There is something wrong with my dating simulator

"Then...what about the principal? Did he...?"

"Oh, you mean Principal Tiramisu, the one performing over there. I heard that he donated all his salary. He's a good principal!"

Is this really something Tiramisu can do?

Could it be that Lin Yuanshan was coercing him again using some cruel means?

Then the next stop is the recently built steel mill.

Latifah lied that she was a relative of the factory director Macron and sneaked into the factory.

"Do you know how much money the kingdom has swallowed up here? Even the facilities on the surface have been sold for gold to build the factory. If there is any problem with this batch of steel again, all of us will commit seppuku to apologize!"

Macaron, wearing a hard hat, yelled while holding a blueprint.

Latifah always felt that his temperament was a little different from before.

So she didn't disturb his work anymore.

After returning to the palace, Latifah fell into deep self-doubt.

"Could it be that I have misunderstood Lin Yuanshan? He is not an ambitious person at all, but a loyal minister who is saving the country and the people?"

the other side.

“Isuzu, you are too naive to tell me about saving the country and the people.

As long as Latifa can be saved, even if all the young and strong men in the Red Maple Kingdom are killed, it is an acceptable price. "

Lin Yuanshan said this with a normal expression.

As for the Steel Works and Arcane University.

He had not paid attention to that kind of place for a long time.

But before that, Macaron wrote him a note saying that he wanted to sell Gancheng.

Anyway, that thing is of no use, so just sell it!

Chapter 159: The Story of Gancheng: Latifa's Beauty Trap

"Gentlemen, Dafeng needs a baptism of blood and fire."

Isuzu said this at the imperial meeting.

This is not the first time she has made such an opinion.

As a military noble, she was naturally not averse to war.

And the current intensity of the war in the wizarding world was nothing she could resist.

"No, I don't want to see my people die on the battlefield under my orders!"

Latifa objected without hesitation.

As the queen of the kingdom, she believes that she needs to be responsible for everyone in the kingdom.

Although the Red Maple Kingdom is still mired in trouble, it has shown some signs of winning the resurrection match. There is no reason to provoke a border conflict at this time.

Although Lin Yuanshan felt that her political awareness was somewhat inadequate, it was better to have her own ideological program than to have none.

In contrast, Isuzu fights simply for the sake of war. She believes that war can solve the conflicts and difficulties of the kingdom.

And win hope of survival for Latifah.

However, what cannot be done through economics and politics cannot be achieved through war alone.

Because Latifa and Isuzu were both the manager and acting manager of Gancheng, their differences in decision-making naturally divided their subordinates into two factions.

But everyone knows that there is someone else whose words really count at the court meeting.

Lin Yuanshan knew that it was time for him to speak.

Although his activities in the Red Maple Kingdom were aimed at saving Latifah, Lin Yuanshan's ultimate goal was to capture Isuzu, so there was no need to hesitate at this time.

What does the future of the kingdom have to do with him!

As the saying goes, measure the material resources of Dafeng and make Isuzu happy!

【You chose to support Isuzu at the meeting】

[Latifah refused to attend court the next day to express her protest]

[But the Maple Kingdom is the same with or without her]

[The kingdom is still functioning normally, as if the king's disappearance is a trivial matter]

[The unwilling Latifa chooses to invite you to the palace for a talk]

The palace of Latifah has been a little deserted recently. The queen who has lost power, or who has never been in power, is like a sparrow living in a cage.

She hadn't noticed this before, but now she has come to realize it.

This is not a fight for power, but for the people of the empire.

Thinking so, Latifah put on a smiling face when Lin Yuanshan arrived.

She had never had a good impression of Lin Yuanshan. After all, this man forced her to kill her father, and after helping her ascend the throne, he turned her into a puppet.

But in fact, even Isuzu was on her side at the beginning, but her long-term inaction in politics made the power naturally slide to the general manager Lin Yuanshan.

Now that the people of Red Maple have realized her weakness and naivety, they naturally will no longer place their political hopes on her.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to discuss with me?"

"Lin-san, let's not talk about this for now. Try the croquettes I made."

Lin Yuanshan nodded when he heard this, and after sitting down in front of Latifah, he took out a silver needle and pierced the croquette.

