The Hesses had no idea of secrecy, and the actions of the Frankish Empire and the Kingdom of Iliba were soon fed back into Hudson's hands.

The moment he saw the news, he was shocked. The nascent aristocratic capitalism is playing so fiercely.

Regardless of the fact that the scientific and technological level of the countries on the mainland is roughly the same, the actual productive forces are very different.

The more free the country, the more developed the industrial and commercial manufacturing industry, and the higher the government's fiscal revenue.

Even if it is a small workshop production, after the formation of scale, it is more conducive to cost control.

In the case of an obvious gap, as soon as they come up, they ask people to open the country, and only fools dare to agree.

It is enough to bully small countries, but if you can do it with a simple loan in the face of a big country, then there will be no "force called opening the country" in the world.

The cost of borrowing is much lower than in war.

When he thought about it, Hudson felt normal. The economic model of the Frankish Empire and the Kingdom of Ibbean cannot be summed up simply in one sentence of capitalism.

In essence, they still have aristocratic rule as the core, and capital is only an appendage. The main reason for the development and growth of the aristocracy is to pursue profits.

Hudson was also confused as to where aristocratic capitalism would eventually go.

With the variable of extraordinary strength, it is doomed to the experience of the previous life, which is not reliable here.

Judging from the current situation, as long as the aristocratic group has mastered the extraordinary power, capital can only be reduced to an appendage.

The aristocratic thinking and processing mode is much more neat and neat, and everyone has not learned all kinds of roundabout routines for the time being, or they don't bother to learn.

It is not known whether the plans of the two countries will succeed, but in the short term, it will definitely be a good thing for the Alpha Kingdom.

The eldest and the second are doing things, and the third can't be idle and do nothing.

Since you have to do things, then the infighting must stop first.

Expecting an easing of political struggles in the kingdom, Hudson also took advantage of the situation.

To ease the relationship between the two major interest groups, intermediaries are indispensable.

Originally, the king was the most suitable choice, but unfortunately Caesar IV was too deeply tied to the reformers.

If the reform is successful, he will transcend the monarchs of the kingdom and become a god-like being.

The corresponding reforms failed, and Caesar IV put himself in the whirlpool of the storm, from which he could not easily escape.

At this moment, the only one who can speak at the same time in the two camps is Hudson, who has a special status.

It's magical enough to think that the leader of the new aristocracy has become the best person to mediate the conflict between the old and new aristocracy.

But for the time being, there is no hurry, as a mediator, I will definitely have to play at a critical moment, and it is a little early to intervene.

With the tax-free benefits of the three countries of the Central and Continental Continents, you must definitely take advantage of it. I was too busy with internal cleaning to care, but now it's time to intervene.

Frankly speaking, at the moment, the economic situation of the Snow Moon Collar and the Mountain Collar really does not have many competitive products.

There is no shortage of profiteering commodities such as arms and salt, and they are still in the hands of local powerful factions, and outsiders will definitely not be able to intervene.

For bulk commodities such as cloth and grain, there is no market for transportation costs alone.

What really has potential is animal husbandry, to be exact - war horses!

Sitting on the vast grassland, Xue Yueling has been expanding the scale of war horse breeding in the past few years.

If it weren't for the special national conditions of the Alpha Kingdom, this kind of breeding, which far exceeded its own needs, would have attracted countless criticisms.

No one objected now, because everyone thought Hudson was preparing for the destruction of the Orc Empire.

Once a war breaks out, a war horse is a consumable. It is better to stock up on more horses to sit idle in the pastures than to leave horses unavailable during the war.

No matter how much you expand your storage, there is an upper limit to the number.

Unlike cattle and sheep, war horses have to eat grain. Just fed with forage, it is a pony that is cultivated.

The animal husbandry in the territory has been losing money all year round, and the fundamental reason is that it has been eaten by this group of war horses.

Of course, if you simply sell horses and war horses, it doesn't matter whether you are tax-free or not.

As a strategic resource, governments will not restrict the inflow of war horses.

War horses are a price in the Alpha Kingdom, and it is another price in the Middle Continent, and the price will be even higher after entering the South Continent.

What Hudson wanted to do was to use the war horse as bait and sell it together with other goods in the territory.

Although this kind of play will pull down the profit margin, to a certain extent, the profits of the war horse are feeding a bunch of money-losing industries.

Facing the competition between the two giants in the Southern Continent, the Mountain Collar and the Snow Moon Collar could only take a detour from the side if they wanted to gain a place.

