Chapter 534 Two Conditions

"I don't want to greet him, His Majesty is a murderer!" the tsundere Princess Celivia has passed her thirtieth birthday, and still maintains a simple personality of love and hate, and is haunted by Queen Sissi's violent illness and death. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Okay, then don't go, Fenna Gary has had a strong pregnancy reaction in the past two days, so you can go and accompany her. Lorist said dotingly as she touched Princess Celevia's hair.

In the past three months, Lorist has not been idle, and has successfully made Fenna Gary bigger and fulfilled her desire to become a mother. As for Princess Celivia's desire to have another child and Daisy's desire to become a mother, Lorist has to continue to work hard.

"Where is His Majesty now?" asked Lorlist.

"I don't know," replied Genorio, "that His Majesty has come to the city of Morent in the name of a messenger this time, and has not been able to enter the city, so none of the six fortified cities in the Plains of Falis have been reciprocated. If it weren't for the fact that Big Brother Reddy took people out of the city to kill wild dogs, we might not have known that His Majesty the King had come in person. Now it should be Brother Reddy who is accompanying His Majesty the King. ”

Three years of bloody fighting left the Plains of Falis in ruins, and herds of dingoes of dead dingoes posed a serious threat to the populaces who were preparing to pioneer in the cities of Thomas and Gypsys. Reddy was ordered by Lorist to take people to clear out the red-eyed wild dogs roaming the plains, and he had been on the go for the rest of his life.

"Alright then, let's ride down the hill and take a look along the road, and if we can meet us, let's meet it. Lorist said, and then led a team of guards on board and down Mount Brynn.

When Lorist saw His Royal Highness, he found that he was watching the lively trading scene in the trade area with great interest, and Reddy stood beside him, and more than twenty royal guards led their horses and followed him from a distance.

Lorist dismounted and greeted him, and gave a knightly salute: "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”

The Second Highness turned around: "Oh, Locke, my brother, are you here? I really didn't expect that it has only been half a year, and you have governed the city of Moriente so well, and it is simply a different appearance from the last time I came." No wonder you are known as the kingdom's first master of the interior. How about you becoming the first prime minister of the empire? I entrust you with the internal affairs of the entire empire, and I believe you will not let me down. ”

Lorist smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, don't make such jokes. Do you know how much money our Norton family has invested in the city of Morent to get to where we are now?Fourteen million Kingford! The family is about to be emptied by me, and the treasurer is now looking at me with angry eyes, and he hasn't given me a good look......

The Second Highness stumbled and almost slipped: "How much? Fourteen million Kingford! Your Norton family is really rich, or lend me one or two million flowers......

Lorist directly burst into foul language: "Rich fart, we haven't been forced yet." This time, our Norton family had a lot of bad luck, not only was the family fleet disabled, but even the capture of Moriente City was not profitable, and a steady stream of various daily necessities and commodities and goods from the family territory were put into this bottomless pit called Moriente City. Of the fourteen million, four million were captured, you know, and the other ten million were ransoms paid by the Business Alliance and the proceeds from the sale of the goods seized by our family's armed forces, all of which I invested in the development of the city of Moldant and the plains of Fallihills. ”

"I don't understand......," the Second Highness asked after a while, "Brother Locke, in the plan you originally told me, the capture of Moldant City was to force the business alliance to agree to our request for peace talks, sign an armistice and restore peace. But now why does the Norton family want to invest this huge amount of money in the development of Moriente City, can it be said that the Norton family wants to occupy Moriente City and the Plains of Mana Hill for a long time?"

His Royal Highness had to ask first, the Norton family dominated the northern land and several provinces around him, which was still in his tolerance, after all, no matter how powerful the Norton family was, it was also a part of the nobility of the Antinac Kingdom, and Lorist became the Sword Saint of the Zhenguo and his subordinates, serving him as the master. However, if the Nortons occupy the Plains of Falis and the city of Moriente, and turn them into another family territory of their family in disguise, it means that Lorist and the Norton family will have the possibility of breaking away from the Kingdom of Antinac and forming their own country.

"Your Majesty, you are thinking too much. Lorist was very sensitive to the unfinished words of the Second Highness, and spread his hands and said: "When did Your Majesty start to have the illusion that the residents of Moriente City will be willing to be a certain king or a lord and a docile leader? We, the Norton family, are not going to be such bloody executioners......"

After a pause, Lorist continued: "As for investing fourteen million Kingford in the development of Moriente City, we are also out of helplessness, but we will go back and talk about this, and I will explain to you, Your Majesty, that this is not a place for conversation." ”

Breen Hills, Lorlist's study.

