At this moment, Kaihime's mental pleasure surpassed the intense physical pleasure she experienced.
The fields were fertile, the oxen were tired, and Qin Mo slept until the afternoon of the next day. He only got up listlessly when someone from the palace summoned him to a meeting. He let the radiant Kaihime help him put on his full set of princely robes.
Upon entering the palace, Wang Yushi and Isabel were already waiting for him. A woman's intuition immediately revealed what good thing Qin Mo had done eight hours earlier.
Qin Mo was also a little embarrassed: "I drank too much yesterday and went on a drunken rampage all night."
“.......
"Lord Qin Mo... is indeed honest!"
"Alright, let's get down to business! Isabel, how do you plan to cooperate with us? How much capital do you have, and how much of Great Xia's goods can you absorb?"
“Your Excellency Qin Mo, the Sea Clan has been dormant for over a century, and their connections within the Western Continent's aristocratic circles are quite weak. Now that the Holy Temple is imposing taxes on goods from Great Xia, it will be difficult for them to have the same channels as our Blood Clan to quietly transport goods into every corner of the Western Continent!” Isabel spoke frankly. During the centuries that the Sea Clan had been in seclusion, they had severed ties with the Western Continent's aristocratic circles, and even if they wanted to smuggle goods now, they wouldn't have many avenues.
“Isabel, smuggling is ultimately something that can’t be done in the open. Since your vampire clan has enough power, why don’t you turn your London into a free trade port?”
"What is... a free trade port?" The vampire queen, who had lived for six hundred years, couldn't understand Qin Mo's meaning.
"Within the territory of your London port, any force is allowed to trade freely. Once the money and goods are settled, they will no longer be considered Great Xia goods, but local Western goods once they leave the port. As for whether the Temple's tax officials recognize them or not, that is up to the merchants themselves."
Isabel smiled. "Isn't that still smuggling? It's just that my London has become an openly legitimate smuggling hub!"
“You’re wrong, Isabel. You’re only guaranteeing the safety of ships trading in your port. Whether or not they smuggle is someone else’s business. And I dare say, the first fleet to trade in London will definitely be the Temple’s own fleet.”
"......."
Isabel thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “What Lord Qin Mo said is right. If your goods can be transported to London, the Temple will definitely send people to buy them. But how will you transport the goods to London? Will you transport them to London through the sea tribe? The Temple has a sea knight order in the Mediterranean, which will make things very troublesome. It would be better to have them disperse and infiltrate the Western Continent directly.”
“No, my fleet can now sail directly from Bactria to London.”
