Chapter 477

Facts have proved that the problem cannot be solved by discussion.

After taking stock of the countries in the mainland, Pius VII just couldn't find a significant ally.

Except for the younger brother of the Holy See, the positions of various countries can be generally divided into two types: direct anti-Holy See and neutral anti-Holy See.

The representatives of the former are the Kingdom of Frank and the Kingdom of Alpha, while the representatives of the latter are the Kingdom of Iberia, the three countries in the middle mainland, and many small countries on the mainland.

Of course, the actual actions of all parties are one thing, and the verbal performance is another.

When the news of the establishment of the Holy See in the Frankish Kingdom came out, the Ilibians came out to condemn it immediately, and then their churches followed suit.

The performance of the three countries in mainland China is also very interesting. While calling on all parties to calm down, they sent people to participate in the separate Holy See conference initiated by the Frankish Kingdom.

The Alpha Kingdom only condemned a few words of atrocities committed by the Holy See, and did not come out to show their presence, but their church has completely copied all the institutions of the Holy See.

The heart of treason is all on the bright side, and no one will be surprised that the Holy See of the Northern Continent will emerge one day.

Fortunately, the Terran Alliance Council is not in session, otherwise the alliance will be tossed and collapsed if it continues to be so noisy.

Mediation is impossible. The major forces of the human race are the protagonists in the turmoil. Who dares to compare the remaining small countries!

There was no one inside the human race to persuade them to fight, and the alien alliance outside could not wait for them to fight directly, and everyone was busy fueling the flames behind their backs.

Fortunately, the gods care about the human race, and the major human forces are fighting among themselves, and the internal conflicts of the alien alliance are gradually intensified.

It is not easy to share adversity, but it is even more difficult to share wealth.

The previous distribution of spoils caused conflicts among several foreign families in the mainland, and the current internal trade imbalance has exacerbated such conflicts.

The protagonist of the storm is the Dwarf Kingdom, which is at the top of the trade chain by relying on its monopoly position in the arms market.

The elves also have vested interests. The dwarves forge weapons and equipment, and they send magicians to create magic circles for the equipment, occupying a dominant position in the field of high-end arms.

A piece of ordinary equipment can be exchanged for tons of grain and ore.Magic equipment is even more valuable, often requiring a tribe of ten thousand people to work for several years.

At the beginning, everyone didn't find any problems, after all, this is the market price.

The price of weapons remains high. In addition to technological monopoly, there is also opacity of information.

In the eyes of all ethnic groups, these advanced weapons must be expensive, and it is normal for them to be expensive.

As time goes by, the situation gradually changes.

Everyone was surprised to find that the production cost of these weapons and equipment was much lower than they expected.

Three to five times the profit, that is the friendly price after "breaking the bone".Huge profits of more than ten times are the norm.

It is possible for some masterpieces to be priced at a premium of a hundred times the production cost.

The more you know, the more unbalanced your mentality will inevitably be.Unwilling to be exploited, the various tribes jointly asked the dwarves for a price reduction.

There is no doubt that such "unreasonable demands" are naturally impossible to be agreed to.

The dwarves' weapons have always been in short supply, and because everyone is an ally, the supply is open to them.

If you want to buy it outside, you have to increase the price to be able to pick up the goods.

If you like to buy, buy it, if you don't buy it, you will fall down. The dwarf's main focus in business is straightforwardness.

The worst thing is the orcs. Because of the distance, they need to go around a large circle from the alien alliance's territory to purchase weapons and equipment.

After paying the toll along the way, the price that was already in the sky floated directly outside the atmosphere.

The high price is not the worst thing. What is even more tragic is that they are pure buyers, and domestic products cannot be sold at all.

It's not that the allies are deliberately lowering the price, it's entirely due to the geographical location.

The sea trade line was strictly blocked by the Alpha Kingdom, and the land line of communication had to pass through the world of ice and snow before being able to trade with the Alliance of the Ancient Remnants.

Poor traffic conditions have caused most of the commodities they produce to lose their transaction value.

Those that can be traded are left with some hard currency.For example: magic crystal, magic core, magic material.

Against this background, the Orc Empire didn't buy much weapons and equipment, but a large amount of wealth flowed out instead.

In the past, the best way to calm the trade deficit was to take the army to rob the human race.

At this moment, all the tribes in the Orc Empire are busy fighting among themselves, and they cannot cooperate with each other at all, and there is no way to talk about looting.

