Great Nobleman

“That’s pretty much the thing about demons.

Although this matter has a far-reaching impact from a macro perspective.

But for us, there is actually no need to deliberately invest too much energy.

If it's beneficial, just get a handful of it depending on the situation.

Our current focus is still on our own development and trade with elves. "

After a brief summary.

Several elders quickly turned the topic to their return visit to the Elf Forest.

In fact, this issue is just a paper idea before the meeting of nobles has really started.

In order to return to the Elf Forest in the name of the empire, it is necessary to build a large number of qualified ships.

But as far as the current situation is concerned.

Ninety-nine percent of the noble families in the empire do not meet this condition.

Like their Morning Flower Territory, apart from the Silver Phoenix, there are only a few small ordinary ships of trial type.

This kind of ship can sail normally if it is in calm and safe waters.

But if you are in the endless sea, not only encountering Warcraft, but also encountering larger winds and waves may cause the ship to sink!

With such low basic performance, if magical means are used to enhance it.

It feels like drawing a runic circle on a scrap product, a waste of materials and a waste of time.

While thinking.

Lord Romine said:

"With His Majesty the Emperor's resolute style, he will definitely advocate that we speed up the formation of the fleet and return to the Elf Forest as soon as possible.

Therefore, in the next period of time, qualified nobles will definitely try to build docks and build sea-going ships.

But in fact, when we return to the Elf Forest later, we don’t actually need all coastal territories to be able to build qualified sea ships.

As long as our empire can pull out a fleet of similar size to the one visited by the Elf Forest, the return visit plan can officially begin.

When that time comes, His Majesty the Emperor will certainly not hesitate.

So, Brand, you need to speed up your research on shipbuilding.

Before the time comes for us to return to the Elf Forest, the more qualified ships you have at your disposal, the more benefits you will be able to reap.

In addition to being able to carry more cargo.

You can also rent the cabin to us, and the price we offer will definitely satisfy you! "

The topic suddenly turned to him.

Brand also spread his hands and said:

“Our craftsmen in Chenhualing may not be able to build a relatively high-quality ship in the short term.

This may disappoint Uncle Romine.

In contrast, it may be more reliable to buy a boat directly from someone else. "

Hearing this, Mr. Cecil quickly shook his head and said:

"Except for His Majesty the Emperor, the ships built by other nobles of the empire must be reserved for their own use.

Although His Majesty the Emperor may have excess, they must be very popular.

In contrast, perhaps it is better to think of ways to strengthen the ships built by the craftsmen.

Although these ships are 'innately deficient', if they can only be strengthened to the extent that they can participate in return visits.

The cost should be acceptable. "

After hearing this and thinking briefly, Brand shook his head and said:

“Although Uncle Cecil is right, we have limited manpower after all.

There are also many construction matters in Chenhualing, and you should also know these things. "

Speaking of this, Brand suddenly became curious as he looked at the senior men in front of him who were all staring at him:

"Are some of the great gentlemen trying to get involved?"

Seeing that Brand already understood what they meant.

The elders didn't show off any more.

Master Claude smiled and said:

“Your side is tight on manpower, but we can still manage to spare a lot of manpower.

The idea is that your shipyards in Morning Bloom are responsible for building the ships, and we are responsible for further strengthening them.

The final finished ship will be used by us together, depending on the amount of effort. "

Hearing this, Brand nodded happily, considering that the ships built by the shipyard were not of much use.

——This can be regarded as the utilization of waste products!

After reaching an agreement on this matter.

They talked about another more important topic:

Maintain the safety of maritime routes on both sides!

Previously, under the escort of [Emerald Heart] and many elven warships.

The elves' caravan successfully crossed the sea to the north of the snowy mountains.

All the monsters along the way were exterminated and the environment along the way was carefully explored.

Some time ago, [Emerald Heart] arrived at the Imperial Royal Port.

All the intelligence collected by the elves and various inferences based on the intelligence have been shared with them in the Kaya Empire.

When receiving an invitation to a meeting of nobles, the palace official also sent a complete version of the information for reference.

Although there is quite a lot of content, Brand only read a rough outline.

However, Brand is quite clear about some summary content:

The sea area north of the Snowy Mountains is still relatively dangerous, even though they have exterminated and expelled the ocean monsters along the way.

But because the Year of Tides has just passed, the next few years, even more than ten years will come.

The ocean monsters in the Endless Sea will be in a relatively active state.

——At any time, there may be ocean monsters of unknown strength entering the sea lanes between them north of the Snowy Mountains from other places!

In addition, as trade between the two sides becomes increasingly frequent.

There are many merchant ships in the sea lanes, and it is not without the possibility of being targeted.

——In addition to the pirates wandering outside the world of order, there are also many intelligent races living in the Endless Sea.

Based on this background, the elves proposed:

It is up to both of them to jointly maintain the safety and stability of this maritime channel.

The specific measure is to establish a military garrison in the middle of the waterway, with each side sending troops to garrison, and then jointly conduct routine patrols on the waterway.

Once a merchant ship along the way encounters trouble, the patrol team or the military stationed there will be able to set out immediately to provide help and rescue.

There is no doubt that this is a great idea.

However, there are still many matters that need to be discussed in terms of specific implementation.

For example, the number and specific location of the garrison, their respective scope of responsibility, the composition of the patrol team, the source of military expenditures for the patrol team, etc.

In addition to the details of these implementation processes.

In fact, there is still a problem.

Their empire also has garrison troops of similar nature in other places.

——The border guard regiments stationed at various land borders of the empire!

Some of these legions belong to the imperial royal family, and some belong to some nobles of the empire.

Their military expenditures come from the powerful elite of the entire Kaya Empire.

In another two years, when the basic construction of the northern border is completed, the administrative regions will be officially divided.

Their Morning Flower Leader also incurs such an expenditure every year to "maintain the stability of the empire."

And because of the huge area of ​​Chenhualing and the functions of coastal ports.

Compared with other places in the interior, this expenditure will be greater.

Brand has already thought of ways to avoid this:

Let them, Chenhua Ling, take over the guarding work in the waters north of the territory and on the border of the empire!

In this way, in addition to saving this expenditure, they can even gain a military expenditure!

This time, the elves proposed to establish stations and conduct patrols in waterways outside the national borders.

In the eyes of nobles like them, it can actually be said to be a special extension of the national border!

——The troops have been sent there and no outsiders are allowed to get close. Doesn’t this mean that this place has been occupied by them?

Waiting for their control over this area to gradually increase.

In addition to maintaining the stability of business channels, are there other things they can do in these places?

Putting aside everything else, it’s always okay to catch a fish, right?

Furthermore, if there are any marine resources, can they also exploit them?
