Chapter 334
Successfully earned the first pot of gold, the whole city was excited, and the civilians watched the truckloads of quilts transported to the distance, and they were already excited. They all ran to tell each other, and many people even sang and danced in the street.
However, in fact, this money can only solve the short-term problem, if all the money is exchanged for food and distributed to the whole city to eat, if according to the standard of two dishes and one soup, it is estimated that it can be eaten in two or three days. At the same time, a part of this money has to be given to the imperial people, including the elves, after all, it is also very hard to help with wood-based spells, and you can't hide the money you make. Kevin also has to prepare a copy here, although Kevin won't ask for his money, but he also has to prepare.
If you calculate the money carefully, you will find that it is never enough, especially after becoming the lord of the city, it is difficult to maintain the overall situation by just relying on one or two big sales. What should I do? The quilt warrior can only set his eyes on other main cities, since one main city can be fooled once, then the other main cities should not be a big problem.
In this regard, the quilt brave also asked Kevin's opinion in advance, and Kevin did not object, but he did not approve either. It's really hard to give advice on this, and it's good to get money, but it's undoubtedly risky. After all, the main thing to fool is that document, once it is exposed, the consequences are unpredictable.
From here, who is the Barak who gave the quilt brave certificate?
But this person has disappeared directly recently, and neither the crow nor the parrot have seen him on patrol nearby, and the ambassador has made it clear that this person is not from Lou Baole Country, so he can only leave it at that.
Since Kevin did not have a clear answer, the Quilt Brave decided to find the next main city to continue his foolishness. With an experience, things can be done according to the template in the future, and the quilt warrior is also much more proficient. And it must be done as soon as possible, once the other city lords find out, it will be difficult to do.
Just do it, and that day, the quilt brave man took people to find another remote main city, and then began to march towards the next main city without stopping. In addition to the capital, the quilt brave decided to go to all the places controlled by the government army, and it would not be too long to drive, it is estimated that three or four days will be at most, and ten minutes to half an hour is enough in a city, and then let them think for themselves after speaking, the main time is still on the road.
And his main city is basically in a state of benign operation, even if the city lord is not there for a few days, there will be no major problems. The point is that both elves are in the city, and the other kobolds will not dare to attack the city at will.
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and the quilt was dragged back by the brave man with a tired expression, and every time he arrived in the main city, he said a few words, and then left the city lord to let him think for himself. As a result, when he returned to the city by himself, the city lord had already figured it out and came to ask for a purchase, and his subordinates had already made arrangements, and a pile of quilts was stuffed over.
Even the quilts have been sold out of stock, and the warehouses have been emptied. It was not until this day that the brave quilt finally had a good night's sleep, and the whole city celebrated, singing and dancing, eating and drinking. Although the food is not high-end, at least the poorest people here eat meat, which is much better than if they don't have enough to eat normally.
The next morning, order was fully restored to the main city, and civilians began to clean up the garbage left over from yesterday's celebrations, which had become their habit. According to the custom, the quilt brave man patrolled along the road, and many people greeted him cordially, where he could call everyone's name and know everyone.
From the development direction of the main city to the neighborhood conflicts between civilians, the quilt brave can solve it, of course, he is not absolutely fair and just, but at least he has won the satisfaction of most people. Especially compared to the previous city lord, or other city lords, it is really different.
At the end of the month, the empire sent people everywhere to collect money, although it was called the purchase or maintenance of armaments, but the actual situation was well known. The quilt warrior also had to pay money, and according to Bradley's will, it was twice as much as the previous city lord.
Kevin and the others actually considered whether to deliberately pay a little less, or some other way to fool the past, but they discussed it for a long time. They all feel that this is the foundation of the empire, and they still have to pay what should be paid. The key problem is that the Empire did not lack quilts, they mainly needed ore. And the money that the quilt brave man got from selling quilts was actually just a circle around, and the total output of his kobold did not change much.
The brave people here have paid more, but the others have paid less, and it is difficult to figure out whether it is a loss or a profit in a short period of time. In addition, the quilt warrior is always a hidden danger, once his influence reaches a certain level, will it be out of the control of the empire?
But on the other hand, under the rule of the Quilt Brave, the kobold civilians are indeed much more diligent, and if they can use this energy to mine, it is the most satisfying labor force in the Empire.
The Imperial side has also been holding meetings to discuss how to solve this problem, and it is difficult to come up with an answer in a short time, so the problem has been dragged down. Either way, this is a problem after all, and the Empire needs to give them some warning.
In the past, there were several city lords who said yes together, and then they did less of this kind of thing together, secretly thinking that no matter how much the imperial people could control it, they would not change all the city lords to one side, right? After all, there are always people who are not afraid of death in troubled times, and there are always bold people who like to flirt with tiger whiskers.
It's true that the people of the empire won't all change sides, they don't even remember the name of the kobold city lord, they just know which city. So the rebels raided, the government forces raided, and even a bunch of robbers from somewhere suddenly came in, and after a few times, everyone remembered the consequences.
It's the same this time, the rebel army, which has been silent for a long time, finally began to storm the main city of the government army, this time no longer knocking the main city of the bright brave, nor reaching the main city of the quilt brave, but attacking from the front.
The government forces were in a panic, and the rebels were so strong that they were completely powerless to resist. In just one day, the entire line of defense that the government forces had worked so hard to build collapsed, and the main city was in danger.
Of course, the government army understands what is going on behind the scenes, and it is not a way to do it at this time, and it is not the right to propose negotiations before the other side has achieved great results.
The other party agreed to negotiate, in the final analysis, the empire still wants money, and if you can give money without fighting, then it is not impossible to talk.
And when it comes to negotiations, how to negotiate and who to send to negotiate is another question. The king here does not have much control over the city lords below, and if the king signs a treaty and sells a certain city, but the city lords below do not buy it, won't he have to fight again when the time comes? In the same way, the leader of the rebel army over there, the dog-headed shaman, does not have such great control over the bottom.
Could it be that all the city lords sat down and talked together? That would be too much of a mess. In the end, it was decided that only a few city lords at the front came to talk, and the negotiation location was chosen at the airport, and a simple shed was built. The Quilt Brave is not the frontier city lord, so he is not among them, but the Bright Brave is.
Although the negotiation venue is simple, at least it is covered by the Imperialists, and ambassadors and observer delegations of various countries are also allowed to come and observe. But this does not prevent unseen tricks from being shot, such as illusions.
That's why before the negotiation, Kevin had a warning to the Bright Brave: "Remember to try to make that kind of under-beaten expression when negotiating." ”
"Why?" the Bright Brave was at a loss.
"Don't ask so much, just do it. Kevin replied.
