989. North and Southeast
On the evening of the 16th, in the magic mirror of the White Wolf City, Rand in front of the magic mirror kept smiling, chatting and laughing with the Kirislav king Petrodev Nicholas inside.
"Your Majesty, your sixth prince Du Luosong is living very well with me, without the toss of the witch, he has even touched the door of magic power release, maybe he will become a high-level knight within the year, and it is unknown whether he will become a high-level knight in the future."
"Then thank you for Your Majesty Lanter's care," in the magic mirror, although Petroev's face improved slightly,
"Your Majesty Rand, in order to help the Galloping Plain, we Kirislav have sacrificed too much, not to mention the loss of a large area of territory in the west, and also the loss of the fishery import ration of the Southeast Kingdom, or the proportion of our demon supporters will drop significantly in a few years."
"The sacrifice of Kirislav has never been forgotten by the galloping kingdom," Rand said with a smile, "but I remember that when Mentor Onaeva Mowai came over two days ago, she specifically mentioned that the yield of Mowley near Nikolagrad had increased by more than 20%, and that they were going to promote the cultivation of horse-drawn wagons throughout Kirislav. ”
"The production of basic magic plants has indeed increased, but it can't cover up the decrease in the production of intermediate and above magic potions and demon beast meat, I think the loss in this area must be made up by Night Qicheng, of course, Kirislav is willing to provide more magic wheat straw."
"Your Majesty, I personally suggest that Kirislav build a workshop to process these straws, and even the production of wheat straw on the royal farms will be sufficient for paper and fermentation production."
"Huh?" Petroev on the other end of the magic mirror looked at him with a very special look, as if he was looking at a monster, "Your Majesty Rand, you really care about production......
Although King Petroev always complained in his mouth, on his desk there was a report of the Minister of the Interior, Mishuvitin, in which cooperation between the two countries was extremely highly valued.
Nikolagrad will send the first batch of students to the Galloping Horse Academy in September, 6 workshops in Kirislav have joined the industrial chain of the magic cabinet, the business cooperation between the two sides has increased significantly in the last six months, and the night Qicheng has also exported dozens of agricultural carriages to Kirislav, each of the above cooperation, has provided a lot of benefits for the Nicholas family.
This is not in addition to the other advantages of Rand Galloping, such as the fact that he never makes small moves on border issues, and he does not make eye contact with the Marquis of the West.
Of course, no matter how much benefit is gained, it does not prevent His Majesty Petroev from being cheap and obedient, especially in the affairs of the magic furnace.
Seeing that Rand spoke, Petroev hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Rand, the workshop does not say that it is made, it needs to have a magic furnace as a source of magic power. ”
Hearing this, Rand said with a smile: "This is not difficult, the territory of Kirislav is vast, and it is not difficult to find a suitable location in terms of magic and transportation,
It's just that I've heard that your faith is very strong, and it's especially unfriendly to the dragons, so I'm afraid that the Temple of Fortune will have concerns. ”
"How so, no one is unfriendly to gold," Petroev immediately smiled as soon as he heard that there was a play in the magic furnace, "My Minister of the Interior, Mishu Viking, will pick 4-5 alternative addresses first, and you can appoint a magister to explore the location together." ”
Rand shook his head: "Your Majesty, is the alternative address you provided too conservative, given the vast territory of Kirislav, it can fully accommodate 10 new magic furnaces." ”
"10 units!" Of course, Petroev understood what Rand meant, even if he had the most optimistic expectations before, he didn't expect Rand to be able to agree to the scale of 10 units, compared to these, those small profits in the southeast are not important at all.
"Yes, if Kirislav can undertake more surveys, construction work, maybe there will be more room for construction."
Adversaries who had declared war on each other a few months ago have once again become collaborators,
When Rand came out of the Magic Mirror Room, Jenny Galloping was already waiting for him in her study, and although her resident Iowa was thousands of miles away from Kirislav, her report coincided with what Petroev had said.
