Kal'tsit Has Grown a Tail. / The Entire Sui Affairs Bureau Shows Up for a Free Meal.

It turned out that the amount to be compensated later had how many zeros?

Thirty million gold coins!

The Emperor of Gaul only spent five million to buy this land. How was that calculated?

"Are you perhaps making fun of me, sir...?"

The General of Gaul's gaze gradually turned hostile.

This amount is simply too much; what exactly did these serfs steal?

"There's so much destruction, especially that very advanced fertilizer-making machine. It's practically gone. The contract says I'll get ten times the compensation, and I have to pay 30,000 gold coins a year as protection money."

"This machine costs 500,000 gold coins in Victoria, and these people have destroyed more than just one machine."

"General, you don't need to worry that this contract is fake. I remember that there is a template stored in the Gaul National Archives. You can retrieve it at any time. There is a seal on it that matches my contract perfectly."

This protection fee wasn't paid for nothing; it wasn't a small sum either, and the Gaul nobles also got a share of it.

The General of Gaul was also furious, not at the enemy, but at the lack of backbone of the nobles in the colony.

What kind of nonsense is this? If you've signed something, you should protect it properly. Now look what's happened—what if you really have to pay out 30 million...

The General of Gaul dared not even imagine what kind of pleasant expression the emperor would give him; it was an astronomical sum.

Furthermore, the contract stipulated the metal content of the gold coins, requiring each coin to contain at least ten grams of gold with a purity of 99%.

Gaul already had paper money, and this contract perfectly avoided this loophole.

At least the General of Gaul didn't find any loopholes for him to exploit.

"General, this is just a small business, and my father is very strict with me. If I don't recover the losses this time, I will not be able to inherit the family position."

"You have to be understanding of me. At least let me earn back the money here and make up for the factory's losses."

"Mr. Huang, I will report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor now. Please be patient."

With things having come to this point, even the tall General of Gaul had lost his temper.

The contract was written in black and white, and even bore the seal of the Emperor of Gaul.

After all, no one would have expected that a rebellion would actually break out in this colony, let alone succeed.

The General of Gaul clearly did not encounter this situation either.

So I don't know how to handle it, so I can only put it aside for now. However, it seems that the other party does not intend to be an enemy of Gaul.

Looking at it this way, it seems there's still a chance for things to turn around.

Chapter 134 Kal'tsit with a new tail.

Huang Cao perfectly grasped the general's temperament; a person who values honor above all else is unlikely to act impulsively.

About two weeks later, the General of Gaul took a copy of the contract to his superior.

"Marshal, please take a look at this document. I may not be able to handle this task. I was born for war, not to play house with you."

Marshal Gaul smiled slightly, "That's why we decided to send you. Can't the might of our great nation subdue a small colony?"

The general's hawk-like eyes were fixed on the marshal before him, devoid of any respect. "So you mean I should abuse my power?"

"Of course, the emperor will personally award you a medal after you succeed. Isn't that enough?"

The General of Gaul's tone was filled with anger, "Then let me ask you, is this the emperor's will, or yours alone...?"

Do you really think I'm stupid?

You want me to bear the blame for Gaul's dishonesty, thinking you can get rid of me with a medal?

The General of Gaul are first-rate strategists, and the schemers from various countries are also quite intelligent; it's no easy task to compete with them.

"There's no need for the emperor to give the order personally; we can do it ourselves."

The marshal said this, but all he received in return was a rebuke from the other party.

"I am sorry I cannot comply. If it is His Majesty's order, I can personally lead my personal guards to do everything in my power to attack this land and take it in the least possible time and at the lowest possible cost."

"But if it is your conspiracy, it will disgrace my honor. Although you are my marshal, strictly speaking, you do not have full authority to command me. The emperor is my uncle, and I am older than you in terms of seniority."

"Don't try to tarnish my medals with your so-called power plays. To me, that's just child's play."

After saying this, the General of Gaul stroked the large patch of medals on his chest.

"Every one of these medals is something I earned through life and death. They were all awarded to me by His Majesty the Emperor for recognizing my abilities. Glory is with me. I know that what I wear on my chest are just some metal lumps, so I only recognize the glory that the medals carry."

"So you mean we have to pay these tens of millions of gold coins?"

The General of Gaul snorted coldly, "I didn't say that, but I will never let Gaul be tainted with dishonesty because of me, so I'm abandoning this mission. Whoever wants to do it can do it, but I'm not doing it."

As a direct descendant of the emperor, the General of Gaul would not give the marshal in front of him any chance to refute.

Unless the marshal in front of you is the emperor himself.

Thus, the question of the colonies was put on hold.

Because no matter how hard the Gaul Marshal searched, he dared not enter the obviously chaotic colonies, for he might be beheaded by some troublesome civilian who suddenly appeared.

Only the General of Gaul who had met Huang Cao dared to take on this task.

Because of his strength, he was not afraid of these unruly people at all, and he also commanded a highly capable elite army.

While Gaul marshal could mobilize troops, the cost would increase. Once the process was standardized, the significance would be different, and the emperor might even have to pay for it himself.

That's why he wanted this brute to do the job for him, but he didn't expect the other party to completely ignore his cleverness.

