Chapter two hundred and thirty fourth thin reputation
It took a whole winter for the water level of the Andis Inland Lake to completely drop and for the reflowed Jacobs River to begin to return to normal.
During this period, the Yongye Group Army was not idle either. The main force was transferred to the Andis Inland Lake to catch fish.
The water levels in the Andis Inland Lake have dropped dramatically, trapping many aquatic organisms in shallow puddles.
All they need to do is walk over or paddle over and pick them up.
Fish bigger than a boat, freshwater turtles as big as a tabletop, water snakes as thick as a human waist... These behemoths that usually lay dormant under the water surface all showed their traces at this moment.
While experiencing the extraordinary pleasure of harvest, many people who once swam in inland lakes were frightened and secretly glad that if anyone had come to visit them, they would have become dead souls in the water.
The harvest was so rich that even if all the citizens of the Yongye Group Army ate as much as they wanted, they would not be able to consume even a tenth of them.
The Yongye Army is now raising fish that can be stocked as long as conditions permit, and making fish that cannot be dried or canned to extend their storage period as much as possible.
Even so, with the warmth of spring and the blooming of flowers, many aquatic products that have not been processed in time are deteriorating and smelly, which makes the Yongye Group Army scratch their livers and lungs from top to bottom.
Since its establishment, the Yongye Group Army has spent most of its time running around for lack of food. This is the first time that it has worried about not having enough food to eat.
Fortunately, at this time, the Jacob River had stabilized. Boats of all sizes carried these nearly spoiled catches down the river. They were very popular in Manyu Army, and the price they sold was unexpected.
That's good, after all, this place is still in a state of food shortage.
The re-established Jacob River has not completely followed the old river course. After all, it has stopped flowing for more than 300 years, and many terrains have undergone considerable changes due to human or natural factors.
But the rushing flood will find a way out on its own.
Generally speaking, it did not affect the tripartite plan of Yongye Group Army, Sophia Liya and Angie Beina.
Their plan was a complete success, and as each port quickly took shape, fishing boats and merchant ships from the Yongye Army began to shuttle back and forth.
Yongye Group Army's mountain products, leather, fish catch, paper, ceramics, wood, Andis long bow, Tang's nailed armor and other specialties flowed down the river.
Vegetables, grain, linen, iron products, etc. from the Asia Minor plains are continuously transported to the Yongye Army.
Even the seemingly impoverished military leader Manyu has his own specialties - salt and coal, which are in great demand both in the Yongye Army and in the Asia Minor plains.
Suddenly, Jacob Jiang, who had not yet completely stabilized, fell into a busy state.
At the beginning, the Yongye Group Army sent several warships to patrol back and forth to show off.
In the later period, I didn't even bother to put on the appearance, and the battleship was directly used as a merchant ship.
Just as they had guessed at the beginning, in a short period of time, their family was the only one on the Jacob River.
As long as they don't cause trouble for others, no one can cause trouble for them.
Just when the small circle formed by the three forces of Yongye Group Army, Sophia Liya, and Angie Beina were communicating with each other through the newly opened water artery, they were strengthening their own power.
The matter of the resumption of the Jacob River continues to ferment, and the news seems to have wings, climbing over mountains, crossing rivers, crossing plains, and entering the hands of major family forces.
It is said that upon hearing the news, the Pope of St. Ethereum broke his most beloved crystal cup.
The ministers in the royal capital of Valesta were furious. Within half a month, thirteen meetings were held, each of which lasted no less than three hours.
The great elder of the witch conclave broke the scepter in his hand.
The president of the Warlock Alliance sat on the top of his magic tower for a whole day and night. It is said that the direction he faced was exactly where Andis Mountain was.
The current patriarch of the exiled Commons family stood on the bow of the ship, laughing wildly for half an hour, almost choking on his own saliva, shouting that their opportunity had come, and that their family's ship was like a shark that smelled fishy smell.
It began to flow towards the Zambe Inland Sea, hoping to once again have close contact with the entire Byron Alliance through the Jacob River.
The attention of the entire Byron Alliance was focused on the source of the Jacob River, the Andis Mountains, and spies from all forces swarmed in like flies that smelled a fishy smell.
