Wolf King

After picking up the big treasure of the Snake Clan, Xiao Yun has no interest in the next "sales fair"...

The capacity of Balk's space ring is not large, and it is the porcelain "exclusively" for the elves in the tribe that brings the traveling expenses. The white porcelain tableware set that suits the taste of the elves can obviously scratch the itch of the nobles of the human race. Prince Carlisle also helped to promote and advertise. The porcelain with a limited number of [-] sets (mainly because it couldn’t be brought in too much) was sold at a good price, and it just happened to be lent to the Snake Clan to pay Carlisle directly for renting a boat after the spring.

Well, this money is not borrowed in vain, it has to be repaid. After the Snakes moved to the west coast, they will repay it with salt... It is also 5% interest, calculated on an annual basis... Just as the tribe is going to carry out reforms, the loan to the Snakes is considered an open business up.

Harris was so emotional that he left that night to contact the Snake Warriors; as for Xiao Yun... As Carlisle's teacher and the envoy of the royal families of the four southern countries, he had to meet him.

The absence of the Kingdom of Homs has cast a shadow over the Six Nations Alliance. Fortunately, the rangers hired by King Valentin from the Bards Association sent a letter of credence that the Kingdom of Homs will not violate the alliance, which greatly increased the confidence of the other four countries; The next day after the palace banquet, the envoys of the four royal families came together to formally discuss the alliance with Carlisle.

In the meeting hall of the main hall of the royal palace, Prince Carlisle, Princess Rose, and little princess Betty received the four royal families with royal etiquette. Please come out.

That's right - for the six southern countries, the military pressure is far less terrifying than the economic pressure~!

There are no demigods in the human world, just like there are no nuclear weapons in modern warfare, which means that anything can happen on the battlefield.

It is not very pragmatic for the six countries that are in a group to say how afraid they are of the federal coalition forces that are going on an expedition... Home field advantage is not just for fun (there have been blitzkriegs in the history of wars on the earth, and there have also been winter wars that made the Soviet Union ashamed). The concentration of the national forces in one place is not weaker than the Federation Expeditionary Force; the only thing to be feared is that the Federation has spent ten years in a financial war of attrition with the Six Nations, so the national strength of the Six Nations must not be able to consume the behemoth of the Federation.

This possibility is neither high nor low. The reason for the establishment of the Federation is to resist the Holy See’s use of doctrine to erode politics and meddle in the royal power of various countries. However, the holy land of the Holy See and the Pope are not in Bloomfield, but in Bradrick on the other side of the sea. , the "external" pressure is not strong enough, and naturally there is no unity within the federation-so far, the federation has not yet had a leader with sufficient authority and unambiguous opinions, and the most powerful King Cronin can have the final say. Three acres of land.

After ten years of economic efforts to fight against the six countries in the south, it is more likely that the backyards of the federation countries will catch fire before the collapse of the six countries...

Of course, this kind of major event that concerns the survival of the country cannot rely entirely on the enemy's lack of strength, and its own crisis plan must be in place—no matter whether the Federation has the courage to use its national power to consume it, the six countries must do it well Prepare for a long war.

"Southland Chamber of Commerce?" Princess Yajialan covered her mouth with her hand, slightly surprised.

Yajialan, one of the six countries, is the only country in the south whose royal power has been encroached on by the Holy See.When Carlisle proposed the Six Nations Alliance, the Yajialan royal family first sent a nobleman to St. Bridge... that is, Earl Russell, who was brushed off by Carlisle for picking his brother-in-law.

Yajialan, who hopes to separate church and state and abolish religious property, can be said to be the one with the most sincerity in cooperation among the five countries. After Carlisle released his hope to negotiate directly with the royal family, he immediately arranged for the princess to come over—in order to fight against the religious power in the country, Yajialan Jialan was the first to adopt the female grand duchess system. The eldest princess can be named grand duchess when she gets married (the princess herself will not inherit after her death, so as to avoid endangering the royal power). This woman with faint freckles on her face is the future duchess.

