"reply."

"At least until my granddaughter's birthday party is over."

"Your answer will determine whether or not I will attend your birthday party - because I will use this to determine when to meet with Wei Yanwu."

Adams opened his mouth, but no words came out. He picked up the documents on the table and flipped through them over and over again, but still couldn't make up his mind.

Qiao Yelan covered the teacup.

"——Okay! Okay! I agree!"

The sound was so loud that the surrounding birds were startled and flew away.

Adams said through gritted teeth.

"The premise is that you can really get the permission of the Great Yan Royal Family. I am not stupid. Three trading cities alone cannot support a universal currency."

"That's my problem. You deal with yours and I'll deal with mine. If you can't give me what I want by then, don't blame me for finding someone to replace you."

Qiao Yelan said bluntly.

Adams carefully put the document back into the briefcase and handed it to Qiao Yelan again.

"I was able to take risks and move my entire family from Victoria, and I still have the courage and prestige now - don't worry about the money and supplies. It will take some time, but I will definitely give it to you when you need it."

"It's a word."

Qiao Yelan took the briefcase.

Adams stood up and looked at the sky.

"The dinner is about to start, and Wei Yanwu will be here soon."

"Let's go together. I've known Wei Yanwu for fifteen years. Time flies."

Qiao Yelan felt a little emotional.

Adams glanced at his young face vaguely and said nothing.

Time does indeed pass quickly - it's just hard to imagine you saying this.

"Let me push you over. We were originally planning to have a chat at Beatrix's birthday party, but you brought up this topic. Now we really need to have a good chat. By the way, what gift did you bring for my granddaughter?"

"An introductory spell textbook written by Leitania's most powerful wizard."

This sentence stunned the middle-aged man pushing the wheelchair.

"The most powerful wizard in Leithania is the Witch King, right? Didn't he die in the Emperor Selection Ceremony?"

"Yes, he wrote the one that was prepared before, but he died."

"I wonder where the textbook written by the Witch King is? Although he is dead, it is still worth collecting."

"Burn it for him. After all, we have worked together before."

Qiao Yelan spoke casually, but once again silenced Adams.

When the two arrived at the banquet hall, Wei Yanwu and his wife just got out of the car in front of the door.

"You two actually took the initiative to come out and pick me up?"

Wei Yanwu said in surprise.

"I came earlier than you, what should I do? But it's a pity that I can't pay my respects to you, Your Highness Wei Yanwu, the Governor of Longmen."

"Forget it, you never kneel, not even when meeting the late emperor - this is my wife, Princess Wenyue of the East."

Qiao Yelan greeted with a smile.

"Your Highness is truly stunningly beautiful. What a pity that such a beautiful flower is stuck in cow dung."

"You still have the habit of talking like you're about to be beaten to death."

Wei Yanwu scolded with a smile, but Princess Wenyue bowed properly.

"Mr. Qiao Yelan, it's been a long time since I last saw you."

"Your Highness, have we met before?"

Qiao Yelan was slightly stunned.

"You probably don't remember that five years ago, Ursus launched a war of aggression against our Eastern Country. It was thanks to your efforts in turning the tide in the Battle of Blood Peak that we were able to hold out until reinforcements from Da Yan arrived and forced Ursus to sign a peace treaty. I was fortunate enough to meet you once at my father's place. Of course, I didn't communicate with you at that time."

Adams was surprised when he heard this, but Qiao Yelan was a little confused. These things were just mentioned in the letter he left for himself, and he didn't mention Princess Wen Yue at all.

Wei Yanwu, on the other hand, had a strange look on his face.

In that war, outsiders saw that the East Kingdom defeated Ursus with the support of the Great Yan. After that, the economic and military exchanges between the two sides became closer, and the marriage of the Princess of the East Kingdom to the Great Yan was even more of a good story. But in fact, there was something fishy going on...

