Xiao Kaitian stretched out his fingers and gently tapped the crystal glass filled with wine, making a slight "ding" sound. He was thinking carefully about the meaning of Natalie's words.
The ownership of the entire Jiexu territory belonged to the emperor and king in the political carrier of the Three Kingdoms and the Free Country in ancient times, but in a country that advertises democracy like this now, it belongs to the country as a whole.
In principle, emperors and kings have the right to allocate the subsequent ownership of the boundary ruins, including the current country. It is not that privatization is not allowed, but no matter which country, such a thing has never happened.
According to historical records, at most it is a "reward" to a certain hero and general, but at most it is only one place, and the reward for the entire world does not exist.
Generally speaking, purchasing the ownership of the North Realm Ruins from Natalie is the mildest solution. The question is how much price he needs to pay.
In addition, even if Jie Xu is bought over, the status of his political power remains to be measured. The rules of the cultivation world are relatively complete. It is not just a matter of pulling up a mountain, even if it is Jie Xu, it will become a national force if it raises its flag.
.
Otherwise, some rogue bandits will occupy any planet at will, or attack the world ruins, and after seizing control, they will become a "state", and the entire world of cultivation will be in chaos.
This is why Tang Hongyun, who rebelled not long ago, although he formally controlled the power of Long Xuguo, did not receive the recognition and support of most forces when he fell.
The big guys in the political circles of the cultivation world are just those people. Drinking tea, playing cards and playing chess are the business of this group of people. It is not that easy for others to squeeze in.
As for why Natalie made such a suggestion, it is not difficult for Xiao Kaitian to guess that in Natalie's eyes, he is an absolutely uncontrollable existence. If he continues to stay in Long Xu's country, it will inevitably interfere with Natalie's governance.
rule.
For forces that cannot be controlled and killed, it is better to be a "favor" and pave the way for one's future political career. The northern border is originally a border ruin under the name of Longxu Kingdom. Trading it out is not good for Longxu Kingdom itself.
No loss.
After independence, Xiao Kaitian, despite his reputation, is still a marginalized figure on the political stage of the cultivation world. It is certain that he relies on Long Xuguo. As for what height Xiao Kaitian can reach in the future, then
It's not an issue Natalie thinks about anymore.
On the other hand, in Xiao Kaitian's view, it is also a good choice to go out on his own tactfully and peacefully. The overall policy he pursues, including the planned things, is actually incompatible with various countries in the cultivation world. If he continues to be involved in the future,
There will be many problems with the procedures and legality of some matters under Long Xuguo's name.
To put it simply, things have reached the point where they are now, just like a seemingly positive political couple who were originally estranged from each other. In fact, they are doing their own thing. Now both parties have found their true love and sit down to talk about divorce calmly.
The divorce procedures are not difficult to handle, and no one will point out anything, but the core thing is how to divide each other's property.
"If I want to buy it, I actually don't know much about the value of an existence like Jie Xu in the world of cultivation." Xiao Kaitian decided to tell the truth: "Bufan first tell me about your proposal."
"Okay," Natalie brushed her long silver hair with satisfaction: "First of all, as you said, the Boundary Ruins are priceless treasures, and it is impossible to use physical objects such as T-values or light crystals to make equivalent evaluations."
"My family was able to 'purchase' the Jie Xu because of the special political environment at that time and the monks' rare awareness of the Jie Xu, which was not what it is now."
Everything originated from the opening of the explosive era of interstellar exploration. At that time, various countries fully supported the monks in interstellar exploration. The introduction of soul mechas, the development of small wormhole technology, etc., instantly expanded the monks' space for action.
New world ruins and resources are constantly being discovered. The monks believe that the time has come for them to control the infinite resources of the starry sky, so they do not pay too much attention to the world ruins.
The boundary ruins or some small boundary ruins damaged in the war were simply used as objects of trade. This was a prerequisite for the initial establishment of a free country.
After they came back from a circle, they realized that they could only master the current limit, and then they came to their senses. The world ruins were not enough, but by this time it was too late, and the Free Country was established.
After going around and around, I finally came up with some similar provisions of the Alliance of Gods’ Act that “Destruction of the Boundary Ruins is Strictly Prohibited”.
"So, it is not true how much money you invested to buy the world market," Natalie was obviously prepared: "And this number is also an astronomical number for you and cannot be realized."
"What I am thinking here is that by using the deduction method, you take away the ownership of the Northern Realm Ruins, but the corresponding thing is that first, you must first return to me the interstellar port of the Oriental Pearl Realm Ruins. After all, it was you who destroyed it, right?
."
Xiao Kaitian crossed his legs and continued to listen to Natalie's proposal: "To tell you the truth, in fact, the five realms of Baiwu Kingdom have already made deals with us privately. Dai Yuanzheng's collapse is only a matter of time. These five realms
The ruins may be merged into the territory of Longxu Kingdom. In this way, Longxu Kingdom will completely open up the connection with the ancient Shu Kingdom and Wei Kingdom and become the core commercial trading country of the free country."
"Long Xuguo plans to absorb Baiwu Kingdom." This is a change that Xiao Kaitian did not expect: "Isn't Dai Yuanzheng the only one who owns the boundary ruins of Baiwu Kingdom?"
"No," Natalie didn't hide it: "Everyone has his own master, so the result of our general discussion is nothing more than adding new members, formally asking me to be the queen."
If this step can be realized, then the interstellar port of the Pearl of the Orient will indeed be indispensable. Xiao Kaitian nodded in agreement.
"Secondly, I don't need some of the technologies you have, but the products, especially military products, need to be provided to Long Xuguo's army for free for equipment, and civilian technologies must also be shared with Long Xuguo for free to promote the development of the overall commercial economy.
."
"Of course, what I want is not the core technology and products, but the ones you can sell to the outside world."
Xiao Kaitian raised his left hand and covered his mouth. Natalie's plan was tantamount to completely and deeply binding the long-term future of Long Xuguo with his own post-independence northern power.
Any innovative actions taken by Xiao Kaitian in the future must be synchronized with Longxu Kingdom, so as to realize the rapid improvement of Longxu Kingdom's military technology.
Abandoning a useless Northern Realm Ruins in exchange for such cooperation can be said to be a huge gain.
"Then there is the military alliance, which must be signed. We do not need to maintain an offensive and defensive alliance, but we can never go to war."
Xiao Kaitian sighed secretly in his heart. Natalie was indeed very talented in politics. She had fully and reasonably considered the interests of Long Xuguo.
