Chapter 3394 The Silly Lobbyist
There are only a few dozen people who can speak in front of the two queens.
Apart from a few elders, there are also great nobles connected by blood to the royal family.
Obviously, I was also among those being roped in.
Since I am a foreign elder, I have the lowest status among the elders, and I was also removed from the position of prime minister by the old Duke.
Naturally, the messenger didn't have any expectations for asking me for help, so the person sent to talk to me was just an insignificant character.
And this little guy didn't come to my tree house door early in the morning, knock on the door and wait, but waited and stopped me on our way to slay monsters.
To be honest, I am very dissatisfied with his attitude.
Although I am only the lowest status among the elders in Moonlight City, an elder is an elder. Strictly speaking, the ranks of all elders are equal, and the so-called distinction between superior and inferior is just a joke between idlers after dinner. .
But I didn't expect that some people actually took the joke seriously.
I don’t know whether I should say that the lobbyist dressed as a businessman in front of me is innocent, or should I say that he is completely stupid?
Although this person's performance is very poor and his attitude is average, I don't intend to hold a grudge.
Little people, especially those who don't understand etiquette, have no need to hold grudges.
As the saying goes, no matter how high the quality is, how high the achievement is. Such a small person without much quality will probably have limited achievements in the future.
With a hypocritical smile, I took leave from Fenghuang and the others, and then followed this lobbyist dressed as an unqualified businessman to a nearby pub.
I ordered a few dishes and a bottle of wine.
When the sake was served, the other party first poured me a glass, and then poured himself a glass. He raised his glass and said respectfully to me: "This glass is for the elders of foreign tribes."
"You're welcome, you're welcome," I said hypocritically, and then drank it all in one gulp.
After three glasses of sake, the other party started chatting and started lobbying mode.
He first vomited bitter words to me, saying that it was difficult to do business and make money. Then he brought the topic to the national war, analyzed the general economic situation for me, explained the pros and cons, and persuaded me earnestly, saying that cooperation would benefit both sides, and separation would benefit both sides. If there are two disadvantages, Moonlight City should make an immediate decision and send reinforcements to assist Dasai City. Doing so can not only preserve the great cause of justice, but also make profits from it. Why not do it?
Faced with his rhetoric, I had no reaction at all.
The battles between Dasay City, York City, and Airey City do affect economic development, but it does not affect the economy of Moonlight City, but the economies of the three countries themselves, especially the economy of Dasay City.
Because the battlefield chosen by the warring parties is near the pastures in Dashai City, it will directly affect the development of animal husbandry.
Once the animal husbandry industry, one of the major economic systems in Dashai City, is restricted, Dashai City's fiscal revenue will be reduced by at least 10%.
Of course, I am referring to the situation where the national livestock industry is restricted at the same time.
Now that the national war has just begun, the animal husbandry economy has only suffered a loss of more than ten percent, and it has not been damaged yet. However, judging from the speed of the escalation of the national war, within a few months, the loss of the animal husbandry economy will increase to more than half. .
This is something that no businessman in Dashai City wants to see, even other businessmen whose business has nothing to do with animal husbandry.
The main reason is that the animal husbandry industry is so big that it can affect the overall economic development, so it has such an impact.
This is probably the real reason why the lobbyist dressed as a businessman in front of me lobbied me.
After drinking a glass of wine, I smiled and said, "It's a wise decision, I'll consider it."
Although the lobbyist in front of me was not polite enough and had a mediocre attitude, he did have some knowledge. When he saw what I said, he knew that I was perfunctory, so he changed the topic and asked me about my hobbies.
I also put it bluntly: "Interest, brush monsters, hobby, brush monsters."
This answer immediately confused him.
Are you interested in farming monsters? Are you interested in farming monsters?
This is a hobby that I can’t even pursue if I want to.
So he grimaced and continued to analyze national affairs and the economy at home and abroad with me.
I really don't like hearing him tell me this stuff here.
You know, as a foreign elder, I know more about national affairs than he does, and I analyze more thoroughly than he does. And as the adopted son of Master Dewey, even if I have no business acumen, I have been nurtured with some business inspiration, right?
The ordinary economic context can still be figured out.
If you ask me to predict economic trends, I will be honest.
Since I don't check with you in both aspects, why should I listen to you babbling here?
Aren’t the beauties at the Moonlight Tavern delicious?
Or is the sofa at home uncomfortable to lie on?
So I listened patiently for another quarter of an hour. When the food came, I listened politely to his ramblings while tasting the food and wine.
Finally, I waved my hand, called the waiter over, took out a handful of silver coins, put them in the waiter's hand, and said, "No need to look for them."
The lobbyist looked confused and murmured: "Sir Elder, what are you doing?"
"I'm very busy, so I won't listen to you anymore," I said, "I paid the money, and there should be a lot left over. I see that you haven't eaten much, so you must be very hungry. If you still want to eat, just order it." , you’re welcome, then, bye.”
After that, get up and leave.
Go straight, turn around, and come to the Moonlight Tavern.
Sosia was drinking and chatting with Shalan and Alice. When she saw me coming in, she smiled and said, "Are you here to drink today, or to inquire about information, or to see our sister Shalan?"
I waved my hand and said that was not the case: "I'm just here to relieve my boredom."
"Relieve your boredom?" Shalan stared at me and said, "Are you still depressed?"
"Everyone gets depressed sometimes, right?"
"But you are not human," Shalan said calmly, holding the wine glass.
Well, you're right.
"Are you troubled?" Sosia asked.
"It's okay" I said.
"Tell me, I'm a little curious, what makes you so depressed?" Sosia asked with a smile.
"The messenger from Dashai City."
"The messenger from Dashai City?" Shallan took over the conversation: "Are you depressed because of such a small person? Isn't it funny?"
"No, I'm not depressed because of this. I'm just being slighted today."
"Contempt?" Sosia smiled and said: "Master Dewey's adopted son, Her Majesty the Elf Queen's fiancé, Her Majesty the Fairy Queen's future grandson-in-law, and you have the support of the apostles behind you. I really don't know how you will be despised?"
"He is the envoy from Dasai City," I said with a wry smile, "They sent a fool as a lobbyist to persuade me to persuade His Majesty to send troops to assist Dasai City."
"How did he despise you?" Shallan asked curiously.
"First he stopped me halfway, and then he took me to a tavern. He started talking to me about the economy, and started talking about the structure. Alas, in short, it was just one word, annoying."
