Godsend Field

Chapter 342 Knock on the Mountain
There are more than a hundred people in the entire Palace of Qinzheng, but today it seems that this place has become a stage for Deputy Counselor Nero alone!
Seat Chamber of Commerce, known to everyone in the empire, is one of the three major chambers of commerce in the empire and the oldest chamber of commerce in the empire.And this chamber of commerce married the Kate family, the minister of state affairs of the empire, decades ago, which made the chamber of commerce go a step further!Seat Chamber of Commerce and the Kate family also got along very well, and how many people died of envy in the empire!
However, just today, Duke Kate even waved a butcher knife at the SEAT Chamber of Commerce!

The most powerful family began to trim the wealthiest family!
A crime of endangering the empire is enough to kill SEAT's entire chamber of commerce!

Safeiros should have been the most troublesome person, but at this moment he became the most relaxed.Just now, I was still worried about whether the countermeasures in my hands could satisfy the eldest prince and whether I could keep my head, but now I am fine, and Deputy Counselor Nero has helped him a huge favor invisibly.

"Regent, Duke Regent, I think Duke Kate's request is feasible. In this way, no one in the chamber of commerce in the empire dares to raise prices indiscriminately, and we can control it!"

The eldest prince looked at Saphiroth below, and now two of the three ministers have expressed their views!
"Old Marshal, here you have the most seniority and have followed your father the longest, what do you think?" the eldest prince asked.

Marshal Lankers's spirit was still extremely decadent at this time, "Regent, this matter is a matter for the Ministry of Government Affairs, and the veteran is the Ministry of Military Affairs. According to the rules, we should not interfere!"

"Brother, you have to think about it clearly. It is such a big deal to revise the Ming Code and regulations. If something goes wrong, you and I can't afford it. What's more, the father is still alive, even if you and I are the regent and the assistant. Lord, I have no right to do this! And if this law comes out, the imperial chambers of commerce will close their doors one after another, or even take their wealth to other empires, at that time we will be committing a heinous crime! What do you think, sixth brother?"

The sixth prince, who usually only listens and does not speak, also stood up, "Brother, what the third brother said makes sense. We shouldn't change the plain text code. It was ordered by our ancestors. If we change it casually, it will be unfilial! Although the father and king have done it before. , but the father is an unrivaled lord, not something we can compare to!"

The eldest prince suddenly felt guilty, and the paper in his hand was like a million catties.

"Regent, a special law for a special period! Whether it is chaos or stability, it's all up to you!" Nero said coldly.

"Nile, are you forcing the regent to do something unrighteous and unfilial?" the third prince roared.

"Prince Counselor, I am thinking of the empire!" Nero said unyieldingly.

After a while, the eldest prince put the two memorials in his hands on the bright yellow table behind him, "Deputy Counselor Nero, this matter is of great importance, let us consider it slowly! Nero is for the country and the people." , is worthy of learning by all officials!"

Nero smiled coldly and said nothing more!When the chaos and stability crossed the border, the eldest prince hesitated and dared not make a decision.I am afraid that the empire will turn from stability to chaos from now on!
Safeiros also sighed at the same time, and retreated sadly!
"Saphiroth, I know what's going on, what countermeasures does your finance department have?" the eldest prince asked suddenly.

"Reporting to the Regent, our finance department has discussed three points for reference! First, we will come forward to discuss with major chambers of commerce, hoping to reduce the price, at least not let them increase again! Second, we will help them Raise purple gold coins! Third, I hope that the regent can restrain them with decrees, lest they endanger the safety of the empire!"

The eldest prince was already in a bit of a mess at this time, "Hurry up and deal with the first two points, as for the third point, I will think about it myself!"

Safeiros didn't say anything more and retreated to his seat.

When the main hall calmed down a bit, the third prince suddenly said, "Deputy Counselor Nero, you said yesterday that you will come to discuss the matter of General William today. I wonder if you have any clever plans now?"

The old Marshal Lankers, who had been depressed just now, trembled slightly, and his eyes suddenly filled with concern.

Nero stood up and said, "Reporting to Duke Fuzheng, this matter is quite difficult, but it is not urgently needed to be resolved. Nowadays, there are many affairs in the empire, so let's wait a few days to deal with this matter!"

