Chapter 172: A Severe Winter of Heavy Snow

readx;? Elder Dragonstone's attitude had long been expected by the little duke, after all, the dragonmen were notoriously arrogant and wanted them to accept such an offer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unless the sun hits the west and comes out.

In fact, although Lin Ye did not give a speech at the conference, it was precisely because of his instructions that the elders proposed such a proposal.

Feeling insulted, Dragonstone naturally withdrew from the Far Eastern Council, arrogantly not realizing that this was a disrespectful act.

Lin Ye also got what he wanted, which was the reason to unite the Blackwater River and the Demon Beast Mountain to declare war on the Dragon's Breath Valley.

Of course, now that Warcraft Mountain has suffered a heavy blow, it is very difficult to draw troops from here, and the main force will still be served by his new army.

However, he was in no hurry to march.

Because he still has a lot to do before the official declaration of war.

The first thing is to send orcs to Dragon's Breath Valley to do business, and send all kinds of new gadgets from Dawn Town to Dragon's Breath Valley to barter.

Hype up the Blackwater River area.

This is a propaganda offensive.

The second is that he found out that the top of the dragon tribe is not united, which involves a series of historical reasons.

The previous dragon tribal patriarch died young, leaving only a pair of young siblings.

At that time, the two siblings were only five or six years old, and they had no way to control the huge dragon tribe, so Long Shi came to power as the chief elder.

To put it bluntly, it plays the role of a guardian, greedy for authority.

Now the two siblings are fifteen or sixteen years old, and they are no longer willing to be controlled by Longshi.

This gave Lin Ye a chance, and he sent people to infiltrate the dragon tribe to operate, hoping to find a breakthrough.

All that remains is the internal affairs of Dawning Town, as well as maritime trade.

Production was in full swing at the factories, trade was going very well, and in addition to the early signature beer, there was a very good market for paper, glassware, porcelain, etc.

And these are all oriented to the aristocratic group, and enjoy a good reputation among the nobility.

The cargo throughput of the port of Blackwater is constantly increasing, and more and more cargo merchants are coming and going, with more than 20 ships docking every day.

Even so, goods are in short supply.

The owner and crew of the ship did not have the slightest impatience during the long wait, because the port had a place for them to eat, drink and be merry.

Fick Casino, in particular, has become a place they will never want to return.

The casino earns more than 20,000 silver coins per day, which is quite a staggering number.

But that's just a tiny amount of Blackfire Castle's revenue.

The orcs had speculated about how much money the Duke would earn in a month.

But they add all their hands and feet together, and then use the ninety-nine multiplication table that the little cub at home has learned, and they still can't come to a conclusion.

All you know is that this number is very large.

Of course, Lin Ye is not a miser, often as soon as the money arrives in the accounts, he spends a lot of money.

Translate it into large quantities of food, sophisticated equipment, and laid out railroad tracks.

In order to avoid the trouble of transporting large quantities of silver coins back and forth and counting them, Lin Ye introduced the form of a bill of exchange.

Sign the trade quota directly into a number, with his seal and a unique autograph.

With the deep pockets of Dawning as a guarantee, merchants were happy to accept bills of exchange, which could be cashed in ports with which Dawn had business dealings, and they were as tough as gold!

Lin Ye was not worried about someone forging it, because the paper used for the money order could only be made in his factory, and there was no semicolon.

Moreover, this kind of paper is not sold to the outside world, and the management of the factory is extremely strict.

For at least twenty years, no one but his factory could produce paper of the same quality.

And within the realm, paper money has been issued since the introduction of the eight-hour workday, which is very satisfying to both humans and orcs.

Banknotes come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100.

Lin Ye himself was born in the Department of Finance and knew the harm caused by inflation.

Therefore, an economic supervision group was specially set up to count the circulation of money in the market and the corresponding purchasing power, so that adjustments could be made at any time, otherwise his efforts would be in vain once the market was chaotic.

These currencies were originally paid in the form of wages to factory employees and then circulated in the market.

Over time, foreign merchants also began to use this currency frequently, and after a series of accidental factors, it began to circulate in the outside world.

The formation and circulation of money is a long process.

However, in the Far East it has become an independent economic system of its own.

And there is a tendency to continue to radiate to the periphery.

The number of immigrants to Dawn Town also grew, and the population quickly swelled to 8,000 people.

Coupled with the orc students, the permanent population of Dawning Town is close to 10,000.

It was only then that people began to admire the little duke's foresight, and after a few months, the town of Dawn was already very prosperous.

In order to solve the population pressure, Lin Ye even began to plan satellite towns around Dawn Town, and added an orc permanent living area.

As for the foreign population, he set up an immigration bureau to review the immigrants, and after passing the qualifications, they were approved to enter the town of Dawn.

Although the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, Lin Ye still doesn't want some strange things to pour into his territory.

With the growth of the population, the labor force is gradually stabilized, and it is supported by strong economic strength.

He gradually introduced the system of professional soldiers, making them a secure profession rather than a rabble that were improvised during war.

Of course, there is also a reserve system, which allows some young people of appropriate age to receive professional military training.

Until then, a standing army of 500 men is still very necessary.

Among them, the number of the First Army, which was composed entirely of Far Easterners, was always maintained at 100 men.

The Second and Third armies were expanded to 200 men each.

An additional 100 security units have been added to the Forces nouvelles.

It is used to maintain law and order in the town.

Liaison officers were added to various areas of the Blackwater River and Warcraft Mountain, responsible for the transmission of information, for which he and Jason discussed how to build a complete intelligence network, and after receiving the carrier pigeon as a revelation, Jason proposed to let the orcs train a kind of raptor to transmit information.

Since there are no carrier pigeons in this world, Lin Ye simply called this trained bird of prey a carrier pigeon.

The training of the carrier pigeons was left to Wolff.

Two months later, winter is progressing in, and although the weather is as cold as usual, this year the Far East is exceptionally warm.

Not only the charcoal fires and food sent by the little duke to the various tribes, but also because the orcs saw hope.

When the heavy snow turned the Far East into a snow-covered landscape, all the dragons chose to stay at home and spend this harsh winter.

However, on the day when the heavy snow stopped, the young orcs said goodbye to their loved ones.

With weapons in hand, they responded to the call of the Duke and began to gather in the direction of Dragon's Breath Valley.

On this day, Lin Ye, the actual controller of the Heishui River region and the Warcraft Mountain region.

Declare war on Dragon's Breath Valley!(To be continued.) )
