Yes, Madam Prime Minister

“Open your mouth and take it in,” Ronan said.

Lu Jianling grasped the object with one hand, then opened her mouth and took it in.

Seeing Lu Jianling suck on the face of his enormous member, Ronan's penis was instantly aroused and began to swell and engorge.

“Hiss, uh, take it in deeper,” Ronan continued.

Lu Jianling silently did as she was told, but as soon as she went deeper, the thing suddenly grew much larger. Ronan couldn't help but secretly thrust forward a little, and she let out a muffled groan and immediately spat it out, looking disgusted.

Ronan looked on expectantly, "Sword Feather, try again."

"No." Lu Jianling refused.

“Then try it with your foot,” Ronan said again.

"No," Lu Jianling replied.

Ronan pounced on the tall Lu Jianling, grabbing her large breasts with both hands. "I think you want to experience something amazing."

“Impressive, huh? I don’t believe it,” Lu Jianling said. She was a little overwhelmed at first, and by the end of the second time, Ronan had left her somewhat dazed. Ronan’s so-called prowess was nothing more than being faster and more intense.

“I didn’t use any techniques those two times.” Ronan grabbed Lu Jianling’s white-stockinged ankles with both hands, lifted her legs up and brought them together, with the soles of her feet pointing straight up. “I can whip egg whites, you know that?”

Lu Jianling was taken aback. What do you mean by whipping egg whites?

As a Seresian, she genuinely didn't know that meringue was needed for baking cakes.

While she was still wondering what whipping egg whites meant, Ronan had already inserted one of his penises. Lu Jianling's legs were pressed together, and since it was already tight there, the insertion made her groan softly.

Just when she thought it would be the same as before, Ronan used his technique, thrusting in and out while simultaneously twisting at a high frequency.

Lu Jianling's physical potential may be high, but it is not yet fully developed, and it is covered with layers of folds, making it very sensitive. At this moment, it feels like a fleshy hammer that is getting harder and bigger inside her, poking and stirring her.

Water overflowed frantically as a lubricant, but the stimulation still made her jaw clench, her breathing heavy, and her hands gripping the carpet tightly. She tried to spread her legs apart to loosen the area, but Ronan held her ankles, keeping her legs upright.

After a short while, unable to reach Ronan's deer sword feathers, it started whimpering and occasionally patting the ground, signaling Ronan to stop.

However, Ronan didn't stop at all. Instead, he intensified his efforts, pulling out and rapidly rotating and grinding his head against her lips, not even sparing her clitoris. After grinding for a while, he suddenly thrust it all the way in, continuing to thrust in and out while stirring vigorously. After a short while, he pulled out again and rotated and ground it.

Stirring things up from the inside out, providing a double stimulus.

When it was pulled out for the third time, Lu Jianling's inner thighs and lower abdomen convulsed violently. Ronan retreated abruptly, and Lu Jianling's legs hit the ground. At the same time, a stream of liquid shot out from there like a water gun, forming an arc in mid-air. Lu Jianling let out a long scream that she could not control, and then collapsed to the ground, her chest contracting violently as she gasped for breath.

Ronan stood high above Lu Jianling, looking down at him with a mixture of provocation and smugness. "How about that? You really came in less than a minute. You think I'm the one with the bigger thing? I just didn't use any techniques before."

Lu Jianling did not respond and was still breathing heavily.

After a short while, Ronan resumed his erection and leaned over again, but Lu Jianling suddenly squeezed her thighs together and covered his private parts with both hands.

She didn't know how to describe the feeling she had just experienced. It wasn't pain, nor did she know if it was pleasure. It was a strange feeling, as if her soul had flown away and she had died and then come back to life.

"What's wrong?" Ronan asked.

"Fine, you're so great, I'm scared of you now," Lu Jianling said, her voice tinged with annoyance.

Ronan lay down on his side next to Lu Jianling. "Don't worry, I won't do that again. Be good, let go, spread your legs."

"No." Lu Jianling insisted.

Ronan pulled Lu Jianling up and quickly made her sit down. He then stood up and placed the head of his penis near her lips. Lu Jianling looked aggrieved, but Ronan didn't say anything. She opened her mouth and took the head of his penis in.

Ronan looked at Lu Jianling and said softly, "Licking it with your tongue is like licking candy."

