Become the Archbishop from Douluo

Luo Qianrou looked at Leng Xiyue questioningly, and Leng Xiyue nodded.

In this kind of diplomatic meeting, it is best for both parties to keep the same number of people even for talks. Now Tiandou's side is the three royal family members Xue Ye, Xue Qinghe, and Xue Xing, and her side is herself, Nishizumi Miho and Tian. Dreams happen to be relatively symmetrical, and seats can be arranged reasonably.

But Ning Fengzhi obviously wasn't because of the seat. After all, 4v4 wasn't impossible to arrange. Obviously, Emperor Xue Ye wanted to use this meeting to talk to her about some more important things that even Ning Fengzhi had better not know about.

In the huge conference room, there were only six people left at this time, and Xue Ye didn't say any polite words, and the two parties sat directly at both ends of the conference table.

Leng Xiyue noticed that Xue Ye's originally benevolent face was now a little more dignified, and her eyes stayed on Leng Xiyue, as if she wanted to see from this young monarch some shortcomings that only young people have. Unfortunately, he failed.

Arrogant, cowardly, timid, rude, arrogant, if she can achieve such an achievement at such a young age, Xue Ye will definitely be proud of it, and may even get lost in this great achievement.But it's a pity that none of these things can be seen on Leng Xiyue. From the beginning to the end, she has a dignified and dignified appearance, and she doesn't feel inferior to herself, the ruler of the thousand-year empire, as if this is a Just like an ordinary thing.

After a long time, Xue Ye finally said: "Young emperor, I know that your friendship with us Tiandou is only superficial, because our conflicts have been difficult to reconcile since the establishment of your empire, and your friendship with ordinary people Although his attitude is very enviable and an extremely bold attempt, it has to be said that this kind of problem stemming from the foundation of the two empires is extremely difficult to solve—no matter how high-sounding you say on the surface .”

Leng Xiyue thought that Xue Ye might talk about some unfriendly things in this meeting, but these words undoubtedly hit the nail on the head, directly seeing through the fundamental contradiction in the superficial friendship between the two countries - class struggle.

As the saying goes, how can you allow other people to snore on the side of the couch, with the jewels of the Nine Provinces Empire in front of them, many ordinary people in the Tiandou Empire have already begun to wait for the opportunity to run away with their families, and the nobles are trying their best to prevent this behavior, because they need these mules Malays protect themselves and work for themselves, so they have to improve the treatment of ordinary people.

Probably from a beggar who can only guarantee enough food to an ordinary pariah who can wear several complete clothes.

On the other hand, the Kyushu Empire's propaganda efforts are increasing day by day. Due to the vastness of the Northland and the sparse population, even if it accommodates a few million more people, it is estimated that it will be a matter of building a few more cities in suitable places.

After these mules and horses who had successfully entered the Northern Empire could become human beings after being educated, they had the same hatred thinking as most of the northern aborigines, that is, hatred of nobles.

Under the influence of this trend of thought, although on the surface the Kyushu Empire is still vigorously exporting armaments and weapons to Tiandou, hiding hidden dangers under false friendship, but like Xue Ye, who has been an emperor for decades and is well versed in political tactics People, on the other hand, quickly perceive the essence hidden under prosperity.

But is there any way for him to stop it?No, because Tiandou's policy towards the ordinary people of the lower class is like this, and now they are only promoted from mules to pariahs, which has already weakened the tax revenue a lot.

It seems that the improvement is not much, but it can be extended to the level of the entire empire. Giving one more steamed bun every day is a huge expense. The more resources the nobles spend on civilians, they can hand them over to the empire or arm themselves and can be used by the empire during wartime. Fewer troops are conscripted into battle.

From Xue Ye's point of view, based on his personality, he would actually like to see the treatment of ordinary people improved, but as an emperor, he can only assist the nobles to enslave ordinary people.

Even so, with the propaganda of the Kyushu Empire, this kind of treatment is obviously not enough. Xue Ye knows very well that with the blessing of guns, the fighting power of these ordinary people is no less than that of the soul master, the soul master, and the elite. It can even be compared with the soul king, the soul emperor, the more refugees there are in Tiandou, the stronger the national power of the Kyushu Empire, this is what he absolutely does not want to see.

Hearing the extremely oppressive words of Emperor Xue Ye, Leng Xiyue did not fluctuate in the slightest, and admitted it directly, and then asked: "Yes, I do not deny that I am advocating such a thing, but , the solution to this problem is simple, isn't it?"

Is it simple?

Very simple!
If you take the benefits of peasants, ordinary workers, and military households as civilians, not to mention the same high welfare benefits as the Kyushu Empire, even if you increase them to half, and guarantee a simple food, clothing, and housing, then who is willing to leave their hometowns and travel thousands of miles to another country? An unknown land?

But can it be done?
No!

Improving the treatment of farmers is easy to say, but who will do it?Royalty?How can the royal family support the expenses of the entire empire?

Can it be handed over to the local king or the local gentry or governor?How could they be willing to sell their interests to civilians?Rather than offering favors, it is better to organize a meeting and publicly kill dozens or hundreds of 'mobs', and these mobs will be honest.

In such a big environment, nobles suppressed cruelly, but killing one person would cause the whole family and clan to resist. The original obedient people would develop a heart of resistance after their brothers, wives and children were brutally suppressed. With the sale of firearms in the Kyushu Empire, Folk blacksmiths can also imitate a very crude smoothbore gun.

But as a gun that can shoot, it is not a small threat to the team of soul masters supported by local gentry. After all, it is usually armed by local nobles, that is, great soul masters and soul masters.

If there is no weapon, the nobles who have soul masters can naturally suppress it easily, which is why no one resisted before, but now that they can resist, he can often hear news about mobs gathering to rebel.

Seeing that Leng Xiyue did not deny this and did not give in, Emperor Xue Ye knew that it would be pointless for him to dwell on this issue.

Before him were three options.

First, bear the burden of humiliation, maintain friendship, and form an alliance as much as possible to fight against Wuhundian.

Second, expel the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce and diplomatic missions to prevent them from causing trouble, thereby restoring the order of the empire.

Third, let people take Leng Xiyue here directly, and then start the war.

If you choose the second option, then there is no doubt that this will completely offend the Kyushu Empire, and it will never be possible to reach a friendship again. Their infiltration activities will go underground, and they will become more unscrupulous and let a large amount of sophisticated weapons flow into the people, and they may even seize When Tiandou is relatively weak, find a reason to go to war directly.
