What kind of country is the Kingdom of Saxony in the eyes of the top giants in the free city?

If you look at Yalin’s thinking, there are quite a few like the Middle Eastern oil-producing countries in the original world, poverty and war, but there are countless treasures buried under the earth.However, it is a bit more tragic than the kingdoms of Saxony, the big oil-producing countries in the original world. At least the oil-producing countries in the original world of Yalin will lose the dignity and diplomacy of some countries as long as they are willing to listen to the dispatch of the big countries. Life is going very well.Of course, there are also a few stingers who are writing as police and reading as gangsters. The interference of a certain lighthouse power will continue to explode every day!

However, the Kingdom of Saxony failed to live the life of these local tyrants and oil-producing countries, because it was restricted by the Ogman not only without technology, but also severely lacking manpower. Even the first-level artificial mining could not be formed, resulting in the entire country. It has been trapped in a vicious circle, and even the kings of the past dynasties have not shown any improvement in their efforts in national strength.

At least in Lawrence’s eyes, this country in the extreme north is too weak. If it weren’t for the sake of blocking the Ogman, the wealth that this country possessed would have long since become the big three of the free cities. I have Chinese food, and what I have to do now is to cut the largest piece of cake and become my own.

However, ideals are always full, and reality is always the backbone. After this meeting, Lawrence took the Saxon kingdom a closed door┉┉

In the large conference room in the palace, the main members of the Saxon royal family, including the king, are gathered here to conduct a cooperation negotiation with the chairman of the most powerful chamber of commerce in the free city that will determine the future of the country. In order to keep the entire conference room secret Completely isolated by the barrier, no one other than the participants can detect any news from here.

"I don't understand what you mean, Your Majesty, do you think that the free city and other countries provide less material support for your country every year?" Lawrence asked with a pair of gold silk glasses facing the king in surprise.

"Mr. Lawrence, you got me wrong. After our country reached a transportation agreement with the Belrama Kingdom. Material reserves are no longer as tight as before. Now what our country needs is to rejuvenate the national economy and restore national strength as soon as possible."

Old King Rodland sat at the top of the long conference table and said with tepid expression, but Lawrence frowned constantly thinking about what His Majesty the King meant.Just now Lawrence has more than once tentatively proposed to obtain the mining rights of the Kingdom of Saxony, but the old king played a procrastination card for Lawrence, turning a deaf ear to Lawrence’s hints, and even proposed to Lawrence to increase support for the Kingdom of Saxony. The opening of more advanced weapons seems to have no interest in the export of the Kingdom of Saxony.

Lawrence did not think that the old man in front of him did not understand what he meant.Obviously, the other party does not want to sell the mining rights, and he is not even interested in knowing his asking price.This is really weird. Are these savages living in the snow going to hungry on a golden mountain and continue to starve?

The old king cleared his throat and watched Lawrence's face change several times. Soon the king said solemnly: "Did you know? Mr. Lawrence! Sometimes as a king I can't just look at the benefits in front of me, I have to let go A far-sighted vision leaves enough resources for survival for the descendants of our Saxons. We need'fish' but more need'fishing'! Incompetent support will also be exhausted, not just because we are satisfied, we ignore our children and grandchildren. Descendants, so ┉┉Mr. Lawrence, I can’t promise~you~a~piece~!"

Lawrence's eyes became sharp in an instant, and the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in the free city had already heard the meaning of the king's words. ┉┉

┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉

The residence where the mission stayed.Lawrence, who had fallen into a stalemate in today’s negotiations, sat and rested with a bad look. The maid standing in the room under the strange breath was even more dare not to show up. Everyone was trying to shrink his body and tried to avoid being caught by Lawrence. see.Obviously the maids are very clear that Mr. Lawrence today is in a very bad mood!

It took a moment for Lawrence to tell the female assistant Kaiman Susana on the side: "Let me check, which chambers of commerce and countries have recently had large-scale transactions with the Kingdom of Saxony!"

"I understand sir. Do you think that the Saxon kingdom has another candidate for ore mining?"

"I can be sure!" Lawrence nodded and called a maid to pour herself a glass of wine: "Someone must have won the mining rights of the Kingdom of Saxony before us. I need to know who did it!"

The middle-aged mage standing behind Lawrence thought for a while. Although the mage is not a businessman, he still knows some things in the business circle: "The Blackstone Circle Chamber of Commerce! Clotheid recently bought a lot of slaves to the Kingdom of Saxony. It may be that he has reached a cooperation agreement with the Kingdom of Saxony."

"I know!"

Lawrence nodded and drank the wine in his glass.Now besides the Circle of Blackstone, Lawrence did not expect that any outsider would openly oppose him, but there is one more thing that needs to be made clear to Lawrence.