"Wait for a while? Are you planning to procrastinate?" The third prince sneered, "I thought you could come up with a plan to get the best of both worlds after a night's rest. It turned out that you planned to use the procrastination. Do you want to procrastinate until the French thieves take our big brother?" Will the general be killed?"

The generals of the military were also dissatisfied at this time, and the old marshal even closed his eyes, and a tear flowed down.

"Regent, assistant regent, this matter is related to the general of the military department, and privately is the grandson of the old marshal, so we might as well listen to the old marshal's opinion before making a decision?" Nero said and walked away Go to the old marshal, take out a piece of paper and hand it to the old marshal, "Old marshal, this is a document of our empire. You must have seen it before, but I still hope that the old marshal can review it!"

Marshal Lankers was different, took it with trembling hands, and watched carefully.After a while, the old marshal came to the front, "Regent and Assistant Regent, although William was captured by Fran, it was because of his inadvertent leadership of the troops. Even if he was humiliated and killed, he should be punished, so please don't worry about it anymore." William's affairs are too much work, why not let it go as Deputy Counselor Nero said, other matters of the empire are important!"

The three princes were taken aback for a moment, but they didn't expect the old marshal to openly support Nero's proposal.The generals below had nothing to say at the moment.William is the grandson of the old marshal and his hope. The old marshal has said so, what else can they say?

The third prince frowned, thinking, his eyes couldn't help but stare at the piece of paper in the hands of Marshal Lankers.

The eldest prince seemed a little relaxed, "Since the old marshal said so, let's let it go!"

After the end of the court meeting, Saphiroth immediately organized all the officials of the Ministry of Finance and began to prepare for contact and consultation with the Imperial Chamber of Commerce.The time is also set for tomorrow morning, at the central attic of the SEAT Chamber of Commerce!
From the beginning of today's court meeting, the top floor of a luxurious high-rise restaurant in the middle of the imperial capital Ancona has been full of people.More than 30 seats were arranged neatly in public, and there were also a lot of seats behind!

The well-dressed and rich businessmen were discussing in low voices, each of them seemed a little anxious.In a very inconspicuous corner, stood two slightly fat men.

"Dunlingde, tell me the truth, how much did you buy from them this time?" the president of the Lazio Chamber of Commerce asked quietly.

"This amount!" Guild Leader Dunlinde gestured at his subordinates, and said carefully, "I guess I can earn this amount this time!"

The president of Lazio looked down and found that no one was paying attention to them. "Dun Lingde, do you think there is something wrong? We can't earn this kind of purple gold coins, and they will be struck by lightning!"

"Do you think I think? When did our Dunlingde Chamber of Commerce earn this kind of purple gold coin? But is it okay to not make money now? You didn't see that Mann, who appeared in front of us all the time. He is the representative of the three The prince supervises us!" President Dunlinde sighed.

The president of Lazio glanced at Mann, who was sitting in front of the chief seat, and shook his head helplessly, "Oh, I joined the business alliance before, just hoping to have an organization of our own, and it would be the best if we can have the third prince to take care of us. But look now, what have our business alliances done! I really regret it now!"

"Lazio, don't talk nonsense. If you quit today, your Lazio Chamber of Commerce will probably go bankrupt tomorrow. Don't tell me you want to join Mesto? The third prince won't let you go!"

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. I think we're going to be unlucky sooner or later!"

"Deng! Deng! Deng!" There was a rush of footsteps, and many waiters ran up, found their master's house, whispered in their ears, and then ran down quickly.

"Wow!" The room suddenly exploded!
Mann also received the news, his face turned pale immediately, and he clapped his hands on the table, "Damn bastard, he's coming for real!"

The rich merchants found their seats one after another and sat down.

"Master Mann, just now we heard that your grandfather and your cousin jointly signed a petition to punish us. I don't know if you have received it!" said one of the presidents. .

Mann said with a livid face, "I received it!"

"Master Mann, they seem to be fighting against us this time. I think it has something to do with our recent increase in prices. As the saying goes, businessmen don't fight with officials, so let's lower prices!" President Lingde stood up and said.

The rest of the presidents, especially the presidents of the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce sitting in the back were also worried at this time, and nodded in agreement.The presidents of large chambers of commerce are also hesitant.

"What are you all worried about!" Mann patted the table, and the room suddenly fell silent, all eyes focused on Mann, "Isn't this request not yet ready? Besides, it's ready, and we Seat are the ones who bear the brunt of it." , what are you afraid of?"

