I'm in Terra, governing a weird little country.

Although in the short term, even if inter-city tolls and tariffs are exempted, Kalan trade goods are still not very competitive in the Victoria market, but in the long term it will be different!

Since ancient times, when have businessmen made the most money?

Monopoly time!

How can a businessman gain a monopoly?

When government and businessmen collude!

It is true that the Duke of Windermere will definitely not be able to let the Calan trade grow to the point where it affects the entire economic system of the Duke of Windermere, but even if he only protects it, it is still a big deal to get a sip of soup in the big market of Victoria. Huge gains!

The most important thing is that as long as there are no major changes in Victoria, this income will be very stable!

Kjerag needs an industry that can stably generate large amounts of income.Now that Enxiodis has given in, cultivating the already well-established Kalan trade is undoubtedly the best choice.

Still, Ernst had to be cautious.

He will keep this matter secret for the time being and use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Enxiodis.

The content is very simple. If Kelan Trading wants to get the rights promised by the Duke of Windermere, it must give up part of its shares and let Ernst, or Ernst's chosen agent, enter the decision-making level of the company's board of directors.

Otherwise, Ernst would rather start from scratch and raise a state-owned enterprise from scratch - although he has no experience in starting a company, and this is really a bit too slow, which will greatly delay the time to obtain benefits.

"Of course, this opening also has a political meaning."

"If you or 'someone' under you encounters some problems, the Duchy of Windermere is also willing to provide shelter and help. This is without asking for anything in return."

She said meaningfully.

This is of course a hint about Princess Aslan.

The Duke of Cester had already exposed his fangs, but she did it very smartly, and the poisoning method was not easy to be noticed. What's more, Kent had left Londinium for a long time, even if Amfelice had the intention to go There is no suitable reason for the attack.

She couldn't just use Ernst's reminder as evidence to declare war on the Duke of Cester, right?

The dukes restrained each other, and the peaceful scene in Victoria was maintained at least on the surface. No one could afford to be the first to provoke a civil war.

There will definitely be revenge, but it can only be limited to the underground. For example, spending 50 to fund the opposition in the Duke of Caster, quietly sending people to kill those "Grey Hats" members whose true identities are discovered, and assassinating some open-minded people. Officials and nobles in the Duchy of Ste.

It's a pity that Kester is an old widow without a husband, otherwise Amfelise would have to arrange an assassination package for her husband.

Her method is not as gentle as poisoning.

In addition, she must also be prepared, just as Kent told her.

If the Duke of Castor really dares to risk the disapproval of the world, attack other grand dukes and claim that position, she can also raise a big flag.

What flag?

[Respect the king and repel the barbarians]!

Want to be the next Victoria Emperor?

The legitimate heirs are still there!Come up and deny your legality first!You son of the beach are an evil rebel!

It is true that the Duke of Windermere also dislikes the king, but it would be different if she supported the king.

Conglong Zhigong, a powerful minister, and a great duke with real power on the border, what do they mean together?

The executive deputy emperor, the co-ruling emperor, understands everything.

Hearing the Duke of Windermere's words, Ernst was stunned for a moment, then nodded movedly.

Although he didn't think that with Jelagund's protection, he would be so miserable that he would have to run away to the Duke of Windermere, but he was still very grateful to the other party for offering political asylum.

Whether it is useful or not is one thing, but the attitude is another.

"Finally, the Duke of Windermere is willing to establish an embassy with Kjerag at the level of ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary in each other's territory. What does Prime Minister Ernst agree with?"

Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, or simply ambassador-level embassies, are generally sent by one country to another country.

But since the execution of the Lion King, Victoria has long been in a state of de facto division. The arrogant behavior of the major dukes is even more normal. Naturally, the level of dispatched diplomats is not so particular.

Anyway, the Lion King family has no objections.

After hearing the news, Ernst was naturally willing.

This symbolizes that Kjerag established the first normal diplomatic relations. This is a small step for Ernst, but a big step for the progress of this international civilization!

The only drawback is that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs seems to be deserted.

Vina, come back soon, gold bars are being distributed at home!

"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door.

Huerhaiya's voice sounded outside the door.

Ernst nodded to Amfelise and said:

"Please come in."

Huerhaiya walked into the room at the right time with a letter of condemnation that he had prepared.

PS: PY is a book that breaks the iron.

Traveling to the Bengtie world, Nanzhu is suffering from [Hengkai disease]. If he wants to survive, he must find a way to deal with this thing that specifically attacks men.

I heard that playing the game "Apprentice Development Plan" can solve Honkai Disease.

Everyone has time-traveled, and you still let me play games?

With the idea of ​​​​having come, why not start a game, Nanzhu started the game.

"Jingliu, Cangcheng was killed. Very few people survived. I don't know what you saw, but I don't want you to live in the shadows."

"I will teach you a set of Taixu sword techniques that can kill rich and evil creatures."

"Jingliu, there's only so much I can teach you. You have to walk your own path in the future."

......

"Master, didn't you say that you would only have one apprentice in Jingryu in this life?"

"Really? But my sister said that I only have one life.

Chapter 98 Preparation for the second recruitment

Both Windermere and Ernst are pleased with today's success.

Especially after Hulhaiya walked in with a letter of condemnation against the Duke of Cester.This unsmiling military nobleman left with the corners of his mouth raised.

Many times, what people really see is just an attitude.

