After beating the two pashas, Esindo went straight to the point.

"Of course, I don't mean to break my word," said the pharaoh of the Medici Empire, "The promise I made to the two of you last night must be counted. It's just that you have to understand that the interests of the Medicchi Empire are above all else, including me. ”

"That's it. ”

"Your Majesty is indeed far-sighted. ”

The two Pasha expressed their agreement with the Pharaoh's words.

Immediately afterwards, Ezindo waved his hand, and an attendant walked in from outside the hall and presented a wad of papyrus, "The demonic plague that lasted from last night to this morning, you can be regarded as witnesses, you might as well guess the loss of Beit City." ”

Zagan was about to answer, but he inadvertently saw Khalil shake his head slightly, and he immediately realized that "a hundred words are better than a silence".

"According to statistics, the minimum budget for rebuilding the Lingang District of Beit City is three million silver Kate," seeing that the two of them were silent, Ecindo sneered and continued, "Of course, you don't need to worry, this money will not be distributed to you. ”

"However, the reconstruction of the port area is not only about the repair of buildings and the construction of ships, but also the reopening of new trade routes and the injection of stronger development vitality into it. ”

This time, Zagan didn't look at Khalil's face again, he preemptively said: "Your Majesty, although the archipelago territory is remote and barren and lonely overseas, I can guarantee that all merchant ships with the service of the archipelago sailors will sail to Beit City first. ”

"It's quite familiar," thought Essindo, but he said, "It's not enough to ship a ship, Beit City already has an air route to other cities in the interior, and I hope that the air route to the archipelago will be opened as well." ”

Looking at the two Pasha in front of him with a look of understanding on their faces, the Medici monarch patiently explained: "From the archipelago to Beit City, it takes two days to travel by sea, and with the flight speed of a floating beast, you can complete a round trip in one day. When U-sang slaves were put into plantations and mines, a range of products such as sugar, spices, and ore increased, and with the floating beasts as vehicles, these goods could be transported to Beit City more quickly, thus providing more support for the development of trade in the port area. ”

"But," it was Khalil who spoke this time, and the veteran Pasha hesitated, "this matter requires the support of the dragon Pasha, and if we want to increase the capacity, we may not only need to add routes, but even need to purchase adult floating behemoths from them......"

“...... This is my test for you," interrupted Khalil as the Pharaoh interrupted, "the city of Beit will be financially constrained in the short term, and you must make your own demands to Lord Quest and negotiate the purchase order. And this is also related to the management authority of the two Pasha in the future over the group of Usang slaves. Of the two of you, the one who has reached a partnership with the dragon Pasha and signed the contract will have more say in dealing with the Usang slaves. ”

Ezindo bluntly threw out his demands. His purpose is clear, that is, Zagan and Khalil, whoever wants to have the distribution power of the big cake of the Usang slaves will need to bear the cost of purchasing the floating beast from the young blue dragon. Medici, or the Pharaoh at Baxter, would not have paid even a single bronze deben for this project.

"My lordship, I have a word," Seeing that the two Pasha were lost in thought at the same time—they must have known that the cost of procuring the Floating Behemoth would be expensive, and even the family behind it would have to pour out all their wealth—Ezindo said solemnly, "Before you calculate what the Medici will do for you, you must know what you have done for the Medici." Only those who are willing to share the ups and downs with the empire, survive the difficulties together, and have a long-term vision, can obtain the shadow of the empire for generations. ”

The two Pasha hurriedly sang a chorus, ended the recital, and walked out of the palace of the pharaoh under the guidance of the attendants.

"Your Majesty this time...... It's going to roast us on the fire," glancing at the squire officer who was gradually moving away behind him, and on the cobblestone road leading to the two-person car, Zagan couldn't help but whisper to Khalil, "Purchasing a floating beast is definitely not a small amount of money. ”

Khalil glanced at the Pasha of the Archipelago Territory, but he immediately realized that his bad habit might cause the other party's dissatisfaction, "Zagan Pasha, please be cautious," he looked around, "Separation is two evils, cooperation is two benefits, how can there be a reason for only one family to bear the risk of capital contribution." ”

"You mean ......"

The whispered words of the two Pasha did not take long to reach the ears of the pharaoh. Little did they know that beneath the cobblestone road had been buried in brass pipes that had been ordered by the pharaohs of generations earlier to listen to the ministers' discussions.

They discussed a partnership to buy the Floating Behemoth from Quest, which did not surprise Ezindor, but he also knew that neither of the two Pasha would agree to hand the knife that had been used to distribute the large cake of the Usang slaves to the other.

Originally, they were enough to cooperate, but they mainly believed that the pharaoh with the "dinner knife" would not be biased towards one side. And when Ezindo made it clear today that the knife would be handed over to one of them because of the reconstruction of Beit City, the rivalry was inevitable.

And this will lay the groundwork for the outbreak of contradictions and even conflicts in the future. At that time, the Pharaoh would be able to mediate and recover the profits generated by the labor of the Usang slaves, as well as the air lines equipped with floating behemoths.

At this stage, although the two Pasha said that they would cooperate to seek the purchase of the floating behemoth from Quest, they would definitely still seek the opportunity to buy it alone in private, and the price increase would be inevitable.

The bid of the two men is two weights, which will leave the dragon Pasha with no time to worry about in the near future, and the balance of power in the Medici Empire will temporarily return to balance as a result.

"I just don't know," Ezindo pondered alone, sitting in the empty conference hall, "these two weights are just temptations, and I don't know how long this delicate balance will last." ”

Outside the conference hall, footsteps could be heard. Since there is a marble floor radiating outside the door, and there is a small corridor, the sound of walking can be heard far away.

"Your Majesty," said one of the attendants, who ran in and said to Ezindo, "Speaker Kunini, waiting outside the door for your summons. ”

The Pharaoh ordered him to come in, and in his quest for balance, he came up with a plan, but someone needed to carry it out.
