PS: The second update today! Ask for votes!

“Recently, there has been some unrest in the north, and a famine swept many duchy.” Connet businessman Jacques said: “So some roads are not as safe as before.”

Su Liya nodded, her lips vomiting softly: “I know about this.”

For such a long time, there have been waves of riots and escaped slaves. The nobles are impossible to know. In fact, Many nobles in the kingdom have received intelligence.

Because of this, after Perchmond, Ryan and Morgiana passed their anger, he immediately arbitrated: the royal family gave 10,000 gold crowns, and the rest was handed over to the wife of Casvan To raise the price of all captured Knights, the King of Bretania will send a special envoy to negotiate with the empire.

For this ending, although everyone still has some opinions in their hearts, first of all, this is a compromise opinion, and everyone can barely accept it. Second, the negotiation is protracted, and it will not be good for everyone if it continues like this.

Many aristocratic territories have experienced instability and riots. This year’s grain harvest has had a great impact on everyone, and the aristocrats knew that the trouble should not go on.

This great political tide finally came to an end. Richard kept the throne in the chaos, but it is an indisputable fact that his influence on the kingdom has been further reduced.

“So, what does Mr. Jacques mean, the riots in the north are caused by the riots?” Su Liya asked.

“No, the situation is a bit weird. Some merchant ships can pass through, and some merchant ships cannot. According to merchants who successfully passed, a hurricane blew on the sea and many merchant ships were destroyed by the hurricane.” Jacques took the topic.

“The problem is now, madam.” Hadrian also said: “There are frequent riots in the north. Even if it is just a coincidence, the security in the north will only get worse for the time being, not better, Su Li Mrs. Ya, we need to open up new trade routes.”

Several businessmen understand a little bit, and the future countess will immediately understand.

As the risk of the northern sea route trade route rises, the profits of the merchants and nobles are affected. They urgently need to open new trade routes, and the biggest trade route is between the empire and the empire. trading.

So, when the businessmen came to look for Ryan, they planned to ask Ryan to find a way to find a new and reliable trade route, because Ryan is the biggest beneficiary of this golden trade route.

At the same time, the second largest beneficiary of this trade route is Sulia’s father Francois. Dame will also find ways to help these merchants out of his own family’s considerations.

Ryan’s reputation in Brittania is naturally very high, and his relationship with the empire is relatively strong. Emperor Karl-Franz Your Majesty has also met with Ryan many times. For trade each other needs.

After going through everything in the heart, Su Liya’s thoughts became clear. Dame said softly and dignifiedly: “If the northern business route is not available, there will be no reliable business route. Go on the path of the Axe-bite and Lady Grey, right?”

“Exactly.” Oliver responded immediately: “The problem lies here. The path of the Lady-Grey is not safe, and the path of the Axe-bite is unsafe. …The tax is too high. It is often two or three out of ten. It is difficult for us to bear such a high tax.”

Suria nodded, the earl’s fiancee continued to think about it, the Duke of Montfort The income of the overwhelming majority of the collar is dependent on the tariff of the axe biting the pass. Even if the Duke of Vulkade is picked up and the sword is placed on his neck, Vulkade will not agree to tax reduction.

“The road of Lady Gray is not easy to follow. Compared with the axe bite, this road is secondly difficult to travel. The problem is insecurity.” said Ismail, a large businessman in Polderro. “The Grey Lady’s road will also be taxed heavily by the Duke of Palaon. Although it is less than the axe bite pass, this trade route is too unsafe. There are many green-skinned tribes and dark creatures on the mountain road. It is difficult for the merchants to guarantee. Pass alive.”

“I know about this. In the depths of the Grey Lady’s Road, there is a vampire castle called the Eternal Dragon Rock, with a large number of dark creatures entrenched in it.” Suria looking thoughtful.

Dame admired her fiance’s vision from the bottom of her heart. She said with a faint smile: “In fact, Ryan has already discussed tariffs with Lord Casvan in the Imperial Barracks. Your Excellency Sfann promised that if you hold Ryan’s trade charter, the caravan can enjoy substantial tax relief.”

“Oh! That’s really good!” The few sitting at the end of the Conference Hall The businessman couldn’t help shouting.

This incident happened when Ryan met the captured Casvan in the imperial barracks. Ryan took advantage of Casvan’s defeat and was frustrated. When the defeated general was not brave enough, he asked He made his own proposal.

That is, Ryan requires the caravans in his territory to enjoy tax deductions when passing through the road of the Gray Lady.

Casvan also calmed down and began to consider Ryan’s suggestion.

This condition of tax reduction is not unacceptable to Casvan, Duke Pallaon has been jealous of Ryan’s ability to trade with wood elves for a long time.

If you don’t agree to Ryan’s request, he won’t get a penny. If you agree to Ryan’s request, the tax reduction is certainly his own loss, but at least he and his family will be able to gain a share in this gold business. A piece of the pie on the road.

