It took a whole winter for the water level of Andes Inland Lake to drop completely, and the re-flowing Jacob River began to normalize.

During this period, the Eternal Night Army was not idle, and the main forces were transferred to the Andes Inland Lake to catch fish.

The water level of Andes Inland Lake has dropped wildly, trapping many aquatic creatures in shallow puddles.

All they need to do is walk over or row over and pick them up.

A fish bigger than a boat, a freshwater turtle as big as a tabletop, and a water snake with a thick human waist...... These behemoths, which usually lie dormant under the surface of the water, have all revealed their traces at this moment.

While experiencing the extraordinary thrill of harvest, many people who used to swim in the inland lake were terrified and secretly rejoiced that if any of them had come to the door, they would have become dead souls in the water.

The harvest is too rich, so rich that all the people of the entire Eternal Night Group Army can eat it without a lot of food, and it is not enough to consume one-tenth of them.

The Eternal Night Army is now stocking those that can be stocked as long as there are conditions, and those that cannot be made into dried fish or canned food are made to extend their storage period as much as possible.

Rao is so, with the spring flowers blooming, many aquatic products that have not had time to be processed are deteriorating and smelling, and the Eternal Night Group Army is scratching the liver and lungs from top to bottom.

Since its establishment, the Eternal Night Group Army has spent most of its time running around because there is not enough food to eat, and this is the first time that it has worried about not being able to finish eating.

Fortunately, by this time, the Jacob River had stabilized, and boats of all sizes carried these near-spoiling catches down the river, and were very popular in the Manyu military territory, and sold at an unexpectedly good price, after all, it was still in a state of food shortage.

The re-flowing Jacob River has not completely taken away the old channel, after all, it has been cut off for more than 300 years, and many terrains have changed a lot due to man-made or natural factors.

But the rushing flood will find its own way out.

Overall, it did not affect the tripartite plan of the Eternal Night Army, Sophia and Angelena.

Their plan was a complete victory, and as the ports took shape rapidly, the fishing boats and merchant ships of the Eternal Night Army began to shuttle back and forth.

The mountain goods, leather, catches, paper, ceramics, wood, Andes longbow, Tang's nail armor and other specialties of the Eternal Night Army went down the river.

Vegetables, grain, linen, and iron products from the plains of Asia Minor were continuously transported to the Army of the Eternal Night.

Even the seemingly poor and white-looking Manyu army leaders had their own specialties - salt and coal, which were in great demand both in the army of the Eternal Night and in the plains of Asia Minor.

All of a sudden, the Jacob River, which had not yet completely stabilized, fell into a busy situation.

At the beginning, the Eternal Night Army also sent several warships to patrol back and forth, pretending.

In the later period, he didn't even bother to pretend to look like it, and the battleship was directly pulled to be used as a merchant ship.

As they had speculated at the beginning, for a short time, on the Jacob River, they were the dominant family.

They don't look for trouble with others, and no one can trouble them at all.

Just when the small circle formed by the three forces of the Eternal Night Army, Sophia, and Angie Bena, they were communicating with each other through the main water artery that had just been opened up, and they were strengthening their own power.

The matter of the resumption of the Jacob River is still fermenting, and the news is like a wing, turning over the mountains, crossing the river, crossing the plains, and entering the hands of the major family forces.

It is said that when he heard the news, the Pope of the Holy See broke the most beloved crystal cup.

The courtiers of Valesta, the royal capital, blew up the pot, and in half a month, thirteen meetings were held, each of which lasted no less than three hours.

The High Elder of the Witches' Order broke himself with the scepter that never left his hand.

The Speaker of the Warlock League sat on top of his mage tower for a whole day and a night, supposedly facing the same direction as Mount Andes.

The contemporary patriarch of the exiled family of Cummins stood at the bow of the ship, laughed maniacally for half an hour, almost choked to death by his own saliva, and shouted that their opportunity had come, and that their family's ship, like a shark smelling of fish, began to rush in the direction of the Zambi Inland Sea, hoping to reconnect with the entire Byron Union through the Jacob River.

The eyes of the entire Byron alliance focused on the source of the Jacob River, Andes Mountain, and the spies of various forces were like flies that smelled fishy, swarming there.

