[Devil's Law] When the Tulips Bloom

Chapter 22 [5 Military Expenses]

Regarding Du Wei's huge wealth, this matter has to be talked about two years ago.Two years ago, after the coup failed by the eldest prince, Du Wei bought a batch of slaves from Nanyang from the slave market. One of them was an old man who was a priest of the Nanyang United Kingdom, and a young man was regarded as the future king of the Nanyang United Kingdom. , and has a rather important position.

Du Wei unceremoniously took advantage of this relationship, and sent his female knight Ruolin to lead twenty large ships to Nanyang with the old priest, and squeezed Nanyang in the name of ransom. That United Kingdom.As a result, the female knight Ruolin lived up to everyone's expectations and brought back the gold of twenty large ships, as well as a rather detailed navigation chart of the South Seas.

The 5000 million gold coins that Du Wei plans to donate as military expenses at the moment naturally come from the proceeds from this time.

Prince Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, "Du Wei... where did you get so much money!" He knew that the property under the name of the Tulip family was very profitable, but it was just money. Financial income for the whole year!The property under Du Wei's name has only been opened for two years, how could there be so much money!

Du Wei laughed, and then said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I earned the money, do you want it or not?"

Prince Chen turned his eyes, but he snorted, "Yes! Why not!" But after a pause, he looked at Du Wei and smiled lightly, "What about your conditions? Hmph, you bastard, there is no reward, I'm afraid you won't do it. What... what do you want?"

Du Wei's face was full of innocence, "Your Highness, you can't say that, I will do whatever you want me to do for Your Highness." He blinked, smiling, and returned to normal under the stare of Prince Chen , opened the mouth and said, "Your Highness, if I don't mention something, you probably won't feel at ease...well, so be it...I want Emerald River and rename it Luolin River; I want Cote Province and rename it Renamed to Luo Lin Plain; I want the Luo Lin family to be exonerated, and my younger brother Gabriel will take over as the hereditary Earl of the Luo Lin family!"

Du Wei paused, then continued, "In addition, if the Luo Lin family's title is restored, then the Luo Lin family's private army must also be rebuilt. I don't want many private troops, only [-], and the [-] private army I request that they be transferred to the northwest!" Seeing Prince Chen's changed expression, Du Wei explained, "Your Highness, we all know that in order to deal with the upcoming war, you must first eliminate internal troubles before going abroad. Therefore, You will definitely get rid of the Northwest Army in the near future. In the chaos in the Northwest, my original army is not enough to protect myself... The Luo Lin family and I were originally a family, so asking them to help me is not too much to ask? This matter You must nod for this matter, otherwise, if tens of thousands of troops are mobilized at will, it will be a crime of rebellion."

Prince Chen stared at Du Wei, and quickly calculated in his mind, 5000 million was exchanged for the pardon of Luo Lin's family. Although it seemed a bit embarrassing, these were trivial matters.As for sending Luo Lin's private army to the northwest to help Du Wei, although it was a bit excessive, it was within his bottom line.

So Prince Chen nodded sharply, "Yes." The two reached an agreement on this issue.

More than a dozen important officials of the empire who were urgently called into the palace were not taken to the study of His Highness the Regent or other small conference halls by the court envoys, but were taken all the way to the "Holy Thorn Flower Splendor" hall .This hall is the largest hall in the entire palace, and it is also the place with the longest history. More than 960 years ago, in this hall, the founding emperor announced the establishment of the Roland Empire to his elite generals. 200 years ago, when the Augustinian dynasty rejuvenated, the emperor's enthronement ceremony was also held here.In the Northwest War decades ago, and later in the first Nanyang expedition, Augustine VI publicly announced the "War Order" here.It can be said that this is a place of great significance to the Roland Empire...

The bosses have come to this point, how can they still not understand that something big has really happened? When they saw the expressionless face of Prince Chen who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, they all looked at Prince Chen standing at the same place. Du Wei next to him glanced, um, the expression of Duke Tulip seems to be quite normal.So the matter shouldn't be too serious?

Most of the bosses scoffed at the rumors in the imperial capital, but they were sure that the regent really favored Duke Tulip!The fact that the Duke of Tulip stayed in the palace for three days and two nights this time is even more confirmed.The Acting Pope must have discussed some important matter with His Royal Highness the Regent, and after that, His Royal Highness left Duke Tulip alone, and he must have been informed of this matter. It is such a favor, and in the next few decades we will see The status of Duke Tulip is unshakable now.

