Manyu's army lacked stone materials. Even with the advantage of the Jacob River, transporting bricks and stones all the way was a very luxurious thing.
The fired clay used by the Yongye Army is made of bricks, which is most suitable here.
Sand and soil are readily available, and black coal and stone are available in as much quantity as you need. You can just find a piece of land and open a kiln for firing.
Now Yongye Military Leader is negotiating with Anji Beina on further cooperation issues, such as the transfer of large coal-consuming industries such as glaze and ceramic firing to a part of her territory to further reduce production costs by reducing the transportation consumption of black coal mines.
It's just an intention at the moment. The premise for doing this is that Angie Beina has absolute control over her territory. It's not like Sean's technology that he worked so hard to research was leaked within two days.
However, this is definitely a major trend in the future, because the transportation capacity of the Jacob River has an upper limit, especially the section of the river located in the Yongye Army Territory, which is quite narrow in some places.
At that time, goods will have to be diverted.
Of course, this is still a relatively distant thing. According to the current development speed of the Yongye Army, it will not be possible to saturate the Jacob River transportation in less than ten or eight years.
The development of any territory is closely related to funds.
With a large amount of capital injection, even remote areas can be built into wonderlands.
If there is no capital, even if it is guarding a piece of fertile soil, it will not be able to develop on its own.
Anjibeina City has a favorable location, funds, and sufficient technical support, so it is difficult to even think about it.
Compared with the royal capital of Valesta, there is still no comparison, but compared with Solo City, the real capital of the Manyu Army, it is only better.
Especially in recent years, Solo City has been severely damaged.
First, there was a slave gladiator uprising, which caused great harm to the place, and then it changed owners several times.
When the Jacob River resumed its flow, the first wave of floods wreaked havoc here again.
In recent years, Cardinal St. George and the new Archduke Patram have used this place as a wrestling ground. They have changed decrees day and night, and have been involved in many political affairs, resulting in conflicts of decrees, nobles taking sides, and so on.
All kinds of weird things are happening one after another. Not to mention the ordinary people are dazzled, even the nobles and nobles are a little unable to accept it.
The most important thing is that the two pillar industries here, slave gladiators and slave trading, have collapsed, and many people have lost their means of livelihood.
Farming alone cannot sustain the consumption of a huge city, and escapees abound.
Even though Patram has introduced various policies, it still cannot stop it.
The once largest city under Manyu's military leadership is in decline.
"Come in and sit down?" Angie Beina invited Sean.
"Next time, time is a bit tight this time. I have to get to Valesta before the New Year." Sean refused with a smile.
"Can you tell me what New Year's gift you have prepared for Her Royal Highness the Princess Regent this time? You, the lord, are actually asked to do it yourself?" Angie Beina couldn't help but asked curiously.
"It won't take long for you to know this. I believe it's more interesting to hear the gossip about this matter." Sean smiled and said.
"So, this is another big deal?" The more Sean kept secretive, the more Anjibeina felt itchy.
This guy can bring unexpected surprises to people every time they meet.
Especially giving gifts to the Regent Princess Sophia was never done secretly.
Instead, he was open and aboveboard, beating gongs and drums, lest others not know.
This is what he did when he first went to Valesta.
This was done during the New Year last year. Although the gifts were not as generous as the first time, it still made the ladies and ladies of Valesta turn their envious eyes into rabbits.
The last New Year's gift was based on silk clothing. A variety of silk clothing was given to several carriages, enough for the Princess Regent to attend various dinners throughout the year, without any duplicates.
As for advertising the Yongye military-collared silk clothing, it was just incidental.
It was also at that time that the Eternal Night Army truly opened up the luxury market in Valesta.
Now everyone in Valesta is still calling Sean a nouveau riche behind his back, showing off his disdain, but there are countless people who secretly wish to become a nouveau riche like the leader of the Evernight Army, or have such a nouveau riche.
Give them gifts.
Angie Beina, an alternative among the traditional aristocrats, is one of the few who agrees with Sean's idea of giving gifts.
Isn't giving gifts a matter of face-saving and something that needs to be done for the world to see?
Sean just smiled and said nothing, and had no intention of taking her to see the gifts prepared for the regent Princess Sophia.
Keeping secret is only one thing. On the other hand, this guy has always been very greedy. If he knew that he was giving the Regent Princess Sophia an aerial mount, he would have to stalk him to get one.
