C155 Such a Wonderful Plan

After sending Fan En away, Shaun looked at Lee Xiang with a complicated expression. He needed a reasonable explanation.

Lee Xiang naturally wouldn't tell him everything about his plan. The main reason he did that was to prevent the flood from breaking and causing irreparable losses. As for the third tributary that was manually excavated, it was mainly to deal with such incidents. After all, the consequences of a large reservoir breaking through a dam was unpredictable.

And the third tributary that led to the Mongolian Empire was also directly handed over to Fan En to negotiate, because he was almost certain that. . . The Meng Qian Empire was extremely happy about this. After all, water resources were crucial to the livelihood of the people. Therefore, he didn't need the agreement of the Mongol Empire at all. Apart from welcoming them, they also welcomed them.

Fan En was very happy to accept this assignment. Furthermore, the official documents of Duke's Mansion were immediately posted. The efficiency was surprisingly fast. It was so fast that it was almost unimaginable. It gave people the feeling that Lee Xiang had actually planned this long ago. Today, they were called here not to discuss, but to give orders. This made them very puzzled.

After listening to Lee Xiang's explanation, Shaun looked at Lee Xiang as if he was looking at a monster for a long time. He sighed slightly and said. "I really don't know if you are a fool or a saint. To think that you could think of such a complicated matter at such a critical moment. I am very curious. How do you plan to solve the problem of money?"

Lee Xiang slapped his forehead with a headache. " I won't hide it from you, Your Highness. I asked my grandfather for permission on this matter, but he promised to give me half of the money, so I have to take responsibility for the other half. Do you have any ideas, Your Highness? "

Shaun did not know whether to laugh or cry. To be honest, this was a good thing, but he did not expect Lee Xiang to rush to work before he could even raise the minimum amount of money. Was it a little reckless?

"Maybe Sophie can help? Don't forget that she is rich enough to rival an entire country!" Shaun said helplessly.

"I thought about it too. What I hope the most right now is the blood of the empire. You also know that they are the biggest beneficiaries of our building of the reservoir. . . " Lee Xiang blinked.

Shaun was a little surprised. "This is a good idea. "

"That is why we need Your Highness to talk to the empire. After all, you are a royal family. There is authority in what you say, and they also believe you. " Lee Xiang smiled maliciously.

Shaun suddenly realized that Lee Xiang had been waiting for his words for a long time. He shook his head with a bitter smile. "I can give it a try. The chances should be higher. . . However, you don't have to be so anxious. Because there's at least five months until the drought season. "

Lee Xiang smiled faintly. "It is still a long time before the drought season, but the key is that we don't have much time left to negotiate with Moose Empire. . . "

Shaun was slightly stunned. He did not understand how these two things could be related. After thinking for a while, he was suddenly shocked. Then he widened his eyes and looked at Lee Xiang as if he was looking at a monster. His eyes were filled with fear.

"You mean. . . "

Lee Xiang nodded with a smile. "That's right. Otherwise, His Highness would have given me the full authority to handle these matters. Would he agree to allocate such a huge sum of money to me? All of this is because I have the confidence to win! Originally, I was prepared to hide it from His Highness for a period of time. But seeing that you are really anxious, you leaked some secrets ahead of time. "Shaun looked at Lee Xiang with a complicated expression. He had never thought that Lee Xiang would use such a method to negotiate with Moose Empire. Such a method was really out of his expectation. Furthermore, he was almost certain that no one in the entire empire would think of such a method. It was a deadly move.

However, he had to admit that it would be very useful. Although it was a bit inferior. However, it was definitely an excellent chess move. If anyone were to become Lee Xiang's enemy. . . Shaun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought of this. Perhaps Ronton also broke out in cold sweat after hearing such a suggestion. No wonder Ronton could lie on the bed and pretend to be sick. If it was him, he would be the same.

A knock on the door woke Shaun up from his thoughts.

"Master. . . " Kerry's voice came from outside.

"What is it? "Lee Xiang frowned slightly. This was the first time they had met since Kerry was stripped of the highest commander of private army.

Kerry pushed open the door and walked in. He bowed slightly to Shaun, then turned to Lee Xiang and said, "Count Walker has been waiting for you in the hall for a long time. . . " Lee Xiang asked even though he knew the answer.

"Count Walker and the madam have already gone to see the archduke. Now the madam is accompanying the archduke. The archduke means that all the official business in Silo Province will be handled by you now. " Kerry answered respectfully.

Regarding this Kerry, Lee Xiang had been thinking of suppressing him recently. It was a very simple reason, because when Smith secretly sent them to ambush Ling Tian, it had already aroused his vigilance. Furthermore, he firmly believed that Ronton was also very dissatisfied with this matter. That was why he tacitly allowed him to suppress Kerry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to easily strip Kerry of his position as the highest commander.

All of this was because Kerry had misjudged the situation. He thought that Smith would naturally be the next master of Duke's Mansion, so he dared to hide it from Ronton after Smith had given the order. It was precisely because he had placed the treasure on Smith prematurely that it caused others to dislike him.

Ronton was naturally able to clearly see this point. Lee Xiang had never minded hitting a drowning dog. Even if he was a level eight knight. Because he did not lack level eight experts under his command. What he lacked was loyal subordinates. However, given that Kerry had been in Duke's Mansion for too long and had a lot of connections, Therefore, what he did was not very obvious. He only asked him to come back from the border to help him. He continued to be his chief commander. After all, Ronton did not say what he wanted to do to him. He could not punish him for overstepping his boundaries.

"Alright, I got it. I will go over later!" Lee Xiang waved his hand to signal him to leave.

Shaun knew what Lee Xiang was thinking. It was probably because Walker had put him under house arrest for eighteen years, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He smiled. "Alright, no matter what, he said. He is still the special envoy of the empire, and he is half the master of this place. Most importantly, he has a high status, even if you have a lot of hatred in your heart. However, you still have to pay attention to etiquette. . . "

Shaun was hinting him not to be blinded by hatred. Lee Xiang was secretly vigilant. At the same time, he realized that he might have been provoked by Walker's sudden arrival, which triggered his past hatred. Of course. Perhaps it was because his recent plans had gone too smoothly that he seemed to have gotten carried away. When he thought of this, his expression immediately turned solemn. He looked at Shaun and said, "Your Highness is right. I think I have been a little carried away recently. . . I understand what you mean. Regarding Walker's arrival this time, I will pay attention to him strategically. I underestimated him strategically. Just now, I deliberately neglected him. However, it's about time. . . "

Shaun nodded. He was naturally very satisfied that Lee Xiang could calm down so quickly. After all, this involved his own interests.
