Earlier, the mission of the Feather Kingdom sent a letter of state, expressing the intention of coming to participate in the midsummer celebration of the Snow Wolf Country, and emphasizing that the plague only spreads among the Feather Orcs, but Silas still did not allow the border to be allowed by the Feather Country Mission.

And this time, unlike dealing with the outcasts, Silas gave a death order after learning that there was a plague outbreak in the Feather Country, and all the orcs of the Feather Country who dared to cross the border would be shot!

Regardless of whether they can fly or not, if the border city guards dare to let one person into the country, they will be guilty of treason!

This decree is full of anger, but its effect is very significant, after all, compared to those people of the Yu Kingdom who want to flee into the Snow Wolf Country to escape the plague, for the guards of the border city, it is more important to the family members.

And that's just the external causes.

In fact, the seemingly peaceful Snow Wolf Country inside, life is not easy.

The mainland is full of these three powers, even if there is no lack of friction and contradictions between each other on weekdays, but they are also closely related, one is in chaos, and the other two may not feel anything, but with the war in the Central Empire, there is a plague in the Feather Country, how can the Snow Wolf Country be alone?

Since the border with the two countries was closed one after another, the first to suffer was the small merchants, many of whom could not bear it, and now they have begun to live by renting land again.

Although the big merchants still persisted, the plague that suddenly broke out in the country of Yu was the same worse for them.

"Big brother, it's easy for you to seal the border, but what about my people and goods?! I can't leave them alone, right?!"

In the study, Samuel stood at Silas's table with a dejected face, and the news of the plague in the feather country was the first thing he got from the caravan to tell Silas.

Yu Guo, he is the prince of the Snow Wolf Country, so it is naturally his duty to do so.

But for his own reasons, he couldn't leave his caravan behind, for him, the loss of goods was a matter of not inserting two gems on the roof, but he didn't want to lose anyone.

Not to mention, those people are used to the route of Snow Wolf Country and Yu Country, and they have quite mature relationships and contacts in Yu Country, just because those people first spread the news of the plague, and Yu Guo has merit, he can't just watch it!

"This is not your family's business, they are meritorious to the country, and I can compensate their family in the name of the king, but I must not let them back now.

If this opening is opened, how do you want me to stop the caravan in the hands of other nobles?

If I let you go, someone else's will have to be released, so what is the point of the sealing realm?

Don't forget, we also have the commoners of the Yu Clan here, and they are also your people, providing you with food and drink!"

Silas looked at his brother with a blank expression, and there was no trace of emotion in his voice.

Seeing this, Samuel angrily slapped the desk and said angrily:

"You can ignore them, but I can't, the people of the Yu clan have supported me, but the people in the caravan are also contributing to me and making money for me!"

"Are you comparing the people of the Feather Clan in the entire Snow Wolf Country with your caravan of dozens of people?"

Silas's wolf eyes narrowed slightly, and his cold gaze fell on Samuel's face without a trace of fluctuation.

"Big brother! I beg you, can I go by myself? You have withdrawn the guards guarding my house, and I promise that I will come back when the plague is over! Those dozens of people are also human beings! Among them are also Yu clan, and there are also parents, wives and children at home! I can't die without saving you, big brother!"

Samuel's eyes were red, his hands clenched into fists on the desk, his knuckles white.

"There's nothing to discuss, since they already have the Yu clan among them, they can't come back. Lately you have been staying at home and not going anywhere! Chief of the guard, you yourself will bring someone to send the prince back. ”

"Big brother!!" Samuel's face changed when he heard this, and he looked at Silas in disbelief.

In fact, he understands and understands Silas's decision, but he just can't accept the fact that he left those people to fend for himself.

At this moment, the picture of those people hooking up and walking on the business road involuntarily jumped into Samuel's mind.

The faces, which had been somewhat blurred by the years, were particularly clear in Samuel's mind at this moment.

"Your Excellency. The chief guard appeared at Silas' side, holding out his hand to the door.

"Humph!" Samuel froze with the head guard for a moment, snorted coldly, and turned away.

"Don't bother the teacher with your! He's too old to go to such a dangerous place!"

The moment Samuel walked out of the door, Silas's cold voice came into his ears again, but this time, if you look closely, you can hear that there is a trace of worry hidden in His Majesty's voice.

At Samuel's mansion, Luna and Charles listen to Gotte talk about the current form of the continent.

"So, now it seems that the merchants are the worst? As time goes on, more and more people will go bankrupt? There will also be an element of instability in our country?" Charles asked thoughtfully.

"It's not just that, it's probably going to be worse. After Gotte finished speaking, seeing Charles lost in thought, he turned to look at Luna, who had been listening to him lecture Charles, with a pen in his hand, and asked, "Do you understand?"

"I guess I understand something. Luna nodded, knowing that Gotte was talking about a vicious circle, in which the entire business system of society could collapse because of this difficulty.

"Can we sell the grain to the Central Empire, then?" asked Charles, after a moment's silence.

"Is it just for sale?" asked Gotte, smiling.

"Big brother, let's not sell it, let's exchange it with them. Luna put her pen back into the inkwell, and her energy came to her senses.

"For what?" Charles, turning to look at Luna.

"There are a lot of things that can be changed, let's change what we don't produce, medicinal materials, minerals, what's not good?

The things that are exchanged can also be given to the merchants. Isn't the teacher just worried that the merchants will have something to buy and sell?

Luna snapped her fingers and began to prepare.

In her opinion, if this thing is done well, it is completely possible to increase the tax revenue at the same time as the grain is realized, so that her father will not always have to worry about the little money in the treasury that is not enough.

As Luna's words fell, Charles fell into deep thought, and after a moment, said, "It's doable." However, it is difficult to say what role the nobles can play in it. ”

"Why?" Luna was stunned, and couldn't help but subconsciously turn her head to look at Gotte.

"If I'm not mistaken, the food you think of Luna should be the annual tax grain.

But this part of the grain has to be reserved for natural disasters and used as military rations, and more, the grain that can be bought and sold at will is still in the hands of the nobles.

In this way, if they make a large transaction, they will have to make a profit from it, and then pass it on to the merchants, and the cost during this period will greatly increase, and the price will also increase as a result. ”

Gotte patted Luna's little head and explained to her.
