"Thank you, madam, for the reminder. I will handle this matter with caution." At this time, the first thing that came to Sean's mind was the figure of Darnell. His territory was not a white space for the Holy See.
Darnell was purely a piece of free play that Sean played in the past. At first, he focused on the opponent's double peak strength. He did not expect that one day he would be able to use his other aspects. If he were to be pushed to the front and compete with the Holy Ether Church,
Don't know what the situation is?
Both parties believe in the God of Truth, but the trick that Darnell created has long been made specious by him based on his personal wishes.
However, compared to the Holy Ether Church, the church built by Darnell under the Eternal Night Army is much simpler. There are neither Holy See knights nor church land. Everything comes from the voluntary offerings of believers, and the responsibility of the church is to serve
Those believers provide spiritual shelter and give their souls something to rely on.
The few missionaries lived like ascetics.
Moreover, due to the special situation of the Yongye military leader, and the special existence of the Military Commission in the army, Darnell's new church is not expanding very fast, and it is only building the third church so far.
Darnell, on the other hand, was tepid. He insisted on spreading his faith step by step. Now he also set his sights on the Crocodile tribe. These people have no faith and have not been brainwashed by the military committee of Yongye Army. They should preach.
Easier.
Amelia smiled and comforted: "His Majesty Pope Delt's end is approaching. When he dies and the next pope takes office, we still don't know how things will change!"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Pope Delte used oracles instead of oracles. The next pope can overturn the oracles, but he cannot overturn the oracles. Otherwise, he will fall into a paradox. As long as the next pope is not a fool.
, wouldn’t do such a stupid thing.” Sean was not as optimistic as Amelia.
It seems that the leader of the Eternal Night Army needs to increase his support for Darnell, but before that, he must meet the former leader of the Holy Ether Sword in person to explore the other party's attitude. If he is not willing to talk to him
It's useless for the old folks to fight against each other.
"But even if there is an oracle, it will take a lot of time to reach the ears of all believers, let alone change the original inherent views and put them into action. It will not be fermented for three to five years and it will not show its power.
." Sean was analyzing it not so much for Amelia, but for himself, "It's a rare meeting, so let's not discuss such a heavy topic. Looking at the lady's dress, it should be the latest style. We are here
Valesta’s business must be good, right?”
"Your Majesty, Baron, isn't he asking questions knowingly? I don't believe that you don't know how prosperous the silk clothing business is." Amelia glanced sideways at Sean.
Sean spread his hands and said: "I have been dragged into the swamp of despair recently. This alone consumes all my brain. I have no time to care about business matters."
"People are more popular than others. Your Excellency, the Baron, is not only good at running the territory, he is also good at doing business. The silk clothing business is not only booming, it is almost exploding. Your Excellency, the Baron, has now become one of the ladies and ladies in the royal capital."
The most talked about man in the boudoir, it is said that many noble ladies have expressed their willingness to marry you." Amelia couldn't help laughing at the end.
Sean made a shocked expression and said: "Six months ago, I was a barbarian they despised. Why are they vying to be my wife now? Isn't it just to have endless silk clothes?"
"That's right, just to have endless silk clothes to wear, haha... This is the most ridiculous joke I have ever heard." Amelia couldn't help but laugh out loud as soon as she finished speaking.
Sean just pursed his lips and smiled, thinking in his heart, this is because you are ignorant. He has seen things like selling his body for a hundred times more ridiculous reasons. This is nothing at all. It can only be said that the current customs of the Byron Alliance are
It's too simple.
What is the most fashionable thing in Valesta right now?
Nine out of ten people will answer silk clothing.
Less than a year after the rise of silk clothing, it became popular throughout Valesta. Those ladies and noble ladies were all proud to have a set of silk clothing of their own.
Silk clothing is about to be praised by them. Not only does it have a luxurious appearance, but the material is as smooth as silk. You can't feel their existence when you wear it. Even the toughness and strength are beyond imagination. They can be used as
For armor.
For the first time, men not only did not reject this fashion that originally belonged to women, but instead vigorously pursued it.
Because that kind of silk clothing does show unusual beauty on women, especially those with graceful lines. It is definitely a visual enjoyment. In private, it adds a lot of fun, and it soon becomes popular with men.
It has cultivated a group of loyal followers.
