Throne of Vientiane Civilization

During the previous bidding, Fisher was obviously hesitant.

He might as well take advantage of this "favorable treatment" to sell another batch of individual crossbows to Peter, and at the same time increase Fisher's strength.

I guess he will be more decisive in raising the price later.

"It's still the same price. I'll sell the next batch of individual crossbows to you directly."

This price is definitely not cheap, but as Gilt said, the most important thing right now is to scale up the crossbow troops under their command.

Faced with this opportunity, Peter agreed without thinking twice.

"Okay! That's settled then. I'll go arrange for a new batch of immigrants now!"

After saying that, Peter left with an excited look on his face.

Basically, as soon as Peter left, Fisher came to the door.

Naturally, there is some connection between the two.

If Peter hadn't come so quickly, Fisher wouldn't have been in such a hurry to come over.

As soon as Fisher arrived, he began to ask indirectly what he and Peter had talked about.

This time, Zhou Xu had nothing to hide, or rather, Fisher's inquiry was exactly what he wanted.

"Nothing much, just bought another batch of individual crossbows from me."

Hearing this, Fisher's expression changed instantly.

"Your Majesty, isn't this about bidding?!"

As the size of the Luosha Republican crossbow force continues to expand, the trouble it can cause him will increase exponentially.

Peter had already bought a batch of individual crossbows before, and now he bought another batch? The crossbow troops of the Luosha Republican Party have clearly taken shape!

It can be seen that Fisher was obviously anxious at this moment, and even his tone unconsciously carried a hint of questioning.

This kid can't tell the difference between a big king and a small king!

At this moment, Zhou Xu did not tolerate him at all. With a glance, invisible mental pressure swept out on the spot.

At the same time, Chitose, who had been acting as a pillow the entire time and was dozing off, also opened his eyes.

A pair of dark golden eyes stared at the other person coldly, making Fisher's dark face turn several shades paler in an instant.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was too excited."

Facing a wizard in the out-of-body realm and a transcendent creature in the Vajra realm, Fisher couldn't stand up at all.

When he looked away, Fisher felt his body lighten, as if relieved from a heavy burden. Unconsciously, cold sweat had soaked his entire back.

During this period, Zhou Xu leaned lazily on Qiansui's body.

"You can bid, but wait until next time."

This result made Fisher's expression freeze, but he was helpless.

"Then, let's do it next time. Your Majesty Emperor Zhou, please don't forget me again during the next auction."

Having said that, Fisher seemed to have remembered something and spoke again.

"Speaking of which, I have a question in my mind, and I would like to ask His Majesty Emperor Zhou to answer it."

“You can ask, but I won’t necessarily answer you.”

Fisher listened and didn't think much about it.

"In this crossbow transaction, did Peter use slaves as bargaining chips?"

On these two occasions, tens of thousands of people were sent out. Fisher was not blind, so how could he not know this?

Zhou Xu had nothing to hide about this, so he nodded generously.

"That's right."

"Then can I also use slaves as bargaining chips?"

"Of course, but I need young and strong people with working ability. Although underage children are not impossible, their value will be greatly reduced."

"By the way, if both of you use labor to trade with me, I will have too much labor, and the value of labor will decrease. You should understand what I mean, right?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

For Zhou Xu, being able to obtain more labor is naturally a good thing.

But on the other hand, if he wants to develop, he also needs resources. While ensuring the internal resource reserves of their Great Zhou, it is equally important for him to obtain a large amount of development resources from the outside.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I understand what you mean."

Zhou Xu had already made his words so clearly, there was naturally no room for Fisher to not understand.

However, even though he understood it, he naturally had his own plans in mind.

[How many resources does Peter have? He dares to compete with me now, just because he has a large number of slaves. ]

[Is he the only one who has slaves? I have plenty of slaves too! ]

Before the Luosha Republican uprising, Peter gathered all the slaves in the three cities in the country under his command, but even so, Fisher still had slaves from two cities.

Of course, these slaves all had owners. According to their laws, these slaves were the private property of the slave owners. Even if he was a royal family member, he had no right to interfere.

But it is true that he only needs to make some adjustments and mobilize the slave owners in Smith's party to gather a large number of slaves in a short period of time, which will not be a problem at all.

His idea now was very simple, that was to offer as many slaves as Peter offered in the next auction.

His purpose is to devalue slaves in this transaction!

On this basis, he would use the resources at hand to add an additional price.

In this way, he can not only reduce the loss of resources at hand, but also severely suppress Peter!

This is essentially the beginning of a vicious competition mode.

Zhou Xu had guessed some of Fisher's little plan, but he didn't care.

Whether it is earning resources or earning labor, each has its own advantages.

Fisher will only make more money if he engages in vicious competition with Peter, so there is nothing for him to worry about.

After sending these two big enemies away one after another, Zhou Xu could finally rest.

In the next few days, Saint Laurent I, the representative of the Saint Laurent Empire, and King Baron, the representative of Copperforge, arrived at the border of the Smith Republic one after another.

After all representatives from all parties arrived, this so-called United Nations conference officially began soon.

The Smith Republic provided the meeting venue.

The whole environment is still very simple. To put it simply, it is a spacious enough room and a large round table that can accommodate everyone.

After everyone was seated, Narga, the representative of the organizer who provided the venue, stood up nervously.

He is responsible for presiding over the meeting.

"Well, as the host of this meeting, I hereby formally declare that the first United Nations meeting is now officially inaugurated!"
