Banner of the Evil God

The rumbling of cars, the neighing of horses, and the pedestrians with bows and arrows on their waists.

The long team walked on the not very wide road, like a long dragon, with no end in sight, winding from the eastern horizon to the western horizon.

This is the migration team of the merchants of the Gold Coin Federation.

In order to avoid war, the goddess of wealth finally proposed the idea of ​​"merchants to the north, nobles to the south", dividing the huge Gold Coin Federation into two.

Although the middle and lower-level small merchants and small nobles had a lot of opinions about this, the upper-level big merchants and big nobles accepted this suggestion after negotiations.

In any case, this is better than fighting.

Although they all wanted to kill each other and rob all the wealth of each other, even the noble faction with the advantage did not really have a great chance of winning.

In other words, even if the entire aristocratic faction has a chance of winning, a specific noble himself may not be sure that the benefits his family will gain in the future war that will sweep the entire Gold Coin Federation can make up for the losses.

In this case, it would be better if it could not be lost.

So despite the opposition of the nobles in the north and the merchants in the south, the matter was finally settled.

After it was settled, it was a long migration.

Merchants went north, and nobles went south.

This is probably the largest migration since the great migration of mankind. The total population involved on both sides may be close to one million.

Originally, the merchants suggested that everyone only migrate property and families, not the people in the territory - they even said that they could use money to redeem the people of the nobles. But after some discussion, the nobles in the north finally said that they wanted to leave and leave the land, and not leave enough people for the merchants.

On the one hand, this is to prevent the merchants from becoming powerful, and on the other hand, it is to have enough strength to compete for the territory after going to the south.

The merchants in the south migrated away, naturally leaving behind many areas they had operated for many years. In order to occupy these areas, of course, a lot of people are needed. The farming model chosen by the nobles requires far more people than merchants. If the population in the north is not migrated, it will be difficult for the nobles who have changed their territories to have enough manpower to farm.

More importantly, these people are the foundation of their rule. Their army also comes from them. If they are left behind, it means that their army will lose its foundation. Even if it is not obvious in a short time, after a long time, you will find that their army is getting smaller and smaller.

The central government of the Gold Coin Federation is not strong, and the noble lords have many private battles and fights, which can be called a chaotic world. If there is no reliable army, even if they go to the south, they are nothing more than a group of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

The southern merchants found that the nobles in the north were actually going to migrate their population, so they naturally refused to do it. They protested very angrily, and even made the great nobles feel pressured.

However, in front of the northern noble alliance that had made up their minds and reached a consensus, the face and authority of the great nobles were not useful.

Faced with the persuasion and threats of the great nobles, the representatives of the Northern Noble Alliance had no intention of giving in. They directly expressed that they did not trust the other party and wanted to ensure that the nobles who moved south had enough power to protect themselves.

This statement was completely torn apart, but the great nobles really had no way to refute it.

In fact... their original plan was to devour these nobles who moved south and eat them up completely.

These plans were of course not to be seen in the light. If they could have been kept secret, it would have been fine. Now that they were clearly exposed, no matter how thick-skinned they were, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

In addition to embarrassment, they were more angry.

Seeing a large piece of fat meat about to fall into their mouths, but now they were actually running away, how could they not be angry?

But the attitude of the nobles who moved south was very fierce, and they even put on the attitude of "at worst, everyone will break up, and the civil war in the Gold Coin Federation will be a civil war", and they were unwilling to give in even a little bit.

For them, leaving their homes that they had run for many years and going to the south to open up again was already very hard. It was impossible to ask them to give in a little bit.

In fact, many nobles who migrated south have already contacted each other privately. When they arrived in the south, the first thing they did was to send troops together to beat the nearby southern nobles first, first consolidate their rule, and then strive to expand their territory.

Several powerful nobles who migrated south have even set their sights on the two marquises of the Gold Coin Federation, wanting to knock them down from their high thrones.

A group of jackals migrated. To determine their status, they could of course bully rabbits and goats in the migration area, but the most appropriate way was to bite the local wolf king to death.

Even netizens on Earth know the joke "If I kill the panda, I will be a national treasure", how could these ruthless nobles not know?

... Hehe, if it weren't for the possibility of grabbing benefits, it would not be so easy to get these nobles to give up their northern territories and migrate to the south!

Seeing that the nobles were carrying a large number of people to migrate south, the merchant faction that originally planned to travel light to the north naturally changed their minds. They spent money crazily, prepared a large amount of food, recruited a large number of people, formed a large pioneering team, and headed north.

The nobles in the south naturally did not want their subjects to leave - the subjects were the foundation of the lord's rule. Without the subjects, the lord would be left alone. In the frequent fighting of the Gold Coin Federation, a noble left alone was worse than a dog!

At least a dog would not stay in its den peacefully, just to have a Galen jump down from the sky and turn it into dog meat.

So they immediately took action to stop it, but this time the merchant faction took a very firm attitude and even issued a war threat.

Who doesn't understand the importance of population? If there are not enough people in the north, what's the point of going there!

Facing the threat of war from the merchant faction, the great nobles had to do the work of those small and medium nobles, and even used force to forcibly suppress two lords who wanted to prevent the people from being hired away.

Of course, they also set a rule that merchants can only hire no more than 30% of the population from the same territory.

As a result, this 30% almost became 30% of the entire south.

In general, the south of the Gold Coin Federation is richer than the north, and the population density is higher. The 30% population of the entire southern region has exceeded more than 60% of the total population of the northern region.

Such a number of people can almost meet the needs of merchants. Even if there are still some vacancies, there will still be a lot of people left in the north.

After all… the north is not just populated by aristocrats, there are also many merchants.

So, the merchants went north, the aristocrats went south, and the long dragon of countless migrants meandered across the land, slowly moving in their respective directions.
