What kind of country is the Saxony Kingdom in the eyes of the top giants in the free city?

If you look at it according to Yalin's thinking, there are quite a few poor, war-torn, but buried numerous treasures under the earth like the Middle East local oil-producing countries in the original world. However, it is even more tragic than the Saxony Kingdom, which is a big oil-producing country in the original world. At least the oil-producing countries in the Yalinyuan world, as long as they are willing to listen to the dispatch of the big countries, lose some of the country's dignity and diplomacy. Life is pretty good. Of course, there are also a few thorny heads that explode every day under the interference of a beacon power that is written as a police read as a rogue.

However, the Saxony Kingdom has not been able to spend the money of these local oil-producing countries, because being trapped by the Ogg barbarians not only has no technology, but also seriously lacks manpower, and even the first-level artificial mining cannot be formed, resulting in the entire country. It has been caught in a vicious circle, and even the kings of all ages have not seen any improvement in how they worked hard.

At least in the eyes of Lawrence, this country in the extreme north is too weak. If it were not for them to block the Ogg barbarians, the wealth owned by this country would have become the big three in the free city. Chinese food, and now all I have to do is cut out the largest piece of cake to become my possessions.

However, ideals are always plump, and reality is always backbone. Lawrence ate a closed door of the Kingdom of Saxony this time.

In the large conference room of the royal palace, the main members of the Saxon royal family, including the king, are concentrated here. They are holding a negotiation with the president of the most powerful chamber of commerce in the free city, which will determine the future cooperation of the country. In order to keep the entire conference room secret, Completely isolated by the enchantment, no one other than the participants could hear any news from here.

"I don't understand what you mean, Your Majesty, do you think that the free city and the countries each year give less material support to your country?" Lawrence asked with a pair of gold-glasses in surprise to the king.

"Mr. Lawrence, you got it wrong, after our country reached a transport agreement with the Kingdom of Belama. The material reserves are no longer as tight as before. What our country needs now is to re-energize the national economy and restore its national strength as soon as possible."

The old King Rhodeland said tepidly at the top of the conference table, but Lawrence frowned constantly about His Majesty's meaning. Just now, Lawrence has tentatively proposed more than one time to hope for the mining rights of the Saxony Kingdom, but the old king played a delay card for Lawrence. He ignored the hint of Lawrence and even proposed to Lawrence to increase the support for the Kingdom of Saxony and The opening of more advanced weapons to Saxony's exports seemed uninteresting.

Lawrence did not think that the old man in front of him did not understand what he meant. Obviously, the other party did not want to sell the mineral exploitation rights, and was not even interested in understanding their own asking prices. This is really weird. Are these barbarians living in the snow going to hug a golden mountain to continue starving?

The old king cleared his throat and watched Lawrence's complexion change several times. Soon the king said solemnly, "Did you know? Mr. Lawrence! Sometimes as a king, I can't just look at the benefits in front of me, I must let go Farsightedness leaves enough survival resources for future generations of our Saxons. We need 'fish' but even more 'fishing'! Incompetence can be exhausted when more support is needed, not only because we are satisfied, but now we do n’t care about our children and grandchildren. Future generations, so Mr. Lawrence, I ca n’t promise ~ you ~~~ articles ~! "

Lawrence's eyes became sharp for a moment. The chairman of the chamber of commerce in the free city had heard the meaning of the king.

┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉

The mission stayed in the residence. Lawrence, who was deadlocked in today ’s negotiations, sits and sits in a bad look. The maid standing in the room under a strange atmosphere is even more afraid to come out. Everyone is trying to shrink their bodies. They have tried to avoid being caught by Lawrence. see. Obviously the maids were very clear, Mr. Lawrence today was in a very bad mood!

A moment later, Lawrence instructed the female assistant Kaiman Susana, "Let's check, what are the chambers of commerce and countries that have recently had large-scale transactions with the Kingdom of Saxony!"

"I understand, sir, do you think that the Saxony Kingdom has another candidate for ore mining?"

"I'm sure!" Lawrence nodded and called a waitress to pour himself a glass of wine: "Someone must be ahead of us to take the mineral rights of the Saxony kingdom. I need to know who did it!"

The middle-aged mage standing behind Lawrence thought about it. Although the mage is not a businessman, he still understands some things in the business circle: "The Chamber of Blackstone Chamber of Commerce! Closside has recently purchased a lot of slaves and sent them to the Saxony Kingdom. It may be that he has reached a cooperation agreement with the Kingdom of Saxony. "

"I know!"

Lawrence nodded and drank the wine from the glass. Now, in addition to the Ring of Black Stone, Lawrence can't think that outsiders will openly oppose themselves, but there is one thing that needs to be made clear to Lawrence.

