The invisible reputation accumulated in the past two years, coupled with the many speech guidance and disguise and momentum of the smart brain during negotiations, Jiang Yan created the vest: the "Dream Lord" that is "mysterious and unpredictable, and cannot be easily offended",

It has already left some impressions in the mind of the emperor of the empire.

At least, he had successfully made the emperor decide in his heart that he would never easily become an enemy without being fully confident and exploring the background of the "Dream Lord".

Then he also showed his own advantages, allowing the emperor to understand that if he cooperated with the "Dream Lord", the empire could gain great benefits.

This benefit is not only to win over an ally to share the threat from the power of the church that regards the empire as a thorn in his side, but also to improve the strength of his empire itself!

Therefore, the emperor basically had no idea of ​​refusing Jiang Yan's intention to cooperate.

But this detail still needs to be discussed carefully.

Jiang Yan listed many transaction items in the "Proposal", but the emperor's most concerned thing was indeed the bloodline of the "Dragon Descent".

After calming down his inner ups and downs, he asked Zhizhu: "According to your opinion, if you want to obtain the transplant and strengthening of the fourth-level blood power, can you only trade with the same level of blood power?"

"It is not necessary to specify the power of blood. If you have other precious things that can also reach the level 4 evaluation, you can try to trade them, whether it is knowledge, technology, secret treasures, or other rare things.

.』

The emperor was very moved, and other things were still a little difficult to deal with for a while, but if he was a "dragon descendant" bloodline who could be called a fourth-level rank, the empire, including him, the emperor, among the two recent generations,

There was no one else except him. But if the hidden seniors and elders were included, the situation would be different.

At least as far as Emperor Will knows, his grandfather who lived in the sect and nursing home had very high bloodlines of dragons like him.

According to the Intelligent Brain, if he directly exchanges bloodlines with the same level, he will not actually lose anything, and he will be able to increase the inheritance seed of a high-level dragon descendant bloodline with great potential. Compared with other secret treasures at the same level

To exchange, it seems to be much more cost-effective.

Of course, the specific details and whether there is really no risk is needed, and further consideration is needed. This matter must not be believed in the one-sided words of the smart brain!

Thinking of this, the emperor made a secret decision: 'It seems that I need to find some time to visit my ancestors.'

Although Will Emerald Oduin was the emperor of the empire in the sixteenth generation, the throne was actually limited to the present. Will did have absolute authority over the people under his rule, but in

Faced with those senior elders who are extremely powerful and have already escaped from the world and practiced in seclusion, even if he is in the throne, he cannot command the other party at will.

Especially for this kind of transaction that may pose certain risks and concerns the root of his own bloodline, even if Emperor Will is moved by himself, he will never be able to make decisions without authorization. He must first seek the opinions of the elders of the Zong.

Of course, if Will himself was willing to take the risk of experimenting with the "Dream Lord" with his own bloodline, it would be less troublesome. But obviously, as the emperor, he would not be able to take risks.

Fortunately, Will did not have the idea of ​​trying it himself, because his blood power had been copied to the complete software data by Jiang Yan just now, and for Jiang Yan there was no value that could serve as a bargaining chip.

The fourth-level blood power can only be held first. Emperor Will looked through the plan and carefully looked at the transaction plan for the "Dragonborn". He frowned and asked, "

Dragonborn "The transplant and strengthen the power of blood. In addition to opening up to Yu's empire, are you planning to trade it to other forces?"

"At present, we will not reject any sincere collaborator except those of the Holy Light Church."

The answer from Zhiwang immediately made Emperor Will's face turn a little gloomy.

Because the meaning in the words of the Intelligent Brain has shown that as long as the bargaining chips are right, even the Kingdom of Rheinz, which has a feud with the empire, can also obtain the same advanced "dragon descendant" bloodline from them through trading?

You know, when the Rhines Kingdom was founded, it was split from the original territory of the Duragon Empire! The royal family of the kingdom was actually the descendant of a grand duke of the empire whose power and prestige were almost comparable to that of the royal family!

The inheritance of several grand dukes in the empire was an ancient aristocrat who had existed since the founding period of the empire, which was the same as that of the Dulagan royal family.

At that time, the ancestors of various families, including the Oduin lineage, actually had some blood relationships with each other, but because the strength of the Oduin lineage was the strongest at that time, it was

He sat on the throne of the royal family when he established the Duragon Empire.

Therefore, the Rhines royal family actually has the inheritance of the blood power of the "Dragonborn" that is the same as the empire. However, because of some changes that have been buried in history, the "Dragonbornborn" of the Rhines royal family

The power has declined, unlike the two remaining grand dukes in the empire who barely retain a certain climate, and not like the Oduin clan, who still barely maintains the bloodline of a higher dragon descendant like Emperor Will.

But if the Rhines clan cooperates with the Dream Lord, the situation may change, for example, to retrieve the power of their originally lost bloodline!

Emperor Will worked hard to govern, but he still wanted to recover the Kingdom of Rheinz in his generation, so he naturally didn't want to increase the difficulty for himself.

So Emperor Will asked Zhizhu directly: "I think that in this regard, we should have a good talk."

After understanding what he meant, the Intelligent Bottom was silent for a moment, and then replied: "We can agree to the conditions in this regard. During this time, set the Blood Force trading items above the level three to only be correct.

The empire is open, but this is limited to the bloodline of the "Dragonborn".

After Emperor Will showed his joy, Zhizhu suddenly asked: "But as a reward for this condition, the empire must also make corresponding concessions."