"What? you actually want to support the establishment of a new Chamber of Commerce Alliance?" The Second Highness finally understood why Lorist was investing such a huge amount of money in Moriente City, this plan was beyond the Second Highness's expectations and imagination.

"To be precise, this is the Freedom Alliance, which, unlike the Business Alliance, is not controlled by the various chambers of commerce, but by the representatives elected by the millions of city residents of the city of Morent, and becomes the supreme authority of the Alliance. Although they also uphold the attitude of valuing business development chambers, they will never allow one chamber of commerce to monopolize the market in a certain livelihood industry like the business alliance, and they will promote or encourage three chambers of commerce in each industry to compete in order to maintain the vitality of development and the price of goods sold in the market...... "Lorist explained.

"But what's the benefit of this for your Norton family?" the Second Highness asked rhetorically.

Lorist smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty, don't forget that there is still a business alliance eyeing you. They insist on not compromising with our kingdom, refusing to hold peace talks, and insisting on fighting us to the end. Our goodwill and the sincerity of the armistice only fueled their greed, and they offered us unacceptable terms of the armistice and threatened to fight our kingdom until the last moment.

Under such circumstances, I have lost the confidence to negotiate an armistice with the business alliance and sign a peace agreement. That's why I'm using the millions of inhabitants of the city of Moriente to form a new Liberty Alliance, making it a new target and enemy of the Business Alliance. The huge investment of 14 million Kingford is mainly to give the Freedom Alliance the strength to independently resist the forces of the Commercial Alliance, so that most of our Norton family forces can get out of this battlefield, and only need to send one or two legions to assist the Freedom Alliance to give the Commercial Alliance a head-on blow.

The free Plains of Mana Hill and the free city of Morent are the sacred homes of the free people, and our Norton family is an outsider, so we can't fight to the death with the business alliance for the sake of the hostile people. It is the duty of every free citizen of the Plains of Mana Hill and the city of Morent to defend the sacred homeland, and we can at best serve as a volunteer and courageous ally to help them resist the invasion of the Merchant Alliance's armed forces.

Why did the business alliance reject our demand for peace talks, ignoring our sincerity in longing for peace? Quite simply, they have the money and the huge markets in the south-central and southern parts of the continent, so they think they can drag this war on until they bring us down. At that time, they can stretch out their dirty hands to our kingdom, seize the commercial interests of our kingdom, control and monopolize the economic market of various industries in our kingdom, become bloodsucking bugs lying on our kingdom, and make the wealth created by our kingdom become the nourishment for them to grow the chamber of commerce.

Therefore, this war is not only a life-and-death struggle on the battlefield, but also a life-and-death struggle in business. Fortunately, although our family fleet and the Invincible Fleet of the Commercial Alliance were both defeated, they cut off the fastest sea transportation route of the Commercial Alliance to the southern part of the continent, although the Commercial Alliance could also transport goods to the market in the southern part of the continent by land, but it lost its timeliness and increased the cost of transportation.

The huge amount of money our family has invested in the city of Moriente is also aimed at reviving the commercial economy of Moriente City and nurturing it to compete with the commercial alliance for the markets in the south-central and southern parts of the continent. As long as we resist the invasion of the commercial alliance in the Falcan Hill Plain, and take away the market share occupied by the commercial alliance in commerce, I believe that as long as it takes two or three years, the commercial alliance will be powerless and will no longer pose a threat to our kingdom. ”

After listening to Lorlist's words, His Royal Highness thought for a while, and then nodded comfortably: "Brother Locke, I'm glad that you are so thoughtful for the sake of the kingdom. The business alliance has indeed become the greatest threat to the kingdom. If you can eliminate the enemy of the Business Alliance according to your plan, it will be a great feat for the kingdom that will go down in history. You and your family will be etched in the history of the Empire, shining with a dazzling light. But is there anything I can do for you, as a king, in carrying out this plan?"

His Royal Highness needs to share some credit, lest he become a passerby or bystander when the success is done in the future, which will be a little embarrassing for His Royal Highness, who prides himself on being the Emperor of Zhongxing who reunited the territory of the former Krisson Empire.

"Of course, we all look forward to His Majesty's helping hand. The reason why Lorist explained so clearly to His Second Highness had already had an idea in his heart, and now that His Royal Highness himself sent it to the door, he naturally would not be polite: "I know that the kingdom has had a difficult life in the past few years because of the war, and I don't expect to receive financial and material support, I only need Your Majesty to promise me two conditions." The first condition is to ask Your Majesty to place a mobile legion in Marivia Province, which is closest to the first fortress city of Falliqiu Plain, Bruvick City, and can support Bruvick City at the first time when the merchant alliance forces attack Falliqiu Plain. ”

"I promise you. His Royal Highness was very satisfied, so that after defeating the business alliance, he, the king, would not be a passerby, and no matter how much he also had a legion under his command participating in the battle, it could even be said that the war was won under his command: "So what is the second condition?"

