Lord of War

The Void City is becoming more and more prosperous now. Although its geographical location is not ideal, as the first city of Sean Connery, the Lord of Panda, he has put a lot of effort into it. For this reason, Neil They even spared tens of thousands of gold coins to build roads, completely opening up the roads of Hongye Town and Iron Wings Training Camp (formerly Panda Town), and even went all the way to Yida Ling.

Of course, with the exception of Chirav Territory, any road leading to the Void City in Sean's Territory, no matter whether it is direct or indirect, has basically been completed. For this reason, William even specially formulated a patrol force to regularly clean up and rectify potential hazards that may appear on these roads and the surrounding areas. As a result, a large number of businessmen flowed into the Void City from far away.

The only pity is that the Void City, or the entire Pandaland, has not yet received the level evaluation of the Pan-Continental Alliance, so no chamber of commerce that has joined the Pan-Continental Alliance has come here to invest. Invisibly, the income of the Panda Territory is naturally much less. At present, the income of the entire territory is mainly dependent on taxation and some special products from a large amount of grain planting and Hongye Town. If the Dailing was well managed and more profitable, I am afraid that with the current strength of more than 20,000 troops under Xiao En's command, he would have already gone bankrupt.

The issue of income has indeed become a top priority for the entire territory.

But in any case, this is only a problem of the entire territory after all, not a problem of Void City.

Therefore, the Void City is rapidly prospering in a situation that is comparable to deformity.

But at this moment, in a certain room of the lord's mansion in the Void City, there was an extremely fierce quarrel, and the quarrel was getting more and more intense. It's on.

Just looking at the usual appearance of the soldiers stationed outside the door, one can know that the situation may not be that bad.

In fact, when this happened on the first day, the guards really looked like they were facing an enemy, and even broke open the door and rushed in. However, with the lengthening of the days, these guards are now completely calm, because this kind of quarrel happens almost every day—the quarrel starts in the morning and lasts until lunch time, and then it will start again in the afternoon. Tea time started late at night with quarreling, and the time has lasted for ten days.

In the past ten days, the talks in the conference room have not gone smoothly.

The guards didn't understand these things, they only knew that the people who came to talk about it were members of the Pancontinental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and that the Void City, which arrived more than half a month ago, launched an extremely fierce momentum as soon as it arrived. Commander William nodded his head. And when the conversation was coming to an end, Neil Administrative Officer finally came back, and all the guards and soldiers who saw Neil Administrative Officer that day will never forget that scene.

The first rays of the morning sun shine and fall.

When the city gate slowly opened, what came oncoming was a horse-drawn carriage that was so bloody and disgusting that the whole carriage was completely stained red with blood. Abnormally ferocious and terrifying.

The driver was a black-armored guard with a broken arm, and there were seventeen black-armored cavalry guarding beside the carriage. However, almost all of these soldiers were wounded, and the coachman with only one broken arm looked like these black-armored guards. Among the cavalrymen who were surrounded by the carriage, several of them had even fallen into a coma.

Seeing this scene in front of them, the guards of the city gate were shocked immediately.

Because judging from the attire and markings of these black armored cavalry, there is no doubt that they are the newly formed heavy cavalry unit, the dark wings, which were ordered by Commander William himself a few months ago. It’s just that in the previous wars that broke out in the territory, the casualty rate of this heavy cavalry unit was too high. More than 700 people were killed in the whole battle, and even the designation was almost cancelled. Therefore, after the war ended, this heavy cavalry unit In fact, it is in a state of rest and rectification.

It was not until two months ago that Commander William appointed Dayi to escort Consul Neil back.

These guards counted the time, and the black wings should have arrived in the Void City within a few days, but they did not expect to see such a terrifying scene in front of them. What kind of attack did they encounter? Will it become like this? However, as a mercenary regiment in the past, I have never seen the days of blood licking, so after a shock, the superior commander quickly issued an order to go out of the city immediately to protect the team and the carriage entering the city, and at the same time Immediately inform Commander William.

The pitch-black wings of 300 people, after this battle, I am afraid that the designation and organization will also be cancelled!

It is not an auspicious symbol in any case for a force whose establishment and designation were canceled less than half a year ago.

So when Neil got down from Ma Feng, his eyes were already extremely cold.

And what happened next is even more incomprehensible to many people, because when Neil took over the negotiation work with the Pancontinental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, he actually showed a completely different indifference and strength from before. He refused to back down even for a small profit, and even added many conditions that were only beneficial to himself in many actual trade negotiations, especially in the territory's import and export duties, and directly adopted a tax-based system , while imposing a road tax.

