Great Nobleman

Because he hadn’t seen Andy for a long time, Brand also chatted with him in a relaxed mood.

Andy, who has always been an elite in the empire, also happily talked about his little experiences and views in recent days:

"Although the continental war on the front line is in full swing.

But for the people in the rear who are not directly affected by the war, whether they are ordinary humans or elves, their lives are still going on.

In addition, many of the people's needs have only been changed and suppressed because of concerns about the war, and have not disappeared directly.

For example, the people's demand for various commodities has always existed.

It's just that they now prefer practicality and various commodities that can protect themselves in the war.

Because of the threat of war and illegal immigrants from the outside world, many lords in the eastern part of our empire, near the Snow Mountain Range, have implemented strict daily curfews in their respective territories for safety reasons, restricted public gatherings, and stopped many risky commodity transportation behaviors.

In this case, many wealthy local people are very much looking forward to the revival of business and the circulation of commodities.

What they want is not only the daily necessities and common things that are available in their respective cities every day. .

And if it is a merchant with a small family, he will miss the days when trade was popular in the past.

The large inventory of goods in the place of origin has been waiting to be shipped out and sold at a good price.

The large amount of magic gold coins in their hands have been waiting to buy what they need elsewhere, or even to make a new round of purchases and investments.

Based on this consideration, we have also come up with various ways to meet the people's needs for the circulation of goods and special purchases while ensuring safety as much as possible.

For example, some lords ordered the gathering of relatively scattered trade transportation.

The local nobles took the lead in organizing the transportation of goods and provided comprehensive armed protection, organizing the people and merchants to transport goods within a certain area and fixed time period.

At the same time, this kind of transportation can also be combined with the custom of "trade day" that has disappeared for a long time in many places because of the prevalence of commerce.

Every day, the business of the town will flourish again.

And because of the time gathering, we can also more calmly ensure public security and avoid giving our enemies opportunities. "

Listen to Andy talking about these territorial management matters.

After some recollection, Brand nodded and said:

"Because our East Sea Province is also located in the eastern part of the empire, not far from the Snowy Mountains.

And recently, there have been occasional illegal immigrants in the uncontrolled wild areas nearby.

So although we did not maintain martial law for a long time, it was not much better.

But Chris had previously developed a very detailed plan to promote business during the war.

The general content is somewhat similar to what you said, and the nobles in the county all agree with it. It is now being tested in Fanhua County.

Although I have been busy recently, the relevant documents were signed by me personally.

At the beginning and middle of every month, the streets of various towns in Fanhua County will be very busy.

In order to eliminate various potential risks, the local city guards will be very busy at this time."

Andy smiled and said:

"This This busyness is not meaningless. We have also collected a lot of tax revenue, right?

It has been nearly half a year since the undead appeared in the Snowy Mountains and the Empire was under full martial law.

And judging from the current situation, the war between us and the Rios Continent will inevitably continue for a long time, and we can't say when the war will end.

So the business of our empire cannot be sluggish all the time.

In addition, it is not just within our empire.

Based on the threat of war, our maritime trade with the Forest of Elves has basically stopped during this period.

And similarly, the trade needs of both sides have always existed.

Like this time, with the official forces of the Forest of Elves taking the lead, the merchants and people of the elves directly showed enthusiasm beyond our original expectations. "

At the end, Andy pointed to the huge fleet sailing behind him.

Then, he continued:

"At the next noble meeting, I plan to propose to the Empire that the Empire reach an agreement with the Forest of Elves.

Every once in a while, a joint cross-sea trade will be held under the leadership of the Empire.

Just like a few years ago when we just opened up the sea route.

We now have a floating port military base to escort the sea trade route, plus a group of specially allocated troops.

I think even if we face the threat of the sea race, we are not without the confidence to deal with it!

What do you think of this idea?"

After hearing this, after thinking for a moment, Brand smiled and nodded:

"I fully support your idea, and I will help you canvass for votes when the time comes.

Although the prosperity of shipping will certainly further attract the covetousness of the marine races.

They may even include our empire as one of the targets of frequent invasions.

But our navy, numerous warships, and even the floating port military bases on the sea routes are not for show.

As long as they are not afraid of death, they can come."

Hearing Brand's tough words, Andy couldn't help but joked:

"I knew that you, a pro-war radical, would definitely not care about external threats!

But making this happen is not just to maintain the empire's business and development.

This is actually an important means for our empire and even the human alliance to always maintain friendly exchanges with the Elf Forest.

In the future continental wars, we need a reliable close ally.

You should have heard about it, right?

The Orc Empire has recently been somewhat ambiguous about blocking the Rios continent and supporting the battlefield in the Snowy Mountains. "

Speaking of this, Brand also nodded and said:

"Sister Sonia and the Foreign Affairs Department have been paying attention to related issues recently.

The Orc Empire has repeatedly delayed the departure time of the new batch of support.

In addition, this matter seems to have started with the large-scale activity of illegal immigrants from the Rios continent and the spread of the undead heritage.

The Foreign Affairs Department recently suspected that some tribes of the Orc Empire secretly contacted the forces of the Rios continent, and they may have reached some unspeakable agreements.

Uncle Bernhard has also been troubled by this matter recently.

After all, the war situation in the Dwarf Country is really not good.

Of course, because no one wants to cause trouble at this time, these speculations are only kept secret. ”

Andy nodded and said:

“The problem in Dwarf Village is indeed very troublesome. I remember that your family seemed to have sent people to Dwarf Village to recruit dwarves, right?

There is now a lot of chaos behind their battlefield, and because the situation on the front line has not improved, this chaos is at risk of further aggravation.

From a pessimistic point of view.

If the situation continues to develop, the dwarf branches in various locations in Dwarf Village are very likely to declare independence and make their own living.

In this way, the dwarfs, who have been one of the continental overlords with us since the last era, may decline.

For us nobles of the Human Empire, this kind of thing can actually allow us to successfully recruit a large number of dwarf blacksmiths.

But from a macro perspective, it is probably the beginning of the successful invasion of Rios Continent into our Faens Continent and a firm foothold.

The continental pattern determined by our continent since the last era will obviously be greatly impacted.

The chaos on the continent will inevitably intensify further, and the various impacts it brings will be difficult to predict.

Apart from anything else, all the races on the continent will definitely strive to protect themselves first.

In that case, it is obviously beneficial for our human alliance to keep in touch with the Elf Forest and advance and retreat together to a certain extent. "

Hearing this analysis, Brand nodded in agreement.

If the situation really develops to that point.

Because of the ambiguous attitude of the Orc Empire and the decline of the Dwarf Country.

The ethnic alliance agreement reached by the various races on the continent since the last era and continuing to the present will definitely be taken out and re-examined by the various races on the continent one after another.

At that time, the friendly races will stick together, and the not-so-friendly races will not interact for the time being. As for the mutually hostile races that have wars from time to time... it is highly likely that they will no longer be forced to be friendly and harmonious due to the overall situation!