"Yes." Carlisle smiled.

The predecessor of the Southland Chamber of Commerce was the St. Bridge Maritime Chamber of Commerce, which Carlisle himself took the lead.He knew very well that what could tightly maintain the Six Nations Alliance was the maritime trade routes he held in his hands. When the Six Nations Alliance was established, he would naturally not be stingy about using the chamber of commerce he had set up to play a role.

"Last year, we reached an agreement with the forest elves. The forest elves will sell the spices we produce to the dungeon through the entrance of the fairy forest underground world. This is why I have the confidence to let you mobilize the country to send the spices to our country before the sea opens in spring. Everyone knows the reason." After a pause, Carlisle shook his head lightly, "But this is not enough, the three markets of forest elves, dark elves, and northern grasslands alone are not enough to support our six countries in the future. The long war against the Federation."

After all, war is about money!During the war, only by maintaining trade or even expanding trade to restore blood to the six countries can we avoid being dragged down by the war of attrition.

The eyes of the princess of the Principality of Llanelli lit up: "So, His Highness intends to open up trade routes again?"

The Principality of Llanelli is the smallest country among the six countries, with a total population of about 800 million.The lack of a coastline puts the Principality at a disadvantage in the development of maritime trade. After St. Bridge shouted the slogan of the Six Nations Alliance, the Principality of Llanelli responded very positively.

Carlisle smiled slightly. The two princesses would inevitably lose their composure when there was a big river, but they could still talk about things after calming down... A princess who can be trusted by the king (grand duke) and entrusted with important tasks cannot be a pure flower vase .

"Limited by the existing shipbuilding technology, we cannot build a large ship that can travel across the open sea, but... through the inland sea, our fleet can land in the southern part of the western continent of the Dwarf Kingdom; along the coastline to the east, our fleet can Arrive at the Far East Continent Orc Empire." Carlisle said in a deep voice, "Our spices can reach the West and East Continents before we can really give the Lamia Chamber of Commerce, no, give the Federation a heavy blow!"

The interior of the Southern Continent is still dominated by the Federation. The land transportation capacity of the six countries is not enough to compete with the Lamia Chamber of Commerce to seize the market; high-sea trade is the golden lifeblood of the Lamia Chamber of Commerce, but the six countries cannot build large ships that can withstand the wind and waves in the open sea—— Since these two ends cannot be touched, Carlisle must cast his sights where he can reach them.

The members of the four royal families looked at each other and smiled. Those who can sit here are all talented for a while. Carlisle said to this extent, the meaning could not be more clear-this Southern Chamber of Commerce, St. Bridge intends to use it to share with the six royal families!

The prince of the Kingdom of Smoley said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Carlisle, we all admire your vision and boldness. If you can seize the spice markets in the Western Continent and the Far East, you will be able to teach the Lamia Chamber of Commerce enough lessons."

The prince of the Sara Kingdom thought for a while, and said: "The western continent only needs to cross the inland sea to reach Rossetti Harbor. If it is to go to the Far East, the round trip will take at least four months. The number of ships and crews is not small, right?"

"What the prince said is very true, and this is exactly what I want to discuss with a few of you." Carlisle nodded and smiled, "The Southern Chamber of Commerce now only has more than [-] ships, which can no longer keep up with the needs of future development. So... I hope the chamber of commerce can expand to three hundred ships."

The expressions of the four royal families are different, but on the whole they are still reserved--Carlisle's meaning is very obvious, and the rest of the ships will have to come from all over the world.

As many ships as they can afford can take up as much transportation. This is not the time to be polite. The families of the four kings immediately spoke out one after another. Even the princess of the Principality of Llanelli, who does not own the harbor, opened up and occupied [-] ships...

Xiao Yun didn't say a word, and watched with a smile as the excellent disciples dominated the overall situation, haggling with the four royal families reservedly and gracefully, every penny and every penny—no matter which way the Southern Kingdom Chamber of Commerce's fleet sailed, it would inevitably transfer supplies at the Elven Port on the way. No matter what the newly opened air route, the Snow Wolf Clan could benefit from it.

