Randy was stunned for a moment, and instantly knew where the pit of his knighthood was this time, and he was waiting here.

Anyway, don't you Lucians investigate how much property I have before giving me a knight? Do I look like a fat sheep?

The Chancellor of the Exchequer still smiled, "I heard that there are a lot of treasures in the Dragon Cave, how much is 10 million gold coins for a dragon knight?"

Not long ago you received a reward of one million rubles from your majesty, and the nobles have a very good opinion?

Of course, I will not be strong, and as soon as you have paid the tribute, I will immediately order the Ministry of the Interior to handle the transfer of land ownership and let the Ministry of War withdraw the garrison there. ”

Ah, I can't get the territory directly yet, and if I don't pay the money, I'm an empty duke who has nothing, and I don't even pay my salary.

Seeing that Randy was a little stunned, Zeng Jiayi stabbed Randy, and looked back at the Chancellor of the Exchequer, "Your Excellency, please wait a few days, Duke Lan will go back to raise tribute." ”

"You have to hurry up, this time Your Majesty canonized Duke Lan, or I strongly advocate it.

Thirty years ago, the former king was interested in selling Alaska, but it happened that a large spiritual vein mine was discovered in the Urals at that time, and the government's financial situation was alleviated.

Right now...... The Dark Federation is in contact with Gilles to renew the purchase of Alaska, and both sides have formed a negotiating team.

The Dark Federation is bidding high. Generals Frunze and Kolchak of the military headquarters opposed the purchase of the territory, considering it a disgrace to the soldiers, so they supported the opinion that I would enclose the territory to you.

His Majesty is also reluctant to sell the land, after all, the land is given to you, or is it Lucia's? Able to maintain Lucia's decency.

And you, as a dragon knight, have a powerful weapon in your hand......"

Speaking of "powerful weapons", the Chancellor of the Exchequer squeezed his eyes and gave him a look of "you know".

Why can you threaten Fort St. Subertai with a god-level forbidden spell, isn't that thing more effective in scaring the mages of the Dark Continent?

"If you can sit in Alaska and resist the infiltration of the Dark Federation and the Maple Leaf Country, Lucia will have one less front line and can use her forces elsewhere, which is why Your Majesty agreed to canonize you.

However, if you don't pay the tribute, your dukedom may be stripped of your title for not paying your Majesty's tribute, and Gilles and the others will have to restart negotiations with the Dark Federation, which Your Majesty and I don't want to see. ”

Negotiation? Zeng Jiayi's eyes rolled, "Your Excellency, that barren land in Alaska is not worth 10 million gold coins, and the Dark Federation will definitely not offer this price."

Duke Lan will definitely go to raise funds immediately, but there may not be that much, so what about the amount of this tribute......"

"I can't be the master of this, 10 million gold coins were proposed by Gilles......"

"Understood, thank you, Your Excellency."

Zeng Jiayi pulled Randy out of the palace, and Randy didn't understand what Zeng Jiayi was doing.

"Brother Lan, no, Duke Lan, congratulations."

"I'm about to be stripped of my title as a duke, what's the congratulations?"

"Won't it be okay if you pay the money?"

"Can you lend me 10,000,000 gold coins?"

"You see that my fathers are still there, and the Zeng family is not yet my turn to be the master, and my family doesn't have that much money."

"Can the court help me out?"

"That's impossible. But I can help you investigate all sorts of intelligence in Alaska, the Dark Federation's bid and the Lucia's bottom line, and try to cut down the amount of tribute. ”

"Can this still be bargained?"

"Why not? In the eyes of diplomats, there is nothing that cannot be negotiated. Nicholas II asks for a sky-high price, and it's normal for you to pay back the money on the spot, I think you can at least stop the waist with a 50% discount. ”

"Then thank you for negotiating for me."

"You have to find the negotiator yourself, as an official of the imperial court, I can't help you negotiate with a Duke of Lucia, otherwise you will be impeached.

Being able to provide you with some information is the limit of what I can do. At most, help you mediate and get your negotiators in touch with Giles' negotiating team. ”

Zeng Jiayi returned to the legation and prepared to visit the nobles and help Randy find out the news.

