Xia Feng was busy discussing military and economic issues with two of the most important rulers of the Tanta Empire, and he was neither concerned nor interested in what was happening around him, and naturally he could ignore it completely. As for the current negotiations, everyone knows a lot of things, and the most important thing is to strive for the best interests of each side.

"As early as six months ago, I was not worried about your country's dispatch of troops, and the reason why I explained to Your Majesty that I hope you can give Stamia and Tanta a chance, and don't talk about war lightly. ”

Saying this, Xia Feng felt that he had no position and was hypocritical.

Naple looked at Wise noncommittally, "Six months ago?" When Gina and Natsufeng were engaged?

"Back to Your Majesty, six months ago, the city lord of Male City died violently. Prime Minister Wise said respectfully to Naple.

"No wonder......" Naple said coldly, "It seems that His Royal Highness Yanhua really did his homework before coming down." ”

"Your Majesty Xie's praise, Yanhua's duty lies. Xia Feng's official answer.

The seven states of Yinghai in the south of the Tanta Empire have been the most economically developed areas in the country since ancient times, and the core area where Male City is located is known as the "Silver Capital", with frequent maritime trade with countries around the world, supporting nearly half of the foreign trade trade of the Tanta Empire with the power of one place, and becoming the most important source of tax revenue for the Tanta Empire. Because of this, the lord of Mala City is not only in a high position, but can even influence national decision-making by controlling the flow of tax revenues.

In other words, the money, whether it goes to the royal family or to the Holy See, is controlled by the lord of the city of Mara, and no matter where it goes, it goes to the treasury on the surface. For a long time, the competition between the royal family and the Holy See for the choice of the master of the city of Malla City has been very fierce, and with the continuous expansion of the power of the Holy See, in the past two or three hundred years, the city lord of the city of Malla City has been controlled by the Holy See, and the "Silver Capital" has naturally become the treasury of the Holy See.

Six months ago, Lord Goode, who had served as the city lord of Male City for more than 20 years, died suddenly, causing a lot of shock in the country, but also because there were too many things happening at home and abroad during that time, everyone was distracted, so except for the relevant personnel, ordinary people didn't pay much attention to this matter, anyway, one died and the second one. However, what happened next seemed to confirm everyone's ridicule, in six months, Male City had four successive city lords, and they died violently one after another, and the reason could not be found, the most recent one happened five days ago, which almost coincided with the arrival of the first envoys of the Starmian Empire in the capital of the Tanta Empire.

The position of the lord of Mara City seems to be cursed.

Naple sat down on a lounge chair in the middle of the lawn and said in a relaxed voice: "One place and one city is just a matter of not affecting the overall situation." ”

Xia Feng and Prime Minister Wise stood not far from Naple and said, "The 'Silver Capital' is not an ordinary city and a place, of course, if it was a previous year, this impact may still be controllable, but if your country starts a war and needs to use a lot of money, I believe that it will not be long before your energy will be entangled by the chaos at home, not only is there no hope of victory, but it may also trigger further crises in the country." And the aid outside of the economy, the Ikanathan Empire does not need, let alone recognizes. ”

"Civil strife...... Are you saying that there is something wrong within my empire, just because of the curse of a Mara-Le City?"

Xia Feng smiled: "It turns out that Your Majesty will also believe the rumors." ”

"Presumptuous!" Prime Minister Wise rebuked in anger.

"Don't dare! Whether the curse is true or not, let's put aside for the time being, I want to talk about the greater crisis that your country is now facing. Xia Feng continued unhurriedly, "In the past ten years, the Tatan Empire has suffered a series of droughts, and the grain output should have been greatly affected, right? But these are not the most fundamental reasons, because after meeting Your Majesty and the Prime Minister today, I suddenly understood one thing, you never thought of starting a war, you are just helpless. ”

Naple Taiga's gaze suddenly sharpened, and quickly swept over the summer breeze, as if it was about to overshoot him.

Wise Tried's hands resting on his lower abdomen clenched subconsciously and frowned.

