Gold is Justice

Hearing that the other party's words softened a little, as if she didn't want to continue to escalate the conflict, Ariel really breathed a long sigh of relief secretly.

At the moment, she also nodded, and the smile on her face was not as weird and tense as before. Instead, she said with a faint smile: "Since that's the case, of course we can continue to negotiate. The desire for peace will always exist between us. "

Now that the excitement on both sides has eased a little, everyone on the platform is now looking a little more relaxed.

At this time, the snowflakes in the air had stopped at some point, but the night wind began to blow.Fortunately, blankets were prepared on the seats in advance, and everyone wrapped them up one after another, and then continued.

Ariel said, "It's unrealistic to give you an ice-free port and open a trade channel completely under your control. Let's discuss a more realistic plan."

After a pause, Ariel continued to say——

"The reason why you want an ice-free port is that you can imagine that your gross domestic product is already in surplus. If you rely purely on land transportation, you can only transport it to a few neighboring countries, and the profits will not increase. That's why you want to use our blue The outlet of the Gulf Empire, spreading trade to more places."

"Then, under the circumstances that we can't give you an ice-free port, we, Blue Bay, can consider fully reducing the tariffs on goods imported from your Murderer Empire." At this time, another Murderer bureaucrat on the opposite side snorted, Said: "At the beginning of last year, we raised tariffs for us, and now you want to show your 'sincerity' by reducing tariffs? You also said that our return of the territory is a prerequisite for negotiations, so why don't you say that you are exempting all unreasonable tariffs? The premise of our negotiation?"

After the bureaucrat finished speaking, Willie stretched out his hand, pretending to stop his colleague from talking.He looked towards Ariel, and said slowly: "Please forgive my colleague's 'bad words'. Then...how do you think about this?"

tariff.

This issue can be said to be the top priority of this mission.

Before coming to the Hunting Seat Empire, Ariel of course also learned about the customs policy of the Blue Bay Empire.Indeed, at the beginning of last year, the regent, who is now the emperor, announced many customs decrees in one go.

why?

Of course it is because of money!

The economic situation of the Blue Bay Empire can be seen from the continuous acceleration of tax collection, collection of supplies, abolition of guilds, development of elemental machines and other actions in recent years. It can be seen that the current Emperor of Blue Bay is already very clear about the capital income of the empire. situation of distress.

To keep this empire going, the entire empire must find a way to earn a lot of money!Otherwise, with the continuous deficit of finances, I believe that the inflection point that accumulates and accumulates will soon come.

Therefore, the emperor Menglang announced many decrees to make money when he was still the regent.The most influential thing on Ariel's side is the policy of destroying the Adventurer's Guild and letting the local army completely take over local affairs that the emperor has always talked about.

This situation is both good and bad for Ariel.

Because of the tight financial situation, Ariel was able to see that the emperor couldn't wait to encourage the development of the elemental machine project. For this reason, he did not hesitate to offend the Holy See organization and the Association of Magicians in the empire.It even took the brains to cut off the financial allocations of these two huge organizations.In terms of supporting the element machine, Ariel undoubtedly supports the emperor Menglang.

But also because of financial constraints, many policies of the emperor will also affect the income of the guild, and even increase tariffs, which indirectly leads to the need to spend more money and pay more to buy the best weapons or armor. Only the tax money can buy the excellent weapons made by the Hunting Seat Empire.In this regard, it is difficult for Ariel to stand on the side of the fierce waves.

Similarly, for the tariff proposed by the hunter, the reduction and exemption of tariffs will naturally make the trade between the two parties more frequent, but there is a problem in front of the emperor of Lanwan.

That is, for the Blue Bay Empire, each territory in the country is actually distributed to various noble lords.

If the trade is more frequent, then those lords who are more willing to trade with the Hunter must be the ones who will benefit.Although part of the funds obtained by their transactions can also be obtained through taxation, the local nobles and lords have thousands of ways to avoid and evade taxes.

Under such circumstances, it is really unlikely that the Emperor Menglang would be exempted from this tariff in one fell swoop...

"call……"

Ariel took a deep breath and said slowly——

"I believe that our eldest princess, Her Royal Highness, will definitely be willing to persuade her elder brother, our honorable Emperor Lanwan, about the friendly exchanges between us and the Murderous Seat Empire. It is not impossible to reduce or exempt customs duties, but Obviously, there needs to be some deeper communication between us."



The first thousand and 350 chapters and three links to each other

Ariel opened a file in front of her, opened it, looked at the notes she had made in it, and continued: "If tariffs are exempted, are you willing to further purchase goods from the Blue Bay Empire? Our fish catches and All kinds of aquatic products and processed products. If you are willing to increase your purchases, then of course we can persuade His Majesty the Emperor to reduce or exempt taxes."

