I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1138 - 598: The Victory Sword’s Promised Hope of Triumph Is Gone!

The development of the Naiselre Empire has gained a significant boost after acquiring sufficient military support, resulting in a severe fragmentation of the entire empire.

The gap between the upper and lower classes is growing increasingly large.

If not for various political mandates coupled with Gu Shanhai's intimidation, forcibly advancing various political measures.

One can only say the future is bright; however, for now, only the future remains.

"Master, how can this be resolved?" Jiang Hai asked with a bitter face, observing the rapid changes of the Naiselre, yet also witnessing the various sufferings formed by the exploitation of the lower classes.

"A price must be paid; you took such big strides, and I have no solution."

Gu Shanhai understood the reason, as the world they inhabited was still in the low magic stage of the Magic Power tide, unable to enhance productivity through large-scale use of energy environments.

With insufficient productivity, many issues are foreseeable.

As for relying on political mandates, this method works, but the problem lies between issuance and implementation; even if it is faster, it still requires time and doesn't take effect instantly, unlike playing a game.

"Can it slow down?" Jiang Hai sighed; initially, it was supposed to be a three-year plan, but without compression, it should be a thirty-year progression.

Compressing thirty years of development into three years — it's impossible to avoid problems.

"I'm afraid not; the machine has already been set in motion, and slowing down involves too many interests that you can't adjust."

"Therefore, it can only go fast but not slow, and certainly can't stop; otherwise, the backlash could be intolerable for the Naiselre Empire." Gu Shanhai stated calmly.

Each political mandate issuance involves vast interest distribution and cannot be halted simply because you say so.

What's more, the beneficiaries aren't individuals but all people of the Naiselre Empire, and even the finances have been spent; retrieving them would directly lead to a deficit in the empire's economy, inevitably causing problems.

"Even you can't solve this, teacher?" Jiang Hai asked unwillingly.

"Sure I can; I can't solve this problem, but I can eliminate its root. Just blow up the Naiselre Empire, and there wouldn't be many issues left." Gu Shanhai shrugged, implying that if everyone was dead, these problems wouldn't exist.

The solution is simple, crude, and once for all.

"Ah, I'll handle it myself then." Jiang Hai sighed, not asking for more.

This matter indeed was too troubling for Gu Shanhai.

"By the way, Alexander will be sent over for your tutelage in two days; please bear with it." Jiang Hai switched the topic.

"Can't your wife take care of it? Why send him to me; Alexander isn't that old yet." Gu Shanhai grumbled.

Alexander was just over a year old, and sending him over seemed less like teaching and more like babysitting. Teaching a one-year-old indeed needed skills.

"Victoria, she's... It's hard to explain." Jiang Hai also felt helpless, for Victoria, the puppet Empress, was all flustered in taking care of the child, juggling between state affairs and taking care of Alexander to avoid mistakes that Victoria might make. Surviving till Man Yue was largely owing to Gu Shanhai's blessings back then.

"How difficult can it be; she ought to learn it anyway? She's idle every day." Gu Shanhai mused that this puppet occupation was quite incompetently handled.

"Wait, what about the palace maids?" Gu Shanhai realized the matter, in such a vast Imperial Palace, it couldn't just be Victoria alone.

"Afraid something might happen, hence the palace maids weren't involved, what if they dissolve in water." Jiang Hai was also worried.

"Your joke is quite hellish; neither your surname is Zhu nor are you part of the Sun and Moon Dynasty, dissolving in water isn't likely, besides, it wouldn't be Alexander but your wife Victoria dissolving in water." Gu Shanhai remarked, suggesting Jiang Hai had misjudged the situation.

"I've certainly got no free time lately, let Little White take care of it; it has some experience, should be okay." Gu Shanhai pondered, finding Little White, who spent its days lazing and nights in the oil cauldron.

Being idle, it was, ever since it stopped leveling skills and only entered Yu Wang Jiu Ding occasionally to endure pain, life returned to its previous leisure.

Gu Shanhai had no reason to disturb it, considering its long endurance in the cauldron, and incrementally enhancing Yu Wang Jiu Ding's intensity, adjusting slowly, allowing it to improve bit by bit, consequently Little White had not sensed the issue over time.

Thus, relative to letting Little White train skill, the covert modification was easy; even if just a bit more each day, it would eventually be apparent.

"Little White, isn't it still going to the oil cauldron at night, is it available?" Jiang Hai didn't mind.

"Yes, it takes only half an hour anyway; by then, it can take Yu Wang Jiu Ding with it." Gu Shanhai mentioned no problem. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Did you discover something? You're being very cautious."

Gu Shanhai asked again; otherwise, how could there be distrust of palace maids and Alexander being sent over?

Victoria couldn't take care of a child, but it wasn't to such an extent; hence the more likely scenario was encountering some issue.

"The southern Vinaros Empire plans to act against us, but not openly; they're scheming with underhanded tactics."
