Chapter 1329: Saving the Luolin Empire
February 20, 298th year of the Britannia Empire.
Orleans, Rollin Empire.
The air was filled with dust and decadence.
There was no vitality that a big city should have.
Outside a tavern in the city, two dusty young men were sitting side by side on the ground, pouring low-quality beer into their mouths while chatting casually.
Both of them were wandering bards. Today was the first time they met each other. Because they all did the same job, they had a lot of common topics and chatted unconsciously.
"Ah..."
After the taller poet poured a sip of low-quality beer into his mouth, he sighed.
"Life has been getting harder and harder recently..."
As soon as the tall poet finished speaking, the shorter poet sitting next to him echoed:
"Yes. Life is getting harder and harder for the people of Rolin. They can barely support themselves now, so where do they get the extra money to reward us..."
"Alas..." The tall poet sighed again, "The Rolin Empire is getting worse and worse now..."
"The national strength has been weakening."
"Last year, a rebellion of the three dukes broke out."
"The future of the Rolin Empire... Alas..."
Last winter, a large-scale civil strife broke out in the Rolin Empire.
Grand Duke Capet, Grand Duke Robert, Grand Duke Nemours - these three grand dukes raised their own private troops last winter due to disputes over their territories and started a melee.
The scale of this civil war gradually expanded and eventually turned into a melee among 15 vassals.
It was not until the central government sent out a large army to mediate that the civil strife gradually subsided.
Although the participants in this civil war were 15 vassals, the cause of the outbreak of this civil war was still due to the fiefdom disputes between Grand Duke Capet, Grand Duke Robert, and Grand Duke Nemours.
Therefore, people called last year's civil strife the "Three Dukes' Rebellion".
Although the duration of this "Three Dukes' Rebellion" was very short, only a month, it brought great damage to the Rolin Empire.
It made the Rolin Empire, which was already weak, even worse.
After the tall poet sighed, the short poet said in a deep voice:
"There is no future in the Rolin Empire. I have decided - I will go to the Britannia Empire next."
"The Britannia Empire is now the richest place in the entire continent, and I can speak Britannia."
"So if I go to the Britannia Empire, I should be able to make more money."
"That's great..." the tall poet said with envy, "You can speak Britannia."
"If I can speak Britannia, I also want to go to the Britannia Empire."
After that, the tall poet poured another sip of wine into his mouth.
Then he continued:
"That Camille Yang is really amazing... After the Britannia Empire's Emperor Elsa appointed her as the prime minister, the national strength of the Britannia Empire has risen rapidly in the past two years."
"The Britannia Empire is now a veritable superpower in the entire continent."
"Yes."
The short poet echoed.
"It is said that Kamil was born in the Holy Xilan Empire."
"The Xilan people from the Holy Xilan Empire came to the Britannia Empire and helped the Britannia Empire rise to become a superpower - such a drama is simply the best subject for compiling poems and scripts."
"Alas..." The tall poet sighed, "I just want to learn Britannia quickly and then go to the Britannia Empire to develop."
"Given the current state of the Luolin Empire, I would not be surprised if you told me that it would be destroyed in a few years."
Speaking of this, the tall poet paused.
As if he remembered something.
"Hey."
The tall poet suddenly asked the short poet next to him.
"Do you remember the rumors that have been circulating in the Luolin Empire for several years?"
"What rumors?" The short poet asked back.
"The Luolin Empire will be destroyed by a woman and then saved by another woman." The tall poet said seriously, word by word.
"The Rollin Empire is now showing signs of imminent destruction."
"What do you think - is this rumor true?"
"When this country is about to be destroyed, a woman appears to save it..."
"Who knows."
The short poet shrugged and smiled bitterly:
"I don't really believe this rumor."
"After all, rumors are just rumors, without any basis."
"And this rumor is ridiculous."
"How can a woman save a country on her own?"
...
...
Rollin Empire, Dukedom of Burgundy, Duke's Mansion.
The current Duke of Burgundy - Matilda Tao Weijies is playing with the tableware made of pure gold in her hand.
Matilda, just turned 28.
Her hobby is collecting all kinds of gold and shiny things.
So she likes gold very much.
After playing with the gold tableware in her hand carefully, Matilda put down the tableware in her hand with satisfaction.
Then he said to the butler behind him:
"This tableware is really well made. The craftsman who made it should be rewarded handsomely."
"Yes."
The butler bowed and responded respectfully.
After silently memorizing Matilda's new order, the butler reported to Matilda:
"Sir, the Britannia Empire has a new order again. This time they want to exchange gold with us for iron ore."
"Oh?"
As soon as the butler finished speaking, Matilda's eyes lit up.
"The Britannia Empire wants to exchange gold with us again?"
In the past two years, the Britannia Empire has been trading frequently with the Rolling Empire.
In the past two years, the Britannia Empire's gold seemed to be free, and it used gold to exchange various items with the Rolling Empire.
Among them, the main goods traded were iron ore, animal power, food and grass, etc.
Not only did they trade with the central government of the Rolling Empire, they also traded with all the vassals of the Rolling Empire.
Matilda loved gold the most.
Whenever the Britannia Empire sent a new order, Matilda would often take the order immediately and buy all the gold that could be bought from the Britannia Empire.
After buying the gold from the Britannia Empire, Matilda would basically use the gold to make various things.
In order to satisfy her hobby, Matilda raised a group of blacksmiths who are good at making gold products.
The set of gold tableware that Matilda played with just now was made of the gold that was just exchanged from the Britannia Empire not long ago.
As for where the gold of the Britannia Empire came from, where the Britannia Empire got so much gold - Matilda never cared.
She only cared about whether she had enough channels to purchase gold.
Now that she knew that the Britannia Empire had sent another order related to gold, Matilda immediately said without hesitation:
"Buy them all! Buy them all! Whatever the Britannia Empire wants, exchange them!"