"In addition to the Black Circle Chamber of Commerce. There are other chambers of commerce or organizations conducting large-scale transactions with the Kingdom of Saxony!"

food! The lack of food in the extreme northern part of the Kingdom of Saxony has always plagued this country. Although the Kingdom of Saxony will receive food from neighboring Belama every year, it can only meet part of the demand. The remaining food gap requires the mainland countries to provide material assistance or Buy from a free city. Grain has also become a heavyweight chip for businessmen in the Free City when negotiating the Saxony Kingdom, but this year has been unusual. The reason is that the unstoppable snowstorm has saved the Kingdom of Saxony from two wars, and the recent large-scale acquisition of slaves has also greatly increased the population of this country in recent times!

The population has increased, but the Kingdom of Saxony's food purchase quota in the free city has not increased. Obviously, the Kingdom of Saxony has found a new food supply channel. And every channel that Lawrence can think of that could supply food to Saxony would not be possible if you think about it. Because he has been desperately trying to get the Saxony Kingdom ’s nearly trillion trillion lyn of mineral mining rights, Lawrence has been using food as a bargaining chip to gradually pressure the Kingdom of Saxony, while also strictly monitoring the amount of food inflow into this country Avoid bad plans. Although the Saxony Kingdom imports part of its food to Belama every year, the total food production of the Belama Kingdom is unlikely to cover the needs of the entire Saxony Kingdom, and it is not possible for several large merchants in the free city to supply food without permission. Provide additional food to the Kingdom of Saxony. This will not bring much gain and will offend myself as the chairman of the chamber of commerce.

It is true that Closside used the small chambers and shell chambers under the Blackstone Circle Chamber of Commerce to buy a large number of slaves, but there was no large-scale purchase of grain. The Holy Capital and the Holy See are also the objects of great suspicion, especially the Western Mainland, which is governed by the Holy Capital. Recently, the Western Continental countries have been preparing new business cities. They have clearly opposed the free city. Now they are attracting the Kingdom of Saxony as a bridgehead to the east. It is also possible. It is just that the cost of transporting food from the western part of the mainland is too high, and ground transportation also bears a huge risk. Lawrence does not think that the Holy Capital and the countries of the western continent can be generous to this extent!

Holy See! Lawrence thought for a long time but finally denied it. The Holy See wanted to expand the faith in the Saxony kingdom to squeeze out the holy capital. The transportation cooperation agreement recently reached with Saxony and Bellama was also completed with the Holy See's assistance. But if the Holy See wants to use the grain to win over the Saxony kingdom, and as long as the Holy See shows its own signature on the purchase of grain, let alone other businessmen, Lawrence himself has to weigh the gains and losses against this behemoth. However, although the Holy See's purchase of food cannot be prevented, it should at least be able to obtain information on the Holy See's large-scale purchase of food, and the problem is that Lawrence did not get any relevant information at all!

Moreover, food is not used for other commodities. Whether humans or elves need food as long as they are living creatures, the amount of food has always been regarded as a measuring instrument to measure whether the situation on the mainland is stable. Grain price fluctuations caused by the quality of the harvest every year will be paid special attention by Lawrence, and this year's market prices have not changed significantly.

"I really can't figure out who else can supply food to the Saxony Palace on such a large scale in secret. We must know that supplying a city and supplying food for a whole country are two concepts. This is by no means a small country or a small businessman. What can be done. "Lawrence thought about holding his forehead for a long time but found any valuable clues, and the channels that can be thought of were denied.

"Mr. Lawrence, maybe we can investigate the transportation situation in recent years ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ In the process of transporting so much grain, we should rely on the transportation team of the Chamber of Commerce to find some clues."

Kayman Susana put forward a suggestion, Lawrence nodded and agreed, his chamber of commerce mainly monopolized the transportation industry of the eastern continent, so much grain was transported in a cross-cut relationship. The other party would leave some clues. . But the speed must be fast, and they must dare to deal with each other before the Kingdom of Saxony solves the food problem. Otherwise, they will lose a huge chip that puts pressure on Saxony. More than ten years of hard work may be missed. This is by no means Lawrence. To the end.

What if you can't find the origin of the problem?

There was a glimmer of haze in Lawrence's eyes, and it is probably too late to support the opposition. The Kingdom of Saxony has waged perennial wars with the Ogg barbarians. Under the threat of war and survival, this country maintains a high degree of unity, whether it is nobles or civilians. It is the minister in the royal palace that is extremely loyal to the royal family, and it is impossible to support the opposition in more than ten years!

If it was something else, even Lawrence, chairman of the Free City Chamber of Commerce, couldn't think of a better way. (To be continued ...)