You must know that in the trade system reached by the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce with any country, tariffs are based on the ratio of vehicles. That is to say, no matter how much goods are loaded in a horse-drawn carriage, only the tariff of one horse-drawn carriage is charged, and if you just pass by and do not carry out any trade and commercial activities in the territory, then the territory or country will not even Charge any fees back to the Continental Chamber of Commerce Union.

It is precisely because of this that since Neil's return, the negotiations with the Pangea Chamber of Commerce Alliance have immediately stalled.

"The requirements you said are too harsh, and I can't agree to them." A middle-aged man with a mustache growled in the conference room, "At present, the territories and countries that have signed trade cooperation contracts with our chamber of commerce alliance are almost all over the continent. , and no one adopts the method of collecting taxes according to quantity. Now I have made the decision to agree to your request, but you actually charge 10% of the market purchase price per kilogram of goods!"

If the purchase price of a kilogram of goods is one gold coin, then the ten percent charge is one silver coin. This amount may not seem large, but you must know that it is absolutely impossible for a carriage carrying goods to hold only one kilogram of supplies. Usually, at least five kilograms to one ton of supplies can be loaded, which is equivalent to paying five silver coins to one Gold coins, but the problem is that the purchase price per kilogram of many important materials and goods can never be just one gold coin, and it may even be ten gold coins or one hundred gold coins. Then this tax is very terrible.

In other places, for the trucks returning to the Continental Chamber of Commerce Union, regardless of the size and the cargo they are carrying, the customs duty is one gold coin for small trucks, five gold coins for medium trucks, and ten gold coins for large trucks.

"You don't have to agree." Neil stared at the other party with a cold face, and said with a sneer, "Anyway, our territory does not produce any good materials at present, so you don't need to make a deal with us."

"You!" The eyes of the man with mustache turned red instantly.

"We agree to this request." At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked no younger than the man with the mustache said in a deep voice.

Neil turned his head and stared at him coldly.

In the past ten days, this middle-aged man has been in charge of watching and recording, never interjected, and has been very low-key, so that Neil has almost forgotten his existence in the last few days, but Unexpectedly, he is actually the one who can really make decisions and decide all matters during this half-talk. It has been a long time since Neil lost a lot of power due to emotional interference. Of course, he knew that he might miss many important information and clues because of this. If he doesn't care about the trade negotiations with the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, he has already lost a series of negotiations.

However, as long as he thinks that eighteen members of the dark wing troops protecting him are dead, and there are so many disabled and seriously injured, Neil can't calm down no matter what.

After talking with Abis that day, Neil came up with a plan. Anyway, with the protection of these two people, and they also showed absolute strength, Neil let the black wings rush back to the Void City first, to avoid Staff will be reduced due to possible dangers and accidents. However, he never thought that the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance would be so frenzied that it almost slaughtered the entire pitch-black wing. If it wasn't for Dex's smell of blood and strong fluctuations, the pitch-black wing might It is impossible even for the last eighteen people to stay.

Thinking of this, it is naturally impossible for Neil to give these Pangea chamber of commerce alliance any good looks.

"We have agreed to this condition, so can I ask Consul Neil to make some concessions?" The middle-aged man put down the quill in his hand and said politely, "Perhaps on some matters, Some people in the chamber of commerce have gone too far, but we don't have any malicious intentions."

"Businessmen are all about profit. If there is not enough profit, it is absolutely impossible to use some extreme methods." Neil sneered, "Anyway, my requirements and conditions are already here, if you think If you can’t accept it, you don’t have to sign a contract with us at all.”

The middle-aged man took off his glasses, and covered up the flash of anger in his eyes by wiping his glasses: "Is this what Sir Connery meant?"

"Your Majesty has already handed over the full authority to me, so you don't need to worry. Your Majesty will support my decision." Neil replied coldly.

"I understand." The middle-aged man put on his glasses, his voice had become a bit cold, "I don't know when Sir Connery will come back, there are some things I want to discuss with him face to face. The impact of this incident It is very large, and I am afraid that it is not something that Consul Neil can represent, after all, it is related to the interests and layout of the entire chamber of commerce alliance."

The middle-aged man especially emphasized "the interests and layout of the chamber of commerce alliance." It was an answer to Neil's previous words of "pursue profit".

"It may take one or two months for the lord to return." Neil said softly, "However, I think there is no need to continue negotiating about the wild land. Land, very interested, and after all, someone was the first to break the rules."

"Oh?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows.

Neil didn't speak, but just clapped his hands, and soon someone brought in two boxes. [This text is provided by Qihang Update Group @偶世尊尊] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. ) Bring @杀杀杀跳舞
