I, Altria, only want to rule China.

No problem, absolutely no problem.

As long as the financial deficit problem of Sassanid Persia and the problem of unrest among the people can be solved, the remaining problems will naturally no longer be a problem.

It can be said that the method Alice introduced to Rowling contains a huge pitfall. It depends on whether the Sassanid Persians can detect it.

When he thought about the fact that he would soon have his own fiefdom and title, Luo Lin's heart became hot, and his gaze towards Alice also became hot: "Respected Princess, I really don't know how to thank you."

But Alice felt a little embarrassed by Rowling's gaze. This guy didn't realize her trap at all and treated her as a confidant.

Luo Lin thought for a moment and then continued, "Your Highness, I hope to send someone to study in your Wu country's school. Is that possible?"

Alice did not answer when she heard Rowling's question. She really didn't know how to answer this question. You know, a lot of learning knowledge in Wu Kingdom is not open to the outside world.

After careful consideration, Alice asked tentatively, "I wonder how many people Mr. Rowling will send?"

Luo Lin thought about it and asked tentatively, "How about two hundred people?"

Alice didn't feel that way.

However, she didn't dare to make a direct decision on this matter. She needed to go back and ask Sister Leah.

"I need to report this matter to Her Majesty. I cannot make a unilateral decision for you." Alice thought for a moment and gestured to the official accompanying her, asking him to ask Her Majesty the Queen.

Seeing that Alice did not agree immediately, Rowling was a little disappointed, but he still nodded.

After the two discussed some things, they finally got a reply from Leah.

The letter only said, "It's okay for them to study if they want to, but they need to pay enough tuition."

In Liya's opinion, students will surely be everywhere in Wu State in the future. If these countries want to do something bad and kidnap Wu State's students and take them to their countries for education, Wu State will really not be able to defend itself.

Even in modern times, other countries did not prevent students from other countries from studying in their countries, so she did not need to stop them.

In this case, it is better to let go, but when teaching those students, just don't teach them the important things.

After getting Leah's definite answer, Alice was relieved and said to Luo Lin on the spot: "Mr. Luo Lin, Her Majesty the Queen agrees to your conditions, but you know the price."

"How much does it cost?" Luo Lin asked quickly, hiding his excitement.

Alice calculated it secretly in her mind, and then tentatively said: "The tuition fee for a student is one thousand silver sterling a year, and the miscellaneous expenses such as books, meals, clothing, accommodation, etc. are about six hundred silver sterlings. I wonder if your country can accept it?"

Alice opened her mouth and said that each international student needs 1,600 silver dollars in tuition and miscellaneous fees every year.

After deducting the costs, the profit generated by each international student each year can probably cover the education expenses of 100 children from ordinary families in Wu State. Two hundred international students are enough to support the education expenses of children from ordinary families in Wu State.

Of course, after quoting this price, Alice felt a little guilty. She was actually asking for an exorbitant price.

After listening to Alice's offer, Rowling lowered his head and started to think.

Although the price is very expensive, it will definitely be a sure-win business once these students return after completing their studies.

After secretly calculating, Luo Lin raised his head, looked at Alice and said, "Three hundred and twenty thousand silvers a year is not a problem for our Sassanid Persian Empire. As long as our Majesty builds fewer gardens, this little money can be saved."

Seeing this, Alice picked up the teacup and smiled gently at Luo Lin: "Mr. Luo Lin, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Luo Lin followed suit and picked up his teacup: "Dear Princess, it's a pleasure to work with you."

In addition to these firearms, various other items such as glass, soap, salt, etc. were also discussed.

Of course, in addition to Wu State selling things to them, Wu State also needs to buy things from them.

What Wu Guo wants is also very simple, which is the most valuable thing that these people don't know yet, oil!

Oil is not a valuable commodity in Persia. You should know that the current territory of Sassanid Persia also includes the later country of Iran.

What is the most abundant thing in Iran? Of course, oil

Of course, these people don’t know the value of this thing yet, they simply regard it as something that is easy to ignite.

When they learned about the situation later, they cursed Wu Guo's despicableness and shamelessness in their hearts.

But at that time, the Wu State had already made a lot of money.

Chapter 157: The Persian Empire is also Her Majesty the Queen

The envoys from both sides stayed in Wu State for about a month before leaving Wu State and returning to their own countries.

The longer they stayed in Wu State, the more shocked they were. This country was changing every day, so fast that people couldn't react.

After returning to their own countries, these envoys immediately told their emperor all the information about the most powerful country in the East.

It was just that Luo Lin returned at an unfortunate time. The Emperor of Sassanid Persia was ambushed and killed in battle with the White Huns!

Luo Lin was very surprised to hear the news. He never thought that he would receive such bad news just after returning from Wu State.

After receiving the battle report, he discovered that the Emperor no longer took the White Huns seriously after obtaining the Wu Kingdom's previous firearms, and wanted to avenge his previous humiliation, so he led the troops himself.

The result was that he was ambushed due to carelessness, hit by several arrows and died in battle.

