Luo Qianrou looked at Leng Xiyue as if asking, and Leng Xiyue nodded.

In this kind of diplomatic meeting, it is best for the two sides to keep the same number of people even if they are talking, and now Tiandou is on the side of the Snow Night Emperor, Xue Qinghe, and Xue Xing, the three members of the royal family, and on her side is herself, Nishiju Miho and Tianmeng, which is just more symmetrical and can arrange seats reasonably.

However, Ning Fengzhi is obviously not because of the seat, after all, 4v4 is not impossible to arrange, it is obvious that the Snow Night Emperor wants to use this meeting to talk to her about some more important things, even Ning Fengzhi had better not know.

In the huge conference room, there were only six people left at this time, and Xue Ye didn't say anything polite, and the two sides sat directly at both ends of the conference table.

[In view of the general environment,

Leng Xiyue noticed that Xue Ye's originally kind face was a little more solemn at this time, and her eyes stayed on Leng Xiyue's body, as if she wanted to see something from this young monarch that only young people have, but unfortunately, he failed.

Arrogant, cowardly, cowardly, rude, arrogant, if he could achieve such an achievement at such a young age, Xue Ye would definitely be proud of it, and might even be lost in this great achievement. But it's a pity that none of these can be seen on Leng Xiyue, who has always been dignified and polite but not losing his majesty, and he has no inferiority complex for himself, the ruler of the thousand-year-old empire, as if this is an ordinary thing.

After a long time, Xue Ye spoke: "Young Emperor, I know that your friendship with our Tiandou is actually only superficial, because our contradictions have been difficult to reconcile since the establishment of your empire, although your attitude towards ordinary people is very enviable, and it is an extremely bold attempt, but I have to say that this kind of problem that originates from the foundation of the two empires is extremely difficult to solve, no matter how high-sounding you say it on the surface."

Leng Xiyue thought that this meeting might talk about something not very friendly, but this remark was undoubtedly to the point, directly seeing through the fundamental contradiction in the superficial friendship between the two countries - class struggle.

As the so-called side of the couch does not allow others to snore, with the pearl jade of the Kyushu Empire in front, many ordinary people in the Heaven Dou Empire have begun to wait for the opportunity to drag their families and run away, and the nobles are trying their best to prevent this behavior, because they need these mules and horses to protect themselves and work for themselves, so they have to improve the treatment of ordinary people.

Probably from a beggar who can only ensure enough to eat, to an ordinary pariah who can have a few complete clothes to wear.

On the other hand, the propaganda of the Kyushu Empire is getting higher and higher, and because the Northland is vast and sparsely populated, even if it shelters a few more million people, it is estimated that it is a matter of building a few more cities in suitable places.

These mules and horses who successfully made it to the Northern Empire, after being educated to become humans, have the same hatred as most of the natives of the Northlands, that is, hatred of the nobility.

Under the influence of this trend of thought, although on the surface the Kyushu Empire is still vigorously exporting armaments and weapons to Tiandou, hiding hidden dangers under false friendship, people like Xue Ye, who have been emperors for decades and are well versed in power and strategy, quickly perceive the essence hidden under prosperity.

….

But is there anything he can do to stop it? No, because Tiandou's policy towards the lower class of ordinary people is like this, and now just by promoting them from mules and horses to pariahs, the tax revenue has already weakened a lot.

It doesn't seem like much of an improvement, but it can be extended to the level of the entire empire, giving an extra steamed bun every day is a huge expense, and the more resources the nobles spend on the commoners, the fewer troops they can hand over to the empire or arm themselves to be conscripted into the battlefield by the empire in wartime.

In Xue Ye's opinion, if with his character, he is actually very willing to see the treatment of ordinary people improved, but as an emperor, he can only assist the nobles to enslave ordinary people.

Even so, with the propaganda of the Kyushu Empire, such treatment is obviously becoming more and more insufficient, Xue Ye knows very well that with the blessing of guns, the combat effectiveness of these ordinary people is not lower than that of the Soul Venerable Soul Sect, and the elite can even be compared with the Soul King Soul Emperor, the more homeless people in Tiandou, the stronger the national strength of the Kyushu Empire, which he never wants to see.

Hearing the extremely oppressive words of the Snowy Night Emperor, Leng Xiyue did not have the slightest fluctuation, and was straightforward

After admitting it, he asked rhetorically, "Yes, I don't deny that I'm advocating such a thing, but the solution to this problem is simple, isn't it?"

Is it simple?

Very simple!

If you put the benefits of the civilian class status of farmers, ordinary workers, and military households, not to mention the same as the high welfare benefits of the Kyushu Empire, even if it is increased to half and ensure a simple food, clothing, and shelter, then who is willing to leave their homeland and go to another unknown land?

But can it be done?

No!

Improving the treatment of farmers is easy to say, but who will do it? Royal house? How can the royal family afford the expenses of the empire as a whole?

Can it be left to the local king, the local gentry, or the governor? How could they be willing to cede their interests to civilians? Instead of giving favors, it is better to organize a general meeting and publicly kill dozens or hundreds of 'mobs', and this group of people will be honest.

In this environment, the aristocracy brutally suppressed, killing one person will cause the whole family and clan to revolt, the original Shunmin after the brothers, wives and children were brutally suppressed, but they will have a heart of resistance, with the sale of firearms in the Kyushu Empire, the folk blacksmith can also imitate an extremely rough smoothbore gun.

But as a gun that can shoot, it is not a small threat to the soul master team raised by the local gentry, after all, it is generally the local nobles who are armed, that is, the great soul master soul venerable and the like.

If there is no weapon, the nobles who have the soul master in their hands can naturally be easily suppressed, which is why no one resisted before, but now that he can resist, he can often hear the news of the mob gathering to rebel.

Seeing that Leng Xiyue did not deny this and did not give in, the Snow Night Emperor knew that there was no point in dwelling on this issue.

There are three options in front of him.

First, endure humiliation, maintain friendship, and form an alliance as much as possible against the Wuhun Palace.

Second, to expel the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce and the diplomatic corps to prevent them from causing trouble, so as to restore order to the empire.

Third, directly let people take Leng Xiyue here, and then start a war.

If you choose two, then there is no doubt that this will completely offend the Kyushu Empire, and it will never be possible to reach friendship again, their infiltration activities will go underground, and they will be more unscrupulous to make a large number of sophisticated weapons flow into the people, and it is even possible to seize the time when Tiandou is relatively weak to find a reason to go to war directly.

Yehua's heart is clear
