"What? Agree!?"

Oscar looked at the magic letter in a daze, and the group of ministers around him were also confused.

"They actually agreed!?"

Oscar repeated it but still couldn't believe the words he saw.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

The ministers immediately congratulated: "In this way, you don't have to worry that the Irruth Empire will lead its troops south for the time being."

"But why?"

Oscar couldn't figure it out: "It's impossible for him to guess our intentions, nor could he not understand the consequences of doing so. Why would he agree?"

Although it is a good thing, Oscar always feels that there is a conspiracy here.

That Don Eun, who smiled all day long, was definitely not as kind as he seemed to be. If he was really so kind and simple, how could he have become the Regent for no reason? Oscar even suspected that what happened in the Irrus Empire and the Kingdom of Sorant were all the result of that guy's secret design!

"Maybe it was because Queen Orina became a lobbyist?"

Duke Domir said tentatively: "After all, Queen Olina has had such a good relationship with you since childhood. Even if you marry Irrus, you can't watch Done send troops to attack His Majesty, right?"

It sounds very reasonable...Olina still loves me very much...

Oscar was confused and almost got distracted.

"Your Majesty, no matter the reason, at least we don't have to worry about it for the time being."

Duke Domir asked, "But your Majesty, did he put forward other conditions?"

Oscar came back to his senses and looked at the magic letter and said: "After signing the trade contract, the Irruce Empire will fully open border cities such as Preston, Paganis, and Fella, establish special economic zones, and open trade ports. At the same time, in order to promote bilateral trade relations, a zero-tariff policy will be implemented at the trade ports, reducing trade costs... etc.!? Zero tariffs!?"

Oscar suddenly came to his senses and stared at the words on the magic letter, looking incredible: "Is he crazy?? That's zero tariffs! Does he know how much fiscal revenue he will lose!?"

Zero tariffs!

Not only the Oscars, but also the ministers below were stunned.

As a trading power and an economic power, any businessman of Ronitant is very clear about the impact of various taxes on business. Among them, one of the most important costs in long-distance trade routes is import and export tariffs. In the past, the prices of goods to the Sorant Kingdom would increase by 50% to 200%, which are all due to import and export tariffs.

If the Irrus Empire really implements comprehensive trade at trading ports and guarantees a zero-tariff policy, Ronitant's commodity costs will be greatly reduced and profits will also be greatly increased!

"This is a good thing, Your Majesty!"

Another minister looked happy: "With the strength of our Ronitt merchants, under this policy, our import and export trade will surely take off again, and the economic growth level will definitely increase significantly next year, and it may even surpass the Irrus Empire!"

Overtaking Irrus?...Not right!

Duke Domir was also very surprised, but after hearing this sentence suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, something was wrong!

"His Majesty."

Duke Domir looked at Oscar with a cautious look: "There is really only these in the magic letter? Didn't you mention anything else?"

Oscar took a breath and continued to read Olina's handwritten letter: "...On the principle of bilateral trade reciprocity, we require Ronnitante to open an equal number of trading ports and implement the same tariff policy. If there is no objection, please agree on the date. His Majesty Done will go to Nanila in person to sign a contract. It's gone."

At first glance, there seems to be nothing to say, but...

"There seems to be nothing to say about opening a trading port. Implement the same tariff policy... etc.? The same tariff policy? Zero tariff? Irrus Empire? Datang Chamber of Commerce!?"

Duke Domir finally cleared the fog in his mind, his face getting ugly.

When he heard his words, the other ministers woke up.

One-way zero tariffs are good, but two-way zero tariffs?

Damn this seems to be nothing to do!

They are not stupid. The main trading objects and goods in the Kingdom of Ronitant are mainly cheap and beautiful, seizing the broadest low-end market, and then gradually spreading to the mid-end and high-end markets. They win with quality and quantity, and fiscal revenue is achieved through large amounts of low-end sales.

However, even if they sell 100 Ronitante gray hoof horses, their profits are not as good as those of the Datang Chamber of Commerce to sell a Harley Motorcycle!

If zero tariffs are implemented, their income will certainly increase significantly, but the same is true for Irrus!

Trade imports and exports will inevitably produce a large amount of capital flow. Although Plandal does not have the concept of a trade surplus deficit, they have already vaguely noticed the problem here.

