Qianye put down the record in his hand and said, "Where is the contact person from the empire? Bring him to see me."
After a while, the general brought a thin middle-aged man. This person is dressed in Chinese clothes, and he comes from a little-known low-ranking family. I don’t know what the family has done, or he wants to stand out, so he specially went to Yonglu, a remote village, to serve as the liaison between the Imperial Army and Qianye’s Department. .
Qianye didn't have much affection for this person, so he put the two records in front of him, and said, "I heard that the empire stopped shipping, what's going on?"
The man was not in a hurry, and cupped his hands and said: "The cause of this matter is simple and very simple. The war in the new world is also extremely tight on the Empire's side, so the adults in the military department are thinking that the exchange price given to you before is really too high." It’s a discount. When the empire itself is nervous, this price is not suitable. So I stopped the shipment first, and want to renegotiate the price with you?”
Qianye remained calm and just asked, "What price do you want?"
"What the adults mean is that one potion needs to be exchanged for three batches of tree sap."
"You are crazy!" The general next to him jumped up immediately. This is equivalent to raising the price three times at once, how can people accept it
Qianye stretched out his hands and pressed, stopped his general, looked at the imperial envoy, his face gradually darkened, and said, "You have already received the news, right?"
The imperial envoy's face changed slightly, and he said, "I did get the news a few days ago, and I don't think it's a big deal. I might as well wait for you to come back and find a suitable time to tell you."
What he said sounded nice, but Qianye knew in his heart that this was just an excuse to cheat Qianye with a few more batches of tree sap. If Qianye can send out more batches of sap, it can probably be regarded as his merit.
Qianye said lightly: "What are you, you dare to play such tricks in front of me?"
Qianye didn't move his body, just lightly tapped the table, the imperial envoy felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer in the chest, his face instantly turned pale, and the original force in his chest was scurrying around, a whirlpool almost Burst open.
"My lord, spare me!!" The imperial envoy's face was pale, and he fell to his knees. He finally understood that if Qianye stretched out a finger casually, he could crush a small person like him to death.
"Looking at your status, I will spare you this time. Go back and tell the adults in your family that what I can accept is two parts of tree sap for one potion. If the price is higher than this, there is no need We've talked. Also, please those 'adults' sit tight, and I'll have a good talk with them when the opening of the new world is over."
The imperial envoy didn't dare to say much, wiped off the sweat on his brow, got up and gave a salute, then bowed his head and left in a hurry.
The general looked at his back, worried, and said, "My lord, let this guy go like this? After he goes back, it will definitely be bad for you."
Qianye said: "Even if we have done something like triple the price, what could be more unfavorable? It's just that the war on Qin Lu's side is not going well, so if you give more, it will be regarded as supporting the empire. And Now at this time, they sometimes make troubles, and I don't have time to deal with them. I will take care of everything after the dust settles."
The general thought about it for a while, and it was the same reason. The development of the new world is in full swing, and arguing with the Imperial Army at this time, not to mention protracted, will inevitably involve energy. He followed Qianye for a long time, so he knew a lot of Qianye's past deeds, so he said, "Since Lord Jundu is in charge over there, it is necessary to support him."
Qianye shook his head, and said, "This matter is not that simple, and the price increase may be just the beginning."
The general was taken aback, "With Lord Cointreau and your status, there are still people over there who have the guts to grow hairy, and they must come to capture the tiger's beard?"
Qianye got up and went to the window, looking at the noisy city of blue waves, said: "When I first came here, it was just a backcountry, and no one cared about the empire, and no one cared about the interests here. The original families , They are all low-level characters. Rather than saying that they are optimistic about Yong Lu, it is better to say that they just want to bet on me. Now it is different, just this city, just the food and clothing of tens of millions of werewolves, is Big deal. I think someone over there is after our piece of fat."
This general was born as a mercenary, so he also has a temper. He stared at him immediately and said, "Want to swallow our piece of fat? You are not afraid of choking to death!"
Qianye laughed, and said: "That's the reason. You go down first, and pay attention to the movement of the empire. We still have several batches of supplies on the way."
The general was startled again, "Aren't those supplies and military supplies given to us by various families?"
"It's true that it belongs to the family, but it's also shipped from the empire."
The general raised his voice a little, "But you paid for it, my lord!"
Qianye said: "At this time, it doesn't matter whether you have paid or not."
"This..." the general was speechless.
Qian Yedan said: "It's okay, as I said, these materials are now used to help Cointreau and the others to develop. It's just that I don't need the materials, but I don't care about their whereabouts. If these things are sent to the front line, it will That's all, if the whereabouts are unknown, then I will investigate to the end. You go and send my words to the empire."
"Yes, my lord."
The general retreated, and Qianye stood by the window, the ease on his face disappeared, and the anger gradually rose. He spoke easily in front of his subordinates, but there was no temper in his heart.
At such a time, there are still people in the empire holding back, which Qianye never expected. He started from scratch in Yonglu, and almost suppressed the expansion of the Mosar werewolves with his own strength. He has made great contributions to the empire and the human race. He did not expect to encounter such a thing.
