Chapter 421: transaction

Oreo Beamon, the patriarch of Beamon, the current emperor of the Orc Empire.
The orc empire's complex race and hundreds of ethnic groups, large and small, doomed the emperor of the orc empire to be unable to control the country as easily as the human emperor.
This orc emperor, every day, deals with conflicts of interest between different races.
Oreo dropped the papers in his hands and rubbed his temples vigorously.
This document was handed over by the Lions, claiming that their Lions' territories want to reduce taxes due to poor annual harvests and poor harvests.
The orc empire is indeed not suitable for farming due to its geographical location, but this does not mean that all orc lands cannot grow crops, and about one-twentieth of the empire's territory is still barely able to grow.
These territories are controlled by the famous monks. As the royal family of the orcs, the territories are naturally the best.
The nobles control the territory and pay taxes to the empire in proportion every year, and the empire will uniformly allocate these materials to the weaker ethnic groups in order to maintain each other's livelihood.
In previous years, all orcs and nobles paid food on time. After all, they also knew that this was a necessary expense to maintain their rule.
But now, the lion people actually play such a small abacus!
What territories are dry, Oreo knows that this is a lion!
Not to mention today that the orc empire is generally weather-smooth, and there are no big cricket moths. Even if there is really land to fight drought, it will not be the domain of the Lions. After all, there is a huge freshwater lake in the other territory. There may be a shortage, but there is no shortage of water!
"Your Majesty, how do you reply?" The Minister of Finance asked, bending down.
Oreo felt his head hurt more.
It is impossible to agree. The Lions are big contributors of food. The food delivered each year is enough to feed several ethnic groups. Once they lose their supplies, these ethnic groups are very good enough to survive this winter.
Oreo Phoebe would care about the life and death of these small groups, but he was worried that it would affect his dominion over the orc empire.
After all, if the orcs face despair, they will become crazy.
Oreo didn't want to make the empire run wild.
But rejection is also difficult.
The same royal family, even though the Beamon family now occupies the throne, has limited influence on the same lion family as the royal family. The latter obviously also knows this, so it will openly make this non-divided request.
"Decreed, send officials to the Lions to see the disaster in the territory."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lord Treasurer bowed his head, and did not dare to match Oreo's eyes.
Although people are nominally sent to check the disaster, everyone knows that there is no such thing as a drought.
So the officials sent out were not for disaster relief, but Oreo sent to lobby the Lions.
In other words, the dignified orc empire emperor intends to negotiate conditions with the lion race.
Just as the atmosphere gradually became embarrassing, the guard came in and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Seck asks for an interview."
"Your Majesty, if nothing is wrong, please allow Weichen to retire temporarily."
"Go on."
The Chancellor of the Treasury left and Seck walked in.
What surprised Oreo was that his son didn't look right.
I just wanted to ask why, but Seck had already stepped forward to his book case and put a few small bottles on it.
Oreo opened one of them curiously, and asked with some uncertainty: "Spices?"
"Yes, Father, this is a seasoning called cumin."
"Good, but Seck, you're here, don't you just want me to see a rare spice you get?"
"Father Huang, if you look closely at the bottom of the bottle, you will understand the intention of the children."
Orio carefully looked at the bottle in his hand, as Sec said, and gradually, his face was a little bad.
Because he saw the fox logo on the bottle.
"Seck, is this Fox thing?"
"To be precise, it's a human thing. The Fox clan has already connected with humans and started to sell human goods brought by the other party."
"They are absolutely not allowed to do this!"
As an emperor, of course, Oreo would not understand what Seck said.
There are enough royal families in the orc empire, and he definitely does not allow the foxes to insert another foot.
For Oreo, the foxes obviously have a prominent identity, and the territory is quite rich. It is only necessary to attach behind their Beamon family. Now, what the foxes do is betrayal in his eyes!
"According to the laws of the orc empire, no orc can communicate with the clan privately. The fox clan has violated the bottom line!" Although for the sake of self-interest, Prince Sike had a look of righteousness in his mouth.
Oreo heard Seck say this, a smile of relief on his face.
"You're right, but after all, the Foxes are the Empire's Wangs, and their princesses are your fiancees, so we can't go too far in this matter, at least, not let the Foxes lose face."
Oreo's meaning is very obvious. You can save face with a fox family, but not with lizi!
Seek heard what his father-in-law meant, nodded, and said his arrangements again.
"Very well, human pirates attacked the greedy human merchants. This is normal. But Seck, be sure to do things beautifully, not let those humans enter the empire's territory, nor can they give the foxes Clan left no handle. "
As long as there is no evidence, once the human merchant ship sank on the sea, the Fox clan guessed that it was the hands of the Beamon family, but for the continuation of the group, they had to swallow their voices and then continue to be a vassal of the Beamon family.
This is the best ending Oreo can think of.
"Father Emperor, the son-in-law just came in and saw that your face is not so good. Is there something upset?"
"Now that you are here, I want to hear your opinion."
Oreo handed the document in front of Seck, who looked at it with an uneasy look immediately after reading it.
"The Lions are extorting!"
After Seck finished reading, he left the documents heavy on the table, his voice very angry.
"The orc empire will choose new kings from the royal family every ten years. Now the deadline has passed. The father and the emperor, in the eyes of their sons and daughters, want to use food and to slap us.
Oreo was unconvinced by Sec's anger, he just wanted to know if the latter could come up with some constructive solutions.
"Father, wouldn't you agree to their request?"
