Chapter 82 The Wind Fluctuates (please vote)
In Dadir City, Baron Sith, who had barely repaired a few houses, finally had a place to stay.
Before they even had time to consider the development of the territory, a group of northern Xinjiang nobles came running over. After listening to everyone's complaints, Sith, who was originally full of anger, slowly calmed down.
Human nature is so weird. When you are unlucky, you will find that there are a group of unlucky people around you, and your mood will instantly feel much better.
Dadir City is abandoned, but its superior geographical location is still there. Once Wright County develops, it will still be the most suitable area for commodity trade and will still have the greatest development potential.
…
"Knight Daeron, calm down first. Impulsiveness can't solve any problems. No one wants to see this happen.
We are all victims in this matter, but that doesn't mean we can act rashly.
It is easy to just bring people to the door and ask for an explanation. However, the problem is that if they refuse to admit it and insist that it is to relieve refugees, we will become very passive.
It is impossible for the Governor's Office to support us. Once there is an excuse to intervene, it will definitely come out to sidetrack us.
Personally, I suggest you be polite first and then attack with force. We can send someone to prepare a gift to thank them for taking care of the people for us these days, and then ask them for the people.
It would be best if they could make friends. If they don't cooperate and resort to extraordinary measures, we can still gain a moral advantage.
In this way, even if the Governor's Office wants to sidestep the situation, there is no reason to intervene. "
Sith said calmly.
The hardships on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang were not in vain after all. Following the Grand Duke of Kavadia, the thing that I heard and heard the most about was politics.
After calming down and thinking about ways to solve the problem, I naturally chose "political priority".
As for right and wrong, it doesn't matter in the world of aristocrats. What everyone values more is the pros and cons.
The rational response hurt the nobles who originally wanted to encourage the Sith to come forward. The competitors are not only strong in strength and status, but they also have brains. How do they play?
Some nobles who were originally not very determined or unsure about competing for the leadership position have now begun to think about whether to defect to the other side.
The nobles who can be sent out to open new businesses are all carefully selected children of each family. They may be limited by their growth environment and lack comprehensive abilities, but they are definitely not fools.
He soon understood Sith's true intentions. It was a lie to live peacefully with the local nobles. Creating a reasonable excuse to establish his power was what he wanted.
If immigrants want to establish themselves in an unfamiliar place, the first thing they have to do is not to unite with others, but to show their strength.
There is no doubt that showing strength and establishing authority also requires skills. If you want to gain a foothold in the southeastern province, you can't push the hatred too deep. At least you can't push all the nobles in the province to the opposite side.
"Sir Sir Sith, the nobles of the Southeast Province are very hostile to us. I am afraid that not only will they not appreciate your kindness, but they will think that we are afraid of them.
As local gangsters, these guys have deep local roots. Once we take extraordinary measures, they will definitely call on their friends.
Of course we are not afraid of a fight. The key is that outside the battlefield, we will encounter new difficulties.
For example: the price of food in the southeastern provinces has begun to skyrocket. Compared with before we came here, it has increased by 50%, and it is almost catching up with the price of food in the north.
The prices of other types of daily necessities are also rising following the trend. In particular, the price of slaves has doubled compared with the same period in previous years.
I don’t know if you have noticed that caravans always take detours when they see us, let alone doing business. This is very abnormal, as if someone is controlling it.
If the conflict between us and the local nobles escalates, this situation may become more serious, and it may even completely impose an economic blockade on us. "
Baron Sutton warned.
He comes from a family that is engaged in logistics and finance. Baron Sutton is particularly sensitive to changes in material prices.
After arriving in the southeastern province, his first thing was not to rush to his own territory, but to inquire about price changes to see if there were any suitable business opportunities. As a result, the business opportunity was not discovered, but the crisis was noticed by him.
The order of the Alpha Kingdom still exists, and even if there is internal fighting, it is generally limited to a reasonable range.
It is not dangerous for noble lords to attack each other. Even if there were heavy casualties, it was only the soldiers below who died. The safety of the nobles themselves is still guaranteed.
No one can be killed, and the territory cannot be taken by force. Even if they are directly subordinate to the lord, they cannot deprive their vassals of their territory without reason.
In contrast, the battles without smoke outside the battlefield were even more bloody and cruel.
