Chapter 46 Who is for and against
"Of course."
"Oh, that's interesting, as far as I know, it's still me who supplies the military at this stage, and the Francis family hasn't started to supply the military yet, so how can you be sure that when their family supplies it, the price will be what you say?"
"Do you need to talk about this?"
One of them sneered.
"You rely on your own extraordinary ability to reduce costs, and his Francis family doesn't have similar abilities."
"Oh, in other words, if the Francis family still sells a box lunch for ten silver dollars a box, does it mean that there is no problem with this box lunch?"
"That's natural, if he is still willing to sell it for ten silver dollars, we are naturally willing to give up the prosecution."
One of the merchants froze slightly, and his tone quickly softened.
"King, in the final analysis, we just hope that the laws of the border kingdom are clear, only in this way can people feel fair, if they can still do ten silver dollars a box, we are willing to apologize, but this premise is that Your Excellency Copper Coin cannot participate in it and complete the most critical part, otherwise this is just a compensation measure after the loophole is discovered."
"That's right, the law is a weapon to maintain the stability of the empire, and if you can bring it up when you encounter problems, it proves your loyalty, then, copper coin boy.."
King Caesar turned his head to look at Fugui and Francis' father.
"Do you think there is a problem with such a request?"
"I.."
Trent Francis couldn't help but scold his mother in his heart, he didn't mention his daughter at all, and took it out at the beginning, but he soon calmed down, although the third princess was just taken lightly, but this copper coin is still here.
If he doesn't help himself, he won't be able to run away, and he is so confident that there is a way to think about it.
"I agree."
After a moment of silence, he nodded in agreement, and at the same time couldn't help but be glad that he had just thrown his waste son out of the car, otherwise he would probably not be able to scold now.
"I agree."
Fugui looked at the people with a smile, and then at Trent Francis, the first family to jump out and copy his boxed lunch, theoretically his enemies.
However, just like he said to the black girl, children only talk about right and wrong, adults pay attention to interests, at this moment, the natural position of the problem, so that he must stand with the Francis family.
And this old guy didn't disappoint him, I think he figured out the point of view, he can be pitted by anyone, but he can't pit me 'copper coin' himself..
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, has something to say."
"Say."
The king looked at the nobleman again, with a playful smile on his face, and it was evident that he also knew that it was impossible for these old greedy people to let go of their mouths so easily.
"What Your Majesty wants to say is that there is no crime, and the after-the-fact remedy of the crime are two different things, if Your Excellency and Patriarch Francis did not make a mistake, it means that they have actually found a way to solve the cost, and they want to wait until their alchemy laboratory is built, and that method can be used, I think, this time, should not be very long."
"On the other hand, if a solution is found after months or even years, it proves that they know the law and break the law, and if people make mistakes, they will be punished, and they will not be exempt from punishment just because you have time to remedy it."
"King, I think this. . . Well.. What do you call it? ”
"Victor."
On the side, the third princess spoke.
"Mr. Victor is right, and if we don't provide a solution immediately after the deal is made, it will prove that we have broken the law."
"Huh?"
The saying of wealth and nobility will not be able to be rectified directly to these people, and even the third princess can't help but look at him with wide eyes, but it is Trent Francis, whose face is free, as if everything is under control.
"But..."
However, soon, Fugui's voice changed.
"This one also admitted, and before the deal between us was reached, he couldn't help but jump out and sue the king, saying that we broke the law, I don't care, and there is no glory for the commoners."
"But the Francis family is still a well-known nobleman in the border kingdom, and if this news spreads, the blow to the glory of the Francis family is fatal, you say yes, old man."
"The king, and his subordinates, also feel very wronged, and slander their subordinates with things that have not yet happened, or even cannot happen."
After a moment of silence, Trent Francis bowed, since he chose to believe the man in front of him, he also let it go, after all, this is about the only way for him at the moment.
Of course, even if he loses, as a trader, he can't afford to pay a sum of money, counting the alchemy laboratory, it is certain that he will break his muscles and bones, but he can't kill the Francis family.
After all, he still has the biggest hole card in his hand, which is the route that can lead to the depths of the Char steppe, since the king is unkind and does not use his own daughter as a shield, but he can't blame him for smuggling goods to that side...
"This is not something that can be taken for the sake of the country."
"That's right."
King Caesar nodded.
"It's true that the deal isn't done yet, and if you can prove your innocence, then they're falsely accused, falsely accused..."
"Pan Deli, according to the laws of my border kingdom, how should I be punished?"
"Father, Border Kingdom Code, Article 113, fabricating facts to falsely accuse and frame others, with the intention of subjecting others to the law, shall be subject to the equivalent punishment of false accusation, and shall compensate them for the losses suffered by the false accusation, and if the false accusation is made by a nobleman, the punishment shall be increased, and the compensation shall be increased."
"Hmm... Victor, although you have the heart to think about the country, but the other party sued before the deal was reached, and there is indeed a suspicion of false accusation, if it is verified, I will also punish the four of you, no problem. ”
"We... No. ”
Victor shook his head, they had actually considered various possibilities before coming, and they had already determined that the other party was indeed selling the contract, so they dared to jump out at this most uncomfortable moment for the other party.
In their opinion, this kind of delay is meaningless, after all, if there were really alchemists in the border kingdom who can squeeze the cost so much, it is estimated that they would have been unable to resist jumping out and selling boxed lunches themselves.
"Okay."
King Caesar nodded.
"Francis."
"Your Majesty is here."
"How long will it take to finish that alchemy workshop?"
"And. Half a month. ”
"Okay, then half a month, half a month later, I will judge by the outcome of the matter, if you can still sell boxed lunches at a cost of ten yuan without losing money, it will prove that you are innocent, otherwise, the four of them are false accusations, after I finish speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"
