"I didn''t expect the kingdom to be in such a mess." Gustav sighed after the scholars of ilu left. If it weren''t for bachelor IRU, they wouldn''t have learned so much information.

    "Arthur, I think the old bachelor is mostly thinking about his school city." Gustav reminded and looked at Thorne next to Arthur. "Do you think so?"

    Thorne just glanced at him and withdrew his eyes without saying a word.

    Seeing Thorne''s cold face, Gustav glanced at Arthur. He never talked to such a guy with only Knight loyalty in his mind.

    "As long as they can work hard and be worthy of the gold coins I pay," said Arthur.

    "Hey, that''s true!" thinking about his busy time some time ago, Gustav was happy. With these bachelors, he could immediately relax a lot. "They''d better be worthy of those gold coins!"

    Looking at Gustav, a profiteer, Arthur smiled and asked, "why, you profiteer don''t have any other ideas?"

    "Other ideas?" Gustav looked at Arthur suspiciously.

    Arthur reminded: "the struggle for power will never end in reconciliation. Sooner or later, the lion and the white rhinoceros will have a mortal battle, and our Duke seems ready to move... What do you say they lack most?"

    "Gold coins!" Gustav replied immediately.

    "Gold coins won''t help them defeat their opponents."

    "Soldier!"

    "Empty handed soldiers don''t have much combat effectiveness."

    Gustav was slightly stunned, then his eyes brightened and stared at Arthur.

    Seeing that the guy finally understood, Arthur smiled and said, "let''s go up the river. We''re poor. There''s only iron ore and horses left."

    Gustav''s fat white face turned red. It seemed that he had seen a mountain of gold coins waving to him.

    "Ha ha!" he laughed and looked at Arthur. Gustav almost shouted, "Oh, Arthur, my friend, my dear friend! We''re rich, we''re going to be rich!"

    "Damn it! If I had known these things, I wouldn''t have sold pig iron at such a low price. Yes, it''s a low price! Damn it, damn it!"

    Gustav was annoyed, as if someone had stolen his gold coins.

    "No wonder those guys don''t hesitate to tease for a few days and spend all their gold coins. It turned out that they came prepared." Gustav looked angry. "Hey, fortunately, it''s not too late. It won''t be so cheap in the future!"

    Gustav was better at dealing with businessmen than himself, so Arthur didn''t bother to ask about the price.

    This guy never loses money on gold coins, let alone a commodity that doesn''t worry about sales at all.

    Arthur directly suggested: "in the future, we should gradually reduce the direct sale of pig iron. We can let businessmen submit orders in advance and pick up the goods with the goods documents next time. Of course, the payment for goods should also be paid in advance."

    Because of the capacity of the forging plant and the demand of shangheling for iron products, the current iron ore bureau still mainly sells pig iron, but Arthur doesn''t want this situation to continue.

    There are too many places to spend money on territory transformation. Even though the benefits of iron mines are amazing, Arthur is still poor.

    The chaos of the Kingdom coincided with the golden period of the development of Shanghe collar.

    "Good idea." Gustav raised his fat chin. "The guy with less than 500 gold coins, let him wait until last month!"

    "It''s your business."

    "Don''t worry, my friend, who am I Gustav? I won''t miss such a good opportunity in vain." Gustav looked proud.

    "By the way, what about green and campes?" Gustav thought suddenly.

    "Although they are now in a mess and have no extra ability to make trouble for us, if this continues, the guy behind them will inevitably lose patience."

    With the information of bachelor IRU, many things became clear.

    More than 20 years ago, the Duke of the Northern Territory was exempted from the glory of the two northern shields because of the betrayal of the oath of the alliance between the green and the campes family.

    According to the ancient covenant: the three families of tustra, green and campes formed an alliance to resist the Warcraft going south.

    The kewilt family and the three allies agreed that although the three northern shield families are still vassals of the kewilt family, they do not need to perform any vassal obligations to the kewilt family. At the same time, the kewilt family does not need to provide any help to the three families.

    Because of this ancient covenant, the families of tustra, green and campes were in a state of independence for a long time, far away from the disputes of the kingdom.

    However, with the discovery of iron mines, the construction of sharp edge fortress and the rise of tustra family, the alliance of the three soon collapsed.

    While the green and campes families are free from fighting Warcraft, they need to fulfill their vassal obligations to the kewilt family.

    With the change of the current situation, the Green family gradually fell to the camp of former Prime Minister and Duke of the East because of their marriage with the Davidson family.

    Although the Duke of kewilt also swore allegiance to the king, he did not clearly express his support or opposition to the successor chosen by olivido III or Rost olivido in the south, but said: the kewilt family is only loyal to the king!

    According to the analysis of Mr. ilu, although the Duke of kewilt may not necessarily support the Duke of the south, Rost olivido, he will not be happy to become the court prime minister, Mond Flavi.

    Arthur agreed with this very much. He was even sure that Duke kewilt also coveted the thorny throne of the king and wanted to add a crown to his family flag.

    No one likes the guy who digs his corner, and there must be a more important reason for a duke to let traitors exist.

    I have to say that Mond flavy did a very stupid thing.

    Although the situation is complex, Arthur is not very worried that the two sides will fight for control of the iron ore mountain, at least not now.

    Therefore, for Gustav''s worry, he said with certainty: "don''t worry, they can only do this. We develop ours, they compete for theirs, and ghost faced Eagles accompany our neighbors. If they want to get things from the river, they will take out gold coins."

    Gustav nodded. Although he didn''t quite understand why Arthur was so sure, he believed Arthur''s judgment.

    They regard the iron ore mountain as a lamb to be slaughtered and compete wantonly. Everyone wants to control it in their own hands.

    But Arthur knew that before the critical moment, the competition for iron mines would end with the tustra, green and campes families.

    Because at this moment, maintaining peace is beneficial to both sides.

    The north is not the biggest enemy of the court prime minister, Mond flavy. Duke kewilt will not be stupid enough to fight with Mond flavy first. He hopes that Mond flavy can win the war with the south.

    "Arthur," Gustav said with a little worry, "the situation is so complicated. Do you think the war will break out suddenly?"

    Looking at the white and fat Gustav, Arthur asked, "are you worried about war? Or are you worried about not making more gold coins?"

    "Gold coins, of course." rubbing his hands, Gustav smiled, "but it doesn''t matter if a war breaks out. Slaves will be two or three times cheaper. I think the longer we fight, the better. In this way, we not only have cheap slaves to buy, but also have enough development time."

    "Profiteer!" Arthur spit out two words.

    "Thank you for your compliment." holding his hand on his chest, Gustav accepted it gladly.

    Arthur was too lazy to gossip with this guy and directly said his judgment: "the Duke of the South will not allow his power to be stolen by Mond flavy. Therefore, when the ass of our court Prime Minister falls on the thorny throne in the palace, the war will break out..."
