Chapter 1542: Another Group

Qin Zhangfeng could not help but sigh, but for these Indians, such mythical legends were far better than any scientific explanation.

Qin Zhangfeng sighed; this was also a Method with no alternative.

The Indians here were not yet civilized, and their thinking was very backward.

Qin Zhangfeng did not continue thinking about the Indians here.

Instead, he looked toward the Third City; winter had arrived, and he should return to Longyan City for a trip to see Mr. Qingyang Shuo.

But right now, he could not spare the time.

Although it was winter and one could not break ground, he had to maintain the order of the Indians here.

This place was accessible from all directions and had once been a British plantation.

He had to be vigilant against those French and British.

……

At this moment, Australia.

Winter had arrived, but for Australia, it was not much of a problem.

Their temperatures did not drop very low; on the contrary, they had even increased.

The military leasing system that Xie Fang had implemented here had already accumulated too much resentment.

Over this period, many battles had broken out; although he had mediated all of them, it treated the symptoms but not the root cause.

Xie Fang summoned his ministers today to discuss state affairs.

Sitting on the Dragon Throne, he said in a deep voice, "How do you gentlemen think this matter should be handled?"

After some thought, one minister submitted a memorial: "Your Majesty, I believe we should abolish the policy of leasing armies."

"For the state, once abolished, our military strength will become even more powerful."

"For the people, since these wealthy individuals will no longer have armies in their hands, naturally they will not cause so many incidents."

After hearing this, Xie Fang had a splitting headache.

It was not that he did not want to abolish this policy; it was just that this policy had earned him too much money.

If he abolished it directly now, they would immediately lose a large sum of fiscal revenue.

Australia had many mines that were being developed, and also much fertile land suitable for planting crops.

However, what Australia lacked was indigenous people; the Longyan people brought by Xie Fang simply had no Method to control so many places.

As for seeking help from Longyan, Xie Fang had already declared himself emperor here in Australia.

Seeking help from Longyan meant going to cooperate with Longyan, and Xie Fang did not want to seek help from Longyan right now.

At this time, another minister said:

"Our current fiscal revenue relies on these foreigners who are willing to join our nationality."

"You say abolish it, so you abolish it."

"In my view, not only can we not abolish it, we must increase it; the more fiercely they fight, the more they will rely on us."

Hearing these words, the two factions of court officials instantly began a Bitter Remonstrance.

In the eyes of both sides, the other's policy was garbage.

Xie Fang sighed, but this problem had now reached the point where it had to be solved.

"Silence!" Xie Fang shouted coldly.

Everyone quieted down, but now they all looked at each other with displeasure.

He looked at the silent Prime Minister and said in a deep voice, "Prime Minister, what is your view?"

Hearing Xie Fang's voice, the Prime Minister slowly opened his mouth and said, "Leasing armies is indeed a malignant tumor that has accumulated for us."

"Moreover, this tumor has reached the time when it must be removed."

Everyone looked at the Prime Minister.

"But Prime Minister, currently the majority of our fiscal revenue comes from these outsiders."

The Prime Minister said in a deep voice, "That is precisely where the root cause lies!"

"Only by solving this problem will other problems be solved easily!"

"Then what is the Prime Minister's meaning?" Xie Fang asked.

The Prime Minister looked at Xie Fang and said in a deep voice, "I suggest doing it imperceptibly, decaying it bit by bit!"

"We must absolutely not be too hasty!"

Xie Fang nodded.

His head, his eyes gleaming; fortunately, the Prime Minister was his own person.

……

And at this time, on the other end of Australia.

The region where the French were located.

Two people were playing Chinese chess there; this kind of chess was a game that had come over from Longyan.

The operation was simple, but the knowledge contained within it was exceptionally vast, and difficult!

"There is warfare in many parts of Australia now; I feel our opportunity is almost here."

"Not yet; the various forces in Australia are too complex right now."

"If we were to launch a war, we might be detected by Xie Fang that something is wrong."

"I suggest not attacking now."

"What you say makes sense; why don't we add fuel to the fire..."

……

At this time, Europe.

Prague.

Douglas's residence.

At this moment, Douglas had one hand on an Austrian lady, showing no restraint whatsoever in front of outsiders.

"You mean to say, a woman and a man have come to Prague, they have a large amount of grain in their hands, and they are currently providing disaster relief?"

A Priest dressed in white standing opposite Douglas said respectfully at this moment: "Yes, leader of the Holy Cross Army, the great Lord Douglas."

Douglas nodded and said indifferently: "Very well, I know now, you may leave."

A woman holding a large amount of grain, providing disaster relief in Austria.

Truly interesting.

Austria is currently busy with the Poland battlefield and has no time at all to attend to the disaster victims.

Now, this man and woman have popped up here to provide disaster relief.

Douglas narrowed his eyes, thinking carefully about who these two people might be.

But after thinking it over, he could not think of who these two might be.

However, it does not matter; the grain in their hands can only belong to him, belong to the Holy Cross Army, and belong to this Holy War!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Douglas's mouth, and he clenched his hands tightly, revealing an excited expression.

That Austrian lady let out a soft moan.

Douglas looked at her and smiled faintly; the Austrian lady was quite good.

……

And at the other end of Prague.

The three people sent by Victor finally arrived in Prague.

When they first set out, Liangduo and his party of three were still very presentable, but now they were in rags.

All three were leaning on wooden sticks, and they did not know where their shoes had gone.

With the way the three of them looked now, it would not be an exaggeration to call them refugees.

Liangduo suddenly stared at the porridge stall not far ahead with eyes like a jackal and sprinted toward it.

"It's porridge! Porridge!"

The other two companions also had fierce glints in their eyes.

They flew over.

They had been hungry for several days, and now seeing the porridge, they were as excited as if they had seen their own kin.

Gulp, gulp, gulp!

Three people, three big bowls down their throats.

Liangduo felt as if he had come back to life again.

He sighed, looked at the porridge stall, said his thanks, and was about to leave.

But the person serving the porridge stopped him and said indifferently: "The rule here is, if you drink the porridge, you must work; it's not much."

"See the wheat fields here? You are just responsible for clearing away the weeds."

Liangduo looked at the hoe he had taken into his hands and was stunned for a moment.

He looked at the boundless fields all around and was instantly dumbfounded.

They had a mission coming to Prague; they were here to pacify the refugees.

How could they do farm work here!

Liangduo threw the hoe in his hand down fiercely, put his hands on his hips, and said: "I won't do it, I have a mission coming here."
