"Naturally something is going on, otherwise I won't bother you at this time!" Rainer knocked on the table with a smile.

Today's meeting was a very formal conversation, so it was not full of ingredients like the banquet held a few days ago. There was only a glass of light ale in front of everyone.

Everyone took their seats, wanting to hear what Rainer had to say.

"You are like this, just as I said before, the interests of our royal family should be protected, and at the same time I am willing to pay something for the increase of our royal family's strength!"

Hearing this, the royal lords raised their spirits and looked at Rainer.

"The upstarts are becoming more and more arrogant with the support of the queen, and the law prohibiting private fights made by the old emperor's majesty at the time may already exist in name only!"

Rainer tapped the table lightly, and the rest of the lords couldn't help frowning.

They also thought in their hearts. In fact, as Leiner said, because of the weakening of the royal family, they have lost the restraint on all regions, and most importantly, the power of the royal lords who most support the old emperor’s decree has been greatly reduced. , Even if it wants to uphold those laws, it is not enough.

The lords everywhere have disputes over their own interests. After losing the imperial family, the greatest deterrent, and the powerful law enforcers of the royal lords, I am afraid that a war of interests will be waged everywhere.

"There were a lot of conflicts of interest between us and those upstarts..."

The faces of the royal lords became more solemn, and Rainer was right. They had always had such worries.

The royal lords lost too much in the last counterinsurgency war, and have lost their original deterrent power, while the upstarts have expanded their strength under the favor of the queen.

Once they are greedy and want more territory and benefits, private wars between them are very likely to occur.

Although the royal lords are still supporters of the royal rule, from the previous queen's behavior, she does not seem to care about the interests of these royal lords being violated, and she is even one of the infringers.

Thinking of these, a sense of crisis could not help but rise from the bottom of everyone's heart.

"Duke Rainer is right, we have to be guarded!" The Earl of Pushtown groaned and nodded.

The Duke of Antar said with great conviction: "Indeed, those people can do anything!"

As the son of Grand Duke Mabra, Antar, who had just inherited the title of Duke, also considered a lot. He was also one of the protectors of the royal family's interests.

"So? Earl Rainer, what do you think we should do?" The Duke of Antare looked at Rainer. He knew that today Rainer must have the idea for the lord summoning the lords.

Reiner smiled and glanced at everyone, and then said: "I mean, those of us who have the same bloodline should watch each other. One side is in difficulty and all parties support, so that the upstarts have no opportunity to take advantage of!"

"Huh! Do you still need to say this? We will do it naturally. If there is no better way, you should stop saying it. Every one of us can do it!"

Earl Von Lence was obviously still worried about what happened yesterday, and said to Leiner with a cold snort.

"Of course it's not just that!" Reiner didn't get annoyed after being questioned, and continued: "I mean, we should deepen our cooperation with each other and help each other!"

"What do you want to do?" The Earl of Pushtown seemed to have thought of something, and asked Leiner expectantly.

"I intend to sell the steel and iron armor from the North Territory from the current price to 50%. No matter who it is, as long as you are present, you are willing to buy the steel and iron armor from the North Territory at the price of 50%! "

"What do you think?" Rainer looked at the royal lords confidently.

He didn't believe that such a great thing could be rejected by this group of people.

Rainer's condition was like a blockbuster thrown into the crowd, which immediately triggered their discussion.

Iron and steel produced in the north has always been in short supply. There are only a handful of small iron ore on such a huge piece of land in the entire Redka Empire except for the north, and the quality is not good.

Therefore, almost all the steel used in the entire empire came from the north.

Therefore, the Northern Territory was cut off from the imperial capital by Earl Zhebo before, so that the imperial capital was so nervous.

And the 50% price reduction now means that you can buy the same amount of steel as before at half the price, or you can buy twice the amount of steel at the same price.

This means that they can be armed with more armored soldiers and have more powerful regular troops, so that their self-protection capabilities are much stronger than before.

Seeing these excited royal lords, Rainer couldn't help showing a triumphant expression.

Although the price has been reduced, Rainer's income will not necessarily decrease. His steel is the only one in the empire without a semicolon. The imperial capital and the upstart also need steel.

The price is lowered here, but if it is a big deal, the price will be raised there. Anyway, I have expressed dissatisfaction with the imperial capital before. At this time, it is logical to increase the price of steel.

"Ahem..." Rainer coughed slightly, interrupting the discussion of the royal lord.

The royal lords stopped a round, and then set their eyes on him.

"You also know that the recent agricultural development in the northern border is very good, so in addition to steel, I am willing to export food to you!"

The export of grain did not cause any sensation. After all, everyone’s territory produces grain, and no one is willing to spend too much money to buy these things that are grown in their territory.

"No problem, Earl Rainer, your proposal is great! You are indeed a descendant of Morland!"

The royal lords began to wear high hats to Lena~lightnovelpub.net~ to sing praises.

However, it is impossible for Reiner to pay without asking for rewards. He continued: "Of course, for us to be strong together, I propose to exempt all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes except business taxes when targeting businessmen in our territories. , And tolls!"

"This will not only promote commercial activities in our territory, but also increase our commercial income. What do you think?"

After these royal lords thought for a while, they nodded in agreement.

In fact, quite a few of them don't understand the meaning of toll cancellation, only that it is an additional condition of Reiner.

"So, is the alliance between us now reached?" Rainer said with a smile.

The royal lords glanced at each other, and then nodded one after another: "Yes, Duke Rainer, you represent the interests of our royal family from today! We will unite around you and obey your orders!"

"Very good! I will protect everyone's interests! I will lead you to fight against the **** upstarts! Maintain the glory of the Moland family!"