If the competitiveness and profit margin of the commodity cannot compete with each other, Ronnitante's wealth will definitely flow continuously to Irrus. They are equivalent to being completely kidnapped by the Irrus Empire's economy and obeying the Irrus Empire every move. At that time, what is the point of Ronnitante being an independent country? It is no different from a province.

Thinking of this, everyone in the Throne Hall looked extremely ugly.

Now, Oscars are in a dilemma.

I promised to sign the contract and could only rescue the temporary crisis, but I could only watch the country step by step into the trap set by the other party and eventually become a puppet.

Although not agreeing to sign a contract can ensure economic independence, it is likely to face the crisis of being forced to palace immediately, and will eventually be strongly recovered by Tang En...

Although Tang En, a shameless bastard, does not look like a qualified monarch at all, he can play a trump card with just the powerful power of the Tang Chamber of Commerce and the supreme power of all living beings, making it impossible for others to resist.

If you give four ks, he will make a king!

You give four a, he gives a king!

If you give four 2, he will still be the king!

He has all the cards in his hand and is full of kings. How can he play this?

He is cheating!

But the most annoying thing is that even if you know he is cheating, you still have no choice but to continue playing with him in the rules!

Oscar could have imagined Tang En's complacent look at this moment, but even if he hated him, he could only choose one of the dilemmas to continue.

"Promise him and sign the contract on a date."

Oscar stood up with a constipation: "I feel a little uncomfortable, let's do it today."

Oscar walked into the corridor behind him with a dark face. Queen Shikarin glanced at his father and chased after him with great concern.

"It's all gone, it's all gone."

Duke Domir is also very upset at this moment. What can he do? He is also desperate!

Because this is a request they took the initiative!

Even though they knew there was a trap here, they had to jump in with their eyes open! And they had to jump happily!

So what if you are unhappy?

In front of Tang En, they didn’t even have the power to lift the table!

The Irrus Empire has now become a monster!

An awakened, unstoppable monster!

Tang En didn't know that his simple plot was enough to make Ronitante and his princes and nobles all hated him.

Although he had expected this day to happen, he did not expect those people to discover the trap inside so soon.

At this moment, Tang En, who was greeted by countless people in his heart, was now looking at the large army of dogs in front of him with satisfaction.

That's right, the dwarves who obtained Tang En's personal "tutoring" skills finally successfully trained a group of obedient kobolds.

These kobold men are still timid and afraid of death, but at least they are obedient enough.

Those who stand, never dare to sit, lie down, never dare to get up, those who are hungry, never dare to eat, those who disobey orders have been killed.

After experiencing the bloody lessons of thousands of compatriots, the dog-headed people finally understood a truth: as long as they follow the orders and do whatever they want, they can eat delicious food and fill their stomachs!

Compared to digging food in the soil and eating insects and plant rhizomes, the food that dwarves reward them now is simply a delicious food on earth!

In fact, what the dwarves feed them is only the lees left after making wine.

These guys who were hungry before were reluctant to feed these dog-headed men.

But the kobold doesn't mind!

They were even moved to tears and filled their eyes with tears. The remaining alcohol in the lees were used as condiments by them and they ate them with relish.

So pitiful, so pitiful...

Tang En looked at the kobolds rushing to grab food in a trough, and pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes.

Brian sighed. The eldest brother is indeed kind. He is so moved to see the hardship of the dog-headed man.

Tang En suddenly turned his head and asked, "Have you implemented the last-place elimination system?"

Brian was stunned: "Uh? The last-place elimination system?"

Tang En said dissatisfiedly: "It is the one who makes mistakes, does not obey orders, or the one who performs the worst, and eliminates and kills them. This can warn other kobolds and promotes them to obey orders more actively."

“…”

Return me the touch you just now!

Brian's mouth twitched a little: "Are you a demon?"

"What are you saying? Didn't you say that you don't treat them as intelligent life?"

Tang En spread his hands: "To deal with such guys who like to betray their masters, of course, we have to use a high-pressure policy."

Brian: "…"

Tang En took a step forward: "All the kobolds obey orders, stop eating immediately and line up!"

The group of dog-headed men were stunned and immediately started the team in a hurry, but at this time, there were still several dog-headed men lying on the trough and refused to leave.

Tang En without hesitation to use the mage's hand to capture them into the air and burned them directly to ashes.

After staying up with the kobolds below, their efficiency suddenly improved a lot, and they stood in a neat manner after a few seconds.

"Look."

Donn said to Brian: "The effect is great."

You are indeed a demon!
