Blue Dragon Emperor: Lord of Thunder

Chapter 88 After the War
Long's huge and healthy dragon body stood majestically on the city wall of the capital of Bolun, and on the left and right were Golangesas and Igadios who bowed their heads slightly.

The impact of the shadow cast by the three real dragons in the setting sun is indescribable, making people bow their heads and hold their breath unconsciously.

Ron coughed lightly, and forgot the background music of "Auntie Squeeze" that sounded inexplicably in his mind, and readjusted his posture to make himself look more majestic and powerful.

In order to appease the civilians in the capital of Bolun and make them believe that the war is over, as a powerful ally of the Grand Duke of Bolun, he needs to stand up and show his own force. Can resume normal operation as soon as possible.

This is also beneficial to Long's territory. Only when Polun returns to normal will he have enough economic circulation, and he will also have enough gold coins to earn.

Looking down at the Fasciti army that had finished forming under the city wall and was turning around and marching towards the northern border, Ron glanced at the civilians in the capital of Boren who were still dazed but no longer worried.

Vinil Gogg's impassioned speech in front of the palace and castle gained him a lot of popularity. The content of the speech was covered by the amplification spell and broadcast to the whole king's capital. All the commoners could hear their Grand Duke speaking to them. Let many civilians are excited.

The beautiful and majestic real dragon on the city wall also played a good role. For the common people, the three-headed horror creatures belonged to myths and legends. They came to the capital and appeared as allies hired by their grand duke. This is enough to inspire people. .

"ended?"

Ron looked down at Venier Gogg and Ren who were wearing a fur cloak and climbing up the city wall.

Venier nodded, his tense spirit was finally able to relax after performing in front of the public and reorganizing the noble council, and negotiating with the representatives of the Fasciti Kingdom and the Duchy of Lamington with a firm and forceful attitude, allowing him to Looked extremely tired.

On this city wall, apart from Ron and his servants of the real dragon, there were only the royal guards. Vinier did not pretend to be in a bad state, and smiled helplessly: "It's over."

"It's much harder than I imagined, and it's not easy to be a Grand Duke." Venier said with emotion: "But at least it's easier than war."

"How about my family members?" Ron asked.

"Please don't worry." Venier said with a smile: "Among the royal family's enshrined mages, except those who took refuge in Creven Gogg and left directly, there is only one eight-ring high-ranking mage, and he happens to be proficient in healing. Like spells, the family members you fought bravely have received good treatment."

"However, according to the enshrined mage, your tauren family named Sauta was seriously injured. If it wasn't for the blood of the real dragon to strengthen its body and force it to hang its breath, I am afraid it would have been killed He died when the dragon-hunting crossbow was hit, and even the enshrined mage couldn't completely heal such a horrible injury, and it will take a long time to recuperate."

Hearing that Sauta and the others were fine, Ron nodded and asked, "What's the result of the reconvened council and negotiations?"

"It's a mess."

Vinier smiled wryly: "The war just ended, and the nobles immediately began to compete for each other's interests. Fortunately, this time there is enough cake to feed every noble, and finally some useful things were discussed."

Ren frowned: "They immediately forgot the days of fleeing and fighting, greedily and shamefully fighting for every gold coin and every inch of territory in the parliament, without any glory and noble character belonging to the nobility, only self-righteous Aristocratic style."

Vinier shook his head. When he was in the Principality of Lamington, the nobles beside his father also looked like this, no different from the nobles like Polun.

How can the current nobles have the glory and noble character that belong to the nobles?Hypocritical etiquette and demeanor are the only dignity left by the nobles.

Ron didn't say a word. He had expected this long ago. Under the backward feudal system of vassals and monarchs, the meaning of the existence of nobles is to hold each other back. This is a flaw in the system, and no country can avoid it.

"As for the negotiations with the Kingdom of Fasciti and the Principality of Lamington." Venier paused for a moment, then continued: "I acknowledge the contract signed by Sivan Gogg and Creven Gogg with the Kingdom of Fasciti , but some adjustments have been made to the ceded territory, and the area has also been reduced to half of the original."

"As for the Duchy of Lamington, my father gave very generous conditions. He only needs to compensate for the loss of military expenses, and exempt merchants from the Duchy of Lamington from commercial tax for ten years. He can also organize immigration and resell the excess population to me. "

He said it easily, but Venier's expression was very depressed.

The ten-year commercial tax exemption would not have much impact on the Principality of Polun in normal times, but in the Principality of Polun, apart from the southern province and the barren western province, the eastern province and the northern province have been directly merged into one. white ground.

In such a state where business tax is exempted, merchants from the Duchy of Lemington will flock to them, and quickly occupy or even monopolize all the markets of the Duchy of Polon. had to slow down.

Judging from the current situation of Bolun, it will take at least 40 years to get rid of the commercial control of the Principality of Lamington.

Vinier was still thinking about his grand duke father who showed no mercy to his own son and completely ignored family affection in front of the principality's interests, but Ron was in a happy mood.

The more merchants in Lamington come, the better. His territory needs a lot of supplies. With these merchants, all kinds of supplies can be easily bought.

Moreover, without the commercial tax collected by Bo Lun, the prices of the materials sold by these merchants will only be lower, which is good news for Long En.

And when his territory is completed and factories replace small handicraft workshops, a large number of cheap goods can quickly take over the entire Bolun market with lower prices.

For the sake of profit, there will even be merchants who will ship the goods produced in Long En's territory to Lamington for sale, and help Long En directly open up international sales.

"Then I wish you all the best and bring the entire principality back to life as soon as possible." Ron said, "My family will leave here after finishing their repairs. I will return to my territory first, and I will also need to take care of it myself."

Although nearly one-third of the land in the northern province was ceded to the Fasciti Kingdom, and Long En took away half of the land in the western province, which reduced the size of the Principality of Boren a lot, Vinier still respectfully said: "Thank you for your wishes, great true dragon."

Venier picked up the crown and saluted: "I also wish your territory prosperity."

Ron nodded, and flew towards his territory expanded dozens of times with Golangesus and Igadios.
