419 Twenty Years of Blood Earning
419 Twenty Years of Red Earning
Compared to a few months ago, the eldest prince has less perverseness and more calm changes in roles and identity, which will naturally bring about a change in temperament.
When he saw Beta, he smiled condescendingly, and the king's arrogance burst out: "Long time no see, Lord Beta, I heard that you did a good job in Tonggu City."
"It's indeed a long time no see, the eldest prince." Beta walked slowly before and smiled, "You are getting more and more energetic."
"Hahaha." The eldest prince laughed heartily: "Now everyone calls me Your Majesty, and only you are still calling me the eldest prince. It's quite interesting. Lord Beta, there is something, can you satisfy my kindness?"
Beta was a little strange: "Big Prince, as the future king, you should know everything. I have nothing to fill your unfathomable valley of kindness."
"It's not difficult to have a big deal." The eldest prince's face teased a little: "I just want to know where you and the younger sister have gone? If it's time to get to the point where you can marry indifferently, I can serve as the host of the wedding ceremony for you."
As the master of marriage, this is a very respectful thing. For some people who highly value royal power, the word "glory" can even be used as annotation. Beta understands that this is the show of goodwill of the eldest prince. As the saying goes, politeness must be given to others, which is exactly the same as Beta's guess before coming.
Beta smiled and said, "Your prince, you seem to have something to do. Just say, I'm not good at talking around the bush."
"It's still so direct." The eldest prince waved his hand disregardly: "I'm not kidding about my little sister's affairs, but now the matter is important. I did encounter some trouble. Not long ago, I sent a group of messengers to the Frost Star Kingdom and disappeared. Now my coronation ceremony is coming. If the news cannot be reached, and if the Frost Star Kingdom does not send envoys to congratulate us, this will make us Holewen very embarrassed."
The Frost Star Kingdom is the ally of Holevin. If the crowning ceremony of the great prince does not even have an envoy to come, it is indeed unreasonable.
Beta thought for a while and said, "To go to Frost Star Kingdom, you must pass by Udabri... The envoys disappeared in Udabri."
"It's true." The eldest prince nodded: "Under normal circumstances, no hostile country can attack the envoys. This is the rule set by all races. But this time, Udabri not only took action, but also did it without realizing it... When the envoys were about to enter Udabri, the envoys disappeared without a trace. Because the envoys disappeared within our territory, we didn't even have a reason to question them."
"The pass in the northern part of Tonggu Town has been resisting Udabri's attack for more than 300 years, and it is also a must-pass place for us to go to Udabri. Did the envoy disappear near the pass in the northern part of Tonggu Town?" Beta asked in confusion.
The eldest prince nodded: "It should be around that. Since Greenton went to the Elf Forest, Udabri in the north has been a little ready to move."
"Then you don't have to worry." Beta smiled and said, "Glinton's daughter Alice can take over his father's military responsibilities. Although her personal abilities and strength are not as good as Glinton, if used in military wars, Glinton is even more threatening."
The eldest prince said with some admiration: "I know this. The Elf Summoner, the bloodline of the Greenton family is really good. I really want him to give some to our royal family."
Alice is not only a half-elf, but also a powerful professional. Now she is a master-level strongman at a young age... After the news came out, almost all the noble families were quite interested in her.
Of course, in Holeven, the girl who loves the most popular among young men is still Emma.
"Although Alice is powerful, her current deterrence is indeed not Glinton. After all, she has no real record." Beta said thoughtfully: "The missing of the envoy in the north of Tonggu Town may be a test of Udabri's temptation to Tonggu Town. The news of Greenton's trip to the Elf Forest cannot be concealed, so they really want to know how much color Greenton's successor, Alice, is. The disappearance of the envoy can also be at a certain level, and the relationship between Frost Star Kingdom and our Holewen can kill two birds with one stone."
"Your Excellency is indeed very smart, and these things are understandable at all." The eldest prince said in admiration: "Even if you have a political sense and strong young nobleman, you are the only one in Holevin."
Beta waved his hand: "Big Prince, stop praising me, so you asked me to come this time because I wanted me to help you find out where the envoy was missing?"
The eldest prince nodded slightly: "This is just one of them. In addition, I hope you can serve as the leader of the new round of envoys and help me send the Frost Star Cluster. You must help me deliver the official diplomatic letter to King Frost Star within a month."
Beta thought for a while: "I can be the head of the envoy, but what can I get."
"Isn't it too cheesy to do things for the kingdom?" the eldest prince said righteously.
Beta smiled and said, "I am not your retainer."
Feudal kingdoms have a characteristic. In essence, the lord is also one of the masters of the kingdom. The king is a lord, or the person who leads the lord. In essence, it is also a lord, but the title is different.
The king and the lord are subordinate relationships, not servant relationships. Usually, the lord pays taxes to the royal family, obeys the royal family's orders, participate in wars, internal affairs and other actions, but if the lord thinks that some of the king's orders are unreasonable, it can be rejected.
The eldest prince sighed slightly and said without any sign: "Okay, what reward do you need? Money, power, or Emma?"
"I want the tax exemption rights of the wetlands for fifty years." Beta said lightly.
"This is impossible!" The eldest prince's voice suddenly increased: "Paying taxes is the responsibility of every lord and cannot be changed."
Beta said in a gentle tone: "But the wetlands are now poor and have no people, and you can't even collect taxes. It will take me at least fifty years to build the wetlands into qualified cities."
"The law of the kingdom requires each lord to pay a basic tax of 200 gold coins every year. The commercial tax and agricultural tax must be paid according to the number of heads in the territory." The eldest prince snorted: "This is not a small amount. If you want to exempt the tax for fifty years in one sentence, are you too beautiful to think?"
Beta thought for a while: "That forty years."
"Ten years!" The eldest prince patted the handrail of the throne: "No more."
Beta thought for a while and said, "Thirty years, it will no longer be missing. The development of the territory will take time. I think you should understand it very well, the eldest prince."
The eldest prince closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said with a gloomy face: "Twenty years, no more. If you don't agree, I'll change to someone else to do this, such as Emma."
Beta sighed pretendingly: "Okay, twenty or twenty years, twenty years, nothing can be done in twenty years, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. If you can, you can save as much as possible, I agree."
The eldest prince looked at Beta's fatal expression and suddenly felt that he seemed to have lost money in this business?