"Your Highness, the number of merchants and travelers in the territory has been abnormal recently. It is obviously not the best business season, but the number is four to five times more than the most prosperous season in previous years. This is very abnormal. Should we arrest them all?" Hong.
Rose Amelia asked for instructions.
Although Amelia often appears as a diplomat as the regent, intelligence work is her true calling.
Not only to spy on the intelligence of other territories, but also to prevent the information in your own territory from being leaked.
He knows a lot about various espionage methods, including the seemingly advanced methods of the Yongye Group Army.
Because in this era, all espionage methods cannot avoid one thing - people.
With a relatively small floating population, every outsider is an object of suspicion.
This is caused by the general environment, and there is nothing the Yongye Army can do.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the merchants and travelers who flocked to Manyu's army during this period were captured and executed as spies, it would not be considered unjust.
"No need, the overall situation has been decided. Their arrival will not help the situation, so why bother to do it all and make yourself alone?"
As the transaction went smoothly, Sophia Liya, who was in a good mood, stretched out, revealing her beautiful curves, which showed that there was a lot of material under the thick clothes.
He said lazily: "The advantages of keeping them outweigh the disadvantages. After all, they did not come empty-handed and return empty-handed. What is this called? Commercial circulation, yes, commercial circulation. Only sufficient commercial circulation can drive the local area."
sexual development.”
Amelia opened her mouth, wanting to complain about whether her princess was too poisoned by the Yongye Group Army, but she really couldn't find a reason to refute.
On the contrary, the regent princess Sophia showed off her little knowledge of economics from Sean with some enthusiasm, "Don't disagree, I think it makes sense. You see, since Jacob Jiang returned to China, the three parties have been conducting business.
In just three months from the beginning, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the territory.”
"Everyone's life seems to be much richer than before, but the wealth they actually create has not changed. This is brought about by the realization of the circulation of goods. This is the power of the economy."
At the end of the story, Princess Regent Sophia's smooth and delicate face was shining, and her eyes were dancing with excitement.
In fact, she had felt the impact of commerce on a territory a long time ago. During the game with the Holy Ether Church, in order to compensate the nobles and nobles who suffered losses, she offered them a series of preferential conditions, which in disguise promoted the territory.
The conduct of business in China.
But when I did this, most of it was in exchange for the benefit of solving the problem, and it was not as far-reaching as I thought.
Even though she felt something ignorant afterwards, she was always in a passive state. After all, the economics of this era had not even begun to enlighten, and no matter how smart Sophia Liya's talent was, it was constrained and restricted.
It wasn't until I had an in-depth conversation with Sean that I was finally enlightened and had a strong sense of resonance and identity.
To be honest, Sean's knowledge in this area is only superficial, including the explanation of some professional terms, which may not be accurate.
But in this era of poverty and ignorance, you can definitely act as an expert.
"It's over." Amelia lamented in her heart that her princess was too deeply poisoned.
The Yongye Group Army is really scary in some aspects, just like a poisonous plague, you will be infected if you get it. I am secretly vigilant in my heart, and I must pay attention to prevention in this aspect in the future.
The two have been together for many years. When she saw Amelia's lost look, Sophilia knew what the other party was worried about. Her expression returned to normal a little and said: "Don't worry, I know what I am talking about. Business is not everything."
, the production of the people of the territory is the foundation. Without this foundation, commerce and trade will be just a tower in the air without the soil to take root and sprout. Even if the military leader Manyu has nothing, he still needs enough manpower if he wants to sell rock, black coal and stone.
Go mine.”
"The reason why I rely heavily on commerce now is because our territory already has such a foundation. The reform of farming methods and the emergence of large-scale workshops all require commerce as the foundation. If goods are not circulated, even if more food is produced,
, will also rot in our own hands, and those people will naturally have little enthusiasm for production. For some time to come, commerce and trade will be our focus of development."
Amelia can be the person Sophilia relies on the most, so she is not lacking in knowledge. The biggest advantage of a smart person is that she can understand everything at once. Sophilia has said it so straightforwardly, so she naturally understands what it means.
But she also has her own stubborn side: "After all, the leader of the Yongye Army has a different origin from us, and some things need to be treated with caution, especially some of the ideas of General Sean, which are not only unfriendly to the divine authority, but also question the royal authority.
This kind of thinking is very dangerous and is not conducive to governance, and must be taken precautions against."
