The capital of the Kingdom of Orlante, Orlante City, the city has an alternative name called Oasis City.

Most of the kingdom's land is a vast desert, with only a limited number of oases scattered throughout the country, so the kingdom's land is barren and cannot rely on production to sustain the entire kingdom. With these oases as the center, the kingdom established dozens of cities. Among them, the conditions of Oasis City, are one of the best of all the cities. It is close to the northern coast and is the only supply point in the thousands of miles northeast of the entire continent. To the south is a steep snow-capped peak with a large amount of snow, which, after melting, merges into a river that flows into the center of Oasis City, nourishing the land around Oasis City for hundreds of miles with pure freshwater resources.

Due to its location, Oasis City looks more like a coastal corridor on the map. In the northwest, it connects the Smolin Kingdom, and in the southeast, it connects the Yan Empire, whether it is by water or land, it all passes through Oasis City, so the main economic source of the entire Orlante Kingdom is trade.

Lin Jue, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked at the map of the kingdom in his hand and was a little distressed. He was distressed that the people of this world had drawn a map that he struggled to read because they did not have professional knowledge of estimation and accurate cartographic skills. After all, it's a map of another world, and I can't rely on the previous world map for reference, so I can barely understand what I'm drawing for most of the day.

He had been in this place for five days because of his illness. Just yesterday, Bi Fang had come to inform him that he was going to meet His Majesty the King today. A few maids hugged his outfit, pulled him to the dressing mirror, stripped himself naked in three or two strokes, and then under his loveless gaze, a few cold little hands, groping up and down on his body, soon put on a new set of clothes for him.

However, this dress looks quite energetic, much better than the previous pajamas. With black leather boots, white pants, and a crisp blue top, Lin Jue estimated that if he got himself a white wavy hair and a logo hat, he would be more like an English gentleman. Although the Orlante Kingdom has made great efforts to get close to the Yan Empire in all aspects, it prefers to be close to the Smollen Kingdom for things like customs and clothing.

Bi Fang led the way in front, Lin Jue walked side by side with him, and behind him, two columns of white-clothed infantry, holding smoothbore guns, followed neatly behind.

Along the way, Bi Fang didn't say a word, which made Lin Jue a little depressed. Lin Jue asked a lot along the way, such as His Majesty's personality, temper, and so on, to ensure that he would not say the wrong thing later, causing him to lose his head. However, this officer, as if he didn't see his existence, didn't say a word, and was so angry that Lin Jue's teeth itched.

"Your Majesty, the people have been brought. Bi Fang respectfully reported to the gray-haired old man behind the desk.

Lin Jue arched his hands, bent over, and glanced up quietly, okay, he was complaining in his heart, such a bad old man could give birth to such a marked daughter, maybe because of the woman's genes, okay?

The old man raised his head and swept his eyes, looked at Lin Jue, and said, "You stay, the others go out first." ”

Everyone else exited the room, leaving Lin Jue alone, standing respectfully.

Mo Zun didn't speak, and continued to write and draw on a book with a pen, and the whole room, except for the sound of pen and paper rubbing, was quiet.

Lin Jue's forehead was a little sweaty, he raised his head slightly, glanced at Mo Zun, and found that the other party seemed to be as if he didn't exist.

Lin Jue coughed lightly, and after a long time, Mo Zun still didn't react.

"Do you want me to introduce myself first?" Lin Jue said secretly in his heart: "But how to say it? I want to think about it, what did those people on TV say?"

Lin Jue cleared his throat and said respectfully: "Grass people Lin Jue, meet His Majesty the King." ”

Seeing that the other party still ignored him, Lin Jue was puzzled, and said secretly: "I didn't say anything wrong, right?"

After a while, Mo Zun stopped his pen, raised his head, and looked Lin Jue up and down like this, Lin Jue was stared at for a while, so he simply raised his head, and also looked at the old man.

After a long time, two words popped out of Mo Zun's mouth: "Not bad." ”

Mo Zun said these two words without a head, Lin Jue paused for a moment, and wondered: "What's good?"

Mo Zun smiled: "I mean you kid is brave, tell me what you think." ”

"What do you think?" Lin Jue asked a little confused.