"Your Highness, the number of merchant travelers in the territory has been abnormal, obviously it is not the best time for trade, but the number is four or five times more than the most prosperous season in previous years, this is very abnormal, should you arrest them all. Amelia the Red Rose asked.

Amelia often appears as a diplomat of Princess Regent, but intelligence is her job.

Not only to spy on the intelligence of other territories, but also to prevent the leakage of information from your own territory.

He knows a lot about all kinds of espionage methods, including the seemingly advanced methods of the Eternal Night Army.

Because in this day and age, all espionage methods can't avoid one point - people.

With a relatively sparse floating population, every outsider is a worthy object of suspicion.

This is caused by the general environment, and the Eternal Night Army is powerless.

It is no exaggeration to say that the merchant travelers who flocked to the Manyu army during this time were arrested and cut down as spies, which is basically not wronged.

"No, the overall situation has been decided, and when they arrive, it is useless, so why do you want to do things absolutely and make yourself a loner?"

As the deal went smoothly, Sophia, who was in a good mood, stretched her waist and showed a beautiful curve, showing that there was a lot of material under the thick clothes.

Some lazy said: "Keep them, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, after all, they don't come empty-handed, empty-handed, what is this called? Commercial circulation, that's right, commercial circulation, only sufficient commercial circulation, can promote local development." ”

Amelia opened her mouth, wanting to complain about whether her princess was too poisonous in the Eternal Night Army, but she really couldn't find a reason to refute it.

On the contrary, the regent princess Sophia was a little interested in selling the half-understood economics she got from Sean, "Don't disagree, I think it makes sense, you see, since the Jacob River reflowed and the three parties began to trade, in just three months, the territory has undergone earth-shaking changes." ”

"Everybody's life seems to be much richer than before, but the wealth they actually create hasn't changed, and it's the power of the economy that comes from the flow of goods. ”

At the end, Princess Regent Sophia's sleek and delicate face sparkled, and her eyes lit up with excitement.

In fact, she had long felt the influence of trade on a territory, and when she was playing with the Holy Aether Holy See, in order to compensate the lords and nobles who had suffered losses, she offered them a series of preferential conditions, which promoted the trade in the territory in disguise.

But at the beginning, most of them were in exchange for the benefit of solving the matter, and they didn't think so far-reaching.

Even if I feel a little ignorant afterwards, I am always in a passive state, after all, the economics of this era have not even budded, and no matter how smart Sophia is, she has been restrained and limited.

It wasn't until a deep conversation with Sean that he was pointed out and suddenly realized, and there was a strong sense of resonance and identity.

To be honest, Sean's knowledge in this area is only superficial, including the explanation of some professional terms, which is not necessarily accurate.

But in this era of poverty and whiteness, it is completely possible to be an expert.

"It's over. Amelia lamented in her heart that Her Royal Highness the princess had been poisoned too deeply.

The Eternal Night Army is really terrible in some aspects, just like the poisonous plague, it will be infected if it is touched, and it is secretly vigilant in my heart, and we must pay attention to this aspect of prevention in the future.

The two have been together for many years, and as soon as they saw Amelia's lost soul, Sophia knew what the other party was worried about, and her expression returned to normal a little and said: "Don't worry, I know what I'm talking about, commerce is not omnipotent, the production of the people is the foundation, if there is no foundation, commerce is a platform in the air, there is no soil to take root and sprout, even if it is like a man with nothing, if you want to sell rock and black coal, you also need enough manpower to mine." ”

"The reason why I now rely on commerce and trade is because there is already such a foundation in our territory, innovative farming methods, the emergence of large-scale workshops, all need commerce as a basis, if the goods are not circulating, even if more food is produced, it will rot in their own hands, those people naturally have no enthusiasm for production, and for a period of time in the future, commerce and trade will be the focus of our development. ”

Amelia can become the person that Sophia relies on the most, naturally she is not bad at learning, and the biggest advantage of a smart person is that she can understand it at one point, Sophia has said it so bluntly, she naturally understands what it means.