Hudson had thought about bundling magic potions before, but considering that the low-end was substitutable, and the mid-to-high-end potions had to ensure scarcity, he finally had to cancel the plan.

War horses are different, this thing is destined to be a volume of trading. The cavalry must be on a large scale in order to be able to exert its maximum combat effectiveness.

The great nobles formed a cavalry of 1,000 men, and they needed to purchase at least 1,500 war horses. If it is a Knights, the demand will be even greater.

A single war horse is nothing, and there are few forces that can take out so many war horses and sell horses at one time.

The breeding cycle of war horses is too long, it requires a large amount of capital to invest for a long time, and the price in the kingdom is not high.

Including the nobles who came to explore the Near East together, the number of war horses raised was also very limited due to their own financial resources.

This invasion of the geocentric race made all countries realize the importance of cavalry, and in the process of military reform, there are plans to expand the scale of cavalry.

The delay in implementation, in addition to its own financial resources, is more important than the lack of war horses.

In the past, the free-range mode was not only limited in quantity, but also the quality of the war horses was not guaranteed.

A vacancy in the market is profit!

After the trade route was opened, the noble lords from the southeastern provinces would definitely expand the scale of war horse breeding, but it would be years before they could bear fruit.

……

"Duke, judging from the information we have gathered, the gap between the three kingdoms of the Central Continent is at least more than 200,000 horses.

According to the plan announced by the three countries, they are ready to expand each of the two standing cavalry regiments and five knight regiments in the next three years.

The demand for war horses in the private armies of the civil nobles is greater, and even if it can provide a part of the internal hematopoiesis, there is still a large shortage of war horses.

Perhaps because of the reaction of the elves, the Principality of Moxi did not directly expand its army, but it is initially estimated that their war horse shortage is also more than 50,000.

The situation in the Southern Continent is a bit complicated, and it is impossible to estimate it for the time being, and the gap will not be smaller than that of the Central Continent! ”

After listening to José's report, Hudson nodded slightly.

This figure is still relatively conservative, in the era of lord nobility, it has always been the noble private army that exceeds the kingdom's standing army.

In particular, the poor ghost governments of the three countries of the Central Continent have to be constrained by their financial resources when expanding their military strength.

On the contrary, there are many wealthy families among the noble lords below.

The past peaceful years have created conditions for the accumulation of wealth.

Some big families with deep backgrounds have millions of dollars in cash piled up in the treasury alone.

Aware of the crisis, these large families will certainly find ways to improve their military strength.

The big family that was wiped out in the invasion of the geocentric race is the best negative teaching material.

But as long as they paid enough attention to armament and invested half of their family's wealth in the army, they would not have fallen into the current field.

The countries of the Southern Continent are mainly political issues, and it is impossible for the Alpha Kingdom to sell war horses to them until the coordination of the three major foreign affairs ministries is completed.

"The kingdom's reserve of war horses has only become rich in recent years, and the government has no more than 30,000 rich adult war horses, and it is almost impossible to sell them to the outside world for the sake of war preparedness.

There are not many nobles who breed war horses on a large scale, and we are the only ones who have more than 5,000 adult war horses in stock after meeting their own needs.

Compared with the market gap, our rich 50,000 war horses are not many, and they must be put to good use.

The next decade will be a golden age, and even if everyone tries their best to scale, it will be difficult to meet the market gap.

If the political problem is resolved and the market of the southern continent is opened to us, the golden age will be extended even longer.

The Ministry of Government must seize the opportunity of the times, cooperate effectively with the Ministry of Commerce, and develop the industrial and commercial manufacturing industry in the territory! ”

Hudson said solemnly.

The war horses of the royal government are all in the hands of the military, even if they have not yet entered the army, they are also included in the establishment in advance by the domineering military.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Hudson has a very important say in the disposal of these war horses.

Without his nod, even King Caesar IV would not have been able to sell these horses.

Of course, in view of the special system of the Alpha Kingdom, it is estimated that everyone will not be able to come up with such a terrible thought.

In the past few years, the government's finances have been on the verge of bankruptcy several times, and no one has ever had the idea of fighting a war horse, let alone now.

In this context, Xueyue Ling, which has a large number of war horses, has actually gained market pricing power.

In the case of a shortage of goods in the market, whoever wants to get a war horse in advance must accept additional conditions.

"Rest assured, we have sent a signal to the outside world, and we are currently in contact with more than 50 interested buyers.

There are also 30 companies that paid us the intention money in advance, with a pre-sale account of 1 million gold coins, and the total amount of pre-order orders directly exceeded 120,000 horses, so there is no worry about selling! ”

Jacob, the political officer, said confidently.

