In the city of Dadir, Baron Sith, who had barely restored a few houses, finally had a place to stay.

didn't have time to consider the development of the territory, and a group of northern Xinjiang nobles ran over. Listening to everyone's complaints, the Sith, who was originally full of anger, slowly calmed down.

Human nature is so weird, when you are unlucky, you find that there is a group of unlucky people around you, and your mood will instantly improve a lot.

The city of Dadir is in ruins, but the excellent location is still there. Once Leyter is developed, it will still be the most suitable area for commodity trade, and the development potential will still be the greatest.

……

"Knight Darron, you calm down first, impulsiveness won't solve anything. This kind of thing happened, and no one wants to see it.

We are all victims in this matter, but that doesn't mean we can act rashly.

It's easy to bring people to the door to ask for an explanation, but the problem is that if they don't admit it, they insist that it is for the relief of refugees, and we will become very passive.

It is impossible for the Governor's Office to support us, and once there is an excuse to intervene, it will definitely come out and pull the strings.

Personally, I recommend saluting before soldiers. You can send someone to bring a gift and thank them for taking care of them these days, and then ask them for it.

If they can make friends, it will be the best. If they don't cooperate, we can also take extraordinary measures, and we can also have a moral advantage.

In this way, even if the Governor's Mansion wants to pull the shelf, there is no reason to intervene. ”

Sith said calmly.

The grinding on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang is not in vain after all. Following the Grand Duke of Cavadia, what I heard and saw the most was politics.

After calming down, when I thought about how to solve the problem, I naturally chose "political priority".

As for right and wrong, it doesn't matter in the world of aristocracy, what everyone values more is the pros and cons.

The rational response hurt the nobles who originally wanted to encourage the Sith to come out. Competitors not only have strong strength and identity backgrounds, but they also have brains, how can they play?

Originally, some nobles who were not very firm in competing for the position of leader, or were not sure, have begun to think about whether to go to the past.

The nobles who can be sent out to start another business are all carefully selected children of each family, and they may be limited by the growth environment and lack comprehensive ability, but they will definitely not be fools.

Soon he understood the true intentions of the Sith, whether it was false to live in peace with the native nobles, and to create a reasonable excuse for his prestige was what he wanted.

If outsiders want to gain a foothold in an unfamiliar place, the first thing to do is not to unite with others, but to show their strength first.

There is no doubt that it is also necessary to pay attention to skill to show strength. If you want to gain a foothold in the southeastern province, you can't pull the hatred too deep, at least you can't push all the nobles in the province to the opposite side.

"Sir Sith, the nobles of the southeastern provinces are very hostile to us, and I am afraid that not only will they not appreciate your kindness, but they will think that we are afraid of them.

As land snakes, these guys have deep roots in the local area. If we take extraordinary measures, they will definitely call friends.

We are naturally not afraid of war, the key is that outside the battlefield, we will be subject to new difficulties.

For example, the price of grain in the southeastern provinces has begun to skyrocket, and it has increased by 50 percent compared with before we came, and it is about to catch up with the price of grain in the north.

The prices of other types of daily necessities are also rising. In particular, the price of slaves has directly doubled compared to the same period in previous years.

I don't know if you have noticed, but when the caravans see us, they all take a detour, let alone do business. It's very abnormal, as if someone is manipulating.

If the conflict between us and the local aristocracy escalates, this situation may become more and more serious, and it may even impose an economic blockade on us altogether. ”

Baron Sutton opened his mouth in warning.

The family from which he was born was engaged in logistics and finance, and Baron Sutton was particularly sensitive to changes in the price of materials.

After arriving in the southeastern province, the first thing he did was not to rush to his own territory, but to inquire about the price changes to see if there were suitable business opportunities. As a result, the business opportunity was not discovered, but the crisis was perceived by him.

The order of the Alpha Kingdom still exists, and even if there is infighting, it is generally limited to a reasonable range.

It is not dangerous for noble lords to attack each other. Even if there were heavy casualties, it was the soldiers below who died. The safety of the nobility itself is still guaranteed.

No one can be killed, and the territory cannot be forcibly taken. Even if it is a direct vassal, he cannot deprive a vassal of his territory for no reason.

In contrast, it is a battle outside the battlefield where there is no smoke of gunpowder, which is more bloody and cruel.

