Chapter 657: The Beginning of the Plan

"Copper, Iron, Carbon ......"

They don't even need to read on, they basically understand.

Sure enough, just as they imagined, the 'zero tariff' of the Duchy of Sorrow was not only to deal with the Moore Merchant Federation, but also to plunder resources!

Standing in front of the sign, the raw material suppliers in the crowd glanced at each other and tacitly looked away.

They all know the truth of 'making a fortune out of silence', before this they have hoarded a lot of raw materials in the territory of the Kolo Kingdom, as long as they wait for ten days, when the news spreads, they can start to transport goods here.

And they have also discussed with each other, and they will not dismantle other people's platforms if it is not necessary.

The aristocracy did not know what it meant to 'earn money together', and they preferred to eat alone, but the merchants were different.

Merchants don't have that much ability to eat alone, and merchants pay attention to 'harmony and wealth' - this is a new phrase that they only learned after coming to this country, and it is indeed very appropriate - if it is a big chamber of commerce that eats alone, no one dares to say anything, but they are originally a competitive relationship, and if they eat alone, they may be dealt with by other people.

They have carefully studied and discussed, and who is responsible for that part has been clearly assigned, and if a certain raw material is collected in a short period of time, the 'efficiency' can be greatly improved.

Most of the goods that are open to 'zero tariffs' are some raw materials, and although they are not 'contraband', in this era, metals are mostly some more precious things.

If you don't have a little ability and connection, you really can't get these things!

Outside the town hall, everyone was amazed by the generosity of the 'zero tariff', discussing their thoughts and opinions with each other, while inside the 'lord's office', Edith closed the window, keeping the noise and cold out.

She frowned slightly, looking a little worried.

"Sister Serena......"

Edith turned to look at the maid who had returned to her desk and asked softly, "Is it really okay for us to do this?"

The maid looked up, held her glasses, and chuckled, "Edith, this is your plan—what, don't you have confidence in yourself?"

Edith hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "No, it's just a little worried...... These are all things you taught me, Sister Serena, and I believe you can't be wrong. ”

The maid smiled, her smile full of confidence, "Of course I can do it wrong, but never at such a time!"

"The rest of the action will continue to be directed by you, and I will watch from the sidelines. After a pause, the maid continued, "If necessary, I will take over, so don't worry, if you have any ideas to act boldly, I will be your most solid backing!"

Edith's mouth opened slightly, a little surprised.

In her eyes, Sister Serena returned, but instead of taking over the work from her, she continued to command—something flattering to her.

Originally, she had planned to stand aside obediently and continue to study, but she didn't expect such a play!

"This ...... Is it really possible?" asked Edith in surprise, a glint of hope in her golden eyes.

The maid bowed slightly, "Of course you can!"

This...... Does this mean that her current abilities have been recognized by Sister Serena, and that she can help Sister Serena?

For a moment, Edith felt overjoyed and couldn't help herself.

Inspiration flows, like a fountain of water, and a lot comes to mind in an instant.

But these are the products of excitement, and when she slowly calms down, these ideas are all vetoed by herself.

There is no doubt that although there are many ideas, they are all ideas with many holes and flaws, and if they are put into action, they will only completely mess up this operation, so that Sister Serena will not be impressed with her.

She must make a good result, with so many legendary powerhouses by her side, if she doesn't die herself, then it will be difficult to mess up this operation.

This operation has a lot of room for maneuver and a high margin for error, and several legendary powerhouses will follow her command to act, so she must avoid being 'calculated'.

'Be careful, be careful!' Edith admonished herself.

Then, she suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, Sister Serena, you and Krylov III had a letter before this operation, right?

The maid was stunned for a moment, then her eyes narrowed, she looked Edith up and down, and said happily: "You are really a little clever, you have discovered this!"

The corners of Edith's mouth twitched, but her eyes stared intently at the mature woman in front of her.

Sister Serena's correspondence with Krylov III was not a matter of concern, the problem was that she suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something else mixed in with this 'zero tariff' - for example, 'malicious'!

Feeling Edith's gaze, the maid shook her head and laughed in a low voice: "I told him not to make any superfluous moves in this operation, if we buy raw materials, let the other nobles in the kingdom make trouble, he and his allies had better not do anything, concentrate on developing their own, what should be done or what should be traded, and don't ask if it shouldn't be done." ”

Yes, this is it!

A flash of inspiration flashed through Edith's mind, and her thoughts suddenly flowed.

This policy is full of 'malice' towards the nobles of the Kolo Kingdom - when the news spreads, they will definitely not be able to help it.

The purchase price of the Duchy of the Winds was a bit higher, but it was set for the productivity of the era, and Edith had studied the data outside of the Duchy of the Winds and calculated it repeatedly before deciding on the price.

'Sister Serena's ability to adapt to situations is amazing!' Edith subconsciously admired in her heart.

The opening of 'zero tariffs' has long been decided, and she didn't think of so much originally, but if the article 'can hit the development potential of the various noble territories of the Kolo Kingdom' is added, then it will get the full help of the royal family.

Although it is impossible to harm others and benefit themselves, as long as the metal raw materials in the nobles' territories are reduced, the ability of their territories to produce armor and weapons will be greatly reduced.

In this era, the technology of mining and refining is not very sophisticated, and the high purchase price offered by the Duchy of Sorrow will make all the nobles go crazy and empty their stocks.

Because the Kingdom of Kolo has just begun to recover from the civil war, there will be no more wars in the short term, and even friction between nobles will be very rare.

In this way, Krylov III could not make a profit, but from another point of view, their approach could lead to the early arrival of the 'possible reunification'.

Sister Serena has set a 'deficit ceiling amount' for the Rezel royal family, but not for other nobles, if the Rezel royal family has been growing, and other nobles are secretly weakened, then one or the other, soon, the Kolo kingdom may usher in a new change.

If Krylov III had done so, he would not have been able to empty all the nobles of power like they had done in the Duchy of Sorrow, but he would certainly have reclaimed power - at least not to keep the nobles too large in their armies.

'Changing the world' has been around for a long time, but the political system and the way people see things are just beginning to change.

It's not all quiet, it's just that the action on the surface is so 'lively' that the same vigorous changes are hidden out of sight.

"However, what happened in the Kingdom of Kolo this time has nothing to do with us!"

At this time, the maid reminded: "Edith, you just need to command this operation well!

It was only then that Edith remembered what they were doing this time......

"Yes, Sister Serena. ”

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the surging emotions slightly, the corners of Edith's mouth twitched, and an excited smile appeared on her face, "I keep it in mind!"
