Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Even if Xiongdu pays attention to the changes in Fosbairo, they are destined to be slow to respond.

Moreover, as His Majesty Jarvan IV is planning a grand enthronement ceremony, even if something is discovered, no one will pay much attention.

On the contrary, it was the nobles in the north who had never been very well-informed, who were the first to realize that something was wrong - not because they knew Fosbarrow, but because the population under their command, especially the working-age population, was growing at an alarming rate. , massive outflow to Forsbarrow.

You must know that the population in the north has never been dense. Even in the past ten years, with the rise of Forsbarrow trade, people's living standards have improved and their desire to have children has increased visibly. But in the poor population Under the base number, the number of civilians in the north is still pitifully small compared to the south.

After Forsbarrow unreservedly relaxed its policy of absorbing the population, a large number of laborers chose to go to Forsbarrow to work and make money. Compared with digging for food in the soil, it seems that they go to Forsbarrow to buy strength. More profitable.

Only in a few areas, because most of the civilians under the rule are farmers and the civilians are farming for themselves (such as Mithril City), there is not much outflow of the population.

Tenants no longer rent farmland, and the fields that used to be planted with grass and vegetables have been abandoned. Under this situation, no matter how much the nobles don't care about the lives of common people, they have to cheer up.

Recently, the price of food has been getting higher year by year, and the common people are all hens that lay golden eggs. If they all run away, who will the gentlemen find to work for?

If the farmers changed their livelihoods, the nobles from various places might not be able to help but adopt some special measures. However, considering that they all went to Forsbarrow, many nobles smacked their lips and felt that it was best to stay with Laxana. Your Excellency, please talk first.

As we all know, Fosbello has always been in great need of people.

Everyone can understand Laxana’s large-scale population absorption.

But now that it is absorbing people like a whale, a large area of ​​our land will be abandoned!

In Forsbarrow's trade, grain accounts for a large proportion. Without grain, it would be bad for everyone!

How about we discuss and establish a rule, for example, the second son of each family can go to Forsbarrow, but at least one male must be left to work?

In the past ten years, Lux has always played the role of a good neighbor in the north, so the nobles in the north have become very accustomed to negotiating with Lux to solve problems - the noble model lady can always successfully achieve multi-party supply, so they naturally Also happy to save worry and effort.

However, this time, when the nobles from the north came to Forsbyro and entered New Fortune City, a few smart-minded guys finally started to murmur in their hearts.

Although I didn't see the shipyard at full power, the current crowded but orderly appearance of Xinfu City makes people a little concerned no matter how you look at it.

I always feel that the current Forsbarrow is a little different from last year, but I can’t tell what is different...

These doubtful people did not show any emotion on their faces, but just applied to see His Excellency Count Laxana as usual.

At the banquet, the nobles chatted in an artless manner, while hinting at the food problem in the north.

However, Her Excellency Laxana, who was usually all-rounded, seemed to be stupid today. She turned a deaf ear to the subtext of the nobles in the north, and even took the initiative to express her worries about insufficient food.

Facts have proved that a person who can always make people feel comfortable is also very good at making people choke when he wants to.

Lux didn't even do anything rude, but she suppressed a few impatient guys and took the initiative to bring up the topic regardless of their grace.

The first person who took the initiative to speak was named Guswo, the lord of Balmore in the north.

Balmore is located in the east of Mithril City. Although it is relatively far from Forsbarrow, with the relay station of Mithril City, it has deep economic ties with Forsbarrow. Even their largest food buyer is Fosbairo.

This young man, who had just inherited the territory the year before, had just started trying to launch a pioneering movement in Balmore last year. As a result, just after the New Year, a large number of civilians under his rule fled - the furious Guswal wanted to take violence. However, after learning that all the civilians had gone to Forsbarrow, he had no choice but to be patient and come to meet the real talkative person in the north and the super god of wealth.

"Your Excellency Laxana." Gusvo chose to get straight to the point, "I heard that Fosbello has been recruiting all kinds of workers without restrictions since the spring of this year. Is this true?"

