"Yes, the Fies are so fierce in combat. I'm really afraid that they will deal with us in reverse." Warren Groot said worriedly: "I don't know if they will be willing to listen to our control in the future."

After hearing this, Tim disagreed: "The Fez people are brave and hardworking in battle, but don't forget that who gave the weapons they have given? If I didn't hold them together, they would be strangled in the cradle by the North African coalition in minutes, so there is no such thing as Fez threat! Besides, if they really dare to betray us, as long as they don't provide them with weapons, they will have to finish playing in minutes!"

After hearing Tim's words, everyone suddenly realized that yes, without the weapons provided by the Kingdom of Nepton, no matter how brave the Kingdom of Fez is, it is useless. At this moment, these people have put all their hearts down.

"Have there any news about the Venetians and the Ottoman Turks recently?" After talking about the Kingdom of Fez, Tim led the topic to the Mediterranean region.

"The two countries are still like that. Although there is no big war, the small friction is still going on." Warren Groot smiled and said, "And I don't know what happened? During this period, whether it is the Venetians or the Ottoman Turks, the amount of spices they provide is drastically decreasing, and the price of spices on the entire continent is higher than before."

Tim didn't say anything, but just looked at Bruno. Bruno understood and quickly explained: "It is normal for this situation to happen, because all the Arab merchant ships transporting spices to the Spice Islands were sunk, and a large amount of spices sank into the sea, so it would be strange if there were spices."

After hearing Bruno's words, Warren Groot said in surprise: "Can it be our navy's move?"

"Congratulations, you've answered correctly." Bruno smiled and then turned to Tim and said, "My Majesty, the spices we brought back from the Spice Islands are now piled up in the warehouse. Our merchants are eager to know when they can get these spices?"

"I forgot to say this." Tim slapped his forehead and felt ashamed: "Okay, I'll give them spices from tomorrow to let them sell them for themselves. Also, don't send them all spices at once. The amount of spices flowing into the market must be strictly controlled and the maximum profit should be achieved at the highest price."

"Yes, your majesty, I understand." Bruno quickly agreed.

"Okay, let's do it now!" Tim announced the end of the party with a smile.

When everyone left, Tim called Warren Groot: "Go and notify me immediately. Two weeks later, the National Assembly will be held in Lisbon, so that all the nobles must attend."

Tim decided to take advantage of this national conference to re-improve the national political system and comprehensively regulate the conflicts between the aristocrats.

…………

At one of the most famous taverns on West Street in Lisbon, a group of merchants gathered to wait for news of spices.

"It's been two days since these days. Why hasn't His Majesty come forward to solve the problem of spices? Is he planning to keep these spices in the treasury?"

"Don't talk nonsense, do you want your life? How can you guess your Majesty's decision and thoughts? We should just wait obediently."

"Oh, I've been waiting for a long time."

These merchants came to all over the Kingdom of Nepton, including the local areas of the Iberian Peninsula, Naples, North Africa, etc. They all looked forward to finding spices.

While everyone was anxious and continued to wait, a soldier had already run in: "His Majesty Tim has an order that from tomorrow, you can go to the treasury to collect spices!"

"Praise the Lord, I finally waited for this news after waiting for so long."

"Thank you, your majesty, long live your majesty."

Looking at the excited expressions of everyone, the soldier immediately poured a basin of cold water on them: "Don't be too happy too early. His Majesty Tim has already ordered that when spices are sold, everyone must sell spices at a unified price. No one can privately increase or reduce prices, causing vicious competition."

Everyone nodded quickly and said that they would definitely abide by His Majesty's orders.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night. Everyone was so excited that they didn't fall asleep, and they were eagerly looking forward to the sun rising early the next day.

When the sky in the east was just white, the Lisbon treasury was already crowded with a large number of merchants, who lined up in line under the surveillance of the army.

When Bruno brought people to the treasury to be distributed, he was startled by the crowd in front of him. He immediately rushed to the soldiers and ordered: "Let these people line up again immediately and take the team according to the Iberian Peninsula, Naples, North Africa and overseas areas, so that I can decide how much spices to be distributed."

After receiving Bruno's order, the soldiers immediately began to act and re-arranged all the people according to the region.

After seeing the team standing, Bruno nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Since the team has already stood, I will talk about His Majesty's assignment idea."

"According to His Majesty's order, North Africa can obtain 30% of the spices, Iberian Peninsula and Naples can obtain 15% of the spices respectively, and the remaining 40% belong to merchants traveling overseas. Do you have any opinions on this distribution plan?"

As soon as Bruno finished speaking, the soldiers around him raised their hands, held their weapons tightly, and stared at the merchants with stern eyes.

These businessmen are all cunning characters. Looking at the posture next to them, they immediately understood that it was obvious that this decision had been made and could not be modified. For them, there was nothing else but to accept it.

Even though there was a lot of dissatisfaction in my heart, under the shock of powerful force, the merchants had to swallow their dissatisfaction and agreed to Tim's plan.

Seeing that the merchants agreed, Bruno then signaled the soldiers to put down their weapons: "Okay, start preparing spices now."

Soon, the first group of people had already distributed spices. Looking at the few spices, they were filled with disappointment.

Seeing this, Bruno immediately repeated Tim's meaning intact: "Your Majesty said that you can come to Lisbon again after selling it. In addition, Your Majesty also specifically explained that you must control the amount of spices when selling it, so that you can ensure that the price of spices continues to rise."
