Chapter 342 Negotiations

After sending away Princess Silvia and her party, Lorist was preparing to leave for the Cavalry Regiment in the eastern part of the Northland, but did not want to receive an urgent letter from the Duke of Kenmax. After more than a month of negotiations, Kenmai The negotiation envoys sent by the Duke of Sis and the Grand Duke of Fesabrunn finally reached an agreement on the import of goods and materials from the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce to the Fessabrunn family territory. So five days later, the Duke of Kenmez, the Earl of Felim and the Earl of Shaheen will Jointly came to Rock Castle to meet with Lorist, so that the agreement reached can be approved and effective.

Lorist had to postpone the trip and stayed at Rock Castle to wait for the arrival of the Duke of Kenmes and others. During the day, he went to the back mountain training ground to guide Shi Huade to practice Pill Sea Entrainment Art, and gave instructions on the swordsmanship of Reddy and Genorio. Stay in the study at night and look up some files quietly. Without a woman by his side, Lorist felt that the world became a lot cleaner...

Five days later, Duke Kenmes and Earl Shaheen came to Rock Castle, but Earl Philim arrived one day late. Except that the Duke of Kenmez felt a bit regretful that Princess Silvia was not at the Rock Castle and missed the sight, everyone was more concerned about the content of the agreement reached between the Duke of Kenmez and the Fesabrunn family.

"There are forty-seven items in total, and I have doubled them three to five times. Unfortunately, the shipment volume is a little bit less. But don’t worry, your family can get at least thirty or forty items after this year’s shipment. Wan Jinford." Kenmes, this guy has become a duke, and he is still so awkward.

Of course, this is not to Lorist. The Norton family in the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce only accounts for 10% of the dividends, which is not too much. In previous years, the dividends of tens of thousands of tens of thousands were considered very good, just like It's the guy Kenmax who said that it mainly depends on the large volume of shipments. The Norton family's profits come from the various daily necessities and commodities produced by the family's factories and mines, which account for almost 80% of the purchases of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce. Here, wholesale to the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce Lorist has made a lot of money, and the family’s 30% of the dividends of the producers are also a lot of money, not counting the taxes that must be paid. .

However, the eyes of Count Philim and Earl Shaheen were bright. For them, the military expenses of maintaining a regular family-armed field corps is a large expenditure each year, even if the family’s armed forces are not as good as the Norton family corps. However, the annual expenditure of four to five million Jinford is inevitable. With this dividend, the pressure on military spending this year is almost gone. The replacement of the two territories last year was completed only by the subsidies provided by Lorist and Kenmez, but this year there is no.

Count Philim picked up the agreement and looked at it a little disappointed: "Is there no armistice clause?"

Although returning to the old territory of the Felim family in the Southern Province, the Southern Province is adjacent to the Fisabrun family territory of the Eastern Desolation Province. The border between the two provinces is intensively building a defensive front. The Rock Army is taking strict measures to guard against the Fisabrunn family. The fire of war has not been extinguished by the attacks of family armed forces and grass barbarian cavalry. For Earl Philim, it is obvious that the armistice agreement is more reassuring than the Rock Legion's top front, otherwise he will not be able to build and develop the family territory with ease, and if there is a storm on the front line, his family armed Pegasus Legion must also be pulled up for a stroll.

"Uh..." Duke Kenmez was stunned for a long time before he replied embarrassedly: "Sorry, I forgot..."

I really forgot that this guy Kenmax only paid attention to the price of the commodity when negotiating. It was like snow salt. It was originally a goldford one hundred catties, but now he has doubled it five times, five goldford one hundred catties. It’s just bullying you, because the four Northland alliances are the winners, so Kenmax pointed to the negotiators sent by Prince Fesabrun and said triumphantly, if you have the ability, don’t buy it. Anyway, there are a lot of alkaline soil bumps on the northeast prairie, you can hold it...

This is strong, and the Duke of Kenmes has forgotten how long it has not been in such a smooth negotiation. Everyone knows that if the alkaline-earth lump water is used as salt water for livestock, they will get sick, not to mention people. Dead people are not strange. Now that the Feisabrun family is trapped on the grassland, the business road is cut off. They can only buy salt from the four alliances in the Northland. If you apologize for the price, then you can eat boiled meat. Eat salt, ha ha, it won’t take three months, just wait for the fierce turmoil of the Fesabrun family territory.

Seeing those negotiators with ugly faces and angry expressions but reluctantly agreeing to a high commodity price, the Duke of Kenmes felt as if he were blooming. Occupying the Jinchuan area is great, and it’s great to have gold mines. The gold you dig out will soon be in our hands... So the Duke of Kenmes forgot the most important point, that is the Northland The four alliances have not yet signed an armistice agreement with the Fisabrun family, and the two sides are still at war. Even if there has been no conflict for several months, they are still at war...

"Where are the negotiators?" Lorist asked.

