The old angel pushed the wheelchair and chatted with Qiao Yelan with a smile.
"Longmen Governor Wei Yanwu and the Shi Huaiya family will assist you, so there will be fewer people transferred in the early stage. It's still the same as before. First establish a stronghold and evacuation passage, and then roll out."
"You are also a veteran employee. You know all of Babel Tower's retirement regulations. If you have this plan, you can make preparations now. Find an assistant and train him well. Do you like the two people you brought this time?"
Qiao Yelan asked.
"No, Scout is a rather boring guy, only suitable for doing things. Ace is quite cheerful, but young people, you know, are full of energy and definitely don't want to stay in a certain city permanently."
Sakota continued to push Qiao Yelan forward.
"Besides, I'm not planning on retiring yet. The notary office has already fired me, and I can't go back to Lateran. Where can I go as an old man who can only play with a gun? I might as well stay in Babel Tower and take care of a few more children. Or is Babel Tower in financial difficulty now and is forcibly laying off old employees?"
"That's not the case, Outcast. If you'd like to stay, that would be great."
The two stopped.
In front of us is the convoy that has been reorganized.
The reason why Qiao Yelan came to Longmen this time was, on the one hand, to re-evaluate the level of cooperation between Wei Yanwu and Adams, and on the other hand, to receive new intelligence and send people here to build a new intelligence network.
Now that both tasks are completed, he naturally won't stay here any longer.
Now that the preparations at Longmen have not been completed yet, there is no need for the Great Yan Emperor and his entourage to rush. It would be better to take some intelligence to fool Kosche and let her protect them as they go to the Holy Eagle Castle.
I think the person sitting on the throne now must be in need of external support.
Qiao Yelan doesn't want to be overtaken by anyone else.
Soon, the convoy, which was reduced in size by half, left Longmen. Outcast took the remaining people to the shop that Qiao Yelan had previously selected, preparing to set up a new Tower of Babel base.
On the towering walls of the mobile city, two people stood there, watching the convoy leave.
"Sure enough, Longmen is not an important place to him at all."
Wei Yanwu said calmly.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that after he confronted me, he would leave right away. He didn't show any force or intention to turn hostile at all."
Adams smiled bitterly.
"How did you respond to him?"
"What else can I say? I'll just have to cut my flesh and bleed myself. But fortunately, he probably also hopes that the Longmen Coin project will succeed, so he just asked for a little more dividends, and at the same time asked the Shi Huaiya family to be responsible for the initial construction investment."
The old man said depressedly.
"After all, you wanted to do something to him, and you're lucky that he only charged you a small amount of money, Adams. I reminded you of this in a subtle way before, but I didn't expect you didn't take it to heart."
"How do I know that young people today are all monsters?"
Wei Yanwu didn't care about Adams' complaints. He deliberately didn't make it clear before. He also wanted to use Adams' idea to test Qiao Yelan. He was still very satisfied with the current result.
Qiao Yelan was very measured in his extortion. He only extorted a certain amount of money from Shi Huaiya's family and left quickly. He had no intention of turning against or settling accounts with me, which was consistent with his character. It also showed that this guy really just wanted to make money.
"After I left, did he say anything else to you besides confronting you?"
"There is one more thing - he told me to tell you that if Edward's identity is exposed, you must be careful not to do stupid things, such as trying to save your sister and her unborn child by committing suicide."
The old man said as he recalled.
"What kind of warning do I need... Don't I know what that guy is capable of?"
Wei Yanwu shook his head, turned around and was about to leave, but his whole body froze in place.
"what happened?"
Adams was a little confused.
"——So you were waiting for me here!"
The man said through gritted teeth.
"What do you mean?"
"He was warning me - if I did it again, he would have plenty of ways to counter me."
Wei Yanwu slammed his fist heavily on the city wall.
"He has a very good relationship with Edward, so as long as he pretends to care about him and says this, Edward, who is stubborn, will definitely think this is a good idea. Therefore, if there is a little pressure on Longmen, he will definitely take this approach!"
