Chapter 64

"Your Highness..."

standing there, looking at olliman standing there in front of him, looking a little lost, Chen Heng reminds her.

That's when oliman came back.

"Sorry."

Looking at Chen Heng in front of her, she sighed and covered up: "sorry, I can't help thinking about some of the past when I see you."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Heng is very understanding nodded, and did not ask more.

"Karin, you're not in Kutu these months. Where have you been?"

Looking at Chen Heng, oliman continued to speak.

For Chen Heng where, she naturally very clear, at the moment is just put aside the topic, in order to answer.

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

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

"Oh?"

"I don't know. What's the matter?" she asked

"Is it convenient for Fang to disclose?"

Her face with curiosity, a smile on the beautiful face, people can't help itching.

I'm afraid anyone who sees her can't help but want to show off her achievements.

Chen Heng was not moved, but simply said what he had done with a smile.

What he did, important as it is, is not secret.

At least, if you want to investigate, I'm afraid you will know the result soon.

Since there is no possibility of concealing, Chen Heng has no intention of concealing. He speaks directly and tells what he has done.

"North South trade."

Listening to Chen Heng's story, Princess oliman showed surprise on her face, and her face was full of admiration: "what a good idea."

"How do you think of it?"

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

Compared with before, this time, although she still has the camouflage ingredient, but it has many sincere.

She really admired what Chen Heng had done and wanted to communicate with adier in many places.

At the moment, the performance is not all camouflage.

"My friend kurudo is a Lord from the north."

Sitting opposite Princess oliman, Chen Heng said softly, "through my friend, I understand the life of the northern lords, their plight, and the surprise of the north and the south."

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

"Oh."

Oliman had some interest: "tell me, what did you find?"

"That would be very cumbersome."

Chen Heng laughed and continued: "such as climate, such as production."

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

"This difference has a serious impact on output and also on the Lord's income."

"Compared with the south, because of the climate in the north, the yield of grain is not high. The yield of every mu of land is only a quarter of that of the south."

"In the same way, fighting with other desert people led to a long-term war."

Looking at olliman, Chen Heng explained: "the fighting has affected production, forced the labor force that could have been put into production into soldiers, and even seriously affected the farming cycle, leading to a further decline in output."

"These factors affect the price of grain, leading to very high food prices in the north."

"Indeed."

Olliman looked at Chen Heng and agreed with him.

What Chen Heng said is very simple and clear, but not everyone can sum it up in this era.

For many aristocrats who grew up in Kutu, they did not even know where they were in the north, let alone what they summed up.

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

Oliman then opens her mouth and looks at Chen Heng with great interest.

For this question, she just casually asked, and did not expect Chen hengzhen's answer.

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

Those professionals who have a good understanding of the situation in Beidi have no way to solve it, let alone Chen Heng.

But to her surprise, in front of her eyes, Chen Heng just thought a little and gave the answer.

"There are two ways."

Chen Heng thought for a moment, then said: "the dilemma of the northern Lords is not the low output, but the continuous war."

The level of land output, in fact, will not lead to the plight of the Lord.After all, even if the output of one mu of land is less, it only means that the Lords' income is less, and their life may not be well-off, but it is impossible for the lords to fall on the verge of financial collapse.

The real dilemma of the northern landlords was that they had to face the strong military pressure while the land output was low and the income was low.

Because of the strong pressure from the desert, the northern lords had to fall into a long war.

War, on the other hand, requires cost.

It is precisely because of their low income, but also continue to pay high costs of war, so that the northern Lords will be in today's dilemma.

Therefore, the way to solve the dilemma of the northern Lords is very direct.

"To solve this problem, either let the pressure from the desert disappear, or let the northern lords profit in the war, so that they can continuously recover the cost in the war, so as to support it."

Looking at oliman, Chen Heng said his answer.

"How can we do that?"

Looking at Chen Heng, olliman asked this question subconsciously.

At the beginning, she listened very casually and carelessly.

But as Chen Heng opened her mouth, she became more and more absorbed. In the end, she had concentrated all her spirit and listened carefully.

As the king's daughter of Kutu and the Lord close to the northern lords, she always attached great importance to the problem of the northern Lords.

In the past, she has also listened to the suggestions of many relevant people, but no one has ever been as thorough and clear as Chen Heng.

"It's very simple."

Looking at olliman, Chen Heng continued: "if you want to reduce the burden of the northern lords, you can start from trade."

"Different from the situation in the north, due to the climate and environment, the food production in the south is very rich, sometimes even to the point that the food is rotten in the warehouse and can not be sold at all."

"It's the opposite of high food prices in the north."

Chen Heng whispered: "through trade, surplus grain from the South can be transported to the north, thus reducing the cost of the northern Lords."

"On the other hand, the slaves obtained by the northern lords in the war can also be digested through trade, so that the northern lords can make profits in the war, and the war is no longer a unprofitable thing."

"If these two points are done well, the pressure of the northern Lord will be reduced a lot, and it will not be as difficult as before."