"But Master Mann, Duke Kate seldom manages the affairs of our merchants on weekdays. But this time, His Excellency Duke raised it out of illness. I am afraid that the matter will never be simple. We are afraid that when the time comes, our merchant alliance will suffer heavy losses. Ah!" the president of Lazio said worriedly.

The presidents of the other 30 or so large chambers of commerce also nodded secretly. Duke Kate’s name is too prominent, and he must attach great importance to the request he made in person while sick. I can't go around!

"Afraid, afraid, afraid! What are you people afraid of! Do you still think my grandfather is the grandfather of three years ago? Now he is just an old man who is sick and has no rights and incompetence at home! If they are really so powerful, why? Can't you be allowed to play at today's court meeting?" Mann reprimanded loudly, and at this time Mann was even more dignified than when he met Tianci last time, "President Lazio, your distant cousin and the meeting of the Bar Chamber of Commerce I haven't asked you what you mean by getting married, do you think the water in our business alliance is too shallow to accommodate a dragon like you, so you want to climb another branch?"

"Master Mann, my Lazio Chamber of Commerce absolutely didn't mean that! That's just a distant relative, and basically has nothing to do with our Lazio family. It's just that they couldn't survive, so they sent their daughter to us and wanted to have a relationship with my son Lan. I don’t want to see Barr. It was Barr who fell in love with her at first sight, so she abandoned my son Lange and married Barr. At the time of the wedding, our Lazio Chamber of Commerce did not send anyone or give a gift, and it also stated that we had no relationship with us. It doesn't matter, everyone has seen and heard this!"

Mann snorted coldly!

At this time, another waiter ran up and whispered something in Mann's ear.Mann's face gradually relaxed.

After the waiter went down, Mann stood up, "Presidents, I can tell you the latest news. Just now, the coordinator sent someone to tell me that it is absolutely impossible to pass the love form about my grandfather. , Fuzheng asked me to inform everyone, you can rest assured! Another news, tomorrow we will negotiate with the finance department, their main purpose is to reduce prices and raise purple gold coins, their methods, conditions, and means I have already Got it. Now we know their bargaining chips, but they don't know our bargaining chips, so in this negotiation, we will win in the end!"

The house that was still a little commotion just now calmed down, and all the presidents, big and small, seemed to have taken a reassurance!

"All the presidents can rest assured now? You just need to remember that as long as you follow our business alliance and the Fuzhenggong, you will not lose money. Fuzhenggong also said that the purple gold coins you earned this time belong to you My own, as for the 'dangerous national debt' will be honored!"

"it is good!"

"We follow the business alliance, follow the assistant government!"

The presidents of some small and medium-sized chambers of commerce in the back row suddenly became excited.

"I will bring ten large, medium-sized and small chambers of commerce to this negotiation. I will roll the names, and keep the ones I count, and the rest can go back!" Mann suddenly said, "Large chambers of commerce, Lazio chamber of commerce..."

After the court meeting, Nero went directly to Antian Mansion, and after handling some necessary government affairs, he left early in the afternoon and returned to the Duke's Mansion.

"Grandpa, it's exactly as you said, the eldest prince hesitated to act arbitrarily, and our two memorials were thrown aside!" Ni Luo said unwillingly.

"As expected! This boss is still capable of fighting, but he lacks too much in government affairs. His Majesty's mind, bearing, kingship, and domineering can't be seen in him at all! If His Majesty is still awake, I'm afraid Seat's head has already moved, so do we still need such a lot of painstaking efforts?" Duke Kate said slowly, "But our play today is called knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. It's about beating them and letting them Don't be too arrogant!"

"Grandpa, I don't think this attack is very effective! I went to see Mann yesterday. Now that he has the support of the third prince, he has a much tougher temper. He doesn't even think of you... even me. !"

"You? I'm afraid you're not even afraid of me anymore!

"Grandpa, what shall we do next? Should we just let the third prince run amok in the empire?"

Duke Kate nodded, "Nile, with your current abilities, what can you do?"

Nero lowered his head and whispered in Duke Kate's ear, and Duke Kate nodded slightly.

After leaving the duke's room, a waiter immediately ran up to inform Nero that Miss Jane had something very important to ask Nero.Nero didn't say much, and walked towards Ning Yuan with big strides.

There are four people sitting in the gazebo in Ningyuan, Jane Anrui, and then Aunt Ni and Mann!

