419 Twenty Years of Blood Earned
Compared with a few months ago, the eldest prince is less perverted and more calm. The change of role, the change of identity, will naturally bring about the change of temperament.
When he saw Beta, he smiled condescendingly, and the arrogance of the king burst out: "Long time no see, Your Excellency Beta, I heard that you have done a good job in Tonggu City."
"It's been a long time indeed, Eldest Prince." Beta walked forward slowly, and said with a smile at the same time: "You are getting more and more energetic."
"Hahaha." The eldest prince let out a hearty laugh: "Everyone calls me Your Majesty now, and only you still call me the eldest prince, which is very interesting. Your Excellency Beta, there is something, can you satisfy my request?" kind?"
Beta was a little strange: "Prince, as the future king, you should know everything. I have nothing to fill your unfathomable valley of kindness."
"It's not a big deal." The eldest prince's face was a bit teasing: "I just want to know, where have you and my little sister come to? If you have reached the point where you can talk about marriage, I can be the officiant." People, preside over the wedding ceremony for you."
It is a very dignified thing for a king to be the officiant. For some people who advocate royal power very much, the word 'glory' can even be used as a commentary. Beta understands that this is the eldest prince's gesture of favor, as the saying goes, one must ask for something, which is exactly the same as Beta's guess before coming here.
Beta smiled and said, "Prince, you seem to have something that I need to do. Just say it directly, I'm not good at talking around the bush."
"It's still so straightforward." The eldest prince waved his hand indifferently: "I'm not joking about the little sister, but the matter is important now. I did encounter some troubles. Not long ago, the envoy group I sent to the Frost Star Kingdom disappeared. And now my coronation ceremony is approaching, if the news cannot reach the Frost Star Country, and if the Frost Star Country doesn't send envoys to congratulate me, it will make Huo Levin feel very embarrassed."
The Frost Star Kingdom is Huo Levin's ally, and the grand prince's coronation ceremony cannot be justified if there is no envoy from the ally.
Beta thought for a while, then said: "To go to Frost Star Country, you have to go through Udaburi... The envoys disappeared in Udaburi Country."
"That's true." The eldest prince nodded: "Under normal circumstances, even hostile countries are not allowed to take action against envoys. This is the rule set by all races. But this time Udaburi not only did it, but also did it miraculously." Unknowingly... When the envoys were about to enter the country of Udaburi, the envoys disappeared without a trace. Because the envoys disappeared within our country, we have no reason to question them."
"The northern pass of Tonggu Town has been resisting the attack of Udaburi for more than 300 years, and it is also the place we must pass to go to Udaburi. Did the envoy disappear near the northern pass of Tonggu Town?" Beta asked suspiciously asked.
The eldest prince nodded: "It should be near there. Ever since Greenton went to the Elf Forest, Udaburi in the north is a bit ready to move."
"Then you don't have to worry." Beta said with a smile: "Greenton's daughter, Alice, can completely take over his father's military duties. Although her personal ability and strength are not as good as Greenton's, if used in military warfare, Greenton's Ton is more threatening."
The eldest prince said with some admiration: "I know this, Elf Summoner, the blood of the Greenton family is really good, I really want him to give some to our royal family."
Alice is not only a half-elf, but also a powerful professional, and now she has become a master-level powerhouse at a young age... After the news spread, almost all noble families were quite interested in her.
Of course, Emma is still the girl who loves young men the most in the country of Hollevin.
"Although Alice is powerful, her current deterrent power is indeed inferior to that of Greenton. After all, she has no real record." Beta said thoughtfully: "The envoys disappeared in the north of Tonggu Town. A test in Bronze Drum Town. The news of Greenton’s going to the Elf Forest cannot be hidden from anyone, so they really want to know what kind of color Greenton’s successor, Alice, is. , to drive apart the relationship between Frost Star Country and our Huo Levin, kill two birds with one stone."
"Your Excellency is indeed very smart. You can understand these things." The eldest prince said with admiration, "You are the only young nobleman with a sense of politics and strong strength in the whole of Holevin."
Beta waved his hand: "Prince, don't flatter me, so you asked me this time because you want me to help you find out where the missions are missing?"
The eldest prince nodded slightly: "This is just one of them. The other thing is, I hope you can serve as the head of the new round of missions and help me go to the Frost Star Cluster. You must help me deliver the official diplomatic letter within one month. to King Froststar."
Beta thought for a while: "I can be the head of the envoy, but what can I get."
"Isn't it too vulgar to talk about remuneration for doing things for the kingdom?" The eldest prince said with a righteous face.
Beta smiled and said, "I'm not your retainer."
The feudal kingdom has a characteristic, the lord is essentially one of the masters of the kingdom. The king is the unified lord, or the person who leads the lord. In essence, he is also the lord, but the title is different.
The relationship between king and lord is a subordinate relationship, not a servant relationship. Usually the lord pays taxes to the royal family, obeys the dispatch of the royal family, participates in wars, internal affairs and other actions, but if the lord feels that some orders of the king are unreasonable, he can refuse.
The eldest prince sighed slightly, and said without a mark: "Okay, what reward do you want? Money, power, or Emma?"
"I want 50 years of tax exemption for wetlands." Beta said lightly.
"This is impossible!" The eldest prince's voice suddenly increased: "Taxing taxes is the responsibility of every lord, and it cannot be changed."
Beta said in a calm tone: "But the wetland is poor and empty now, and there are no people. You can't collect taxes if you want. It will take me at least 50 years to build the wetland into a qualified city."
"Under the laws of the kingdom, each lord needs to pay a basic tax of two hundred gold coins every year. And the commercial tax and agricultural tax have to be paid according to the number of people in the territory." The eldest prince snorted: "This is not a small amount, You want to avoid taxes for 50 years in one sentence, isn't it too beautiful."
Beta thought for a while: "These forty years."
"Ten years!" The eldest prince patted the armrest of the throne: "No more."
Beta thought for a while, and said, "Thirty years, nothing less. The development of a territory takes time, and I think you, the eldest prince, understand very well."
The eldest prince closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said with a gloomy face: "Twenty years, no more. If you don't agree, I'll find someone else to do this, such as Emma."
Beta sighed pretendingly: "Okay, twenty years, twenty years, nothing can be done in twenty years, but mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are, so save as much as you can, I agree."
Looking at Beta's terribly fake expression, the eldest prince suddenly felt that he seemed to be losing money in this business