"This is actually a good way to solve the problem once and for all. Because if he dies, the matter will be explained. He and my sister were married in secret. As long as she gives birth to the child, I will force her to marry a Dayan noble. In this way, both mother and child can be saved!"
"this......"
Adams gasped.
"So he told me this because he wanted to use me to criticize you?"
"I'm afraid it's not just a warning to me, but also a trap for you. If we were still in a normal sponsor-sponsored relationship before, you would have said this in front of me and Edward. As long as this sentence reaches Edward's ears, it will be enough - because things will definitely slide into the worst abyss in the end!"
"Then I will completely lose your trust because I have angered you..."
Adams murmured.
"Then the only person I can rely on is Qiao Yelan! Because I don't have the middle and lower-level officials who can keep Longmen running. The only ones who have these people are the Shi Huaiya family and Babel Tower, and I simply can't trust you anymore, so I can only choose to let the people from Babel Tower take over - because I must stand firm in Longmen to ensure that my sister and I will not be killed by the emperor!"
Wei Yanwu held his forehead and felt for the first time that it was a wrong decision to tease Qiao Yelan.
But he soon calmed down and resumed thinking.
"It seems that it is very likely that Edward's intelligence has really been leaked by Koschei, otherwise he would not have prepared such a trap for you and me in advance."
"Could it be Qiao Yelan who leaked it?"
Adams couldn't help but ask.
"No, otherwise he could have just gone and talked to Edward directly, as I said, instead of beating around the bush through you. This means that he actually hopes that the goal will remain in our hands and not be taken back by Kosice. This is a warning and a threat, not something he really intends to carry out."
"why?"
"Because of the Longmen Coin plan he brought out - he could have taken this plan to Kosice. We only started preparing to take over Longmen fifteen years ago, and Kosice had occupied Longmen for decades before that. Although Ursus failed to win the Wudong War, they are undoubtedly as qualified as Dayan to support Longmen Coin."
Wei Yanwu pointed to the ground below them.
"They must have prepared this plan for a long time. We can even say that it is because of this plan that Babel Tower intends to bring us in, expel Kosche, and create such a currency. Therefore, Qiao Yelan may cooperate with anyone to oppose me, but he can't cooperate with Kosche. Otherwise, wouldn't he be hindering his own plan?"
It’s impossible… right?
Even the best talents trained by the Great Yan royal family cannot compete with the devil who never ages...
Adams stroked the fake ring on his hand, throwing away the last bit of hope.
Chapter 32: The Emperor's Most Efficient Way to Get Rich
"Teacher, are you back?"
Helinmart almost jumped to Qiao Yelan's side.
"Yes, I'm back—but I'm leaving again soon."
"Oh... So you're here to see the work that Liselotte and I have done?"
She was feeling a little down.
"I'm here to see Kosice—what are you doing with your sword all of a sudden?"
"I'll look for her as soon as the teacher comes back..."
"Because I don't need to worry about you and Ivignad, you will definitely do a good job. I'm just worried that Kosice is not working hard, and she is an unstable person. I need to let her leave as soon as possible."
The hand that was gripping the hilt loosened again.
Qiao Yelan looked at Helinmart with some confusion. Ivignad was fine and had always been sensible, but Helinmart seemed to be a little confusing to him recently.
Is it the rebellious phase?
"So, teacher, you are leaving again?"
"Yes, after all, time waits for no one. I'm going to Ursus next. Leitania and Victoria are now caught up in internal political struggles and can't take care of themselves. Casimir is used to being a coward. I'm worried that Ursus will take action against you."
Qiao Yelan nodded.
He had originally planned to keep the situation in Ursus unstable for a while, but because accidents happened at both Longmen and Vidunia, although the plan was brought back on track by his operations, the [fermentation] in Ursus became an unstable factor.
If the enemy were to seize the right opportunity to strike Leithania, they might be able to use war to export conflicts and restore internal stability - this time is not like the East Kingdom at that time. Qiao Yelan now has no way to command that group of electors with ulterior motives to fight against Ursus.
