Chapter 102: Negotiation

At the end of a slightly awkward banquet, Da Liang and Abigail talk about their true purpose in a room. Monica knew that Da Liang had something important to talk about, so she sat in the chaise longue by the fireplace and drank red wine slowly.

At first, there was silence in the room, except for the crackling of charcoal burning, and neither Abigail nor Da Liang seemed to have any intention of breaking the silence.

Abigail knew that Da Liang and Monica definitely didn't come to Songjiang to see him this time, they came with everything, but they didn't know what they were asking for. However, since the other party has what he wants, Abigail plans to wait for the price to sell, listen to Da Liang's purpose first, and then get Shangjiang City's assistance at the price.

Da Liang was thinking about how to ask for the Dark Cavalry.

At this time, the black elves had an extremely difficult time in Songjiang City, and under the situation of internal and external troubles, Abigail's own army was overstretched, so how could he easily give Da Liang a group of important cavalry. However, looking at Abigail's appearance, he should have asked for something, so Da Liang is not in a hurry to say his purpose, as long as he knows what Abigail wants, Da Liang can calculate how many dark cavalry he can get from it.

In this way, both sides are obviously very anxious, but they also know that whoever speaks first now will be passive in this negotiation.

Time passed little by little, and Monica had fallen asleep in this silent environment.

At this time, Abigail said, "Count Daliang, I am afraid that we will not be able to solve our needs if we sit down like this. I suggest that we write down our respective purposes on paper, exchange them with each other, and then propose the terms of the exchange. ”

Da Liang said: "The proposal of the master mother is very good, we are really a little too stupid in the eyes of outsiders. ”

Abigail and Da Liang each wrote a note about what they wanted to get, and then exchanged it.

Abigail was stunned at first after seeing Da Liang's note saying that she hoped to get a group of dark cavalry, to be honest, she didn't expect Da Liang to come to Songjiang for this matter, Abigail said: "The dark cavalry is the only mobile force in our Songjiang City, and now there are rebels everywhere under the control of Songjiang City, and I need them to protect our mine." I hope the Earl can understand us, there are too few black elves in Songjiang. ”

"This is also expected, and I understand the difficulties of the master mother very well." After Da Liang opened Abigail's note, he said with a smile: "The Master Mother wants Shangjiang City to provide assistance to Songjiang. I don't think that the current situation in Matsue can be solved by aid, and we can give money to the soldiers, but when the money is spent and the soldiers are withdrawn, Matsue will become what it is now. ”

Abigail knew that Da Liang was very right, and he couldn't fundamentally solve Songjiang's current situation by relying on foreign aid alone, but Abigail knew Da Liang's ability, and he could influence Shangjiang now not just by luck, maybe he had a way to solve the current predicament: "Is there any way Lord Earl can solve Songjiang's current situation?" As long as I can eliminate the rebellion and restore order to Matsue, I don't want to feed too many dark cavalry. ”

Abigail issued a mission and took out a reward, whether he can get the Dark Cavalry or not, and how much he can take away, depends on whether Da Liang can solve Matsue's problem.

Da Liang thought for a while and said: "The most fundamental problem in Songjiang is that there are too many aborigines, too few black elves, and the hearts of non-my races must be different.

But if a city wants to develop in an orderly manner, it must have a certain population, and has the Lord Mother ever thought of increasing the number of black elves to make up for the lack of population left by the aborigines? ”

Increase the number of Black Elves.

Abigail really didn't think much of it, the black elves were conservative and xenophobic, not only for other races, but also for their own race. A tribe of black elves is very stable, and the increase in members in addition to their own reproduction is recruited from the soldiers under their control. Abigail's tribe had experienced a war against Matsue and another defeat at the hands of Howard, and the population had not yet reached its heyday number.

In response to Da Liang's suggestion, Abigail said: "Lord Earl may not know much about our black elf race, the black elves are divided into two groups, one is the black elves who adhere to the order and believe in the faceless, and the other is the black elves who believe in the snake face in disorder and chaos. The Faceless Black Elves will gather together to form a tribe and be ruled by a Master Mother, and no One Master Mother will be willing to obey the orders of the other Master Mother, so no Faceless Black Elf will come to Matsue Castle.

And the snake-faced black elves are all wanderers in the dark, even if they are gathered together, it is a group full of intrigue and betrayal, and I will never allow any snake-faced black elves to be in my land. ”

In short, those who can trust are reluctant to come, and Abigail who is willing to come can't be trusted.

However, for the reason Abigail said, Da Liang smiled and said: "Lord Mistress, please don't think about things with the thoughts of the previous tribe, you are now ruling a city. There can be people in a city who support you and people who oppose you, as long as the majority of people support you, the city is yours.

Whether it's a Faceless Black Elf or a Snake Faced Black Elf, in the eyes of other races, you are all Black Elves. As long as the number of black elves in the city reaches a certain level, the rebels will lose hope of retaking the city, and they will stay away from Songjiang, and the city will become stable.

In addition, I believe that ruling a city should not rely on a brutal system, the gold system and the title system are the best ways to rule that have been proven by the Terrans, and most cities in the Overworld use these two systems to govern cities.

After the gold coin system is established, the master mother can firmly control the army through military spending; When the title system was established, the lord mother could manage the people by managing the nobility.

Look at Shangjiang City, two kings are dead, one is missing, the rule of Shangjiang is still in the hands of the royal family, and all the nobles are willing to be loyal to the child in your womb. Why is that? Are we all willing to obey a child who has not yet been born?

No, we obey this system that has been established and strictly adhered to.

Master Mother, the ruling method of the Black Elf tribe is too backward, if you don't want to watch out for someone to kill you and replace you every day, break the rules of your Black Elves first.

Whether it is the Faceless Elves or the Serpent-Faced Elves, Matsue City welcomes them. Invitations were sent to them, and if they were willing to enter the city, they would be given the status of residents of Matsue Castle, and if they were unwilling to enter the city, they would be given a piece of land outside the city to settle down.

Shangjiang, which is rich in materials and prosperous in commerce, is enough to attract the dark elf tribes who are struggling to survive in the depths of the underground.

When the Black Elves arrive, don't use force to force them to obey your orders, and when they accept Matsue's gold coin system and title system, they will find that they have no power to oppose you at all. ”
