Opening an office in Taila

Chapter 321 Letania

The Twin Queens' words didn't really surprise Song Yufeng. The only thing that surprised him was that the Twin Queens were so eager to cooperate with him so early. In Song Yufeng's plan, the Twin Queens should have waited until Ursus and Yan Kingdom had completed their post-war reconstruction and Minghuang's business had fully covered both countries before discussing it.

This is not hard to understand. Letania has always been an ally of Ursus, but relations have deteriorated considerably. They are allies in name only, without any real alliance. Now that Ursus has allied with Yan, the two countries will inevitably experience a period of rapid development and a golden age of trade. Moreover, since the end of the Yan-Wu Rebellion, Ursus has undergone a major power reshuffle. Now the emperor has firmly grasped power, and Ursus will inevitably usher in a period of great reform. As a traditional ally, Letania naturally wants to get involved and, incidentally, repair the somewhat broken relationship of the past.

Minghuang gave Letania such an opportunity. Both countries are now undertaking large-scale infrastructure construction to recover from the losses caused by the war, and Minghuang has taken on a large number of orders. At the same time, under the intervention of Yan Kingdom (Jingyu), a large number of idle and increasingly competitive civil engineering masters have entered Minghuang, which has led to a huge leap forward in Minghuang's construction industry.

Moreover, the project price offered by Minghuang was very low.

As a result, Minghuang obtained orders to replenish its funds, the idle celestial masters no longer needed to roll scrolls and also had work, and the Yanwu Kingdom also took the opportunity to obtain more and better infrastructure at a relatively low cost.

The closer the cooperation between Minghuang, Ursus, and Yan Kingdom, the greater the opportunity for Letania to achieve renewed cooperation and common development between the two countries through Song Yufeng, and even to re-engage with Yan Kingdom to expand the cooperative market.

After all, Letania is currently in a recovery period.

Moreover, Leitania not only coveted the diplomatic value of the Dark Emperor, but also another aspect of it: Originium.

As is well known, Letania is a nation of sorcerers. The great sorcerer king was able to destroy the Gallic army with his powerful magic. Such a nation must have an extremely high consumption of Originium. Song Yufeng had long regarded Letania as one of the most important expansion areas. Later, Song Yufeng's smuggling group did enter Letania and won the favor of the Twin Queens with its high supply and excellent quality.

Given the combination of these two factors, it is quite reasonable for the Gemini Queen to say this.

However, the Gemini Queen had more to consider than just these things.

“Mr. Song, as you know, Originium is basically controlled by nobles, and our power is hampered by the Electors in many ways, especially in terms of Originium supply. If we can achieve our own Originium supply, then the army will naturally not be a problem. You can even lower the price of Originium and suppress the Originium industry of other nobles. In this way, we can achieve a win-win situation,” said Ivignad, one of the twin empresses.

“That’s what I think too, but I’m afraid of being targeted by your nobles,” Song Yufeng replied.

"Mr. Song need not worry about that. Just send the goods. We have our own ways of dealing with nobles."

Song Yufeng nodded. These twin queens really had a lot to do, from restricting the nobles to building an army. Although Letania seemed stable on the surface, the remnants of the Witch King and the loose local nobles always threatened the country. They must also want to follow the example of Ursus and carry out a major reform, but unfortunately they lacked the initial capital, so they could only ask Minghuang for help.

If we could take this opportunity to collaborate with the Gemini Queen, that would be great.

This is similar to Song Yufeng's original strategy. In this way, the cooperation will gradually expand to all countries in the future. Then, Minghuang will act as a go-between to achieve true cooperation among all countries, while introducing policies for infected individuals and requiring all countries to implement them.

It was a bit naive, but Song Yufeng couldn't think of a better way for the time being.

"I wonder if your country has any intention of getting involved in the Lontinim matter?" Song Yufeng suddenly asked before the conversation ended.

"This...we are not..."

“Sigh, actually, we at Minghuang can also provide other services sometimes, such as sending troops to maintain regional stability, or providing support to local governments to maintain regional stability. These are all within Minghuang’s business scope. Even eliminating factors that cause instability in the country is within our business scope,” Song Yufeng said softly.

The twin queens exchanged a glance and then said, "This... I think we need to consider this further."

In conclusion, the trip went quite smoothly, not only achieving cooperation but also gaining potential assistance.

As for where we're going next...

Song Yufeng looked at the map of Yan Kingdom...
