20. The Spirit of Phaea (Part II)
"It's druid technology, but it's still different from human druids, does Mr. Minister also understand druids?"
"A little bit of a bit, but I didn't see the druid's altar. β
"The elves relied on the World Tree and did not need an altar, and, mainly in agriculture, improved seeds, suppressed pests and diseases to increase yields, and did not have much murderous technology. β
"The druids should take this path, the human druids have actually gone astray because of their combat functions, but you have preserved the pure druid technology here, can you buy seeds from you and learn your advanced agricultural technology?" Wang Qinian said.
Hilarily thought for a moment and said, "You can do this, but we don't have many seed cultures, and we can only provide a small number of seeds. β
"Let's go another way, the state outside the forest, open up farmland, as a base and model field for improved seeds, you druids to cultivate here, of course, the work they do is instructive work, they are not required to work personally, the state pays a high salary, and the state is responsible for the safety work, do you think this is okay?" Wang Qinian asked.
Wang Qinian's conditions are very rich, knowing that the elves do not want humans to come to Fia, so he proposed this plan, of course, there is selfishness, he will send a certain number of magic apprentices to follow the elf druids to learn, the druid technology is equivalent to the technology of all aspects of agriculture in the previous life, after learning, these apprentices will become experts in this area in the future.
"You want to learn the techniques of the druids?" asked Hilarili, looking at Wang Qinian.
"Not bad. A technology is worth promoting, now the country is actually very rich, the people will not lack food and clothing, but we cannot but develop advanced agricultural technology, now the population is very small, even extensive agricultural cultivation can feed them, plus a large amount of imported grain, as if agriculture is not important, but do not forget that agriculture is the foundation of a country. The population of the country will increase in the future. I will not allow the situation of self-sufficiency in food, and the lifeblood of the country in the hands of others. Wang Qinian did not deny it. Instead, he said something.
"You're very honest. It's no wonder you can be a lich. Created a country like no other, the World Tree is very kind of praise to you, and I agree with you to mention yΓ¬. β
Wang Qinian didn't make much effort. A condition that the elf queen agreed, Wang Qinian thanked him with a smile, Heloise didn't expect that her mother actually agreed to his request under Wang Qinian's clever tongue, she snorted, and Biqier and the other guards didn't expect that this was the elf who was usually rumored to be arrogant.
"Your Excellency, the elves of Fia have been in the eyes of the Ian Kingdom since today, but can you guarantee the safety of the elves?"
Of course, Wang Qinian knew why she asked this, in fact, there are a small number of elves walking in the world, they belong to the wandering group, and they don't talk about their origins, among human beings, especially some nobles have special habits, often flock to elf slaves.
"In the country of Ian, the law will severely crack down on those who sell elves, and I can guarantee that if this kind of thing happens, we will investigate it to the end, and even internationally we can help you rescue the slaves of the elves, but there is one thing, if the elves are in a normal relationship with humans, you should not interfere. Wang Qinian thought for a while and said that he knew that the country would have to pay a lot for his promise, but a country could not guarantee its citizens, and the country would also be abandoned by its people.
"I believe you when you say that. This time Hilarily was very direct and didn't say it tactfully.
"It's not to believe, but after we talk, this qiΔ will fall on the text, the two of us are only responsible for the general outline of the problem, and the specific issues are the experts I brought to discuss with you and come up with detailed plans, these are all important information for a country, and there are no rules and no rules. Wang Qinian said.
"Good one is not a rule, you are not a wise man, you do things without leakage, please!" Hillariel did not arrive at her palace, made a gesture of please, Wang Qinian turned around, and said to the guard: "You are here, Bichel, you and the experts enter with me, the following is the hard work of the experts, you also heard the conversation between me and the queen just now." β
Bichel and the experts bowed: "Hear me clearly, Your Excellency, we will do the rest, and make sure that it is beautiful." β
Hilarily also turned around and said to the stunned elders, "You have also heard clearly, and we will discuss with you the distinguished guests on the issues we have discussed above, and come up with a plan as much as possible." β
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen. The elder also bowed back, Wang Qinian's eyes showed a hint of cunning, although the elves have a long history, but this kind of posture is the first time, after all, they have existed in the form of a tribe for many years, that is, Geling's elves, and they have not gone through this kind of posture, usually the queen has the final say, this time they also thought so, but Wang Qinian played such a set, and it seems to be so fair, Wang Qinian had already told them before he came, so Wang Qinian came prepared, and the elves were in a hurry, although Hila Ruili looked calmγ
Wang Qinian smiled: "Not only what we just said, but in fact everything can be brought to the table to discuss, many times, people do not understand each other, often talk about things, you can avoid many misunderstandings, not afraid of different opinions, afraid of not knowing each other." β
Hilarily nodded: "Mr. Minister is right, instead of hiding it, it is better to talk openly." β
Inside, although it is a royal palace, it is very exquisite, but it is not luxurious, it is divided into two floors, after all, it is built on several large trees, so the space is relatively compact.
