When everyone had eaten and drunk enough, Dean Seult, the commander of the Mage Tower, looked at the unknown dance between the orc prince and Andy Barrett holding hands in the original duel arena, and couldn't help but sigh: "If I hadn't come here, I might not have believed that an orc prince would stand and dance with a human duke." ”

"All because of His Majesty's supreme brilliance. Rendin-Reagan was in high spirits, and as a professional soldier he was old-fashioned and serious, but he was more open than anyone else, and as he said that, he also stood up and walked into the dueling arena and provoked a military dance.

"Seeing such a scene, I have more and more confidence in the future war against the undead legion. Dorry, the commander of Feld's army, raised his glass and shouted to the young king on the throne, "A toast to the great King Pedi." ”

"Cheers!" everyone stood up at the same time and raised their glasses to the young king seated on the throne.

"Our friendship is even greater!" said Pedi, standing up and raising his glass.

After a sip of wine, everyone's emotions rose even higher, and a few people couldn't bear to join in the wide duel arena and dance in the joyful flames.

More than ten minutes later,

Andy Barrett returned to his seat panting, drank the poured wine dry, and slumped into his chair motionless.

Half an hour later,

The orc prince also returned to his place sweating profusely, he picked up the wine glass and drank it dry in one gulp, grabbed the roast meat with his hands and ate it.

"It's more flavorful. "Although the barbecue was already cold, Ribalo ate it with relish.

Pedi looked at the orc prince who was eating greasy, and when he was happy, he suddenly remembered a tricky matter, so he couldn't help but say to the left and right: "Looking at this full seat of food, I suddenly remembered something... According to the statistics of the provisional government of Suke City, nearly 100 people are now starving to death every day in the Suke Plain. ”

"Maybe just as we were rejoicing, someone was dying in a corner of the Suker Plains because there was no food. Pedy's muffled language was a little inappropriate in such an atmosphere, but he still brought it up at this time.

"Dead people are common, and it's not strange that people starve to death. ”

"Even at the height of the Empire, there were frequent cases of starvation in some remote parts of the Empire. ”

"The human world is home to nearly sixty million people, Your Majesty. ”

The aristocrats' successive statements made Pei Di couldn't help but frown.

Behind the bustle, there is always a shadow that cannot be seen, and even the city of Crewe today has many dark corners that cannot receive the radiation of the sun.

But the situation in the Sukh Plains is different ...

"The problem of eating is a problem that all countries are facing today. Amid the gossip of the nobles and the thoughts of the king, the orc prince Ribalo spoke in a loud voice, "We intend to reclaim new farmland in the desert of the Western Continent. ”

"If you can succeed, it will be a good thing for us as well. Andy Barrett's eyes lit up.

"The soil and weather of the desert plains can really feed some of the crops. Archmage Leah looked at Ribalo thoughtfully, "But first you have to find a way to get enough water, otherwise with the precipitation of the desert plains, only the sand beans will survive." ”

"We have a plan," Ribalo looked in the direction of the throne, "Our priests, after decades of monitoring and exploration, have discovered that deep underneath the desert plains of the Western Continent are rich in freshwater resources. ”

"This is not surprising, because the snow that melts every summer in the Lordan Mountains and the Northern Snow Mountains cannot be diverted by Kemir alone, and the Mage Tower has long deduced that there are abundant groundwater resources under the Western Continent. Dean Selter, commander of the Mage Tower, followed suit, "But with our current technology, we can't get a lot of groundwater resources. ”

"Yes, even if we all our efforts are combined, we will not be able to develop groundwater resources in a short period of time. Leah agreed.

"We plan to join forces with the dwarves, use the dwarven digging techniques, find the upper reaches of the groundwater, find a way to dig a huge cavern, and then build a canal across the western continent along the cave to the west. "We're going to spend fifty years doing this." ”

Pedi frowned, he couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to say such an important thing.

"A big project!" exclaimed Mondstadt-Jean, "once this project is completed, the desert of the Western Continent can be transformed into fertile land. He shrugged, "Getting the work done is key." From his contemptuous expression, it was clear that he was not optimistic about the plan.