The emperor is dead and has no male heirs, only a few princesses, so now the important officials in the court are discussing what to do.

At this time, it seems that the best choice is to nominate His Majesty the Emperor's brother, Barash.

If Luo Lin had not been to Wu State, he would probably have made the same choice, but after going to Wu State, he discovered that it was not impossible for a woman to ascend the throne.

Isn't the Wu Kingdom today ruled by Her Majesty the Queen? In addition to the Queen, there are many female officials in the Wu Kingdom. They manage the country in an orderly manner and have created today's super empire.

And as the Emperor's eldest daughter, Her Royal Highness Princess Nanali, it is not impossible.

Princess Nanali was already quite famous during the Sassanid period. She was a very intelligent princess. Before her death in battle, His Majesty often sighed that it would have been better if Princess Nanali was a man.

The most important thing is that once he helps Princess Nunnally to ascend the throne of the emperor, won't he become a loyal minister?

In addition, since he is the princess's cousin, Princess Nunnally will definitely be closer to him in the future. It can be said that his chance to rise to prominence is right in front of him!

Thinking of this, Luo Lin decided to do it. You know, he now has the latest firearms of Wu State in his hands. With these, the chances of helping Princess Nanali become the emperor are still very high!

Thinking of this, Rowling decided to contact Princess Nanali first.

Just when all the officials were planning to celebrate for Barash, Rowling suddenly launched an attack and arrested a group of officials who supported Barash and Barash on the charge of treason.

Then he led the team and helped Princess Nunnally to the throne of the Queen.

Under the suppression of these powerful firearms, the rebellion in the palace of the Sassanid Empire was quickly quelled, and they also welcomed their first queen.

With the help of Rowling, the young Majesty Nanali quickly began her career as queen.

She eagerly absorbed the news that Luo Lin brought back from the Wu Kingdom, and soon developed a yearning for this powerful empire.

Regarding the current domestic issues, Rowling also shared the methods he got from Alice.

"If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who created the problem?"

"Some people in the royal family and those who are rich are just fat pigs raised by the empire. They should be killed when the time comes."

"Appease with the left hand and massacre with the right hand, let the civilians choose for themselves?"

Nunnally eagerly flipped through the questions on how to deal with the nobles, exclaiming in amazement: "It's really amazing. As expected, this country is older than ours. These methods will help us solve our financial problems very quickly."

Listening to Her Majesty Nanali's constant praise, Luo Lin laughed and said, "I believe that under your leadership, Sassanid Persia will become even greater, and may even surpass Wu State."

"As for the Roman Empire, which is as powerful as ours? I'm sorry, Your Majesty Nanali, but in my opinion, those barbarians are not even qualified to carry shoes for Her Majesty the Empress of Wu. After all, no emperor would like an old servant in his seventies or eighties to carry his shoes for him."

Nanali only smiled and hummed in response to Luo Lin's pretentious humor, and asked: "Luo Lin, I want to hear your opinion on the situation in the Far East? Or, is it possible for the Wu Kingdom to become our ally in the Far East?"

Luo Lin shook his head and said solemnly, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, my respected Queen. Wu Kingdom will not become our ally in the Far East, or rather, they will definitely not allow us to interfere in their affairs.

"From what I understand, although the Empress of the Wu Kingdom did not say it explicitly, with the capabilities of that empire, it is only a matter of time before the continent is unified. In her opinion, the Far East Continent may already be her backyard."

"In my opinion, maintaining a trade relationship with us is her bottom line. If we really want to interfere in their affairs, I am afraid that we will lose the opportunity to trade with her."

Nanali hummed, looked at Luo Lin and said: "Go on, I want to hear your opinion."

Luo Lin nodded and continued, "I think there is no need for us to interfere in the affairs of the Far East. That might anger the Wu Kingdom. If possible, we, the Sassanid Persians, should become their allies worldwide, not just in the Far East."

"In other words, the Far East belongs to Wu State, and the Western European continent belongs to Sassanid Persia. This is the best way, both for Sassanid Persia and Wu State."

Nanali hummed again, her face gradually becoming serious. She looked at Luo Lin and asked, "Are the troops you control now absolutely loyal? Have you equipped all the firearms you traded from Wu Kingdom?"

Luo Lin also said seriously: "Although I only have 3,000 troops under my command, I can assure you, Your Majesty, that they are absolutely loyal and absolutely reliable."

"In addition, the latest firearms from the Wu Kingdom that my troops have replaced are exactly as I said before. They have a longer range, higher accuracy, and faster reloading speed than our original muskets. They are completely beyond our current capabilities."

Nanali nodded, then took a deep breath and said, "That's good. Luo Lin, I need you to lead the troops to kill the Rohan family and arrest all the members of the Rohan family. Just like you heard in Wu State, they will be tried for their crimes in front of all the citizens of the capital."

After thinking for a while, Queen Nanali continued, "Let Earl Kavard try them publicly. However, you must remember to tell Earl Kavard first that the things done by the Rohan family have nothing to do with the royal family. Do you understand?"

