Chapter 92: Which side are you on?

After hearing this, Sophia leaned back in her chair, her fingers tangled around her hair, her mouth curled up, and she was smiling.

"My dear brother-in-law, you really gave me a big surprise. Why didn't you tell me such important information earlier?"

Ethan had no idea that this was considered intelligence. He just wanted to find out about the other party's plan at the time.

And these things sounded so insignificant.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted the two men to surrender, Ethan wouldn't have cared about this base at all.

Of course, it was not easy for Ethan to explain this. He couldn't show that he was insensitive to intelligence in front of Sophia.

So, he smiled awkwardly: "It is precisely because they revealed the base to me that I think they were indeed turned against me.

Look, I'm reporting to you! Ha, ha, ha ha..."

Sophia saw through Ethan's lie at a glance, but she was not going to expose it, and she was even more curious.

"My dear brother-in-law, I really admire you sometimes.

So, what kind of personality charm do you have that allows others to tell you everything without reservation?"

"Haha!" Ethan didn't want to tell Sophia about his fraud with the sword master's sword, so he started to be careless: "Maybe it's because I'm handsome!

You know, handsome people usually don't have bad luck!"

"Haha!" Sophia covered her mouth and laughed: "If this is true, then I hope you are more handsome, maybe I can find out all the information I want by looking at you in the future.

Okay, that's enough digression.

Please think about it carefully, he What else did they say? "

Ethan thought about the details again and said, "They said that the information about me came from the North.

This is related to another thing.

Before they took action, someone in the North seemed to want to get rid of me and invited me to a small island for vacation in the name of the princess.

So, I think the Duke may not have solved the internal problems of the North.

And the person who wants to get rid of me and the person who spread the news are probably the same person. "

After listening, Sophia thought for a while and shook her head: "I don't think so.

Maybe the Duke has not solved the internal problems of the North.

But the person who wants to get rid of you is the same person as the one who spread the news. The people are definitely not the same person. "

"Why are you so sure?"

"Just look at the size of the attacking team." Sophia smiled and said: "More than a hundred regular troops look intimidating, but in front of a master swordsman, they are indeed not good enough.

Even if, as you said, they are equipped with crossbows and have a strict attack plan, it is still the same.

Judging from this number of people and their strength, it is basically impossible to kill you.

Therefore, it can be inferred that the main purpose of their action this time is to destroy the station.

But if it is just to destroy the station, there is no need for so many people.

Send a few Wouldn't it be easier for a flexible guy to throw a fire?

The reason for this kind of incongruous attack is that they want to try to kill you and destroy the base, and they want to take a little bit of both, but they can't do both well.

From this mentality, it can be seen that they don't need to send you away, and they don't know that someone wants to send you away.

And the person who wants to send you away may be a coincidence, or he may be protecting you.

He may have heard the news of some attacks, but he doesn't know the other party's methods, and because you are handsome, he is afraid that you will die in the attack, so he borrows a name to protect you! "

Hearing Sofia's ridicule, Ethan smiled bitterly.

"I just said he was handsome, do you have to tease me like that?"

"I just analyzed the situation for you, do you have to react so strongly?" Sophia countered: "Okay, since you don't like it, let's not talk about it.

Remember the last assessment?

Now that so many days have passed, you should give me an answer."

After hearing the assessment, Ethan straightened his eyes and said proudly: "I figured it out.

The Duke wants to raise prices because he has the right to mint coins and gold mines, and he is not short of money at all.

He wants to attract various chambers of commerce to transport materials to the North by raising prices in the North, thereby establishing multiple material channels.

And our Lawson family keeps stabilizing prices to prevent others from entering.

After all, others don't have ports in the North like us.

Whether they go Whether it is land transportation or sea transportation, tolls must be paid.

This means that their costs are destined to be higher than ours, and much higher.

At the same time, they have to face various "bandits".

If they take such a big risk and the profit does not meet their expectations, then they will definitely not want to enter the market.

For the Duke, even if he forcibly raises the price, it will not help, because it is not sustainable and is not in the interests of the people in the North.

After all, the people in the North always have to live, and they cannot survive with too high prices.

For us, although this will lose some profits in the early stage, in the long run, the business will definitely be more sustainable and profitable.

Am I right? "

Sophia smiled with satisfaction: "That's right.

So, you are the Duke, what will you do next?"

"Uh!" Ethan had never thought about this question and was a little confused for a while.

Sophia did not embarrass Ethan, and said earnestly: "Think about the problem more comprehensively. Since you know what others think, you should think one step further.

For example, if I were the Duke, I would wait.

Wait for the Lawson family to stabilize the territory in the north and provide as much shelter as possible.

Once our family's pilot is successful, the Duke will issue more development orders to allow others to participate.

So, if I am not mistaken.

When you defend the territory, it means that many other forces' territories will soon appear around our territory.

Then the question is, how should we deal with it?"

Ethan heard the questions one after another, and his head was about to split: "It turns out that I can't defend this place successfully, and I can't fail, right?"

"You can say that!" Sophia smiled: "So I hope that after the spring of next year, you can set fire to the station yourself and leave a place that can be lived. Just put them in a place with people.

Of course, this is only temporary.

I am currently discussing cooperation with other families.

As long as they agree to form an offensive and defensive alliance with us, you don't have to burn it anymore.

At that time, I will let the Duke understand that the more agents, the better.

He wants to raise prices, we will play with him.

By then, he will not be able to suppress it even if he wants to.

Let him spoil these people's appetites, and he will understand how trustworthy our Lawson family is. "

Ethan smiled awkwardly: "Hearing you say that, why do I feel that the Duke's approach is right."

"Right?" Sophia was a little angry, and her brows were twisted: "Our family has paid so much for the Northland, and my genius cousin died in the Northland, but this can't be exchanged for a franchise.

Now that the Northland's supplies have just been guaranteed to a certain extent, the Duke wants to kick us away, and you actually told me that it's right?

My dear brother-in-law, which side are you on? "
