The tax cut stimulus is a long-term mechanism, and the impact on Xueyueling in the short term is not great.

The construction work has been in full swing, and the safety of the construction team has fallen on Hudson.

The kingdom's plan to garrison 200,000 troops in the Near East was just a plan. The first army to enter the Near East was only 80,000 troops, and the proportion of cavalry was only 20,000.

The only thing to be thankful for is that half of the 20,000 cavalry are from the expeditionary corps, and their combat effectiveness can be ranked in the whole continent.

This force is certainly not enough for the Orc Empire, but it is more than enough for any orc tribe. The only problem is that there are too many places to take care of at the beginning of the construction of the city.

The last expedition against the Orcs launched by the Terran Alliance, the biggest gain was not to defeat the Orc Empire, but to interrupt their transition from the nomadic era to an agrarian civilization.

This is undoubtedly a great thing for the Terrans. Unfortunately, for Hudson, who had to defend the Near East, it was a big problem.

The most important feature of agrarian civilization is that it lives in communities for a long time, unlike nomadic peoples, who have to move around every year.

If the orcs live in one place and farm and develop, the probability of doing things will definitely be greatly reduced. After all, the orcs can't run to the ground, and if they cause trouble, they have to worry about retaliation.

Nomadic civilization is different, after grabbing it, it will migrate away, and in the vast steppe, it is difficult to retaliate.

It's already summer, and if nothing else, there will be orcs tentatively stretching out their claws after autumn.

……

"Marshal, the information in the Near East region has been gathered, and I am shocked by your prestige, there are no large orc tribes near the Snow Moon Territory.

Based on this situation, we have made some adjustments to the original plan. In addition to the development of fisheries and animal husbandry, the Ministry of Administration plans to open salt farms in coastal areas.

There was a lack of salt in the savannah, and most of the salt replenishment in the Near East in the future would have to be transported from the kingdom.

As long as we offer salt at a price similar to that shipped from the kingdom, we will be able to steal most of the market.

The main ones who can compete with me in this regard are a few lords in the coastal areas. Especially the Felix family, they have the kingdom's largest port in the north and the convenience of the Canglan River.

In the event of a price war, the Felix family, which also has a geographical advantage, is the most likely to divert our customers.

In particular, the markets of the seven provinces in northern Xinjiang are currently monopolized by them and the other four major families in the north.

However, this monopoly is not sustainable, and it is said that new salt mines have been discovered in northern Xinjiang, and once developed, their profits will drop significantly.

Considering that the Snow Moon Collar is currently in a tax-free state, and the other lords in the Near East have not yet been sealed, the transit tax will definitely not be collected.

Due to cost considerations, some lords in northern Xinjiang are likely to choose to take a detour from the Near East to transport supplies.

As long as the price is reasonable, they won't mind buying a batch of salt when they pass by.

In a short period of time, it is not necessary to make much money from it, as long as you establish trading relationships with all parties and open up the market, it will be considered successful.

Considering that everyone is not wealthy at present, the sale of salt is mainly based on low-quality coarse salt, supplemented by a small amount of refined salt. ”

Listening to Jacob's words, Hudson nodded slightly. There was no expression on his face, but he was quite happy in his heart.

If he can deter the orcs, he can be regarded as making history. In the history of the kingdom, the lords who can scare the orcs have not been seen, but there are many who have been frightened by the orcs.

This kind of deterrence will not only act on the present, but also directly affect the morale of the two armies when the two armies are fighting.

In contrast, the industrial structure planning of the territory is very mediocre.

Hudson didn't mean to meddle, and a mediocre plan doesn't mean it's not a good plan. This kind of program, which involves development strategies, has always been as simple and ordinary as possible.

Whether it is the development of fishery, animal husbandry, or the new salt industry, the Ministry of Political Affairs has come up with it according to the actual situation.

Under the existing production system, it has full implementability. Even if there is a setback, the damage is manageable.

Compared to the previous Hudson's framework, the Ministry of Administration was responsible for improving it, and now the Ministry of Administration is able to take the initiative to revise the plan, which is a big improvement.

In a sense, it's all the work of the war. Hudson was on the front lines during the war, and the Ministry of Administration had to operate independently.

