"Your Highness....."

Standing there, looking at Oliman, who was standing there in a daze in front of him, looking a little distracted, Chen Heng reminded him.

Only then did Oliman come to his senses.

"I'm sorry. ”

Looking at Chen Heng in front of her, she sighed and disguised: "I'm sorry, seeing you made me think of some of the past." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Chen Heng nodded very understandingly, and didn't ask anything more.

"In the past few months, Kailin, you are not in Kutu, where have you gone?"

Looking at Chen Heng, Oliman continued to speak.

She naturally knew very well where Chen Heng went, and at the moment she was just putting aside the topic in order to answer.

"I went to my father's territory and stayed there for a while. ”

Chen Heng said truthfully: "There, I still have some things to deal with, so I stayed in my father's territory for a while. ”

"Oh?"

Oliman looked a little curious, and deliberately asked, "I don't know, what is the matter?"

"It's inconvenient to disclose?"

There was curiosity on her face, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face, which made people itch when they saw it.

Anyone who sees her like this can't help it, and wants to show off the results she has made.

Chen Heng was unmoved, just smiled and simply said what he had done.

What he did, while important, was not actually secret.

At least like Princess Oliman in front of her, as long as she wants to investigate, I'm afraid she will soon know the results.

Since there was no possibility of concealment, Chen Heng had no intention of concealing it, and spoke directly and told what he had done.

"North-South trade. ”

Listening to Chen Heng's narration, Princess Oliman's face showed a look of surprise, and her face was full of admiration: "What a good idea." ”

"How did you come up with that?"

Her face was full of admiration, and she asked curiously at this moment.

Compared with before, although she still has a disguise element this time, there is a lot more sincerity in it.

She really admired what Chen Heng had done, and there were many places where she wanted to communicate with Adier.

The performance at this moment is not all disguise.

"My friend Kurudo is a lord from the north. ”

Sitting opposite Princess Oliman, Chen Heng spoke softly: "Through this friend of mine, I learned about the lives of the lords of the north, their plight, and the surprise between the north and the south. ”

"The idea of developing North-South trade also came from this. ”

"Oh. ”

Oliman was a little interested: "Tell me, what did you find?"

"That's a lot of work. ”

Chen Heng smiled and continued to speak: "For example, climate, such as production." ”

"Your Highness may not know that the difference in climate between the south and the north is very huge. ”

"This discrepancy has a serious impact on the output, but also on the benefits of the lord. ”

"Compared with the south, the grain production in the north is not high because of the climate, and the output of not one acre of land is only a quarter of that of the south. ”

"And in the same way, the battle with the desert alien race led to a long war. ”

Looking at Oliman, Chen Heng explained: "The battle has affected production, forced the labor force that could have been put into output into soldiers, and even seriously affected the cultivation cycle, resulting in a further decline in output. ”

"These factors have affected the price of food, which has led to very high food prices in the north. ”

"Definitely. ”

Oliman glanced at Chen Heng and agreed with his words.

What Chen Heng said, although it is very simple and clear, in this era, not everyone can summarize it.

For many of the nobles who grew up in Kutu City, they probably didn't even know where the north side was, let alone what they had come up with.

"What do you think should be done in this situation?"

Oliman then spoke, looking at Chen Heng with interest.

For this question, she just asked casually, and did not expect Chen Heng to really answer.

In the past, she has asked many people about this question, but has never received a specific and clear answer.

Those professionals who knew the situation in the Northland extremely well had no way to solve it, let alone Chen Heng in front of him.

However, to her surprise, in front of her, Chen Heng only thought about it a little and gave the answer.

"There are two ways. ”

Chen Heng pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "The predicament of the northern lord is actually not in the low output, but in the continuous war. ”

The level of land output does not actually cause the lord to fall into trouble.

After all, even if the output of an acre of land is small, it only means that the lord's income is less, and life may not be easy, but it is impossible for the lords to fall on the verge of financial collapse.

The real dilemma of the Northland lords is that they have to face strong military pressure while producing little land and low income.

Because of the strong pressure from the desert, the northern lords had to be locked in a long war.

And to fight a war, there is a cost.

It is precisely because of their own low income and the high cost of war that the lords of the north are in this predicament.

Therefore, the solution to the current plight of the northern lords is actually quite straightforward.

"The solution to this problem is either to make the pressure from the desert disappear, or to let the lords of the north profit from the war, so that they can continue to pay for it in the war. ”

Looking at Oliman, Chen Heng said his answer.

"So what can be done to do this?"

Looking at Chen Heng, Oliman subconsciously asked this question.

At first, she listened very casually and casually.

But as Chen Heng spoke, she became more and more engrossed, and in the end, she had concentrated all her energy and listened carefully.

As the princess of Kutu and the lord close to the lords of the north, she has always attached great importance to the problems of the lords of the north.

In the past, she also listened to the suggestions of many relevant people, but no one had ever been able to analyze so thoroughly and clearly like Chen Heng.

"It's actually very simple. ”

Looking at Oliman, who was gradually becoming a trance, Chen Heng then spoke: "If you want to reduce the burden of the northern lords, you can first start from trade. ”

"Unlike the situation in the north, because of the climate and environment, the production of grain in the south is very abundant, and sometimes it even reaches the point where the grain rots in the warehouse and cannot be sold at all. ”

"This is the opposite of the high price of food in the north. ”

Chen Heng spoke softly: "Through trade, the surplus grain from the south can be transported to the north, thereby reducing the cost of the lords in the north. ”

"On the other hand, the slaves that the northern lords acquired in the war can also be digested through trade, so that the northern lords can make profits in the war, so that the war is no longer an unprofitable thing. ”

"If these two things are done well, the pressure on the Northern Lord will be reduced a lot, and it will no longer be as difficult as before. ”
