Chapter 1041: Each Has His Own Abacus
It can be said that this is a beautiful difference, nothing, but you can get good food, drink and hospitality from the local kingdom. Moreover, the envoy has great power, not only to determine the amount of taxes to be paid by the kingdom, but also to inquire into the kingdom's fiscal revenue.
In most matters, the envoy can do what he says, and he has the meaning that he will be outside the country and that the king's order will not be affected.
Dahan's envoy is called Johnson, and he has been in Dahan for two years. The envoys rotate every three years, and in another year, Johnson will move to another country.
With Greif's ability, of course, he can serve this Johnson well. This Johnson has never made any trouble with the big man, and the amount of tax paid every year, how much the big man proposes, Johnson signed without bargaining. The cooperation between the two sides is very pleasant.
But this time, Johnson couldn't do it if he wanted to be a good man, because an envoy of higher rank than him came, with the latest will from the Kingdom Guild. Johnson only has a run before and after in this matter, and has no say in it.
It was through Johnson that Gref learned the general situation of the matter.
The Mercenary Guild approached the Kingdom Guild and asked it to pay attention to the ongoing battle between Dahan and Carter. The Mercenary Guild proposed that the Tiger Wing Legion of the Han Dynasty had artifact-level magic weapons such as the Mayan Divine Bow of the Psychic Palace, the Imperial Qiankun Ding, and the Hundred Treasure Umbrella, and had been used in the great war between the two sides.
It was a battle of disparity, and Carter had no chance of winning. For this reason, the Kingdom Guild went to the Mercenary Guild. Out of the way, the Mercenary Guild sent someone to mediate, but as a result, Dahan not only did not listen to the mediation, but instead injured and captured the mediator of the Mercenary Guild, and also snatched the Mercenary Guild's two artifact-level magic weapons!
The Mercenary Guild could have punished the Han on its own, but considering that things at the kingdom level have always been under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom Guild.
Out of respect for the Kingdom Guild, the Mercenary Guild sent a note to the Kingdom Guild, asking the Kingdom Guild to come forward to punish the unruly Han and protect the weak Carter.
The Kingdom Guild also had information about the battle between the Han and Carter before, but the information of the Kingdom Guild was that Carter violated the rules and plotted against the Han, which led to the Han Dynasty's national war.
Now the Mercenary Guild has turned around to speak for Carter, and it is not the one who sent the big man. Although the Kingdom Guild knows that there must be something strange in it, the Mercenary Guild and the Great Han are not the same heavyweight at all, and the Kingdom Guild does not need to offend the Mercenary Guild for the sake of a Great Han.
Therefore, the Kingdom Guild did not conduct any investigation, so it rashly made an order to severely punish the Han.
Greef, who learned of the situation, submitted a report to the Kingdom Guild overnight to reflect the situation, and Johnson also helped testify to show that there was no falsehood.
However, the Kingdom Guild was unmoved, and still insisted on the original will: the Han must withdraw unconditionally, otherwise, the tax rate will be raised to 50%.
The elders of the Han side urgently discussed the current situation and agreed that it is not impossible to withdraw from the army, but they are afraid that Carter will rely on the mercenary union to use troops against the Han Dynasty!
Moreover, the most important thing is that the Mercenary Guild said that the Great Han captured the people of the Mercenary Guild and robbed them of their magic weapons. If the Mercenary Guild insists on this, and the big man can't hand it over, things will be quite tricky.
Compared with the Mercenary Guild, one is an egg and the other is a rock, which is incomparable. In this matter, there is no way but to swallow your anger.
Retreating from the army is a trivial matter, but the captured people and the magic weapon of robbery, this matter must always fall on the head of the Gu family to solve. Therefore, Gu Yangming must rush back from the front line as soon as possible.
happened to meet Gu Xiuliang who woke up, and Gu Xiuliang, who had just recovered from his injuries, was forced to rush to the front line, preside over the front-line military affairs, and replace Gu Yangming.
What Greif said was very tragic, and the main idea was that the big man was being bullied by the two giant guilds, and there was no way to complain. Gref's words also successfully aroused Gu Tiancheng's anger.
I didn't expect the Mercenary Guild to be so shameless! Obviously, they were deliberately dealing with themselves and the Gu family, and after suffering a loss, they actually beat them up and took their responsibilities clean.
That's not all, the Kingdom Guild knew that it was wrong, but it didn't care, aiding the abuse, and helping the Mercenary Guild to pressure the big man.
Anyway, the thing has already fallen into Gu Tiancheng's hands, if you want Gu Tian to sell it, don't think about it. Anyway, it's really hard to get up, the mercenary guild has a big business, and there are many targets that can be destroyed.
And for the sake of a small Gu family, it is impossible for the Psychic Hall and the Seven Great Guilds to join forces to deal with it. The other guilds will only watch from the sidelines and watch the excitement of the mercenary guild.
Besides, isn't there still a Crescent Guild? The Mercenary Guild is so deflated, will the people of the Crescent Guild not smell a chance?
Anyway, no matter what, he must not succumb to the pressure of the Mercenary Guild.
Gu Tiancheng thought so, but Gu Yangming was an old fox, so he thought even deeper. What happened in Carter's first battle, the Han royal family knew very well, why the Mercenary Guild suddenly stood up to put pressure on the Han, and they also knew the reason.
There are not only envoys of the Kingdom Guild in the capital of the Great Han Dynasty, but also observers of the Psychic Palace. If Dahan stabbed this matter to the Psychic Palace, no matter how biased the Psychic Hall was to the Mercenary Guild, it would at least assume the posture of a notary and come forward to coordinate the matter.
This is the weakest way, and it doesn't have much to lose to the big han, but the big han obviously never considered this. It is clearly a tough confrontation.
Since he wants to be tough, there is a problem with Dahan's current statement. In Gu Yangming's opinion, it is obvious that the Han royal family is reaching out to the Gu family to ask for benefits: your Gu family has received so many benefits, and now the entire Han is under pressure for you, should you spit out a little, everyone has a share.
If it is a general interest, Gu Yangming doesn't care about it, just take it out, who makes the family a royal family. But this time it's two artifacts! It's impossible to take out artifacts, and they can only be supplemented by other means. And the artifact is priceless, how much subsidy can satisfy the royal family, Gu Yangming has no score in his heart.
Moreover, Gu Yangming is even more worried that once this opening is opened, the royal family will get benefits, and he will reach out to the Gu family even more vigorously in the future.
Therefore, on the trade-off, this opening must not be opened. If you don't speak, you can only help the royal family solve the current problem. This one is also quite tricky, but there is something to talk about. The artifact and the person are in their own hands, and the advantage is still there.
As for the current pressure on Dahan, it can't be called pressure at all. An iron fort may seem impregnable, but it is also supported by Carter's war potential. As long as this war severely damages Carter's war potential, when the limelight passes, the Tiger Wings can send troops to take Fort Ironwall at any time. There's no need to rush.
As for the pressure of the Mercenary Guild, it is better solved, and for the royal family, it is just a matter of asking three questions.