The negotiators have already sat down, this is the first time in the world, there is not even a negotiation room in the elves' Fia City, after all, they didn't expect Wang Qinian to make this move, it is reasonable, so the negotiation room was made on the first floor of the palace, and a maid poured tea.
Hilarily took Wang Qinian to the second floor, Xiaoshuang sat on Wang Qinian's shoulders, and at the same time Jiawa came up, and on the elf's side, except for Hilarily, the person who came up was Heroise, and Heroise stared at Wang Qinian: "What tricks are you playing?"
Wang Qinian smiled: "I am exposed to the sun in everything I do, everyone can see it, what conspiracy there is, it's just a conspiracy." β
"Heloise, don't talk too much. Hilarily reprimanded, looking back at Wang Qinian apologetically, "Mr. Minister, Heloise is very young, and she hasn't happened for a while, please bear with me." β
"It doesn't matter, she is also good for the elves, but she has too little knowledge and doesn't know the outside world, a nation, not only needs to be self-improving, but also to open her eyes and look at the outside world, only if she has enough strength can she deter the coveting eyes outside. Wang Qinian smiled disappreciably.
"A lich with such a good heart!" Heloise muttered quietly, she thought Wang Qinian couldn't hear it, Wang Qinian smiled at him, didn't speak, he knew in his heart that if the elves were all Heloise's kind of knowledge, there was no need for him not to come here, the elves had long been reduced to playthings, but obviously not, the Hilarily in front of her was an example, although the elves did not have much contact with the world, but she was very experienced in handling things, even if Wang Qinian played tricks, using that kind of seemingly negotiation technique, to make up for his shortcomings with experts, but he didn't dare to despise her, from the point that she did not despise or prejudice the lich, it was not simpleγ
"Mr. Minister, your wisdom is like the sea, the information I got from the sacred tree, you have been to Geling, and have dealt with many elven tribes, with your wisdom, how do you look at the elves?" Hilarily asked, she also heard Heloise muttering, she glared at Heloise, she found that Heloise still had too many things to learn and experience, she couldn't help but wonder if she was sent to go over to practice, the purpose of her asking this was also a little to wake up Heloise.
Wang Qinian groaned slightly and said, "I first saw the division of the elves at the elves of the Neabus Forest. Queen Radriel made a difficult decision, a group of elves moved north to Iceland, out of the shelter of the sacred tree, and faced the challenges of nature and humans alone, they were very brave, Queen Radriel told me that it was not the first time they had split, and the dark elves had also split from them, and I knew that the elves were not a conservative race, but constantly making adjustments, so I think the elves deserve to be an ancient race. β
"What you said, I know, there is a connection between the elven sacred trees, and in your words, they form a network with each other, and they know each other's news. Ge Ling is the ancestral land of the elves, and it is the most traditional one, and the other elves are separated from Ge Ling, but even Ge Ling is not conservative, so we joined the country of Yi'an, but we have to maintain our certain traditions. β
"Of course, even if you don't want to keep the tradition, I have to advise you to keep it, but at the same time, you have to communicate with the world, between intelligent beings, there is some goodwill, you have grasped it, if you can get it at the lowest cost, of course, you don't have to spend time to get it, now we are a family. Wang Qinian said with a smile.
"Yes, we are family, I have a request, can you go back and take Heloise with you? β
"What?" Wang Qinian cried, and so did Heloise.
Wang Qinian was surprised, but in a blink of an eye, he understood that this was Hilarily's experience with Heroise, and it seemed that Hilarily still had selfish intentions and wanted to cultivate Heroise as an heir.
Hilarily ignored Heloise's pleas and said to Wang Qinian: "Let her go out to see the world, I heard that the city of Ian in the country is very prosperous, let her open her eyes, last time Dr. Jessica said, I should be the national representative, that is, the councillor, I don't have time to go, let Heroise replace me."