Chapter 158: Nanali's Reform

Luo Lin nodded and responded, "Don't worry, my respected Queen, I know exactly what to do."

Nanali hummed, stood up, walked to Luo Lin, gave Luo Lin a big hug, and then whispered in Luo Lin's ear:

"If you hadn't helped me, I would have been forced by my uncle who is still in prison to marry a nobleman I don't like. I remember all your contributions, so let the Rohan family die, and the fiefdom over there is what I prepared for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Rowling said gratefully.

He knew that he had made the right bet. The Rohan family had existed for hundreds of years, and one could imagine how wealthy they were.

Although most of it had to be handed over to the national treasury, as an executor, he could naturally make some money from it. And most importantly, the fiefdom had become his own.

Even if he is an illegitimate child, so what? He relied on his own hands to get what he wanted, and now no one dares to say anything to him!

Nanali continued, "Okay, Luo Lin, next you go and do what I told you to do. By the way, select those students to study abroad, and finally send someone to tell the Empress of Wu in the Far East about our alliance with them."

For Nanali at the moment, the most important thing is to solve the domestic problems first, and at the same time send more international students to Wu Country to learn more advanced knowledge and technology.

After all, even the brainless Luo Lin became so smart after a trip to Wu State. How smart would the already smart students of Sassanid Persia become after returning from studying in Wu State?

If she has time, she also wants to visit Wu State.

As for the expenses for overseas students and the military expenditure for purchasing Wu country's weapons?

If we get rid of those nobles, won't we have money?

After Rowling left, Nanali sent someone to call Count Kavad to the palace.

As soon as Count Kavad arrived at the palace, Nanali asked directly, "Count Kavad, I called you here today because of the matter concerning the Wu Kingdom."

"What's going on with Wu?" Earl Kavad was a little confused. What does this country have to do with the Queen's visit to him?

Without waiting for Count Kavad to ask, Nanali continued, "Lowling told me that he encountered many interesting and new things in Wu Country, one of which was about newspapers."

"That newspaper is very useful for governing the country, and we don't have such a thing in Sassanid Persia yet, so I need you to run such a newspaper. Of course, such reports cannot be filled with nonsense, slander, and slander."

"For example, newspapers often write about people who were dismissed by Her Majesty the Queen and why they were dismissed. Then, some people took the initiative to expose a certain official, and Her Majesty the Queen was furious, and punished those noble officials in a series of ways. In short, the purpose is to let the people see the Queen's kindness and justice, and the Empire

Do you understand the good side of serving the people and upholding justice?"

After hearing this, Kavad wondered if Her Majesty had gone crazy. Wasn't this going against the nobles of the empire?

Kavad thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, isn't there something wrong here? The consequences of doing this, you might..."

However, Queen Nanali just shook her head, picked up a newspaper about Wu Kingdom from the table, and handed it to Count Kavad: "Take a look at this newspaper first."

Count Kavad took the newspaper from Queen Nunnally and started reading it. After just a few glances, Count Kavad raised his head in surprise and shouted, "This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"The Queen of Wu State actually abolished the civilian tax permanently. Under the premise of abolishing the civilian tax, the annual economy of Wu State is actually hundreds of millions of silver? My Father God, this is simply crazy!"

Nanali nodded and said, "At first, I thought this was crazy, but please keep reading, Count Kavad, there are even crazier things to come."

After hearing what Queen Nanali said, Count Kavad immediately read on. However, the more he read, the more shocked he became.

"Of the entire empire's revenue, two-thirds is used for various projects? Then another two-thirds is invested in Wuguo's research institute."

"There is also a second tier for military expenses, and a fourth tier for universal education? And it is for all the children of Wuguo civilians?"

Kavad couldn't help but say: "They are crazy!"

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, no normal country would make such a decision. Spending more on education than on the military is simply too stupid!"

Nanali nodded and said, "I thought they were crazy, but Luo Lin told me that all this is true. I can tell you responsibly that this is all information that Luo Lin personally verified in Wu State, unless you doubt the relationship between Luo Lin and me."

Count Kavad was so shocked that he began to doubt his life, with confusion and disbelief written all over his face. The key point was that he didn't know what these things had to do with the newspaper he founded.

Nanali directly solved the doubts in Count Kavad's mind: "Count Kavad, don't you think that we in Sassanid Persia should also have such a "Sassanid Persian Newspaper"? "

"Every decision made by the queen and the ministers was published in the Sassanid newspaper, so that all the common people and nobles in Sassanid Persia knew every development of Sassanid Persia."

"Go, my most trusted Count Kavad, I need you to help me create such a newspaper. Remember that the Sassanid Persian Newspaper must be fair, open, and factual."

"Believe me, there will soon be big news to confirm the authority of the Sassanid Persian Newspaper." The big news that Nanali was talking about was naturally the news that the Rohan family was completely destroyed.

In Sassanid Persia, although the Rohan family was not as good as the top old families, it was much stronger than some of the new aristocratic families.
