Chapter 370: Reaching a Consensus
"Thank you for the reminder, Madam, I will be careful in this regard. At this time, the first thing that came to Sean's mind was Darnell's figure, and his territory was not a white place for the Holy See's forces.
Darnell is purely an idle piece of chess played by Sean before, what he valued at the beginning was the strength of the opponent's double peak, but he didn't expect to be able to use his other aspects one day, if he was pushed to the foreground and played against the Holy Aether Holy See, I don't know what the situation would be?
Both sides believe in the God of Truth, but the one made up by Darnell has long been plausible by him according to his personal wishes.
However, compared to the Holy See of the Holy Aether, the church that Darnell built in the Eternal Night Army is much purer, there are neither papal knights, nor church land, all sources are voluntary offerings of believers, and the duty of the church is to provide spiritual shelter for those believers, so that their souls can rely on.
The few missionaries lived ascetic-like lives.
Moreover, due to the special situation of the Eternal Night Commander, and the special existence of the Military Commission in the army, Darnell's new church is not expanding rapidly, and it is only a third church being built so far.
Darnell was tepid, one step at a time, insisting on spreading his faith, and now he also set his sights on the crocodiles, who had neither faith nor been brainwashed by the military commissars of the Eternal Night Army, and it should be easier to preach.
Amelia smiled and comforted: "His Majesty the Pope of Delt is approaching, and when he returns to heaven and the next pope takes the throne, I don't know how to change the sky!"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, Pope Delt uses an oracle instead of a parable, and the next pope can overturn the parable, but there is no way to overturn the oracle, otherwise it will fall into a paradox, as long as the next pope is not a fool, he will not do such a stupid thing. Sean wasn't as optimistic as Amelia.
It seems that the Eternal Night Warlord needs to increase his support for Darnell, but before that, he must meet with the former leader of the Sword of the Aether in person to find out the other party's attitude, and it will be for nothing if he is unwilling to go against his old family.
"However, even if there is an oracle, it will take a lot of time to reach the ears of all believers, let alone reverse the original preconceived view and put it into action. Sean is not so much an analysis for Amelia as an analysis for himself, "It's rare to see each other, let's not discuss such a heavy topic, look at the lady's dress, it should be the latest style, our business in Valesta should be good, right?"
"Didn't Your Excellency ask knowingly, I don't believe Your Excellency doesn't know how prosperous the silk clothing business is. Amelia glanced at Sean.
Sean spread his hands and said: "I've been dragged in the Swamp of Despair recently, and this alone has consumed all my brains, so how can I have time to care about things related to trading." ”
"People are more popular than people, Your Excellency Baron is not only good at managing the territory, but also a good hand at doing business, the business of silk clothing is not only booming, it is almost bursting, Your Excellency Baron has now become the most talked about man in the boudoir of those ladies and ladies in the royal capital, it is said that many noble ladies have released words and are willing to marry you as a wife. Amelia couldn't help but laugh at the end.
Sean made a shocked expression and said, "Half a year ago, I was a barbarian people they despised, how can I fight to be my wife now?
"That's right, just to have endless silk clothes, haha...... It's the most ridiculous joke I've ever heard. Amelia couldn't help but laugh out loud as soon as she finished speaking.
Sean just pursed his lips and smiled, and said in his heart, this is your loneliness, because he has seen everything that is more absurd than this hundredfold reason to sell his body, this is nothing at all, it can only be said that the current customs of the Byron Alliance are too simple.
What is Valesta's most fashionable at the moment?
Nine out of ten people will answer silk clothing.
Less than a year before and after the rise of silk clothing, it swept the whole Valesta, and those noble ladies and noble ladies were all proud to have a set of silk clothing of their own.
Silk clothing is about to be held up by them, not only has a luxurious appearance, the material is as smooth as silk, wearing it on the body can not feel their existence at all, even the toughness and strength are beyond imagination, can be used as armor.
For the first time, those men not only did not reject this fashion that originally belonged to women, but vigorously pursued it.
Because that kind of silk clothing does show unusual beauty on women, especially in those women with beautiful lines, it is definitely a visual pleasure, in privacy, it adds a lot of fun, and soon cultivates a group of loyal followers among men.
Their pursuit stimulates the madness of those women in disguise, after all, they dress not only for comparison between the same sex, but mainly to show their charm in front of the opposite sex.
