[West Fantasy] The noble lady who was divorced became rich

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday." The pope who rushed over did not see Richard immediately, because Richard, who was physically and mentally exhausted, directly refused to communicate with the Papal State after a crisis of public relations. Therefore, the guilty latter could only wait until the next morning before meeting Richard.

Compared with the harmony and joy when the saint first arrived, the Solins Palace at this moment is full of oppressive atmosphere that makes it hard to breathe.Not only did Richard put away his iconic smile, but even Abela, who had always been brainless, realized that the current situation was very wrong, so he tried hard to suppress his sense of existence, and put on a look of "what am I?" I don't know" attitude.

"How interesting!" Richard exhaled, trying to hide the exhaustion of not sleeping all night: "The great Pope actually apologized to me, this is an honor that is difficult for many people to obtain."

"You..." The cardinal who was sent by the pope to monitor the saint just wanted to reprimand Richard for his arrogance, but was stopped by the pope: "Your Majesty, I can understand your anger at the papal state's inaction, and And willingly accept your duties."

The Pope is not a person who wants to save face and suffer, so it is not a bad thing to let Richard take advantage of his mouth, at least it can ease their current embarrassing situation: "I only hope that you can forgive the mistakes made by the Holy Maiden, don't do it for this." Blame someone else."

These words sounded innocent, but after thinking about it, it revealed the breath of white lotus from the beginning to the end.

Admittedly, the pope's posture is so low that it is hard to imagine that this is the head of religion, the spokesperson of all gods in the world, so Richard should have accepted the pope's apology down the ladder, and then worked with the pope to solve the current situation Dilemma is.

However, Richard did not accept the pope's high hat, nor did he disdain the petty gains of the moment, so after the pope was polite, he still looked indifferent and alienated: "Your words make me feel uneasy."

Richard stopped rubbing his fingers, not wanting to accept the Pope's kindness: "It's just that people's words will have different effects depending on the occasion when they speak."

The Pope frowned slightly, but he didn't get angry immediately: "Your words are also unexpectedly tough."

"But on the other hand, if there is no real evidence, I would not dare to be presumptuous in front of you." Richard knew that what he said was not ordinary, and it might even make the Papal State angry.But right now he has to clear up the suspicion that Solins is collaborating with the Holy Maiden and even non-governmental organizations. Moreover, if he has evidence but does not show it, or if he has evidence but does not disclose it, he will surely bring about a disaster at some point.

It would be better to show the card from the beginning, and then let the Pope fear the evidence in Richard's hand and dare not act rashly.

"Your words gave me a bad premonition." The pope had already heard what Richard meant, and understood that he could not force Richard to cooperate, or throw all the mess that Abela made to Suo Rings.

Although in the southern countries, Solins is in an embarrassing situation with a small area, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and in addition, Solins is next to the Papal State, with the Grand Duchy of Aquique and Austria. Busta formed a siege, so it was impossible for the Pope to offend Richard simply and neatly, and then allow himself to be emptied by Marianne and Richard.

"Stand back!" The Pope, who had figured this out, didn't make a fearless struggle, and asked someone to vacate the ground for him and Richard, apparently to say something that couldn't be recorded.

"It seems that you have thought it through." Richard didn't expect the Pope to be so sure that he had something that could completely collapse the Papal State, and he didn't even ask him to take a look or try a few more words.

It stands to reason that after Richard's attitude changed, the Pope should ask Richard to show something, and then use this to take away something that could completely collapse the Papal State.

For this reason, Richard made two preparations, and even thought about what to say when the entourage of the Papal State turned pale with fright.

However, things are going completely out of Richard's expectation now.

The Pope's dexterity gave him a bad premonition, and even when he was talking alone, he subconsciously returned to a more moderate tone.

"You've already talked about this, I have nothing to struggle with." The Pope knew that Richard was very smart, even comparable to Obsta's acting skills.However, Richard is a young man in his twenties. In terms of qualifications and experience, it is impossible to compete with the Pope, so the moment he showed his confidence, the Pope predicted the next development: "We can't let If you are in public, embarrass the Papal Kingdom!"

Richard met the Pope's eyes, and a drop of cold sweat involuntarily shed on his forehead: "Aren't you afraid that I will find the opportunity to reveal the evidence in my hand to someone who is against you?"

"I'm afraid." When the Pope heard Richard say this, he was even more relieved: "But...do you dare to do this?"