"Mom, Dad, Aunt Ni!" Nero greeted politely.

Ni looked at Ni Luo enthusiastically, "Hehe, Ni Luo is becoming more and more like a father now. I heard that people outside are called Ni Luo, the Minister of State Affairs! You are really promising, much better than your two cousins!"

Nero smiled slightly, expressing his acquiescence!Mann next to him had a look of disdain.

"Nile, I heard from my sister just now that you mentioned punishing Seat in the government today. Is it true?" Zhen asked with concern.

"Mom, it's true!" Nero nodded.

"Why is that!" Jane asked, "Our Kate family and the Seat family are in-laws!"

"Mom, this is grandpa's decision. If you want to know why, you can ask grandpa!"

"Ask Dad?" Ni was a little anxious, "Jane and I went three times just now, but we were blocked by Gauss, and he said that Dad is not in good health and can't see people. Let's come back in a few days! We are his daughters." , can't we even see him?"

Seeing Ni's resentful and disappointed eyes, Zhen sighed helplessly.

Nero nodded, "Grandpa's health has deteriorated recently. When I went to see him just now, grandpa was still resting. I think Gauss said that because he was afraid that you would disturb his rest. Mama and Auntie, don't be offended. !"

Ni's eyes lit up, "Nile, so you have seen your father, then you must know why? Both of us are in-laws, you are the future minister of state affairs, and Mann is the future president of SEAT. It’s a cousin, so it’s fine to say no to something in private, why bother to make it above the court, so that everyone in the world knows about it?”

Nero took a deep breath, "Aunt Ni, I think it might be that Grandpa is a little dissatisfied with the recent actions of SEAT Chamber of Commerce!"

"Dissatisfied? Your uncle has been to the Grand Empire for the past two years, and Mann and the elders are in charge of the SEAT Chamber of Commerce. Mann, what did you do to make your grandfather unhappy?" Ni asked immediately. .

"I didn't do anything, I was doing business honestly!" Mann said bluntly, "Grandpa has been lying in bed for so long, how could he know everything? I said there must be some villains whispering in Grandpa's ears." Make a small report!"

"You..." Ni was a little annoyed.

"Sister, Mann may have been confused for a while. How about this? Mann and Nero are both here. Why don't you let the two of them talk together and have a frank and honest talk, so as to clear up the misunderstanding!" Jane quickly pulled Ni and said.

"Well, this is a good idea!" Ni said, waving her hands at Mann.

Jane also winked at Nero.

Nero swallowed, "I see! But these are government affairs, let's go to the side and talk about them!"

Nero walked in front, and Mann followed, until he reached the crooked bridge that just entered the door.Standing in the middle of the small bridge, Nero turned around and looked at Mann behind him, "Get straight to the point! I will give you another chance, no matter who ordered you to do this, who gave you the courage to do so, in tomorrow's negotiation, you will unconditionally Prices down to the beginning!"

Mann snorted coldly, "Stop talking to me like that. Don't think that I'm being subdued this time. If my mother hadn't forced me to come here, I wouldn't want to see your face! Who do you think you are? Don't think that you are If you inherit the name of Kate, you will definitely be able to become the Minister of State Affairs, and it is still a matter of who can take the position of Minister of State Affairs in the end!"

Nero stared at Mann for a moment, "Hmph, it seems that you know a lot, the third prince told you! No wonder you haven't been baptized yet, you are planning to inherit Kate's name! Let me tell you clearly , in the name of Kate, you are not worthy!"

"I'm not worthy, are you worthy? Don't forget that everyone is a grandson, and in terms of age, I am older than you, I am your brother!"

"My brother? It's a joke, I, Nero, have only one brother since birth!" Nero took a step closer to Mann, his face darkened, and his cold words made Mann shudder, "The last time you insulted my brother, my brother told you, He doesn't need to kill you for a few breaths. And I, Nero, will tell you today that if I want to destroy your entire Seat family, it will also take no time!"

Mann took two steps back trembling all over, "It's up to you...and that miscellaneous..."

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

Nero rubbed his right fist, flicked his sleeves and walked out of Ning Yuan with his back turned.

"Clatter!" With the sound of water, a embarrassed figure stood up from the pond, pointed at Nero's figure and cursed, "You...you remember, I want you to repay the humiliation of today twice, and what's more... Negotiation tomorrow, I want yours to look good!"
