"If the atmosphere in the two areas is harmonious, the people of Kaiji Island can accept the shogunate's control, and in the future, it may be possible to return Kaiji Island to the shogunate's jurisdiction in a more gentle way."

Xia Xia paused for a moment, and then gave another possibility: "If you don't get along well, I believe that the shogunate will know how to advance and retreat... If you have a heart, you will definitely be able to make the most accurate judgment."

The atmosphere is a very easy thing to control. With the strategy of the sea of ​​heart, it may be unknown to make the two sides get along well, but if you want to get along unhappy, you can do it by random events.

It should be something to be proud of to be trusted so much by Xia Xia, but the sea of ​​heart sounds strange, as if he is saying that he is very scheming...

Finally, the two sorted out the content of the peace talks.

The northwest corner of Kaiji Island and the northern area of ​​Hachien Island are exchanged for lease. Both areas are operated by Kaiji Island people, but they are under the jurisdiction of the shogunate, abide by the laws of the shogunate, and pay taxes according to the shogunate tax rate.

The shogunate will open a new foreign trade port in the northwest leased area of ​​Kaiji Island, which will mainly deal in the special products of Kaiji Island, which will be managed by the company.

"From an economic point of view, Kaiji Island has huge benefits, and the shogunate is not without benefits. As long as the two parties can cooperate normally, it must be a win-win situation."

Xia Xia gave his judgment, and saw Xinhai blinking and watching stupidly. No matter how many times she watched it, the current goddess of the sea only looked more like an innocent and lovely girl, with pink hair as expected. Are the cuts all black?

The sea of ​​​​heart is not dark, but you are thinking more?

Because of Xia Xia's help, the pressure on Xinhai alone has eased a lot, and the frowning brows finally stretched: "Why don't I give you the title of military division! It took me so long to think about perfect things, you are so A solution will be given soon.”

Xia Tian didn't dare to take credit: "Because you have given so many perfect ideas, I can improve on your basis! It's not that I'm good, but... Maybe because I can stand from the perspective of a bystander. Think about it, so we can come up with the conditions that both parties can accept as much as possible! Moreover, I just talk about it, and the specific implementation depends on the cooperation of the company, the Tianling and you. "

The conditions given in the summer can be said to be very rich for Kaiji Island, and Xinhai certainly will not refuse, the only thing to consider now: "Then do you think such conditions can be negotiated successfully? Although it looks good, in fact, the shogunate There is not much profit, even if there is no port of Kaiji Island, you can continue to use the outlying islands..."

Yes, it seems to be a win-win situation, but in fact, the shogunate has gone out of its own way, and it has to give up some of the benefits that could have been returned to the remote islands. It seems to be a loss?

But summer sees it differently.

"With the current strength, the stable shogunate can crush the unsupported Kaiji Island in multiples, but they still chose to negotiate with you. Naturally, there are reasons for the loss and the will of the people, but it is more to show that what they need is not Material rewards, but political demands."

"Kaijishima is willing to cooperate with the relevant work of the shogunate and make concessions in governance rights, which is what they expect in return."

"Moreover, to say a word of blind confidence, I think you, Ayaka Kamari, and Sara Kujo, you are all girls who are sincere and good to rice wives, and you can definitely understand each other and give the contents of the agreement to everyone's satisfaction."

"…"

Xinhai had no other questions or comments, she closed the open map and accepted the conditions given by Xia Xia.

He raised his chin, smiled, and asked curiously, "Xiamen, what are you doing so much for?"

Um…

After thinking about it for too long, Xia Xia jokingly replied, "I just want world peace."

"Ha ha."

Xinhai smiled, but then quickly frowned, his face full of worry.

Xia Xia thought that there were some unstable factors in the peace talks, but she heard her timidly ask: "Am I... a very scheming girl?"

I have the answer in my heart, no matter what I think? Where would ordinary girls go to calculate so much.