"Amelia is overthinking it. You just said it yourself. It's just a concept. General Sean didn't put it into action because he killed something that doesn't exist. This is what a tyrant does. It's really smart.
Rulers should use a wide range of ideas to find the most appropriate and beneficial way of governing the country."
Sophilia said meaningfully: "Our reform is also a kind of observation and implementation of ideas. The Yongye Army Leader will be a very important strategic partner for us in the future. Amelia cannot look at others with this kind of discrimination.
, after some time, I plan to organize an exchange mission to be stationed in Yongye Army to exchange and learn from each other. I prefer to let you lead the team in person. They do have a lot that we can learn from and learn from."
"If we really want to establish an exchange mission, even if Your Highness does not have this inclination, I will personally ask for it." Amelia looked firm, as if if I don't go to hell, who else will.
After repeated contacts, the threat index of the Yongye Group Army greatly increased in the mind of this outstanding intelligence officer.
suspicious.
It's her survival instinct and professional nature.
It is true that the Yongye Group Army is their ally now, but aren't agreements meant to be broken up, and allies meant to be betrayed?
She has the obligation to keep an eye on the other party, collect intelligence information on the other party, and prevent the worst possibility from happening.
She had lived in the Yongye Group Army's territory for three or four months, and she thought she knew him well enough.
Unexpectedly, the Yongye Group Army gave her a series of blows. First, it came up with a subversive strategic weapon such as black gunpowder, and then came various innovative products, whether it was incredibly thin paper or crystal clear.
Ceramic glass.
During the time she lived in the Yongye Group Army, she never got any information.
Obviously, what he saw at the beginning was only the tip of the other party's iceberg, and there were more things hidden by them in the mountains, which once again shrouded their originally clear faces in a veil of mystery.
In Amelia's eyes, the most dangerous creatures are not the wild birds and beasts with their fangs and claws, but the poisonous snakes that hide themselves in caves.
Because no one knows how big the other party is until the other party comes out of the hole.
She definitely didn't join the exchange mission just for the sake of communication.
"I just like Amelia's serious look." Sophilia was amused by Amelia's look. She knew that the other party had misunderstood her intentions, but she had no intention of correcting her.
As a mature politician, Sophilia has long developed the good habit of not trusting any interest group.
Intimate, non-existent.
Keeping distance and being vigilant in cooperation is the correct way to open up.
Collecting information about the Yongye Group Army in advance does not mean that she wants to do anything to the Yongye Group Army, but simply nip it in the bud, just like the Yongye Group Army planted nails around her early.
When we met for the first time, the amount of information Sean had in his hands already explained a lot of problems.
This situation is very common in power relations.
If the relationship is good, as long as the other party is not too aggressive, most people will turn a blind eye and pretend not to know.
If the relationship deteriorates, tolerance will drop sharply, and then some people will be arrested and killed.
The forces of the Princess Regent and the Evernight Army are in the honeymoon period, and their tolerance is naturally at the highest level. Even if Sophia Liya blatantly throws sand into the Evernight Army, Sean can't completely refuse.
Because Sophia turned a blind eye and spies from all major forces entered the princess' territory, the whole incident is being restored, although there are a lot of supplementary elements in it.
But there are a few things that are certain.
First of all, the regent princess Sophilia knew about Jacob Jiang's re-liuing before this, including Angie Beina, although her subjects firmly believed that this was the countess' prophecy.
There is no way to defend this point, and everything the Princess Regent did two years in advance is the best proof.
Many people used this kind of thing to attack Sophia Liya, and at the same time, they also took a deep breath of air-conditioning.
In the past few years, the situation that the regent Princess Sofilia seemed to be messing around with was completely reversed with the return of Jakob Jiang.
Most of the territory is located on both sides of the Jacobs River, including those enclaves that once seemed very useless, and they are connected by the Jacobs River.
What's even more frightening is that Sophia Liya already has a large fleet in her hands, which is continuously transporting supplies to these once barren lands. It won't be long before these places will become prosperous ports and become choke points.
Live in a strategic location with a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
It really is possible to advance, attack, retreat and defend.
It makes people salivate and at the same time, there is nothing they can do.
Without the cooperation of a large number of ships, even if these key points are captured by force, they cannot be defended.
