Su Si returned to Longyin city and handed Manda''s letter and appointment document to bessalu.
Bessalu was not very familiar with Craig munchke, but knew that he had a deep relationship with the Minister of state, so he took the letter to lesio.
After reading the letter, lesio, the Minister of state, smiled and sighed: "he has become a subordinate of sheltai? How is this possible?"
Besa was stunned, frowned and said, "he deceived us?"
The minister shrugged his eyebrows. "I guess he deceived everyone."
Bessalu clenched Manda''s letter and gritted his teeth and said, "in other words, this big government official is false, and the alliance is also false?"
Childe Susi turned pale with fear. He thought he had successfully completed the task, but now it looks bad.
He cleared his throat and said tremblingly, "father, I don''t think count munchke is such a person..."
"The grown-ups are talking!" bessalu glared at Sue. "You can''t interrupt this round!"
Su Si blushed. The government minister pressed down his palm and motioned bessalu not to worry: "the document is not false, and the alliance is not false. This should not be a bad thing for us."
Bessalu looked at the minister blankly: "I don''t understand what you mean."
"Sheltai should have been under munchke''s control, and munchke is willing to form an alliance with us."
Bessa opened her mouth and couldn''t speak for a long time: "kretsch munchke is just a count. How can he control a Archduke? And he''s still as strong as sheltai!"
The minister took three glasses, poured a glass of wine for bessalu and suss, and poured a glass for himself:
"Munchke is a very complicated person. I''m afraid I can''t tell for days and nights. But one thing is certain. Prince Susi has completed a very important task. With munchke''s promise, our alliance with Zhengnan has been more than half successful. The problem to be solved urgently is munchke''s prestige. His title is too low. He was once an enemy of sheltai According to Prince Susi''s description, he doesn''t have enough right to speak in front of the Archduke''s family. "
Bessalu tapped the glass and thought for a moment, "we can help him, but only if he really controls sheltai."
The Government Secretary sipped the wine: "this matter will be verified soon. First let munchke get the second letter, then let him take out more keepsakes, and then let the detailed work go to the southwest to inquire about the news, so as to determine the situation of sheltai. If my speculation is really confirmed, we have to find a reliable candidate to give munchke the necessary help in Miaoyin city."
……
According to Roma''s suggestion, Manda carefully investigated sheltai''s family members. Sheltai had two sons and four daughters. With the help of the business officer, Manda met all sheltai''s children and found an important problem.
In addition to the son, the other five children have perfectly inherited their parents'' genes. They are all about five feet tall. Only the son Yanis is six feet tall (one meter eight).
In addition to genetic mutations, the only reasonable explanation is that the child was not born to the Archduke.
Think about the tall and handsome Guard commander Tabian, and then recall their appearance and facial features. Manda had a bold idea.
Manda is definitely not the only one who has this idea. How to reach a consensus on this idea is the key.
The courteous business officer helped Manda get to know many family officials. Since Manda took out shertai''s sword last time, the ministers'' ideas have wavered. Although they dare not disobey the orders of his wife and son, if munchke is really a government official appointed by the Archduke, their previous actions are tantamount to provocation to the Archduke, They know how strict the Archduke''s family law is.
The courtiers who liked money and women took the lead in the fall. They began to report to Manda, just like the Archduke at the beginning, and said every detail in place, so that Manda could master the situation of Zhengnan in a short time.
Due south is rich in grain, but it is short of metal, iron and steel are very scarce, and precious metals used to forge coins are even more scarce.
They sold grain to the southeast in exchange for gold coins, because the merchants in the southeast had good reputation and could give higher prices.
Then he used gold coins to buy Minerals and slaves in the southwest. The poor southwest was squeezed by sheltai in price.
And sheltai has always refused to sell food to the southwest, which makes the barren land and the towns at the junction of the two places always struggle with food and clothing. Parrot city is a typical example. Without food savings, it naturally has no ability to start a war. It can''t blame Moritz salted fish. He has no capital to compete with other lords.
In this case, sheltai can regard the southwest as his own mine, lose a few change, and then squeeze it wantonly. He never has to worry that the southwest will resist.
But unfortunately, he met Manda. Manda not only resisted, but also prepared to return all the wealth squeezed by sheltai to the southwest.
He signed the first decree to allocate a large amount of grain from Miaoyin city to Qingshi city in exchange for ore.
The commercial officer is his own. The grain officer has been gathered by Mandala. As soon as the government order is issued, the grain fleet will set off immediately. Manda also specially ordered them to take more boats, because the wharf of parrot city was burned by the lion girl.
Parrot city received grain and began to transport ore to Qingyang City. The kilns in Qingyang City smoked again, and the refined steel was sent to parrot city.
Manda fulfilled her previous promise. During the delivery of ore, she gave a lot of kickbacks to count dillaro, the Lord of green smoke city. The more iron smelting, the faster money came. Dillaro was overjoyed. Then she had a big appetite and called people to build more than a dozen kilns.
Everything is going very well. The only obstruction comes from Mrs. Vanessa and her son Yanis.
The day after Manda issued the decree, Vanessa summoned him to the castle and asked him to explain things clearly.
"Rebellion, this man is crazy. He dares to break the rules of the Archduke!"
Vanessa roared in the castle all day, but Manda didn''t come. Manda could use cold treatment.
The son sent someone to summon Manda, but Manda still ignored.
Madam couldn''t bear it. She sent guards to arrest Manda. Lioness and Roma beat the guards and sent them back.
Manda is not afraid of friction. Instead, he wants to see where the bottom line of his wife and son is and under what conditions they will turn over completely.
Unfortunately, Manda didn''t see them turn over. They changed their direction.
Instead of interfering with Manda''s decree, they offered to see Archduke shertai.
Manda promised very simply: "no problem. Who are you going to send? I think it''s better for madam to go in person."
If madam goes, she will be reunited with sheltai in the Seven Star Mountain, so that Manda will save a lot of trouble.
But the lady refused to go. She wanted to send her son.
It''s better for the son to go. Let him live with his father for a few years and be filial.
But Shizi didn''t want to go either. He was neither adventurous nor hard-working.
Looking at the faces of the mother and son pushing each other away, Manda really felt that they were disgusting. Finally, after some discussion, they decided to send sheltai''s child zijinfu to the southwest to visit his father.
Jinfu had just turned twelve. He could see that he didn''t want to go very much, but he had no choice in the face of the orders of his mother and brother.
Manda asked Toka and Brayton to escort Jinfu to the seven star mountain. Brayton was a little worried about Manda.
"If I leave, who will ensure your safety?"
"Don''t worry, I think I''m very safe now," Manda didn''t forget his promise. "When this task is completed, I''ll introduce you to the God. I don''t have to use your skills. I''ll never break my promise."
