Chapter 426

"Honey, come and see."

Victor grabbed Sylvia's slender waist, pointed to the animal skin map on the table and said: "The Al kingdom is the political center of the human world and the largest material distribution center. The 11 taxes of the eastern alliance and the Borui Kingdom converge in the Al Sasan Empire and the Wharton prairie through the trade routes of the SUS kingdom. The 11 taxes of the Dodo Kingdom flow into Al through the Neville kingdom. The 11 taxes of the Dodo Kingdom flow through the trade routes of Gambis."

"Most of the eleven taxes paid by the Lord are retained by the bishop, and the total amount of materials transported to Al is less, which is more symbolic. Therefore, cardinals and the holy see everywhere often entrust large business groups to transfer the eleven taxes and relief materials. It is impossible for each caravan to go to al for nothing for the church. They mainly trade and transport the materials of the church. Over time, AI You have become the largest trading city in the human kingdom. "

"If there is a port on the Bank of Firth Lake in Al, the goods and materials of our people and horses can go directly to the trade center through the Jinshui River channel. In the wind season, the fleet will transport the purchased materials back to Rosa port. According to my calculation, the transportation cost of shipping is only 20% of that of land transportation. Moreover, the fleet has freedom of movement, and there is no need to pay transit tax to the LORD along the way. This means It means that people and horses can get rid of the exploitation of caravans and lords, and the sales profit of goods can increase by at least five times! "

"Honey, do you know what five times the profit means?"

Victor released Sylvia, holding the animal skin map in both hands, said enthusiastically: "Randall led the sales revenue in yeliucheng last year to 19000 gold sol. After deducting various costs and labor, the net profit will not exceed 2000 gold sol. If the profit is increased by 5 times, it will be 10000 gold sol..."

"Wait." Sylvia opened her beautiful eyes and asked in surprise, "nbiser told me that he made 18000 gold sols in Yeliu city and 54000 gold sols in Jinshui city last year. Why did Randall make so little money?"

Victor was stunned for a moment before he realized it. Sylvia didn't know the difference between profit and income.

Most of the territories adopt a self-sufficient agricultural economic model. The Lords have no clear concept of trade profits and production costs. For example, in animal husbandry, cattle and sheep are sold as soon as they grow up. There is no need to consider the feeding cost and sales cost. Anyway, the grazing grass in the territory is cut and cut, and the wages of employees are pitiful. It is just to sell the remaining cattle and sheep Wealth, those rotten in hand are called loss.

"Honey, income and profit don't mean the same thing. You can think of profits as additional income... Let's say, if there was no yeliucheng market, I'm afraid I wouldn't even earn 2000 kinsol."

Victor explained a few words in pain. Seeing Sylvia's lack of interest, he decided to throw out what she was interested in and said: "Once the waterway of Jinshui River is opened, it will break the material blockade of Yuanbao against Renma hills. The secret silver, medicinal materials and silk of dusk forest, iron and gold of Neville, as well as the refined gold and bread fruit of Borui people can reach Renma hills through Jinshui River."

And fire element crystal and silver mine... Victor added in his heart.

Sylvia nodded and said thoughtfully, "go on, I'm listening."

"Did you find that lake Firth is also a territory waiting to be developed." Victor clicked on the map and said: "The shallow water on the North Bank of Firth lake can support millions of fish people. How much wealth does the whole lake contain? According to the principle of who develops and who owns, Al and Rand Empire leaders will not watch the Gambis plunder the wealth in Firth lake. The old Marquis SoLIM's view is very accurate. It's only a matter of time before al will build a port on the lake."

Sylvia put her left arm on the table and her right hand held her delicate chin. Her slender waist collapsed downward to set off her hips. She raised her head and saw her lover's eager eyes staring at her waist and hips. She couldn't help complaining: "You are not ready to support Marquis SoLIM's proposal to build a port at the mouth of Lake Firth. You also know that Marquis SoLIM's proposal must be opposed by everyone. But Marquis SoLIM will disclose the contents of the meeting. The Lords of Gambis are opposed to forming an alliance with the RAND Empire to jointly fight against the fish people on the lake shore, and only the York family supports it. When neowest builds the lakeside port, You can establish good diplomatic relations with the imperial leaders. "

"Dear Madam, isn't that why you agree with me?"

Victor sat down next to Sylvia, rubbed her waist and hip with his right hand and said: "The mouth of the Firth lake is a strategic place. If kite Fort controls it, it can block the channel of the Jinshui River. Even if we have a port and warships, we can't move. So kite Fort must build a port at the mouth of the Firth lake. When neowest takes the initiative to launch the fishman war, they will rush to build a port under the leadership of Baron krumen, so as to hold the throat of the Jinshui River and occupy the south of the development Lu's dominance. It's just. Marquis SoLIM broke the truth that everyone knows. "

"If we can maintain an ambiguous relationship with neowest, the strategic significance of krumen port will be greatly reduced."