"Follow me to Rock Castle." The Duke of Kenmes replied quickly, and he had to make up for such a big mistake immediately: "One is that this agreement still needs your consent to be implemented, and the other has not yet discussed where to trade and deliver goods. Okay. In the end it was the two negotiators who said they would meet Princess Silvia."

"Let them go to the reception room and I will talk to them." Lorist looked at Earl Felim and Earl Shaheen: "Come on, too. If Grand Duke Feisabrun is convinced to lose, the armistice agreement will also be signed. Certainly, it's a relief for us, and we don't need to take precautions."

The envoys sent by Grand Duke Feisabrunn to negotiate were headed by two old men. The first one was tall and had a gray goatee. He introduced himself as the chief steward of the Feisabrun family and was named Fei. Sabron, Aridok. Lorist heard from the two maids of Princess Silvia that the old man was considered a member of the Fei Sablon family. Although he had a Fei Sablon's surname, his relatives were a bit distant. However, this old man is a diehard loyal of the archduke, and archduke Fisabrun also believed in him very much, and always entrusted him with his secret matters.

The old man next to him is short and chubby, and it's easy to feel close to Mimi all the time. He introduced himself as Naples without mentioning his surname. Lorist immediately remembered several pieces of information about important members of the Fesabrun family submitted by Tagore. This Naples was not only famous on the list, but also a figure worthy of special attention.

According to the information, Naples' father was the head of a small tribe in Caoman, and his mother was an aristocratic wife. She was taken into the grassland and became his father's slave girl and gave birth to Naples. Then his father's grass-barbarian tribe was annexed by another big grass-barbarian tribe. His father died in battle, his mother was humiliated and died, and Naples became a slave. Later, when he was sixteen years old, he secretly contacted Grand Duke Feisabrun and wiped out the big grass-barbarian tribe in one fell swoop. That battle was the most crucial victory for the Archduke Fesabrunn to open up territories for the former Christian Empire and establish the Eastern Desolate Province.

This Naples has no formal position in the Fesabrunn family and has always been a little mysterious. But many of the tactics of Archduke Feisabrun against the grass-barbarian tribes should have been planned by him. Like before, he sold the goods and materials of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce to the grass-barbarian tribes to win over the submissive grass-barbarian tribes and select the grass-barbarian cavalry. The elite formed a reserve army to deal with the grass-barbarian tribes who refused to surrender to the Fey Sablon family, and so on, all of which had something to do with the short and fat old man in front of him.

As Lorist looked at the two old men, the representatives of the two envoys were also observing Lorist. The four nobles sitting here are the heads of the four major families of the Northland Four Alliances, but the two envoys quickly focused on Lorester. From the outside, the head of the Norton family, the newly appointed Grand Duke of the North, is very ordinary. Not tall, not short, ordinary-looking, inconspicuous, just like a passerby.

Indeed, compared with the Duke of Kenmez, Lorester does not have the kind of suave, unrestrained attitude. He did not look as handsome as Earl Shaheen, and did not have the mighty and mighty generals of Earl Felim. But these two messengers can be entrusted by the Grand Duke Feisabrun to negotiate with their confidants. They are all human beings, and naturally they will not save others by appearance. Moreover, when they came, they all heard His Royal Highness comment on the Four Northland Alliances. His Highness clearly pointed out that the so-called Northland Four Alliances really threatened the Feisabrun family is the Norton family, or Luo. Lister.

To make it harder to say, what are the three in the Northland? It was impossible for them to line up to flatter the Fesabren family. The Kenmes family is a business family. It was only at a big price to buy the title of the nobleman of the territory from the second prince. In the eyes of Grand Duke Feisabrun, it was the role of the sheep and the prince, and he would not even look at it. .

The Philim family was very famous a hundred years ago, but now it’s just a ruin. Count Philim was born and died for the second prince, and charged into battle. He had to spend money to become a baron on the ground. Even the second prince sent someone to dig his family cemetery. He didn't dare to gnaw on the so-called buried property, it was just a waste.

As for Earl Shahin, his background is even less worth mentioning. He was originally a family golden knight under the former Duke of the Northland, Duke Luckins. He was ordered by the Grand Duke to attack the Norton family and was captured. Then Duke Lukins made a big mistake. He even shifted the responsibility for the defeat to him and wanted him to be punished, forcing his father to pass on his baronial title to him and let him become a vassal family head of the Lukins family. Exempt him from rebellion. Finally, when Duke Lukins assembled the Northland aristocratic coalition to send troops to the Norton family, the Baron Shaheen not only stood by and watched the Duke Lukins defeat, but also took the opportunity to fight back. Together with the Norton family forces, they ransacked the Duke of Lukins. In the southern part of the Northland, he dug the first pot of gold, and inherited most of the military power of the Luckins family.

