In order to verify this matter, Sean also deliberately called out several think tanks around him.

Harry, Luke, and John of the Morgan family, as well as a few well-informed witches, let them help consider whether or not to engage in more foreign policy with Mersin.

In this world, due to the inconvenience of transportation, or the roads are not so well built, many border areas are still very muddy roads, and as for the airship, there are not many things that can be carried, and there is no way to form an endless flow of teams.

And the consumption of the airship is actually quite large, the cost is too high to be cost-effective to use it to transport ordinary food, otherwise you may die.

So once you decide to start a trade cooperation with Mersin, it means that you will have to spend some money to build roads on the border, and maybe more

"Mersin is a country close to the inland sea, its ports are all over the surrounding countries, and even farther reaches the islands and the southern continent of the sea, I don't think there is any problem in trading with Mersin, their seafood is abundant and cheap, and now it is the time of the civil war, as long as we can buy a large amount of frozen dried fish, or canned food, it is good to sell it in the mainland, and the price is enough to multiply the price. John Morgan said.

is worthy of being a member of a big chaebol family, and even at this time, he has to think about making a fortune

Make war money?

Sean thinks it's not bad, his city has always been short of money, so the old city doesn't have any chance to renovate.

"But then there is no price?" Sean asked.

Since it is so high, they should have mentioned it a long time ago, why do they say it now.

"Yes. ”

"We need to spend a lot of money to expand the roads and traffic between the two places, we didn't focus on the south because of the relationship between the Edak side, if the focus is now shifted to the south, the trade routes of the Edak may be much more deserted than before, because I have always felt that the country near the sea is more likely than the desert. ”

It's a businessman's intuition

In fact, the regional lords who had long before Sean had also considered which side to prioritize in the east and south.

Due to the constraints of population and economic environment, it is difficult to develop the other side after development, and in the eyes of many people, although Adak has the most yellow sand cover in the world, it also has the most gold and rare beasts in the world, and the oasis after crossing the desert has one of the best prosperous cities in the world, and they also have ports, so the previous lords prefer Adak's side.

Mersin in the south itself has not been looked at because of its small size.

"In that case, then why can't we wait for the trade routes on Adak's side to open again?" Harry asked suddenly.

If you want to ask about the direction of governance and management, the direction of popular and political development, it is true that Harry and Luke are more proficient around him, but John, who is of course the Morgan family in business, knows better.

Originally, Sean also wanted to cultivate Luke's old lover, and Esmerda became one of the leaders of the local business community, but since coming to Oro City, this girl has been much more low-key, making Sean vaguely feel that Esmeda intends to suppress herself and make Luke more conspicuous.

Anyway, there is a feeling of abandoning their careers and choosing a family, so the two have become much more harmonious than before, and maybe it won't be long before Sean will be able to receive their wedding invitation.

That's fine.

It's people's own choice, and Sean can't say anything.

However, the two siblings at the beginning, the younger brother Claude gradually rose up because of his unique inventions, perhaps it is for this reason that Esmeda wants to hand over the family business to her younger brother and let go of the pursuit of her own happiness.

Looking at the discussion between the three of them, Luke's question was similar to Harry's

"Because we don't have time. ”

"It will take a lot of time to reopen the trade routes in the Aidak area. Harry said.

"I don't mean this, but the time for the war is running out. John's statement made the two even more baffled.

"You mean the North?" Sean finally spoke.

"Not only the north, but also the entire empire, should you consider the preparation for various situations that may happen next? If the empire is defeated and a large number of Borgs go south, Rietis may still resist for a while, but if it is pointless to resist at that time, many places will definitely choose independence or vassalage in order to protect themselves. ”

The wall is down and everyone pushes it?

Sean listened to John's words, and he did think about his own plans once the empire fell

"Lord Earl has become famous in the war, there is no one more suitable to be a lord in this land than you, whether it is the city of Bahahama in Edak or the Mersin region, I am afraid that I have heard your story, and it is still a time of war, we can take advantage of this time to buy Mersin's seafood and transfer it to the north by airship, in this special period food is more precious than gold, we must leave more chips to use in the future." ”

John said very badly, just because he was from the Basharan Empire, so he couldn't say anything rebellious.

But the three people present were all smart people, how could they not understand

John Morgan's meaning is to let himself take advantage of the war to make a lot of money, no matter whether the empire seems to be defeated in the future, with the unique advantages of the Amoro region, as long as they are willing to annex, the Borg will still let Oro City continue to exist.

It sounds like an impersonal approach, but

Sean thought it worked.

"How sure are you?" asked John suddenly.

"Ninety percent. I have inquired about the situation in the north, where thieves are rife, and the food we bring with us is fetched a great deal of money if we sell it to the local lords, and these are worth far more than the price of an airship. ”

"Then you can arrange this matter, now in the spring, if there is a problem with spring planting in various regions, the next price will rise wildly, I hope you can stabilize the situation in the city, at least not in a short period of time"

"Yes. All three replied at the same time.

Sean can only stabilize the current situation as much as possible, if the war really reaches the point of imminent defeat, I am afraid that the currency of the Basharan Empire will have to be exchanged for gold in advance.

Hopefully, the North will get through.

That same night, Sean fell asleep normally.

The dream picture that had not appeared for a long time appeared vaguely again

Faintly, as if someone was talking to themselves, but as if they were whispering.

Shaun saw a large procession running in the desert in the distance, and in some unknown place, he saw an elderly man in a fine costume sitting high, and an invisible dark shadow crawling behind him.