Xia Feng calmly continued: "I believe that the two of you are well aware of the domestic situation in the Tanta Empire, we entered from the western part of your country, and all we saw along the way were busy spring planting scenes, first congratulations to Your Majesty, if this year can enter autumn smoothly, I think it will definitely be a bumper harvest year, and it will definitely alleviate the domestic food shortage situation; ”

"Hmph, ridiculous!, where the hell did you get the news? Who told you that the Tanta Empire was short of food?" asked Prime Minister Wise with a sneer.

"Of course, there is no shortage of food, because you can also buy it from other countries, most of it through the port of Yinghai, through the city of Marle, and with the permission of the Holy See. ”

Prime Minister Wise couldn't hold back his anger at all, but when he wanted to speak and refute again, he was stopped by Naple raising his hand, Xia Feng's words were so clear and clear, no matter how much he argued and denied it, they still underestimated this young man.

In fact, the Tanta Empire has neither food nor money, and it is impossible to unite with Icanathan to wage war, and it is the Holy See that has the strength, and it is also the Holy See who is desperately eager for the minerals of the four northern provinces of Sdamia. The only thing the royal family and the court can do and must do is to try to maintain domestic stability, once a riot is caused by food shortages, the first to be sanctioned is the royal family, and they may even be abandoned by the Holy See, which means that they are abandoned by God. But even such a thing still needs the help of the Holy See, who can say that they are not aggrieved? Do they dare to start a war because they don't die fast enough?

This is the power of Xia Feng Yanhua, through the appearance of the deepest problems, and use them, even "alarmist", some words, some things, no one mentions and no one wants to care, and once someone raises it, fear or doubt, the seeds are planted.

"So you went to the Holy See yesterday. Naple smiled coldly and said, "Now that you have the promise of the Divine Messenger, do you have any instructions for coming here today?"

Xia Feng neither denied nor affirmed, but said: "I understand the difficulties of Your Majesty, if it were not for the successive droughts, he would not have relied on one city and one land to get here, and even if the land was kept stable, most of it was in the hands of the Holy See, and they enjoyed the privilege of tax exemption and exemption from forced labor. ”

"What does Your Highness want to say?" Prime Minister Wise seemed to have adjusted his mood, but he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Xia Feng's conversation at all, what the hell is going on with this person? "We believe that with God's blessing, drought and other difficulties will soon be solved. ”

This is obviously perfunctory, if God is willing to take care of this matter, it will not make you hold your head up for so many years, not to mention that it is the Holy See who is responsible for communicating with God.

Xia Feng smiled and said openly: "In fact, the situation of the Kanazawa royal family is no better than that of your country, there is no point in sneering at each other, and it is the right choice to report the group for warmth." ”

Taking the initiative to show weakness is often a good way to close the distance, but it is useless for them who are used to seeing wind and rain.

Naple and Wise both smiled sarcastically, how naïve is it to say such a thing as "reporting to the group for warmth"? No matter how ugly the Holy See of their own country is, it is impossible for them to unite other countries against their own people. A child is a child, almost fooled by the bluff in front of him.

Xia Feng raised his feet to relax his numb calves properly, but he didn't expect to talk for so long without even a seat, and he was tired to death.

Naple watched Xia Feng's smile slowly spread, but what he wanted to say suddenly couldn't be spoken, it was a kind of strategizing, carefully designed trap and watching people jump down and succeed in the smile, undisguised, flamboyant and presumptuous.

"Summer Wind Yanhua Kanazawa!"

Xia Feng met Naple's confused and slightly shocked gaze, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Yan Hua thinks that he is a person who will not let his friends suffer, no matter what you and the prime minister think, I will show my sincerity first, so you can stand still and wait for me to walk over." ”

Xia Feng was still like that, with a calm and comfortable smile, but Naple and Wise seemed to see his calm and powerful momentum as if he were the master of the world.

Naple slowly stood up from his seat and stared directly at the summer breeze.

Xia Feng said: "Please Your Majesty determine the candidate for the city lord of Male City as soon as possible, tomorrow and tomorrow, the Tiantanta Empire will need his appearance." ”