After the war, Ursus was severely damaged. Its invincible reputation since the Battle of the Four Emperors was broken. At home, Emperor Vladimir the Great was critically ill, the newly appointed crown prince had an unstable foundation, there was resentment within the army, undercurrents surged among the nobles, and the political situation became turbulent with the war, and has even continued to this day.

The East Kingdom was almost destroyed. Almost all the adult males went to the battlefield. The cards they had saved up to compete with Dayan were used up in the Blood Peak Battle. After that, their economy collapsed completely. They had no choice but to put away all their little thoughts and continue to kneel down at Dayan's feet like dogs. In exchange for various resources, they even sent a princess to marry.

Only Dayan won - its disobedient vassal states became obedient, the restless Ursus in the north was in civil strife, and its own reputation spread further on the continent.

Coincidentally, Wei Yanwu, who was the eldest prince at the time, was quite favored by his father, so many things were open to him - this was also the opportunity for him to meet Qiao Yelan.

However, this was also an opportunity for him to win the beauty, so Wei Yanwu quickly adjusted his expression.

"There is actually such a coincidence in this. I will toast you with an extra glass of wine on behalf of my wife later."

After easily putting this past event behind them, the dinner officially began after the host and guests arrived.

The hosts and guests were having a great time outside, but soon the three of them were taken to a secret room.

"You just secured your position as the leader this time, and you're calling me here in a hurry using this as an excuse. What's the matter?"

Qiao Yelan slowly repeated the questions he had asked Adams to Wei Yanwu.

"There is indeed something going on."

Wei Yanwu sighed.

"After I gained a foothold in Longmen, my brother... His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be more wary of me, especially because I was too anxious and used the [Black Guards] that my father left for me. He must have noticed it."

"After all, his ascension to the throne was so dramatic. Who could believe that a prince would give up the throne and marry a beauty who was impossible to marry? He threw away his position in the East Palace and ran away to become the Duke of Wei. It's no wonder that others are muttering behind his back. Don't you think so?"

Chapter 28: Sweating

Wei Yanwu awkwardly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

He had no interest in the throne in the first place, and he also truly loved Princess Wen Yue, so he immediately became a permanent entertainment item in the teahouse: [The Princess of the East is a remnant of Qing Qiu, a seductive concubine who brings disaster to the country, and seduced the Prince of Dayan, who loves beauty more than the country].

If he married a foreign princess, his position as crown prince would naturally be ruined, and his father was almost given a heart attack by this.

As a result, they had to force a son to come up, but he died after only a few years of training.

Unfortunately, because he was not well brought up in his childhood, he has grown a little crooked, and his acquired education is a little insufficient, so the emperor is extremely suspicious and frightening.

So this heavy blow fell on Wei Yanwu.

"I am in a very awkward situation now. I must find a way to regain the emperor's trust. Although he may still have some feelings for me and does not want to take action against me for the time being, I think people's minds will always change."

"Tell me, how can I help you?"

Qiao Yelan still looked lazy.

"Do you want me to help you find Kosice?"

Adams, who was pretending to know nothing, almost spit out his tea.

So you, BYD, just copied and pasted everything from the question to the process, and you were too lazy to even change it, right?

If you still act like this after putting the book on the shelves, you'll be done for if the readers don't care.

"Let's not talk about whether Kosice can come back or not. Even if she comes back, the emperor will not believe that she can still pose a threat to me."

"So you want me to find a way to build a strong military force for you to check and balance the emperor?"

"I might die sooner if I do this."

"Oh, I see. You want to move to another place again? Just like the time you wanted to leave the Great Yan Capital? No problem. You see, there has just been a coup in Leitania, and everything is in ruins. I have some connections there..."

"Don't joke. I am a descendant of the Great Yan royal family. It's okay for me to visit a foreign country, but if I want to live in a foreign country for a long time, what's the difference between that and treason?"

Wei Yanwu looked at Qiao Yelan very seriously.

"I see. You just want to spend your life in Longmen with your wife, and at the same time stop His Majesty the Emperor from always thinking about how to kill you, right?"

