My name is Ren

Chapter 358 Everyone Has Endless Difficulties, Behind Every Mistake, There Is Often a Last Resort
Sipping the bitter green tea, Sistine put down the teacup calmly. It was the third time he drank the green tea, and he still couldn't get used to it.Green tea is different from other beverages. Blenders always use various methods to neutralize the "astringency" in the taste and make the drink smooth.The bitterness in green tea is not the key to whether people like it, but the "astringency" is.Before Rennes arrived, he had already drank it twice, and this was the third time. He still felt that the moment the green tea entered his mouth, it was as if countless small knives were scraping his tongue and throat, and it was terribly astringent.

He glanced at Ren, who had a special liking for green tea, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, different people naturally have their own differences.

"The reason and purpose of your coming to Demaragu this time, I have learned through some channels." Sistine was thinking about how to make his words more simple. Before Rennes came, he already had two belly case.But after seeing Ren, he felt that those two secret cases could be thrown into the trash.If you don't face this young man and use your truest feelings to understand his differences, you will never be able to judge this person in a speculative way.

"Many people may think that we sold some things to the ice barbarians, which is a betrayal of the empire. There is actually a misunderstanding in this." Sistine's words made Renn's eyes shrink slightly, and he looked at it with a smile without saying a word. Looking at this guy, I want to see what he has to say, "In the imperial capital, no, in the entire empire, at least [-]% of the things that the nobles love come from the ice field. For example, the brains of ancient giant beasts, I don't know Have you ever tasted that the demand for this kind of thing among the noble class is far greater than the demand for Dragon Island smoke bricks."

"Each head of an ancient giant beast can extract about [-] grams of animal brain, and [-] grams of animal brain can be used about [-] times. This kind of animal brain is a very wonderful thing. When you Once you have tasted it, you will never forget it. Many people, very many people..." Sistine spread his hands and made a big gesture, "We are all supplying it, including the royal family."

"In addition, all kinds of animal skins, animal bones, animal meat, animal blood, crystal flower petals from the ice field, branches of the moon spirit tree... I can name at least three things casually. Forty kinds of special products that only the ice field has, and all of these special products are what the empire needs. At least we have tried to get these things through ordinary trade methods, but it is useless. You may think that the ice field is a piece of land Desolation, but this land that is always covered by ice and snow can produce enough for the ice barbarians to consume and use."

"If you want to get these things, you have to exchange what they don't have and what they need urgently." Sistine slowed down his speech, took a sip of his teacup, and moistened his somewhat dry throat, "Steel , custom-made armor, large quantities of food, and... Tiberium spar. Among the items traded each year, 90.00% of the items are consumed by the nobles, and 5.00% are used by other people, such as those giant."

"These people control the empire through power and commerce, and they are the masters of the empire in the actual sense. To say a very rude thing, if Her Majesty the Queen of the Imperial Capital leaves the Imperial Capital, maybe she is nothing!", Sistine Wang Looking at Ren, he asked: "Do you still think that my friends and I smuggle and sell these things just for ourselves or money? Honorable Earl Ren, the vest you are wearing now, the animal skins you use are all from This piece of land is even circulated through my hands and channels.”

This is a person with great communication skills. Sistine did not talk about the dangers that would be brought to the empire by transporting some sensitive materials to the ice sheet. He only said what value the smuggled goods brought to the empire.He secretly changed a concept, describing betrayal as giving.Of course, the words are not entirely wrong. The things on the ice field are indeed the most consumed commodities in the lives of nobles, especially animal meat and animal skins.

Almost every noble is eating the meat of these giant beasts and wearing their skins.Even some of the materials in the magic base come from the ice field.

It is undeniable that a certain degree of trade is necessary, but this is not an excuse to indulge in smuggling, especially for very special materials such as Tiberium spar.It can serve as a stable source of magic output for the magic base, enriching the life of a civilized society, and it can also become a weapon in the hands of the ice barbarian, harming the Orlando Empire.

Ren's silence made Sistine breathe a sigh of relief.If it wasn't for the point where he had to tear his face apart, he didn't want to get too stiff with Ren.After all, Ren is a golden nobleman. Even though he only holds the title of earl, he is equivalent to a prince in terms of status.To kill or injure a prince is to oppose the supreme ruling class of the entire empire, and to provoke the royal family and the entire country for more than 370 years.What we have to face is not the anger of one person, two or a few people, but the anger of the entire ruling class.