Carlisle, who supervised the country as a prince, took advantage of this place. To deal with Carlisle, the other five countries can only send the middle and young generations of the royal family. These young royal families who have received elite education but lack experience will not It is unlikely to be the opponent of Carlisle who first settled the domestic nobles and then forced his father to "glorify"... For example, Carlisle did not mention at all whether it is controversial to use St. Bridge's port as the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, and let these royal families subconsciously accept it. St. Bridge's qualification to occupy absolute dominance.

It is also a point to limit the number of ships of the Chamber of Commerce to [-]. Will the Chamber of Commerce with the purpose of increasing the transaction volume think that there are too many ships?Definitely not... Draw a circle and let others dance within the specified range, and let others compete in the next stage and stand on the sidelines to be the referee. This method shows how slippery Carlisle is~

Well, this is really what I taught well~!

With a small plan, he led a prince, a prince and two princesses to follow his own pace. After the meeting and sent away the four royal families who were eager to contact the country, Carlisle looked at Xiao Yun energetically, with a face full of pleas. Thumbs up……

At times like this, Xiao Yun never undermined other people's self-confidence, and gave him a thumbs up generously.

"Teacher!" Carlisle stretched out his arms excitedly.

Xiao Yun casually picked up the little princess Betty who was dozing off in the armchair and handed it over: "The little princess is asleep, hurry up and coax her."

Carlisle: "..." Hug the little girl.

Looking down at the little Betty who is snoring beautifully, Carlisle has black lines... What are you coaxing?

"Princess Rose, I don't know if you are free this afternoon. Would you like to take my clansmen to visit the magnificent scenery of the royal city? We also invited Darren, and we just happened to go together as companions." Xiao Yun acted as if he hadn't Seeing it, he turned his head and smiled authentically.

The eldest princess's eyes lit up, she has never been out of the palace since she is so old!

Immediately, the little girl looked anxious again, and looked nervously at Brother Wang.

"Your Highness, I think Yajialan's princess is very good. She is enthusiastic, unrestrained, and full of energy. A young girl of this age should be carefree like this." Xiao Yun persuaded honestly.

"..." Carlisle thought about being safe with the Snow Werewolf, so he reluctantly said, "Go, Rose, go and change into casual clothes, long-sleeved and high-necked ones, and remember to wear a hat .”

"Thank you, Brother Wang!" Princess Rose quickly lifted her skirt to salute, took a few steps back, turned around, and ran out of the conference hall like a bird.

"What a little girl, I treat you like an old lady." When the eldest princess ran out of the corridor, Xiao Yun disagreed and said, "Princess Yajialan and Llanelli are well-bred, I think you should let Luo Sido deals with them."

Carlisle recalled the performance of the two princesses at the banquet, expressing his opinion with a deadpan face.

Calling the palace lady to carry little Betty down, Carlisle sat down and loosened the neckline: "Teacher, when you go back, I don't know when I will see you... When the grassland becomes more stable, why don't you come to St. Bridges?" Stay for a while?"

Xiao Yun nodded slightly to the maid who brought the tea, and said, "That's still very early. You are not the only ones who have the pressure of Lamia, we also have it."

After mentioning the incident of Valentine's detaining workers, Xiao Yun continued: "After all, the Lamia Chamber of Commerce has developed for hundreds of years and has monopolized the Bloomfield Salt Industry for hundreds of years. There is a rotten part of the day, after all, the centipede is dead but not stiff, and the person in charge of a branch has a considerable level."

Carlisle frowned and thought for a while: "The grassland... is really too close to the base camp of Lamia, teacher, your tribe must pay attention to safety."

Xiao Yun laughed: "If you want to trouble us on the grassland, Lamia has to pass the level of the forest elves first. The blood transfusions I gave to the forest elves in the past few years are not in vain. Let's earn a gold coin. The elves can earn at least two."

Hearing this, Carlisle felt sad for no reason... St. Bridge at least had the strength to keep the money he earned, but the teacher's tribe had to ensure peace by giving away profits.