"Yu can understand." Emperor Will nodded. Then he frowned slightly and asked, "Is the restriction only level three or above?"

"Yes, we will also list the second-level "Dragonborn" bloodline power as a public sale, and will be open to other partners. We can hand over exclusive trading rights to the third-level and above "Dragonborn" bloodline power to

Empire, this is already very sincere. Don’t you think so?”

"Forget it..." Seeing that Zhizhu didn't intend to give in, Emperor Will was silent for a moment, but gave up the idea of ​​fighting for more.

If it is just the power of the second-level bloodline, according to the description, the ultimate growth potential is only at the military level, and the threat it can bring is not too great.

『In addition, if it is a transaction involving the power of the "Dragonborn" bloodline, we can also give the empire certain preferential privileges."

"Oh? What do you mean specifically?" The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"For example, when the Empire buys the blood power of "Dragonborn" for a group of people in the official name, it can enjoy a certain discount price."

"Is that so? This is good news." Emperor Will's eyes lit up and a smile appeared.

When he learned that the "Dream Lord" planned to open up the power of blood to the outside world on a large scale, the emperor already had a plan in his mind: through transactions with the other party, he would arm himself several powers of blood to a large scale.

The elite troops formed by the inheritors can expand the army's backbone strength.

I believe that senior executives in other countries will have similar ideas after seeing the cooperation conditions of "Dream Lord"? This is equivalent to a military competition, so the advantage that the empire can bring is

Very big.

After smiling, Emperor Will's face turned apart and asked, "So, since such preferential conditions are given, there must be corresponding requirements, right?"

After saying that, he glanced at the plan in his hand.

Only the benefits given by the "Dream Lord" party is written here, but there is no requirement that the other party wants. I think it is planned to make a decision on the spot.

"Yes." The intelligent soul light ball flashed: "First of all, we hope you recognize the legality of the "Dream Church" within the empire."

"Church?" Emperor Will couldn't help but frown when he heard this religious term. Because of the Church of Holy Light, he did not have much favoritism for similar religious organizations.

After all, religious organizations that put the supreme power first often have irreconcilable contradictions with feudal systems that put the supreme power first.

Listening to the words of the Intellectual Brain, the so-called "Dream Church" is obviously a religious organization serving the "Dream Lord".

As a qualified ruler, Emperor Will does not want a god who is ignorant of the truth to ride high above his head.

『Please rest assured.』The intelligent brain obviously saw Emperor Will's concerns and quickly explained in a plain manner: 『Our "Dream Church" can make a guarantee that it will not participate in the politics of the empire in any form.

During military operations, they will also act in accordance with the laws of the empire.

In other words, even if the church is established and developed, will the "Dream Lord" not interfere in any official affairs of the empire?

Emperor Will's face calmed down a little. He thought for a while, stared at Zhizhu seriously and asked, "If you say that, Yu can consider it, but for church affairs, Yu has several conditions.

You must agree.”

"Please say it."

"First of all, the relevant people of the church, whether ordinary people or upper-class pope, must not have any political privileges under the rule of Yu's empire. If anyone violates the law of the empire, even if he is an insider of the church, he will only have to do so.

In the territory of the empire, one must accept the punishment of the imperial criminal law. The church has no legal autonomy! Moreover, those with internal identities are no longer allowed to participate in the political and military-related industries of the empire!” The emperor said in a unquestionable tone.

.

Two or three seconds later, the Zhizhu replied: "Yes."

Once this condition is agreed, it will almost deprive all believers of the "Dream Church" of the right to interfere in the official affairs of the empire.

However, Jiang Yan didn't care about these things, so the conditions were agreed very simply.

Seeing this, Emperor Will nodded slightly and then continued to put forward conditions: "The 'Dream Church' shall not carry out responsibilities for property fundraising activities in any name."

"No matter which town, even in rural areas, missionaries need to obtain the official permission of the Empire before they can conduct missionary activities within the territory of the Empire! And all the actions and speeches of missionaries during missionary preaching, local The governing officers have the right to supervise.”

"The nature of the church will be regarded as equivalent to doing business. It must pay related taxes to the empire regularly according to the size of the church facilities and the number of believers in the number of believers! Of course, in this regard, I allow the church to establish business in its own name. Activities to earn life needs, and will lower the tax on the church to a suitable value lower than that of the general chamber of commerce. For specific details, you can send a representative to discuss with Yu’s tax officer later.”

...

In this way, the emperor put forward conditions one by one. These conditions did not seem to be excessive, but they were basically all set to limit the threat of religious organizations such as the "Dream Church" to the rule of royal power.

Especially the condition that the church is regarded as equivalent to the nature of the business and must pay taxes to the empire regularly, is simply a strategy that will seriously weaken the sanctity of religion.

As long as the act of paying taxes exists, it will directly show from a political stand that the church is subject to the rule and jurisdiction of the royal power and will no longer have any sacredness that is transcendent beyond the secular realm!

In addition, through the means of paying taxes voluntarily, certain restrictions have been placed on the scale of the church. If you treat it as an industry, the larger the scale, the more taxes you need to pay. !

From the perspective of the ruler, what is most afraid of is that religious organizations develop into a cancerous organization that parasitizes people and sucks blood and does not produce, which makes the rulers hate them very much. And the theory proposed by the emperor The religious tax system determined by the number of people and the size of the industry, and restricting its "illegal fundraising" behavior, can greatly avoid such bad consequences.