Of course, the most important reason is that there is nothing to grab right now.

The Near East is only the territory of the Alpha Kingdom on paper, and the ports are still being selected, so no one can touch them.

The seven provinces of northern Xinjiang have all been ravaged recently, leaving only land and remaining castles, and the farther north belongs to poor and hard bones.

Perhaps in the hearts of many orc tribes, the Alpha Kingdom is still looking forward to developing the Near East and cultivating "leeks".

Everyone has a lot of bad things to deal with, and the continent of Aslante has become peaceful.Except for the occasional orc tribe, the overall situation gradually stabilized.

The turmoil of establishing a separate Holy See is still going on, but Hudson is no longer worried.If the Holy See did not act immediately, it would mean resorting to diplomatic means to resolve the issue.

Obviously, this is the result of being forced out.

Without the support of all countries, the Holy See had no chance of winning when Lao Shi went on an expedition to the Frankish Kingdom.

If you want to 'kill chickens and monkeys', you can't find a suitable target.

Those who directly oppose the Holy See are not easy to provoke. There are so many heretics on the mainland. If they accidentally suffer heavy losses, it will really be the end.

Those who are neutral and anti-Holy See are slightly easier to bully, but the political influence is too bad.

Maybe the "chicken" didn't kill it, but instead forced the neutral faction to directly oppose the Holy See camp, making the situation even worse.

Those with vested interests are not stupid, so they naturally have to weigh the pros and cons.The more problems you think about, the less you dare to do it.

Seeing that the two sides were talking, Hudson was relieved.It's fine not to fight for a short period of time, and no one has the extravagant hope that the two overlords can live in peace.

If the Frankish Kingdom and the Holy See reconcile, the Alpha Kingdom will not be able to mix.

In the past, when the Kingdom dared to confront the Holy See, apart from the distance between the two sides, the most important thing was that the Franks stood in front of them.

In recent years, as long as the Holy See takes major actions, the Frankish Kingdom will definitely lag behind, and vice versa.

Only when the two major powers block each other can countries have a good life.

After putting down the information in his hands, Hudson continued to improve the Xueyue collar development plan with his staff.

"Duke, according to the kingdom's strategic plan for the Near East, we will be the first pioneers.

After considering various factors, the Ministry of Government Affairs believes that the initial development of the territory should focus on the port.

Orcs lack navigation skills, even if something happens, we can evacuate from the sea.

The first batch of immigrants were mainly fishermen.It can not only solve the meat problem of the frontline garrison, but also avoid the threat of orcs.

The Ministry of Government Affairs plans to send [-] fishermen to Xinyue Port after the successful opening of the port.

After gaining a firm foothold, gradually increase the number of immigrants.

Judging from the progress of port development, immigration work will start next year.It is estimated that in the year 99994 of the sacred calendar, we will bring 2 immigrants to Xueyue.

Three years later, the total number of immigrants in the area will exceed [-]! "

Jacob said vigorously.

They are all beneficiaries of Dongjin's development of Xueyueling this time.Although Hudson's cake painting technique is very rudimentary, it is definitely cross-age in the continent of Aslante.

In order to let his subordinates work hard, Master Hudson has already painted a beautiful picture for everyone after the development of the Xueyue collar is completed.

Status, status, glory and wealth are everything that one expects to have.For the purpose of guarding against orcs, Hudson even created a unique new aristocratic system.

There are naturally fief titles, but everyone does not need to manage them individually, but he, the feudal monarch, conducts unified planning and management, and everyone can directly share the profits and dividends.

Under normal circumstances, such a game would definitely be considered a conspiracy, but the Near East was an exception.

With the good neighbor of the orc, it is a miracle that the territory of the small and medium-sized nobles can make ends meet. If there is any carelessness, the territory will be destroyed.

Rather than living in a crisis every day, it is naturally better to manage in a unified manner and share risks together.

The power is limited, but the advantage is that the security is improved, and the initial development investment is saved!
For emerging nobles, the land reclamation period is the most accident-prone period.Many noble lords have fallen on this most critical link.

It's easy to follow Master Hudson. According to the construction plan of the new aristocratic system, they directly exempted the initial risks.

For the follow-up issue of rights, first join the potential group of nobles, and then consider after accumulating the first pot of gold in life!
The only fly in the ointment is that the threshold for joining this plan is very high. Only retainers who have made great contributions are eligible to obtain it, which is more difficult than obtaining a title of knighthood.

