Chapter 480: Thunder 1493
The first thunderbolt of the spring of 1493 was the collapse of the True Spirit 'Holy Sword' and 'Aegis' weapons factories.
These two weapons factories didn't take the words of a mere human lord to heart at all, and only thought that Mei Yi was a fool, and continued to sell weapons to the three southern places unscrupulously.
Rong Yu was not polite at all, and immediately found all the merchants who had business dealings with the two weapons factories, including upstream and downstream enterprises such as smelting, transportation, and design, and said: "From now on, if you have any more business dealings with the two weapons factories, the Melonway Bank will immediately cut off the supply to you, and there will be no grace period for all loans." ”
There are two merchants who believe that they have the support of the aristocracy, and they still secretly deal with two arms factories. As a result, Rong Yu took people to the Zhenling Circuit Court with two due IOUs, and took the execution order to directly seize all the properties of the two merchants to pay off the debts.
The merchants tried to resist.
Hehe.
Rong Yu brought the debt collection to the elite army that Mei Yi equipped for her to protect the Earl's Palace, not to mention that there were Rong Yu's sisters - two demigod-level demonic beasts.
At this moment, all the merchants were frightened and silent, and immediately stopped all business with the two arms factories.
The backstage of the Holy Sword Weapons Factory is Duke Clint of Hemishire, one of the most senior nobles in the kingdom. The backstage of the Aegis Weapons Factory is even more powerful, is a member of the royal family, Elda, the half-brother of King Ayer.
The two of them didn't take Meiyi seriously at first, until a month later, the operator ran over and said: "My lord, the weapons factory is now going to mine or not, and the weapons that have been made can't be shipped." The factory can't be opened anymore, and it's about to go out of business! ”
The two did not hesitate and immediately filed a complaint with King Ai Yan.
As soon as King Ai Qi heard that it was Meiyi's business, he said angrily: "It's him again! Queen, what do you say he is going to do? Aren't we tolerant and caring for him enough? He actually openly bullied the nobles! ”
Queen Elsa smiled secretly in her heart and said, "I don't know about this yet. Why did he do it? ”
"About a month ago, he asked us to stop sending weapons to the three places in the south, otherwise we would cut off the supply of ore. Even more insidiously, he threatened to forbid anyone with whom we worked not to serve us, or else cut off their funds and collect their debts. ”
Ai Qi suddenly said sternly: "These two weapons factories actually send weapons to the south privately? How come I have never seen the relevant approvals? Cecilia, go and get the heads of those two weapons factories for me at once! This is treason! ”
Elda trembled with fear.
He had forgotten about it.
The weapons factory in True Spirit City has always been directly supplied to the kingdom army, and if you want to supply weapons to the local army, you have to batch them to the king layer by layer. However, in the early days of King Eze's reign, the aristocracy was tyrannical and unruly, so much so that many people turned a blind eye to these regulations.
This kind of thing is like this, if you don't care about it, it will pass, and if you really want to compare it, it is a capital crime!
In the afternoon of the same day, the True Spirit Royal Court finished hearing the case, and the Wang Kingdom Army directly cut off the heads of the heads of the two weapon factories, and all those involved in smuggling weapons were exiled to the northern land and fed to the monsters.
The royal city was in turmoil for a while, and the nobles were in danger, and they all broke their arms to survive, and they broke off their relationship with these two lucrative weapons factories, and King Ai Qi got his wish and took these two factories into the royal family.
And that's just the beginning.
Due to the developed industry, low commercial taxes, and relaxed and free business environment of Ice and Snow City, it has long replaced Wind Valley City and become the commodity distribution center of the northern kingdom, and the embargo on Giant Wood City, Southern Fairy Forest, and Black Crystal City soon reached a point where several big lords could not bear it.
Watches, fashion, perfumes, bags, precious ingredients, and various industrial products in the Ice and Snow City have all been blocked out of the three places, seriously affecting the lives of the aristocracy. For example, the toilet in the nobleman's house was broken, and the whole city could not find the accessories, so he had to go to the squatting pit, and there were even many incidents of falling into the dung pit and drowning, choking to death, or supporting death.
Not only that, but Ice City also used its advanced papermaking and printing skills to print the stories from the mouths of refugees who fled to Ice City into comic books, which were publicly distributed throughout the kingdom to publicize the atrocities of these great lords.
In the end, it gets to the point where the child is too scared to cry when he hears the names of Christine, Wind, or Prince.
Not only that, Meiyi also sent people to escort thousands of refugees who fled to Ice and Snow City to the main temple, knelt in the square and cried about the atrocities of those high lords, and prayed to the Pope to come forward and carry out the will of Goddess Emilia and excommunicate these high lords.
Pope Cleosu: Caught between not coming forward, not coming forward. In the end, she took advantage of Liuluo's connections and successfully got Meiyi to withdraw the people who were crying, and Liuluo was thus selected as a cardinal.
Under Meiyi's operation, for a while, Christine and the other three became synonymous with demons.
