Chapter 50: Where Are the Monsters?
"You're back?"
Aipo sat alone on the throne, not knowing what he was thinking, until he saw the chief warrior who had entered the palace, and slowly came back to his senses.
"I'm back."
The Warrior Leader nodded lightly at Aipo, and handed him the flag and the agreement in his hand.
"What did the other party say? Do you want me to give up this throne, or do you want me to be his puppet, or do you make an annual offering? ”
Aipo didn't look at the agreement and the banner handed by the warrior commander, he closed his eyes slightly, and his hands kept caressing the throne under him, as if he wanted to make himself deeply remember the feeling of touching this seat, and as if he was parting with this throne.
"He said that in the future, he will protect our country, let us hang his banner, and become his vassals from now on."
The Warrior Commander repeated what Kaido had told him to the king in front of him.
"Hmm...... Just become affiliated? Understand, what about the conditions? How much money do we need to give him every year? ”
Listening to the words of the warrior chief, Aipo opened his eyes, and his eyes were once again full of light, and he became a subordinate, which was the best choice he had ever conceived.
"That's what he put forward."
The warrior leader looked at Aipo's regained appearance, sighed a little disappointed, and handed the agreement in his hand to the other party.
"So much?"
Ai Po looked at the thick agreement, his brows furrowed fiercely, he didn't expect that the other party needed them to let so many benefits.
"You'd better take a look at the content first!"
The warrior chief frowned and glared at him when he saw that Aipo didn't even look at it, he was completely disappointed in Aipo, but it couldn't be helped, maybe he would be locked up in a dungeon for a year, and it would become different from before.
"Hmmm......"
Aipo ignored the Warrior Chief's disappointed tone, none of this seemed important to him, what mattered was what he needed to give, and what he could get in the end.
"Fruit pre-emption?"
Aipo read out a few large words on the cover and gently flipped through the agreement in his hand.
"Hmm...... Is it the lowest price? This is not unacceptable, anyway, the highest price and the lowest price are not much different. ”
Aipo looked at the agreement in his hand, thinking about it, and whispered to himself.
"Huh? Will the Kingdom of Zuan buy all the fruits of the Frut Kingdom? Isn't that a joke? ”
When Ai Po saw this, his steady hands suddenly shook involuntarily.
Then Po looked through the agreement several times, and finally realized that he was not mistaken, and what he saw was indeed true.
"Does he really want to buy all the fruits of our country?"
Aipo gently placed the protocol in his hand at his side, and then forcibly suppressed his trembling body, so that his voice to ask the warrior commander did not sound so shaky.
"Yes, Your Majesty! What you see is real. ”
The warrior chief bowed respectfully to Epo, then nodded slightly.
"How many tons of fruit did we sell last year?"
Po gently cupped his forehead and asked.
"A total of 30,000 tons were sold."
The Warrior Commander introduced to Apo.
"How much fruit did we produce last year?"
Aipo continued to ask.
"We produce a total of 150,000 tons of fruit, of which a large number of fruits have not been picked from the fruit trees, and it is estimated that our total output can reach about 300,000 tons......"
Apoe took out a notebook from his bosom, which he had asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer for before he came.
"Three hundred thousand tons? How much is the lowest price of our fruits? ”
Aipo stood up with some excitement, his body shaking slightly, but his voice was full of energy.
"A ton of fruit is worth 10,000 baileys, those fruit merchants are too ruthless in lowering the price, and the lowest price we sell is 10,000 baileys a ton."
The Warrior Captain looked at his notebook and said truthfully.
"10,000 Baileys, if you sell 300,000 tons, then it is 300 million...... Hehehe...... That's three billion! ”
Apo made his way to his chair with a 'poof', his eyes stunned by the terrifying numbers.
With the current purchasing strength, there are too many things that are enough for 300 million to do.
"The king from Zaun, the king of Kaido, he is our benefactor!"
Ai Po muttered softly, and the corners of his mouth were already uncontrollably raised because of the joy in his heart.
"It's not the final number, the main thing is that if we grow these fruits aggressively and artificially breed them, we can double the production and we can produce 600,000 tons of fruit a year."
The commander of the warrior continued to take out a report given by the agricultural department, and the numbers on it were even more shocking, 600,000 tons of fruit, even if it was pulled by the ship, with the current shipbuilding technology, hundreds or even thousands of top cargo ships were needed, but all such ships were in the hands of the top forces.
The Warrior Commander only knows that there are two forces that can take out these ships, one is the true and only master of this world, the World Government! It is said that the world government has ships with a cargo capacity of tens of thousands of tons, which is a hundred years ahead of the world's science and technology!
The second is the king of the black market in the New World, the king of shipping, Umit! That guy has been in the New World maritime transportation business for generations, has a terrifying ship power, and can be said to be the person with the most ships on this sea.
"600,000 tons...... Six billion! ”
After hearing the words of the warrior chief, Ai Po sank to the bottom, it was not fruit at all, it was all money! It's all money that exudes a beautiful fragrance.
"How can the figure of 600,000 tons be transported?"
But the warrior chief's IQ is still online, and he shatters Poe's illusions.
"Transport...... No need to transport! ”
"What can be transported can be transported directly, and if it cannot be transported, it can be made into wine...... Canned food and a variety of fruit products ......"
Ai Po took out the agreement in his hand, he had read it many times, he had memorized all the contents of it, he pointed to one of them with his finger, and read it to the warrior chief.
"Open a factory?"
The Warrior Commander had only taken a cursory look at the agreement before, and had not paid attention to many places.
"That's right! And Kaido will also pay us additional fees for production rent, as well as labor costs. ”
Aipo's eyes were bloodshot and he stared at the agreement in his hand, as if he saw not the agreement, but countless bills.
"So what are you going to do, Your Majesty?"
When the Warrior Commander heard Apo's words, he knew that Kaido and the others had already thought everything through.
"Do you need to talk about that? Work according to this treaty! This is the great hero who saved this country to us...... Whether it's for the sake of this country or to repay our heroes, we have to keep this treaty abiding, don't we? ”
Aipo had already determined that he would carry out this treaty in accordance with his words, and from now on no one could let him cancel this treaty, not even his own father.
"What are we going to do next?"
The Warrior Commander continued.
"I'll bathe and change my clothes to meet His Majesty Kaido, and you go and prepare a banquet for me, and feast His Majesty Kaido and his warrior men!"
Aipo stood up and shook the thin yukata on his body slightly.
"Your Majesty, but with all due respect, aren't you afraid of monsters?"
The warrior chief knelt lightly and raised his head slightly to look at Aipo.
"Monsters? Where are the monsters? Don't talk nonsense......"
Aipo said as he walked briskly out of the palace.
