I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 318 Around the World
Nan hates Wumei Island.

Governor's Palace.

Luden flipped through the newspaper and noticed an unremarkable piece of news,
"The old king increased the tea tax?"

Tea is, in a sense, an everyday commodity, like salt.

Today, the old king requires his colony to pay a high tea tax for all tea sold publicly.

This will lead to a subtle result - the proliferation of private tea.

The old king had to collect taxes because he had to spend money and he didn't have enough money.

Originally, when Lu Deng was still in Wudu, the old king didn't have to worry about money.

The departure of the Eternal is bad news for Luden, so why not for the old king?
Letting Luden stay in the fog city is something that a king cannot allow!
Because this will lead to infinitely sharp contradictions-who is the king?

Back then in Shenbang, the Senate had always disliked Luden, but since Shenbang is a classical republic system, there is no clear person in power, so naturally there will be no such sharp personal conflicts.

If the old king wants to maintain the dignity of the monarchy and the dignity of the monarchy, he must drive away Rodden.

After driving away Lu Deng, he will find that the originally extremely healthy and vigorous dynasty has become lifeless!

Of course, this is not caused by Luden alone, but by many factors.

First of all, the strength of the Little United Kingdom, in essence, has something in common with the strength of the company.

The Immortals, and the Immortals' followers, created a mighty corporation, a mighty kingdom, and they made up bone and flesh, and it didn't matter who the skin was.

Now that the backbone and healthy blood have been taken away, what is left is naturally a decayed skin.

Luden put down the newspaper, picked up the coffee, and said nonchalantly,
"It seems that he has a long time."

Three years is just the time the old king told Lu Deng.

Not necessarily true.

How long it will last, no one can tell.

When the secretary-general at the side heard the outrageous words, he just pretended not to hear them.

He was completely free on this small southern island.

On weekdays, the secretary-general's job is very simple, that is, to deal with nonexistent official duties and count how long he has left to retire.

Under the behest of the old king, the secretary-general must also teach the naughty princess her homework.

It's just that the princess learns casually, and the secretary-general teaches casually, and both sides are fooling around.

After leaving the vortex of power, the secretary-general felt relieved. He didn't need to suppress anything, and he didn't need to hide anything.

Although he accepted the inheritance of the palace of greed, greed is not suitable for him.

To be precise, few people have been able to grasp the essence of greed since Justice Gured.

"It's not our fault!"

The Secretary-General expresses his indignation,
"Back then in the Kingdom of God, the Palace of Greed possessed all the wealth in the world!"

Only by owning it can one know the taste of it and be truly greedy.

Nowadays, even if the secretary-general scrambles a plate of eggs, he has to pay for it himself, and his heart aches!

He felt that the inheritance he accepted was not greed, but stinginess!

"Okay, on the bright side, at least you don't need to take insulin."

Luden said casually,

"Change the production plan of the shipyard, produce more fast ships, small ships, and slow down the U-turn of large ships."

The Secretary-General looked embarrassed, and reminded with a cough,
"Mr. Luden, is there a possibility that someone will drive these small boats and fast boats to smuggle tea?"

"Hiss—will it still be like this?"

Luden asked in surprise, and after being reminded, he quickly ordered Todd,

"We must declare to our customers that we must never use this ship to smuggle, especially not to smuggle tea!"

Secretary General:
"Then you might as well do the business yourself!"

Facing the Secretary-General's questioning, Luden replied confidently,
"Things that are against the law cannot be done!"

The old king is now critically ill, thinking about how to legally kill Luden every day.

It is acceptable to go back and forth on the verge of hanging.

However, Luden would never do such a stupid thing as directly shoving his neck into the guillotine.

The adjustment of the shipyard was quick.

As expected by Lu Deng and the Secretary-General, private tea began to flood, and the sales of official tea became worse and worse.

The old king couldn't step up his efforts to rectify it, and this way of making money was cut off.

If he wants a huge kingdom, he must accept everything from the huge kingdom.

Rigid, decayed, dull, dull.
These things followed like a shadow, making every move of the king feel like he was stuck in a quagmire, unable to control himself.

Even with all the odds against it, the Little United Kingdom is still the most powerful kingdom in the world.

Only the strong are eligible to decay.

More weak people fell on the rotten road, became corpses, and were swallowed by other forces.

From spring to autumn, more than a year passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, a ship stopped at the pier of Nanhenwumei Island.

The king's envoy appeared outside the governor's palace in a carriage, holding the king's warrant in his hand, and arrogantly asked Governor Luden to appear before him immediately!

The Messenger said at the top of his voice,

"The king asks Governor Luden to return to Wudu immediately to report on his duties!"

The envoy failed to meet Lu Deng, but met a familiar face, the secretary-general from Wudu.

The secretary replied reluctantly,

"Sorry, Mr. Luden is not in the Governor's Mansion."

"Not in the Governor's Mansion?"

The messenger frowned and asked,
"The Governor is not in the Governor's Mansion, where can he be?"

"He left a week ago"

The Secretary-General casually mentioned a time.

One week happened to be the time when the old king's condition worsened and he sent an envoy to ask Luden to go to Wudu!

Hearing this time, the messenger's pupils narrowed slightly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Lu Deng can easily get news from Wudu at such a long distance!

And how much of the time he wasted along the way was Luden's arrangement?
Before he came to the Governor's Mansion, Lu Deng had already slipped away?
The messenger gritted his teeth and emphasized,
"Disobeying the king's order is a felony!"

"Then you go and punish him."

The secretary said nonchalantly,

"He didn't resign, but took the governor's guard to 'expand the territory'. If this can also punish the governor. Forgive me for offending, even the Fog City Code can't do such a thing."

Luden is still the same as before, and he will not leave any clues when doing things.

The envoy's face turned blue with anger. He knew what would happen to him if he failed to bring Luden back!
Of course, Luden also knew very well what would happen if he returned to the fog city.

He will surely die.

The closer a person is to death, the more he fears death.

Luden was less afraid of death.

However, he doesn't like senseless deaths.

This is the case in the theater, and it is also the case in Wudu this time.

He didn't want to be buried with the old king, so he left first.

The envoy, in a state of exasperation, asked the last question,

"What did he do?!"

"Before the start, the guy said some weird things, saying that the world is a ball, and we are actually standing on the ball."

The secretary resignedly said,
"He said he could travel around the world in eighty days."
