Chapter 615 Undercurrent
In the depths of the imperial palace in the central area of ​​the Emerald City, the capital of the Emerald Kingdom, in a side hall, Long Kun, the emperor of the Emerald Kingdom, and Wang Tianyu, Li Hongtao, and Xu Hao, the patriarchs of the three major families of the Emerald Kingdom, sat facing each other.

"Everyone, Andy City is developing very fast. In just four years, it has grown from a small city with a population of more than [-] to a large city with a population of one million. It has become the wealthiest city in our Emerald Country. How do you feel?" Long Kun, dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat casually on a comfortable armchair, looking at Wang Tianyu, Li Hongtao, and Xu Hao with a calm expression.

The rapid development of Andy City has stimulated Long Kun's nerves, especially in Andy City, which has expanded the city guard army from 5000 to [-] in just four years. This made Long Kun very upset, and he was full of vigilance towards Andy City. You must know that even Emerald City, the imperial capital of the Emerald Kingdom, only has [-] city guards. Andy City, a newly developed city, has [-] troops Mingcheng Weijun, isn't this provoking him, the emperor of the Emerald Kingdom!

At the same time, the 1000 city guards in Andy City are all equipped with weapons and equipment produced by Zhao's weapon shop. The wholesale price given to merchants by the Arms Shop is also worth more than [-] taels of silver.

In addition to the fact that each soldier is equipped with weapons and equipment worth thousands of taels of silver, the City Guard Army of Andy City also conducts rigorous military training every day. , even the fighting power of the Emerald Kingdom's standing army must be higher than that of Andy City's city guards.

Of course, these are not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the city guards of Andy City receive loyalty education every day, finally accept the loyalty education of the Zhao family, and become the private soldiers of the Zhao family. This is absolutely unbearable for Long Kun .

An army with strong fighting power, abundant resources, and finally other families is absolutely unbearable to Long Kun. Therefore, Long Kun plans to unite the three major families to destroy the Zhao family and eradicate the Zhao family's threat to the royal family.

"Your Majesty, the Zhao family now has 7 private soldiers and 7 city guards, adding up to a total of [-] armed forces! The [-] armed forces are extremely powerful and will pose a great threat to the security of the empire. , Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty remove the armed forces of the Zhao family, and bring Andy City under the control of the empire, so that the empire will have one more wealth center and increase the strength and heritage of the empire!" As soon as Long Kun's voice fell, Li Hongtao hurriedly Said loudly.

The rapid development of Andy City has had a great impact on the Li family's arms business, making Li Hongtao extremely uneasy!At the same time, the rapid development of Andy City and the huge wealth contained in Andy City also made Li Hongtao very excited. He wanted to use the power of the empire to take over Andy City, so as to raise the strength of the Li family to a higher level.

"Your Majesty, the rapid development of Andy City is closely related to the Zhao family. Without the existence of the Zhao family, Andy City would not have such a rapid development! However, the development speed of Andy City is too fast, and the Zhao family's The heart is too big, to equip the city guards of Andy City with valuable high-quality weapons, fully arm the city guards of Andy City, and practice day and night for the city guards of Andy City, so that the city guards of Andy City have extraordinary combat effectiveness.

At this time, the combat effectiveness of the city guards in Andy City had already exceeded the security needs of Andy City, but the Zhao family still wanted to continue recruiting the city guards. It was obvious that they had disobedience to the empire and rebellion. Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty make up his mind early and suppress the Zhao family, so as to prevent the Zhao family from rebelling and causing heavy losses to the empire.

From my point of view, the foundation of the Zhao family lies in the steel factory and the arsenal, and the foundation of the steel factory and the arsenal lies in the advanced alchemy and metallurgy techniques. Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty take the advanced alchemy and metallurgy techniques owned by the Zhao family as State-owned, so that the empire can have advanced alchemy and metallurgy techniques, so that all the standing legions of the empire are equipped with high-quality weapons, which in turn greatly increases the national power and strength of the empire. As soon as Li Hongtao's voice fell, Xu Hao said loudly.

In the past four years, although the Xu family has earned a lot of money from the Zhao family and acquired a large number of high-quality weapons, the Xu family has not been able to develop advanced alchemy and metallurgy techniques, and has been subject to the Zhao family. Xu Hao, the head of the Xu family, was very dissatisfied, and wanted to use the strength of the empire to obtain advanced alchemy and metallurgy techniques from the Zhao family.

"Your Majesty, the Zhao family uses advanced alchemy and metallurgy techniques to manufacture high-quality weapons, and sells them to various countries, especially to the neighboring countries of the empire, such as the Liuli country, Tian Hongguo, etc., which greatly increases the strength of the neighboring countries of the empire. , poses a great threat to the empire, which is absolutely not allowed by the empire. The empire must severely punish the Zhao family, state-owned the advanced alchemy and metallurgy techniques of the Zhao family, remove Zhao Kun from the position of Andy City, and transfer Andy City to the state. It is under the control of the empire, and all the properties and properties of the Zhao family in Andy City will be confiscated!" As soon as Xu Hao's voice fell, Wang Tianyu said loudly.