"This is of course true." Lux nodded gracefully, "Starting from this year, Fosbairo will begin to implement an integration strategy, hoping that the entire Fosbairo and all walks of life can strive for one goal. , unite and work together like our ancestors."

For this official language, Lux is already familiar with it without Kalya's help. With this mouthful, Forsbarrow's integration strategy has become a strategy of "learning from the ancestors of Demacia". Impeccable in name.

Unfortunately, Gusvo was not interested in learning from the ancestors at all, and he did not want to debate the spirit of Demacia and the spirit of the ancestors with the noble paragon. After nodding lightly, he chose to go with the flow.

"I respect Forsbarrow's integration strategy, and I respect Lady Laxana's imitation of the sages even more." He organized his words carefully, "But everyone needs to eat, and those who work in the farmland now They all come to work in Forsbarrow, and they have to have enough food to follow the example of their ancestors!"

"This is exactly the meaning of my implementation of the integrated Forsbarrow strategy." Lux continued to occupy the moral commanding heights. "The year before last, I took the initiative to ask you to accept the help of the Archon to increase food production, but You all refused.”

Hearing this, no matter how dull the northern nobles were, they couldn't help but frown.

In the thirteenth year of Forsby's Luo Calendar, Lux did mention that "if necessary, he can send absolutely reliable mages to help increase the yield of crops" - at that time, Shurima was in full swing in the capital city. On the one hand, Fosbairo was spending a lot of money to buy golden wheel stones, and on the other hand, he was raising the purchase price of grain internally. For a while, the food in the north seemed a bit reluctant to support the Fosbairo Miao descendants.

In this case, Lux simply said, "How about we expand our food production capacity, and I will send out the Archon to help"!

Although there are legends in the North that the Dharma Master played a lot of role in cultivating Fragrant Red Soup and Hazelnut Velvet, the nobles still declined to respond to Lux's suggestion.

You can control the Archon, we can't!

Moreover, you have the Silent People organization over there, so the demon seekers are not likely to cause trouble, but we have nothing to do with the Silent People. If the Archon comes to us, the royal family's hand will probably reach out to them.

Lux just said it, and the nobles just refused. Neither side seemed to care about it.

But who would have thought that Lux would reveal the matter at this time, and what he meant was "Since you don't have enough people to produce food, just let the Archon help and improve the efficiency of food production." ".

Upon hearing this, Gusvo's brows wrinkled on the spot.

Holy shit, is this the same thing?

Do we still need Forsbarrow's guidance on how to grow food in the territory under our rule?

Regarding Lux's sophistry, Gusvo's emotions were a little out of control.

However, not all northern nobles are as young as Gusvo. When many people heard this, they couldn't help but wonder if Lux had other intentions.

Could it be that Her Excellency Laxana is targeting those southerners?

This cannot be blamed on the imagination of the nobles in the north. In fact, since the royal family's Shurima trade began, the relationship between the north and south of Demacia has become somewhat competitive. As the first mover in foreign trade, Moreover, although the northern border has a more mature business environment, in terms of capital, it is still somewhat inferior to that in the south.

How many kilograms of food can be obtained by plundering and plundering the northern territory?

How do you compare with the Demacia Plains and the Tobitsia Plains?

To maintain the Forsbarrow trade, Lux relies not only on cheap food from Demacia, but also on locally developed specialties.

Compared with Fosbairo, the royal family that has mastered Ningwu Dao is simply exchanging sand for money.

In this case, there is a natural competition between the North and the South. In addition, Lux is the talker in the North and often stands up for the North. When she suddenly goes out of character and says something strange, people will always tolerate it. Don’t stop thinking about it.

Sure enough, Lux said something more interesting afterwards.

"Civilians have always gone wherever there is more money. If Forsbarrow has more gold coins, they are willing to come to Forsbarrow."

"Now I heard that the price of food in the south is also rising, and no one has a few acres of land to farm. Instead of coming to Forsbarrow, you might as well think about how to attract people from the south."

