I’ll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan! Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Trickery!

The three of looked at Lorne, ready to absorb more information.

If they could really develop into an extremely dense population, easily pulling out tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of strong men, then they would not have to worry about not being strong.

The emperor could wave his hand and form an army of more than 100,000 people easily. Other than the Lolan Empire, they would be able to fight wherever they wanted.

Just thinking about it made them happy.

The three envoys immediately felt a little dizzy.

They could be considered smart people, but the reason why they were convinced by Lorne was because Lorne’s suggestions were pretty reasonable.

Lorne did not say anything that was fake from the beginning to the end. It was all true.

Being in such an ancient dynasty, having a high-density population was the most important thing for growth. Whoever had the most population would obviously live on further.

Knowledge, culture, technology, and the political system of the imperial court were indeed not that important in the face of population.

Although they were not reduced to such an exaggerated level, their importance was still considered an important factor.

Therefore, in the ears of the three Fusang envoys, there was indeed a lot of truth and meaning in what he said.

If this template was applied to them, it really made sense, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.

However, the only thing that the three envoys had overlooked was that Lorne had deliberately concealed the inherent limitations of the development of the population in addition to the whole truth.

Therefore, the three envoys only saw the possibility, but they did not expect that the so-called possibility was just filled with nonsense and empty promises.

The three emissaries could not help but gather together and whisper their plans to each other for a while.

The ambassador turned his head around and rubbed his hands excitedly.

With a face full of expectation and respect, he said, “Sir, thank you for pointing out a path for us and pointing out the things we should learn.

“We now understand that the emperor and those ministers are still biased in some areas and did not really grasp the point.

“It’s a pity that I don’t have talent like you. Otherwise, I would have already understood what to do and wouldn’t be at a loss like now.”

Lorne waved his hand casually and said humbly, “You flatter me. How can I be considered a peerless talent?

“The Lolan Empire citizens are like me, they might even be more powerful than me. I’m just a humble citizen.”

Despite what he said, Inagumi still had a sincere and respectful look on his face.

The people of the Lolan Empire had come into contact with the imperial court, and those high officials also had some understanding of how to grow their empire.

However, in their eyes, there were really not many people who were as powerful as this tiny tavern owner in front of them. The King of the Lolan Empire could not possibly be at this level.

“No matter what, you have helped us a great deal. We now understand where our priorities lie, what is the most urgent matter at the moment, and what should be put aside.”

Lorne poured a glass of wine for the three envoys and then filled it up for himself.

“Didn’t you say that we are all friends? Then let me give you some advice so that you don’t take any detours. It’ll be a helpful guide.”

The three envoys quickly picked up their glasses and said with touched faces, “It’s great to have a friend like you, thank you!”

After drinking the wine in their glasses, Inagumi sorted out his thoughts and asked expectantly.

“Since the development of population is the root of your prosperity, what method should we use to rapidly expand our population?”

Lorne quietly waved at the three people. After the three of them put their ears close to him, he whispered, “Don’t go back to the posthouse later. I’ll take you to a place to understand it better.

“This is the shortcut I found. It’s a discovery that can rapidly expand the population. I wouldn’t tell any of you if you weren’t my friends!”

The three of them were immediately overwhelmed by the favor, except that there were no tears in their eyes.

“Sir Lorne, you’re really too good to us. I really don’t know how to repay you!”

With that, the three of them took out a piece of irregular-shaped gold from their pocket.

“We’re all friends. It might be too much for me to do this at a time like this, but other than this, I really don’t know how to express our gratitude.

“The gift isn’t much, but please accept it. We won’t take it back!”

When Lorne saw that the three of them had casually fished out a piece of gold, he was already on the verge of cursing.

They were really f*cking rich!

Gold was such a rare thing that not many people used it on a daily basis.

Even buying a restaurant or a manor, such a big business, was settled with copper coins. No one would bring out two boxes of gold because they really could not do it.

Lorne secretly hoped that their gratitude would soon be bigger when the time came.

If it was possible, he might as well fill up the entire tavern with their gratitude.

For such a large sum of money, even a veteran would call him an expert.

However, even though he was complaining in his heart, he still had to put on a show.

Lorne immediately put on an indifferent expression and pretended to casually glance at the piece of gold.

“I say, all of us are friends, yet you insist on pulling such tricks.

“But since you have already taken it out, if I don’t accept it, it will make me look bad.

“Then I will accept this gold as a witness to our friendship.”

As he spoke, Lorne took the gold with a speed that seemed slow, but was actually very fast. He then put it into his bag.

The three Fusang envoys did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, they secretly praised the noble character of Lorne.

At the same time, they were also a little happy. Lorne had received the gold that they had given out, which meant that they would be on the same side in the future.

Then, the three Fusang envoys sat down in the tavern. As they drank, they chatted about the local customs, culture, and natural attractions of Fusang.

From time to time, Lorne would bring out all sorts of strange and remote knowledge to scare the three of them.

When the sun began to set, the three envoys had completely become Lorne’s loyal fans. They were full of admiration for Lorne.
