It turns out that problems cannot be solved by discussion.

After taking stock of the countries on the continent, Pius VII simply did not find a significant ally.

With the exception of the younger brother of the Holy See, the positions of countries can be generally divided into two types: direct anti-Holy See and neutral anti-Holy See.

The former is represented by the Kingdom of the Franks and the Kingdom of Alpha, while the latter is represented by the Kingdom of Libya, the three countries of the Middle Continent, and many small countries on the mainland.

Of course, the actual actions of the parties are one thing, and the verbal performance is another.

When the news of the establishment of another papacy in the Frankish kingdom broke, the Libyan people immediately came out to condemn it, and then their church also made small moves.

The performance of the three Central Continent countries is also interesting, calling for calm on all sides and sending people to participate in the separate papal council initiated by the Frankish kingdom.

The Alpha Kingdom only condemned the atrocities of the Holy See for a few words, and did not come out to brush up its existence, but their church had completely copied the institutions of the Holy See.

The heart of rebellion is on the bright side, and one day a Northern Continent Holy See will appear, and everyone will not be surprised.

Fortunately, the Terran Alliance Council is in an intersessional period, otherwise the alliance would have to be tossed and collapsed if it was tossed up like this.

It is impossible to mediate, several big forces of the human race are the protagonists in the turmoil, and who dares to be blind in the remaining small countries!

There is no one to persuade the human race to fight, and the interracial alliance in the outside world is even more eager for them to fight directly, and they are all busy fueling the flames behind their backs.

Fortunately, the gods are involved in the human race, and the major forces of the human race are fighting among themselves, and the internal contradictions of the interracial alliance are gradually intensified.

It is not easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is even more difficult to share prosperity.

The previous distribution of the spoils of war has caused contradictions between several foreign races in the Central Continent, and the current internal trade imbalance has exacerbated this contradiction.

The protagonist of the turmoil is the dwarven kingdom, which is at the top of the trade chain by virtue of its monopoly position in the arms market.

The elves are also vested interests, the dwarves forge weapons and equipment, and they use magicians to portray magic arrays for equipment, occupying a dominant position in the field of high-end arms.

An ordinary piece of equipment can be exchanged for tons of grain and ore. Magical equipment is even more valuable, and it often takes a tribe of 10,000 people to work for several years.

At the beginning, everyone didn't find any problems, after all, this is the market price.

The high price of weapons, in addition to the technological monopoly, is also the opaque information.

In the eyes of all ethnic groups, the cost of these advanced weapons is certainly not expensive, and it is normal for them to be expensive.

After a long period of contact, the situation gradually changed.

Everyone was surprised to find that the production cost of these weapons and equipment was much lower than they expected.

Three or five times the profit, that is the friendship price after "breaking the bone". More than ten times the windfall profit is the norm.

Some masterworks, with a premium of up to a hundred times the cost of production, are possible.

The more you know, the more you will inevitably lose your mentality. The various races that were unwilling to be exploited jointly put forward a request for price reduction to the dwarf race.

There is no doubt that such an "unreasonable demand" is naturally impossible to accede to.

The dwarves' weapons have always been in short supply, and for the sake of everyone being allies, they are open to supply.

If you want to buy it outside, you have to increase the price before you can mention the goods.

If you like to buy, you can buy, if you don't buy it, you will pull it down, and the dwarf will do business, and the main thing is to be straightforward.

The worst of all are the orcs, because of the distance, they need to go around a large circle from the territory of the alien alliance to purchase weapons and equipment.

The tolls along the way were paid, and the price that was already in the sky floated directly out of the atmosphere.

The high price is not the worst, what is even more tragic is that they belong to the pure buyers, and the domestic goods cannot be sold at all.

It's not that the allies are deliberately lowering prices, it's entirely due to geographical location.

The sea trade line was blocked by the Alpha Kingdom, and the land traffic was dead

The line must first travel through the ice and snow world before it can trade with the Ancient Relic Alliance.

Poor transportation conditions have caused most of the goods they produce to lose their trading value.

What can be traded is some hard currency left. For example: magic crystals, magic cores, magic materials.

Against this background, the orc empire did not buy much weapons and equipment, and there was a massive outflow of wealth.

In the past, the best way to calm the trade deficit was to take the army to rob the Terrans.

At this moment, the various races within the orc empire are busy fighting among themselves, and they can't work together at all, and there is no way to talk about looting.

Of course, the most important reason is that there is nothing to grab now.

