Lilith Bristol.

After sending the other party away, Sean wrote the name in the magic book he carried with him, so that he could remember and find her later in his busy work.

Now the magic book that Lucille gave him has been repurposed, although it only fills in some of the blind spots of alchemy, and the next few pages are used by Sean as a work note, recording what work the people around him have been sent to do.

Otherwise, the earl is really busy with work every day, and sometimes he can't remember to take care of the tasks he has given before, and even if he is free, he doesn't bother to think about so much...... But those people won't move without urging.

Sure enough, laziness is a common problem!

But the matter of the Deep Diver has to be concerned, or any news about the followers of the Old Gods is worth their own attention.

I don't know when I will come out to make trouble again......

........................

During this period of spring planting, the busiest were several other persons in charge of specific affairs, because they had given a lot of money and grain to the Northern Emperor earlier, and after the spring, especially after the trade route to Edak was blocked, the budgets found that if the production of Oro City was not increased and trade was stimulated, I am afraid that the entire city would fall into a state of no surplus food at the end of the year.

So at this time, Mersin's seafood and its trade became an important part, but it was not good to be too public, and the lords of the south and other regions were also worried about it, and if they joined in, it would suddenly raise the price of Mersin.

Of course, this is not the most annoying, the most annoying thing is that once there is any problem on the front line of the empire, they will reach out to the south to ask for money and food without any scruples.

If you spend another part of it, Oro City will be difficult at the end of the year~

For this reason, Sean has repeatedly invited people from the Divara and Morgan families to the Earl's Court, and repeatedly emphasized that they should take the lead in leading other wealthy families and retainers to develop more industries, livestock or planting, even growing fruits.

Otherwise, the first to be 'opened and put grain' must be their rich families, even in the Earl's Court, in order to save money, Sean will also reduce the cost of daily meals by a notch, and the stew for breakfast every day is now replaced by mashed potatoes and polenta, which are easier to grow.

"Don't worry, my lord, our current airship seafood business is doing well, and we have made tens of thousands of gold coins in our latest transaction at one time, as long as we continue to do so, we will definitely be able to make more money. John Morgan assured himself in front of him.

Hearing tens of thousands of gold coins, even the people of the Divara family were not calm, but looking at the other party's confident smile did not seem to be fake.

"So many?"

"Of course, this is still the price we have initially negotiated, as long as we lower the price of Mersin more, I believe that the price of sea goods will double in the near future. ”

"Is it that serious?"

Even Sean was surprised, it seemed that the hidden danger that this war had planted in the north had begun to break out.

Even if the war can be resolved, what about the millions of refugees left behind? Homeless and without food, even if the lost land in the north is recovered, it will be a matter of the future, and food will have to be eaten every day.

"Maybe it's worse, I haven't seen the victims on the front lines of the war, but I'm said to be so hungry that I ate everything...... roots, bark, and even dirt. Those who can hunt can also go to the mountains to hunt, while the weaker groups are entrenched on the outskirts of various towns, and robberies, thefts and murders are common. Many northern lords have a lot of headaches about this. John said.

Sean had thought about this kind of thing before, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly!

The city of Oro was ready for the consequences of the war before it began to spread......

"Let Joseph guard all the towns in the Oro region, especially the checkpoints from the north. There is no need for so many soldiers in the city for the time being, and all the garrisons take turns patrolling the surrounding towns, and if they find any lawbreakers, they will be arrested directly. Sean rubbed his head and ordered.

Now it's time to survive, and there are still hundreds of thousands of mouths waiting for you.

No mercy seems meaningless!

Charles and John nodded in succession.

"There is also the smuggling of seafood, which should be done cleanly and not let any outsiders know. ”

Ever since Sean asked the other party to be responsible for reselling Mersin's seafood, there have always been two classifications.

An official purchase of Oro City is used to supplement the food shortage in the city; the other is to go to the black goods, let John be responsible for the trade with a group of special people, and let the transportation at a low price in the north, a complete set of systems can earn tens of thousands of gold coins by air, and even millions a month, which is simply a windfall.

But the dangers of doing so are enormous......

Since the addition of the Adak forces, there are faint signs of victory in the northern battlefield.

And I'm afraid that a southern lord is still making a lot of money, so I need to let others do this kind of thing.

"Don't worry, my lord, those people were born in this line of work, and they will do things neatly and without leaving tails. John said.

"Let's let Barnier watch them a little bit, so as not to make a mess!" Sean was still a little uneasy.

I couldn't let myself come forward in this matter from the beginning to the end, and I couldn't even mention my name, so I could only use a code name...... Because Barnier and the others have never been included in the orthodox garrison, they are still considered ordinary mercenary squads to the outside world, but they are hired by a mysterious person called 'Joker' to do illegal things with other underground gangs.

Sean must not show up, so he can't judge the other party's loyalty in person.

"Yes, sir. John agreed.

There is not much money in Oro City, and some of the money cannot be brought to the surface, otherwise it will be difficult for the empire to explain, and there are many righteous and awe-inspiring citizens who are not easy to speak.

The underground bank has become the place where its own currency circulates!

"Well, let's go down first. After calling the two away, Sean continued to return to his research and studies......

After that, another week passed, and the city of Oro continued its normal way of life, and it is said that the academy invited itself to visit several times after knowing that he had been there once, and wrote a scroll of the refining method he had asked about that day and gave it to him.

The dean also invited Sean to attend the graduation ceremony of the academy later......

These are all within the scope of normal lord work, and the only thing that makes Sean feel a headache again is from the north.

The temperature gradually turned from cool to hot, and King Simon, who was far away in the imperial capital, gave another order.

I hope that the southern lords can send some more food and money, and this time they directly expressed the amount they wanted.
