Chapter 471: 163. Next, Murphy will demonstrate what is called "The Lion Opens Its Mouth_2

Murphy snorted.

This time, he solemnly took out a small notebook from his spiritual energy pack, flipped through a few pages, glanced at Shani, coughed and said:

"Let me change my conditions. The issue of territory remains non-negotiable, it’s a fundamental bottom line.

However, on top of the prior three conditions, I’m adding one more: the Nordtoff Kingdom’s Ministry of Finance should lend money to the Transylvania Governorate for purchasing military supplies necessary for resisting the Black Disaster from factories within the Nordtoff Kingdom’s territory.

The captive Blood Servants in our midst can also be repatriated through a ’ransom’ method.

This money will be gradually returned to the Nordtoff Kingdom over the next ten years. If there is interest to be added, it cannot exceed the median number of your country’s official business loans."

"?"

If earlier Murphy’s conditions only made Shani angry, now she was left dumbfounded.

No exaggeration, Murphy’s condition was beyond Duchess Shani’s understanding and even started brutally attacking her worldview as a vampire.

After several seconds, Shani rose in surprise, pointing at Murphy, and said:

"You mean to say, we lend you money so you can buy our goods? With an interest rate so low that it can make the vampires from the finance department come to my house for a duel? Then you call this ’concession’?

Grand Duke of Cui Si!

Can’t you control your servant?

He’s clearly suffering from some sort of incurable mental illness."

"Emmmm"

The Grand Duke of Cui Si rolled his eyes and said:

"I admit what you say makes some sense, but I choose to believe Murphy. If he dares to say so, he must have his reasons. So, Murphy, why don’t you hurry up and explain the principle behind this proposal to these two old ladies who can’t keep up with the times?"

"If you keep making fun of her age, she’s really going to get angry. Lady Shani seems to be very sensitive about this issue."

Murphy whispered a complaint then soberly explained:

"If this proposal goes through, then the Nordtoff Kingdom will become Transylvania’s creditor. In this world, it is always the debtor who fears the creditor, not the other way around. I heard from my governor that Her Majesty the Wolf Queen is also pushing forward reforms within the Nordtoff Kingdom. The military reforms have achieved results, but the commercial and political reforms in the country are fraught with difficulties.

The reformers who support the Wolf Queen cannot expand and can only inspire themselves with loyalty. Now is the time when they need foreign orders.

Think about it, Duchess Shani!

The astronomical number of military supplies and logistical supports needed by Transylvania to resist the Black Disaster is staggering. This is the frontline against the Black Disaster, and our orders will be able to keep how many of your armament factories afloat? It will create how many job positions? It will help you support how many landless free citizens? The reformers who support Her Majesty the Wolf Queen will not only gain status, but now they can also gain tangible benefits!

They will become more enthusiastic because money has always been the devil’s trick to bewitch people’s hearts. The sound of gold coins is so wonderful that it can make the most stubborn old landlords willingly hand over their property, as long as they can see profit from it!

Eh, since it’s a negotiation, let me change my rhetoric to something more seductive.

Iron is used to honor fearless warriors, gray bronze is gifted to sycophantic lovers, silver is used to bribe cunning courtiers, but gold! Only shiny and glittering gold can make everyone satisfied. It can make demons keep their promises, devils learn goodness, fairies pine away, and angels fall into insanity!

Yes!

Gold coins!

As long as the queen has enough gold coins, she can bribe everyone.

War!

I beg your pardon for being blunt, but war is the most valuable business in this world, as long as you learn to make rational use of it.

If you think the above is still not enough, I can even open up Transylvania’s market to the merchants in your country, impose minimal taxes on them, and allow them to dump Nordtoff Kingdom’s goods in Transylvania.

And through Transylvania’s central location on the continent, they can extend their trade routes to the Ligurian Peninsula and even to the elves’ territories.

The great queen will win the support of the merchant class inside the country by taking such effective measures!

The more friends the ruler has, the better.

The support from merchants will further cement the Wolf Queen’s reforms in the hearts of her people. More investment means more factories, and more factories desire more profit. They don’t have to be whipped to willingly devour the old and conservative for the queen, and then spit out even more free citizens that the queen can use.

The kingdom’s chariot will truly be launched!

With endless blood, capital, and desire to provide fuel with, it will crush all the conservatives blocking its path. In the end, it will carry the increasingly radical and greedy kingdom into the abyss of expansion.

Either become a continental hegemon or fall to pieces!"

Murphy smiled, spread his hands, and said to Shani:

"You see, Lady Shani, what I’ve been discussing with you is politics from the start. Wars, negotiations, deals, and money, all of these are just extensions of politics, and yet you have been holding onto this petty gain and refusing to let go...

That is why you can only be the Clan Leader of the Thorn Clan, while your great-great-granddaughter can become a queen!

So, please deliver my conditions accurately to Her Majesty’s desk, and pardon my straight talk, with your current political sense...perhaps, you’re not even qualified to have a seat at the table."