"We need more explosives for blasting, as well as magic devices from the Crewe City Joint Laboratory. Ribalo looked at the king on the throne, "We need help." ”

"Of course, we're happy to help you because we're friends. Pedi didn't refuse, but then he changed his words, "But your problem is fifty years from now, and Suke Plains needs to solve the problem of eating now." ”

"The Crewe Plains and Harrens Heights have enough food, but transportation is a problem. Derick Danny said before Ribalo could speak again, "We can't use magic teleportation to transport this food, it's too expensive. ”

"Huge countries need easy transportation, and we need to rotate goods thousands of miles apart, and the faster the better. Darek Danny looked around, "The kingdom's trade economy is very prosperous, but the roads along the way are terrible. ”

"We are discussing the famine in the Souk Plains. Pedi frowned, he didn't want to talk about the trade economy of the kingdom on this occasion, he looked at Dempto-Bob and the merchants around him, "The provisional government regulated the prices of the Suke Plain the day before yesterday, why is the price of grain in the northern part of the Suke Plain still sky-high?"

Temple-Bob was stunned, as if he didn't know how to answer, "Your Majesty, I..." he subconsciously lowered his head and was silent for a while before he said, "Many areas in the northern part of the Suke Plain, especially the area around Kwyn Town, have always been in a state of autonomy..."

"Now they belong to the kingdom's ruling territory. Pedi interrupted Temple-Bob's explanation, "Restore prices in that area as soon as possible, and re-establish the commerce system." He pointed to Temple-Bob and emphasized, "If you can't figure it out, I can let someone else do it." ”

Temple-Bob really wanted someone else to do it, because now the northern part of the Suker Plain, or the town of Kwyn, was not something he could play, but how dare he let the king not get off the stage on this occasion, and the king specifically mentioned this matter on this occasion, the purpose of which was to let him participate in the competition to enter Kwyn Town and upset the balance of Kwyn Town.

Thinking of the balance of power in Kwin Town, Temple-Bob couldn't help but look at the Orc Prince Ribalo and Andy Barrett. He was well aware that during the previous Battle of Suke, the kingdom had signed a secret agreement with the two of them about how to divide the benefits of Kwyn.

Moreover, the town of Kwen is now in the hands of the Kamok Khanate and the Principality of Twak.

At this moment, the orc prince Ribalo and Andy Barrett were quietly listening to the conversation between the two, there was no piping on the surface, but deep down they were constantly churning. Although they knew very well that it would not be so simple to successfully acquire the rights and interests of Kwyn, what they did not expect was that the king on the throne would be so direct.

"All of our chambers of commerce respect your decision, and the major chambers of commerce in the Suke Plain will arrive in the town of Kwen within ten days to address the growing famine there. After a short period of reflection, Temple-Bob decided that while Kwyn was now a maelstrom, there were also limitless opportunities.

Immediately after Dempto's statement, Ribalo said, "We also have some grain in the neutral trade zone of the Zephilo grassland, and we will be happy to help if the town of Kwyn needs it." ”

"The Duchy of Twak does not have any surplus food, but we have a strong light cavalry force in the steppes of Tefero, and the bandits in Kwyn can be handed over to us. Andy followed suit, and after saying this, he looked at his cousin again, "Of course, if you don't think it's necessary, just because I didn't say it, all decisions in the Duchy of Twak depend on you. ”

Andy Barrett's words drew the attention of many people, especially Ribalo across from him. The orc prince could not have imagined why the ambitious Andy Barrett would give up the benefits he had, which was not a good thing for the khanate.

"If you do have a surplus of food, it is best to transfer it to the front line of the battle against the undead legions. Pedi Yuri Barlow looked at each other, "The biggest problem for the Confederates today is the undead army led by Karen. ”

"But..."

"I intend to establish a Northern Theater of Operations in the area of Fort Shaster, the town of Kwyn, and Fort Zecora. "In my plan, Kwyn will be the administrative center of the Northern Theater of Operations, and Chasterburg will be the pre-war command center. ”

"What do you mean by the administrative center of Kwyn?" Ribalo reined in his eagerness.