Qianye calmed down slowly, suppressed his anger, and prepared to wait and see what kind of tricks those people could play. For him now, it doesn't make any sense to just get angry, the key is to see how he can fight back.
This time the news came very quickly, but the content really couldn't make Qianye happy, and even managed not to explode on the spot, Qianye already felt that he had a good temper.
The fleets transporting military supplies from various families finally arrived, but the fleet that should have been fully loaded, not only the number of ships has decreased, but also the materials in the cabins have decreased a lot.
It is said that most of the fleets of the family were intercepted by the imperial fleet, and the marines of the imperial guard fleet forcibly boarded the ship and read out the new regulations of the empire: from now on, all military supplies shipped outside the empire must pay taxes.
Unfortunately, the materials sent to Yonglu can be included in the list of military supplies, and Yonglu is also out of the country. Qianye wants to be king independently, not to mention that he has not fulfilled the formalities of being a subject, even if he has completed the procedures, the subject country is also defined as a foreign country.
As for the tax rate, it is half of all materials. This is the "preferential" that the people in charge of the family's fleet tried their best to win.
This time Qianye did not get angry in front of anyone, but first asked about the process carefully.
The several aristocratic family deacons in charge of the fleet are all sensible people. When they encounter something, they feel something is wrong. They spend a lot of effort to make friends with the team members who are performing official duties and inquire about a lot of news.
It turns out that the empire has recently passed a new edict that during wartime, all military supplies sent abroad need to be taxed heavily.
In normal times, there is no problem with this order. In many cases, many types of bulk materials are embargoed in a state of war. Although there is a black market, if a decent family wants to make a fortune, they have to sneak or find an agent. Now it's just collecting taxes. But when it fell on Qianye's head, it changed its taste.
Qianye's face was as still as water, and he said: "The people in the empire will not be ignorant. In this way, the resources from me to the empire will also be cut off."
A business owner said: "My lord, maybe in the eyes of those people, they don't see it that way."
"Oh, so what?"
"Think about it, my lord. What you get is real, and what the family gets is profit. There is nothing wrong with the empire, let alone those people. Even if you stop exporting materials to the empire, That has nothing to do with them either. The salaries and salaries of those adults who make decisions will not be less than a gold coin."
Qianye frowned and asked, "Then what should we do now?"
"Find the key person and prescribe the right medicine!"
Qianye's face sank like water, and he asked: "If the medicine is taken, what should I do if it's not right? Or is the disease getting better slowly?"
The head of the firm said: "This... there is really no good way. Only this way can work. Think about it, since those people dared to do such a trick, they naturally didn't take you or the Zhao Clan seriously. inside."
Qianye nodded and sighed: "It seems that Yong Lu's meat is really too fat."
The head of the firm said in a timely manner: "It was under your rule that Yong Lu became fat."
This flattery made Qianye really comfortable, and said with a smile, "I'm just lucky." After being humble, Qianye's mood improved a lot in an instant, looked at the principal, and asked, "What's your name?"
The head of the firm hurriedly said: "Sun Degui, the villain, is now in the Universal Firm."
Qianye nodded, "Pay more attention to the news from the empire, and tell me directly if there is something important. Also, go and find out who is eyeing me."
Sun Degui hurriedly said, "You should do your best!"
"That's it." Qianye waved away the crowd, wrote a letter with a pen, and ordered people to send it to the residence of Zhao Clan in the imperial capital, and asked them to hand it over to Zhao Jundu on the front line. After doing this, he plunged into the new world and continued to develop great plans, while at the same time suppressing the Mosar werewolf.
The empire, Qin Lu, and the fortress guards at the gates are standing by, staring nervously at the boundless white mist. Now coming out of the door may not only be alien beasts, but also a reconnaissance team of demon descendants.
At this moment, the Empire and the Eternal Night Allied Forces headed by the famous demon family Maesfield are fighting in the new world. The positions of the gates of both sides have been ascertained, and each has sent death squads to penetrate into the other's gate.
Suddenly there was movement at the gate on the side of the empire, and a murderous intent shot up into the sky, causing everyone to shudder, and some of them with low cultivation and timid even sat down on the ground.
A general was very dissatisfied, and shouted: "Why are you panicking! Master Cointreau must have returned. How many times has this happened, and it's not like I haven't seen it before, and everyone is still scared like that bird!"
The soldiers were obsequious, but they were dissatisfied in their hearts. The general's face was also bleak, and his whole body trembled when he became murderous, so how could it be any better
Heavy and low footsteps sounded in the foggy area, and the earth trembled. Then teams of soldiers came out of the foggy area.
Under the incomparable military power, although the soldiers were all in ragged armor, and some of them were covered with tattered and dirty bandages, their murderous aura and their uniform machine-like movements made people shudder.
The general whispered: "This is called the army!"
After the groups of fighters had finished walking, in the depths of the foggy area, a pillar of original force suddenly rose up, stabbing straight into the sky.
From the main general of the fortress down to the ordinary soldiers, looking at the almost black cyan pillar of force, they all felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts, and someone whispered to themselves: "Why is the color getting darker again?"