Their pursuit has stimulated the madness of those women in disguise. After all, they dress not only for the purpose of comparison between the same sex, but mainly to show their charm in front of the opposite sex.
Among the silk clothing, silk underwear is the most popular among ladies and young ladies. It is as delicate and silky as a girl's skin, and has the characteristics of being warm in winter and cool in summer.
Once used, it is difficult to tolerate the roughness of linen.
It is said that the special materials used in silk clothing contain ingredients that are good for human health. Regular wear can make people's skin as smooth and shiny as silk clothing.
No one has yet made it clear what the exact ingredients are.
However, most of the ladies who have worn silk clothing have praised it, saying to varying degrees that their skin seems to have become fairer and more attractive, attracting more people to follow them.
Correspondingly, there is its high price. A set of tailor-made silk clothing from head to toe cannot be purchased without a thousand royal gold coins.
This is far beyond the consumption capacity of most families. An ordinary family of five cannot earn this amount without eating or drinking for ten years.
Nowadays, silk clothing is an out-and-out luxury product, and only those ladies with good fortune can afford it.
Even so, it is still priceless.
In the beginning, those who could find a way to customize a set of silk clothing were those with very good channels, and the customization cycle was as long as three weeks.
Many people hold real money and silver, but have no means of desire.
This situation was relieved until the opening of the Princess Wardrobe silk clothing store in Valesta, but it is not that easy to own a set of silk clothing of your own.
It is said that the silk clothing orders for the princess's wardrobe have been scheduled for half a year.
There are more wealthy people in the Byron Alliance than you can imagine.
Many of them used to have money and no place to spend it, so they could only bury them in backyard cellars and grow moldy.
The emergence of silk clothing opened up a whole new world, making those women suddenly realize that they could wear real gold and silver.
No, wearing real money and silver makes them look too nouveau riche, which is inconsistent with their noble status and unique taste.
After silk clothing, all kinds of weird luxury goods appeared.
There is no need for Sean and the others to guide them deliberately. Those traditional jewelers will try their best to process more exquisite and luxurious jewelry, so that they can match the expensive silk clothing, right?
The pursuit of profit is the instinct of all businessmen and does not need to be taught at all. As long as someone puts a possibility in front of them, they will automatically follow suit.
Naturally, other merchants of silk clothing have no idea. After all, in terms of raw materials, the Yongye Army has a monopoly. Currently, the hunting bird spider silk produced in the territory is not enough for itself, so naturally there is no excess to sell to other merchants.
These merchants could only find other shortcuts. On the one hand, they made the original fabrics finer and smoother; on the other hand, they inlaid various precious jewelry materials on the clothes to increase their value.
Not to mention, there is still a large market for doing this.
After all, the luxury goods market of the Byron Alliance is in its infancy, with supply exceeding demand, and custom-made silk clothing is not available, so this kind of clothing can only be used as a substitute. Even if it feels a bit like a nouveau riche, it is better than being completely outclassed.
With the continuous expansion of Yongye military collar silk clothing, the market for this substitute will become smaller and smaller until it is completely squeezed out.
As one of the spokespersons of the princess’s wardrobe, all the clothes Amelia wears are naturally made by the leader of the Evernight Army.
No matter how tight the supply of silk clothing is, there will still be enough for them to wear.
What's more, orders for silk clothing are tight, limited by the output of raw materials, which is only one aspect.
On the other hand, the leaders of the Yongye Army consciously created starvation sales. Because they were in a monopoly position, they could do this blatantly to maintain the high price of silk clothing.
The Byron Alliance does not have any anti-monopoly laws, and Sean will not foolishly remind Her Royal Highness the Regent, even if the other party is his ally.
After all, the Yongye Army will produce more and more monopoly products in the future. If anti-monopoly laws are enacted, the one who will suffer the most will be himself.
After Sean opened up the situation in Valesta, he really did not invest any more attention there. With just a few words from Amelia, he had already outlined the situation of his business in Valesta.
Although the other businesses of the Yong Ye Army Leader in Valesta are not as popular as silk clothing, they are not far behind, especially those related to people's livelihood such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
As mentioned before, the polarization between the rich and the poor in the Byron League is so severe that 90% of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of one percent of people, and most of these one percent of people are concentrated in people like Valles.
In a big city like Tajikistan, even if you don't live here for a long time, you will often go here to spend money.
The relatively short history of the Byron League, at least compared to the five thousand years of the flower growers, is indeed far behind.