Victor continued: "at that time, kite castle will unite with us to curb neowest's activities in Firth lake."

Sylvia shook her head and said, "have you ever thought that since there are so many advantages in building a port, why doesn't the kingdom of SUS build a port in Lake funas or lake Firth?"

Victor frowned: "Although the FUNUS lake is close to the kingdom of SUS, it is still nearly a thousand kilometers away from the national border. The main army of the kingdom of SUS is concentrated in the twilight forest line. Even if they have the strength to fight on two lines, they can't go to the distant FUNUS lake to fight an insignificant fish man war. Otherwise, the shining Knights have a good excuse to transfer 20000 paladins from the twilight forest line to the east of the Sassanian empire Department. "

"But I think that in the next 20 years, the kingdom of SUS will support al to build a port on the Bank of Lake Firth..."

"Impossible!"

Sylvia raised her eyebrows and asked, "do you know that the queen of novest is the youngest aunt of Queen eliano?"

Victor nodded thoughtfully and said, "I know. More than 700 years ago, the brilliant Knights lured and killed the direct blood of the emperor, crown prince and Archduke of the RAND empire. In order to renew the noble blood, the imperial royal family reached an alliance with the then sus royal family. Neo west only married the noble daughter with purple eyes as the queen."

"After the New Testament of light, the kingdom of SUS began to make friends with the Sassanian Empire and became a firm ally of the shining knights." Sylvia said: "For more than 300 years, the children of novest and the purple eyed queen have either died or died. No one can inherit the throne. On the contrary, the children born by the noble daughter of nahtigar and the emperor maintain the inheritance of the RAND empire. Nearly three purple eyed queens have not even given birth to novest's children, and the two sides only keep a nominal husband and wife. The ancient covenant has existed in name, suss The royal family refused to give up the throne of Queen of Rand Empire and did not hesitate to push the royal family's noble daughter into the fire pit... Don't you think it strange, dear? "

Victor said puzzled, "I don't understand it."

"That's what the shining Knights mean." Sylvia said faintly: "seeing that the general situation is over, nyovist has completely taken refuge in nahtigar. The Al family has always been the loyal dog of the Pope. The RAND royal family has become the secular spokesman of the Pope. The shining Knights hold the queen of nyovist, which can effectively curb the secular influence of the RAND royal family on the Three Kingdoms."

Victor frowned and said, "the Pope? Isn't the Pope elevated? Is it necessary for the shining knights to continue to target the RAND royal family?"

"Being elevated? If the clergy below the middle level hear this, do you think they will fight with you?" Sylvia glanced at Victor and said with a smile: "Yes, now every Pope is appointed by the Holy See, but as long as Enoch's children wear the Pope's crown, they are a strong man in the holy land. Do you think the Holy Spirit priest who even I should fear is willing to be a puppet? The Pope who is held high needs to be more careful. He has only the highest position in the eyes of the people and middle and low-level clergy."

Sylvia was silent for a moment, her eyes became deep and unpredictable, and said calmly and firmly: "no one wants the Pope to regain theocracy, and no one will help al build the port. The Lords of the Three Kingdoms will not allow neovester to make a comeback."

"The old Marquis of SoLIM understands the truth. The reason why he put forward the impossible proposal is to make the last effort for the family. Only in this way can he put down everything and concentrate on the gold field. Only you fool can stand on the opposite side of everyone."

Sylvia said solemnly, "I don't care what you think, I don't want to have anything to do with neowest. Unless he is willing to give up the throne and completely end the inheritance of the RAND empire."

Victor said, "I see."

Knowing that doesn't mean Victor gives up his plan to build a port on Lake Firth, and building a port on Lake Firth doesn't have to have political ties with neowest.

Victor plans to hand over the North-South trade of the golden regiment to Sophia. He will concentrate on the business route from the east to the West. The Jinshui River channel is of great significance to the golden regiment. As for the ownership and use right of the port, it can be divided by the church Privy Council.

Victor believed that Pope Clement would be happy to support a neutral organization close to the Privy Council. Because the Privy Council's foothold is an impartial neutral position. The gold regiment itself belongs to a neutral trade armed group. As long as the Privy Council is willing to endorse the gold regiment, many problems can be solved.

The priest does not interfere with the secular world... This commandment is great!

Of course, it's not time for a showdown with Sylvia, and Victor can only hold his stomach.

"Fortunately, enbiser is smart enough to cover it up for you with Gillian." Sylvia sighed and said with a smile, "otherwise, you will kill me."

"Then why do you support my proposal?" Asked Victor unconvinced.

Sylvia smiled narrowly, looked wronged and said, "you didn't elaborate on the reason at that time. I thought you really deliberately embarrassed Williams for Gillian's marriage. I supported your decision without asking, not to please my love?"

Victor had a bad feeling and asked, "what happened to Gillian's marriage? Isn't her marriage partner count Weigel Auguste?"

