Chapter 1139. Not Even Dating, Suddenly Becoming a Mother or Something...

In the Blood Rock City Castle, Tang En took back the magic power that had escaped from his hand, and then a small and exquisite gemstone necklace fell into his hand.

"It's done."

Tang En pinched the gem, then coaxed Vinette, who was flexing in his arms, to put the necklace on her. Then he gently touched the necklace with his finger, and saw a burst of light and shadow changing, and the devil's horns, wings and... The tail just disappeared.

Using a necklace that stabilizes the transformation spell to cover up Wynette's demonic features is currently the only way Tang En can think of. Otherwise, if the people know that His Majesty Tang En, whom they admire, has actually raised a devil daughter, I'm afraid that There will be a coup in minutes.

"Looking at it this way, Vinette is quite cute."

Alleria looked at Vinette in Tang En's arms. After covering up the devil's features, she had completely transformed into a cute little human girl. Although the purple hair and pupils were a bit conspicuous, it was not uncommon among humans. Don't worry too much about your hair color and eye color.

"Then you take it back and raise it?"

"I-I don't want it!"

Alleria blushed, turned away, and hummed: "You didn't even talk about love, and you suddenly asked me to be a mother or something, it's too much!"

"..."

What kind of tsundere are you playing all of a sudden!

"We'll talk about Weinette later. Let's talk about business first. Have you heard the news from the city lords of the remaining cities in Grace?"

"Yes," Alleria turned around and came back, glancing at Vinette who was arching around, a trace of heartbeat flashed in her eyes, "Grace has a total of twenty-eight large cities, excluding those that were destroyed by you a while ago. Thirteen cities were lost, as well as fifteen large cities. These fifteen cities and surrounding villages are concentrated in the lower-lying areas in the central and northern parts of Grays, covering 70% of Grays. s population."

"If the city lords of these fifteen cities declare their allegiance, it means that Grace has completely fallen under your control."

Tang En muttered: "It's quite refreshing for them to surrender."

"This is normal..."

Fiona complained: "Now there are rumors circulating in Grace that Stanley angered you, and you used legendary spells to destroy most of Grace in anger. Faced with a man who can use legendary spells They are extremely powerful men, no matter how arrogant they are, they can’t be disobedient, right?”

"What? I can't take the blame!"

It was obviously Horus who did the good deeds, but why did I take the blame?

"I'm afraid you still have to bear the blame."

Alleria looked at Tang En with great sympathy: "As an emperor, kindness alone is not enough. Only kindness and power can make the people obey your rule. In the past, you were too accustomed to using lenient policies. I am afraid that some people have It’s not that I obey you that much, this time is just right to extinguish the signs of restlessness in their hearts.”

Wynette was dangling in front of Tang En, and Tang En pressed her head down hard: "Of course I know about this kind of thing..."

Alleria added: "What's more, even without the use of legendary spells, our military strength is enough to crush them without pressure. We only killed 50,000 of the 500,000-year-old Grace army. Just the spread of this news has scared those guys enough, how could they still have the guts to resist your rule."

"Ollie's right."

Fiona deeply agreed: "You don't need to show your personal strength to become a solid backing for a stable country. What really makes our Illus strong is the various powerful weapons and equipment you have developed. Those The weapons and equipment are too powerful, and this is our real weapon to unify Purandar."

"Now, except for Ronitant and the Renn Empire, the entire Purandar can be said to have completely fallen into your hands."

Alleria glanced at Tang En and asked, "Next, your target should be Ronitante, right?"

"Don't worry for now. Just rebuilding Grace will keep us busy for a few years."

Tang En sighed. He didn't know what Alleria was thinking. Oscar, the king of Ronitante, was after all Olina's brother and Alleria's uncle. Although there was no family relationship between the royal family, as long as there was no trouble, It's too stiff, but there is still some family affection after all. If Twain wants to attack Ronitant, the biggest difficulty may be Olina.

"If you have plans, don't worry about my mother and me. After all, we are all aware of your important mission."

"It's not that I worry about you. In fact, Purandar is now completely under my control in theory."

Tang En raised his hand and slowly clenched his fist, and then a chubby little hand began to pry his fingers. Tang En's face froze, and the serious atmosphere collapsed instantly. He had no choice but to continue playing with Vinette, and then He continued: "Controlling Purandar does not necessarily require the formation of unity in the actual sense. As long as the people and resources of the entire Purandar can operate according to my will, and the entire social civilization develops in accordance with my established direction, then It's enough."

