Devil's Law Pit Filling Project

Chapter 36 Achieved

The moment he opened the agreement, Hamuye regretted it.

The clauses here... obviously violated the land of the grassland, but... it's really unbearable to refuse!At that time, I really should have insisted on my own opinion and tore it up without even looking at it!Hamuye was very tangled at this time.

The terms are very clear. First of all, neither side is allowed to station troops here!But they can provide protection for their respective caravans fifty miles away from this trade zone.

Originally, Hanmuye was not even willing to agree to this, but looking at the location of this trade zone... it happened to be fifty miles deep into the grassland from the empire's territory.This means that the two sides are actually hundreds of miles apart, but the Rolands are still stationed on their own land.This made Han Moye slightly relieved.Anyway, even if there is no such trade zone, the empire will have nothing to do with setting up fortresses on its own borders.

Secondly, in the trade zone, the empire wanted to set up a so-called "Empire and Grassland Commerce and Trade Agreement Deliberation Department". This department with a long and weird name was also thought up by Du Wei.Specialized in handling various trade disputes.But Du Wei explained this thing so mysteriously that Han Muye agreed in a daze.

Then, there is a communication measure about the garrisons of both sides.With a distance of hundreds of miles, in case of any conflicts, the two parties must have a convenient contact method to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

This is just an incidental form. Under normal circumstances, the armies of both sides will have such a mechanism, so they readily agreed.

After reading this, the prairie man is finally relieved. It seems that the Roland Empire has used a lot of means to reassure us!

He raised his head and looked at Du Wei, who was facing the old god, and finally squeezed out a sincere smile on his face: "Then, Duke Tulip, our agreement is considered to be reached?"

As he said that, he stood up and tried to hug Du Wei in vain - this is a kind of etiquette for reconciliation between the two sides on the grassland.

But Du Wei quickly raised his hand and waved his hands again and again: "Hey, wait a minute, I haven't finished yet. This is just an agreement established to ensure the safety of the empire and your grassland caravan, and I haven't finished reading the rest , don't get too excited, my friend, let's continue to look down?" Du Wei smiled and made a gesture of please sit down.

Han Muye secretly cursed, this is basically set up to protect you Roland!We prairie people don't need to worry about this!But even though I thought so in my heart, I still did enough superficial skills: "It's easy to say, easy to say, my lord, where did we just talk?"

Although Du Wei asked Han Muye to sit down, he jumped lightly, sat on the negotiation table with his buttocks, and raised his legs, making Lan Lan and Deka behind him look a little weird, because they knew that when Du Wei When Wei started to cross his legs and laugh and laugh, he might have started to be shady!And although Han Muye also felt that it seemed inappropriate for the other party to do so, but his deputy didn't say anything, why did he care so much?Hurry up and sign this document is the most important thing!What's more, I really saw the Tulip Duke too well back then!I'm afraid I won't be surprised or unacceptable no matter what this guy does!

Du Wei casually continued the topic just now: "We just finished talking about the luxury goods transaction. Then, there is the setting of tariffs. Although I can decide to sign such a clause with you, I will negotiate with you at the official price of the empire. Trade, but the Queen's side...I'm not good at dealing with business. She asked for a tariff increase, which is to increase taxes in our garrison land. You should have no objections?" Hanmuye thought for a while, this The Duke of Tulip has indeed gone too far. It seems understandable for the royal family to ask for a bigger cake, and things like tariffs are nothing more than a little bit more expensive to buy. Is it better than the black goods before?Moreover, the [-]% discount for luxury goods is not free, maybe after the tax is added, the price will still be lower than the official price!So he agreed to this condition.

But in fact, all items that indicate the official price of the empire have actually been taxed!Du Wei's extra deceitful tariffs, in the final analysis, want to solve the military expenses of the garrison!

The empire has long wanted to garrison troops on the border!But why hasn't it been done this way?

money!Money is not enough!Manpower, material resources, these are all constraints!Where does fresh water come from?Where do military supplies come from?This is not to say that it can be resolved overnight.Don't forget that the [-] imperial heavy cavalry stationed at that mountain pass back then was obviously a division, but it was maintained with the military expenses of another legion!In the end, it was eaten by Du Wei before it was removed.

Even so, these are all resolved.It's easy to say that Du Wei is the biggest local tyrant in the empire, and he forcibly spent money in it to solve everything perfectly.Can the prairie people watch the empire build a garrison at their door?If this stronghold is really built, it will really be built in front of someone's house!Because the trade zone was fifty miles deep into the grassland, the empire had to garrison troops here as a matter of course, and it was justifiable. Even the grassland people had to think about how to speed up the construction process for the sake of their own trade.Because this garrison point is not built for a day, the trade system will not start according to the agreement.The tariff is the source of income to support this stronghold, and it is completely borne by the prairie people (in case someone misunderstands, please explain, for example, if the empire increases taxes, merchants pay taxes, and prices rise, then the prairie people must suffer this loss, because The supply exceeds the demand, no matter what the imperial merchants sell, the prairie people will buy it), so why not do it?