Because of the economic blockade caused by infighting, it rarely happened in the past, and the most critical reason is that under the unique territorial economic system, almost every lord is a small industrial cycle and can basically achieve self-sufficiency.

Especially in a fertile land like the southeastern province, even if it is blocked for three or five years, the noble lords still should eat and drink.

But the lords present could not do it, they had not yet had time to lay a foundation. It's like a territory in a no-man's land, but it doesn't have the ability to provide them with the most basic material support.

After hesitating for a while, the Sith said fiercely: "Since it is possible to be subject to an economic blockade, then we will take the initiative to break this blockade net first."

No matter who is behind the scenes, the economic blockade can only be aimed at our group of outsiders, and it can't block the local aristocracy at all.

If you want to tear this big net, you must get the cooperation of some local nobles. Under normal circumstances, they will definitely not cooperate, so it is indispensable to use extraordinary means.

How to do it, everyone decides for themselves. But you still have to pay attention to proportion, don't force people to rush.

In case the toss is too much, they directly give up the construction of the fiefdom, and they will continue to consume it with us, then it will be a big trouble. ”

The nobles and nobles of the Northland, who expressed their opinions, ended in the city of Dadir for two days, and it is worth mentioning that no banquet was held in the middle.

Obviously, this group of nobles who have been adding blood to the battlefield all year round are more pragmatic than their presence in ceremonies.

……

The counterattack of the Northland nobles began, and the native nobles of Wright and Wyton counties instantly felt the pressure.

The Knight of Nanshan, the Knight of Coelho, who has just inherited the territory, is one of the unlucky eggs.

Originally, he was not ready to pick up the bargain, after all, his family was greatly damaged in the rebellion, and he had no capital to cause trouble at all.

But people sit at home, and "blessings" come from heaven. There was nothing to do, and a group of refugees strayed into his territory.

Watching the neighbors rob people and quickly replenish the labor force of the territory, it is false to say that they are not jealous. Anyway, the refugees were sent to the door by themselves, and he didn't rob them, so he simply took them in.

With more than 500 refugees to replenish him, the progress of the reconstruction of his territory has also been greatly advanced, making Coelho as happy every day as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

It's a pity that the good days are short-lived, and without enjoying the demographic dividend for a few days, the owner ran over to ask for it.

Looking at the gift in front of him, Coelho wished he wasn't at home. It's a pity that the other party didn't give him a chance to refuse at all, indicating that he intended to put down his things and leave.

Weak strength is the original sin, and bowing to the strong is not a shame. After using more than a month of free labor in vain, it is not a loss to return it now.

But the problem is that he only accepted 500 refugees, but the other party insisted that he accepted 1,000 refugees. After thanking him for his care with the gifts, he asked him for the people.

It is clear that it is blackmail, and this kind of thing can not be compromised. But the problem is that I really can't beat it!

Except for him, a lord, who can fight, there are only a few guards left, and the rest of the armament is consumed in the war.

Gather a group of serf soldiers and make an appointment with the elite from the north. You don't even have to start a battle to know the winner.

Heads-up does not make a group fight. As an aristocrat who has been rooted in the local area for many years, there was no shortage of connections, but unfortunately most of these relationships were buried in the rebellion.

Even if he is lucky enough to keep the inheritance, the current situation is similar to that of Coelho, and he is still too busy to take care of himself, how can he take care of others?

There are indeed some relationships outside the county, but it's a pity that in order to be able to inherit the title smoothly, the favor has been almost consumed.

The most important thing is that even if people look at the past friendship and are willing to help now, it will not quench their thirst.

"Master, why don't you ask the Sharpbow Knight for help? Although they didn't deal with each other, your aunt and grandmother married into the Coslow family, and we are all relatives.

The relationship is a little farther away, but everyone is neighbors next to each other, just watching you being bullied, he can't hang his face! ”

The words of the old butler reminded Coelho. It is indeed a bit reluctant to say that it is a relative, but it is true that the Coslow family is in-law.

It is a pity that three generations have passed since the marriage relationship, and the parties involved have long been graved, and even the marriage partner is a branch of the Coslow family in Wyton County.

Theoretically, even if you ask for help, you should talk to your relatives in Wyton County. It's a pity that the Wyton branch is now also too busy to take care of itself.
