Chapter 432 (1/2)
”It's normal that you don't have time to think about these problems because you have too much energy occupied by the military.” Sean turned to flatter, ”trade is based on the mutual standoff and equal dialogue. If it had not been for the past few years, the eastern and Western Odin Empire had been suppressed by the Great Duke. Just this proposal did not say that rash opening the border would only lead to disaster for itself.”
This flattery is absolutely of high standard. It not only covers the face of the other party, but also praises the most proud achievements of the other party in recent years.
Since entering the door, Cedric, who has been tightening his face, is much softer now. He nodded and said, ”it's true. The orcs of Odin are naturally powerful. If you don't subdue them, they won't trade with you. After all, why bother to trade what you can get? That is to say, in recent years, the balance between the two Odin empires has been broken. In order to fight for the grassland, the two sides have killed and killed each other, and they do not have so much energy to pay attention to us. Otherwise, we will not have so many leisure days, let alone this idea. ”
Seiderek walked back and forth for two steps, and then said, ”now is a great opportunity to open up some of the border crossings and trade with the small and medium-sized tribes that were hard in those days. What do you think?”
The last sentence of Cedric is not to ask Sean, but to Princess Regent Sophia.
There is no niece's support for this matter, but there is no way to implement it, because the fracture blood Fort lacks basic commodity support. At that time, it can't be said that some commodities should be taken from Sophia's hands as initial trade start-up funds.
The Regent nodded her head without hesitation and said, ”I agree with this. It's time for us to change the mode of war after so many years of stalemate with Odin orcs. However, as for the merchants, we are not the opponents of Baron Shawn. Since you started the battle, say, do you have any good ideas?”
”I don't have any mature ideas for the time being. I can only think about what is useful and ignore what is useless.” Sean said in advance.
”One is impassioned, the other is pushy. Just now you are about to point your nose at me. I didn't do anything about you. I can't eat you because you said something wrong?” Sir Cedric glared at Sean, apparently preferring his earlier style of saying what he said.
”I think too much.” Sean laughed and said quickly, ”there are only two ways to trade with Odin orcs. One is to take goods into Odin prairie and do business. This way we are using has obvious advantages and disadvantages.
If the risk factor is too high, the whole caravan will often disappear on the vast prairie, and it will take a long time. If a caravan wanders around for half a year or more, the interests will shrink a lot. The advantage is that it can bring intelligence personnel in and out to understand the situation of Odin prairie and those tribes.
The second way is to choose a fixed location and set up a trade market along the border between the two sides. With a large number of rare materials on the prairie, the orc tribe of Odin can be attracted to come to their homes. This will greatly reduce the risk index. Even if some greedy tribes want to attack the trade market, they also have enough geographical and personnel advantages. Maybe they can Take the opportunity to eat each other.
The disadvantage is that they can only passively wait for the other party to come to the door, which takes a long time. Especially in the early stage, it is not easy to open up the market. Those Odin Orc tribes are afraid that this is a trap and dare not try it.
My suggestion is that we should set up a border trade market and send caravans to the Odin prairie at the same time. The main purpose is to publicize the border trade market and attract the Odin Orc tribes to send them to their homes. After a stable trade relationship has been established, we can enjoy the success. At that time, not only a large number of Odin Orc tribes will come When businessmen from Byron's Alliance see the benefits, they will also take the initiative to rush there. ”
”The method you just mentioned is really a good method if you put it in normal times, but it's not good now. So, the caravans that have sprung up in the Odin prairie in recent years are all led by your army forever?” Cedric did not let go of the information contained in Sean's words.
”That's right.” Sean acknowledged with a big nod.
There must be the ears and eyes of seiderek on the prairie of Odin. The momentum that Yongye army leader has made here in the past two years is not small. It is impossible to hide from him, and there is no need to hide it.
”I urge you to get them out of the prairie as soon as possible. In the next few years, there will be chaos here. If you are a little careless, you will be doomed.” Archduke Cedric warned.
Sean's eyes twinkled, and his expression solidified: ”is the West Odin Empire ready to launch an all-out war against the East Odin Empire?”
”It seems that you have a lot of information about Odin orcs.” The eldest princess Cedric said, ”the West Odin Empire has been preparing for this for many years, and now it is the most chaotic time in the East Odin empire. If it were me, I would not miss this excellent opportunity.”
”Thank you for your information. We will adjust our deployment on the Odin prairie as soon as possible.” Sean sincerely said that although such a large military operation of the Western Odin empire could not be concealed from the eyes of those who had the intention, it was only a matter of whether the news would come sooner or later. However, if he could get the information one minute earlier, he could make contingency plans one minute earlier and reduce the loss by one more point. That's what he was waiting for here.”In public and private, I should remind you.” Seiderek waved his hand and said, ”what's more, I still have to ask you now. Then, how should the border trade be carried out if this condition is substituted into the entry?”
”There are two sides to everything, and the general situation is no exception. When the two great Odin empires of the East and the West started war, the main force should be large tribes. Those small and medium-sized tribes are the rats in the crevice. If they are not careful, they will become cannon fodder. In order to survive, they will try their best to avoid the main battlefield. They have only two choices.
Either try to go north or south. The north is a frozen wasteland. It is more difficult for them to survive there. It is estimated that there will be more tribes going south. If so many tribes are crowded in narrow areas, all kinds of living materials will be more scarce. If we open the border market at this time, it will be easier to open up the situation. If it was me, I would definitely try it There will be no loss, will it? ” Sean asked with a smile.
Sean didn't speculate on something deeper. She needed to know what she needed. Sophia would tell herself that there was no need to play tricks in front of an old fox.
”Good! Good! Very good! ” Cedric patted Sean on the shoulder with satisfaction.
I don't know if he's talking about Sean's idea for blood castle, or as his nephew and son-in-law.
Sean's heart wiped a cold sweat, after such a correction, Cedric at the beginning of the attitude of trial prisoners, naturally can't continue to put on, is to let him muddle through.
”If you really want to open the border trade, I have a little bit to help you with.” Sean began to show his tusks carefully.
”In which way?” Asked Archduke Cedric.
Sean's proposal did tickle him. There are two purposes of his trip.
One is about the future marriage between the Lancelot royal family and the streches family.
The other is the issue of military expenditure of duanxuebao. At the same time, more military food should be raised to prepare for the turbulent situation in Odin prairie.
At the military meeting at the blood castle on the fracture, grand duke Cedric said that he was full of pride, as if he had taken the horse himself. The Lords and nobles bowed their heads and gave them the military supplies they needed.
Only Archduke Cedric knew how difficult it was.
This is different from the battlefield, the enemy is placed in the light, he just needs to wield a knife to chop.
Although the Lords and nobles were afraid of themselves and did not dare to fight with him, it was not easy to reach out and take something out of their pockets.
These lords and nobles did not have a simple one. They had already honed out a set of ways to deal with him. When they met him for the first time, most of them were crying in their arms.
He is either crying for poverty or telling the Great Duke of Cedric how many disasters have happened in his own territory in the past year, whether it is floods or droughts, or whether there is nothing to do with the plague. He can't make a fuss about it, let alone support the blood castle on the fracture.
In order to act realistically, some of them used rancid food and moldy bread at the banquet for grand duke Cedric.
When the grand duke Cedric left, he squeezed out a few poor supplies and food, and put in a pile of worthless guilt tears.
Cedric knows that the other side is acting, but he can't do anything. He can't lead his troops to break through the other party's warehouse to verify whether there is food in it?
No matter how overbearing he is, grand duke Cedric can't do it.