With the expansion of human activities, the area of the grasslands of the Aslant continent is shrinking.

At present, there is only one Alpha Kingdom in the Terran country that sits on a large grassland, and the innate conditions determine the kingdom's right to speak in this field.

At this moment, what Xueyue Ling has to do is to take advantage of the fact that all parties have not reacted, and preemptively snatch this right to speak into his own hands.

The buying and selling of the aristocratic era paid attention to cooking rather than living, which was not only a transaction, but also a friendship.

Once the deal is reached, there are no major changes later, and the partner is rarely changed.

What's more, this wave of Xueyue Ling just seized the opportunity, and did not eat alone.

The object of Xueyueling's cooperation is the country and the big nobles, and this part of the market can't be eaten, and the market of the small and medium-sized nobles below can't be taken care of for the time being.

It's all about making money, and selling it to anyone is selling.

Until supply and demand are disrupted, there is no substantial competition between the parties.

"When bundling sales, grasp the degree of it, don't make a sale.

If necessary, you can also mix in some precious magic potions to soothe the injured emotions of customers! ”

Hudson said calmly.

It's all about development!

There are not many industries in the Snow Moon Collar University, and it is still difficult for the primary industry to be self-sufficient, so it certainly does not have the value of export.

In addition to heavy industries such as mining and smelting, the light industry is mainly the processing of agricultural and sideline products, as well as cashmere textiles.

There is no doubt that agricultural products are not suitable for long-distance transportation in the case of limited freshness preservation.

The focus of exports is on the secondary sector.

When selling war horses, bundle a set of cavalry-exclusive equipment, and then pack horse-specific pots and pans, plus a few sets of exclusive combat uniforms, and a cavalry ration package.

There is only so much that can be done in the short term, and there is not much demand in the agricultural era, and there is not much room for tossing.

Perhaps there is still room for further excavation after the expansion of the area of cash crops in the future, but it depends on market demand.

In fact, Hudson wanted to engage in magic technology more than these basic industries.

The main gathering place for magicians on the mainland, Xueyue Ling also has certain advantages in this regard, but unfortunately it is currently in the pure manual stage.

Whether it's magic potions, magic equipment, or magic technology products, all of them are artificially created.

The output is low, the cost is still high, and there is no possibility of large-scale industrial production.

The worst thing is that there is no experience to draw from in this area, after all, the world itself is not scientific.

Chaotic occupations create the diversity of civilizations, but also make the future full of uncertainty.

Since the end of the elemental tide, almost all the powerhouses have focused on personal cultivation, and there are very few others who are willing to study magic technology.

It's just that these people are the most knowledgeable, and if they want to climb the magic technology tree, they can't do without their participation.

Hudson suspected that without the elemental tides, there would have been no progress in magical technology in the past three hundred years, and that social productivity would have remained at the level of three hundred years ago.

……

Emerald Palace.

Shocked by the movements of the Franks and Libyans, Caesar IV's face suddenly became complicated.

The international situation has changed dramatically, and out of the strategic considerations of the kingdom, the conservatives have no effort to continue to block him.

But the surprise is more than the annoyance!

Among the many kingdoms of the Terrans, the only ones he could regard as opponents were the Frankish Empire and the Kingdom of Ibya.

At this time, the two families infiltrated the Central Continent, and it was clear that they were going to come over and dig a corner, how could he bear it?

The three countries of the Central Continent were co-opted, the alliance of the five countries collapsed, and the status of the Alpha Kingdom as a great power was also impacted.

The outside world can recognize the Three Kingdoms, in addition to the respective strength of the three families, but also take into account the strength of the younger brother who depends on the three families.

The Alpha Kingdom, which is far away from the center of the human race, has a lower sense of existence, and it is all up to them to take the initiative to come out and brush.

It was not until the establishment of the five-nation alliance that quantitative changes led to qualitative changes, which gradually made up for the lack of political presence.

"Prime minister, a month after the order, I will convene a palace meeting to determine the prime minister, and order the governors of all provinces to come over to attend the meeting!

You made a trip to Xueyue Ling on my behalf, and asked Marshal Hudson to mediate the party dispute in the court, and by the way, asked him what he thought about the choice of prime minister.

At the same time, arrange for people to contact the governors of the provinces to find out their bottom first. ”

Eat a trench, grow a wisdom.

With the lessons of the crushing defeat at the last court meeting, Caesar IV's self-confidence was hit hard, and he no longer had the arrogance he had before.

In order to avoid a recurrence of the tragedy, he had become cautious at this time.