Xia Tian didn't hide it, expressing his understanding: "A bit... After all, he is the leader of an island, and he can't govern well if he is stupid!"

"Hmm." Xinhai covered his head and leaned back, sure enough...

Seeing her figure swaying, lost like an eggplant hit by frost, Xia Xia was busy with concern: "What's wrong?"

"The energy is running out."

Xinhai said something strange.

As a goddess and witch, Xinhai has to face complicated affairs, some of which she is happy to do, and some that make her unhappy to do.

Those things she doesn't like will seriously drain her energy and make her tired.

Therefore, Xinhai has set an indicator of "energy" for herself. When she is happy, the "energy" will rise, and when she is sad, the "energy" will drop... Once the energy drops, she will either become a lazy girl at home, or she will Have to look around for happy things to relieve stress.

The wonderful encounter with Xia Xia was because she went to the sea for a night swim in order to relieve stress... That time, she harvested enough energy to last for several days.

"what?"

"nothing!"

Xia Xia didn't hear clearly, and Xinhai waved his hands again and again, not wanting to expose his childish little secret.

She lowered her head and pinched the ribbon on her dress: "...that would be really annoying, wouldn't it?"

"What do you hate?"

"Because I actually used everyone's anger at the eye-hunting order to seek the interests of Kaiji Island... If those warriors who worked **** the battlefield knew about it, they would definitely feel insulted and played with it? I didn't expect Kaiji Island's Wouldn’t the current gods and priestess be such a hypocrite! The people of Kaijishima would be disappointed to have such a despicable and shameless leader?”

"…"

Summer thought about it, how should I answer to better express my meaning? Can Xinhai understand that she just did what a leader should do?

"Do the people of Kaijima like the sea?"

Xia Xia jumped the topic and asked, which made Xinhai a little confused, but he also replied: "There is no one in Kaiji Island who doesn't like the sea."

"Is the sea pure?"

"Of course..." Xinhai thought for a while, and added another explanation: "Although the sea has many impurities, I still think it is pure."

Xia Xia nodded for this: "The sea is not only full of impurities, she also has turbulent currents, whirlpools, and monsters that eat people... But even so, the people of Kaiji Island will love her deeply, because the sea has given Kaiji Island. Everything, she bears all the filth of Kaiji Island without any regrets, and repays everything she can give countless times..."

The evaluation of the ocean in summer makes the heart rippling with joy. For the people of Kaiji Island, praising the ocean is tantamount to praising their beliefs.

However, it is also strange. He is clearly asking himself if he is despicable and whether he will be hated by the islanders, so how did he bring the topic to the sea?

Does the sea have anything to do with me?

Her doubts were answered in the last sentence of the summer.

"You are the sea in the hearts of the people of Kaiji Island. No matter whether you are turbid, pure, or whether there is a vortex hidden in the depths, they will accept everything about you... Me too."

"Well."

Xinhai bit her lower lip, and Hongxia climbed onto her fair skin. She could hear her own heartbeat and the rising sound that popped out of her mind.

"Energy" is rapidly rising.

To be overloaded.

Bang!

The sea of ​​​​heart seemed to be evaporated, the whole body was red like dried squid, and the white steam swept the small room.

She has heard many compliments.

But it was the first time...to be touched like this.

Chapter 742 Ying is also a steam girl

The red sea of ​​hearts is too cute, but she couldn't let Xia Xia look at it for a while, so she covered her little cheeks with the back of her hands.

No matter how hot the body is, the back of the hand plated with water is still cold, which can not only cool down, but also cover the shame.

Xia Xia was also surprised. I thought that a leader like Xinhai who often gave speeches in front of people should have a thicker skin... I can't stand it with a few compliments.

You must know that Goro is a big fan of the strategist, and what he says every day is "As expected of Lord Coral Palace, as expected!" "With Lord Coral Palace's clever plan, everything is not a problem!"...

Maybe it was because he boasted too much, so he was immune?