"In addition to the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce. There are other chambers of commerce or organizations conducting large-scale transactions with the Kingdom of Saxony!"

food!The Kingdom of Saxony is located in the extreme north and the lack of food has always plagued this country. Although the Kingdom of Saxony receives food from neighboring Berrama every year, it can only meet part of its demand. The remaining food gap requires material assistance or material assistance from mainland countries every year. Purchase from Free City.Grain has also become a heavyweight bargaining chip for businessmen in the free city when negotiating a deal with the Kingdom of Saxony, but this year there has been an exception.The reason is that the unending snowstorm has saved the Kingdom of Saxony from two wars, and the recent large-scale acquisition of slaves has also caused the country's population to soar recently!

The population increased but the amount of food purchased by the Kingdom of Saxony in the free cities did not increase. Obviously, the Kingdom of Saxony found a new way of supplying food.And every channel that Lawrence could think of that might supply food to Saxony would not be possible if we thought about it carefully.Since he has been eager to obtain the mining rights of the Kingdom of Saxony worth nearly one trillion lien, Lawrence has been using grain as a bargaining chip to gradually pressure the Kingdom of Saxony, and at the same time strictly monitor the amount of grain inflow into this country. Avoid bad plans.Although the Kingdom of Saxony imports part of its grain from Berrama every year, the total grain output of the Kingdom of Berrama cannot afford the needs of the entire Kingdom of Saxony, and several large merchants in the free city who are able to supply grain cannot privately. Supply additional food to the Kingdom of Saxony.In this way, there is not much benefit and it will offend myself as the chairman of the chamber of commerce.

It is true that Closseide used the small chambers and shell chambers of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce to purchase a large number of slaves, but there was no large-scale purchase of food.The Holy Capital and the Holy See are also targets of major suspicion, especially the Western Continent under the Holy Capital. Recently, countries in the Western Continent have been preparing for the construction of new commercial cities and have made it clear that they will oppose the free city. Now they are wooing the Kingdom of Saxony as a bridgehead into the east It is also possible.It's just that the cost of transporting food from the west of the mainland is too high, and ground transportation also bears huge risks. Lawrence doesn't think that the Sanctuary and the countries of the western continent can be generous to this degree!

Holy See!Lawrence thought for a long time but finally denied it. The Holy See wanted to expand its faith in the Kingdom of Saxony to squeeze out the Holy Capital. The recent transport cooperation agreement with Saxony and Berrama was also completed with the assistance of the Holy See.But if it is said that the Holy See wants to use grain to win over the Kingdom of Saxony, and the purchase of grain, as long as the Holy See shows its own sign, let alone other merchants, Lawrence himself has to weigh the gains and losses of this behemoth.However, although it is impossible to prevent the Holy See from purchasing food, at least it should be able to obtain information on the large-scale purchase of food by the Holy See. The problem is that Lawrence has not received any relevant information at all!

Moreover, food is not used for other commodities. Both humans and elves need food as long as they are living creatures. The amount of food has always been regarded as a measure of whether the situation on the continent is stable.Lawrence pays special attention to the fluctuations in food prices caused by the quality of the harvest every year. This year's market prices have not changed significantly.

"I really can't figure out who else can supply food to the Royal Palace of Saxony on a large scale in such a secret. You have to know that supplying a city and supplying a whole country are two concepts. This is by no means a small country or a small businessman. It's done." Lawrence held his forehead and thought for a long time, but found any valuable clues on his brow, and all the channels he could think of were denied.

"Mr. Lawrence, maybe we can investigate the transportation situation in recent years. The transportation team of the Chamber of Commerce should be able to find some clues for the transportation of so much grain."

Kayman Susanna made a suggestion. Lawrence nodded and agreed. His chamber of commerce mainly monopolizes the transportation industry in the eastern continent. The transportation of so much food will leave some clues in the intertwined network of relationships. .But the speed must be fast, and you must dare to deal with the opponent before the Saxony kingdom solves the food problem, otherwise you will lose a huge bargaining chip to put pressure on Saxony. Ten years of efforts may be in vain. This is by no means Lawrence willing to see. To the ending.

What if the origin of the problem cannot be found?

A gleam of haze flashed in Lawrence’s eyes. I am afraid it’s too late to support the opposition. The Kingdom of Saxony has been fighting with the Ogmans all the year round. Under the threat of war and survival, this country has maintained a high degree of unity, whether it is aristocracy or civilians. It is the ministers in the royal palace who are extremely loyal to the royal family, and it is impossible to support the opposition in less than ten years!

If it was another way, even Lawrence, the chairman of the Free Urban Chamber of Commerce, couldn't think of a better way.(To be continued...)