Qiao Yelan snapped his fingers

"I think we should change our thinking - let your brother be reluctant to kill you, how about that?"

Old Wei's eyes lit up.

"May I ask, sir, what is the plan?"

The other party threw out his briefcase directly.

"See for yourself!"

So Wei Yanwu read the documents attentively, and then Adams realized that he was the only one who could be responsible for changing the tea.

So I went to change it obediently.

After Wei Yanwu finished reading, he put down the document in his hand and looked at Qiao Yelan.

"Can you guarantee that Dayan will provide us with secret support?"

This is the difference between a prince of a country and the head of a family.

"I will tell the emperor that your brother is too suspicious. The situation of Babel Tower in Da Yan is not good anymore, so it is perfect to use him to exchange for something."

Qiao Yelan directly revealed his plan.

First, feed the Tower of Babel's wealth and trade routes in Dayan to the emperor, so that he can really reap the benefits. In this way, as long as the other party does not keep acquiescing, they can launch the Longmen Coin plan. Once the plan is launched, the other party will not object to Longmen's rising taxes.

As for the initial investment...

Now that I have the right to mint coins, who would want to play with the real economy? I must immediately bring the principle of leverage to Terra, the financial virgin land, and squeeze every last penny out of the nobles.

How to say far ahead.

Wei Yanwu nodded and handed the document in his hand to Adams.

Adams' heart was trembling when he took the document - he finally understood why Qiao Yelan said that he would consider when to meet with Wei Yanwu based on his reply.

Because the decision-making power of cooperation has nothing to do with himself or the Shi Huaiya family!

Wei Yanwu has agreed, how dare I not participate?

If Wei Yanwu doesn't agree, would I dare to participate?

He raised his head and met Qiao Yelan's half-smile on her face, then immediately lowered his head and pretended to read the documents carefully.

Qiao Yelan was warning himself - to keep all those little thoughts to himself, hide them tightly in his heart, work hard, and he would ensure that the Shi Huaiya family would prosper in Longmen.

The devil's gift is not so easy to take.

Did Qiao Yelan help Shi Huaiya's family move from Victoria to Longmen just to get him to support Wei Yanwu?

Wrong - it is because only a family from Victoria joined in that this trade route could pry open the current Victoria border and extend this trade route to Colombia, Bolivar and Sargon further west.

Wei Yanwu represents Dayan, Qiao Yelan represents Leitania, and Shi Huaiya represents Victoria. Together, the three of them can open up transportation lines to the entire Terra continent. Only when representatives of these three countries stand up for Longmen Coin at the same time can other countries realize that this matter is irresistible and they can only rack their brains to come in and get a piece of the pie.

Wei Yanwu's identity and power, as well as Longmen's special status, allow him to act without too many constraints. Coupled with Dayan's support, no one dares to touch him.

As for Qiao Yelan, whether it was the previous Herhunzolen or the current Gemini Queen, Letania would stand behind him. In addition, with Babel Tower’s own reputation, no one dared to touch him.

Only the Shi Huaiya family and the Victoria behind them are fake. The dukes will only envy the benefits they gain and try their best to get protection fees, but they will not truly support them, because they wish this family would be torn apart and then support a spokesperson of their own to come up.

The most bizarre thing is that because of the division among the dukes themselves, their plans will hinder each other, and in the end they can only focus on infiltrating the Shi Huaiya family, causing this family to fall into endless internal struggles.

Adams said that he was worried that he would be kicked out or even disposed of by Wei Yanwu, and asked Qiao Yelan for help. Then Qiao Yelan would certainly give him a real solution to the problem -

Kneel at your own feet, or kneel at Wei Yanwu's feet.

Your family can be preserved, and its development is beyond doubt, but that will of course come at a price.

Adams was right. Qiao Yelan was indeed very lazy. He was so lazy that he only thought of copying and pasting when it came to problem dialogues and how to handle them.

But when Qiao Yelan copied and pasted the methods he had used on Dongguo fifteen years ago on him, Adams truly realized what this "laziness" meant.
