Chapter 195 (1/2)
Sure enough, Sophia didn't even mention the separation of the enclave at all. Instead, she looked at Sean intently and said, ”if the Jacobs can really flow back, I will support you to capture here, but you must swear your allegiance to me.”
”Actually? Or in name? ”
”It seems to be true that the Regent's life was not easy at Lancelot.”
The first one was asked by Sean, and the latter was muttered in his own mind, for he was noticing the difference in Sophia's wording.
She used me, not Lancelot.
The difference is big.
In allegiance to Lancelot's royal family, there was little difference between Sophia's reign as regent, but once she ceased to be regent, she would have nothing to do with her.
There is no worry about the personal loyalty to Sophia. Once Sophia no longer acts as regent, the orders of the royal family of Lancelot can be ignored. According to the law of the Byron League, there is nothing wrong with it.
The real allegiance Sean asked about was still nominal, and the difference was even greater.
As a matter of fact, it would be the Regent Princess Sophia's real subject. She would have to pay taxes and respond to her call to war order. Of course, she would also have the responsibility of protecting Shawn's fiefdom.
Nominally, as the name implies, is a white toothed statement issued to the outside world. There is a subordination relationship of more than one name. Then what kind of relationship should be done? What is the relationship between the two sides in private depends on the interests of both sides. If the dispute is deep enough, it is impossible to become a real subordination. It is also common to tear up the agreement and refuse to admit it. The agreement has been signed It's for tearing up.
”Nominally.” Sophia, the Regent princess, is a smart person. She will not put forward the conditions that the other party can not agree to, even in the assumption, because even if the other party agrees now and turns around to tear it up, there is no sense in it, ”but we need to sign a trade union agreement, advance together and retreat together.”
”No problem.” Sean nodded and agreed without hesitation. Dealing with smart people is sometimes very simple, because the other party will automatically avoid your sensitive bottom line, and it is easier for both sides to reach a consensus.
The Regent's supplementary agreement was obviously directed at the Kingsley family.
This is too much to worry about. At that time, all the existing cultivated land of Yongye group army will be destroyed, and it will not slow down for three or two years. At that time, it will not be necessary to import grain, let alone export it.
Moreover, it is foreseeable that the two sides will have a conflict in order to turn into a swamp of despair.
”I think we have reached a consensus, and the problem will return to the original point. You can make the Jacobs flow again. I have come up with a compromise. I don't know if you are interested in listening to it?” The Regent Princess Sophia was also very satisfied with Sean's frankness and clearness. The side reflection of some things is more illustrative than the direct answer.
From a series of reactions of the other side, the other side is a liar and a prepared liar. At least he believes that he can make the Jacob river flow again.
”Yes, before that, why don't your highness listen to my terms.”
Of course, the eternal night Army wanted the Regent princess. Otherwise, Sean would not have to come all the way to see Sophia in person. He was not a money giver, and the benefits would depend on the face of others.
If you simply don't want to be charged with killing millions of people, it's enough to send a messenger lobbyist. Believe it or not, it's the Regent's business.
”Willing to listen.” Sophia's spirit rose, not angry but happy.
The most difficult opponents in the world are not greedy people, but those who have no desire or desire.
If Sean keeps a high attitude from beginning to end, she can't do it. If the other party asks for something, whether it's the real situation or the big thief, she'll show her horse's feet.
”I need a lot of shipbuilders, the more the better, and once the Jacobs flow back, I need to buy in a lot of food.”
Both of these are naturally related to the re flow of the Jacobs river. Shipbuilders are required to open their own shipyards in advance. When the river flows back, they will take the initiative first-hand, whether they are going out to do business in the plain of Asia Minor in the West or settle in the swamp of despair in the south.
In the first few years, the swamp of despair must be linked by water, and the role of boats is greater than that of horses.
Buying grain is a helpless choice. Originally, Sean wanted to be self-sufficient and wait until he had enough food to start the spring thunder program.
Judging from the problems faced by the Yongye group army at present, there is not enough time at all. It is not only the chain reaction caused by the variation of wild animals, but also because the Yongye group army is ready to eliminate the internal affairs in advance and win the Chengzhai alliance.
As for whether they can win the Chengzhai alliance or not, the Yongye group army does not worry about this problem from top to bottom. It is just a matter of paying the price.
However, after winning the Chengzhai alliance, the food crisis faced by the people has made people scratch their heads, and their eyes can only turn to the outside of Andes mountain.Don't think about it. It doesn't produce much food here. After years of war and chaos, ten rooms are empty, most of the fields are deserted, and everyone is facing a food crisis.
Only the royal family of Lancelot in the plains of Asia Minor could be cited for assistance.
”Shipbuilder? Buy food? ” Princess Regent Sophia straightened up and looked at Sean again with a fresh look.
With these two conditions, she needs to reorient and examine the re flow of Sean and the Jacobs.
Because for the first point, even if the other party is a liar, it is also the top cheater. At least he believes that he can make the Jacob river flow again.
”It's OK to buy grain, but we have to use the market price and find a way to transport it back.”
The Regent Princess Sophia promised to buy grain. In recent years, the plain of Asia Minor has been in good weather, and the grain has been piled up in the warehouse. Her fiefdom has adopted a new policy. It is no exaggeration to say that she is now the largest grain owner in Ashan.
Grain in Ashan never worried about the market. Manyujunling was the biggest customer, but Sophia doubted their ability to pay.
”Deal.” As long as there is a way to buy and transport things, you can find another way, and you are not in a hurry for a while.
”Shipbuilders, I can find a way to collect them. I want you to have the right of first refusal of your dockyard ships. You can sell me half of the ships produced every year at cost, whether they are warships or merchant ships.” Sophia is also the master of overkill, regardless of whether it is useful or not, first mixed with the last foot.
In case the Jacobs really return to flow, it's impossible without a boat.