The "Steam Princess" state of the sea of ​​heart did not last long. After about half the room's fog appeared, it stopped the roar of the "engine" in my heart, but I didn't dare to get closer. I don't know when I had run to the office. over the table.

It was originally a distance that could be hugged by a hand, but now it has become a two-meter-long table, making it embarrassing in summer. Maybe it should be praised more gently?

He asked embarrassingly: "Xinhai, are you... alright?"

"It's okay." Xinhai squatted on the chair, supporting the table with both hands, maintaining a fairly calm appearance, but clenching his fists with both hands, making his facial expression tense, and a somewhat unnatural smile.

Remembering that he hadn't given an answer to Xia's proposal, he hurriedly changed the subject by saying, "You are really a great negotiator, and I was persuaded by you! I hope the peace talks can go smoothly."

"It's not that I was persuaded, but Xinhai, you are also inclined to talk about peace, right?" Xia Xia can be sure of this, Xinhai has never shown war intentions, but for the future of Kaiji Island, she has to put aside her own ideas, and choose the most suitable path objectively.

Xinhai did not deny it, but talked about the past about Kaiji Island and General Raiden.

"In the southwest of Kaiji Island, there is an abandoned shrine there. It is not the Lord Orobas, but the Raiden General of the shogunate... It's strange, isn't it? There is actually a shrine of the Naugamijima Grand Imperial Palace on Kaiji Island."

"A long time ago, although the shogunate was not respected as much as the shogunate, Kaijimao recognized her existence, but with the fall of the sword, after the demon who guarded our Kaijimao was cut off, the original shrine was abandoned. "

"Since then, the relationship between Kaijimao and the shogunate has become a little more delicate, and the prejudice between them has deepened..."

After talking about the past, Xinhai sighed helplessly: "If possible, I would also like to use this peace talk to discuss this issue with Tianling Fengcheng. There are some grievances that will be put down one day... The grievances have lasted for thousands of years. , it will not be solved overnight, but if nothing is done, the hatred may continue for thousands of years."

The sea of ​​​​heart looked up, and there was a gleam in the empty eyes, which was the beauty of the sun shining into the deep sea: "Thank you for your suggestion, so that I can seek benefits for the people of Kaiji Island on the basis of peace talks."

The terms of the peace talks have been negotiated so far. Xia Tian believes that he should be able to persuade Kujo Sara to accept those terms. It is not just the Coral Palace Xinhai who wants to resolve the grievances between the two sides.

Next, I learned from Yingkou that there are still many voices against peace talks in the military camp and the common people... The resistance army is different from the shogunate army, there is no such strict management system, and each division has completely independent control. , If you don't settle these people, it is very likely that there will be some moths.

"I heard from Ying that there are many different opinions in the military camp. Will it affect the peace talks?"

"Well... This is what I've been worried about recently. It's not easy to get everyone to let go of the pain and anger caused by the war in a short period of time and accept peace talks."

Speaking of the recent rumors, Xin Haicai's stretched brows wrinkled again, and she opened a green document on the table: "Especially the recent rumors, saying that Tianling is colluding with the fools and intends to continue to wage war. The peace talks this time are just a pretense for delaying the time, and the purpose is to let the rebels relax..."

Xia Xia denies it simply: "It shouldn't, not to mention other things, continue to provoke war, for the shogunate, there is no benefit... You have also analyzed before, as long as Kaiji Island does not cause trouble, even if the peace talks break down, the shogunate will not Too aggressive."

Xinhai nodded: "With you as the representative, of course I believe in the sincerity of the shogunate peace talks... But not everyone can analyze it calmly, especially the soldiers in the military camp, who have experienced blood baptism on the battlefield and endured far more Ordinary people's sadness and anger, to make them believe that the enemy who was still fighting for life and death a few days ago can now get along with him peacefully, maybe it's too strong to be difficult?"