Economic blockade due to internal strife rarely happened in the past. The most critical reason is that under the unique territorial economic system, almost every lord is a small industrial cycle and can basically achieve self-sufficiency.
Especially in a fertile land like the Southeast Province, even if it is blocked for three to five years, the noble lords still have what they should eat and drink.
But the other lords present could not do it. They had not yet had time to establish their foundation. It is like a no-man's land, but there is no ability to provide them with the most basic material support.
After hesitating for a while, Sith said harshly: "Since there is a possibility of economic blockade, we will take the initiative and break this blockade network first.
No matter who is behind the scenes, the economic blockade can only target our group of outsiders, and cannot block the local nobles at all.
If you want to tear apart this big net, you must obtain the cooperation of some local nobles. Under normal circumstances, they would definitely not cooperate, so they would have to use extraordinary means.
It’s up to everyone to decide how to do it specifically. However, you still have to be careful and don't push people into panic.
If they go too far and they just give up on the construction of the fiefdom and continue to waste time with us, then they will be in big trouble. "
The Northland nobles and nobles expressed their opinions, and it took two days in Dadir City to end. It is worth mentioning that no banquet was held in the middle.
Obviously, this group of nobles, who have been adding blood on the battlefield all year round, pay more attention to pragmatism than having a sense of presence in ceremonies.
…
The Northland nobles' counterattack began, and the local nobles in Wright and Wyton counties instantly felt the pressure.
Knight of Nanshan, Knight Coelho who just inherited the territory, is one of the unlucky ones.
Originally, he was not prepared to take advantage. After all, his family's vitality was severely damaged during the rebellion, and he had no capital to cause trouble at all.
But when people sit at home, "blessings" come from heaven. Without doing anything, a group of refugees strayed into his territory.
It would be a lie to say that I am not jealous when I look at my neighbors who are robbing people and quickly replenishing the territory's labor force. Anyway, the refugees were brought to the door by him, and he didn't snatch them, so he simply took them in.
With the addition of more than 500 refugees, the progress of the reconstruction work in his territory has also been greatly advanced, making Coelho as happy as a chicken blood shot every day.
Unfortunately, good times are short-lived after all. After a few days of enjoying the demographic dividend, the owner came to ask for it.
Looking at the gifts in front of him, Coelho wished he was not at home. It's a pity that the other party didn't give him a chance to refuse. He just put down his things and left after explaining his intention.
Weakness is the original sin, and there is no shame in bowing to the strong. I have spent more than a month of free labor in vain, and it is not a loss if I return it now.
But the problem is that he only accepted 500 refugees, but the other party insisted that he accepted 1,000 refugees. After thanking him for taking care of him with the gift, I asked him for the people.
It's obviously blackmail. How can we compromise on this kind of thing? But the problem is that I really can’t beat it!
Except for him, the lord, who could fight, there were only a few guards left, and the remaining weapons were all used up in the war.
Gather a group of serf soldiers and make an appointment with the elites from northern Xinjiang. The outcome of the battle is already known without even starting.
Failure in single combat leads to group fights. As a noble who has been rooted in the local area for many years, he originally had no shortage of personal connections. Unfortunately, most of these connections were lost in the rebellion.
Even if the inheritance is saved by luck, the current situation is similar to Coelho's. If you don't have time to take care of yourself, how can you take care of others?
There are indeed some connections outside the county, but unfortunately, in order to successfully inherit the title, most of the favors have been exhausted.
The most important thing is that even if people are willing to help now because of their past friendship, it will not be able to quench their thirst.
"Sir, why don't you ask for help from the Knight of the Divine Bow? Although we have never interacted with each other, your great-aunt married into the Koslow family, and everyone is considered a relative.
The relationship is a little distant, but we are all neighbors. Just seeing you being bullied like this is not a good thing for him! "
The old housekeeper's words reminded Coelho. It is indeed a bit reluctant to say that they are relatives, but it is true that they are related to the Koslow family by marriage.
Unfortunately, the marriage relationship has lasted three generations, and the people involved have long since died. Even the marriage partner is a branch of the Koslow family in Wyton County.
In theory, even if you were asking for help, you should ask your relatives in Wyton County. Unfortunately, the Wyton branch is also overwhelmed now.
It will be released on the shelves this Friday, everyone support it... Haiyue is going to hit the list, hit the list, hit the list, cute, handsome, enthusiastic, elegant and happy readers, please get your votes! !