"My people are familiar with this kind of thing, and I will help if necessary."

Good guy, this can no longer be regarded as a hint, it is simply an explicit statement.

Want to have enough labor to sustain farming?

Bring people over from the south!

I heard that life for the common people in the south is getting tighter and tighter. I can pull people from your territory to Forsbarrow, but you won't pull people from the south?

Naturally, everyone was reluctant to what Lux said at first.

Just kidding, there is a price to pay for attracting people - if you don't offer a lower rent, how many people will be willing to leave their homes?

We are not the God of Wealth like Laxana, who can spend money to attract people unscrupulously. If we attract people from the south, do we have to lower the rent?

Lowering the rent means we take money out of our own pockets!

Moreover, the nobles in the south are so rich!

Look at their style after the Shurima trade began. If we compete with them for rent, aren't we looking for death?

However, since Lux was willing to speak, she was naturally prepared.

Soon, each of these northern nobles had a travel diary in their hands. Lux didn't say much, she just hoped that everyone would "read it more" and said "the travel diary is very interesting."

The banquet ended soon.

Back at the place where they stayed, the northern nobles who didn't know why had opened the travel diary one after another.

Then, they were surprised to find that the southern scenery recorded in their travel notes seemed to be very different from what they had imagined!

According to the travel notes, the current share of tenants in the South has reached the level of seven citizens and three citizens. Although the price of food in Demacia has been rising steadily in recent years, according to the travel notes, the south of Demacia is in a state of exhaustion. .

Of course, not all nobles understood the content - some people did not realize what the book represented at all, but just thought it was a crappy work, and the language did not even have basic beauty.

There is one thing to say, there is indeed no sense of beauty.

Because this is basically the information of the intelligence team, something that was barely put together after a series of connections. This plate of dumplings was made entirely out of jealousy.

Lux did this on the one hand to buy time for the integration of Forsbarrow, and on the other hand to expand Forsbarrow's influence. She took advantage of the situation to observe the quality of the northern nobles and see who could still be transformed. room for those who are hopeless.

Those lords who realize the significance of the contents recorded in the travel notes and are willing to go south in order to attract their subjects may still have a future.

And those guys who don't understand Lux's meaning at all, and even plan to confront Forsbarrow, will soon become the first batch of unlucky people.

As the talker in the north, Lux now needs to find a suitable target to practice her skills.

And the Northern Walker and Mage sequences are now in great need of practical experience!

However, what Lax never expected was that she was just making a false shot, but Mr. Nidu, the lord of Temuera, chose to visit late at night that night, and Lax was stunned as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Your Excellency Laxana." The patriarch, who sold his own textile industry by providing food for Forsbarrow, opened his mouth with shocking words, "If His Majesty Jarvan IV becomes emperor, then Your Majesty Laxana must also He will definitely become the King of Forsbarrow, right?”

Such a direct compliment made Lux a little confused for a moment. She couldn't figure out why Nidu said that.

"That does not depend on me, but on His Majesty." Lux finally shook her head slightly, "Where it becomes a kingdom, where it becomes a principality, and where it continues to be a territory, these are all decided by His Majesty."

"But in my opinion, Fosbairro is much stronger than Xiongdu." The other party didn't look like a noble at all, and his words were more straightforward than commoners. "Who in the north doesn't know Lady Laxana?"

"..."

If she wasn't very aware of Nidu's own virtues and knew that everything about him was completely tied to Forsbarrow, Lux would have almost thought that this guy was here to trick her.

However, Nidu's next sentence made Lux decide that this idiot was indeed here to trick her.

"Since Your Majesty can claim the title of emperor, then Sir Laxana, you can definitely claim the title of king!"

Kalya’s Little Classroom Temuera’s Nidu:

The Nidu family of Temuera was last mentioned in Chapter 597. In order to seize power within the family, the patriarch sold Temuera's textile industry in exchange for Vosbello's food order.