We understand that we understand, but there are only two days left before the peace talks, and the rumors that permeated the military camp must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Xia Xia was worried about this: "...Someone deliberately spread such rumors in the military camp. If we don't deal with it, it will only make things worse."

"I also think so, no matter what the outcome of the peace talks is, allowing such rumors to spread will definitely increase the possibility of conflict in the future... But the recent period is too busy, and my identity makes it difficult to go deep into the military camp. Communicate and understand…”

Xinhai pointed to the location on the map where the banquet will be held tomorrow: "That's why I wanted to borrow such a celebration banquet. Maybe after the excitement and drinking, I can let those rumors spread out."

"As expected of the strategist, everything is arranged! Just wait for tomorrow!"

This kind of compliment is very common. It is no different from Goro's usual flattery. Of course, it will not make Xinhai blush and heartbeat, but because it was praised by Xia Xia, she still satisfied her vanity a little, but It's a pity that the "energy" in my heart has been stored to full, and there is no way to continue to increase it.

This is the first time I have discovered a way to restore "energy" so quickly. If Xia Xia was always by his side, whenever his "energy" was insufficient, let him praise himself, even if he would never feel tired, right?

Always be by my side... What am I thinking!

Xinhai shook his head, shook away those inexplicable assumptions, and said apologetically, "It was a difficult celebration, I wanted to let you and Ying feel the enthusiasm of going to Haiji Island, but I didn't expect to trouble you again."

"Who called me the messenger of peace!"

Xia Tian spread his hands, with a helpless and arrogant look on his face, making his heart laugh: "Hehe, then thank you, Mrs. Rice's hero!"

"The hero of the rice wife...?"

"Those who change Thunderbolt's will can be a hero no matter where they are!"

Because of this, Xinhai believes that those in the military camp may be more willing to confide in Xia Xia.

For the title of hero, Xia Xia took it for granted, and it was not the first time anyway.

Mond's hero, Liyue's hero, and now Inami's hero.

Heaven will give great responsibility to the people of this country... I'm used to it.

 …

The night on Kaiji Island was as peaceful as ever, as if isolated from the world.

 …

Because there are no gorgeous fireworks projects, and there are not enough lighting facilities, the time for the event was put at noon... It is the first time to participate in a daytime banquet in summer, which is really unique.

Kaiji Island is surrounded by sea on all sides, and the sea is its home, so the venue for the celebration banquet is also on the nearby beach.

Looking around, it is empty and simple, and I really feel the backwardness of Haizhidao. Maybe this is the price of standing still?

He has heard from the locals of Kaiji Island. During the reign of the previous gods and witches, the external transactions of Kaiji Island were only the most basic living materials. It was only after taking office in the heart of the sea that he began to really come into contact with foreign things. .

Although there are no fancy lights, there is enough wine and meat. For Haizhidao, which is short of materials during this time, it is a good opportunity to have a full meal. For example, Paimon is already eager to see, and sneaks into his mouth while everyone is not paying attention. After stuffing a few meat balls, I kindly gave Ying Ye a mouthful.

Maybe it's because she didn't enjoy the delicious taste other than fish for too many days, Ying couldn't resist the smell of meat after all, and Paimon covered their mouths, looked at each other and smiled, stirring their tongues and teeth happily.

Suddenly looking up, seeing Xia Xia appearing with the sea of ​​​​heart, the eyes meet.

How can you be embarrassed to meet people with such a silly appearance of stealing food? As soon as he got excited, he got stuck, and his face was flushed red. Thanks to Paimon holding a large glass of water in time, he was relieved after a few slurs.

Xia Xia almost laughed out loud, but as an important guest who followed Xinhai, he still had to maintain his demeanor.

Before the banquet started, Xinhai, as a leader, of course had to say something as usual.

"Everyone has worked hard, today is our celebration..."

"In the past period of time, our war with the shogunate army came to an end, and we also witnessed the abolition of the eye-hunting order..."