Because the conflict between the electors was originally created by him with the help of the Witch King. At that time, Helhunzollon crushed the whole field. Who would still want to use these pendants? They should all fight among themselves and don't go out to cause trouble for me...
"Thank you, teacher."
"Okay, thank you for what you said. I also have my own purpose."
Qiao Yelan waved his hand.
"Now that Vidunia has settled down, many officials have returned to office, and you have promoted a group of people within the army. It can be said that you have truly taken the position of Emperor of Leitania."
"It's too early. We just took the throne. We don't have any foundation of our own. Viduniya is like water without a source and a tree without roots. After all, we are not a true traditional elector. We don't have our own fiefdom to support us. Our throne is like a castle in the air. There is not even a foundation underneath.
Helinmart sighed.
"Ivignad taught you?"
"Yes, she and I have a clear division of labor now."
Qiao Yelan nodded. He was very satisfied with the growth of both of them.
"Since there is no foundation, we will naturally find a way to build one for you. Babel Tower will now fully support you, and a large amount of supplies will be delivered from Longmen. In addition, you can also squeeze out the last bit of profit from the Heidenschweil region."
"Heidenschwill?"
Helinmart was a little confused. They now occupied the position of Elector of Heidenschwill, but having this title did not mean that if they returned to Elector of Heidenschwill, they would be able to get the support of the nobles in that area, let alone taxes.
"The Leopold family hasn't been copied yet."
Qiao Yelan said with a chuckle.
That was a fortune that even Helhunzollon had been eyeing, and now it was exactly what Helinmart and the others urgently needed.
"In addition to confiscating your property, there is another deal you can do - you can sell your qualification as an elector."
In a large region, there is often more than one grand duke, and not only a grand duke can become an elector, just like the Witch King, whose Utica family is just an earl.
After all, strength determines everything.
"Now, you are qualified to dispose of Leopold's land and army. I think during this period of time, many people who are unwilling to follow you should have been screened out from your army. You can sell those people, land, and property on the land to other nobles."
Qiao Yelan chuckled.
"Why not leave the unmanageable land and uncontrollable army to others to deal with? You can even promise those nobles that in addition to cash, you can use material discounts, or even allow them to pay back slowly with annual food supplies - and then use these materials and money to build your foundation."
"Our foundation...but we have no territory to occupy."
"Haven't you already occupied it?"
Helinmart was startled, lowered his head and looked at the ground beneath his feet.
"Vidunia is the best fiefdom for you."
Qiao Yelan can always use the calmest voice to break other people's cognition.
"The people here have faced the Witch King's reign of terror at the closest distance, so they naturally recognize and favor you and Ivignad. You have not only occupied the city, but have truly gained the recognition of all the people in this city. They will not be easily instigated by other nobles to oppose your rule."
"This is the political, academic and artistic center of Leitania. All Leitanians are proud to live here - so why not let it continue to attract them like this?"
"Give it a new name, and then use the materials and money you have collected to expand it, and actively absorb foreign population. This will soon become the most prosperous territory in Leitania - it will just have the additional title of an imperial capital."
Qiao Yelan's words made Helinmart suddenly enlightened.
"What we got from the Heidenschwill Territory can be considered as start-up capital. Babel Tower will certainly fully assist in the construction of the new imperial capital. And soon there will be a trade route that runs through the east and west of the continent passing through here, from Da Yan in the east to Bolivar in the west. Soon, this city will be able to shoulder the governance needs of you and Ivignad."
The girl nodded. Now there was only one question.
"But in the future...if, I mean if, we have a child, how will this territory be passed on to him? If Ivignad and I are no longer emperors, then will the Imperial City become a neutral territory?"
Qiao Yelan smiled and waved his hand.
"Believe me, Helinmart, if you tell the elector who wants to be emperor that you can send the Golden Law Guards and the Golden Law Music to him and let him freely choose any city in his own territory as the new imperial capital, he will be so happy that he will not be able to sleep."
"Except you, which elector has not fantasized about how fantastic it would be if his family could always be the emperor?"
Chapter 33 Doubts
Now that the strategy has been decided, it must be executed immediately. Vidunia lacks everything right now - even time.