"I want the port of Qilin. Lorist said.

"Qi Lin Gang ......" The Second Highness was stunned, and immediately asked vigilantly: "What do you want Qi Lin Gang to do?"

His Royal Highness couldn't help but be nervous, Qilin Harbor was not far from the imperial capital, and if he rode a horse, he could raid under the walls of the imperial capital in three days. The Norton family already has Hiloas Island as the family's direct territory, and if they get the port of Qilin again, then the sea route from the Northland to the island of Hiloas and then to the port of Qilin will become a smooth route for the Norton family's armed forces, and they may come to the city at any time.

"Your Majesty, you are thinking too much again," Lorist knew that he was thinking crookedly when he saw the vigilant appearance of His Second Highness: "We don't want to get Qilin Harbor as a family territory, we just want to get the right to manage it,"

"What is the right to operate?" the Second Highness began to be a little curious.

"Quite simply, the port is still your territory, but it's up to us to decide how to develop it. Let's say you have a store and you entrust it to us to do business. It doesn't matter if we're making a profit or a profit, you have a regular income. ”

The Second Highness walked to the wall where the map was hung and stared at the location of Qilin Port for a long time: "I don't think Qilin Port is like a shop, tell me your plans, Brother Locke, how are you going to run Qilin Port?"

"In my mind, I want the port of Qilin to become the largest distribution market for commodity goods and a transshipment station for long-distance transportation in the kingdom. It is strategically located throughout the central province where the imperial capital is located, the northwest region and the southwest province. By the time it grows, its influence will encompass more than a dozen provinces in the southwestern part of the kingdom. The development of the port of its forest will also provide an additional maritime trade route for the free alliance to be established, and the kingdom can also use the port of its forest to communicate with the free alliance to carry out various transactions, which is a win-win road for both sides. ”

His Royal Highness stood in front of the map and pondered for a long time, and finally turned to Lorist and said, "I also have two conditions, one is that the Norton family's armed forces must not land in Qilin Harbor. I will send a corps to garrison the harbor and order them to assist you in the development and maintenance of order in the harbor. The second condition is that I don't need fixed rents and taxes, but only that you and I will share half of the income here after the development of its Limgang. Brother Locke, if you agree to these two conditions, I will entrust the operation of Qilin Harbor to your family. ”

Lorist smiled bitterly, but still nodded: "Deal, my majesty." ”

After negotiating the deal, the two fell silent, and Lorist took the fruit wine and poured another glass for His Royal Highness: "By the way, Your Majesty, I received news two months ago that you were going to inspect all the provinces of the kingdom, why did you suddenly come here?"

The Second Highness drained a golden cup of fruit wine in one gulp, and motioned for Lorist to pour him another glass: "Actually, in fact, I want to explain to you the ugly thing that happened in the imperial capital, I believe you should have heard about it." ”

Lorist pushed a bottle of fruit wine to His Second Highness: "As a courtier, I can't discuss His Majesty's family affairs. His Majesty has been fighting all year round and has snubbed the queen. But after such a scandal, His Majesty and the Grand Duke of Fisabrun were too anxious and ruthless. The Wickan knight who is good with the queen is the son of His Majesty, and the child conceived by the queen is also the blood of the royal family, so why can't he wait for the birth of the child to deal with the queen's crimes?"

This sentence Lorist was asked by Princess Desilvia, the queen *** is guilty, but the child is innocent, and it has been almost eight months, this is one corpse and two lives.

The Second Highness directly picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth, and only after pouring most of the bottle down did he show a helpless smile: "Brother Locke, we can't let this child be born!" Because Queen Sissi has two lovers in addition to the Wickus child, no one knows who this child is, for the purity of the royal blood of the Krisson royal family, we have to let her return to the kingdom of the god of war with the child, maybe only the gods know whose child is in her belly......"

Well, the news revealed from the mouth of the Second Highness directly gave Lorist to Raymond, this, this Queen Sisi was simply killed by herself, Lorist was speechless for a long time before asking cautiously: "Then what agreement did you reach with the Grand Duke of Fisabrune?"

"The Grand Duke of Fisabrun apologized to me, and sent Queen Sisi on her way. I will then tour the entire empire, and I will arrive in the Fisabrun family territory in the second half of next year. The Grand Duke of Fisabrun will select a suitable woman in the clan and adopt her as a righteous daughter, and then marry her to me as the new queen...... "The Second Highness said.

“......”