Pedi didn't answer immediately, he looked at his cousin, then at the representatives of the Tower, Fort Norma, and Feld, "A joint administrative center will be established by the kingdom, the highland steppes, and the Kamok Hangguo to manage all administrative powers in the northern theater of operations, and the same is true of the pre-war command center in Shasterburg. ”

"King Pedi, I think that we, the United Duchy of Lunn, can also take on the war against the undead legions. Samhill immediately stood up when he heard that the northern theater did not count them, he didn't drink a sip of wine today, but his face was flushed at the moment.

Obviously, at this moment, the former archbishop of the Cathedral of Divine Radiance was very excited.

"I haven't forgotten the United Principality of Lunn, but your battlefield is not in the Northern Theater. Pedi motioned to Samhill not to get too excited, "Paladins are the backbone of dealing with the undead legions, so I plan to form a larger paladin legion and devote it to a frontal battle with the undead legions. ”

"We can fight on two fronts, and the Northern Theater cannot do without our United Duchy of Lunn. Samhill didn't buy it, he knew very well that the United Duchy of Lunn, as one of the northern forces, would completely lose the right to speak in the northern region if it could not join the Northern Theater Principality.

"If the United Duchy of Lunn insists on doing so, the Confederates will not refuse, and the Confederates will drink to anyone who fights against the undead legions. Pedi kept smiling, and said before Samhill was about to continue speaking, "However, this matter is still in a draft state, and everything we are talking about now will not be documented." With that, he looked at Temple-Bob, "What did we say about the famine in the Suker Plains?"

He changed the subject.

"Oh, yes... Your Chamber of Commerce is willing to be stationed in the northern part of the Suker Plains. Pedi asked himself, he looked at Temple-Bob, "After your caravan sets sail and registers its chapter in Kwyn, the Harrance Heights Granary and the Garmic Plains Granary will be open to you, and your Chamber of Commerce will be tax-free on grain trading for three years." When Pedi said this, he motioned for his servants to be recorded, "But only if you obey the laws of the kingdom." ”

'Law of the Kingdom' All the nobles of Suke City who heard these five words invariably remembered the newly established Suke City Police Station three days ago, as well as the newly appointed acting chief of the police station and the former deputy director of the Suke City Security Department, Martha, who used to be the lowest prostitute in Suke City.

In the past three days, nearly a hundred nobles have been punished by the police for violating the laws of the kingdom, and more than ten of them have been stripped of their titles of nobility that have just been restored for less than a day.

Nowadays, the nobles of Suke City do nothing in their spare time, and all of them hold the "Constitution of the Kingdom", "Regulations of the Kingdom City", "Statutes of the Nobles", "Tax Code" and other law books of the kingdom to read, and the rich nobles even hire a team of scholars to interpret various laws and regulations of the kingdom for them.

"I pledge that my Chamber of Commerce will comply with all the laws and regulations of the Kingdom. Temple-Bob was cautious in his words, he was only giving himself assurances.

"I can guarantee that!"

"And me..."

“...”

Countless aristocrats secretly scolded Demptop-Bob for being unkind in their hearts, and at the same time expressed their stance as quickly as possible. For a while, the scene became as chaotic as just now, but it was not as pleasant as it was at the beginning.

And Sim Erke, who was the leader of the largest chamber of commerce in Suke City, was the complete opposite of these people around him, and he seemed very quiet.

As the most peculiar of the merchant group in the Sukh Plains, Sim-Erke rose to prominence in the Orc Wars, grew rapidly during the Imperial Civil War and the city-state era, and controlled more than seventy percent of the factories in Suk City, but none of this mattered, the most important thing was that he had replaced Pure-Zano, who was canonized as an imperial nobleman at the same time as him, and controlled the workers' union of more than 600,000 members.

"Sir Erke," Peddy called out his gaze to Sim-Erke, "and you have no interest in the grain trade?"
