Super Dimensional Pirates in Pirates

Chapter 532: Acting as a matchmaker for ministers and negotiating business with underground emperors

"It's a pity..." Eric put down the newspaper and said with a slight regret: "Akainu was still found by people from the Navy Headquarters."

"It's best if you can catch Akainu, but it doesn't matter if you can't." Zhang Liang said with a smile: "In short, His Majesty has become the spiritual leader in the minds of countless pirates, the uncrowned king."

"The Dawn Pirates' current reputation is already higher than that of the Whitebeard Pirates who have been traversing the sea for decades."

"However, the Kingdom of China has also become a thorn in the side and flesh of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters."

"We have to fight against the world government, sooner or later, it doesn't matter."

"We must beware of the world government sending agents to assassinate our administrative officials..." Eric reminded: "Zifang, Tingyi (Yu Qian), remember to remind Yuanyue (Xiao He) and others that they must have cadres when they go out to do things.

Accompanying escort."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." The two of them bowed at the same time.

"Don't be so rigid. The rules are all for others to see." Eric waved his hand and continued: "There are no outsiders now, so there are not so many troublesome rules."

"When alone with His Majesty, ministers should pay more attention to etiquette. There is a difference between monarch and minister, and they cannot rely on favors." Yu Qian answered seriously.

"..." Eric also understood Yu Qian's character and asked, "Has Yuan Yue had a heavy workload recently?"

Zhang Liang replied: "Well, we have been involved in recent wars and have incurred a lot of expenses. Yuanyue is personally calculating the food and wages."

"If Your Majesty wants to meet Yuan Yue, I will go find him immediately."

"No need." Eric shook his head and said, "Just let Yuanyue finish his work first and then come to me to report."

Eric asked again: "Have all the army's rewards been distributed?"

"Yes, all the meritorious service rewards received by the soldiers and the pensions for the fallen soldiers have been distributed." Yu Qian replied clearly: "I personally supervised it, and there is no official corruption."

"His Majesty has punished corruption and bribery with unprecedented intensity. Those officials are also afraid of being killed." Zhang Liang chuckled and said: "However, His Majesty also pays high wages to officials at all levels. There are rewards for merit and punishment for demerits. There is no clear distinction between rewards and punishments."

The young, middle and low-level officials have the idea of ​​promotion."

"This is the normal way for a country to thrive."

"But..." Zhang Liang seemed to be considering his words.

Eric urged: "Zifang, if you have something to say, say it directly. I am not a foolish king who cannot listen to advice."

"Yes." Zhang Liang replied: "Agriculture to industry, public construction, foreign wars, and a series of decrees issued by His Majesty are all excellent measures, but these are gold-eating monsters..."

Eric was startled and asked: "The treasury is out of money?"

"There are still some left, but the treasury cannot withstand His Majesty's big moves."

"I understand." Eric nodded and said, "Next year, China will start collecting taxes. Have you decided on the tax rate?"

"Yes." Zhang Liang cupped his hands and said, "After Yuan Yue and Kong Ming visited the country, the tax collection ratio has been initially drawn up."

"Dong dong"

There was a knock on the office door at this time.

"Come in."

"Your Majesty." Kong Ming opened the door and came in, bowing and saying: "Some countries in the North Sea have sent envoys to marry your Majesty."

"Ah?" Eric was stunned and asked, "Why are you here again?"

"This is a good thing, Your Majesty." Zhuge Liang said: "At least, the countries in Beihai have begun to face up to Your Majesty's dominance."

"But why another marriage?" Eric was a little confused.

"...Your Majesty's love for beautiful women may have been spreading in these countries."

"This is a naked slander!" Eric was a little angry. In five years, I only pushed three!

"But -" Eric frowned and said, "Logically speaking, those royal families should look down on me as a commoner."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in a world where strength is the most important thing, the theory of blood can only be sidelined. Although there are some kings who do nothing, there are also far-sighted kings who understand that their country is our goal."

Eric thought for a while and said: "I don't plan to marry the princesses of these countries."

"Why?" Even Yu Qian, who has always been rigid, began to persuade: "This is the fastest way to bring the countries in the North Sea closer."

"I am already engaged to a princess from the North Sea, and -" Eric glanced at the three of them and said, "None of the three of you are married, are you?"

The three of them were startled almost at the same time.

"After all, you are also famous ministers who have been passed down through the ages. It is my fault that you are still single now." Eric smiled "hehe": "The princesses from all the countries in the North Sea do not insult you, how about it? Think about it?"

"However, the person the countries want to marry is Your Majesty..."

"You are my important ministers, and your status is no worse than those of the kings." Eric patted the shoulders of the three of them and said, "Including Yuan Yue and Han Fei. Han Fei has been complaining to me recently, saying that the Kingdom of China

Without a brothel, I can’t even be energetic at work.”