"This, you wrote it, right?" Mo Zun picked up a letter, shook it in front of Lin Jue's eyes, and said, "You have written all the problems faced by the Orlante Kingdom, tell me what solutions you have." ”

When Lin Jue saw this letter, he remembered that this letter was sent to the king by him for the little phoenix. He probably recalled the contents of the letter, organized the language in his mind, and said: "Actually, I can only see that these problems are one-sided, and as for how to solve them, or even whether they can be solved, I am not sure. ”

Mo Zun raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "What do you mean can be solved?" ”

Lin Jue explained: "The area of the Orlante Kingdom is about half of the Smolin Kingdom, but the land is barren, and most of the land cannot be used for production. But one thing is strange, in theory, the land that can be used for production and living is so scarce, and the population should be just as scarce. However, the population of the entire kingdom of Orlante was even comparable to the total population of the Smollen Kingdom, with a population of 80 million. In fact, these barren lands alone simply cannot feed so many people. ”

Mo Zun nodded and said, "That's true, go on." ”

Lin Jue paced back and forth in the room and said: "I calculated an account some time ago, the combat effectiveness of the kingdom's army is acceptable, according to the wars with foreign countries in the past hundred years, if only the combat power of the army is counted, it should also be a first-class power." As mentioned before, relying only on the barren land of the kingdom cannot feed so many people in the country, because the main economic source of the Orlante Kingdom is the price difference of trade materials, and there is a problem with this way of trade, and the kingdom relies on a large amount of money obtained from trade, and imports a large amount of grain to the Yan Empire and the Smolin Kingdom every year, so it can rely on a small amount of land to feed a huge population. Let's ask, if one day, the Yan Empire and the Smolin Kingdom go to war, the war between the two sides will fall into a stalemate, and it will be comparable. At this time, the two great powers will want to find an ally with a strong army. So, the mighty Orlante Kingdom Army came into the sight of both sides, and if both sides used the grain trade as a threat to try to hope that the powerful Orlante Kingdom Army would join one side, what would happen at that time?"

Mo Zun frowned and said, "Although it is unlikely that such a situation will occur, it is indeed a serious problem. ”

Lin Jue continued: "The kingdom's army is considered a first-class power, but its naval strength is not very good. However, if we want to solve the dilemma of grain trade, we can only vigorously develop maritime trade and trade grain with other powers. So, five years ago, the Kingdom of Orlante had a three-deck gun-deck warship that sailed the seas, hoping to build a powerful navy and open up sea trade routes. Everyone thought that the navy of the Orlante Kingdom was about to rise, and at this time, the battleship, in its home port, sank with a bang, causing Orlante's naval dream to come to an abrupt end. ”

Since then, the kingdom has not developed a navy. Everyone was stunned, wondering why His Majesty would rather put an outstanding ship designer in prison and seal up the huge dockyard than continue to develop the fledgling navy. Because these people don't know that the Orlante Kingdom has a fatal flaw, which leads to the fact that there are no conditions for the development of the navy at all, that is because, the territory of the Orlante Kingdom is almost completely covered by desert, there is no forest, there is no wood for building warships, all wood needs to rely on imports, the original battleship is already expensive, counting the amount of trade taxes, only this one, is already sky-high, and it is impossible to build a second one. In desperation, His Majesty had no choice but to protect the dockyard from the loss of technology, hide talents, and avoid defecting to other countries. ”

"The most critical problem now is that once a war breaks out between the two great powers of the Yan Empire and the Smolin Kingdom, the Orlante Kingdom, which is surviving in the gap between the two great powers, will completely break out the internal problems of the country, and the entire country will be destroyed in an instant. ”

Mo Zun sighed deeply and said, "You're right, I know all of this, but do you have a specific solution?"

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "I have just explained the main problems currently faced by the four aspects of the Orlante Kingdom's military, industry, commerce, and trade, and I said before that I am not sure if I can solve these problems, if I want to solve these problems, if I am in the Orlante Kingdom, I can't help it." ”

Mo Zun frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Then are you here to laugh at the predicament of the Orlante Kingdom? Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Lin Jue smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Your Majesty will calm your anger first, and the grass people will tell you the truth, in the territory of the Orlante Kingdom, I really don't have any solution, but it doesn't mean that I have no way to change places." ”

Mo Zun raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Lin Jue came to the wall facing the window, pointed to the huge map on the wall, and said, "To solve these problems, you only need to focus on this place, and all problems will be solved." ”