If you can refute someone's face in person, do it as little as possible.
Although Angie Beina could still get the news afterwards, but if she wanted to pursue him, she had to catch Sean.
After three to five years, Yong Ye's military leader's flight formation was formed, so it was not a bad idea to give her one.
"Stingy guy." Angie Beina returned to her car angrily.
Just like Sean understood her nature, after so many years of dating, she also understood Sean's character to some extent.
Although he usually looks harmless and easy to talk to, he is actually just a disguise. In his heart, he is a proud and stubborn person. At least he insists on things that few people can change.
.
At least Angie Beina can't do anything to him.
"See you later." Sean smiled, waved to Angie Beina and her city, and continued on his way.
In the next few hundred kilometers, we sailed smoothly into the port of Valesta's satellite city, Duo City. The Guards headed by Baozi had been waiting for a long time.
Since Sean often uses a black collar and travels back and forth between the Evernight Army Leader and the Royal Capital of Valesta, his guards have no way of keeping up.
The leader of the Yongye Army simply stationed a hundred-man guard in the royal capital of Valesta as a guard, ready to be dispatched at any time. Sean's champion knight's personal bodyguard Baozi also stayed in the royal capital of Valesta.
After all, he is of greater use here. When Sean is in the leadership of the Yongye Army, he will mostly be with his generals and does not need any guards at all. If someone really comes to the door, the generals in the Yongye Army will
And Relf, the intelligence chief, can collectively take the blame and resign.
Secondly, the royal capital of Valesta does not belong to one's own territory. It is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and anything can happen. No matter how cautious you are, you cannot be too cautious.
"Lord, everything is ready and ready to go." A tall knight wearing sealed heavy armor reported to Sean in a loud voice.
His helmet was held on his side, and his face was covered with criss-cross scars. There were also superficial irregular stitches on the scars, which made him look like a puppet made up of needlework, which was very eye-catching.
There is only one person in the Eternal Night Army who has this appearance - Sean's champion knight's personal bodyguard Baozi.
Everyone who knows his name knows that Baozi is a fool with a problem in his head.
But judging from his current performance, anyone who still thinks so must be a fool.
Baozi's current appearance is somewhat dull, but his words, deeds, and alert eyes are definitely not that of a fool.
In other words, Baozi's intelligence has now been restored.
Speaking of which, this has something to do with Valesta.
Don’t forget, what was Baozi’s original nickname – The Butcher of Valesta, as the name suggests, a butcher from Valesta.
The royal capital of Valesta is his hometown.
Setting foot on a familiar land again had a strong stimulation on his brain that had not recovered for a long time. He gradually recovered some memories, not to mention his IQ to some extent. Although it has not reached the level of a normal person, at least it has escaped from the original state.
An instinctive style of acting.
In the arena, most of the injuries Spartak caused to Baozi were external injuries, and his brain was not seriously damaged.
His amnesia and mental decline were purely caused by taking too much psychedelic drugs and causing brain damage combined with trauma.
The reason why he was able to recover was not only the emotional factor of returning to his hometown, but also the champion knight's evil self-recovery ability.
The bun who has regained his memory is no longer a bun, but Sir Herbert Salt.
His loyalty to Sean has not changed because of the restoration of his memory.
Although Baozi is no longer a Baozi, Herbert Selt is no longer the same as he was ten years ago.
During his time as Baozi, he only lost his memory, not his memory function. Everything he experienced in the past ten years was in his mind.
After regaining his thinking ability, he knows very well who is really good to him.
Some simple things are the most precious.
After he regained his memory, Sean gave him a choice, and he chose to give up his former knighthood and continue to serve Sean.
"Well done, get ready to go." Sean nodded, got into his carriage, and before putting down the curtain, he thought of something and turned to ask Herbert, "Still no news?"
Herbert's face twitched involuntarily, making the scars more obvious and more terrifying. A trace of uncontrollable sadness flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head and said: "Not yet."
"At times like this, no news is the best news. They must still be waiting for you somewhere. The Eagle Eye Special Service has already passed on the news and will help you pay attention." Sean comforted.
.
"Thank you, Lord." Herbert showed a hint of emotion.
Having followed Sean for so many years, I know very well what he sticks to. For his own sake, this is obviously a public weapon for private use.