Without Lorist, these three are just a mess. It is very easy for Archduke Fesabrunn to deal with them. It is not much more difficult than the aristocrats in the southern province who occupied the King City of Windbury. But with the support of the Norton family, the four alliances of the Northland have become a powerful aristocratic alliance that can not be underestimated by anyone. Their strength is second to none in the northeastern region of the former Christian Empire, and they have become the Antinac. The power of the kingdom. This can be proved by the demise of Madras and the Iberian Kingdom.

The key to the four Northland alliances is the Norton family, and the one who can really call the shots is Lorist. This was the exhortation of the Grand Duke on their departure, and they kept it in their hearts.

"Please sit down." Lorester said straight to the point: "We don't need to talk too much nonsense. What I want to know is, what does Grand Duke Fesabrunn think? Is he willing to truce, or is he going to make a deal before continuing with Our four Northland alliances go down hard and refuse to admit defeat?"

The tall Aridok stood up and stroked his chest: "His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of the North, it is not up to our Grand Duke to cease the war without ending the war, but when you will stop the invasion of the Fesabrunn family. . As we all know, it was your four Northland alliances that initiated this war. The undeclared war raided our family’s first border ranger regiment, and the Grand Duke was forced to resist. Although we are currently at a disadvantage, our Philippines The Sablon family will never succumb to the threat of force. Just like we defeated your cavalry army in Makinohara province, we are confident to hold on to the moment of final victory."

Lorist laughed: "The dead duck is the hardest. Okay, since you are not willing to admit defeat, that would be great. I have always wanted to lead the family armed to go to the prairie territory of the Fesabrunn family. Don't worry, this The agreement reached this time, our four Northland alliances will continue to implement, war belongs to war, business belongs to business, as long as you are willing to pay, like these civilian biological supplies, we will not prohibit the flow into your family."

"I protest, Your Royal Highness the Great Duke of the North, this is an unjustified and unreasonable attack on a nobleman who has made countless contributions to the empire to guard the frontiers and expand the land for thousands of miles. This is an act rejected by all nobles. Not only can your aggression purpose be unachievable, Even the Norton family will be condemned by all peace-loving nobles..."

"Haha, is that right?" Lorist sneered: "The former empire has long been wiped out, or it is perished in the hands of three princes. Alidoc, I have to remind you that our four Northland alliances belong to Andina In the Kingdom of Krishna, His Majesty Ogsero is the orthodox inheritance of the former Christian Empire. But your Fesabrunn family is the remnant of the rebellious second prince. Attacking your family has nothing to do with morality, it is just a counter-insurgency to us. War. No one will protest to us for your family. On the contrary, what Archduke Fesabrunn did to the nobles in Windbury is worthy of publicity and discussion..."

"Uh..." Manager Alidoc was speechless.

But Naples by his side immediately stood up: "His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of the North, our Grand Duke does not want to fight with you. He has always believed that his mission is to deal with the predatory grass-barbarian tribes on the Northeast Prairie. In fact, the war between our family and your Northland four alliances is the most saddened by the Grand Duke... I would like to ask is, if our Grand Duke is willing to truce, how will you treat our Fesabrunn family?"

Lorist shrugged: "In view of our relationship with the Fiesabrunn family, no matter what we negotiated about the military terms, we cannot trust each other. If your Fiesabrunn family is willing to cease the war, it is very simple. Within a hundred miles, your family’s armed forces are not allowed to enter. If there are circumstances, we must first notify our frontier guards. Any merchandise and materials must be bought and sold through the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce. UU Reading www.uukánshu.com will also make your family’s armed forces transparent. , Inform us before any military operations. In addition, Makinohara Province is related to the safety of the North, and we have the right to station troops there to ensure the safety of the North..."

"This is impossible. Why can't you withdraw hundreds of miles behind the border? Why can't we station troops in the North?" Alidoc jumped up.

"It's very simple, because we are the one to win." Lorist told them straightforwardly the truth of a winner: "Now, I want to know whether Grand Duke Feisabrun wants to fight or if he wants to fight..."

Manager Aridok was not convinced yet and wanted to say something, but Naples pulled him by his side, and he shut up and lowered his head.

"His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of the North, our Grand Duke sent Princess Silvia to express his opinion." Naples replied humbly.

Lorist stood up and said, "Since Grand Duke Feisabrun has made up his mind, you can discuss the specific terms of the armistice agreement with Grand Duke Kenmax. But what I want to say is that I send Duke Fesabrun to I was very dissatisfied with the way of coming to Princess Silvia."

"His Royal Highness Northland, we want to visit Her Royal Highness, I wonder if it can pass?"

"Sorry, Princess Silvia went to the Roaring Bear City, the capital of the North, you should know where it is. She went there to check her new home. By the way, in November this year, I will have a wedding there. Marry Silvia as the wife, and she will become the mistress of the Norton family. At the same time, please invite Grand Duke Feisabrun on my behalf to welcome him to the Northland and participate in his granddaughter’s wedding ceremony. I sincerely await his arrival.”

Lorist finished speaking coldly and turned to leave.
