Chapter 65

"And then?"

Looking at Chen Heng, olliman's face was solemn, and then she spoke.

She had realized the importance of North South trade before.

But before that, she was more aware of the huge profits hidden in it.

After Chen Heng's explanation, she realized how important this trade was to those northern lords who were in trouble.

"Then, the principality came forward to reward and support the lords who had made great contributions in the war."

Chen Heng then said: "in the past, most of the mainland territories ignored the war launched by the northern lords in the north, thinking that it was the matter of the northern lords themselves."

"But in fact, without the northern lords resisting the pressure from the desert in the north, the whole kingdom would have to face great pressure, and the nobles would not have been so relaxed."

Princess oliman nodded silently.

Indeed, in the past, except for a few people, no one cared about the situation of the northern Lords.

All people think that they should resist the alien race from the desert.

On the one hand, it's because it's none of your business. On the other hand, it's also because, according to the custom of this era, things in your own territory belong to you.

The Lord has all the dominion over his own territory, so he naturally has the obligation to surround him.

"Under normal circumstances, naturally."

Chen Heng continued: "but the situation in the north is unusual."

"It's not easy for the northern lords to resist the pressure from the desert."

"If it goes on as it is, it will be very bad."

"What will happen?"

Olliman asked subconsciously.

"War is a matter that needs to be invested. If the northern lords are unable to benefit from the war and obtain assistance from the Kingdom, there will be only two results."

Chen Heng spoke softly, saying: "under the constant loss, these northern lords either collapsed, and the Kingdom lost the northern barrier, or let them find another way out."

War is a cost.

Food, weapons, equipment, and even human resources are all costs.

When the gains of a war cannot offset the losses, the losses are inevitable.

And when the Lords lose money, they have only two choices left.

Either, it is to choose death in the continuous loss, or it is to find another way out.

"At that time, most of the northern Lords will look for other ways out."

Chen Heng opened his mouth in a soft voice and said with a sigh, "what is the way they will choose?"

"What could it be?"

With Chen Heng's thought, olliman subconsciously entered into thinking.

When the northern lords are unable to bear the continuous loss and choose to find another way out, what will their choice be?

The answer is obvious.

"They will abandon their territory and go south with their troops."

Chen Heng whispered: "since the war with other nations can not make up for their own losses, then as long as to other places to rob."

"At that time, the northern Lords will surely go south to fight with the other lords of Kutu."

"It will be a storm then."

Oliman shivered with cold.

A group of northern lords who could not bear the losses and had to go south would be devastating to Kutu.

In particular, they found that the southern lords and the army of Kutu were far better to deal with than the alien tribes in the desert.

Although the northern lords are poor, they are definitely the most powerful ones because they are faced with war all the year round.

In addition, by that time, they had no other way out, and the power they burst out was absolutely amazing.

At that time, no matter what the result is, the whole Kutu country is bound to face a huge storm.

Without the resistance of the northern lords, the alien race in the desert will definitely take the opportunity to set out, making the Kutu Kingdom face great pressure.

But at the thought of the consequence, oliman trembled.

"So, even to avoid this outcome, the kingdom must support the northern lords as much as possible."

Looking at oliman, Chen Heng spoke softly and said so.

"But is it directly supported by the royal family?"

Oliman continued, asking earnestly.

"Of course not."

Chen Heng shook his head and said, "the support for the northern Lord must be costly."

"These expenses, if fully supported by the royal family, will lead to the decline of the royal family step by step and create opportunities for those Lords.""So, we have to let the Lords all over the country contribute."

"But how can this be done?"

Oliman asked, serious and expectant.

Unconsciously, she has devoted herself to this conversation.

Chen Heng's talk seems to have opened up her horizons and brought her to look at problems from an unprecedented perspective.

It was a feeling she had never felt before.

Therefore, unconsciously, her mood from the original casual, to the dignified behind, and now to the expectation and serious.

"Under normal circumstances, it's impossible."

Chen Heng continued to speak, looking at olliman and said, "however, there is an exception."

"That's the opportunity to acquire territory."

"You can tell them to lead their troops to the north. As long as they have the ability to take root in the desert and successfully defend that area, they will be recognized as the Lords of that area and given the opportunity to become real nobles."

"It's ok...

oliman was stunned, then suddenly.

Yes.

Nobles cherish the strength of their families. Under normal circumstances, they are not willing to waste any wealth of their families to support the northern Lords.

But territory is an exception.

In this world, no matter who, for a piece of their own territory, are extremely eager.

If you have a chance to acquire a territory and become a real aristocrat, even if you need to pay something, I'm afraid there are a lot of people.

Especially those who had no chance to inherit the territory and become the second sons of the nobility, even other children.

In order to obtain the territory, they must take people to fight in person, go to fight with the alien in the desert, and seize their territory.

And these actions will indirectly reduce the pressure of the northern lords, so that they need to face less pressure.

The whole process requires neither much money nor effort.

What the Kingdom needs to pay is only the recognition of these Lords.

Thinking of this, oliman's eyes became brighter and brighter.
