Another winter, Edith received a letter from Greenland, and after glancing at the sender and receiver, she asked her subordinate to give it to the maid.

It was a letter from Krylov III, what was written in which she did not know, but it should not be a particularly urgent matter.

Krylov III's letter was sent to the Mage Tower, as the maid was currently studying what was going on with the 'circuit' of the magical material, and now that considerable progress had been made, it would not be long before the first attempt to make a test could be made.

"Seth, take it apart!"

The maid was reading at her desk, and she didn't have the time to read the letter.

Cervantes, who was sitting on the side with nothing to do, opened the envelope and looked twice, "Krylov III probably wants to start a business cooperation with us...... Huh?"

The black dragon suddenly raised his eyebrows and sat up straight.

His eyes swept over the letter again, and after confirming that he had read it correctly, the corners of his mouth curled, and he was in a good mood.

"Interesting...... Hey, that's funny. Cervantes was amazed.

At this time, hearing the laughter of the black dragon, the maid raised her head and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Hehe!" the black dragon waved the letter in his hand and laughed twice, "Krylov III wants to start a commercial cooperation with us, but not with the 'kingdom', but with the 'royal family'. ”

The maid thought for a moment, and then figured out what was involved.

"Is Krylov III trying to strengthen the royal family...... she laughed along, "if that's the case, then it's really interesting." ”

Why strengthen the royal family?

Needless to say, every nobleman wants to strengthen his family, usually they will connect the strong of the foreign clan with the family through marriage, or cultivate a strong man themselves, these are the usual means, and it is not surprising to strengthen the family power through money.

With the money, they can buy new equipment for their family's army, train a stronger army, or simply devote themselves to training the family's children, which is a good choice.

The nations of the world of Assatom are not so much a 'nation' as a collection of many territories.

Each lord is the supreme ruler of his own territory, and they can even rebel against the king's orders, as long as the family is strong enough, they can take the crown from the royal family and wear it on their heads, because through dozens or hundreds of years of marriage, almost every nobleman has royal blood.

It only takes a 'king is incompetent' to be able to turn the white into the black, fabricate the facts, and then kick the royal family off that throne and sit on it himself.

This system was barbaric, and although the nobles claimed to be civilized, when they stripped off their politeness, all that was left was barbarism.

The king was only a larger nobleman, and the royal family was only a more powerful family, so it was understandable that Krylov III would do so.

However, the power of the royal family is now the strongest in the entire kingdom, and if they become more powerful, they will be feared by the other families and impeached against them.

Just find a reason, there is no need for too legitimate reasons, if the royal family is strong, other nobles will start to be suspicious, and they are afraid of how the royal family will treat them, and maintaining balance is also something that a king should learn.

And after the appearance of the Principality of the Sorrowful Wind, the vigilance in the hearts of the nobles was raised to the highest point.

There are lessons learned from the past of the Principality of Sorrowful Wind, and no nobleman dares to take his country's royal family lightly, for fear that his country will become the next Principality of Sorrowful Wind, and he will lose all power because of it.

But in this tense time, it is intriguing that Krylov III still emphasized 'with us' rather than 'with the kingdom'.

"Reply to him!"

So saying, the maid took a random piece of white paper and pen from the side, clicked some ink, and began to write a letter in reply to Krylov III.

Of course, commercial cooperation could not be so hasty, and after she replied, Krylov III would send an envoy to Wende City to negotiate with them, and it would take about a month or a half before it could be preliminarily finalized.

But for this kind of thing, the maid is happy to see it.

The muddier the waters of this world, the better it is for the Principality of Sorrowful Wind - the more conducive to the development of the Principality, and the more in her interests.

What's more, what she said about 'changing the world' is not just talking, she can take this opportunity to promote the banknote 'Tia' to other countries.

The development of paper money in today's world is not very smooth, although the merchants who do business with the principality have some paper money in their hands, but other merchants do not use paper money to trade except with the principality.

It also has to do with the 'value' of paper money, and when they first set the face value of paper money, they took into account the common people first, and then the merchants.

However, without merchants, paper money would not have been able to spread out, which is why the current embarrassing situation has arisen.

They wanted to promote paper money to the world, but due to various reasons, or because of the limitations of the times, or because of the lack of value, paper money has not been able to get out of the Principality of Sorrow.

Even in the glorious holy city of 'Lolandal' and the agricultural holy city of 'Egger', banknotes were only circulated in small quantities and did not play a role in influencing mainland commerce.

But now she has a great opportunity to promote the banknote 'Tia' to Greenland, and even to the Kingdom of Crow.

With the Kingdom of Kolo as a crowbar, the opportunity to leverage the commerce of the entire continent is just around the corner!

And she also knew what Krylov III was worried about, and the concept of a trade deficit may be a bit ahead of its time in this day and age, but anyone who is a businessman should know a similar concept.

In the nature of Krylov III, he would not be arbitrary, he would consult with those who knew the matter well, and then make a decision.

The person he sent will not be the vase-like court nobles last time, since the royal family wants to do it, then it must want to do the best.

As long as the settlement is settled with paper money, then they can give a discount of 80% or even 7% when exporting certain goods.

As for the trade deficit, this needs to be calculated carefully, and now it is just about to end the year, and the statistics are almost out, and by the time Krylov III's envoy arrives in Wende City, it will almost be finished.

Count the amount of trade with the surrounding territories of the Principality of Sorrow this year, and then put forward some plans to limit the quota to avoid the trade deficit.

But what really bothered the maid was what if the messenger sent by Krylov III had a lot of things in mind, but couldn't choose between them.

She was well aware that the Principality now had a lot of things that could play a major role in the country's development, and most of those things could be sold.

Some sell technology, but many only sell finished products - they can't produce them with technology, so they only sell finished products.

If Krylov III really wanted to unify the Kolo Kingdom, then those things were really hard to choose.

It's a pity, this is the limit of the times!

The black dragon on the side listened to the maid's lament, as if he saw the golden coins slowly draining in front of his eyes, but he couldn't reach out to take those little cuties into his arms, and the pain was abnormal.

"This is the times......"

Listening to Serena's sigh, Cervantes also shook his head and sighed: "This is the era......"

After writing it, the maid picked it up and checked it, and when she found that there were no major problems, she handed it to Cervantes along with the letter from Krylov III.

"It's a good opportunity to give these two letters to Latinia and ask her to add some notes later. I don't know how long I'll have to wait if I miss it!"

The maid narrowed her eyes and smiled, looking like a fox who had succeeded in her treacherous scheme.

Because she knew that Krylov III would definitely not refuse!