With more time to work alone, everyone is used to handling things by themselves, and they are no longer the "children" who ask for instructions and report everything.

The salt industry in the territory is divided into: boiled salt and dried salt.

Limited by production technology, although the cost of drying salt is lower, the quality is really unimpressive.

The yellow granules, powders, and impurities are terrible, and they make people lose their appetite at a glance.

The technology of boiling salt is relatively mature, and the quality is better than that of sun-dried salt, but it is still a little bit more interesting to make high-quality salt.

The finest snowflake salt and green salt are made from natural salt mines, and it is said that they are purified with magic equipment, and magic active factors are also added.

The market for high-quality salt consumption is too small, and many small and medium-sized nobles only eat ordinary table salt, while the big nobles are accustomed to using their own salt.

Hudson, including the salt produced on his own territory, did not buy salt from outside when it was able to meet demand. If the quality is not good, it will be purified several times, which is nothing more than an increase in cost.

As for the claim that the fine table salt contains a magical factor, Hudson has never taken it seriously. If the effect is really good, it is impossible to sell it.

With minimal efficacy, it is taken out to publicize it as a theoretical support for product premium. In Hudson's view, it's something that collects an IQ tax.

If you really want to increase your cultivation speed, you might as well buy the "Hastelloy Magic Elixir". Although it is a diluted version, it does not have any taste to speak of, but the effect is still good.

The only problem is that the price is too high, the production is still low, the payment must be booked in advance, and the delivery is not guaranteed on time.

Hudson was also forced to limit shipments. In the magic potion circle, the name of Hastelloy is about to be called a "tumor".

The effect is so good that the peers of the volume are about to be unable to mix. According to some potion masters, Hudson's auxiliary cultivation potion and Warcraft ripening potion are the same one.

The only difference is in the side effects. There are basically no side effects for human consumption, but the ripening potion used by Warcraft is very unstable, and various side effects may occur.

It can be sold well, mainly because although the side effects are uncontrollable, the harm is very small. The skin of the monster is rough and thick, and a few minor problems are not a big deal at all.

The same formula, the same collocation, but with some additives, the price is dozens of times different.

The reason for the price increase is naturally that Master Hudson, the master of alchemy, personally took action, separated the side effects, and purified the efficacy of the potion.

In fact, the limit is not very significant. The high price has dissuaded countless people, and only a very small number of local tyrants can afford it.

The great nobles within the kingdom, after trying it, rarely purchased such a completely cost-effective commodity.

Now some of the wealthy nobles in the Southern Continent dare to make large purchases to cultivate the genius children in the family.

In order to convince everyone that the potion was costly, Hudson rarely used it within the family, and only occasionally rewarded meritorious people.

The main reason is that there is a lack of geniuses in the clan, all of them are talents that can be seen at a glance, even if they smash resources, there is no strong life.

Many clansmen have only cultivated to the level of high-level knights, and they have encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation, and they can only use time to grind slowly.

Further up, there is no need to hope, it is basically a bottleneck one step at a time, and there is no possibility of quick success.

The illusions of the masters of mass production are shattered, and the remaining ordinary people have no need to spend too much resources on cultivation.

Anyway, if you get stuck in the bottleneck of cultivation, if you touch that step in the next few years, maybe the breakthrough will be smoother.

There is no involvement in the narrow high-grade salt market, and the real development of salt technology in the territory is still the salt drying technology, and now more than ninety percent of the consumer market is dominated by coarse salt.

The main customer is the aristocratic lord, anyway, it is for the serfs to eat, and whether it tastes good or not is not in their consideration at all.

As long as the quantity is large and cheap, and the serfs can be replenished with salt, then it will do.

In fact, the serfs were not the worst. It was the aristocracy who came forward to purchase salt, and the salt merchants would not go too far.

Free people who have no money, cheap coarse salt purchased, the quality is the worst.

It is already leftovers, but it is often mixed with impurities such as dirt and sand to increase the weight of salt.

Technology will eventually improve, and Hudson will not bother to pay attention to the people below if he is left to the toss.

Anyway, the salt that comes out of the sun, the quality of the product is in the low-end market, and it is enough for the time being, so make money first.