"Kite castle and chebman didn't reach a formal engagement. Everything is possible." Sylvia shook her head and said with a smile, "I heard that kite Castle intends to exchange children with chebman."

For silver Knights like Gillian, exchanging children is tantamount to cultivating their close spouse. It is no wonder that chebman and his wife did not bring their heirs to the king's coronation ceremony. They were worried that Gillian would ask Victor for help and destroy the blood marriage between the family and the royal family.

Victor was about to stand up in anger when a flawless white slender hand rested on the back of his hand. Sylvia's warm eyes calmed him down gradually.

"You should understand that Gillian always wants to get married. She can't be with you all the time." Sylvia said softly, "of course, she can maintain a family relationship with her husband and a close partnership with you. But now the situation has changed and the problem is with you."

Victor asked in a daze, "why?"

"August did not allow the copper city to have silver blood." Sylvia gazed into Victor's eyes and her lips opened: "I won't allow it!"

"The chebman family saw sorim's lesson. If they want to rule the copper city, they can't refuse Auguste's infiltration. Gillian, as the successor of the chebman family, must pay a price for it. Therefore, the exchange of children between kite castle and chebman is actually exchanging a little Auguste for your and Gillian's children in advance. If you don't have children in the next ten years , count chebman naturally wanted to pick a child from the family and return it to kite castle, and Gillian had to reproduce with her adult husband. "

Victor said with a straight face, "that means Gillian and I can only get along for a few more years?"

"You still have me, and I only have you." Sylvia said softly. She turned her eyes, smiled and said, "I absolutely support you turning Gillian around. Or I'll compensate you for trisley, ulena, odel and Katrina. How about it?"

"Can we not talk about it?" Said Victor angrily.

"Loneliness is the great enemy of high-level knights. Once the silver Knights alienate from the secular life, the more serious the erosion of the soul by the elemental sea. With the rapid improvement of strength, their life expectancy is becoming shorter. You have time to comfort other high-level female knights. Why do you turn a blind eye to my high-level female knights?" Sylvia pursed her red lips slightly and said discontentedly.

Victor moved in his heart and murmured, "ancient knights should have a way to resist the erosion of the soul by the element sea... Blue taro may be the main material of relevant potions, not only for Golden Knights."

Sylvia shook her head "In the age of the chosen one, the silver knights were not even qualified to reproduce. They were the main forces to carry out the city-state combat missions. They often accompanied the wizards and lived a dangerous and full life every day. Sophia inadvertently embarked on a similar path. The ancient silver knights had to attack the golden field, and they never considered their own life. Now the silver Knights have become green The source of copper blood, of course, the longer the life, the better. "

Victor secretly thought: the wizard is indeed consciously protecting the knight's blood. The Pope, representing mortals, is just the opposite... The inheritance of the mage association should be broken, but there is obviously the shadow of the alchemical Empire behind the masked brotherhood. What's the secret?

"If you tease me again, I'll eat you now!" Sylvia leaned into Victor's ear and breathed out.

Victor quickly took his hand off Sylvia's hip and shook it awkwardly.

As long as he was with Sylvia, he couldn't help taking advantage of her.

This is definitely a bad habit.

"Hum, don't you think it's too late." Sylvia put her arms around Victor's neck and said with a charming look.

Looking at the watery blue eyes and charming crystal red lips, Victor's heart jumped a few times. Just as the two were getting closer and closer, trisley, like a beautiful girl, broke into the bedroom and said faintly, "sorry to disturb your intimacy."

"It doesn't matter. We always welcome you to join us." Sylvia always likes to flirt with her guardian knight.

"I absolutely don't mean that!" Victor quickly raised his hand to show his attitude. Trisley has never been kind to him. He doesn't want to annoy Nicole's teacher.

Trisley rolled her eyes at Sylvia, stared coldly at Victor, and said, "we have some uninvited guests at our station in the outer city of brinor. They claim to be the guard of Randall's family and say that something important has been reported to Viscount Randall."

"Victor's subordinates? Why don't they go to the Marquis house and run to our station instead?" Sylvia asked with a frown.

Trisley looked at Victor with an unexpected expression and replied, "they won't say the specific situation. The family guards don't dare to embarrass Viscount Randall's people. In addition, they kidnapped an aristocrat. The aristocrat claimed to be Lord Eckert Wimbledon and asked to see Sophia."

Sylvia turned her eyes to victor and asked, "who's Eckert?"

"Lord Eckert is the general manager of the bucks business group in Dengshi. Sophia said he was missing for two months... I don't know the details." Victor shook his head in doubt, got up and said, "I'll see it first and explain it to you later."

"OK. I'll wait for you to come back."

Sylvia took the cloak, tied it for Victor herself, smiled and said, "trisley, you go with Victor and protect him closely, so that no assassin pretends to be the guard of Randall's family and tries to hurt my love."
