Chapter 1359

Because of these, there are not a few people in the same forces who are jealous of their interests. If it weren't for the rule that "nobles are not allowed to serve as local governors", Peter, the elder of the provincial government, would have stepped down long ago.

Even so, the nobles under the backer did everything possible to hope that their cronies could get this position. If it wasn't for their filial piety and no major mistakes, they might have returned to Beijing long ago to live on their monthly salary.

Now that the smuggling line is broken, there is no money to honor the higher authorities without money income, and it will cause even more trouble, that is, Zhao Hu will expose the fact that he sent someone to kill him.

You don't need to think about it, once this matter is exposed, the backer will definitely cut off all relations with him in the shortest possible time, and the end can be imagined.

When they were distressed, the guards suddenly came to report: "My lord, a person who claims to be the housekeeper of Major Zhao Hu came to see him."

"Ah?" The two were taken aback for a moment. Before Kate could figure out what was going on, Peter hurriedly said, "Please, please!"

Kate is not an idiot and immediately woke up, he hurriedly asked: "Isn't it? You want to reconcile with him?"

"Damn! What can we do if we don't reconcile? Are you willing to give up your current position and wealth? Even if I flatter a major, I don't want to lose everything I have worked so hard for!" Peter roared with a ferocious face. .

Kate's expression changed, she nodded and remained silent.

Peter's guards in the provincial government are all good at observing words and expressions. Hearing Peter's tone, can he not know how to treat the visiting guests?Dio, a little butler who has never been seen by others, enjoyed the courtesy of a great nobleman.

After entering the palace hall, Dio gave a military salute to Peter and Kate. Although he, a private soldier, needs to kneel down to face the two provincial giants, but he has reliance and is also for the purpose of testing, of course he will not kneel. up.

Kate was very dissatisfied with the proud expression of the middle-aged private soldier. Although she was furious, she didn't dare to take the matter seriously, but her own status made him feel embarrassed, so she could only snort coldly.

And Peter didn't have so many embarrassing things, so he said with a friendly smile: "This housekeeper, I don't know what advice Major Zhao Hu sent you this time?"

Dio is also a fine person. He knew that the situation was the same as he thought with a simple military salute, and Peter's words made him confirm that the situation might be better than he thought.

Even if a majestic governor of the province is caught, he doesn't need to be so polite to a small private.

"Master Provincial Governor, Lord Division Head, this time, under the order of my Lord Zhao Hu, I will hand over a document to the two adults." Diou said politely, holding the confession with both hands at the same time.

After reading this confession, before Peter could react, Kate stood up with a hideous face and roared, "Damn it! How dare you threaten me! Come..." But before she finished speaking, she was caught Peter stopped him, and he smiled and said to Dio: "We understand what Major Zhao Hu means, so I wonder if there is anything we can do to help Major Zhao Hu?"

Dio also laughed. Fortunately, there is a smart person. If everyone is as impulsive as the head of the division, I am afraid that everyone will have to fight to the end.

But looking at it this way, he doesn't need to say much, so he said cheerfully: "My lord wants to be a pure soldier, so there is nothing I need the help of the two lords, I just hope to make the territory prosperous, and at the same time I hope that the funds and taxes of the territory can be increased a little."

Kate was stunned when she heard this, but Peter rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Well, can we wait for a few days, after all, we need to discuss it with our partners."

"That's what it should be, such a young one is waiting for the good news." Dio said politely. After the two chatted, Dio was politely invited down by the guards to rest.

After Dio left, the silly Kate suddenly said with a shrewd look: "Peter, this Zhao Hu has a big appetite. Not only does he want to participate in our action, but he also wants to pay taxes. What do you think?"

"Hey, I'm not afraid that he is greedy, but I am afraid that he is not greedy!" Peter said with a relaxed look.

Kate frowned.

"You mean to accept him? I don't care if there are multiple people working in partnership. After all, we share dividends based on capital contributions. I wish there were more investors, so that the profit dividends will be more..."

"It's just that tax matters are very troublesome. We have to pay taxes for smugglers, so why smuggle? The partners will never agree."

Peter laughed and said, "Our best smuggling route is within Zhao Hu's territory. If we don't want to increase the cost of smuggling and we can't solve Zhao Hu, we can only accept it."