Although I help you with things, support you, and cooperate with you, I am repaying you, but I don't want to get any reliable reward from you.

But if you can say thank you to me after I finish these things, then I will be happy.

When I am happy, this relationship, which was originally just a temporary relationship in repayment of kindness, can gradually develop in a normal direction, and can become a friend and a strategic partner.

For the Duke of Windermere, there was no "thank you" that could make her feel more comfortable than scolding the son of the beach, the Duke of Cester, in her ear.

This is like playing Europa Universalis 4. Originally, you wanted to ally with the great Roman Sultan, but in the end, you were barely in favor. They were only willing to give you a sum of money, but then you went up and cursed Austria, neither, nor nor, that great Roman Sultan. Roman Sultan will be happy and will be jealous of you.

As for Ernst, he didn't suffer at all.

Huoerhaiya's letter will not be sent out at all. This thing is just a statement. It is just like when a few people formed a small group in high school to complain about another classmate in the class. Everyone gained emotional value and did what they should do when they were happy. Homework still has to be done.The classmate who was complained about had no idea what was going on.

Even if she really knew it, with Kjerag's size and special geographical location, it would be equivalent to "The Collapse of America" ​​that the experts inside the wall would release every ten years. Is the United States happy with it?That must be unpleasant?But what can be done?Is it possible that you can still hit me just because I say a few words to you?

Believe it or not, I’ll let my big brother (Duke Windermere) and the proprietress of the distribution company (Jeragond) open your eyes?

After getting another order for a "leather sofa" from the Duke of Windermere that far exceeded the market price, Ernst sent Amfelisse and Daphne away with satisfaction.

They will rest in Kjerag for one night and return to the Duke of Windermere the next day.He couldn't stay any longer. After all, Kent was feeling unwell right now. The Duke of Windermere might cause some trouble, and someone had to go back to calm the situation.

After closing the door, Ernst immediately began to think about a question just raised by the Duke of Windermere.

He was short-handed again.

There is no hope for Longmen. Even if Weena feels the invitation from Cuntou Gold Bar and hurries back slowly, Ernst is unlikely to send her to Victoria to be the ambassador to Windermere Kjelag.

His communication with the Duke of Windermere was already quite troublesome.

Otherwise, why do you think it’s the Duke of Windermere who’s always there, while Ernst always smiles and nods, occasionally saying “OK” and “thank you”?

He could understand it, but it was a bit torturous for him to speak it. There were still differences between Victorian and English, not to mention that Ernst's English still had an American accent.

Maybe the Duke of Windermere just felt that Ernst was maintaining his sense of mystery and authority as Prime Minister and Holy Son of the Snow Kingdom who had been closed off for thousands of years.

But Ernst simply couldn't hold back and didn't want to speak American English that smelled like Litang Dingzhen in front of the British nobles in another world, thus causing a diplomatic accident that even Snow Leopard couldn't bear to watch.

And Vina, on the day she accepted the recruitment, expressed that she did not want to return to Victoria for the time being.Ernst still respected the decision of the fleeing noble daughter.

I just hope that if she really thinks about it one day, does not run away from home, and decides to return to Victoria, her aristocratic status that is unwilling to explain too much can give Kjerag some gold coins.

In this case, the entire Sherage government is once again faced with the problem of lack of professional counterparts.

Need to recruit again?

Ernst frowned.

It’s not that I’m worried that the expansion of civil servants will cause redundancy. The current Kjerag government is like a bag of Lay’s potato chips. If you say it’s all air, that’s unfair. If you say there’s something in it, reach out. If you go in and touch it, you can find out the bottom.

What was difficult for him was, where to recruit people?

To be honest, Ernst must have known the operators in the Ark game and knew their names. After all, they were actual characters released by others. Except for a few suspected of employing child labor, the others were reliable. The basic abilities are at least not bad.

But the point is that Ernst doesn't know several of the characters.

Among the few characters he knows, they are competent and can speak fluent Victorian. It is best to be a Victorian, who has not yet joined a certain force in 1094, who is willing to come to Kjerag, and who is competent as a diplomat. Those who have responsibilities can be counted on one hand.

And when he actually listed the operators he knew a little bit about, he realized-

Wrong, one hand number is a bit too aggressive.

Someone has camel oranges, you!Not with the satellite pig terrier Cheng Shen, Ernst had no idea which city she was in. Besides, Cheng Shen's character was too down-to-earth and not suitable for being a diplomat.

As for a certain horn, Ernst knew her because of the widely circulated "Do you think I'm stupid?" emoticon that was used by many people at the time, but she seemed to be a soldier.Ernst did not have the self-confidence to persuade a Victorian soldier to abandon his promising military career and come to Kjerag to become a diplomat.

Well, after thinking about it, it seems that the only one who is more reliable is a certain Qin Liu who used "Sorrow" as a jingle and caused Qin Flu in the community before Big Brother's magic weapon descended from the sky?

In Ernst's impression, Qinliu seems to be a soldier of Victoria, but her military rank and position are far inferior to that of Bugle, because like Chicken Essence and the strongest pioneer Myrtle, she is a "sir, this way" !" The flag bearer.

However, Qinliu's conditions were quite good. He was a good-looking man and a native of Victoria. Because he was a guard of honor, he received a certain degree of diplomatic etiquette training in addition to military training.If he could be found, he would be an excellent candidate for a diplomat.

The only problem is that Ernst may not be able to find her.