But soon, these bigwigs didn't have the energy to think about it, because His Royal Highness Prince Chen announced in an irresistible tone that a new main army of the empire would be formed in half a year's time!The Minister of Finance almost jumped up to object, but before he could say anything, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent said in an understatement that Duke Tulip Du Wei directly donated 5000 million gold coins for the establishment of this legion!

5000 million gold coins!Everyone in the hall saw Du Wei's complexion changed. Du Wei just smiled but didn't speak. Immediately afterwards, Prince Chen announced the amnesty order for Luo Lin's family in public. Everyone understood at once.Well, it turns out that the Duke of Tulip spent 5000 million military expenses in exchange for the recovery of the Luo Lin family-Duke of Tulip is indeed rich and powerful.

The meeting came to an end here, and all the ministers left one after another—the formation of a new main army is not something that can be done just by talking about it, there are still many things to do!When Camisiro walked out of the hall, he glanced back by chance. Du Wei was standing beside Prince Chen, talking to Prince Chen with a smile. Prince Chen listened with lowered eyes, but his expression was not as stern as in the previous meeting. Instead, there is a touch of softness.

Camisiro was stunned, until the chancellor of finance who was walking behind him accidentally knocked him over, and then he came back to his senses, quickly withdrew his gaze, and walked out with everyone.But as he walked, the cold sweat fell from his forehead. He always felt that he seemed to have glimpsed something very secret by accident.

Du Wei naturally didn't notice Camisiro, he was trying to convince Prince Chen that he planned to continue to have lunch in the palace - he was about to leave for Luolin Plain to announce the news of the amnesty, and it was a long time since he left. It's Chen - Prince Chen firmly threw Du Wei out of the palace.It's been three days, and Du Wei won't go back to his duke's mansion anymore. He still doesn't know what people outside are going to say!Although the invasion of criminals is the most important thing, Prince Chen doesn't want his reputation and shame - so in fact, Prince Chen, who couldn't bear to listen to the rumors, is going to make a move.

Du Wei sighed, and honestly left the palace with the amnesty order from the Luo Lin family. After returning to the Duke's mansion, the first thing he saw was Gabriel's dark face.

Gabriel was almost going crazy with worry in these three days. Originally, it was not uncommon for his brother to enter the palace as soon as he entered the palace.However, he didn't come back that night?Then it was another day, and then another night... Gabriel went from being indifferent at the beginning, to worrying later, to being irritable, and kept thinking about the Prince Regent, especially when he knew that the Prince Regent After spending a day and a night with his dear brother.

"Brother," Gabriel raised his dark face and looked at Du Wei, "Should you explain it?"

Du Wei coughed, continued to look at Gabriel with an apologetic expression, and touched his little head, "Sorry, I didn't inform you." The main reason was that Chen's condition was not very good at that time, so Du Wei ignored After learning about the situation at the Duke's Mansion, I didn't expect Gabriel to be so worried.

Gabriel responded to his brother's explanation with a sharp eye and a cold snort.

Zach, the manager of the Tulip Duke's Mansion, was full of horror, because he synthesized the information he had obtained before, contacted the recent rumors in the imperial capital, and finally took a closer look at his own Duke, who seemed to be in a good mood recently. The state... The conclusion almost made Zach's expression crack.

Zach lowered his head silently, closed his mouth silently, and said to himself silently, people who are too smart since ancient times have no good end, he should be a little stupid, it is better than dying unexpectedly.

Du Wei didn't care about Zach, and his attention was focused on Gabriel at the moment. He didn't mind his younger brother's awkward expression, but grabbed Gabriel's shoulders and hugged Gabriel into his arms, "Okay, Gabriel, don't be like this look. I really have some good news for you, you really don't want to know?"

When Gabriel was hugged by Du Wei, he had already softened. He leaned on Du Wei as he did when he was a child, and after feeling much better, he said, "Huh? What good thing made my brother so happy? "

"In the future, when you become an adult at the age of 15, I should call you Earl Rollin, Gabriel."

Gabriel looked at Du Wei in a daze, and after a long time, he went through the meaning of this sentence in his mind, looked at Du Wei with brighter and brighter eyes, and then laughed, "Brother! You mean, Our Luo Lin family..."

"His Highness the Regent just issued an amnesty order to restore the title and fiefdom of the Luo Lin family." Du Wei replied affirmatively, "Okay, Gabriel, hurry back and pack up, we have to go back to the Luo Lin Plain to bring this good news to What about father?"