"Don't give up, I believe you will be reunited with your family one day." Sean sighed, "This was my mistake. Ten years ago, I should have thought of sending someone to find your family. In this case, your
My family will no longer have to suffer the pain of displacement.”
"Lord, there is no need to blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. If you want to blame, I should blame myself. If I hadn't accompanied Swindi and acted willfully ten years ago, how would I have ended up today." Herbert shook his head and said, "I
I won’t give up, as long as I live one day, I will look for it one day.”
"As long as we keep looking, there is hope." Sean could only reply.
Herbert, who has recovered his memory, tries to find his family. Unfortunately, a lot can happen in ten years, especially when the backbone of a family falls. It is difficult for a woman to take two children in the royal capital of Valesta.
Live on.
According to the news from the inquiry, they only lasted for two years in Valesta before going bankrupt. Herbert's wife left with her two children and returned to her hometown. Since then, there has been no news from them, and they have not been heard from at all.
Did not appear in Herbert's fiefdom.
As for Herbert's fief, it had long been taken back by the Adolf family and given to others.
Like the Evernight Army Leader, there are not many territories with a complete pension system. The pension policies of many territories completely depend on the personal character of the local lord. If the character is good, he will give some compensation to the family members of the knights who died for him.
If you take care of someone with bad character, you won't care about their life or death at all.
The Adolf family obviously belongs to the latter. When you still have use value, they can praise you to the sky. When you lose your use value or die, you are worthless.
This is one of the reasons why the Adolf family did not come to their door after Herbert revealed his identity again. After all, what they did ten years ago was unfair. Do they still expect Herbert to still swear allegiance to them?
Of course, the great power of the Yong Ye Army Leader is also a factor that cannot be ignored.
The Adolf family had just suffered a defeat, and it was the defeated Kingsley family's Eastern Army led by the Yongye Army that defeated them.
No matter how brave they were, they would not dare to provoke the leader of the Yongye Army at this time.
If Sean were replaced by a real baron, they would never let go of a ready-made champion knight easily.
The gift-giving team led by Sean has just started. Several groups of knights from the Eternal Night Army have already gone out. They all reported the good news to the regent Princess Sophia in advance and told them straightforwardly that the Eternal Night Army is presenting a pair of griffins.
.
Sean and his team were only halfway through the journey, and the news spread throughout the entire royal capital of Valesta like it had wings.
"How's it going? Lord, isn't my move better than our gongs and drums?" The thin woman sitting opposite Sean on the carriage said with a smile.
"Compared with Sophia's move, the method we used originally was too outdated, too nouveau riche, and too nouveau riche. No wonder others put a nouveau riche hat on my head." Sean agreed and sighed.
"Compared with what others let them hear, they believe more in what they overhear or see inadvertently." Sophia crossed her legs elegantly, and a touch of charming white cream disappeared under the cheongsam, her slender legs
The silk on the dress and the cheongsam complement each other beautifully, and it will become the center of attention unconsciously.
Sean is not completely exempt from vulgarity. After all, he is also a man, a full-blooded man. After his relationship with Sophia Liya deepens, his self-control in this area has obviously dropped by several levels. The devil comes from the heart. This kind of
If you have too many thoughts, it is easy to cause problems. It seems that I have been too idle recently. As long as I get busy, I will naturally not have so many messy thoughts.
Sophia didn't seem to notice Sean's gaze, and then analyzed, "Outside the palace, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at it every day. The slightest disturbance will spread throughout Valesta as quickly as possible. I believe that only the Griffin
This word will arouse the interest of countless people, and they will take the initiative to promote us, which is much more effective than if we do it ourselves."
"I didn't expect that Sophia is not only good at fashion design, but also excellent at espionage work. Now she even studies psychology so thoroughly. It seems that you have integrated well in Valesta." Sean looked at his home with interest.
The first tailor in the territory.
There are no ugly women, only lazy women and women who don't know how to dress up.
This sentence is extremely suitable for Sophia.
The first time he followed Sean to the royal capital of Valesta, she was still dark and thin and very inconspicuous. Sean introduced Sophia Liya to her as the number one tailor in his territory, but she still looked scared.
Confidence.
Now she is bright and attractive. Not only is she wearing a cheongsam tailor-made for her, but she also has Valesta's most popular hairstyle at the moment, with light makeup, and is no worse than those noble ladies.