However, soon the queen wrote to Meiyi, and let Mei Yi stop there.
Mei Yi got off the donkey, and he knew in his heart that the kingdom could not withstand such chaos now.
After such a fuss, Christine and these people knew how powerful Ice City and Meiyi were, and immediately sent expensive gifts to sue for peace.
Mei Yi refused without hesitation, and asked someone to bring back the laws of Ice and Snow City, and said coldly: "I, Mei Yi, will never deal with the kind of brutal people who treat the people like pigs and dogs. If trade is to resume, your High Lord must undergo regular inspections by the Ice City to make sure that there is no more humiliation, plunder, or mutilation of the people. ”
"It's better to do what I say right away, otherwise, in the next step, I will unite with other consular districts to directly cut off the trade between the three places! I tell you plainly that the suspension of the revelation of the crimes of your high lord is only for the queen's son. I have a way to make you big lords like rats crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats! ”
When Feng Qi, Christine, Prince and the others heard this, they viciously tore off the "Ice and Snow City Law" in their hands and shouted, "The little Ice and Snow City actually wants to come to check us? Mei Yi: Did he think he was the king? Not even the king dared to do that! it! Without Ice and Snow City, Lao Tzu can't do it? ”
Next, Meiyi really united the Land of Winds, the Fairy Forest, and the Blue Water Bay, and completely cut off the trade with the three places except for food, seeds, medicines and other necessities. In addition, these goods must be carried by merchant ships outside the three places.
Where did these high-flying lords suffer such humiliation, the wind finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sent warships to attack the merchant ships of Ice City and other consuls, looting the goods on them.
Unexpectedly, a large number of black ships emitting white smoke from Ice and Snow City immediately arrived, and in the heavy rain, almost all the warships in the Southern Fairy Forest were sunk.
The big man who lived in the castle on the banks of the Luoshui River was almost stupid when he saw this scene.
At this moment, the soldiers on the castle smashed stones at the warship of the Ice City, and they immediately found that the black iron pipe on the ship was aimed at them, and then there was a shelling that lasted for nearly half an hour.
The fortified walls were shattered to slag like tofu, countless spiritualists and warriors fell to their deaths, and the people of the castle fled. However, the warriors of Ice City had no intention of stopping, and they landed one after another, demanding that the castle hand over the culprit of attacking the warships of Ice City.
In the end, they simply kidnapped the big man and freed all the imprisoned people in the castle and transported them away by merchant ships.
The big man shouted: "Do you know who I am, dare to do this to me? My father is ......"
Immediately, a military boot stained with stinky mud trampled his delicate white face on the cold deck of the black ship, and the cold rain slapped indiscriminately on his face, frightening him to beg for mercy.
Mei Fan's cold voice came: "People in their thirties and forties, and they still make fun of their fathers, and they look like something of little interest!" If you force it again, you will crush your delicate face! ”
* * *
What happened in the Southern Fairy Forest quickly spread throughout the country.
His Majesty was furious and summoned Mei Yi for the first time in four years.
The day Mei Yi entered True Spirit City, the people of True Spirit City almost poured out, all wanting to see the dignity of this human lord.
Mei Yi, who was sitting in the carriage, smiled and greeted the people of True Spirit City.
The people of True Spirit City also let out enthusiastic cheers, almost submerging the entire royal city.
Cecilia, who "escorted" Meiyi into the city, said helplessly: "You are almost the same!" The king is angry now, and if you are still so high-profile, he will be even more angry! If you don't get it right, you'll be gone, the marquis! ”
Mei Yi said: "Cecilia, is what I said confirmed?" ”
Cecilia was silent for a long time, and said, "You're not entirely right. It's not just Lord Esther, the Ripples of the Fairy Forest, the Flowers of Ice Valley City, and the Widowed Lady Lord of Blue Water Bay are all on his list. A few years ago, I stopped contacting him. ”
Mei Yi said: "It's good to see clearly, in this era, if you take a wrong step, you will die and the clan will be wiped out, and you must not be willful." ”
Cecilia said hatefully: "You still talk about others, and so do you!" After such a big disaster, do you think you can fool around casually? Think about yourself first! ”
After speaking, Cecilia said in a low voice: "Meiyi, is there no possibility between us?" ”
Mei Yi said: "I tell you clearly, I won't stop here, and there will be a bigger disaster next, if you follow me, not only will the head of the Royal Palace Knight Order not want to be promoted, but the deputy head will also be masturbated soon, and may even be imprisoned!" ”
Cecilia sighed, "I see. No wonder the queen said to me that we were not suitable for each other. I will always treat you as a friend, and I will do my best to help you, even if you are soft-spoken. ”
Gradually, the tall spire of the King's Castle came into view.
After another half an hour, the group came to the woods south of the palace.
Passing through the woods, the mighty Lake Melohia and the majestic castle of the kings come into view.
He looked at the two-story building where he lived when he was the princess's teacher standing quietly by the lake, and it was still very new.
The swing in front of the small building swayed gently in the wind.
