Chapter 294 (2/2)

Hmm, yes, let's do exactly that

With the business end done and over with, Du Wei can sigh a breath of reliefIn their following conversations, Du Wei brought up soossip news of the Northwest's uniqueness and of how he played the arassland

Before they knew it, the two had conversed till sun fallJust as Du Wei was ready to take his leave, Prince Son suddenly exhaled a long sigh

Froloo this, Du Wei's heart moved…

To tell the truth, this ti that Son has changed a lot, especially his speech and toneCompared to back then, there seems to be a lot of worry mixed into his wordsWhen Du Wei first beca ent, calm, and extremely calculativeA first rate character in Du Wei's opinion! But noo years have passedMeeting once again, Du Wei found the relaxed and easy going person froedHow should he put it, ineThe Prince Son fro up with hisat him now, that sue in there

Seeing Du Wei was about to leave, Prince Son suddenly sighed and whispered: “Du Wei … It's been so long since someone can accompany me and talk about all this with ht as well stay longer and not rush back to the NorthwestThere's not going to be anything o back”

“…… Oh?” Du Wei became stunned

Prince Son e: “There's going to be a show if you stayHmm… Very few people knows about thisto make a lively show for everyone to see!”

“Lively show?”

A flicker of sharpness ca in a very relaxed ing at you all this time but never asked me… Aren't you curious as to why on that celebratory day the Tehts to aid hter is the Temple's holy maidenBased on their relationshi+p alone, the Temple should've sided with my older brother, yet they took , his face utterly calent

Now this was the Son that he knew, the Prince Son who had secret cards up his sleeve one after another and sent the crown prince to his death

He s! For centuries, the Teain, but they never could acco!”

“…… What?” In the end, Du Wei eventually couldn't resist exclai

Without emotion, Prince Son's eye became utterly determined!

“I promised the pope that I would openly accept his baptis a Godchild's identity, I will give hiift and the cere”

Upon hearing this, though Du Wei doesn't hold uy, he still can't help but voice his opinion: “Your highness, this cannot happen!”

Du Wei looks aghast, shocked by the absurdity of the proone mad to ious authority has been fighting for nearly a thousand years! And never once has the Te but try to do he will bon to the Temple?

Even to this day, the rivalry between both sides has never truly placed a winner

But…… Who's Prince Son?

He's now the Regent! Although Augustine the 6th was nominally still the emperor, but everybody knows that the true ruler of this land now lies on this princeIn the future, Son has to take the throne and beconize the Pope as his Godfather?

Don't joke around! The E the Pope as his Godfather? Never once since the founding of the e so outlandish happen!!!

Du Wei's complexion went into turmoil and took on multiple shades of whitePrince Son wasn't a fool so how can he not understand thebehind his move, but why?

He quietly looks at Du Wei: “Do you want to say, I am the future e down to the te the Temple's influence is above the authority of the iht?”

Du Wei's face turned series and dignified: “Yes … That's exactly what I want to sayHowever I like to hear your side first because I know your highness isn't sohted! You're not the type of person to compromise very foundation of the royal family just so you can co, he looks at Du Wei with some warmth: “

“Du Wei, only you know me this wellIf I was to let Biliaibuer and the others know, they would no doubt cause an uproarI've made the preparations and have stabilized the situation with enough power introuble when I make the announcelad I didn't ht about youYou are very smart”

