Become the city lord from today

The sky is getting darker and the temperature has dropped significantly, inside the Golden Spike City, the royal capital of the Flanders Empire.

King Sandra was in the palace hall, looking haggard and staring at the door without saying a word.

He has been like this since he learned that Prince Eddie was caught. After dealing with some management matters, he would sit still and even lost his appetite for his favorite red fish.

His figure, which was originally quite big, has now lost a lot of weight visible to the naked eye, and the dark circles under his eyes are extremely heavy. Every time I don't sleep well at night, I always dream that someone is coming to kill me.

For this reason, he arranged many knights at the door and inside of the room, and even ordered a group of knights to guard the bed.

King Shandra was a little anxious and asked,"Where are the Woods people? Why haven't they come yet?""

"Your Majesty, you have just summoned the Duke, you may need to wait a little longer."The attendant said tremblingly.

"Then tell him to come quickly."King Sandra scolded

"yes......Yes, Your Majesty."The attendant staggered after taking two steps, then got up and walked out of the palace hall.

He also made a wise decision. If he urged the other party, he would not be able to come so quickly, and he would probably leave the ground. , it was better to stay far away at this time.

An hour later, Duke Woods arrived belatedly. As soon as he entered the palace hall, he saluted and said,"Your Majesty, I say hello to you.""

"I might be better off if you arrived earlier. King Sandra said with a gloomy face.

Duke Woods stood up and changed the subject,"Your Majesty, why are you so anxious to call me here?""

"Nonsense, otherwise why would I be looking for you?

King Sandra obviously lost his patience and asked,"How is Eddie's situation?" Duke

Woods rolled his eyes and said,"The Han Dynasty has received the news that we are willing to pay the ransom and the slaves, so His Highness the Prince is fine now and has been treated well. He is just waiting for our ransom and slaves to be delivered." He would be put back intact."

Of course, all this news was told to the Duke by Ruila. Now in order to get the goods of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible, he has completely switched sides to Liu Feng.

King Sandra's serious face improved slightly. , asked,"Are you ready for the three hundred thousand gold coins?"

"It's ready, but once the three hundred thousand gold coins are withdrawn, it may be a little difficult for the Flanders Empire." said Duke of Woods

"It doesn't matter, if the gold coins are gone, you can get them again, but if Eddie is gone, they are gone."King Sandra said.

Duke Woods nodded and said,"Next, you are right. Five thousand slaves have also been drawn out, but many nobles have been complaining."

"What did they say?"King Sandra asked

"Without the slaves, there would be no one to help them, and there would be no way to sell the slaves, so naturally the problem came."The Duke of Woods reported.

King Sandra dismissed it and said,"It's a mercy of mine that I didn't let them hand over the gold coins. I'll arrest all those talkative ones, including the ones who talk the most. Hang them all."

Duke Woods quickly shook his head and comforted,"Your Majesty, don't hang them at this time, otherwise more things will happen.

King Sandra frowned and asked,"What?" As a king, don’t I have the right to hang a few people?"

"Of course, your Majesty, but in this extraordinary period, we still need to be more cautious. Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Royal Highness the Prince are not in Jinsui City, but are in the Han Dynasty. We cannot mess around." Duke of Woods suggested

"What's the meaning?"King Sandra asked in confusion.

Duke Woods straightened his collar and said,"Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty wants to build a port in our Flanders Empire.

King Sandra sat up straight and said in surprise,"What did you say?" Build a port? Where to build?"

"Golden Spike City. Duke Woods said.

King Sandra looked as if he had heard wrongly and repeated,"Golden Spike City?" Duke

Woods nodded and said,"Yes, Your Majesty, it is Golden Spike City, and this port is exclusive to the Han Dynasty.""

King Shandra leaned back on his chair and said in a deep voice,"Why do they want to open a dedicated port in Golden Spike City?"

"They want to transport the goods of the Han Dynasty to our Flanders Empire as soon as possible, but our port is too small and there are knights stationed there, which is very inconvenient for them." Duke of Woods explained

"No, I won't agree."King Sandra immediately thought of safety issues.

Duke Woods had already guessed the king's reaction and said,"Your Majesty, people in the entire Golden Spike City are making trouble now, not just nobles and businessmen, Even civilians are starting to make trouble"

"What are they making a fuss about?"King Shandra stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brow.

"They are all asking for the opening of an exclusive port. They all agree with the Han Dynasty's approach, and they are all trying to get you to agree."Duke Woods said.

King Sandra said with a gloomy face,"They are challenging the anger of the royal family. Duke Woods blinked his eyes and said,"Your Majesty, we can't deal with them, otherwise it will cause a riot. Besides, His Royal Highness the Prince is still in the hands of the Han Dynasty, so we are basically in a passive state.""

King Sandra's face became even more gloomy, and he said,"Are we going to surrender again?"

"Your Majesty, actually opening a dedicated port is not necessarily a bad thing."Duke Woods comforted

"How to say?"King Sandra's face softened a little.

Duke Woods pointed to a decorative porcelain next to the hall and said,"Your Majesty, as long as we have this port, our Flanders Empire can become better and better, and you can see it everywhere. Goods from the Han Dynasty......"

The Duke spent more than ten minutes explaining to the king the benefits of the Han Dynasty opening a port in Jinsui City, as well as a series of future developments.

King Sandra blinked his eyes and said in a deep voice,"You go down first, I'll think about it for a moment.""

"Yes, Your Majesty."Duke Woods nodded and said