Obviously, it is impossible to impress the other party with such conditions alone.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Ariel continued: "Besides, the issue of the ice-free port that you are most concerned about. As I said just now, the essential reason is economic issues. Then, we also said that we can sign a A tripartite procurement agreement."

Willie bureaucrat frowned: "How to say?"

Ariel nodded and continued: "It's very simple. Don't you want the ice-free port just to sell the goods? Then, you just need to come to our Blue Bay Empire with the contract with the buyer, and then you will sell the goods. Ship it to the border between us, and we will help you transport it to the port for the next trip, and then we, Blue Bay Empire, will help you pass through the customs. We only charge a small service fee during the whole process."

"In this way, you can save a large amount of shipping costs and the extra cost of sea freight because you are not used to it and are not familiar with it. Your buyers can also use our Blue Bay Empire, a more professional seaport operation intermediary, to handle sea freight. Incident. During the whole process, our Blue Bay Empire can also get a small service fee. Obviously, this is something that all three of us can benefit from, isn't it good?"

Willy bureaucrat: "That sounds nice. I'm afraid the price of your service fee is not small?"

After thinking for a while, Ariel said slowly: "We can provide a detailed list of transportation costs, and you can also go to investigate. If there are any unreasonably high prices, you can settle the account with us. After removing the cost, go up to About ten percent. Believe me, if you want to maintain the trade channel you got from us, you will need to spend far more than this figure."

Lanwen Network (LANWENS.COM)

Obviously, the plan proposed by Ariel is indeed a proposal that benefits both of them.

The Willy bureaucrats over there were obviously a little surprised by this proposal, and at the same time they all turned their heads to look at the queen sitting on the lord's seat.

Her Majesty the Empress also seemed not to have expected that there would be a real person who came to "negotiate business" among the envoys.As an empress, she needs to control her own territory, and also needs to control the hearts of the people here.If there is a way to obtain the desired benefits at a relatively small cost, then this method is certainly worth a try.

On the dark and windy platform this month, the empress frowned and began to think carefully.

Just when she finished thinking, she opened her mouth and was about to speak...

"Ouch~~~ A three-party contract? An intermediary? This elder sister of Lanwan really played a good hand~~~"

this sound?

Although Ariel was very sure that she definitely knew this woman's voice, but now this voice sounded like a complete stranger!

At that moment, all the people present immediately turned their heads, and all looked in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw a girl in loose clothes, as if she was about to fall off anytime, anywhere. She was leaning on the arm of the bard, and the two walked slowly towards this side as if they were very familiar.

And that elf, although his face looked a little embarrassed now, he didn't show much dislike for the intimate action of the girl next to him, but when he saw the eyes of Ariel and others looking at him, he showed a little bit of disgust. embarrassment.

In this way, she walked towards this side slowly.

As she walked, her eyes swept over everyone present.

Inadvertently, a red tail with a little white hair on the tip came out from behind her, trembling and swaying with her footsteps.It made her look even more charming, as if just looking at her eyes could make any man who met her eyes fall in love.

Unfortunately, Ariel is not a man.

"A simple contract seems to be beneficial to both of us. For our Hunting Seat Empire, it can directly expand trade routes and obtain new economic income. Then~~~"

When she came to the center of the platform, Sevia let go of Yigo's hand, walked slowly to the side of the queen, turned around on the spot beside her seat, and saluted the queen slowly.

After seeing the prime minister's wife coming here, the queen's face became much more refreshed.She nodded slightly in agreement.

Sevia smiled slightly, got up, she turned back, gently hugged the red tail with white tip on her back, stroked the hair on it, and looked at the Blue Bay Mission with winking eyes, and continued ——

"Your Blue Bay Empire can also get an extra income. Both sides can make money, and the relationship between our two countries can also improve, and even develop more cooperation projects, laying a solid foundation for more friendly relations in the future Base."

The prime minister's wife twisted her buttocks and let go of the tail in her hand. The tail seemed to sway backwards with great elasticity——

"It was said before that there are no practical groups in the Blue Bay Empire. They are all lice who only think about living in that huge empire. They only know how to suck blood, and they don't think about the fact that they will have no more blood after the collapse of the empire. Suck."

"But now it seems that your newly appointed emperor is still a bit of a level~~~ He actually started to really want to engage in economics."

Apart from Ariel, Cream was the only person who had seen Sevia.Ariel turned her head slightly now, and said softly to Cream: "This person... is really Sevia... is that Tesla's elementary school girl?"

The corner of Cream's mouth also twitched, and his eyes fell on Sevia's thighs protruding from under the skirt, on the clothes that were about to slip off her shoulders, and looked at her short little dress. The shirt revealed that the white and smooth abdomen and navel showed an extremely healthy color under the light of the surrounding fire.