Among the silk clothing, the most popular among those ladies and ladies is silk underwear, which is as delicate as a girl's skin, silky, warm in winter and cool in summer.
Once used, it is difficult to endure the roughness of linen.
It is said that the special materials used in silk clothing have ingredients that are healthy for people, and if you wear them regularly, your skin will be as smooth and shiny as silk clothing.
What exactly the ingredients are, no one has said clearly.
However, most of the ladies who have worn silk clothes praise it, and their skin seems to have become fairer and more attractive to varying degrees, attracting more people.
Correspondingly, it is its high price, a tailor-made silk garment, from head to foot, without a thousand royal gold coins simply cannot be taken.
This is far beyond the spending power of most families, and an ordinary family of five will not earn this number without eating or drinking for ten years.
Now silk clothing is an out-and-out luxury, and only those ladies who have a value can afford to consume it.
Even so, there is no price.
At the beginning, those who could find a way to customize a set of silk clothing were very well-channeled, and the customization cycle was as long as three weeks.
Many people are holding real money and have no way to ask for it.
It wasn't until Valesta opened a silk store called the Princess Wardrobe that the situation eased, but it wasn't easy to get your own silk outfit.
It is said that the orders for silk clothing made by the princess's wardrobe are scheduled for half a year.
There are more rich people in the Byron Union than you can imagine.
Many of them used to have money and no place to spend it, so they could only bury it in the backyard cellar and get moldy.
The emergence of silk clothing opened up a whole new world, making those women suddenly realize that real money and silver could be worn on their bodies.
No, real money is worn on the body, which is too nouveau riche, which does not match their noble identity and unique taste.
Following silk clothing, all kinds of bizarre luxury goods have emerged.
There is no need for Sean to deliberately guide them, those traditional jewelers will try their best to process more exquisite and luxurious jewelry, so that they can match the expensive silk clothing, right?
The pursuit of profit is the instinct of all businessmen, and it does not need to be taught at all, it only needs someone to put a possibility in front of them, and they automatically follow suit.
Silk clothing other merchants naturally have no way to think, after all, in terms of raw materials, the Eternal Night Military Territory is in a monopoly position, and the hunting bird spider silk produced in the territory is not enough for themselves, so naturally there is no surplus to sell to other merchants.
These merchants had to take a shortcut, on the one hand, to make the original fabrics smoother, and on the other hand, to inlay various precious jewelry materials on their clothes to increase their value.
Don't say it, there's still a lot of market for that.
After all, the luxury market of the Byron Alliance is in an embryonic state, the supply is less than the demand, and the silk clothing cannot be customized, so it can only be used as a substitute.
As the Silk Apparel of the Eternal Night continues to expand, the market for this alternative will become smaller and smaller until it is completely squeezed out.
As one of the spokespersons of the princess's wardrobe, Amelia's clothes are naturally all from the hands of the Eternal Night Leader.
No matter how tight the supply of silk clothing is, it is impossible to wear a few of them.
What's more, the tight orders for silk clothing are limited by the output of raw materials, which is only one aspect.
On the other hand, the Eternal Night Warlords consciously created hunger sales, because they are in a monopoly position, they can blatantly do so, in order to keep the high price of silk clothing.
The Byron Alliance doesn't have any antitrust laws, and Sean won't be stupid enough to remind Her Royal Highness the Princess Regent, even if the other party is his ally.
After all, there will be more and more monopoly products that will be taken out by the Eternal Night Army in the future, and if an anti-monopoly law is formulated, it will be yourself who will suffer the most at that time.
After Sean opened Valesta's situation, he really didn't pay more attention there, and just a few words from Amelia had already sketched out the situation of his own business in Valesta.
Although the other businesses of the Eternal Night Army in Valesta are not as popular as silk clothing, they are not far behind, especially when it comes to food, clothing, housing and transportation.
As mentioned earlier, the Byron League is very polarized between rich and poor, with 90 percent of the wealth concentrated in the hands of one percent, and most of these one percent are concentrated in large cities like Valesta, and even if they don't live here for a long time, they will often come here to spend.
And the relatively short history of the Byron Alliance, at least compared to the five thousand years of the flower planters, is indeed far behind.
