"Gold coin, what gold coin?" Arthur asked puzzled, looking at Vernon with a smiling face.

    Vernon was stunned and barely maintained a smile on his face. "Lord Arthur, of course, is a gold coin for 40% of the interests of the iron ore mountain."

    "Oh, this, some, some!" Arthur looked embarrassed after answering in the affirmative, "but I''m afraid I can''t give it to you now."

    "Lord Arthur, why is this?" Vernon asked more.

    At this time, he didn''t think Arthur would rely on the interests of Greenberg.

    "Alas..." looking at Vernon, Arthur sighed heavily on his side.

    "Count Gelin can lend a helping hand at this time. Naturally, Lingfeng Castle should show enough sincerity, but it''s not my embarrassment. It''s really the day of Lingfeng castle. It''s hard!"

    Looking at some surprised Vernon, Arthur continued: "I''m dissatisfied with you. At the moment, there are only 100 gold coins left in the warehouse of the castle. Just after the winter, the Kingdom merchants are still on the road. At the moment, the iron ore mountain has no income at all, and the expenses of the castle are already stretched."

    "How... How did this happen?"

    Vernon could not have expected that an elegant count would complain to him like this. At the moment, looking at Arthur''s worried look, he really had no doubt.

    "Alas..." Arthur breathed again.

    "You know the situation of Shanghe collar. Every winter is a disaster. Although it depends on the iron mine, most of the benefits are taken by your Gelin family and campes family."

    Vernon smiled at the speech. Naturally, he knew it clearly.

    "But, Lord Arthur, the situation is not so bad. Isn''t there thousands of gold coins in Lingfeng castle in recent years?"

    "Hey, don''t mention the thousands of gold coins," Arthur explained. "In recent years, in order to resist the animal tide, the guards of the castle have been killed and injured seriously. It has taken more than half to pay for and cultivate new guards. Moreover, the daily expenses of fifty or sixty people, dozens of horses and people eating horses and chewing horses in the castle are amazing!"

    "Just like this wine," said Arthur, pointing to Vernon''s wine, "there are only one or two barrels left in the castle. I usually don''t want to drink it myself. I''ll give it out when distinguished guests arrive."

    Vernon looked at the wine in the cup at hand in some surprise.

    Arthur noticed the change of his expression, waved his hand and then said, "these are small things, which are not in my eyes, but the serfs are really a headache..."

    Hearing this, Vernon turned his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Lord Arthur, I have seen many new faces in the town recently. It seems that they are serfs. What happened in the farm?"

    "Alas..." Arthur looked sad. "In recent years, in order to resist the animal tide, the serfs have killed and injured hundreds of people! There have been complaints in the farm, so that the manager of the farm can''t sleep at night and is afraid of being cut off."

    The serf uprising and killing the farm manager is one of the standard processes.

    More than ten years ago, the Essex leader in the south of the Kingdom broke out a serf uprising. After killing the farm manager and local nobles, the serfs did not give up for good, but quickly grew into a coalition army and marched towards the capital of the king.

    However, the coalition army had neither strict organization nor clear plan, so it soon evolved into a carnival of burning, killing and looting.

    The Allied forces executed nobles along the way, looted castles and towns, burned houses and smashed shops.

    In the face of the rapidly growing serf alliance, kings and courtiers without a standing army can only shrink in the king''s city and rely on hundreds of iron guards to defend the city.

    Although the uprising was finally suppressed by the vassals, it gave the nobles a deep understanding of the kingdom.

    Either relax the oppression of serfs, or oppress serfs so that they don''t even dare to resist.

    Vernon obviously belongs to the latter.

    "Count, you must not give in to this. Once you show the slightest willingness to compromise, the serfs will advance an inch! At this moment, you should cut off a few heads with iron and blood, and severely frighten them!"

    Looking at some indignant Vernon, Arthur shook his head and said slowly in the puzzled gaze of the other party.

    "I thought so originally. I really don''t deserve pity for the restless serfs! But instead of killing them to vent my anger, I''d better send them to feed Warcraft when winter comes! Although they are cheap, I have to make them die more valuable."

    "Your Excellency is right," Vernon said, suddenly stunned and found that the topic was a little far away.

    "Your Excellency, I understand your difficulties. But if so, I''m afraid it will affect the cooperation between the two sides..."

    "I understand, I understand!" looking at him, Arthur said quickly, "but you can see that it''s not that I''m insincere, but that I''m really embarrassed. Why don''t I divide the gold coins in the castle into two and send dozens of gold coins to count green first?"

    "Well, that''s not necessary“

    Holding the corners of his mouth, Vernon smiled and refused Arthur. Didn''t he deliberately disgust the count by sending only dozens of gold coins back to Greenberg?

    Looking at Vernon, Arthur then said, "I also know that this is not enough respect for count green, but please tell count green that I Arthur tustra have 12% sincerity in the cooperation between the two families. I am willing to share the profits of the iron ore mountain equally with the Green family!"

    Vernon''s eyes lit up when he heard the speech.

    If so, he wouldn''t have to be embarrassed. I don''t think count green will reward him for it.

    "Lord Arthur, please don''t worry. I''ll explain the situation of Lingfeng castle to the count. The count also attaches great importance to this cooperation. I''m sure he can understand your difficulties."

    With the double threat of the animal tide and the campes family, Vernon didn''t believe Arthur would do anything that was not conducive to cooperation.

    After hearing Vernon''s words, Arthur smiled and pointed to the wine cup at his hand: "you''re welcome to drink and drink. You also contributed to this cooperation. I decided to reward you with ten gold... Silver coins! Ten silver coins!"

    Arthur had a flesh ache on his face.

    "Well, thank you, Lord Arthur!" Vernon looked happy, but scolded stingy in his heart.

    Ten silver coins were enough for him to find women several times.

    After discussing the details of their cooperation, Vernon got up and prepared to leave.

    "Lord Arthur, please rest assured that the letter bird from Greenberg will be delivered later." Vernon bowed slightly to Arthur, then turned and walked out of the Council hall with his head held high.

    After Vernon left, Arthur didn''t get up and leave. Instead, he sat in his chair and looked at the door of the Council hall with a frown.

    Things today are strange everywhere.

    The threat of the campes family is understandable. After all, under the threat of animal tide, Lingfeng Castle does not have the strength to fight on both sides.

    But the greens were a little unexpected.

    Arthur doesn''t believe in the nonsense of imitating his predecessors and helping each other. If the Green family had this consciousness, the river collar would not be like this.

    The other party seemed to expect that the campers family would seek cooperation with threats

    Frowning, Arthur suddenly couldn''t understand.

    Through the first negotiation, he guessed that green and campes were not good friends who would wear a pair of trousers.

    Today, it seems that there is a bigger conspiracy. The relationship between the two families is not only a base friend, but an enemy!

    And he, a bit like being hugged and beaten by a rabbit, by the way.

    "Don''t worry about him! The gold coins of iron ore mountain are real!"

    The information was too backward. After thinking for a long time, Arthur didn''t analyze any exact information. He didn''t think about it at all.

    "Development is the last word! No matter what conspiracy or political struggle there is, as long as the river collar is strong enough, I care what Hunter rabbit grass you are!"

    Thorne stood aside and listened. Arthur was rabbit and grass. He didn''t understand what he was talking about.

    Did Lord Arthur want to eat rabbit meat?
