Chapter 164: 164: Water Can Carry a Boat and Capsize It (Fifth Change)
"This time, I'm in favor of His Excellency Wallace."
Aslan said with a smile.
Meriya said directly: "We need 10,000 pieces of cloth, of course we are buying them, but we need a discount from Lord Aslan, and I am also very interested in the lacquerware and pottery in Merlot Town, and I hope to purchase some batch."
The corners of Aslan's mouth curled up slightly. He knew that Meria had already used cloth to open up commercial channels between the rebels in Gorland.
In this way, the products of his town of Melo can reach the entire Kingdom of Cleveland with the help of the Gorland rebels.
"Of course you can, but you need to go to Melo Town to discuss these things in person." Aslan said lightly.
It's not that Aslan is unwilling to sell, but there are many things that Melo Town itself urgently needs. For example, winter is coming, and he will never sell the cloth at this time. There was news of someone freezing to death.
So a lot of supplies were included in the big list by Essien and Wilson. Before they couldn't meet the needs of the territory, even Aslan couldn't even try to pick things out from the fingers of the two old men.
Now the two old men are really devoting themselves to the construction of Melo Town.
Meriya frowned slightly.
"Lord Aslan, we can give enough support to the war between the X Army and the Billy Army. I don't know if you are interested in hiring us to fight for you." Meriya continued to speak.
Hearing this, Aslan frowned slightly and said.
"Tell me about your conditions!"
He wouldn't be foolish enough to think that Meriya would let people from the highlands come out and work hard just to make money. They, who have opened up trade routes, as upstream wholesalers, don't have to worry about whether the goods can't get out. The only thing they need to worry about is the town of Melo. Goods are not available.
"We want to establish a territory in the Kess region." Meriya said unhurriedly.
When Aslan heard this, he immediately showed a playful smile.
Full and warm thinking**!
Wallace's family has also successfully established trade because of its contact with other ministries, and its life is getting better and better, and now it is starting to plan their great cause again.
Meriya's request is very simple, that is, to ask Aslan to give a way so that their army can safely pass through the Belgian area.
Judging from their performance, they should have already found a good foothold in the Kerks area.
Aslan smiled and said, "You guys are all confident!"
Wallace and Meriya looked at Aslan suspiciously.
"Let's be honest! The teacher's goal is the entire Melox province. It's just that Billy City has just undergone a major reshuffle, and many places have to be re-arranged, so we don't do anything to the Kex area for the time being. Do you think it's possible? Or do you think The teacher can't beat Governor Jacksu." Aslan said with a smile.
These words made Wallace couldn't help showing a dignified expression.
The smile on Meriya's face also gradually disappeared.
This is to divide the territory, and Aslan's attitude is also very obvious.
Melox Province is the territory of the Marquis of Medea. If they want to continue to develop, they can only go outward, let alone the territory of the Rocky Mountains. If they continue to develop new bases in Melox Province, it will definitely usher in The blow of the Marquis of Medea.
"Lord Aslan! Are you too confident? After all, your territory is also in Melox province."
Meriya didn't say anything later, and Aslan understood what she meant.
If the Marquis of Medea really had such ambitions, his Melo region would also be very dangerous.
"And if we can gain a firm foothold in the Kess area, we can also respond from beginning to end in the future."
Meria continued.
Aslan shook his head disdainfully.
"It's no wonder you were beaten by the royal family and ran around like bereaved dogs. I thought you were a wise man in Meriya, but unfortunately your vision is too low. If the Gorlan army is similar to you, I can only think about your future. Huh."
Meriya didn't understand what Aslan's "hehe" meant, but she could roughly understand its meaning.
Kruse, who had followed Aslan for some time, became thoughtful.
"It seems that Lord Aslan has a different opinion!" Meriya said indifferently.
"Hehe!" Aslan didn't answer, but looked at Kruzer, asking expectantly.
"After following me for so long, don't you still understand the key here?"
Both Wallace and Meriya looked at Kruzer, while Aslan was drinking the after-dinner black tea by himself, feeling indescribably leisurely.
Feeling the eager gazes of the two people closest to him in his life, Kluzer could only bite the bullet and say, "Lord Aslan's general meaning is that the Gorland Plateau is both large and small."
The rough Wallace asked confusedly, "What do you mean?"
Meriya was lost in thought.
"The area of the Gorland Plateau is indeed large, but it is small compared to the entire Kingdom of Cleveland, not only the land area, but also the population." Cruze said with a serious face.
Apart from being caught off guard by the royal family at the beginning, the Gorland rebels were almost defeated after repeated battles.
Now I think it's not that their fighters are not strong enough, but that the population is too small and the equipment is too poor.
Every time I have to face enemies ten times as large as myself, and the equipment is still one level short.
The Cleveland Army is no longer an enemy that can be defeated by faith and fighting will.
Wallace also fell into silence. In fact, he was also aware of these problems.
"Everyone, it might be easy for you to want the Gorland Plateau to be independent, but if you want to challenge the Kingdom of Cleveland, that's just a joke." Aslan leaned back in his chair with absolute confidence in his tone.
Meriya stood up and saluted Aslan.
"Taught! Lord Aslan."
Aslan nodded in satisfaction, he just likes to talk to smart people.
"Then how can we seek independence?" Meria asked again.
"Wait! Now the Kingdom of Cleveland is full of internal conflicts, provinces and regions, and the people are about to be suppressed by the nobles' exorbitant taxes. It is only a matter of time before they rise up." Aslan suddenly said mysteriously.
The more Meriya listened, the brighter her eyes became.
"You can let the rebels from all over the country pay attention to this point secretly. If conditions permit, help them train the army by the way, which can bring a lot of trouble to the local nobles."
"The uprising of the people is nothing more than the light of fireflies. If they can't make a big wave, they will be suppressed by the local nobles. The uprising army without the support of the nobles cannot last." Wallace said disdainfully.
"That's right! But when there are more people in the uprising, the economic impact on the local nobles will be severe. Over time, the nobles will eventually be coerced into the chariots of the uprising people."
Aslan's words caused everyone in the box to show shocked expressions.
"Water can carry a boat and also overturn it."
