I’ll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan! Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Epiphany!

He had unexpectedly gained more than he had imagined. Allen could not help but become more excited, and his interest in wanting to know more greatly increased.

After silently memorizing some of the detailed information he had just received, Allen continued to expand on the topic.

Since he was already here, he had to seize the opportunity to ask some of the key questions so that he could use them as a reference and slowly change other things in the future.

After stretching his neck, an idea flashed through Allen’s mind, and he immediately thought of another key question. “Lorne, as far as I know, in the Ministry of War, there’s the Department of War, the Department of Treasury, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Staff.

“I have nothing to say for the rest, except the Department of Transportation.

“Although I, the Lolan Empire, have a lot of horses, they’re only used to pull goods and carriages. On the contrary, there seem to be very few warhorses.

“How do you think we can properly solve the problem of the extreme lack of war horses?”

Lorne looked at him speechlessly.

“Why do you care about the problem of war horses? Could it be that the Ministry of War has asked you to help them raise war horses?”

Allen immediately waved his hand awkwardly.

“How is that possible? The war horses of the Ministry of War are different from the ones we usually use, and the ones that pull carriages are different. They can’t be compared at all.

“War horses that can be used on the battlefield don’t need ordinary merchants like us to raise them. Even if I wanted to take on this business, it would be impossible for someone like me to train them.

Lorne spread his hands.

“If that’s the case, then why are you still worrying about this? The palace naturally knows the source of the war horses. It’s really unnecessary for a small merchant like you to worry so much.”

Allen scratched his head.

“I’m just curious about it. After all, according to your analysis, in one or two years at most, we will be at war with the Bora Kingdom. It won’t work without having high-quality war horses as transport.

“Therefore, I have some concerns. What kind of arrangements will the imperial court make for this? Why don’t you explain it to me?”

Lorne sighed and tapped his knuckles on the table for a while.

“I say, you guys are really a bunch of weirdos. With Charles as the leader, you’ve been corrupted by his inquisitive mind.

“You’re clearly a bunch of merchants. In your free time, you don’t talk about business or romantic affairs. You just fiddle with the affairs of the imperial court all day long.

“The imperial court didn’t invite you to be officials. It’s simply a waste of talent being this curious.”

Lorne could not help but complain outwardly.

These guys all liked to discuss current affairs. One or two of them liked to analyze and discuss the various policies and situations of the imperial court.

This kind of character was really uncommon in ancient times. Of course, it could not be said so absolutely. There were always some people who liked to sit in teahouses and taverns and talk about everything.

After all, the Lolan Empire was not so strict about freedom of speech. It was a relaxed environment.

Therefore, it was quite common to have a group of businessmen who had nothing to do to be interested in other things.

Therefore, Lorne, who was used to the personality of his group of friends, saw that Allen was constantly scratching his head, and his face was full of embarrassment.

He could only let out a long sigh, then leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs.

“Alright, alright. I guess I’ll tell you about the eight-trigram party, and talk about the imperial court’s war horses.”

Although Allen did not understand what the eight-trigrams party meant, he still nodded excitedly and anticipated Lorne’s next words.

Lorne only raised one finger this time.

“Training war horses and training ordinary horses are completely different in nature. Ordinary horses have stronger endurance and can withstand hard work.

“But they are very unsuitable for running back and forth on the battlefield. We have to train warhorses with strong breeds that have tall and strong physiques.

“And the real key factor in training war horses is money and horse breeding.

“Based on my current situation, I’m not short of money. At the very least, if the imperial court wants to cultivate war horses, this money to get them is definitely available.

“The real difficulty lies in horse breeding. This is the key to the imperial court’s plan to cultivate war horses.”

After hearing this, Allen could not help but nod. In fact, this had been a recurring issue in Lolan. The imperial court did not lack money now, but they did not know how to breed the best horses.

Not to mention Allen, the head of the Ministry of War, who was concerned about this issue, even King Kyle often had a headache because of this.

Seeing that Allen was listening attentively, Lorne changed his posture and continued.

“If you want to obtain quality horses, you can either buy them, exchange them, or rob them!

“I don’t need to explain this method to you. Among the two princes of the Bora Kingdom in the north, Prince Taylor has his heart set on Lolan.

“Let the imperial court contact him and secretly purchase a batch of good horse breeds from him. I don’t think it’s difficult to do so.

“If we’re talking about an exchange, it has something to do with the weapons trade I just mentioned. Sell the weapons to those small countries, but don’t ask for money. Ask for their good horse breeds.

“For example, in Xinluo, this country has a relatively strong white horse. If we use it for breeding, it will definitely give birth to war horses that inherit the strong and sturdy characteristics.”

Allen was instantly stunned.

What? There was actually a fine war horse breed there. He really did not know about this.

In the minds of the civil and military officials of the imperial court and even King Kyle, the Liaodong territory that was occupied was nothing more than a group of desperate citizens.

Ambition was high, but they were also quite poor. He did not expect them to have a white horse that was worthy of Lorne’s praise.

This was incredible. This crucial information had to be recorded quickly. It seemed that trading with Xinluo was an indispensable part of it.

After recording these two points, Allehurriedly asked, “What about the robbery

aspect?”

Lorne put down his leg and downed the wine in the glass on the table in one gulp.

“It literally means that whoever has a good horse breed will be robbed!

“The Bora people in the north are actually a very good target practice. After all, Prince Tully is under Prince Noel’s control.

“Before I, Lolan, initiated a war with the Bora Kingdom, he could only secretly sell good horse breeds to us on a small scale.

“So, we can be straightforward and directly carry out the method of plundering. We can use the small-scale army we have to invade the grassland every now and then and plunder their horses without starting a war.

“We can even be more resolute and plunder the horses of the Spartan Kingdom. Although they live on the plateau, they actually have a lot of high-quality horses.”