The Near East is only the territory of the Alpha Kingdom on paper, and the ports are still being selected, and no shadow can be touched.

The seven provinces of northern Xinjiang have just been plagued, and there are only land and remnants of castles left, and the farther north belongs to the poor and hard bones.

Perhaps in the hearts of many orc tribes, they are still looking forward to the Alpha Kingdom to quickly develop the Near East and cultivate "leeks".

Everyone has a bunch of to deal with, and the continent of Aslant is too peaceful. Except for the occasional orc tribe, the overall situation gradually stabilized.

The clover continued, but Hudson was no longer worried. The Holy See did not act immediately, which meant that it had to resort to diplomatic means to solve the problem.

Obviously, this is the result of being forced out.

Without the support of the countries, the Holy See had no chance of winning at all on the expedition to the Frankish kingdom.

If you want to "make an example of the chickens", you can't find a suitable target.

Those who directly oppose the Holy See are not easy to provoke, there are so many heretics on the mainland, if you accidentally lose a lot, it will really be over.

Neutral and anti-papal ones are slightly easier to bully, but the political influence is too bad.

Instead of killing, the "chicken" forced the neutral faction into a direct anti-papal camp, making the situation even worse.

Those with vested interests are not stupid, so they naturally have to weigh the pros and cons. The more you think about it, the more you don't dare to get your hands dirty.

Seeing that the two sides were fighting, Hudson was relieved. As long as there is no fight in a short period of time, no one has the luxury of expecting the two hegemons to live in peace in the future.

If the Frankish Kingdom and the Holy See were to reconcile, the Alpha Kingdom would not be able to mix.

In the past, the kingdom dared to fight against the Holy See, in addition to the distance between the two sides, the most important thing was that there were Franks in front of them.

In recent years, as long as the Holy See has made a big move, the Frankish kingdom will definitely lag behind, and vice versa.

The two major forces add to each other's blockage, and only then can countries live a good life.

After putting down the information in his hand, Hudson continued to refine the development plan of the Snow Moon Territory with his staff.

"Duke, according to the Kingdom's strategic plan for the Near East, we will be the first to open up the wasteland.

After taking into account various factors, the Ministry of Government believes that the early development of the territory should take the port as the core.

The orcs lacked seafaring skills, and even if something happened, we could evacuate from the sea.

The first group of immigrants were mainly fishermen. It can not only solve the problem of meat for the front-line garrison, but also protect it from the threat of orcs.

The Ministry of Government Affairs plans to send 3,000 fishermen to the port of Crescent after the port is successfully opened.

Once we have gained a foothold, we will gradually increase the number of immigrants.

Judging from the progress of the port opening, the resettlement work will start next year. It is estimated that in the year 99994 of the sacred calendar, we will emigrate 20,000 people to Xueyueling.

In three years, the total number of immigrants in the area will exceed 100,000!"

Jacob said in high spirits.

They are all beneficiaries of this eastward development of Xueyue Ling. Hudson's pie painting technique, although rudimentary, is definitely trans-era in the continent of Aslant.

In order to let his subordinates work hard, Lord Hudson has painted a beautiful picture for everyone after the development of the Snow Moon Collar is completed.

Status, glory and wealth, that's everything. For the purpose of guarding against orcs

Hudson even created a unique new aristocracy.

Naturally, there are fiefdoms, but everyone doesn't need to manage them separately, but he, the feudal lord, plans and manages them in a unified manner, and everyone can directly take the income dividends.

Under normal circumstances, such a play would be perceived as a malpractice, with the exception of the Near East.

With the orc's good neighbor, it is a miracle that the territory of the small and medium-sized nobles can break even, and the slightest carelessness will kill the territory.

Instead of living in a crisis every day, it is naturally better to manage in a unified manner and share risks together.

The power is limited, but the advantage is that the security is improved, and the upfront development investment is saved!

For the new aristocracy, the period of land reclamation is the most prone to accidents. Many noble lords have fallen on this most critical link.

It was easy to follow the Hudsons, and according to this plan for the construction of the new aristocratic system, they were directly exempted from the initial risks.

For the follow-up rights issue, join the potential group of nobles first, and then consider it after accumulating the first pot of gold in your life!

The only fly in the ointment is that the threshold for joining this program is very high, and only retainers who have made great contributions are eligible to obtain it, which is more difficult than getting a knighthood.