"Besides, as long as this tax is regarded as toll, it is not unacceptable. Besides, since Zhao Hu joined the game, it is absolutely not advisable to collect taxes from his companions. I believe Zhao Hu is just using this condition as a bargaining chip. "

"Send a letter to ask the partner? After all, the business of the Liberty Alliance still needs to be controlled by the partner. If he disagrees, it will be useless for us to do anything." Kate said.

"I think he will agree. After all, the business on the empire's side is controlled by us, and since we don't want people to offend to participate in the game, why would he object? I believe he will consider this no matter what."

"And the strength of Zhao Hu's troops is also beneficial to us. They are stronger than your army. You must know that the route through the southeast peninsula needs strong guards." Peter laughed.

Kate nodded without saying anything. He knew this. Compared with Zhao Hu, he only had more people, but his combat effectiveness was vastly different. Smuggling was not all about having a large number of people. After all, it was impossible to send a brigade as a guard.

Since you can't destroy the other party, and you have been caught by others, and the other party is not trying to destroy your job, but just cooking and eating together, there is no loss for yourself, so accept one more partner Not so strange.

I don't know if it was because the route was cut off, unable to continue to make money, or because of other reasons, Peter's partner soon replied, and Peter also called Dio immediately.

"Mr. Steward, we have agreed to Major Zhao Hu's participation in the game. We will discuss the details with Major Zhao Hu in Xiaoyu Village. I hope the steward will go back and repair the simple pier first."

Dio, who originally thought it would not be so easy to solve, was taken aback for a moment, but he soon came to his senses and nodded in agreement.

Ouker took the opportunity to express that he needed to buy a large amount of goods to build the territory. Peter generously lent [-] gold coins to Dio, and Kate also waved a big hand and arranged a squadron to help deliver the supplies.

Don’t be surprised how Peter could lend [-] gold coins so easily. He wished that Zhao Hu could not repay the money, so that he could take Zhao Hu as a servant—in the empire, debts that could not be fulfilled were enough to make commoners slaves Woolen cloth.

The southeast peninsula is a place with very strange terrain.

From the map, three sides are facing the sea, and one side is close to the Wirth Freedom Alliance and the Ultraman Empire. It can be said that the land border of the southeastern peninsula is just divided into two by the two countries.

However, this side is a swamp shrouded in miasma. It can be said that there is no land passage in the southeast peninsula, and the southeast peninsula can only be reached by sea.

If not, it would have been annexed by the Free League and the Empire a million years earlier.

In the southeast peninsula, one of the chaotic places that people often talk about, there are thousands of cities of different sizes with a certain scale and population on millions of square kilometers of land. There are countless cottages built on the mountain.

Although on the surface nearly a hundred forces on this island are at war with each other, those who are familiar with the situation know that most of the cities under the hundreds of forces are semi-independent and do not listen to announcements.In other words, almost every city on the southeast peninsula is a power.

Thinking about the number of cities in the southeast peninsula, we can see how chaotic the southeast peninsula is, and why no one has known the exact land area and population of the southeast peninsula for so many years.

However, although there is no accurate information, there are probably some estimates. Generally, everyone agrees that the land area ranges from 200 million square kilometers to 500 million square kilometers, and the population ranges from 600 million to 3000 million.

It's just that people outside the southeast peninsula agree with the small amount of data, while people in the southeast peninsula agree with the large amount of data.

One might ask, how could this chaotic southeast peninsula, sandwiched between two great powers, not be annexed?
Even if you can't attack by land, you can also attack from the sea. You must know that the two big countries can send any legion there, and they can definitely conquer the southeast peninsula.

Or, are the people on the southeast peninsula all idiots?
After so many years, there has not been a person who unified the peninsula?

In theory, it is impossible for such a chaotic place to exist for such a long time, but in fact, these chaotic places are either forced by the terrain or artificially created, and the southeast peninsula is a chaotic place with more human factors than terrain factors.

When it comes to human factors, it is certainly inseparable from the Ultraman Empire and the Wilt Freedom Alliance.

You may still ask why the two major powers are so interested in this rumored southeast peninsula that has no good ports and no special products except grain, stones and wood?
You must know that the coastal areas of the two countries close to the southeast peninsula are poor places without good ports and sparsely populated, and the places facing the swamps in the two countries are just dead places, which can be said to be completely worthless. Southeast Peninsula.