This puts many of their catering, clothing and other industries in a state of enlightenment. They have certain local characteristics of food, but they are relatively simple and cannot withstand the attack of the alien version of the flower-planting meal produced under Sean's influence.
And compared to silk clothing, food is more affordable.
There are both high-quality and cheap food that the poor like, and expensive and delicious food that the nobles like.
In line with Sean's original point of view, getting money from rich people is the fastest way to make money.
In less than a year, the Yongye Army has hundreds of pubs, restaurants, and hotels in Valesta, accounting for one-tenth of the Yongye Army's foreign trade share.
The Kingsley family, which is famous for its wealth, has been dragged into a financial crisis. Up to now, the Yongye Army leader has not had any financial pressure at all. It relies on the continuous extraction of money from the Byron Alliance through the water channel of the Jacob River. supplementary financial resources.
No matter how rich the Kingsley family is, they can't compare with most of the wealthy people in the Byron League, right?
In terms of financial resources, the leader of the Yongye Army has never been afraid of the Kingsley family.
The two chatted for a while, and Amelia turned the topic to business: "How is the Baron going to deal with the 200,000 troops of the Kingsley family?"
The topic has finally come.
Sean did not answer Amelia, but threw the question back, "What do you think, Your Highness the Princess?"
"His Royal Highness's opinion is to listen to the Baron's opinion first, and then take advice. After all, we are allies, and we can't try to undermine our own family?" Amelia's Tai Chi Baguazhang is self-taught without a teacher.
"My opinion is that I want to hear His Highness's opinion first." Sean is also a master in this matter.
"It's meaningless for your Lord Baron to say that. Your Highness sent me here just to hear your true thoughts, and then consider how to respond to Archduke Buck's request." Amelia's smooth face showed a trace of dissatisfaction, and the Princess Regent spoke. Sending her here under such circumstances has shown enough goodwill, but Sean's continued pushback seems a bit excessive.
"I think Madam has misunderstood me." Sean explained with a smile, "The Kingsley family is a member of the Byron Alliance after all. In a military confrontation, it is one thing to destroy their 200,000 troops. Deliberately defrauding their 200,000-strong army is another matter. Her Royal Highness the Princess values our alliances, and we must pay attention to the feelings of our allies. We are currently discussing this issue. If we can know Where is His Highness's bottom line, so that we can formulate a strategy to get the best of both worlds. If we hadn't known that Ms. Amelia was on the way here, we would have sent a special envoy to Valesta."
"Your Highness will be very happy to know that the Baron has thought so carefully." Amelia showed a sincere smile, like a rose blooming, dazzling.
Regardless of whether what Sean said was true or polite, at least he showed that he valued his alliance with the Princess Regent. As long as he was sure that this was still the case, the remaining issues of interest could be discussed slowly.
As long as the interests of both parties are consistent, the alliance is indestructible.
So far, there has been no irreconcilable conflict of interest between the two parties, and I believe that the Kingsley family's Eastern Army campaign is no exception.
Perhaps Sean himself was not aware that his response just now had sent a potential signal that the leader of the Yongye Army was not very interested in taking down the 200,000 troops.
Otherwise, you should not check the Princess Regent's opinion first, but send out a strong signal immediately to facilitate your allies to react. This has nothing to do with people, but is normal thinking and reasoning.
After all, Sean's time to become a leader was too short, and he needed to explore many things on his own. Compared to Amelia, who had been struggling in this field for who knows how many years, she still lacked a little bit of experience.
Amelia, who was confident in her heart, stopped her smile and said solemnly: "In this position, Her Royal Highness the Princess needs to consider not only her own interests, but also the overall interests. The threat of the Odin Orcs is obvious to all, don't look at it.
They are now fighting to the death. Once our Byron Alliance falls into civil strife, they will immediately unite and march southward, leaving no eggs behind. If the entire Byron Alliance falls into war, it will not be good for us."
"Your Highness, what you mean is that the war cannot escalate anymore?" Sean asked in conclusion.
"That's right, the war cannot escalate any further. The Kingsley family's Eastern Army can be weakened, and the Kingsley family can be poached, but it must not be allowed to collapse, otherwise the entire Byron Alliance will be involved and will never be able to survive again.
Control." When Amelia came, she had obviously been authorized by the Princess Regent and said directly without even thinking about it.