After Casvan knew that he was captured, his family had to pay a staggering ransom for this, and the Knight family in his territory also, he needed money, and the situation was better than others. In Ryan Under the coercion and lure of, Casvan can only use the ring to stamp the contract, and then swear to the fairy in the lake that Goddess justified the contract on the spot, and would not give Casvan a chance to go back.

“Tax relief is a good thing, but we still have to find a way to solve the security problem of the gray lady’s road.” Su Liya not at all showed too much joy, Dame said calmly: “This needs to send troops. Gentlemen, we need to start a war to solve the problem of Longyan the Eternal once and for all.”

After that, Sulia’s sea-blue color eyes flashed with bright rays of light, and Dame’s tone was calm. He said: “If we want to send troops, we have to pass through Pallaon Duchy. This will not be considered until Casvan is redeemed. Furthermore, we want to open up this trade route…”

After finishing speaking, Su Liya slowed down a bit, and Dame was sitting tightly, exuding the great majesty of the daughter of the great nobleman.

Dame’s majesty is like the silk fabric that is tightly stretched on her chest, which brings a strong oppression to all the big business people present.

“Yes, of course, we will help His Excellency Ryan and his army solve the threat of Longyan the Eternal. Everyone has money to contribute, and we can do our best. Your Excellency Ryan will open up business for us, and we should serve.” Oliver first took the lead and said that this imperial businessman is Ryan’s biggest iron, and he was the first to stand up.

Oliver picked the head, and Hadrian was the first to respond: “No problem, it should be.”

When the remaining large businessmen saw this, they were all nodded.

The army and military force are both in the hands of the nobles. Merchants are not necessary for the nobles. If a businessman cannot show his own value to the nobles, he will be replaced or even killed. It will happen sooner or later, and most of the time, merchants can replace them in their previous positions.

No matter how powerful the merchants are, they can’t fight against the nobles, especially the Holy Grail Knight like Ryan. Ryan will only ask merchants to cooperate with him, and Ryan doesn’t have to ask anyone. .

Only in Marienburg, merchants would have some status, but when Ivan the Griffin Duke showed up with the Griffin Knights, they still had no choice but to confess.

“Very good.” With every move, Su Liya made the big businessman bow his head to admit defeat. This was destined to be an unfair duel, and Dame won the battle.

After the meeting, Dame got up and moved towards everyone with a perfect etiquette, and the businessmen quickly responded politely.

“Young Lady, you are amazing, these businessmen are subdued by you.” Su Liya’s maid Silvia said excitedly in the corridor: “These are all Young Lady Wisdom.”

“In fact, it is not.” Su Liya shook her head, her golden hair shook, and her tall and perfect golden figure moved along the corridor: “The merchants are not afraid of me, but I’m afraid of Ryan and my last name.”

“Young Lady…” Silvia whispered.

“It’s okay…Sylvia, do you know why I agreed to be engaged to Ryan so happily?” Su Liya brought her maid to a window in the castle.

In the distance, is the Oracle mountain range and Sharon forest shrouded in cold wind and clouds.

“Your Excellency Ryan, respect you very much. It is not Knight’s virtue of respecting women, but…a kind of respect for true equality. In the kingdom, Knight’s virtue is to respect women, but in fact it is mostly It’s a kind of courtesy. Many Knights don’t really respect women, but virtues require them to follow Knight’s etiquette.” Silvia whispered, “But your Excellency Ryan is different. He is willing to let you do it. Supporting you behind the scenes. In fact, he left many things to the Young Lady for you to do in the territory.”

“Yes, I like this.”

Dame revealed With devastatingly beautiful smiles, the entire corridor is illuminated.

…………

Su Liya just stayed on Ryan’s side under the pretext of helping Ryan deal with internal affairs. Su Liya has a very high level in Ryan’s territory. Prestige. Although she has not yet finished her marriage, Su Liya has already regarded herself as a mistress. Almost all the people, Ryan’s courtiers and Knights have recognized Su Liya’s position as his wife. Strength has won the respect and love of everyone.

Quiet evening, the master bedroom on the third floor of the castle.

The little maid Emilia, the dark elf Orika, the maid Sylvia and the Marquise Suria all stayed in the master bedroom. Emilia and Orika were wearing maid costumes. , Making tea for the earl and his future wife, Silvia was sitting by the fireplace and roasting.

“Is the famine in the north so serious?” On the soft white leather sofa, Ryan held a long form and sighed: “In the past few months, we have received nearly 10,000 escapes here. Slave, many sources are saying that while the Knight aristocrats were meeting in the capital, riots broke out in many villages, and the serfs killed the village elders and the steward left by Knight, and robbed them of food and money.”

“The climate in the northern part of the kingdom is not good this year, and the grain harvest is bad.” Su Liya shook her head slightly: “It is not surprising that there will be fugitive slaves, riots…it should be suppressed soon, Ryan, what are you caring about? “

“I care…” Ryan thought for a while, but shook his head: “Forget it, a lot of things have to wait until they really happen to make a judgment. What happened in the north is also a matter for the dukes and kings of the north. , We have neither reason nor excuse to intervene.”