"By the way, how many countries' missions have come? If there are enough people married, we can also include the single Ajin, Lant and others."

Zhuge Liang replied: "...seven."

"Ask their wishes first, don't force them. Kong Ming, I'll leave this matter to you."

Eric was about to push the confused Zhuge Liang to the door.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute!" Zhuge Liang woke up and said: "'Loan Usury King' Lou Feld, 'Warehouse Industry Boss' and 'Concealment Master' Gilbertson have arrived in China at your Majesty's invitation."

"Oh? So fast?".

"The two of them seem to have come to the Kingdom of China together from all nations."

"Coming from all nations." Eric narrowed his eyes.

"Take them to the living room, I'll be there soon."

"yes."

Eric led several people into the living room and said, "Welcome to the Kingdom of China, rare guest."

Feld and Gilbertson stood up from the table and greeted: "Hello, Your Majesty Darren."

The two then looked at each other and asked aloud: "Your Majesty Darren, you have invited us two to come to the Kingdom of China. Do you have anything important to tell us?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I have business to discuss with you." Eric led Xiao He, Zhang Liang and others to sit down one after another, pointed at Xiao He and others, and asked: "You need me

Can I introduce it to you?"

"No need." Giberson said with a smile: "In the underground world, several of your names are well known."

"Xiao He, who is in charge of finance, Zhang Liang, who is good at strategy, and Zhuge Liang, who is in charge of diplomacy, are all important officials in China."

Eric raised his eyebrows: "The emperor of the underground world is really well-informed."

Then he asked: "Are you coming from Big Mom's territory, Wan Guo?"

The two hesitated for a moment, then nodded and answered, "Yes."

They knew very well that the Big Mom Pirates took the opportunity to sneak attack on the mainland of China and lost to the Dawn Pirates. Facing the Dawn Pirates, who were even more powerful than the Big Mom Pirates, they did not dare to be careless at all.

The two even vaguely realized that Morgans had secretly joined the Dawn Pirates.

The two of them were naturally very envious of having a new and more powerful backer. So, when they received Eric's invitation, they immediately set off for the Kingdom of China after the wedding of the Big Mom Pirates.

Eric asked in a mocking tone: "Big Mom is having a tea party again?"

Giberson hesitated for a moment and said: "It's a wedding. Charlotte Lingling wants to use marriage to form an alliance with Elbaf's prince Loki."

With Morgans's urine, Big Mom's wedding will be published in the newspapers sooner or later, so he might as well take the initiative and tell Eric the whole thing.

"Oh..." Eric didn't remember some details very clearly. It turned out that Laura's escape from marriage happened this year.

"..." Feld recounted what happened at the wedding: Big Mom replaced Lola with Chiffon, but Loki saw it through at a glance. Big Mom wanted to force Rocky to marry Chiffon, but ended up suffering from Sireia and letting go.

Loki and others ran away.

"Cake Island was not destroyed by her own hands?"

"I heard that Katakuri, one of the three generals, took action to stop Big Mom, who was suffering from Sirexia."

"Is Katakuri so strong?" Eric frowned.

"The two of them fought in the mirror world, and we don't know the details."

Eric nodded and started the real topic: "You two, how do you think the development of the Kingdom of China is going?"

"Very good!" Feld replied: "It only took His Majesty Darren one and a half years to build the country of China, which was riddled with holes, into this state."

"You've also heard about it, right? I put a bounty on the navy's heads."

The two people exclaimed: "Yes, this is really an unprecedented feat!"

"However, there is a problem now." Eric said distressedly: "My forces are distributed in the New World and the North Sea, South China Sea, East China Sea, West Sea, and the pirate group in the first half of the Grand Route. Even if I kill the naval general, I will not be able to kill them."

There’s no way to easily collect the bounty.”

"It is indeed a problem." Giberson nodded.

"So, I would like to ask Gilbertson to do me a favor." Eric smiled and said, "Please make warehouse stores all over the world a place to exchange naval bounties."

"Uh..." Gilbertson was stunned.

"Isn't this a trivial matter to you?"

"Yes, a lot of my goods are contraband, and there is no problem with the navy's heads. Let me handle this small matter."

"I will add 20% to each sailor's bounty as your service fee."

"This is such a small thing, Your Majesty Darren doesn't need to spend any money."

Eric waved his hand and refused: "Favours are favors, and business is business."

Eric turned to look at Feld again: "Feld, China needs funds for development, can you provide a loan?"

"It's my pleasure."

"I'll let you guys discuss the specific matters." Eric gave up the main seat for Xiao He and others, and said with a smile: "But please give me some more discounts?"

"Definitely, definitely..." Feld nodded repeatedly, with beads of sweat dripping from his greasy, fat face.
