The original first heir to the Bourbon family was Clausa's brother Lucas, but since the Duke's family was in trouble in Faroucion a few years ago, even Clausa was suspended from his studies at the Academy of Magic in advance and went to Farousion to contribute to the family.

As a result, Kraussa was also a blockbuster in Farushion, because because of him, the Bourbons had almost the smallest loss among the three dukes, and Kraussa's name even entered the ears of the Titanian emperor Sauron.

Garon, the second prince of Titania, should be grateful to him, because it was Krausa who made the eldest prince Tristan suffer some losses in Faroucion, which made Tristan lose points in Sauron's heart, otherwise Tristan would have interfered in the matter of Fadel's plane a long time ago.

After the Battle of Farusion, Kraussa has been praised as a military genius by the nobles of the former ducal line, and with the speed of Solomon's rise, he could not get rid of him, and became a rising star of two different factions, so he became the first in line to the throne.

However, no one knew that these two rising stars had already played each other before they officially became famous, and it was still a big loss for Solomon, because he was cheated by Kraussa outside of the chess battle.

Kraussa originally intended that since he couldn't accept the other party as his junior brother, and he was very jealous of the other party's talent, he wanted to pit the other party to a place where birds don't, and wiped out the other party's chances.

It's just that I didn't expect that by mistake, Solomon unearthed the black rock in the primordial plane where other birds don't and used it successfully, allowing the magicians to restart the study of magic.

The complex relationship between the two is not necessarily clear to others. But Sizma is clearer. Because he participated in most of them. He was the executor of Krausa's intentions, including wanting to take Solomon on Clausa's behalf.

But the difference in his eyes when he looked at Solomon now was that he was not only afraid, but also a little more fearful.

In the past few years, he has followed Clausa around the county of Mystri, the stronghold of the Bourbon family, but of course he knows what Solomon has done, and looking back, he can only be shocked that Clausa was so prescient, but regret that although the original trap was successful, not only did it not achieve the intended effect. Instead, they pushed the other side, and the worse thing is that Solomon may have seen through the trap of the year, because there had been an attempt to track down the royal attendant whom they had bought off, but fortunately Klausa had made a timely move, first promising to help the squire live in seclusion under the noses of the Bourbons in Mistley, and then after a few years, tempting the squire to go to the battlefield of Faroucion to make a fortune.

In the end, of course, the squire had an order to go, but he didn't come back, and Kraussa didn't kill himself. It was just a dangerous but certainly potentially richer position for him, and then after he was killed by the Farusion rebels. And by the way, he just took over his property.

But the death of the squire only reduces the trouble and evidence on the surface, if Solomon already knows the truth and takes revenge, he may not necessarily need any evidence, maybe he does not dare to provoke Krausa, but Sizma may not be so optimistic, he is not the first or second in line to the Bourbon family.

However, his worries were obviously unfounded, and Solomon did not even look at him, because he had already exchanged views with Kraussa.

"Hello, Count Solomon, I am Clausa of the Bourbons. These knights and I have recently bought a little bit of your Fadell stock. The latest situation is that the Fadell Pioneer Company has made a lot of money by selling a lot of goods to the natives there, but as far as I know, the wealth in the hands of the aborigines that can be paid for in cash is about to be drained, including the purchase and sale of firecrackers, which are pledged by the power of mining. Although the recent World War I heard that the aborigines used the guns sold to them by the company caused huge losses to the Titanians, but in terms of the war as a whole, do you think that the aborigines have a chance to win, or that the Titania will lose?"

Kraussa's words immediately attracted a lot of people to come over, many of them have a little stock of Fadell Development Company in their hands, although the stock price has risen a lot now, but if it will fail in the end, it will make the most valuable trade franchise of Fadell Development Company in the future come to naught, although the company is making money at the moment, but a lot of money is invested in the Firecracker Workshop.

Solomon looked at each other, Clausa actually had a viscount now, which he obtained after the Battle of Faroucion, but Sir Clausa was far less loud and intimidating than his self-proclaimed "I am Clausa of the Bourbons".

"The indigenous people can't be victorious, but they don't need to be victorious. Because the purpose of selling the fire gun to them is only to need them to create enough damage and trouble for the Titanians. “

"But the natives don't have any silver, gold, or magic metal left, and if they lose the mine, they won't get anything. Kraussa sneered, "By that time, will the stocks in my hands turn into waste paper?"

"If you are worried, you can sell it at the current price. Solomon said lightly, "When I issued the shares of Fadell Pioneer Company, I had already announced and explained this risk, so I designed a system that can be bought and sold. ”

He turned to face the crowd, "Gentlemen, don't you think there's a pie falling from the sky?" Risks always coexist with opportunities, in the Fadel plane, our ultimate goal is very simple, is to give continuous support to the aborigines, so that the Titanians realize that without the help of our Asturias, their plans and development in Fadel will be difficult, and when they realize this and negotiate with us, and accept the open door policy, we will naturally ask the Titania to recognize the rights and interests formed by the current aborigines mortgage to us, and protect the interests of every shareholder, but this will take time and effort。 A large number of firecracker workshops have been set up for this purpose, and by delivering firecrackers through guò, we can help the indigenous people, so that Fadell can develop in the direction we want. ”

"But, Lord Count, if. . . Even the Titanians were willing to negotiate with us. When the time comes, the natives of Fadell. What should we do, if they accuse us of treachery, are we going to war with them like the Titanians?" humanitarian.