"That's right." Xiao Yun sat up straight and said seriously, "You exiled Prince Hilbert, two earls, and a grand princess. Even with a good excuse, you have aroused the fear of others. At the banquet last night, Huo Klee took the initiative to approach Collins, this is a bad signal, these nobles are worried that you will attack them, and may form a camp out of self-preservation instinct, you have to pay attention to this."

"I understand." Carlisle nodded, "Next, I will properly let go of the military power of the National Defense Army."

The National Defense Army is a new army after Carlisle "inherited" the army from the king, releasing part of the military power to release goodwill. At least smart people at the level of Hockley and Collins will know what can and cannot be done——Army Logistics In the hands of Carlisle, I am not afraid of anyone who can turn the world upside down.

"It seems that you already know it in your heart, so I won't talk too much." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you are also 30 years old. According to the age of the human race, you should have a family. Should marriage be used as a marriage tool to win over the great nobles in the country, or to marry a certain royal family, or to wait for true love?"

Carlisle: "..."

It's not surprising that the teacher cares about life-long events, but the teacher is several years younger than himself, so it's weird to say such things... and he doesn't shy away from talking about marriage tools, it's really good to be so straightforward!

"Well... I haven't considered this yet." Carlisle wiped his sweat silently.

"I should think about it, Yajialan's princess is really good—"

"Teacher, how much do you miss Yajialan's princess..." Carlisle really didn't want to talk about this, so he forcibly changed the subject, "Aren't you going to go to the city with other people? I heard that you invited Master Collins?"

Xiao Yun fell back and relaxed on the armchair: "I'm not willing to go out when I have a choice. How can I be more comfortable than staying in the house and doing nothing?"

Carlisle was expressionless: "...so you don't want to come to St. Bridges?"

"Uh……"

During the half month spent in St. Bridge, except for Xiao Yun, who was rarely able to enjoy the house life, the schedules of the others were very busy-walking every street, learning about the urban layout of Wangcheng, and the functions of each block Facilities, the scope of authority and responsibility of various official departments on paper, and the performance of their functions in actual operation; what kind of posts in St. Bridges are seriously dereliction of duty, what kind of posts are vegetarians, and what kind of posts have fewer people, more work, more money and less money, so people avoid them Not as good as... wait.

Drawing on the experience of being attacked in the street and being coldly dealt with by a certain department, Xiao Yun would get a few local dignitaries in the Snow Wolf Clan team as "passes" when "running off the field"... First, to avoid trouble, and second, many people who cannot You can go where you go.

Candidates for the pass include Princess Rose, the grandson of the Earl of Collins, Carlisle's little friend Darren, the eldest son of the Earl of Hockley...etc.

During the day, he dragged the passes he had tricked him into running around, and at night when he was in class, Xiao Yun would ask everyone to explain and summarize the functions of the official departments he had "visited", find their shortcomings and advantages, and analyze their necessity or cumbersomeness. Everyone wants to die...

When the Snowwolves completed the course of "Urban Construction Management Observation and Study" and packed their things to go home, the people who came to see him off, except for Prince Carlisle who hugged Xiao Yun and Princess Rose reluctantly, Darren & the noble young masters who had passed the pass Crazy OS: Don't come again! !

Earl Collins looked at his grandson strangely, what's going on with this kid, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes?

Master Collins didn't bother to respond to his grandfather, and stared bitterly at the group of snow wolves who dragged him back and forth for N days.

Seemingly sensing his "enthusiastic" sight, the grassroots patriarch strode over immediately, stretched out his long arms, grabbed Master Collins, and hugged him vigorously: "Goodbye, Jerome, our friend of the Snow Wolf Clan, we will miss you." your!"

Master Collins: "...!!"

Earl Collins' eyelids twitched.

"When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming on the grassland, you are welcome to come to our tribe as a guest." The grassroots patriarch patted the young master on the back, let him go, and patted him on the shoulder again, "Come!"