"As you said, although the Rennes Empire and Ronitant have not been unified by me yet, don't forget that Testero now looks like a fan of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce. The Rennes Empire from top to bottom It has been completely opened up by the Datang Chamber of Commerce. Their food, clothing, and housing are all products of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. Even the jobs they need to support their families are provided by the Datang Chamber of Commerce. Now the economy in the Renne Empire is Their lifeline is completely controlled by us, and if they break away from the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, they will return from civilized society to primitive society, so it is impossible for them to rebel again."

"Although Ronitant has not fallen into that situation yet, that is because of Ronitant's policy restrictions. However, following the last negotiation, after the treaty ports were opened for duty-free import and export trade, our products have also It will accelerate its entry into Ronitante’s market and quickly capture thousands of households, making them loyal users of the Datang Chamber of Commerce.”

"The next step, what we have to do is to use the influence of the Datang Chamber of Commerce to subtly change their thinking, so that they subconsciously agree that Illus and Ronitant are an indivisible whole. At the same time, we We can also help build some schools, factories, etc., to carry out 'correct' historical education in a small area."

"If the army and weapons are our weapons to conquer the world openly, then the Datang Chamber of Commerce is our magic weapon to control the world secretly. You must know that in a civilized society, mastering the economic lifeline of a country is equivalent to mastering the country. .”

"So, as long as my brother-in-law doesn't cause any trouble for me, and I don't bother to care about him that much, let him continue to be his carefree king."

At this point, Tang En shrugged: "Then again, if it is really necessary to bring Ronitante back, I just need to treat the products of the Datang Chamber of Commerce differently and only provide them to the domestic market. Exporting things to the outside world, especially some sensitive and important things, can attract those people to take the initiative to have the desire to return to the Illrus Empire. I am worried that once the situation develops to this extent, my brother-in-law will not I'll be mad..."

Alleria and Fiona were dumbfounded by what Tang En said, but when they thought about it carefully, they found that what he said made sense.

What is the purpose of ruling a country?

that power?

Wrong, to put it bluntly, in the final analysis it is not for wealth!

Because power makes money!

The king controls all the resources of a country and has the power to allocate resources at will, so he can maximize wealth and interests.

But if all the wealth that a king values ​​most is taken away by another person, then what's the point of being a king?

Take Ronitant as an example. The reason why Ronitant is able to prosper in Purandhar is because they have been promoting commerce. The economic vitality is very high, so the living standards of the people are generally higher. High, support for the king is also high.

But if the Illus Empire intervenes and imports a large number of high-quality and low-priced advanced products, taking away all the wealth that originally belonged to Ronitant, then Ronitant's economic level will drop significantly.

How to deal with this situation?

Unless the country's products are better and more competitive, and the tariffs on imported products are increased to protect the country's industries - but the emergence of duty-free trade ports destroyed this possibility. At the same time, the magically modified industrial products have Ronny Tante's characteristics cannot be easily copied, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of Ronny Tante's overtaking in production.

Then there is a further situation. The Datang Chamber of Commerce and Ronitant have become an interdependent whole. Ronitant's government, which cannot obtain wealth from other ways, begins to rely on the tax revenue provided by the Datang Chamber of Commerce, which makes the relationship between the two parties worse. Becoming more inseparable.

At this point, the Datang Chamber of Commerce has actually been able to control Ronitant's economic market, which means that it is impossible for Ronitant to escape the shadow of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, and Tang En has achieved the actual goal. Control Ronitante's purpose.

The situation of the Renne Empire is more similar to that of Ronitant, but it is more exaggerated, because the Renne Empire is now heavily in debt, and all current construction work is paid for through overdrafts in the future. Strictly speaking, the Renne Empire is now Became a vassal of the Illrus Empire.

But the residents of the Renian Empire were still happy with it.

Why?

Their lives have become better!

Because for the people, they don't care who the ruler is, as long as their lives get better, they are satisfied.

Just take this step by step and steadily, and sooner or later the entire Purandhar will become one.

And now, Grace is a critical turning point.

A few days later, the city lords of Grace were brought to Blood Rock City by messengers, and then Tang En showed them the tricks in the castle.

Then, without saying a word, these city lords all knelt on the ground and swore allegiance to Tang En.
