Chapter 471: Deception

Earl Jeffreys was at the forefront, with sharp eyes, staring directly at the minister of the Lionheart Kingdom who was accusing him.

That's right, I am greedy, lustful, and like luxury.

But... I am the Earl of Daxia, a minister of His Majesty the Emperor, who is glorious in all directions. How can you blame me?

If I am wrong, His Majesty can also rebuke me.

"Shut up, I am here today, let's see if you dare to touch a hair of mine.

I... Earl of Daxia, except for His Majesty, who dares to ask me to kneel down and worship, first ask Daxia's fleet for consent."

The noisy hall was quiet for a few seconds. Yes... The huge fleet of Daxia Empire is wandering along the coast.

They don't care about the colonies, but this is the homeland. What if...

Only when the knife falls on themselves will they know how painful it is, and only when the cannon explodes in their homeland will they know how to be afraid.

Earl Jeffreys was angry, and the whole hall was shocked.

Because he is the Earl of Daxia, the envoy of the empire.

Daxia Empire... has this strength.

If the two countries really go to war, there are really few people who can take the responsibility.

Immediately, Prince Charlie stood up, as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Count, why are you angry?

The people below are ignorant and speak rudely, please don't argue with them, the envoys of the great country."

"Please take a seat, come... take a seat for the envoy of Daxia."

Earl Jeffreys looked at the scene in front of him, routine, all routine.

It's nothing more than a trick of pretending to be real. If you are a little weak, you will have to eat this loss.

The key is that personal honor and disgrace don't matter, but the diplomacy of the two countries will be dragged down in the future.

But after this incident, the next thing is harmony.

The Lionheart Queen rarely speaks, but Prince Charlie jumps up and down, busy and happy.

For Daxia, the Lionheart Kingdom is full of curiosity.

Relying on the exchanges between the people, all you get are a few words, and it is difficult to get a glimpse of the real face.

But it's different here with Earl Jeffreys. You can ask directly about many political ecosystems, customs and systems.

Earl Jeffreys said everything he could say, and his words were full of pride.

"Our country has 30 million people and a million troops.

There are dozens of warships with a secret number of 10,000 or more.

Your Majesty is wise and brave, and the knights of the North are unstoppable.

The land is beautiful and the university is prosperous.

..."

Let's not talk about whether it is bragging or not. At least what everyone can see is the super battleships parked in the port of the Lionheart Kingdom, which is the advanced technology of the Great Xia Empire.

Don't look at Prince Charlie's opening his mouth to catch up with Great Xia in 15 years, but will Great Xia stand there and wait for you to catch up?

What's more... I always feel that there is a problem with the IQ of my scholars. With the same information, the final products are very different.

Nowadays, many steam machines in the Lionheart Kingdom have traveled thousands of miles, and many are disassembled second-hand goods.

These things, everyone doesn't say, but they know them in their hearts.

The queen herself is also depressed and curious.

After listening to the description of the Daxia envoy, she wanted to go and see it herself.

Suddenly, the Queen of Lionheart interrupted and said, "The Daxia Empire is indeed the light of the world. I wonder if scholars can be sent to exchange?"

The court looked expectantly at Earl Jeffreys.

The latter laughed secretly. Sure enough, these guys had bad intentions.

What is exchange? They just want to steal the skills.

But Daxia is not afraid of you coming to steal the skills.

I'm just afraid that you will lose more than you gain.

Immediately, the Earl said righteously, "Of course, our Daxia Empire is open and tolerant, and has the heart to lead the world to prosperity.

We welcome scholars from your country to exchange. If Your Highness is interested, you can even go back with me to see our Daxia."

Learn technology? I'll brainwash you first.

The air of freedom is so good. When you have enough breath, you can bring the Lionheart Kingdom into the Daxia Empire.

The Earl smiled and said that he could take care of as many people as he could. He was not afraid of you coming, but he was afraid of you not coming.

But obviously brainwashing was not popular, otherwise no one would believe it.

So, Prince Charlie believed it.

The key is that the Great Xia Empire has a criminal record. How much technical information of the steam revolution was stolen from Great Xia, and the Lionheart Kingdom has not yet figured it out.

At that moment, Prince Charlie looked at Earl Jeffreys as if he was a fool.

"It is indeed the style of a great country. I admire you, Your Majesty... Although our Lionheart Kingdom is a little poor, we must not lag behind in learning knowledge. We must send more months!"

The Lionheart Queen was also surprised. She didn't expect it to be true after she mentioned it casually.

"Okay, all expenses will be paid from the royal treasury. We must send more people to the Great Xia Empire to learn the style of a great country."

No, how can we let the royal family pay? Then who will be responsible for the stolen... technology?

The noble ministers know the virtues of the royal family. If they really let them eat it, they will not spit it out.

"Your Majesty, I can also contribute. Money... Sell some of my ancestral property, I'll pay."

"No, you are the only one who has ancestral property? My family is rich, I'll pay."

Seeing the benefits, all the nobles rushed to it, fearing that they would fall behind.

The Lionheart Queen was trembling with anger. Before, I asked you to pay for disaster relief, but you all cried poor. Now you all have money?

Earl Jeffreys looked at the group of people rushing to it, as if he was looking at leeks in the field.

It's really rare to bring your own dry food to accept brainwashing.

So, this new scam is hard to guard against. No matter how smart you are, you will fall into it once you are greedy.

After arguing for a long time, the queen suppressed it herself and studied it slowly in private.

Next, it was a banquet to welcome the Daxia delegation.

Because they had something to ask for, the nobles were very enthusiastic and wanted to worship Earl Jeffreys.

As long as they could get benefits, what did it matter if they said some good things?

The diplomatic journey was long and full of risks. When they really arrived at the place, they were safe.

Earl Jeffreys participated in the court meetings of the Lionheart Kingdom many times and even saw the messy parliament.

He was a little curious at first.

But although it was new, it was just a noble Senate with a new skin.

The people were still the same people, but they changed their skin. They changed from nobles to members of parliament and became elected members of parliament.

Then they sat in the house, bringing up irrelevant proposals and continued to fight for power and profit.

In fact, the common people of the Lionheart Kingdom probably didn't even recognize the names of the parliamentarians, and then they were represented.

Seeing through the essence, there was no interest.

Earl Jeffreys quietly wrote down everything he could see about the Lionheart Kingdom, and stayed for three months before finally returning with the delegation.

This time, he also brought more than 200 scholars, nobles, and envoys from the Lionheart Kingdom to the Great Xia Empire.