Due to the common constraints of productivity and transportation, once a commercial cooperation was reached between the aristocracy, it was rare for them to change partners.

The credibility of the nobility itself is the best guarantee of the transaction. If it weren't for the fact that the Northland nobles were too ugly, there would have been no chance for Hudson to intervene.

There is no right or wrong, the current five major families in the Northland are all extremely insecure.

The political differential treatment made them aware of the danger and had to expand their military in order to protect themselves.

Everything is false, only the military strength in the hands is real. As long as the strength is strong enough, he is not afraid of the kingdom turning over old accounts.

The main reason is that Caesar IV's methods are not mature enough, and the implication against the nobles of the Northland is too obvious. If the means were more subtle, they might be able to turn them into ghosts.

The motives were exposed in advance, and the original plan naturally had to be shelved. It's one thing to retaliate, but not to start a civil war!

Hudson is sure that the royal family definitely has the black material of the five major families in the Northland, and it may even be the kind that can kill them if they take it out.

didn't rush to make trouble, either because the matter was exposed, and he couldn't take the five major families for a while; Either they deliberately knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, using this sense of crisis to consume the strength of the five major families in the Northland.

In political struggle, it is not necessary to rush up and take the enemy down. Politically depleting the opponent's strength and forcing the enemy to make major concessions is also a victory.

"Implement it according to your plan, pay attention to the site selection, the salt has requirements for the climate, the site, and the defense problem.

As much as possible, it should be done all at once, so as not to be forced to move out in the middle of the work.

The production capacity can be larger, in addition to the nobles of Northern Xinjiang and the Near East, the Orc Empire is also a vast market.

The production of inferior iron in the territory can also be gradually restored. If it goes well, it's an important source of revenue for us.

Don't be psychologically burdened, we are not smuggling and trading with orcs for profit.

The goods were transported over mainly to provoke civil strife among the orcs. Don't suffer from inequality, as long as you grasp the rhythm of the transaction, you won't be able to create contradictions within the orc empire.

Jose, the shipyard has to rush. The number of ships in our hands is still too small.

With regard to the construction of the Navy, your military affairs department must also grasp it. For the next five years, I don't ask you to fight a regular navy, but at least to be able to deter pirates.

The main fleet is divided into two, and the stations are respectively the Snow Moon Territory and the Mountain Territory, and the actual combat training is rotated once a year. ”

Hudson said in a serious way.

The same is the smuggling trade, with different names, and the meaning is completely different.

With the starting point of "stirring up civil strife among the orcs", all smuggling trade became legal. Even if someone finds out, it's not a big deal.

Anyway, there are so many tribes among the orcs, and there are always a few people with bad brains who will be hit. As soon as there is a result, everything becomes logical.

Deep down, Hudson despised the nobles of the Northlands. Blind to such good conditions, it is no wonder that he only knows how to do business and capture slaves, and he has become infamous.

If they took the initiative and planned a few orc civil strife, all walks of life in the kingdom would definitely not be so verbal and penalistic against them together.

"Duke, there are not many orc tribes in the coastal area, and except for the one in Newport, the rest of the place is almost unsuitable for the big tribes to live in.

If you want to use orcs to train troops, I'm afraid you need to go deep alone. Not to mention the great risks, it is also unknown whether the results can be achieved. ”

Jose said cautiously.

Hudson's strategic deployment is already very risky. If he, a military officer, doesn't want to control it, the situation is likely to get out of control.

"It's simple, form a corps of marines with enough cavalry. The action is fast and fast, and after snatching the orcs, they will evacuate directly from the sea.

It doesn't matter if you can't grab something, if you come back with the head of an orc, you can also use it for combat merit.

Not only our navy has to participate in this matter, but also a number of noble lords with good maritime strength must also find a way to pull in.

If the regular army can't do this, let the pirates under their command come and do a side job.

What you have to do is to come up with a successful example first, and then I will use it to convince the kingdom to let the mage regiment clear the reefs in the coastal area and create conditions for landing. ”

Hudson said murderously.

Orcs can raid the Near East, and kingdoms can also invade from the coast and disrupt the savannah.

