Chapter 1231 153. Tacit understanding
As a qualified lord, what needs to be done is to abandon useless emotions and focus on the development and continuation of the territory.
Most lords will also start to cultivate future generations, but in the case of Annan himself being a "descendant", he will focus on the next generation of Free City.
The proportion of professionals in normal towns is between 2% and 5%, while the proportion in Liberty City is less than 1% - this proportion is still raised by the Punishment Legion.
However, Free City also has the advantages of Free City, such as the price of knowledge is so low that it is almost non-existent, schools do not restrict identities, and the lords are wealthy...
But no matter which one, the development of the territory takes time, except... plunder.
Everyone looked at each other in silence as if they were meeting Annan for the first time. It was Idilia who broke the silence softly: "Are you worried that there will be objections if you directly extend a helping hand?"
" Sister, don’t expose me.”
……
The capital of Dimon Kingdom.
People in the Kingdom are worried and happy these days.
The battle reports from the north fell into the capital like snowflakes, and every battle report weighed heavily on everyone.
Nobles are running, businessmen are running, professionals are running, and even civilians are running. With the cold wave approaching in the north, there is no greenery, and it is desolate and dilapidated...
At this time, there are noises that wake up the residents of the capital every day.
They saw endless carriages driving in from outside the city. Sometimes they were loaded with food, sometimes they were brand-new armor, and sometimes they were a steel golem that was over three meters high and vibrated as it passed by. .
But at any time, they could see a girl wearing a felt hat crookedly walking in front and shouting: "Lord Annan said, when the kingdom is in trouble, Free City is in trouble!"
These days, it is a timely help. and strong financial resources, making Liberty City a strong and friendly ally in the eyes of the people of the Kingdom.
In the palace, the increasingly aging king looked at the eldest prince: "The supplies sent by Liberty City exceed one million gold coins. My son, do you have any clues?"
"Father King, I don’t understand either.”
The king knows that this world is made up of interests, and there is no love or hate for no reason... Love for no reason?
He looked at his eldest son who was born to him and the queen and inherited his mother's beautiful eyes: "Has he fallen in love with you?"
"Annan Reeves and I don't have much interaction."
The eldest prince, who had been silent for a long time, spoke and chose to push his sister out: "Should I let Aileen come in contact with Annan Reeves?"
"Aileen..." The king Thinking of his daughter in her prime, he agreed to the eldest prince's proposal.
“Let’s try it first…”
The eldest prince walked out of the palace, went to his sister's palace to tell her the news, and led the expectant Princess Eileen to find Joan.
"Chew Chew Chew...want to see Annan? No problem." Joan put the last piece of bread into her mouth and clapped her hands.
Princess Eileen has never seen such a... female, and looked at Joan curiously.
“There is one more thing.”
The eldest prince talked about Free City’s assistance to the kingdom again. They are all grateful, but...
"Can you stop being so... high-profile?"
Annan's behavior made the royal family a little distressed.
Except for a small number of people who are ungrateful and think that Liberty City is earning fame, most people feel that such a huge momentum will be targeted by the Ratmen.
"No."
Qiong An refused: "Master Annan said, confidence is more important than anything else. Your people run and hide, isn't it because they don't think they can Block the Rat Man? Then we have to make them think we can block the Rat Man!”
The previous sentence was indeed said by Annan.
Six hours later, the portal opened at a fixed time and took Princess Eileen to Liberty City as a guest.
About a week later, the eldest prince came to Joan and expressed that he wanted to say something to Princess Eileen.
Not long after, Princess Eileen, who was visiting Liberty City, walked out of the portal. "Brother, are you looking for me?"
The eldest prince smiled: "My mother misses you. Let me come and see you. How do you feel in Liberty City?"
"This place is just like in the magic image! I saw the sea and the beach, here There are really goblins and orcs, and I saw Chris and his son working at the dock... They all took good care of me and prepared a dinner..."
Princess Eileen clasped her fingers, looking innocent. .
“Where is Annan Reeves?” the eldest prince asked again.
"He..." Princess Eileen looked shy, "He is as beautiful and elegant as in the magic image..."
Seeing that his sister still looked like a young girl, the eldest prince probably understood that both his father and himself had made a mistake.
“Do you still want to stay in Liberty City for a while?”
Princess Eileen looked surprised: “Can you?”
“Well, the king has been away recently. It's too safe. My father and I both hope that you can continue to stay in Liberty City and consolidate our relationship."
"I understand..."
The eldest prince showed a trace of warmth that was rare in the royal family, and touched Eileen's head: "Don't put too much pressure on her."
After seeing his sister, the eldest prince went straight back to the palace to report to his father.
"I think I understand."
The king looked enlightened and said to the eldest prince: "If they are willing to help, just prepare a list and send it."
"Father, I don't understand..."
The king went to the terrace. The eldest prince followed his father. Standing here, you can overlook the entire ancient capital.
"Liberty City is investing... As long as we block the Skaven, we have proven our worth, and what we have provided to us before will be doubled."
This makes some sense, but The eldest prince could not be convinced: "How can they be sure that we can block this offensive?"
"They can't be sure."
The eldest prince opened his mouth. At this point, he already understood...
"I'm going to prepare now."
...
Olmedo stared at the list sent by the Kingdom of Dimon and said to himself: "It's really a lion's mouth..."
“Give it?” asked Ingrid, standing in front of the table.
“Why not?”
Olmedo signed his name in the lower right corner of the list and handed it to Ingrid: "Two copies of all purchasing records, one for Liberty City, and one for the Kingdom of Dimon."
" Got it.”
One of them dares to ask for it, and the other dares to give it to them. They maintain a tacit understanding of each other.
However, as a large amount of goods were sent to the Kingdom of Dimon, and the news of the credit spread with the "Voice of Freedom", there was still some criticism.
The criticism mainly comes from outside politicians. Liberty City and the Kingdom of Dimon have no connection or alliance. Why do they suddenly provide unlimited aid to each other?
The people of Liberty City are just a little confused - officials said that credit is allowed to prevent goods from piling up, so why not just reduce or stop production?
Then someone told them that because Mr. Annan was kind-hearted, he was worried that workers would lose their jobs after the industrial zone was shut down.
As a result, people became even more devoted to Annan and Liberty City.