This makes many of their diet, dressing and other industries in a state of enlightenment, with certain local characteristics of food, but it is relatively simple, and it can't stand the attack of the otherworldly version of the flower meal produced under Sean's influence.
And compared to silk clothing, food is more affordable in price.
There are both those of the poor who like good and cheap, and those of the lords and nobles who like expensive delicacies.
In response to Sean's original view, taking money from rich people is the fastest way to get money.
In less than a year, the Eternal Night Army has as many as 100 taverns, restaurants, and restaurants in Valesta, accounting for one-tenth of the foreign trade share of the Eternal Night Army Leader.
The Kingsley family, known for their wealth, has been dragged into a financial crisis, and until now the Eternal Night Commander has not had the slightest financial pressure, relying on the continuous financial resources drawn from the Byron League through the water passage of the Jacob River.
No matter how rich the Kingsley family is, it can't compare with most of the rich people in the Byron League, right?
Compared to financial resources, the Eternal Night Commander has never been afraid of the Kingsley family.
The two gossiped for a while, and Amelia turned the conversation to business: "What is the Baron going to do with the 200,000 army of the Kingsley family?"
The main topic is finally here.
Sean didn't answer Amelia, but threw the question back, "What is the opinion of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Your Highness's opinion is to listen to the Baron's opinion first, and then get your opinion, after all, we are allies, can't we tear down the corners of our own family by ourselves?" Amelia's Tai Chi Bagua Palm is self-taught.
"My opinion is that I want to hear His Highness's opinion first. "Sean is also a master on this.
"It's not interesting for Lord Baron to say that, Your Highness has sent me here to hear what Lord Buck really thinks, and then consider how to respond to Grand Duke Barker's request. Amelia's smooth face showed a hint of dissatisfaction, the princess regent had shown enough kindness in sending her in this situation, and Sean was still pushing back, which was a bit excessive.
"I think Madam misunderstood me. Sean explained with a smile, " The Kingsley family is a member of the Byron Alliance after all, in the battle of military formations, it is one thing to destroy their 200,000 army, and it is another thing to deliberately trap their 200,000 army, Her Royal Highness the princess pays attention to our alliances, and we can never fail to pay attention to the feelings of our allies, on this issue, we are discussing, if we can know where His Highness's bottom line is, so that we can formulate a strategy to get the best of both worlds, if we don't know that Ms. Amelia is on the way here, we will have to send an envoy to Valesta. ”
"Your Highness will be very pleased to know that Your Excellency the Baron has thought it so thoroughly. Amelia smiled genuinely, like a rose blooming, dazzling.
Regardless of whether Sean is sincere or polite, at least he shows that he attaches importance to the relationship with the princess regent's ally, as long as this point is determined, the remaining interests can be discussed slowly.
As long as the interests of both sides are aligned, the alliance is indestructible.
So far, there has been no irreconcilable conflict of interest between the two sides, and it is believed that the Kingsley family's expedition to the East is no exception.
Maybe Sean himself didn't realize it, but his response just now had released a potential signal that the Eternal Night Army Leader was not very strong about eating these 200,000 troops.
Otherwise, it shouldn't be the opinion of the princess regent first, but the first time to release a strong signal to facilitate the reaction of his allies, this has nothing to do with people, but normal thinking and reasoning.
Sean has been a leader for too short a time, and there are many things that need to be explored by himself, compared to Amelia, who has been stumbling in this industry for I don't know how many years, he still lacks a little heat.
Amelia, who had a bottom in her heart, restrained her smile and said with a solemn expression: "Her Royal Highness the princess is now in this position, and she needs to consider not only her own interests, but also the overall interests, the threat of Odin orcs is obvious to all, don't look at them fighting life and death now, once our Byron Alliance falls into civil strife, they will unite as soon as possible and go south in a big way, and there will be no eggs under the nest, if the entire Byron Alliance falls into war, it will not be good for us." ”
"Your Highness means that the war cannot escalate again?" Sean asked in a concluding rhetorical question.
"That's right, the war can't escalate anymore, the Kingsley family's eastern army can be weakened, and the Kingsley family can dig flesh, but it must not be allowed to collapse, otherwise the entire Byron alliance will be involved and can no longer be controlled. When Amelia came, she was obviously authorized by the princess regent, and she said directly without even thinking about it.