Master Collins' legs gave way, and he almost collapsed on the spot. He resisted the urge to vomit blood, and his face turned purple...

Mu Mu, Ah Shan, and Patriarch Li also walked towards the other pass young masters, and under the horrified eyes of each other, they made lightning strikes and hugged hard...

Aristocratic bureaucrats: "..."

Xiao Yun got rid of Carlisle with a dark face, and the snow wolves waved their hands vigorously as they walked away: "Goodbye, goodbye spicyヾ(￣▽￣)~!!"

Master Collins took a deep breath, and roared with his companions in unison: "No goodbye!!"

His Royal Highness Prince Carlisle turned his head blankly, and the nobles hurriedly gagged their useless juniors and dragged them back...

Princess Rose, who was wearing a veil and hood, let out a "poof", her shoulders trembled with laughter, and she was full of reluctance after laughing: "Brother Wang...I really miss them."

"If the teacher is a human race, I really want to marry you to him." Carlisle sighed.

Princess Rose: "??"

The next day, during the political discussion in the council hall, Princess Rose knew where Brother Wang's emotion came from...

"This is a gift from my teacher." His Royal Highness was expressionless, and patted a thick stack of notepads handwritten by court ladies on the table. "Everyone take it down and have a look, take a good look."

Princess Rose was also given a copy as a princess discussing politics. After reading two pages, she looked at the ministers in the hall with strange expressions.

The old-fashioned aristocrat who has always had a tough style, the Minister of Finance, Earl Collins, is stiff-faced, the Minister of the Interior, Earl Hockley, has sweat on his forehead, the face of the Minister of Civil Affairs is pale, and the Minister of State Affairs is on the verge of collapse...

"The snow wolves have summed up and summarized the chronic diseases in half a month, but we have ignored them for countless years." Carlisle said with no expression, "I understand that many problems are not discovered by no one, but it is too expensive to cut the flesh and get rid of the rot. It's too big and involves too much, so it's better to force it to continue, anyway, the chronic disease can't kill people for a while... But is this reasonable? Is it really unchangeable? Please think carefully and give me an answer when discussing politics tomorrow. "

His Royal Highness got up and left the table, and the two princesses also got up to salute and then exited the hall.

The ministers looked at each other in dismay, speechless... The snow wolf clan who ran about in the street without dignity, and the sage Ayun who hid in the palace behind closed doors really taught them a good lesson—— When they were alive and kicking in the royal city, who would have thought that this group of people would leave such a good knife for killing His Highness the Prince?

Among the ministers present, Earl Collins, the only one with a relatively clean buttocks, drooped his eyelids, staring at the notepad copied by the female officer in his hand; as old as he was, he knew that the sage Ayun left Carlyle with more than just these...

"St. Bridge's official is not so easy to do." Earl Collins thought to himself.

Unlike other ministers who were ashen-faced, this Dinghaishenzhen of the Collins family quickly adjusted his mentality to accept the facts, and his eyes flashed.

If the job can be sealed according to ability, the old earl doesn't think the Collins family will lose!

A month and a half later.

The long winter finally passed, and General Kleist, who returned to the forest for the winter, returned to the Elf Port with his subordinates and vassal races to clean up the houses and buildings that had been closed for more than 100 days, clean up the accumulated water and debris in the block, and the excrement of wild animals, and prepare to receive Guests from across the sea.

"Hey, you guys are here!"

Hailin and her good friend Kai dragged the cleaned garbage out of the port and burned it. Only halfway through the burning, they saw a few snow werewolves emerging from the jungle.

"Ah Yue?" Hai Lin stood up in surprise, "Have you opened the shop so early? Where is Ah Shu?"

"Ashu is still in the tribe." Ah Yue smiled, "We came down to build a house, and we built it over there, near our canal. Seeing the smoke coming from this side, I thought it was a fire, so I came over to have a look .”

"Building a house?" Hailin was excited, "Your tribe is going to move to the west coast?"

"No, it's built for the snake clan." Ah Yue waved her hand.

Hailin gasped: "Snakes—?!"