"..."

Latifa was speechless.

Lin Yuanshan said:

"I'm sorry, I have some psychological trauma, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Pulling out the silver needle, seeing that it had not turned black, Lin Yuanshan took out a hamster from his arms.

I fed the hamster a bite of croquette and saw that the hamster was fine.

Finally I dared to put the croquette in my mouth.

"Your Majesty's craftsmanship is still as exquisite as ever."

"Haha, I wish I was still making croquettes in Gancheng, and I wouldn't have such a heavy burden on my shoulders."

"Your Majesty, are you overthinking it? Dafeng is at least much better than when you first ascended the throne."

Lin Yuanshan did not lie when he said this.

He did do some practical work in the past few months. At least he filled the vacancies of officials in the royal capital and promoted a group of professional affairs officers.

Compared to the nobles who relied on their status to get to the top, this group of people still had some ability to get things done.

But compared to some nobles whose interests were tied to the royal family, these promoted officials only knew how to do their work.

To put it simply, he is a pure worker.

The only people who can be fully trusted and whose loyalty can be relied upon are those in Gancheng.

Currently, the accountant Yaxie leads the administrative officers to be in charge of the administrative assessment work in the capital.

In fact, it is just a major reshuffle of officials in the royal capital.

Replace them all with obedient ones, then we can make the big moves.

"Let's not talk about that. What do you think of me, Mr. Lin?"

Latifa abruptly brought the subject back.

While saying this, she consciously showed off her figure in gorgeous clothes.

I can only say that it is extremely regrettable.

And what is this, a beauty trap?

Latifa, are you this kind of person?

Don't show this kind of expression that's shy, a little deliberate, and a little humiliated and disgusted!

I'm not Dong Zhuo, I don't like this!

"Ahem, the wind is a bit noisy today. I can't hear what Your Majesty just said."

Latifa seems to think that she can only play the card of beauty.

But in fact, just revealing her identity as the queen and issuing a secret decree would be enough to get Lin Yuanshan and Isuzu in trouble.

She just didn't realize it.

Anyway, the beauty trap is useless to Lin Yuanshan.

If he hadn't encountered a love simulator, he wouldn't even have a relationship. Women would only slow down his pace in unifying the dark world.

Faced with Lin Yuanshan's rejection, Latifah's face showed obvious disappointment.

"Can you tell me why?"

"what?"

"Tell me the reason, Lin Yuanshan, why did you choose Isuzu instead of me, the queen."

"Uh...I like a bigger one?"

"..."

Although she didn't like Lin Yuanshan at all, Latifa still felt strangely angry.

That kind of thing is just useless fat!

"Then your majesty, I will take my leave first."

Lin Yuanshan felt that if he stayed any longer, five hundred swordsmen might come out from behind the screen and hack him to death.

----------

The parade ground outside the royal capital.

"boom!!!"

"Hmm...it always feels a little off."

Isuzu said this as he looked at the twelve-pound bronze magic field cannon in front of him.

Because the city walls in this world have magic bonuses, the caliber of the artillery has been developed to be larger.

Mainly used for siege.

The idea of ​​small-caliber field artillery was only proposed now by "Spanner", the former facilities minister of Gancheng.

Therefore, when Isuzu saw this small-caliber "toy", it always felt that it was not impressive enough.

Until the sound of horse hooves behind her woke her up from her thoughts.

It’s Lin Yuanshan.

"How about it? Doesn't this thing look good? It's more than enough for a few military blackmails!"

Lin Yuanshan said this as he dismounted from his horse.

"It just doesn't feel exciting enough. Lin Yuanshan, do you think we can get the 'tank' from the upper realm?"

"What are you thinking? Without an industrial chain, even if we build tanks for you, they will break down after driving a short distance. Field artillery is enough. We are not trying to destroy your country. We are just blackmailing you militarily!"

Lin Yuanshan emphasized the main theme of the upcoming war.

Just kidding. As for the current Dafeng, it can use some new things to pretend to be a powerful country, but if a total war really breaks out, its true colors will be exposed in no time.

"So, Maple's national defense is outsourced?"