Randy summed it up, more than 1.7 million square kilometers of land, which is equivalent to the area of the Western Regions of Great Xia.

It's all barren land, in fact, 10 million gold coins is not expensive, and it is only a matter of time before you can find minerals underground.

What's more, there is at least fur income now, and Lucia's company loses money, which is Lucy Asia-Pacific's corruption, and if it is handed over to Erjin to operate, it will definitely be profitable.

What's more, the price of 10 million gold coins can be cut down significantly, which must be won.

Now we are facing two problems for the time being, one is to make money, and the other is to bargain with negotiators.

Randy remembered the Ili negotiations he had experienced, and the negotiations were protracted, so he had to find someone to bargain first, but the money was not busy.

Both Shi Yuan and Liu Ming are resourceful and can give ideas to the negotiation team. But with Liu Ming, Shi Yuan, the great sage, can't afford it.

But these two people have never been abroad, and they have ideas, and there is still a lack of someone who understands foreigners like Zeng Jiayi and confronts Lucia.

By the way, Senior Brother Shao Shan knows more about the world in New Francia, of course, he is also a great sage, and he is embarrassed to ask for it.

But the Nakahiro who followed him seemed to be quite able to ignore ...... That argument is quite powerful, you might as well ask and see if you can help yourself.

Randy immediately dialed Liu Ming, "I've figured out the situation on Lucia's side, and the land has been obtained, but I need to bargain and pay."

You ask Shi Yuan to help bring the horse back to Tanzhou, and wait for me at the Pujiang Hotel in Demon City, and we will meet and talk in detail. ”

Putting down the phone, Randy didn't immediately go to Leon to find Shao Shan, but took back Dian Wei and the two demonic beasts, lit up the city return charm, and with a whoosh, returned to Shi Lanchong.

Before he knew it, Randy had become a loser in Henry's mouth that often used teleportation arrays, teleportation charms, and return tickets.

Who made what Randy has done recently is too high-end, Duke Lucia, more than 1.7 million square kilometers of land, such a large transaction, it is really impossible to delay.

That's right, this duke is clearly a deal.

"Mother, how are you tidying up?"

"It's been packed up a long time ago, didn't you go to Tanzhou for two days? How do you go for four days? ”

"Well, Shi Yuan went to Anxiang County, I chased to Anxiang, and I stayed at Fort San Subertai for a long time just now, but it was morning there, and it was almost dark for us."

Lan's mother didn't know where St. Subetai Fort was, and it was far away when she heard the name, but her son was doing great things now, so it was good that she didn't cause trouble to her son.

Randy didn't even say that he was a duke now, the duke of the orcs, and the common people of Great Xia didn't recognize it very much, as if he was not as useful as his third-grade first-class light car captain.

"Lan Zuo, you go to the school again, ask Master Xu for a day off, let's go to Bern, and leave as soon as we finish dinner."

By the way, come back first, I will teach you and your mother how to locate the return to the city charm in Shilanchong, your mother will live for a while, and you will have to come back immediately to continue studying.

And will you use your magic phone? Let's have a call. ”

An hour later, at one o'clock in Bern time, in the new town on the right bank of the Aare River, in Randy's Manor, three white lights flashed, and Lanmu, Randy, and Lanzuo arrived.

"It's actually noon here, and Xu Fuzi said that the earth is round, and it's true."

Lan Zuo looked curiously at this place, which was completely different from Shi Lanchong's style.

At noon, the girls who were studying in the middle school next door had not left until they had gone back to the manor for dinner, and when they saw Randy appear, they all chattered and greeted them.

Lan Mu looked left and right, "This wall is all ours?" Well, there is not as much land as Lan Batian's house, but the house is much more beautiful than Lan Batian's dock fort.

How can there be so many beautiful girls? Randy, you are rich, and you raised so many aunts and wives at once?

Well, well, although I am a foreigner, as long as I can have more grandchildren. ”

"Mother, what are you guessing, they are all my revolutionary comrades, studying in the middle school next door."

"Randy, we all love you!"

Randy:......