"There is nothing wrong with the plan, but it is too conservative. According to your plan, the Kingdom's Near East strategy cannot be completed on time.

Crescent Port is not only the port of Xueyue Territory, but also the kingdom's largest military port in the Near East.In addition to undertaking the development of the territory, it also supports the construction of other nobles' territories.

To put it simply, after the opening of Crescent Port, we not only need to gain a firm foothold in the local area, but also provide follow-up material guarantees for the Near Eastern lords.

The first batch of 30 immigrants can remain unchanged, but next year we will send at least [-] immigrants to the Near East. Three years later, the total local population will not be less than [-].

Considering the reaction of the orcs, it is better to place all the settlements of immigrants in the early stage in the coastal areas.

Open up the thinking mode, the territory of Xueyue Territory only has borders with the human race, and other areas have no borders.

I remember that the eastern coast of the Orc Empire was mostly swamps and saline-alkali land, and there were very few orc tribes living in the area. This is an opportunity.

It is not suitable for farming and animal husbandry, and does not affect fishing. For a long time to come, the pillar industry of Xueyueling will be fishery.

Find areas suitable for defense and set up settlements first.

The terrain over there is not suitable for a large army to deploy. Even if the orcs come to attack, there will not be too many troops.

With the convenience of sea transportation, we can easily form a military advantage over the enemy on a local battlefield.

The immigrants in the early stage all did not bring their family members. They were civilians in peacetime and soldiers in wartime.

I will greet the kingdom's magician group and let them clean up the reefs near the east coast to ensure that ships under [-] tons can navigate freely! "

Hudson's words shocked everyone.

I can only sigh with emotion deep in my heart: worthy of being the marshal of the kingdom, doing things is domineering!
No one dared to think about using the mage masters of the magician group as laborers.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be done by Hudson.If other nobles dare to make this request to the magician group, they just wait to be beaten!
The offshore reefs have been cleared, the main sea arteries have been unblocked, and everything has changed.

On the whole, the kingdom is still passive in the Near East, but some areas have gained the initiative.

If we continue to clean up along the coast of the Orc Empire, the future orc prairie will be full of landing points for the kingdom's army.

Of course, this is just an ideal state.Once the orcs discover the kingdom's plan, they will definitely take measures to destroy it.

"Duke, the immigration plan has expanded so much at once, and the capacity of the territory may not be able to meet it.

Especially in the early stage, the construction of strategic infrastructure for the development of the Near East and the garrison of the Kingdom all depend on obtaining supplies from the sea.

It is estimated that the idle shipping capacity along the southeast coast will be requisitioned by the kingdom, and it is difficult to hire enough ships even if it costs money.

It is mainly the aftermath of the ghost ship disaster. Foreign ships have lingering fears about this route, and few shipowners accept orders.

If you want the plan to proceed smoothly, you also need to coordinate your relationship with several great nobles along the coast, especially the relationship with the Dalton family. "

Kane suggested along the way.

Commanding the boss to work, no one else.But this kind of work can only be done by Hudson.

When other people came forward, they couldn't even see these great nobles, let alone let them squeeze out their precious transport capacity to help.

"Then invite Earl Pierce for me. The situation is different now, and the relationship between our two families should also change."

Hudson said with a smile.

This is the case in the noble world, friend and foe are never absolute.

In the past, the Koslow family and the Dalton family nestled together in the southeastern province, and they were proper competitors.

Now that the Koslow family is moving eastward strategically, it is not worth the loss if they continue to fight with the Dalton family in the southeastern province.

In a short period of time, it is true that the land in the southeastern province is more fertile and the economy is more developed, but the future is not certain.

The biggest advantage of Xueyue Territory is that its boundaries are blurred. Except for the areas bordering the lords of the kingdom, the rest of the areas are not clearly demarcated.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Hudson has the ability, he can continue to expand to the orc empire.

This expansion is supported by legal principles.Whether it is the Human Race Alliance or the Alpha Kingdom, the law clearly stipulates that human lords are encouraged to expand to other races.

To sum it up in one sentence, all the land taken from foreign races is legal!

Regardless of whether the aliens recognize it or not, the human world does anyway.

Theoretically speaking, if a commoner snatches a piece of land from a foreign race, as long as he can hold it, he can legally become a local lord.

As for the rank of title, no one has ever thought about this issue, because no one has ever eaten this piece of cake.

When the human race dared to write such provisions in legal form, it had already become the hegemony of the mainland, and the aristocratic system had long been perfected.
