Chapter 306: Marriage
"Do you still recognize my brother?" said Lyle unceremoniously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mia was slightly stunned, but soon came to her senses, this is Black Iron Town, and it is not the royal capital, so she usually puts on a shelf, why do you have to look at his face when she goes outside?
She plucked up the courage to retort, "Could it be that my father sent you to fight against Renault?"
Asked by Mia, Lyle also instantly remembered his mission.
If you get too stiff with Renault, it is estimated that the next topic will not be easy to talk about.
Lyle's most important thing is the success rate of the work, and before he set off, he personally assured His Majesty that this matter would be successful.
"Dear Highness Lyle," Renault is not a unforgiving character, it is almost enough to block a prince out of the door like this for so long, and kill one of his guards, "I think you are tired from traveling for a long time, why don't you go up and have a cup of afternoon tea." ”
Under Mia's sudden assertiveness and Renault's deliberately low-pitched invitation, Lyle could only endure this evil breath for the time being, and walked into the door of the city hall side by side with Mia.
On the way, he glared at Mia very dissatisfied, but in exchange for Mia's extremely indifferent ignorance.
This little girl, who has only been in Black Iron Town for a few days, actually has her heart towards Renault.
As soon as he thought of the two lifelike ice sculptures outside the gate, Lyle felt uncomfortable for a while. As a veteran who has traveled through flowers all year round, how could he not know the little caution of Mia's girl.
However, His Royal Highness the King is known for her open-mindedness and love for her children, and as long as His Majesty does not set a marriage for Mia for a day, she has the right to choose for herself.
Renault is so rampant now, wouldn't it be a matter of turning the sky upside down if he really let him marry Mia and become a member of the royal family!
So Lyle secretly made up his mind to get Mia back to the royal capital no matter what, and then use his influence over His Majesty the King to make a marriage contract for Mia and cut off her relationship with Renault.
As for the deal with Renault, he believes that no one has yet been able to resist the royal family's coercion and powerful money offensive.
Coming to Renault's living room, according to etiquette, Renault invited Lyle to the main seat, and then asked Weiwei to serve steaming tea, and asked the little fat chef Harry to make two exquisite and delicious refreshments at once.
The warm room temperature and the fragrance of the tea blended together, and it seemed that the unhappiness just now disappeared in an instant.
As a affairs officer, seeing that Renault did not take the initiative to speak, Hank sighed softly in his heart, and began to talk to Lyle about the trivial matters of the royal capital.
While chatting with Hank, Lyle was silently planning in his mind how to talk about the next thing in order to buy Renault's weapon with the least amount of money.
It wasn't until he had eaten the pastries that Lyle had made up his mind and seemed to be in a much better mood.
Picking up the paper towel with the scent of oranges, he was about to show his elegance, when he suddenly thought that this paper towel was still produced in Black Iron Town, and suddenly felt bored.
So he coughed lightly twice, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said slowly: "Lord Renault, I have come this time to discuss cooperation with you on behalf of His Majesty the King. ”
"What cooperation?"
Of course, Renault knew in his heart that it was not a cooperation, but that the royal family unilaterally wanted to force a purchase.
"A very good partnership for the royal family and for you. ”
"His Majesty looks up to me Renault, but I really don't know if there is anything else in my Black Iron Town that can make the royal family look good. ”
"Okay, I'll get straight to the point. The royal family wants to buy your weapon, the same weapon you use to defeat the army of the Black Sheep. Lyll paused for a moment and continued, "The kind your escort used just now also needs it. ”
"No, these weapons are limited in quantity, and I don't have them when I sell them to the royal family. ”
Renault shook his head like a rattle, and such a clumsy excuse was said by him as if it were true.
Of course, Lyle knew that this was just Renault's statement, but being rejected so firmly made him slightly stunned, he hadn't made an offer yet.
However, he had long expected that Renault would not agree so easily, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and immediately said: "We will pay a very high price, you just have to open your mouth as many gold coins as you want." ”
Having said that, Lyle felt that if Renaud didn't change his tune, he would have to take a more radical approach.
Who knew that Renault didn't take a second to think about it at all, and still shook his head: "No." ”
Well, toast without eating and eating penalty wine.
Lyle took a sip of hot tea calmly, and then said, "Okay, let's put this matter aside for now, let's talk about the transfer of troops and taxes from Black Iron Town." ”
If you can't buy it, do you have to start using means?
Renault was amused, but still innocently asked, "His Majesty promised me not to transfer troops and collect taxes from Black Iron Town for three years. ”
"But how come I don't know?" said Lyle, too, with a look of surprise, "but when I was leaving, His Majesty himself told me about it, and I don't think His Majesty would lie to me, would he?"
Of course, if the royal family wanted to play tricks, Renault really couldn't do anything, after all, what happened at that time was just a verbal promise of a gentleman.
However, Lyle wants to use this as a bargaining chip to force Renault to submit, and it is estimated that it will not work.
Who is Renault, and does the world know more about taxes than him?
"Okay, then tell me, how are you going to transfer troops and collect taxes?"
"You mine ore, you have to pay taxes. ”
"Yes, according to the laws of the royal family, a mine is worth 1,000 gold coins a year, and I will pay this. ”
Renault agreed so happily that Lyle felt a little abnormal.
But this is just the beginning, he doesn't believe that the taxes he said later, Renault can still be as calm as he is now.
"You have to pay taxes when you smelt iron ore. ”
"No," Renault quickly retorted, "Your Highness Lyle, you don't need to smelt ore, and you only need to pay taxes when you sell finished products." But everyone knows that the finished products I get from smelting ore are not sold, but all for my own use. ”
"This ...... Well, this one doesn't count. Then you should pay the tax on selling alcohol, right?"
The tax on the sale of liquor is not low, and usually the royal family levies it at 90%. For this alone, Renault owes the royal family more than one million in this year.
As a result, Renaud spread his hands: "Lord Lyle, I didn't sell this wine." ”
"If you didn't sell it, who could sell it?"
"My brewery in Black Iron Town only helps the residents of Tuke City process grain into spirits, and as for what they use to make of those wines, it is not for me to manage. ”
Reynolds meant that if the royal family wanted to collect taxes from the sale of alcohol, they would go door-to-door in the Tuke Basin.
Of course, Lyle knew that he was cheating, but he couldn't verify them one by one, so he pointed to the toilet paper on the table and said, "What about this, I think Mr. Hank sells a lot of paper towels to the royal capital, and the tax on this luxury is 70% this year." ”
That's a lot of money, and it's hundreds of thousands.
Who knew that Renault still shook his head: "This tax can't be counted on the head of Black Iron Town." ”
"Oh, why?"
Lyle asked with a smile that he wanted to see how Renault was quibbling this time.
"Because these tissues are the ones I gave to Mr. Hank. (To be continued.) )