Hanmuye has actually let go of his hostility towards the empire at this time, and now he is thinking more about how to go back to appease the tribal leaders who have a deep hatred for the empire, and the transfer of hatred - that bearded man doesn't know what to do after going back. What will happen.

For such a friendly empire, even though Hanmoye was on guard, he naturally relaxed his vigilance when it came to things that would do more good than harm no matter how you looked at it.

Du Wei pointed and asked Lanlan to record all the small details, and then let the grassland envoy go over them one by one, nodded to confirm that they were correct, and continued: "Okay, we have already taken care of the big things. , so now, let's talk about cultural exchange..."

Soon, the negotiation ended with a happy ending.Whether it's Hanmoye or Duwei - they are very happy.

In theory, Du Wei is not qualified to sign.This is a formal decree between the empire and neighboring countries, and it should be signed by the emperor of the empire.

Finally, the prairie man finally met Her Majesty, the first empress of the great Roland Empire.

This is Her Majesty the Queen known as the Bloody Thorn Flower?The whole empire is crawling under the skirt of such a woman who is not as old as her own daughter!Although Han Muye was shocked by Karina's icy temperament, he really didn't have much awe.He glossed it over well, with enough politeness to express it.However, I firmly believe in the idea that the Roland Empire is declining day by day-no wonder he changed his previous tough style and began to beg us prairie people!Just a woman, can she be more courageous than a man?After the two parties signed the agreement, there was naturally a grand dinner—all the nobles were present to express the sincerity of the empire.This moved Hanmoye very much, and once again defeated the little vigilance left in his heart.

As for the dinner, all parties have heard about the empire's decision for a long time.To the Queen's satisfaction, this time the military department did not speak out, and even kept silent on this matter as a whole-it seems that Camisiro has done a good job and fully understood what he meant, even after a few years. Only then will he find an opportunity to award him the title of hereditary earl, which can be done some time in advance.Karina still understands the importance of carrots.

Except for the people in the military department who remained silent, all the dignitaries expressed full goodwill to the envoy from the grassland who came to the imperial capital with friendship-they had already been persuaded by Du Wei and promised to send him to the imperial capital as soon as possible. His family's business developed to the grassland.

Although limited by this clause, the profit of selling things on the grassland in the future will not be that big, but firstly, it is to sell Du Wei to save face, and secondly, safety can finally be guaranteed. In disguise, it is equivalent to an extra province of business. Do it, better than nothing.

All the big and powerful families in the empire gathered around the envoy to toast, and from time to time they would check the situation on the grassland to see if there were any business opportunities.

But when the dinner was about to end, Camisiro finally couldn't help finding Du Wei in private and asked what the empire meant by doing so.Because no matter who looked at it, they felt that the empire could hardly take advantage of it, and it was likely to feed the prairie wolf.Although the military department is very silent on the surface, in private, many bigwigs have complained to Camisiro that the empire has no backbone and signed such an alliance with the prairie people.Most of them were suppressed by Camisiro, but it was always like this, and a reasonable explanation was always needed.

Du Wei only said a few words: "First of all, I am the Duke Tulip of this empire, the Minister of Etiquette. With our relationship, I am not afraid of your jokes. I will be the prime minister of this empire in a short time. And My territory, Desa Province, is far away from the prairie people, and this stronghold is built in front of my house. If the prairie people really grow up, my territory will bear the brunt! Secondly, you don’t know the nature of me, Du Wei, I dare By doing this, you can convince His Majesty that you naturally have your own plans. The empire will definitely not suffer from this transaction. And for your military department, this is not a bad thing. After the stronghold is established, it is clear that it is A garrison point, a public security office, but we can develop it into a fortress in private, and the prairie people will help us raise it, and it must be a cake of your military department, I will not interfere."

Although Camisiro still couldn't figure out how the empire could earn money from this, but as a general born in the army, he was not sure about these financial matters, so he suppressed his doubts and barely acquiesced.

After expressing enough friendliness, Du Wei even invited this Hanmoye to stay in the imperial capital for a few days to appreciate the recent grand event of the empire—the Second World's No. [-] Martial Arts Tournament.And Han Muye was worried that he could not find a chance to communicate with Du Wei in private, so he readily agreed to the invitation.