Lu Jianling did as instructed.

And so, Ronan gradually taught Lu Jianling his ventriloquism, word by word, and slowly, Lu Jianling began to master it.

"Well, yes, that's it."

Seemingly annoyed by Ronan's way of dominating her, Lu Jianling raised her hand and grasped Ronan's manhood, gently scraping it with her teeth. Ronan cried out in pain, and Lu Jianling felt that she had regained a lot. Then, she took it in even deeper.

Chapter 893 Completely Resolve the Knot, Actively Request, and Arrange a Committee

When Lu Jianling's cheeks started to feel a little sore, he immediately patted Ronan's thigh. Ronan understood and stepped back, pulling out his saliva-covered penis. Lu Jianling was finally able to breathe smoothly.

Ronan leaned down again, his head parting Ronan's lips, and gently inserted himself. Lu Jianling placed his hands on Ronan's shoulder blades, let out a long, comfortable breath, and naturally parted his legs.

After inserting most of it, Ronan suddenly grinned mischievously, "Jianling, with such strong desires and such a high threshold, how have you managed to get through these past twenty years?"

Lu Jianling slapped Ronan hard on the back. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ronan reached out and gently stroked Lu Jianling's cheek. "Are you talking nonsense? The first time, you were still getting used to it. The second time, you were close to climaxing. Not long ago, I used my ultimate technique to make you truly climax. And now, you still look like you want more. Your threshold is so high. That's only because of me. If it were an ordinary person, even if they were to go crazy, you probably wouldn't feel much."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jianling immediately closed his eyes and turned his head away, remaining silent.

She couldn't accept that she was someone with strong sexual desires and difficulty finding satisfaction, because according to her upbringing, a woman with strong desires who was also difficult to satisfy was simply...

“Actually, it’s nothing. Just like you are so beautiful, is that a mistake?” Ronan said slowly and calmly in a deep voice. “Once upon a time, there was a precious sword. A person accidentally obtained it, but he couldn’t use it well. He was resentful and abandoned it, even blaming the sword. The sword was not wrong, and that person was not wrong either. It was just that fate played a joke on him.”

Ronan did not slander Lu Jianling's deceased husband, because only in this way could a person as affectionate and righteous as Lu Jianling completely let go and truly accept Ronan as a person.

"Mmm." Lu Jianling turned her face back and responded softly, clamping her legs around Ronan. Her calves, tightly wrapped in white silk, crossed behind Ronan's waist, and she slowly pressed down, causing Ronan to penetrate deeper.

At this moment, she truly began to actively seek.

Their intimacy began from that moment.

It wasn't as fast or intense as before, and there were no special techniques. It was just ordinary penetration, without even changing the position. He would only occasionally grab, knead, and lick her breasts, and it felt so good.

I feel like I'm gradually warming up, my whole body is melting little by little, but it's still missing that little bit.

After a while, Lu Jianling suddenly couldn't help but roll over with Ronan in her arms, into a woman-on-top position. She lowered her body so that Ronan could always suckle her nipple.

She moved, and Ronan moved too.

Every shift in posture is natural, requiring no words or awkward movements.

And her feelings grew stronger and stronger.

Back and forth like this, half an hour passed without them realizing it. At this time, Ronan was lying on the bottom, while the tall and long-legged Lu Jianling was lying on top of Ronan. Ronan held her thighs and spread them wide apart, while Ronan's legs were between her legs. He kicked his legs and thrust his waist upwards, constantly thrusting in and out.

Finally, with a quick thrust, Ronan ejaculated.

Lu Jianling couldn't wait to get off, excitedly hugged Luo Nan, and kissed him, as if a wife who had been separated for many years had finally waited for her husband's return and could no longer control herself.

After a long while, the two parted ways again.

"Sword Feather," Ronan called softly.

"Hmm?" Lu Jianling asked, puzzled.

"Your eldest son will temporarily go to oversee the manufacture of military equipment. He can learn how to make extraordinary weapons. Your second son will take over your task of training soldiers. We'll see how things go from there. As for the third son, there's no need to say anything about him." Ronan began to arrange things for his three adopted sons.

"Okay, sure," Lu Jianling replied.

“As for you, after we go back and rest for two days, you can go to Guangxi; they need you there,” Ronan said.