At that point, although he has solved the troubles that Ryan would bring to himself, the people behind him will solve him like other troubles.

After Ren thought for a moment, his lips parted slightly, "You mean, Her Majesty the Queen also knows what's going on here." As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that he had asked a stupid question, why did Queen Pars Maybe not?It's like a country that doesn't have cars and doesn't import cars, but the streets are full of cars, and even the emperor has his own car.Where do these cars come from, do you need to think about it?

This is a complete chain of interests, but why, Queen Pars asked him to handle this matter again?

Ren's brain was like an erupting volcano, with layers of brains tumbling and erupting, and all his mental energy was thinking about the real purpose behind this matter.

Sistine showed a regretful expression, "If Her Majesty the Queen doesn't know, then that is my lie."

Ren is a smart person, and smart people naturally have their own way of thinking, so he figured it out in less than a minute.If it is said that these smuggling groups were allowed to travel freely between the ice sheet and Demaragu in the past, it was for some unique commodities on the ice sheet.So now the Queen asked Ren to investigate these things because of the changes on the ice sheet and the failure of the "deal" between Queen Pars and some people in a certain corner of the imperial capital.

Let me talk about the first point first, the first barbarian king appeared on the ice field in thousands of years, and all the ice barbarians on the entire ice field declared their allegiance to this barbarian king.The tribes that used to be scattered and independent were unified under the holy mountain and formed a tight system, which has formed a huge threat just like the full moon.The trade at this time is not simply exchanging goods, but capitalizing on enemies.Under such circumstances, Queen Pars will definitely ask to stop all acts of supporting the enemy. After all, she is the master of this country, and Orlando is the royal family of this country. Any loss at the national level is a loss for her and her family. .

Then, it is necessary to talk about the second point.

The nobles excavated a never-ending gold mine, and as the excavation continued, the output became larger and larger.At this time, in order to avoid "her personal loss and the loss of the Orlando family", Queen Pars asked the nobles to stop mining gold mines. What would the nobles think?Agree?That is impossible. For these nobles, they are not the ones who are directly hurt. What about Queen Pars and the Orlando family has nothing to do with them.

Perhaps they would be happier if they were able to yank the Orlando family from the throne for more than 370 years.

Thus, contradictions arise.

Queen Pars must have had a confrontation with some of them, and she must have failed in the end, so she needed Ren to use this method to catch the nobles' pigtails in a roundabout way, cut off this smuggling channel, and avoid more The east and west flowed into the ice sheet, becoming a fighting force for the ice barbarians who were most likely to go south.Of course, there is no lack of her desire to punish those nobles and vent her anger.

Thinking of this, Ren said, "There are two roads in front of you now." Sistine immediately showed a humble expression of listening attentively, bent his waist, turned his face to the table, and tilted his head slightly. "The first way!" Ren stretched out a finger. The copper ring looked a little dark under the candlelight. After two years of rubbing by him, there was already a thick layer of pulp, and a green rune faintly A streamer turned, "Abandon all trade, and from today on, nothing will be allowed to leave Orlando and enter the ice field. You and I will go back to the Imperial Capital to identify those nobles."

"Empress Pars and I will ensure your safety and your interests will not be harmed. After the matter is over, you can find a place to live in seclusion, or you can cooperate with Salcomo, whether you are in business or politics, it's up to you You choose."

In the first half of the sentence, Sistine didn't show the slightest expression on his face, but in the last sentence, I have to say, his heart was moved.

Salcomo is a legend of this era, a miracle. His existence encourages all businessmen, not to mention that he became a nobleman as a businessman, opening up a new path for the group of businessmen.Even after countless years, Salcomo's deeds will be passed down and never extinguished.Not to mention these, it would be great if you can be in politics. Once you make a very important contribution, or get enough qualifications, you can become a nobleman in a sudden change.

But soon, the emotion was extinguished by the reason in his eyes, and his eyes dimmed.Once he really did this, he believed that even the two big men, Ren and Queen Pars, would not be able to save his life.