"Your Majesty, have you heard? The Southeast Kingdom is tightening the export of demonfish to the outside world," Jenny said anxiously as soon as she came up, "Several families in the Orc Plateau have come to us, hoping that we will sell them a large number of demonic plants and demonic beast meat, it is said that it is to fill the vacancy of the southeastern demonfish. ”
"Oh?" Rand came interested, "So what do they pay for?" ”
Jenny replied, "Minerals, monster leathers, bones, as far as I know, the trade between the previous acquaintances and the southeast is also barter. ”
"You can give it a try," Rand said, "and if the rat colony wants to form a new breeding scale, it will take at least half a year, but if the magic rat and mushroom industry can also be carried out in Xingtian and Roseburg, it will not be a problem to replenish the quota of devil fish in the southeast." ”
"If that's the case, why don't you go any further and breed ...... all over the plains" Jenny thought that since they were all farming, the bigger the scale, the better, but just when she said it, she also felt that something was wrong.
Although the demon rats in Rant's hands have become a thorough breeding industry, it does not mean that these demon rats and the rat people have broken away from the belief in the rat god (earth spirit).
"You can breed magic rats in big cities, but they are only part of the breeding industry," Rand added, "and there are also mandarin ducks, highland sheep, Honghe pigs, dryland ducks, guinea fowl, these must also be developed, anyway, the feed is already available, and those species are also the more common sources of monster meat in the empire." ”
"I see, in the future, the herbivore orcs can take care of these properties," Jenny remembered that there was something more important to report,
"Recently, my father, the Marquis of Fiat Gallop, personally entered the business secret meeting to find Mr. White Wolf and ask me to bring you a message."
"Could it be that after I surrender to the sea god, there will be a lot of gold coins, right?" Rand said subconsciously.
"Uh...... It was the sea and land trade of the entire Southeastern Kingdom that had been affected, and a large number of pirates had lived near the coast, engaged in smuggling and fishing, but in the last month, at least two of the four major pirates had quietly moved north. ”
"The Four Pirates? Half to the north? So fishing has decreased? Rand pondered for a moment and said casually, "Those pirates are going to the Ice Sea?" Support the merfolk in their capture of Breyak? ”
"Maybe it's some kind of overseer," Jenny nodded, "maybe it's a sacrifice." ”
"It seems that the sea god's trust in the mermaids is also declining!" Rand smiled and said, "But how many ships are there for pirates?" How can they affect the fishing industry? ”
"This has something to do with the distribution of power on the sea, pirates seem to only need a boat is enough, but in fact, the pirates have their own islands, fishermen, and caravans," When it comes to the ocean, it goes to the area that Jenny is most familiar with,
"For example, the red-bearded Jack you killed, he has at least two medium and large islands under his command, and his people and industries are not inferior to your old boss, Earl Maned Wolf, and if you destroy his fleet in one day, then his wealth and personnel can only be divided among other pirates."
Rand realized: "So in essence, these pirates are the lords of the sea? ”
"Yes, it's just that they don't have officially recognized titles," Jenny suddenly thought of something, "so they look more like the barbarians they once were." ”
Jenny's analogy made Rand a little uncomfortable, and even if it did, he could only continue to ask: "And then?" ”
"If the pirates leave their territory for too long, they will have to rely on their own fleets," said Jenny, "so the 50 ships to the north must have gone with a desperate determination, and if they fail to open up new territory, all that awaits them is destruction." ”
Rand probably understood: "In other words, this group of pirates is not so much an expedition as it is a move, so they must have taken as many people as possible, so there are not enough people in the Southeast Kingdom to carry out fishing?" ”
Jenny said: "Yes, but not all, the pirates who stayed in the southeast sea did have a larger territory, and the demand for land was smaller, but the sea also issued an order to take the initiative to reduce the ration of the southeast kingdom." ”
"My father said that many of the nobles on the land have run out of potions, and they want to pay for the construction of new temples of wealth and magic furnaces."
"Yes, I need more workshops to build Demonic Boxes, and they can buy Demonic Beast meat with the gold coins from the Workshop to keep their potion supply." Rand said with a smile.
Rand understands that once the industrial chain around the magic furnace and land cultivation is formed, it is to dig up the foundation of the belief of the Poseidon family and fill it into his own foundation, and he is even willing to fund Fiat to do such a good thing.