Lu Jianling nodded again, then asked, "You still haven't said how you're going to deal with the Guangzhou Navy."

"Let me ask you a question first: why do you think the imperial court believes that Admiral Pei has the potential to rebel?" Ronan said.

Lu Jianling's first reaction was a "you're joking" look. How could the navy rebel? Putting aside the fact that the navy's investment is enormous, the cost of maintaining the navy is also a huge sum. Suddenly, she seemed to understand, "You mean, the imperial court is reducing the navy's military spending? Impossible, are they crazy?"

"What is the first step in local resistance to the central government? It is falsifying tax reports." Ronan asked himself and answered his own question. What he meant was that as the prestige of the imperial court plummeted, some people in the localities became restless, and the taxes that should have been handed over to the imperial court were intercepted by the localities under various pretexts, causing a sharp decline in the imperial court's revenue.

"Impossible, war is about to break out." Lu Jianling still thought it was impossible. If Annam were to attack, the imperial court would squeeze out money to support the navy, no matter what.

"Uh, can Annan break in?" Ronan asked again.

"Absolutely impossible. They can manage to defend themselves, but to think they can attack is wishful thinking. With the Zhennan Military Command and the Dongtianzhu Military Command located at opposite ends of Annam, Annam cannot possibly send out its entire force. Of the remaining troops, my 12,000 elite soldiers, plus local forces, are more than enough to repel them. And the navy goes without saying; the Guangzhou Navy has twenty large warships and over a hundred medium and small vessels—Anna doesn't even have half that number." Lu Jianling stated with absolute certainty. Previously, their Great Wei had been defeated because they launched an offensive; the court wanted to win, but the soldiers were unwilling to fight to the death. Conversely, a passive defense would be a different story.

"Right? So, even if we don't pay for now, we can still defeat our opponents, right?" Ronan countered.

Lu Jianling was stumped by the question.

Reason told her that the imperial court couldn't possibly do something so foolish, but experience told her that it could.

"Since the imperial court won't give it to them, can they borrow it?" Ronan continued.

"Borrow?" Lu Jianling was completely baffled.

“There’s such a large customs house here, and the customs duties belong to the imperial court, so let’s borrow some from the imperial court,” Ronan said.

"What do you mean by 'borrow'? It's clearly robbery!" Lu Jianling wanted to correct Ronan.

"But within the navy, there are many factions, making it difficult to reach a consensus. However, it is precisely because reaching a consensus is difficult that there is room for maneuver."

Ronan said.

Within the Guangzhou Navy, senior officers were actually divided into three major factions: the local faction, the southeastern faction, and the northern faction. The local faction, consisting mainly of people from Guangdong, was numerous, but lacked high-ranking officers. The southeastern faction, comprised of people from the southeastern coast, was represented by Pei Jinghai, the highest-ranking officer. Frankly, the court could not allow locals to control this naval force. The northern faction, comprised of people from the north and east, held many high positions but lacked a strong base at the lower levels of the navy. They were effectively government officials, functioning as supervisors; neither locals nor easterners could be trusted.

If we break it down further, there are also various smaller groups such as those formed by people born in the same year or from the same hometown.

"I want to build a platform for them to peacefully resolve disputes, so that everyone can work together to face difficulties. By the way, the same goes for the army."

Ronan said.

The point is to take this opportunity to first establish a temporary joint military defense committee, then remove the word "defense," then remove the word "temporary," and finally remove the word "joint."

As for the chairman, it's yet to be determined.

Chapter 894 Return, Two Troubles, Lottery for Money

Before dawn, inside the yurt, for the last time, Ronan ejaculated onto Lu Jianling's white stockings.

Lu Jianling took off her white stockings, wiped her feet clean, and then wiped Ronan's feet as well. Only then did the two of them go to sleep.

They slept until the afternoon, and only woke up when the sun was about to set. After waking up, they left and set off back to Foshan, Guangdong.

Back in Foshan, everyone went home.

They had just arrived home when it was already dinnertime. After eating, Elena and Agustina called Ronan aside.

Both of them had something to say.

Since Ronan and Dinia left, Elena and Agustina have been handling most of the public affairs.

Elena was personally trained by Ronan and has an extremely rich resume: black glove, white glove, secretary, guild leader, bank supervisor. It can be said that she has mastered Ronan's skills and knows all of his tricks.