For four years, the Wang family has been using the businessmen under its command to carry out extensive business cooperation with the Zhao family, earning huge profits from it!However, it is because the Wang family has made huge profits from the cooperation of the Zhao family, and let the Wang family know that the Zhao family must earn ten times or dozens of times the wealth of the Wang family. Take it for yourself.

Hearing the words of Li Hongtao, Xu Hao, and Wang Tianyu, Long Kun revealed a faint smile, knowing that the power of the Zhao family had made the three major families vigilant and wanted to destroy the Zhao family.At the same time, the wealth of the Zhao family also aroused the greed of the three major families, wanting to destroy the Zhao family and take the wealth of the Zhao family for themselves.

After knowing the thoughts of the three major families and knowing that the three major families have common goals and interests with him, Long Kun smiled slightly: "The strength of the Zhao family in Andy City is not weak, we can't just use the strong, that will make the The huge turmoil and chaos in the empire is extremely detrimental to the empire, so I am going to use the method of oppressing others to force the Zhao family to submit and achieve our goal, what do you guys think?"

Xu Hao, Li Hongtao, and Wang Tianyu all knew that the current Zhao family wanted money and people, and it was not easy to deal with, so they all nodded in agreement with Long Kun's idea, and began to discuss with Long Kun about the distribution of benefits after the Zhao family was destroyed.

In the depths of the imperial palace of the Liuli Kingdom, the neighboring country of the Emerald Kingdom, in a small conference hall, the emperor of the Liuli Kingdom and his colleagues from Tianhong Kingdom, Feishui Kingdom, Tianheng Kingdom, Anning Kingdom, Crescent Fruit Kingdom, Tianyin Kingdom, Roman Kingdom, and Liuhuo Kingdom Envoys, gather together and sit opposite each other.

"Everyone, welcome to our Liuli Kingdom! I don't know if you have been fully authorized by the emperors of the countries you live in, and have the right to conclude alliances?" Liu Fei, the emperor of the Liuli Kingdom, was sitting on the throne, with a calm expression on his face. Looking at the envoys from the other eight countries, he asked softly.

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by our Emperor Tian Hongguo, and I have the right to conclude an alliance!"

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of Feishui Kingdom, and I have the right to conclude a covenant!"

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of Tianheng Kingdom, and I have the right to conclude a covenant!"

"Your Majesty, I have received full authorization from His Majesty the Emperor of the Anning Kingdom, and I have the right to conclude a covenant!"

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of the New Moon Kingdom, and I have the right to conclude a covenant!"

"Your Majesty, I have received full authorization from His Majesty the Emperor of Tianyin Kingdom, and I have the right to conclude an alliance!"

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of the Roman Kingdom, and I have the right to conclude a covenant!"

"Your Majesty, I have been fully authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of the Liuhuo Nation, and I have the right to conclude a covenant!"

As soon as Liu Fei, the emperor of the Liuli Kingdom, spoke, the envoys from the other eight countries responded loudly, and took out a piece of paper printed by the emperors of each country from their arms, indicating that they were fully authorized by their own emperors to sign the covenant.

"Since I have the full authorization of the emperors of various countries, let's discuss the joint capture of the Emerald Nation! Needless to say, everyone knows that in the past four years, the Jade Nation has used the advanced alchemy of the Zhao family in Andy City And metallurgical crafts have obtained massive wealth from our nine countries, causing a large outflow of gold and silver from our nine countries, which has dealt a heavy blow to the economy of our nine countries. For the economic security of our nine countries, we must unite , Recover our losses from the Emerald Nation,,,, "After seeing the envoys of the other eight countries, after receiving full authorization from the emperors of each country, Liu Fei, the emperor of the Liuli Kingdom, immediately stated loudly the serious impact of the Emerald Nation on their nine countries.

Hearing the words of Emperor Liu Fei of the Liuli Kingdom, the envoys from the other eight countries showed a hint of disdainful smile.The Nine Kingdoms joined forces to deal with the Emerald Kingdom, but it was not as nice as Liu Fei, the emperor of the Liuli Kingdom, just wanted to use force to obtain the advanced alchemy and metallurgy techniques from the Zhao family in Andy City, so as to have the ability to manufacture high-quality weapons in large quantities. ability only.

As for capturing the Emerald Country, it is easy to do!After all, the combined strength of the nine countries has long surpassed the Emerald Nation by many times, and they can easily capture the Jade Nation, gaining some land, population, and wealth while acquiring advanced alchemy and metallurgy techniques.