It can't harm the entire orc empire, or at least make the orc tribes in the coastal areas cry.

Frankly, it's a little too late to implement this plan.

The area around Newport has been turned into a no-man's land by the expeditionary legions. Countless orcs have turned into undead and roamed the savannah, and they have not been wiped out yet.

Without this land that is most suitable for "pirates", most of the remaining areas are not easy to grab. In many cases, you need to go it alone to achieve results.

The main reason why Hudson dared to carry out this plan was that the coastline of the orcs was too long to defend.

Through constant attacks, the orcs were forced to move to the forbidden sea and seal them inland.

Once this strategic goal is achieved, the Orc Empire can only start a smuggling trade with the kingdom if it wants to obtain supplies from the outside world, and it will be plundered economically for a long time.

Even if there were other big forces that wanted to support the orcs, they couldn't send aid over. In essence, it was Hudson who did not have confidence in the discipline of the major forces of the Terrans.

Once the major forces in the Southern Continent digested the results of the battle and went north to defeat the Terran Alliance, the Terran Alliance came to an end.

Without the pressure of race survival, pit teammates is completely basic.

The news of the Holy See's collusion with the orcs used to spread all over the world. Although there was no tangible evidence in the end, Hudson took it seriously.

……

The Beamon camp, once the first royal court of the orcs, has lost its former glory at this moment.

Glancing nostalgically at the station, Chief Alex sighed and said, "Pass the order, let the clansmen pack their bags and prepare to migrate!" ”

Whoever the new royal family is, here they must hand it over. Being able to retreat from the position of royalty is already a miracle in the history of the Orc Empire.

Once the orc royal family of the past falls, it will be devoured immediately. The smooth landing of the Beamon clan depends entirely on Alex's knowledge of the times.

Of course, flexible diplomacy is also an important factor.

Relying on his excellent communication skills, with his efforts, the Beamon clan has always maintained a good relationship with the other four royal families.

There are four families to help as a guarantor, and the potential competitors who have not yet ascended to the throne of the royal family are naturally difficult to say.

There is no action on the surface, which does not mean that everyone is also at peace in secret. To this day, once Beamon is alone outside, accidents often occur.

There are too many coincidences, and then it is not a coincidence. Knowing that it was these races who were worried that the Beamon tribe would jump out at the last moment to pick peaches, so they weakened their strength by using black hands, Alex could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

What the weak do is wrong, cover the lid and everyone can still maintain the harmony on the surface, and if it starts, it will be a big war.

In order not to get caught up in the endless infighting, Alex can only choose to migrate and leave, running to the front line to avoid the limelight.

The reality is so funny, the area where the conflict with the enemy is most intense, and where a major war may break out at any time, has actually become the safest place for the Beamon clan.

In this regard, the major races of the Orc Empire and the great nobles of the Alpha Kingdom have similar ideas, and they don't want to be neighbors with each other.

"Yes, Chief!"

The guard's words pierced Alex's heart deeply.

It's not a royal family, and even the title has to be changed. Once the transgression is discovered by the enemy, it is equivalent to sending a knife over.

Witnessing the Beamon clan from prosperity to decline, Alex's heart is broken. The Beamon royal family, which once controlled more than 100,000 strings, can now only survive by relying on political wisdom.

"Who's eavesdropping outside?"

It's not that Alex is making a noise, it's really that the current situation is not harmonious with the Bimeng family, and we must be extremely careful.

"Your Majesty Alex, long time no see!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Alex's face changed instantly. What should come is still coming, such a big change has happened, how can there be no complaints within the Beamon tribe?

When the old Emperor Beamon died, the pot naturally fell to him, the heir. No matter how hard he tried, the royal status of the Beamon clan was lost in his hands.

Now that they can't even keep their ancestral land, they are forced to move to the front line, and the discontent among the clan has gathered to a critical point.

There may be a civil strife, Alex is also prepared, and he sent someone to keep an eye on the guy who may be in trouble in advance, as long as there is a change, he will strike first.

It's just that he didn't think that it was not any of the powerful people in the clan who attacked him, but Prince Butzweig, who had long fled to the ice and snow world.

Some people died, but not completely......