Even as a marshal, he couldn't do anything about this general.

This general was a favorite of the emperor, a true pillar of the nation, and had his own principles and beliefs in doing things.

Such people are extremely valuable to the emperor, even if they often disobey orders from their superiors.

Because such people may have many flaws, but their greatest strengths are their loyalty and usefulness.

And so, through a series of coincidences, the situation in the colony was completely stabilized.

All I can say is that Terra has its own unique charm.

After dealing with things here, more than two months had passed.

It wasn't too tiring, but the tasks were quite varied. However, once they were all finished, I could leave with peace of mind.

With telephones, every task can now be reported thoroughly.

The development of communication technology is the true foundation for a country to control various regions.

After explaining everything, Huang Cao returned to her own private world.

A perfect conspiracy has come to an end, leaving Kal'tsit in awe.

How did they manage to outwit two major powers so easily?

Kal'tsit wanted to learn some advanced techniques, but Huang Cao was too lazy to explain to the cat.

Just be a good maid in my household and stop thinking about all this nonsense.

"By the way, Kal'tsit, your equipment seems a bit different. Is your tail really that long?"

Huang Cao, who had just returned home, immediately noticed that the cat seemed to have some new accessories on its body, and its expression was a bit strange, as if it was holding back something.

"The second wife has quite a few complaints about me, so these things are all understandable."

Kal'tsit said with her head down, and slowly sat down so that her body wouldn't press against the "tail" behind her.

What else could it be but Lamian taking revenge on Kal'tsit while Huang Cao was away?

The man in front of her had been away from home for two months, and Kal'tsit, who was originally indifferent to him, couldn't help but miss the days when he was around.

Lamian didn't mistreat Kal'tsit, but she still caused her a lot of trouble every day.

Kal'tsit's workload has indeed decreased significantly recently.

After all, most of the work involved washing clothes and blankets, so these tasks could be relieved once Huang Cao left.

But none of this compares to the torment Lamian has put on her; now the cat has to walk very carefully.

Huang Cao curiously lifted the hem of Kal'tsit's skirt and discovered her second tail.

So that's how it is. The first user of this tail was Warfarin, the second was Lamian, and the third was Kal'tsit.

After all, Warfarin often played role-playing games with him...

"Should we take it off?"

Huang Cao asked curiously, while rubbing the lynx's real tail with his hand.

It's so short, you can grab it with one hand.

Kal'tsit blushed slightly when her tail was touched, but she quickly suppressed it.

After a long while, once the other person had grown tired of touching her, she said again, "No need. The Second Madam might be angry if I take them off, and besides, this is the end for today. Who knows what will happen in the future..."

Kal'tsit had a premonition that the next hundred years would not be very comfortable for her.

Of course, this discomfort is only true if your body can't adapt. If it can...

Chapter 135: The Si Sui Tai group came to freeload a meal.

"By the way, sir, there have been letters from Ursus and Yan Country in the past two months. Would you like to take a look at them?"

Kal'tsit respectfully took out several letters from her study, each engraved with the symbolic emblem of a different country.

As for why he went to get it himself, it was mainly because the cat wanted to see it.

In other words, they were secretly learning how Huang Cao conducted diplomacy.

You old fool, you've finally met your match! Didn't you always claim to know everything?

Huang Cao pushed the cat away with one hand and grabbed her second tail, speaking in a threatening tone:

"If you don't want to hear the bottle opener sound later, you can stay here, and there won't just be one sound!"

Faced with the threat, Kal'tsit lowered her ears slightly.

Finally, unwilling to give up, he left Huang Cao's office.

Actually, there are no secrets inside; they're just emails exchanged as part of social obligations.

Of course, no one wants their privacy to be seen by others, and currently only Lamian and Warfarin can freely look through these letters.

Although most of the time neither of them was interested.

For example, the two unopened letters that Kal'tsit brought over, one from Yan Country and the other from Ursus.

The Yan Country is easy to understand; it's most likely the name of the Yan Emperor or Shu.

As for Ursus, it's highly likely to be that Old Black Snake.

Because she didn't want to get involved with it, Huang Cao had no intention of replying to the snake's letter in the first place.

Black Snake had previously placed an order to buy high-yield Seed, but Huang Cao had not replied.

Presumably, Koschke is preparing to ask again.

Why did this snake suddenly change sex? Didn't it always like to flaunt its war-related aspects?

Why do you suddenly want to farm?

Upon opening the letter, it was discovered that Ursus was currently experiencing a widespread famine, as a sudden blizzard had swept through the country's most fertile regions.

The fact that this snake could send so many messages suggests that the disaster must have greatly damaged the nation's strength, but it's impossible to say that it has fundamentally harmed it.

As someone who exploits everyone to the Ursus, the emperor said that the deaths of his subordinates are not the deaths of his superiors.

However, this unprecedented blizzard will certainly affect military preparations for the next few years.

After all, excessive cold can freeze and kill microorganisms and various insects that are beneficial to the growth and development of grains.

If the Emperor of Ursus is willing to cede some of his interests, it will take at least several years for Ursus to return to a state where it can wage large-scale wars.

Plants take time to grow, and no one can guarantee that another blizzard won't come in the future.