First, establish a project that will benefit many in power. Start the project and establish a new agency. Once the new agency is established, expand its staff and recruit people. Use these people to carry out a certain degree of power transition. Once the power transition is complete, use the new in power to implement new policies. The process of implementing new policies is enough to carry out a real power reshuffle.

This tactic tricked countless nobles and priests of the Kingdom of Phos into willingly falling into the trap, ultimately forcing them to accept the changes.

This time, Elena is preparing to launch a series of infrastructure projects, including water conservancy, roads and bridges, and docks, all of which are good projects that can not only strengthen the economy but also benefit the people.

However, Foshan doesn't have enough money. Strictly speaking, it's not that it doesn't have enough, but rather that most of Foshan's output value has to be handed over to the central government.

However, there were many wealthy people in Foshan at this time, so Elena naturally prepared to borrow money. As a businessman, she naturally distrusted the government, so Elena planned to establish a bank—a bank, not a money exchange—to operate the funds and launch the project.

As for the benefits for merchants, well, they get paid for it, of course.

It's a very common and old-fashioned approach. Elena's goal isn't these projects, but the bank itself. Only with a bank can there be finance, and only with finance can we truly launch large-scale construction and move into a new era.

Ronan once said that a teacher named Ma said, "If we had to wait for the accumulation of capital to grow to the point where it was possible to build a railway, then there probably wouldn't be a railway in the world today." Elena didn't know what a railway was, but she had a slight understanding of this principle.

However, Elena's proposal for this project was met with immediate opposition.

Her opponent was Wang Pingzhen, who had always been relatively unknown. He was nominally the second most powerful person in Foshan, but in reality, he didn't have much power and was only responsible for some miscellaneous agricultural matters.

Wang Pingzhen, the head of the agricultural administration, did not say things like "Our great Celestial Empire takes agriculture as its foundation and cannot put the cart before the horse," "Giving merchants the right to charge fees is harmful to the people and violates ancestral laws," or "Such a project should be approved by the imperial court."

He pointed out a crucial issue: the relationship between banks and engineering projects would lead to the buying and selling of "debt," with unimaginable consequences.

Ronan was stunned when he heard this.

Seeing Ronan's expression, Elena smiled and said, "Right? I was surprised too. I didn't expect Seris to have such a high-level official. He's just a seventh-rank official, yet he's in charge of supervising agricultural affairs. His knowledge is probably far superior to that Minister of Revenue who can't even handle tax collection properly."

To illustrate the sale of debt, imagine Zhang San takes a fancy to a piece of land worth 100 taels of silver. He wants to buy it, but he doesn't have enough money. So he borrows money from Li Si, promising to repay Li Si 150 taels of silver in installments over three years, with interest, and uses the land deed as collateral. Li Si is naturally happy to lend the money, and the two sign a contract. Then Li Si turns around and finds Wang Wu, wanting to resell the contract to him for 130 taels. Wang Wu is happy to do so; he's wealthy, why wouldn't he make a profit?

Having settled everything, Li Si was satisfied. He spent a little money, talked a bit, and made a net profit of thirty taels of silver. He didn't need to do anything else; he just needed to find more Zhang Sans to settle things.

Before banks existed, this kind of operation would have been impossible. The government would not guarantee such contracts, and people with some wealth would not trust merchants and would rather save money slowly.

As for how the bank's credit is established, it will naturally come into being once this series of projects is completed.

If there are more people like Li Si, funds will start to circulate rapidly, creating a bubble-like prosperity.

For a Seresian to see this far is truly remarkable.

"What do you plan to do?" Elena asked Ronan.

“I’ll go and talk to him,” Ronan replied. “Sometimes, you have to have a bigger picture.”

Development will inevitably bring problems, but we can't stop developing just because of that, right? Besides, the future is going to be a rebellion. Without banks, how can we fully activate Guangdong's economy, unleash its potential, unify the south, and win this North-South war?

To be honest, the current conflicts in Seris are somewhat reminiscent of the North-South divide in another timeline of the United States, only the roles are reversed. In Seris, the South is dominated by capitalists and pirates, while the North is dominated by large landowners and village militia.

After Elena finished her report, it was Asgutina's turn.