Seeing all this, even the assassin couldn't help but wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with trepidation: "She...she is indeed Sevia...but...it seems like a completely different person ...? This is terrible... really terrible..."

On the other side, Egg silently sat down at the end of the Blue Bay Mission, next to Jelly.At this time, a Lanwan official next to him immediately looked at him with resentment on his face, and said softly: "How can you come in arm in arm with a woman from the enemy country?"

After being scolded like this, Yi Ge was taken aback for a moment, and seemed to have no thought of what to say in response, so he could only lower his head.Afterwards, he looked at Jelly next to him, but the boy kept his head down, as if he didn't want to take care of things and didn't dare to speak.

At this time, Ariel took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at the last member of the origin guild who had completely integrated into the "Red Fox" clan, and said slowly: "Listen to Ms. Red Fox's words, for this Blue Bay Empire The proposal seems interesting."

Sevia chuckled, and her eyes fell on Ariel's face.

At this moment, Ariel suddenly realized that this woman was observing her now.She... She seemed to be looking at something very interesting, looking up and down at herself!

"Ouch~~~Sister, of course I am interested~~~This world is so big, there are many things I am interested in~~~"

After finishing speaking, she left the side of the queen's seat and walked towards the bureaucrats of the killer seat.Then he directly sat down on Willy's table, not paying any attention to the bureaucrat behind him whose face had changed, and continued to say——

"But this sister, um... your name is Ariel, Ariel Garcia, right? Hee hee, Elder Sister Siren Doll, can I call you that?"

Ariel's complexion didn't change much, because the Blue Bay bureaucrat next to her wouldn't just allow the other party to insult her main negotiator.

"Madam, please show some respect. What's more, with your current posture, you really can't tell how good your Killer Seat Empire is."

On the side of the murderous seat, Willy bureaucrat quickly walked around from behind Sevia's buttocks, exposed his head, and said: "In our murderous seat, there are a lot of orcs. Therefore, calling each other by the orc race is nothing Disrespectful thing!"

Even so, looking at Willy's expression, he is obviously not very happy with Selvia's current performance, but because of the faction problem, so now he must help Sevilla smooth things over.

In this regard, Sevia chuckled, still sat on the table with a big thorn, crossed her legs, and said with a smile on her face——

"So, sister mermaid, is it okay to call you that? Sister mermaid, before we see such a beautiful business cooperation, I just want to ask one question."

As she spoke, she turned her palm towards Ariel, tapped Ariel slightly with her index finger, and said with a smile——

"If our cooperation is so interesting and win-win, then may I ask, why didn't the Blue Bay Empire think of cooperating with us before? Why did you wait until our army started attacking you before you thought about cooperating with us?" Woolen cloth?"

Before Ariel could speak, the woman from the red fox family suddenly crossed her arms and said with a look of sudden realization——

"Oh~~~I see. So it's because we didn't have a good relationship with each other before, so you don't want to make money with us? Then the problem comes again. Since the relationship was not good before, our relationship is very good now Is it? If it's not very good..."

Sevia smiled sweetly, and this smile instantly made Ariel feel as if something wonderful was blooming in this world——

"Once you hold the diplomatic and trade artery of our Predator Empire, let it go for a few years, and wait until we are deeply dependent on this trade route, and then threaten our country by cutting off the trade route, what do you think we are good for?" Method, can I deal with you?"

This question is actually not difficult to guess.

If the trade routes of inland countries are to be developed, there is no doubt that they must pass through other countries.In this way, how many trade routes are equal to how many lifelines are choked.

When Ariel made this request, she had long thought that the other party would raise this question, and at the same time realized that the two sides were very likely to have a large-scale argument on this issue.

In fact, being able to argue on this issue itself is already Ariel's main plan.

There are many contradictions between the two countries now, and it is impossible to completely resolve them within a short while.The Blue Bay mission came to the Hunting Seat Empire this time. According to the idea of ​​the emperor Menglang, it should be to ask why the other party attacked him, and at the same time hope to reach a short-term peace.But how to achieve it, the emperor himself may not have much certainty.

So to put it bluntly, the mission this time is here to watch the wind.

Well, since the two sides have a lot of issues in old cases that need to be clarified, instead of spending a lot of time on these matters, it is better to try to shift the topic to issues on which consensus can be reached.

And the trade issue is the issue Ariel listed.

Now, the focus of the negotiations between the two sides has shifted from the border dispute to the trade issue. No matter how much conflict there is between the two sides on the trade issue, since trade is involved, it is naturally about "money".

In this world there may be individuals who do not love money, but there is absolutely no country that does not love money.

Every country will worry about its own economic situation, and they all hope to try their best to find a way to generate income.

Under such circumstances, it is definitely an important step for the two parties to contact each other and reach the first stage of reconciliation for both Lanwan and Hunter to sit down and discuss how to make money together!

and so……