"There's nothing wrong with the plan, but it's too conservative. According to your plan, the Kingdom's Near East strategy will not be completed on time.

The Crescent Harbor is not only the port of the Snow Moon Territory, but also the kingdom's largest military port in the Near East. In addition to undertaking the development of the territory, it is also necessary to support the construction of the territory of other nobles.

To put it simply, after the opening of the Crescent Harbor, we not only have to gain a firm foothold in the local area, but also provide follow-up material support for the Near Eastern lords.

The first batch of 3,000 immigrants can remain unchanged, but next year we will send at least 50,000 immigrants to the Near East, and in three years the total population of the region will not be less than 300,000.

Considering the reaction of the orcs, the early immigration settlements were all placed in the coastal areas.

Open up the thinking mode, the territory of the Snow Moon Territory only has a border with the Terrans, and other areas have no borders.

I remember that the eastern coast of the Orc Empire was mostly swampy and saline, and there were very few orc tribes living there, so this was the opportunity.

It is not suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry, and it does not affect fishing, and for a long time in the future, the pillar industry of Xueyueling is fishery.

Find an area suitable for defense and set up a settlement first.

The terrain over there is not suitable for large armies to deploy, and even if the orcs come to attack, there will not be too many troops.

With the convenience of sea communications, it is very easy for us to gain superiority in forces over the enemy in local battlefields.

In the early stage, immigrants did not bring family papers, and they served as people in peacetime and soldiers in wartime.

I will greet the kingdom's magicians and ask them to clean up the reefs off the coast of the Near East to ensure the free navigation of ships under 3,000 tons!"

Hudson's words startled everyone.

I can only sigh in my heart: He is worthy of being the marshal of the kingdom, and he is domineering in doing things!

Using the mages of the Wizard Corps as laborers, everyone can't even think of it.

Of course, Hudson could do this kind of thing. If other nobles dare to make such a request to the magician group, just wait to be beaten!

The offshore reefs were cleared, the main arteries at sea were unblocked, and everything was different.

Overall, the kingdom remained passive in the Near East, but the region gained the initiative.

If you clean up all the way along the coast of the Orc Empire, the future orc savannah will be full of landing sites for the king's *** team.

Of course, this is only ideal. Once the orcs discover the kingdom's plans, they will take steps to destroy them.

"Duke, the immigration plan has expanded so much at once, and the capacity of the territory is probably not enough.

In particular, in the early stages, the development of strategic infrastructure in the Near East and the garrison of the kingdom all depended on obtaining supplies from the sea.

It is estimated that the idle capacity on the southeast coast will be requisitioned by the kingdom, even if it costs money

It's hard to hire enough ships.

It is mainly the after-effect of the scourge of ghost ships, foreign ships are interested in this route, and few shipowners take orders.

If you want the plan to go smoothly, you also need to coordinate the relationship with several great nobles along the coast, especially with the Dalton family."

Kane suggested.

Command the boss to work, and there is no one left. But this kind of work is only Hudson's ability.

When others came forward, they couldn't even see these big nobles, let alone let the family squeeze out valuable transportation capacity to help.

"Then invite Earl Pierce for me, the situation is different now, and the relationship between our two families should also change."

Hudson said with a smile.

The world of nobility is like this, friend or foe are never absolute.

In the past, the Coslow family and the Dalton family were nested together in the southeastern provinces, and they were proper competitors.

Now that the Coslow family is strategically moving eastward and continuing to fight with the Dalton family in the southeastern province, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

In a short period of time, it is true that the land of the southeastern provinces is more fertile and the economy is more developed, but the future is not certain.

The biggest advantage of the Snow Moon Territory is the Boundary Model Lake, except for the areas bordering the lords of the kingdoms, the rest of the areas are not clearly demarcated.

Theoretically, as long as Hudson has the ability, he can continue to expand into the orc empire.

This expansion is supported by legal principles. Both the Terran Alliance and the Alpha Kingdom have laws that encourage Terran lords to expand to other races.

To sum it up in one sentence, it is all the land that has been snatched from the alien race, and that is legitimate!

Regardless of whether the alien race recognizes it or not, the human world recognizes it anyway.

Theoretically, a commoner who grabs a piece of land from a foreign race can legally become a local lord as long as he can defend it.

As for the level of the title, no one has ever thought about it, because no one has ever eaten this big pie at all.

When the human race dared to write such provisions in the form of law, it had already become the hegemon of the continent, and the aristocratic system had long been perfected.