Chapter 294 “The Secret of the coup day” (Part two)Not waiting for hi more, Du Wei went ahead: “Once upon a time there was a man and he had a lot of chickens in his hosThe e forperiod of continuous harvest, the chicken stopped laying eggs altogetherIt's not due to any special reason, it's because the hen saw that her eggs were being taken away so casually despite her efforts, leaving it with nothing in the endThis alone wouldn't be anythingor two per day less for the master, but there were other hens in the ho to lay their own eggs, but seeing what awaited them, none did so out of fearWhy? They didn't want to lose their eggs after spending sowould come in the future, those hens would secretly stash it away, never willing to pass it onto their hness, help me do the math for the chicken masterIn order to reap the ss from all the other chickensWhat would be his loss? Just think about itIf that le egg, or just half will do, then he wouldn't have fallen into that dreaded situation! In order to earn a quick buck, he incurred e than he could ever recoup!” Prince Son was a clever person so he ioodAfter beating around the bush, you are indrectly scoldingtoo hard now aren't you?” Du Wei shakes his head: “Scold you? Of course not, I wouldn't dare! But your Highness, to tell you the truth, if you ive it to youBut these things are after all inventions I created through ive it away so casually, my heart is bound to feel unconvinced…These areto say thisYou have treated ift here and there is not an issueHowever, what about later in the future? I' to produce only this one egg now as? Are you just going to ask ain? To tell you the truth, even if we have a good relationshi+p, do you expectcontinuously robbed ofhis brow, Prince Son ponders for a : “You are correctEven if it was me, I most certainly wouldn't be happy about it” “And!” Du Wei slowly spoke: “There are soof talented people! When the ic acade philosophyAt first you had your doubts, but its proven later that es out there have their own exquisite researches, they just didn't take it out to shareSo, other than ent people out there who can cos with tireatly beneficial to the country! But if everyone knows that I, Du Wei, was immediately robbed of my invention by the royal family upon reveal… with that example at the forefront, do you think other hens out there would be willing to lay their own eggs? Even if they did lay an egg, they would stash it away and never see the light of day!” This logic was nothing more than a revised version of the “Golden Goose” storyIf this explanation was said to an overbearing ic would fall on deafs earBut Du Wei understands Prince Son was an intelligent person, so this reasoning should ierOf course, it's not difficult for Du Wei to play a little trick to slide by on this occasion regarding the balloon fuel, but what about the future? When this Regent finds out about the gunpowder and other technical things he didn't show yet, hoas Du Wei going to deceive hiain? Small little tricks can only be used once or twice, any more than that and the effects won't showIn that case, why don't I end it all for once by using soical persuasion? Moreover, Du Wei does have some confidence in this Prince SonHe's not a fatuous h Prince Son was a little unhappy inside, but after careful consideration, he knew it's the s is correctUmm, in this case, youit, how should we proceed with this business?” “Very sioods like the hot air balloon to the -term supplier for the armyHowever… I won't sell the techniques involved in the oods”As he said that, Du Wei pondered for a ive the military about twenty percent less than the uarantee the reliability and quality of the balloon airshi+ps produced by the Tulip House! But in return, I des: the first is not to default onterned directly by your highness the Regent of the empireBusiness is business, clear and preciseIf we ever encounter any small disputes, we can rely on the basis of the word” Noticing Prince Son's face turning glooain, Du Wei hurriedly added another sentence: “We can openly preach about our deal to the public and make this a precedentOnce others know about this, there's bound to beto cos!” (I don't knohy, but this part gave uy taste her) Only with the last sentence did Prince Son look so over the entire proposal, he finally laughs: “Du Wei! You are so clever! Fine, I'm convinced! We shall do as you sayIt's just that since the deal involves the imperial armament, are you sure you can provide thatyou need to worry aboutI'm also prepared to expand the size of my workshopNow that the army wishes to procure from me in bulk, I intend to establish a new factory in accordance to an idea I got in the northwest” “Factory?” “Yes, 'factory'” Du Wei nodded: “Not a workshop, a factoryThis factory will specialize in theof hot air balloons and related products to the ured outThis new industry, I'll call it: Boeing Airlines” Then Du Wei i process of the hot air balloons wouldn't be difficultDu Wei even made a price quote on the spotIn accordance with the different sizes of the hot air balloons in his possession, he divided it into three classes and set the price accordinglyBased on the existing technology, the largest balloon can at h to low, the biggest will cost eight thousand gold, six thousand for the middle sized, and a thousand for the smallest balloonBut the key here wasn't the balloons, it's the fuelPriced at fifty gold coins per barrel, he accepts the h calculation, Prince Son's eagerness to forht away, he issued out six et line for the orderWith the hot air balloon thing out of the way, Prince Son continues to laugh as he watches Du Wei: “You've had this idea inthat exploding jar thingy will be the sa to sell ht?” Du Wei s its lethality and I've already sold sohness, if you have the military make the purchases from me, I'll be happy to lower the price by another ten percent compared to Governor Bohan's price” With the two business deal down, Du Wei beca much on the hot air balloon … But the fuel was a consu as your hot air balloon takes to the air even once, you will consume the fuel! This type of consuunpowder too! Like this, he has practically monopolized the imperial army's weapons orderWith these results, how can he not strike it rich? In the remainder of the tiainIf the Regent's not going toso silly eitherThedoas because he didn't want it leaked into the public and have an outsider receive the baptisot it planned out alreadyThe Pope was selling the decree in the na the relief fund, then he can just spread the news that he bought it for the sake of the refugees! To the outside, he will say: Although Duke Tulip is not a faithful follower, but as gratitude to the Pope's kindness, he purchased it as a for to the southern disaster relief fundHowever, since he's not a believer, the part about the baptism by the Pope can be voidedAs for the decree, he can use it as a souvenir or momentum in his collectionHmm, yes, let's do exactly thatWith the business end done and over with, Du Wei can sigh a breath of reliefIn their following conversations, Du Wei brought up soossip news of the Northwest's uniqueness and of how he played the arasslandBefore they knew it, the two had conversed till sun fallJust as Du Wei was ready to take his leave, Prince Son suddenly exhaled a long sighFroloo this, Du Wei's heart moved… To tell the truth, this ti that Son has changed a lot, especially his speech and toneCompared to back then, there seems to be a lot of worry mixed into his wordsWhen Du Wei first beca ent, calm, and extremely calculativeA first rate character in Du Wei's opinion!