But she also has her own stubborn side: "After all, the Eternal Night Commander is from a different background from us, and some things need to be treated carefully, especially some of the ideas of General Sean, not only are they unfriendly to the divine power, but they also question the royal power, this kind of thinking is very dangerous, not conducive to the rule, and it must be guarded against." ”

"Amelia is too worried, you yourself just said, this is just a concept, General Sean did not put it into action, because what does not exist is stifled, this is the work of tyrants, really smart rulers, should be broad-minded, from which to find the most suitable and most beneficial way to govern the country. ”

Sophia said meaningfully: "Our reform is not also an observation and implementation of ideas, the Eternal Night Commander will be a very important strategic partner for us in the future, Amelia can't look at others with this kind of discriminatory gaze, after a while, I am going to organize an exchange mission to be stationed in the Eternal Night Commander, exchange and learn from each other, I tend to let you personally lead the team, they do have a lot of things worth learning from us." ”

"If I really want to set up an exchange mission, even if His Highness does not have such a tendency, I will personally ask for my life. Amelia looked determined, as if I didn't go to hell and who would go to hell.

After repeated contacts, the threat index of the Eternal Night Group Army increased greatly in the mind of this excellent intelligence officer.

Suspicious.

It's her survival instinct and professional nature.

It's true that the Eternal Night Army is now their ally, but isn't the agreement meant to be torn up, and the allies just meant to betray?

She has an obligation to keep an eye on the other side, collect intelligence information from the other side, and prevent the worst from happening.

Having lived in the territory of the Eternal Night Army for three or four months, she thought she knew each other well enough.

Who knows, the Eternal Night Group Army has given her a series of shocks, first taking out the subversive strategic weapon of black powder, and then all kinds of innovative products, whether it is thin incredible paper, or crystal clear ceramic glass.

During her stay in the Eternal Night Army, she never found the slightest information.

Obviously, what they saw at the beginning was only the tip of the iceberg of the other party, and there were more things hidden by them in the mountains, which made their originally clear faces shrouded in mystery again.

In Amelia's eyes, the most dangerous creature is not the tooth-wrenching bird of prey, but the venomous snake that hides its body in the cave.

Because before the other party comes out of the hole, no one knows how big the other party is.

It is certainly not as simple as her joining the exchange mission for the sake of communication.

"I just like Amelia's serious look. Sophia was amused by Amelia's appearance, knowing that the other party had misunderstood her intentions, but she had no intention of correcting her.

As a mature politician, Sophia has long developed the fine habit of not trusting any one interest group.

Intimate, non-existent.

Keeping a distance and cooperating with vigilance is the right mode of opening.

Collecting information about the Eternal Night Army in advance does not mean that she wants to do anything to the Eternal Night Army, just taking precautions, just like the Eternal Night Army planted a nail around her early.

The first time we met, the amount of information Sean had in his hands already said a lot.

This situation is very common in power relations.

The relationship is good, as long as the other party is not too excessive, most of them turn a blind eye and pretend not to know.

If the relationship deteriorates, the tolerance level will drop sharply, and then it will be necessary to arrest and kill the others.

Princess Regent's forces and the Eternal Night Army are in the honeymoon period, and the tolerance level is naturally at the highest level, even if Sophia is a little blatant to throw sand into the Eternal Night Army, Sean has no way to completely refuse.

Because Sophia turned a blind eye and the spies of the major forces entered the princess's territory, the whole picture of the whole incident is being restored, although there is a lot of brain supplement.

But a few things are certain.

First of all, Princess Regent Sophia had been aware of the Jacob's resurgence before this, including Angie Bena, although her subjects firmly believed that it was the countess's prophecy.

There is no way to justify this, and everything that Princess Regent did two years in advance is the best proof of this.

There are many people who attack Sophia with this kind of thing, and at the same time, they also gasp solidly.

In the past few years, the situation of Princess Regent Sophia, who seems to be foolish, has been completely revitalized with the resumption of the Jacob River.

Most of the territory was located on both sides of the Jacob River, including enclaves that once seemed useless and were connected by the Jacob River.

What's even more terrifying is that Sophia already has a large number of fleets in her hands, and is constantly transporting supplies to these once barren lands, and it will not be long before this place will become a prosperous port and a strategic point that chokes a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

It is really offensive and defensible.

It's salivating and at the same time, there's nothing to be done.

Without the cooperation of a large number of ships, even if they forcibly captured these important places, they would not be able to hold them.
