I'll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan!-Chapter 105 - A World-shaking Plan!

As Lorne spoke, he dipped his finger into the wine and sketched out a map of Lolan’s territory.

“There are dozens of countries of all sizes around us. They even come with extraordinary functions.

“If the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance can organize a weapons trade.

“Selling some of the obsolete weapons as well as the weapons and armors that have been stored in the warehouse for a long time would lead to some specific countries having a miraculous effect.”

At this point, Lorne’s finger gently drew a circle on the upper right corner of Lolan’s territory.

“For example, here, on this peninsula that extends out, the three countries are the most powerful.”

“Bangzi Li, Xinluo, and Baekje!”

Along with Lorne’s words and guidance, Allen turned his gaze to the upper right corner of Lolan’s territory.

“Out of the three small countries, Bangzi Li is the strongest. It’s even far stronger than Xinluo and Baekje combined. “Since the Han dynasty, Lolan has always been in conflict with Liaodong. The original dynasty has also launched many expeditions. “In other words, the three kingdoms are an extremely unstable factor. Every time there’s a war in Lolan, an ambitious country like the Bangzi Li will always interfere.

“If there are times when we don’t have time to care about them, we’ll send troops to invade Liaodong, plundering the regional cities in Lolan, and plundering the people. This isn’t the first or second time that Bangzi Li has done this.”

Hearing this, Allen could not help but nod. Of course, he knew about this situation. This group of barbarians in Liaodong had this kind of mindset.

Xinluo and Baekje were slightly better off, so they rarely invaded Lolan’s territory.

On the contrary, Bangzi Li was the most problematic one in Liaodong’s three kingdoms. After being beaten by the Lolan Empire, they would cower and cry pitifully, kneeling down and begging for mercy.

The moment the Lolan Empire let go of Bangzi Li and go to war. Bangzi Li would immediately turn into a hungry wolf.

After the Lolan Empire unified the world, Bangzi Li had already been included in the list. However, the Lolan Empire was currently very powerful, so Bangzi Li did not dare to show off in front of Lolan. Thus, they never attacked.

They wrote up a list and requested to acknowledge Lolan as the suzerain country. They even stated that they would pay tribute every year.

Of course, Lolan’s subjects were not stupid. It was impossible for them not to notice Bangzi Li’s act of cowardice. However, compared to Liaodong, the Bora people in the north, and even the wider northern grasslands, they were obviously more hostile to Lolan.

Compared to the nomads in the north, the threat of Bangzi Li seemed insignificant. Therefore, they closed a blind eye towards Bangzi Li and waited until the nomads in the north were taken care of before dealing with this. The sequence of steps was clear.

Although Allen could understand these relationships, he asked with some doubt, “Lorne, do you think the Liaodong have anything to do with the weapon and armor dealings? What do you mean by the special benefits you mentioned just now?”

Lorne coughed lightly and then pressed his hand.

“I mentioned the three Liaodong countries to you just now. The other two countries, Xinluo and Baekje, have almost qualms with our Lolan Empire.

“On the contrary, these two countries have a feud with Bangzi Li, who is also in Liaodong. The three countries have been fighting each other for hundreds of years.

“Of course, in recent years, Baekje has gradually sided with Bangzi Li, and Xinluo is the only one who carries the burden of being alone.

“So, if I am in charge of the imperial court, I can use this opportunity to sell the equipment to Xinluo and arm Xinluo’s strength.

“In this way, when Xinluo is fighting with Bangzi Li, it will have more fighting strength and be able to act as a hindrance from the rear side.

“By using this method of borrowing strength to fight, the Liaodong countries will become chaotic and fight each other.

“Then at least for a very long time, before we, Lolan, free our hands to deal with Bangzi Li, Liaodong will fall into the internal strife of splitting into three smaller countries.”

As soon as Lorne finished speaking, Allen suddenly felt his scalp go numb. He felt that coming here today was an excellent choice. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

His original intention was to ask Lorne about the methods of dealing with the surplus weapons and armors that would be eliminated every year. Without much effort, Lorne had given him more than that.

First, it involved the modification of the prefectural military system and the recruitment system. Then, it involved the weapons trade, and now he directly related this matter to the situation in Lolan’s territory and the three countries in Liaodong. D*mn it, could he relate it to more things?

Not only that, but the matters involved were also thoroughly analyzed. The description of the situation in the three countries of Liaodong simply kept the relationship between Banzi Li, Xinluo, and Baekje tightly locked.

Allen secretly daydreamed about the possibilities for a while, then pulled his train of thought back to the main topic. He stroked his chin and thought for a while.

He summarized what Lorne said.

“Then, if the Ministry of War can make a decision, they can sell these obsolete weapons to countries like Xinluo.

“Not only can it be exchanged for money, labor, and items, it can be used to create new equipment, and it can also eliminate the negative effects of waste.

“It can even help consolidate the safety of Lolan, stabilize the situation in the four directions, and provide a foundation for our future northern expedition to Bora?”

Lorne nodded with certainty.

“Yes, that’s what I meant. The rod force was just an example. There are quite a number of countries around that can use this method.” Allen could not help but be shocked, and his heart pounded violently.

F*ck, just one weapon trade actually had such a great benefit!

He was killing many birds with one stone!

This kind of act of taking care of all sides at the same time made it difficult for Rosen and the others to grasp. It was not because they were st*pid, but because their perception on things were limited. For the courtiers like them, the first thing they would do was to reject the idea of the weapon trade in their minds, because doing business with other countries in the weapons and armor category would be considered a really dangerous move. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

Perhaps only a strange person like Lorne could think outside the box and not be restricted by these borders.

This method seemed to work, and Allen decided in his heart. When he went back, he would write it in the memorial and present it to the king. He would ask all the officials in the court to discuss it and make sure that it gets approved.