The others immediately stared at this gentleman with surprise and contempt, because his words were pedantic, and he was still worried about the issue of faithfulness, of course, it didn't mean that there was no such thing as faithfulness, but it was obvious that he should start from his own interests, didn't he?

"This gentleman. We are trading with the aborigines, one by one, we sell, they buy, of course, if they can afford it, let us help them directly resist the Titanians, it is not impossible to consider, but that must be agreed by His Majesty Edward. Until then, we were just selling to them. Now they don't have the cash to pay us, if once they fail. The rights mortgaged to us may not be recognized by the Titanians. So whether it's the Titanians winning, or the aborigines winning. Our primary priority is to ensure our own rights. ”

"Count Solomon, of course what you just said is right, so we absolutely don't owe those aborigines any promises, and there is no question of faith, this is the sale, they received the goods first, of course they have to pay, even if we do business with the Titanians, it doesn't mean that the things sold to them before don't have to pay the bill. ”

"But, Count Solomon, if you say this, the risk that Sir Kraussa said just now is still there, and if the Titanians ignore us, increase their military investment, and defeat the natives, we will have nothing to gain. ”

Solomon raised his hands and said, "Quiet." I don't want to explain the risks, the only thing I can point out is that I would never sell my shares, and I have some of my friends who are also firmly behind me. ”

In the midst of the noise, more and more people gathered around, and Lizi reluctantly walked away quietly, and then found a corner to sit down.

"Miss, may I sit down?" a gentle, beautiful male voice sounded, making Lizi slightly startled.

The visitor, a handsome young man, introduced himself: "I am Pomsois of the Rose Bank. ”

Solomon's words temporarily stabilized people's hearts, and the major shareholders did not sell their stocks, and others couldn't help but have a little more confidence in Solomon's explanation and plan, of course, in the end, it depends on how the situation develops later.

Klausa remained unavoidable, as if he didn't mind his blow being missed.

"Then I wish the Count that your plan will come true. Krausa smiled slightly, and then the corners of his mouth pursed into a proud arc, "But I have another good news, our Bourbon family has also invented a new plane that can carry out trade, Liguria, and has been registered with Sir Regina's treasury, and has proposed a plane trade franchise to His Majesty. ”

The crowd was full of expressions, and this must have been explosive news, and there were endless business opportunities here.

Solomon frowned slightly, today Krausa jumped out and tried to use the matter of the Fadell plane to attack himself, although it failed, and then announced that the Bourbon family had also discovered a unique plane that could be traded, and the purpose was related to the ongoing expansion of the council.

Edward expanded the Parliament to reduce the influence of the Dukes in the traditional aristocracy, but it was impossible for the Dukes not to fight back, and as long as they could buy hearts and minds in the expanded Parliament, that influence could still be maintained.

Now that the kingdom has united its forces, the struggle for power in the future will be largely between the parliament and the royal family, which is the tool that the traditional nobles were prepared to use to play with the royal power when they last succumbed to defend themselves against foreign enemies, because theoretically all military power is under the name of the kingdom, but the parliament has been expanded to contain the king.

According to the agreement reached between the traditional nobles and the royal family, Edward would govern the country by relying on a cabinet transformed from the Privy Council, and the parliament had the power to legislate, but the king had the power to dismiss the legislation, and also had the power to dissolve the parliament, but as a check on the king, if the parliament that was re-elected after the dissolution of the parliament still supported the previous legislation and resolutions, the king could not dismiss it.

Therefore, the royal family naturally hopes that the enlarged parliament will be as pluralistic as possible, so that the royal family will be more and more detached, and even make the parliament less restrained, and directly rely on the cabinet to control all the power of the kingdom, and the dukes will of course want to form an ironclad majority in the parliament, and then use this to protect their own rights and interests.

At this moment, someone suddenly walked in and squeezed to Solomon's side, but at this time, more people's interest shifted to Krausa, and they were all concerned about whether the trade of Liguria in the new plane could be mixed in in the future.

The visitor handed Solomon a note, and after Solomon opened it, his eyebrows twitched, and then a little smile appeared on his face, spreading like a ripple.

"What's wrong?" said Philip perceptively.

"Look at this. Solomon casually handed the news to Philip, and then turned his head to look for Lizi, "Lizi, I have something to leave. ”

Philip hurriedly read the note, and his face couldn't help but change.

This aroused the curiosity of some people, "Count Philip, what happened?"

Philip took a deep breath, "Sir Regina just conveyed the latest news, just now, the Titanian envoy arrived at the Perth Palace, and presented a credential to our country, asking us to stop selling muskets and bullets for muskets to the aborigines of Fadel, as well as other qiē that can help the trade of the aborigines, and then His Majesty refused!"

Everyone gasped and then commented.

"Wisdom is not more than Your Majesty, how can such a ridiculous request be granted. ”

"The Titanians were just too much. ”

"But, wait, will there be a war, I mean to reject them like this, will Titania be angry and fight with us?"

"What about Count Solomon?"

"Where are you going, Count Solomon?"

Solomon, who had already reached the door, stopped and waved his hand, "I'm sorry, guys, I missed first, because I have more important things to do." ”

Lizi, who had returned to the black carriage, had forgotten the handsome young man who had been talking happily just now, although the other party clearly looked interested in her.

She asked Solomon, a little nervously, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, but I just want to get out quickly. I'll send you back now. ”

"What about you?"

"Well, I might be going on a trip to Titania. Solomon said casually. (To be continued......)
