Compared with the five regions such as the Caro region, which has undergone earth-shaking changes, the rest of the eastern region has not changed much in the past few years, and even the area designated as trading with the orc empire at the time of the announcement of the Pingtung Fortress is extremely deserted, and the transaction volume in a year is probably not as much as the transaction volume in a week in Mige City.

On the one hand, in the past four years, although all the areas in the eastern region have been purchased by the big families as family fiefs, and at the beginning, these families were indeed full of passion and invested a lot of energy in the hope of building these fiefdoms, but they suddenly found that the truth was far from as simple as they imagined. Most of the houses in the surrounding towns and villages were severely damaged by the war in the eastern region, and the purpose of these big families to buy fiefs was just to increase more taxes from these fiefs, and they did not think about doing anything for these low-status people, although many houses and shops were indeed built in their fiefs, but these signatures were all in the names of the nobles, and had nothing to do with the people in the fiefdoms.
Of course, they will also put forward some preferential conditions and concessions, for example, there is no grain to lend you to plant, but when the autumn harvest lends out a liter of rice to exchange for three liters, if you ask why, nonsense, if it is not to make money, why should I spend such a high price to buy this fiefdom, if I lend out a liter of rice, you give me back a liter and a half of rice, then when will the tens of millions of gold coins I buy the fief be recovered?
In this way, although the major families almost tried their best to prosper the fiefs they bought at a high price as soon as possible, in fact the effect was extremely insignificant, and four full years have passed, and the vast majority of the people in the eastern region are still living hungry and miserable.
On the other hand, after the end of the war, the eastern region suffered serious attrition, lacked a large number of laborers, and many villages were empty and desolate, which made those originally ambitious nobles see it, and the boiling blood was suddenly reduced to the extreme, in fact, in those main cities where materials are seriously scarce, even if you have gold coins, you can't buy the goods you want, and the wine that is common in other parts of the Delmar Empire has become an extremely scarce and straining commodity here, and in these areas where even food and clothing cannot be solved, not many people have extra money to buy goods other than food, and there is no profit, those caravans are naturally reluctant to come, and in the long run, the economy can only become more and more depressed.
In addition, although in the announcement of the Pingtung Fortress, it has been announced that the end of the hostile relationship with the Orc Empire has ended, but the estrangement between humans and the Orc Empire for hundreds of years is not something that can be simply eliminated by an announcement, for the Orc Empire, the vast majority of the people of the Demar Empire are still vigilant in their hearts, especially the area open for trading is on the side of the Pingtung Fortress, in order to guard against the Orc Empire, the open area of the Pingtung Fortress is only two days a week, and it must be strictly registered, but this does not exist in Mige City in the Yinzha area, and all the trading places are carried out in the outer city of Mige City, in the outer city, allowing those tall and burly orcs to trade freely, even if those orcs want to enter the inner city, they only need to register simply, and there are no restrictions.
Even in order to better trade with the Orc Empire, Huang Fei deliberately found some humans who lived in the Far East at the beginning, and began to popularize the orc language in Mige City, of course, it was limited to some commonly used languages, such as good morning, goodbye, gems, fur, rum and other words.
In the past few years, as the trade with the orc empire has become more and more frequent, the people in the Yinzha area have gradually discovered that in fact, those orcs who are rude and cruel in their eyes are not so terrible, and even sometimes they are very cute, for example, when they saw the hammer in front of the blacksmith shop and wanted to buy it as a weapon, the reluctance and pleading in their eyes when they were rejected by the blacksmith were really unbearable, if it weren't for the fact that this was the guy who ate by himself and couldn't sell it, the blacksmith even wanted to give it directly to the other party.
And after the opening of Mige City, the orc race, which was originally wary of humans, has been with these humans for a long time, and has also discovered the advantages of the other party, such as the other party's physical strength is not as good as his own, but he is more intelligent.
Just like the blacksmith's furnace that will never be extinguished, it can melt away iron that is harder than stone, and finally create a weapon that is harder than stone, and when I see the mace made of fine iron by a human blacksmith, every thorn is incomparably sharp, and then I look at my mace made of animal bone and wood, and I suddenly feel a sense of disgust and disgust in my heart - what kind of is this.
"Rebis, you are a human who truly regards us orcs as friends, and no matter what, we like the totem tribe will always have your back. ”
In a ** year, like the totem tribe patriarch Meng Anton personally went to Mi Ge City, and Huang Fei met again after many years, in the past few years of transactions, as a border with the Delmar Empire of the Black Sand Province, the benefit is the most obvious, originally regarded as a treasure of the iron pot has now become a totem tribe of essential items, accompanied, there are a large number of spirits, iron traps, coarse cloth, tea, ice glass products and other goods, in just over a year, the totem tribe slash-and-burn civilization directly jumped several stages.
In return, Meng Anton proposed that 3,000 orc warriors be incorporated into Huang Fei's fiefdom army to make up for Huang Fei's current lack of troops, and Huang Fei nodded and agreed without hesitation, which moved Meng Anton even more - he could allow his territory to have foreign armies to assist in defense without any hesitation, and he obviously fully recognized the other party's ally status in his heart.
Later, Meng Andong really sent 3,000 elite orc warriors selected from his own tribe to Mige City, and with the assistance of these orc warriors, Mige City had smoother trade with the Far East, and all previous obstacles were removed.
Looking at Mige City from the city wall, there were tall orcs surrounded by animal skins, and there were also humans in ordinary clothes, gathered in front of the carriage full of goods, bargaining, arguing with red faces, but soon, after the business was negotiated, they high-fived each other, and each left satisfied.