If you talk about foxes pretending to be tigers, the Pope is a good player.Otherwise, Dan Hill and Irina would not be taken back so smoothly by him: "Facts are not called facts just because they are facts."

Richard swallowed subconsciously, relying on his collar and strong expression control to hide his guilt.

"The main thing is how many people are willing to believe, so that the facts can be established." The pope easily led Richard by the nose, but it made the latter confused about what he had to do.

"So, now, can you talk about your request in detail?" The Pope finally got to the point and said, "What price do you want the Papal State to pay, or..."

The Pope thought carefully about Richard's performance, and felt that there must be an expert behind him.As for who this tall man is... The Pope is not sure yet, but he must be a famous figure on the mainland.

"You and the people behind you need the Papal State to do something before they are willing to give up the evidence in their hands."

…………… I am the dividing line……………

"Your Majesty, I hope we can cooperate happily."

The people in charge of the big companies who were invited to the palace were very satisfied with the conditions offered by Mariana, with smiles from the bottom of their hearts on their faces: "I wish your bicycle business a prosperous future, and I wish Obstar a long-lasting glory."

"Then I will accept your good words." Mariana smiled and watched the heads of big companies who were still full of gloom when they entered the door. After the footsteps were far away, she rubbed the corners of her stiff mouth and let out a long breath: "Finally sent away all these difficult guys."

"But in this way, you have to give up half of the benefits every year in exchange for those people's peace of mind." Abigail endured it for a long time, until Mariana relaxed her vigilance, and then said: "Is it worth it?"

"If you ask me that way, I can only say how many of the grants issued by Obstar each year are worthwhile?" Marianne didn't expect to benefit from it, after all, the purpose of bicycles is to reduce the burden on civilians. , especially the travel costs of small vendors.And Mariana still has regular dividends from the Principality of Britannia and the royal family of Obstar, plus she is the lord of Colin, and she has the allowance of the Grand Duke of Aquique, so the bicycle and beverage factories do not make money. It didn't have much effect on her.

To use a saying that is quite Versailles, when your wealth has already entered the top ten in the world, is there any difference between [-] million more and [-] million less?

However, in the eyes of ordinary people in Obstar, the extra [-] million is likely to create hundreds of jobs.

Among other things, there are hundreds of small traders who are fed by Coke.

After all, it is impossible for distributors to wait for customers to come to their door, so they will hire some small vendors at places far from the store, and let them sell products or sell them to people passing by.

The daily salary of this kind of "empty peddler" is around [-] talents, which is the price of two fast meals, but it can solve the urgent needs of many people.However, considering the safety of the goods, only locals can be hired as "empty peddlers".

"It's just giving half of the profits, not giving up all the rights and interests of the bicycle factory." Mariana has been with the Grand Duchess Aquique for a long time, so she knows that intangible things are the most difficult to estimate.

As for the Grand Duchy of Aquique, as a country of commerce, the amount of oil and water squeezed out from Britannia and Obstar is estimated to be double the conservative figure estimated by the Duchy of Britannia. .

"If they want the pricing power or strategic layout power of the bicycle factory, I would still hesitate for a while, but now it seems..." Mariana felt that she still overestimated the stupidity of Obstar's political circle.This reminded her of the documentaries about the three tyrants in modern African history that she had seen in her previous life.

Kill good ministers, destroy books and history, and expel scholars.

If a country wants to embark on the path of destruction, as long as one of the above three is accounted for, half of the progress can be completed.

Mariana knew she couldn't clean up the bad atmosphere in the country in one day.

It's just that she still has to try it out bit by bit how to boil the frog in warm water.

"Think of it as spending money to eliminate disasters and buy roads." Mariana casually comforted Abigail, and then discussed with Lena about the second beverage factory.

"Why, you can't take your eyes off?" Oster noticed that Botis's gaze never left Marianne, so he leaned closer and said, "Didn't you tell her what happened to Solins?"

Botis moved his eyeballs to Oster's direction, and warned with an unchanged expression: "Stop interrupting, and be careful that I hang you on the city wall."

"That's really my honor." Oster was not afraid of Botis' threat, because he knew that this demon would never make things difficult for Mariana.

At least not now.

"Wipe your paws clean, and don't let me know that you have done something you shouldn't do again." Botis knew very well that Oster was not as peaceful as he appeared, but as a demon, Botis Nor did he forget what his real mission was.