"I have just decided to send officials to the Lions territory to inspect the disaster."
"Father, you are bowing to the lion!"
"So, what better advice do you have?"
Seck was stunned by anger just now, but he was awake immediately after hearing Oreo's question.
The Lions can be said to be extorting black people from the Beamon family. This is not their arrogance. On the contrary, this is exactly how they have confidence.
Although the Beamon family still occupies the throne and has a righteous reputation, the Lions are not inferior to the Beamon family in terms of strength on both sides, and in some places, they may even surpass it.
Therefore, tearing the face is impossible, unless the Beamon family is confident and can completely wipe out the Lion people.
"Sek, the Lions are determined that we can't get more food, so there is no fear, and the situation is indeed as they expected, so the necessary compromise ..."
"Father Emperor, what if I can come to the grain?" Sike suddenly opened his eyes and said eagerly.
"If there is food, then it will be much easier. Although it is still not possible to really turn their faces with the Lions, but at least it will allow them to blow their reputation in the orc empire." Oreo said gratefully, but he still I don't think that Seck can really produce so much food. After all, this is a year's ration of a dozen tribes, and the amount is amazing.
"Father Emperor, you may not know. This time I came here, not all because of the fox family. There is one other important thing for the sons and daughters. I want to ask Father Emperor to decide."
"whats the matter?"
"Before that, the sons and daughters dared to ask the father and the emperor to meet someone."
A few minutes later, Oreo saw the man in Seck's mouth.
It is indeed a person!
Oreo narrowed his eyes.
Gaze back and forth between humans and Seck.
If it wasn't for Seck's clear eyes, and Oreo hadn't felt the strange magic, he would almost think that his son was in human magic.
"Don't be nervous, Your Majesty, I am from a distant human kingdom. I come here this time and just want to make a deal with you."
"Since it's a deal, that King wants to know what you want."
"It's simple. As long as you give an order, it's just a hand for you."
Oreo wasn't confused by the words of his opponent, and his thoughts became more vigilant.
"What command do you want?"
"My master wants His Majesty to order that the orcs rebel against the Greek Empire."
"His joke?"
The orc empire is very closed, but as an emperor, Oreo is more familiar with the countries of the continent.
He knew that the Greek Empire was one of the most powerful nations in mankind, with vast land and rich land, rich resources, and a large population. It was very far away from their orc empire. To reach the Greek Empire, they had to travel by sea.
In this case, how could Oreo have ordered the orcs to go to sea to intervene in the war of human excesses?
"Your Majesty misunderstood. My master did not ask you to send troops to the war. Of course, if you really intend to do this, we are very welcome, and even we can pay a greater price for this."
Oreo doesn't care about the so-called price, because he knows that he can't do anything, so he just wants to figure out what medicine is sold in the other person's gourd.
"Your Majesty should know that the orc war was defeated and the human race was driven to today's backcountry ..."
"Pay attention to your words. Although I don't know who your master is, I know that as long as I'm not happy, you will die here immediately."
"Dear Your Majesty, I have no intention of offending your majesty."
Although the man said this in his mouth, there was no half fear in his tone, but Oreo did not really plan to execute the other party because of this trivial matter, at least until he knew the other party ’s intentions. .
"go on."
"Thank Your Majesty," the man bowed slightly, and then said, "After the race, not all orcs were transferred to the orc empire today. To my knowledge, many orcs remain in the Greek Empire."
"Are you planning to use these kings' orders to let these orcs listen to your orders?"
Oreo finally understood the other's intentions.
"Smart as you!"
"What will you pay?"
Oreo knew that once he really gave the order that the other party wanted, even the orcs left in the human empire would be involved in the war.
But what does it matter?
Like human beings, Oreo doesn't really care about those lowly civilians, not to mention that these people are now in the human world.
If these orcs' lives can be used to exchange enough benefits, Oreo is indeed a good deal.
"Gold coins, magic cores, food, drugs, as long as your Majesty wants, you can negotiate."
Gold coins do not matter to Oreo, after all, the orcs lack everything ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is not short of money. As far as the magic core is concerned, the orcs rarely have the ability to master human magic, so Not much use.
But food and medicine are different.
As long as there is enough food, there is no need to bow your head to the aggressive Lion race, and medicine, for the Orc Empire, is a hard currency more valuable than gold coins. After all, no one can guarantee that he will not get sick.
"My King can give you what you want, but how can you guarantee that after you get the king's edict, you will deliver food and medicine?"
Oreo did not trust the so-called credibility, let alone a human guarantee.
He can betray the orcs left behind in the human empire, but only if he has what he wants, otherwise, why does he do such detrimental things?
The man in black also knew that he could not get the trust of the other party, so he had already prepared.
"Your Majesty, as long as you promise, within ten days, food and medicine will be delivered to you. By then, we will complete the transaction in person. What do you think?"
"How is this possible?" Seck asked in a questioning voice.
He did not intend to disrupt the transaction, but he did not feel that the other party had the ability to send a large amount of food and medicine to the Imperial City within ten days. After all, this required a lot of human and material resources.
"His Royal Highness, please rest assured that food and medicine will arrive in ten days, and I ask you to prepare your edict in advance."
"If you can really fulfill your promise, it's not a problem on my side."
Oreo nodded, and agreed to the cooperation, but after that, he still had a question.
"Her Excellency is not weak, but don't you worry, we will go against it?"
"Sir, we still have many opportunities for cooperation in the future, don't we?"
