Chapter 133： Give them some face

?The study room of King St. Martin's Palace. 35xs

At this time, Arthur was focusing on the follow-up matters of the three kingdoms.

To tell the truth, the direct monetary gains from the three kingdoms were not much, and King Oga’s treasury had already been wiped out by war indemnities.

The Hall Kingdom and Bell Kingdom are also well-known poor countries. This war also emptied the national treasury for the purchase of arms!

But there are not many other gains. The Oga Kingdom was originally a well-known supplier of fabric materials. After obtaining this kingdom, the cost of Saint Martin's fabric has dropped a lot!

The Hall and Bell Kingdoms are also famous grain-producing countries. With the territory of these two kingdoms, there is no need to worry about food issues in the expansion of the Kingdom of Saint Martin.

The biggest gain was the 330,000 people obtained from the Oga Kingdom and the 570,000 people obtained from the Hall Kingdom and Bell Kingdom.

There are many benefits brought about by so many people. The increase in labor force, stimulating domestic demand, and abundant military resources are all benefits brought by the population.

However, the first thing to be solved is that this is the development and population settlement of the islands where the three kingdoms are located.

These will take a long time. Fortunately for the Oga Kingdom, the war is not long, the scope of the war is not large, the loss is relatively small, it also has a certain amount of infrastructure, it quickly developed, and the population is relatively easy to settle.

But the Kingdom of Hall and Bell is more troublesome, because there are too many young people who have died. Most of the people left on the island are women, and it is a famous poor country without basic facilities. If you want to develop, it will take a long time. time.

However, these are the troubles of happiness. Although the troubles take a long time, as long as it develops, the strength of the Kingdom of Saint Martin will skyrocket more than twice!

"Boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Arthur said without lifting his head.

"Your Majesty!" Brian walked in and said respectfully.

"Well, what's the matter?" Arthur put down the file in his hand and asked, looking up.

"There is news from the world government, which strongly condemns and warns us about our marriage with the Charlotte family! And because we occupy the Oga Kingdom, we will also pay the heavenly gold of the Oga Kingdom in the future! Brian said solemnly.

"Oh!?" Upon hearing this, Arthur frowned slightly.

Brian pondered for a moment and said, "But according to the news from my "friends" I made in the world government last year, it is because the kingdom is too aggressive, develops too fast, and there are many restless people. The behavior made the five adults of the world government feel threatened!"

"But considering that we are paying very positively in the heavenly gold, we are only going to limit the development of our kingdom. If we show restlessness in the future, then the world government will take action!"

Brian's so-called friends are some of the small officials of the world government that he paid for the world government last year when he went to the world government to complete the procedures and pay the heavenly gold.

Although the status of these small officials is not high, the news is quite flexible!

Their existence is also tacitly approved by the world government, and their main role is to clearly convey the true meaning of the world government.

Just like this time, the world government wants to restrict and warn the Kingdom of Saint Martin, but how can they say so directly?

If you say it directly, will the world government be shameless?

At this time, these small officials have played a role, they can clearly convey the meaning of the world government!

Arthur thought for a while, and understood what the world government meant.

It’s probably because you’ve done too much recently. We’ve noticed you, but because of your positive contribution to the heavenly payment, I’ll give you a chance. I hope you can converge a little bit. If you don’t, then hehe. !

"Boom!"

At this time, the door was knocked again!

"Come in!"

Secretary of Commerce Hughes walked in solemnly!

"Your Majesty!" Hughes said respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Arthur asked.

"Your Majesty, the few important supplies ordered by our kingdom from other places were all intercepted by the navy for various reasons while transporting over! In addition, the main navigation route to Bloodport Town was arrested by the navy. The name of the thief was sealed off, and now, the merchants in Xihai can no longer come to Blood Harbor Town." Hughes said with a heavy face.

"Have you come so soon?" Arthur frowned slightly.

The world government really hit its weak underbelly with one blow. Why can Saint Martin develop so fast?

A large part of this is due to the huge revenue brought by Blood Harbor Town!

With the continuous blood supply of Bloodport Town, Saint Martin can exchange a lot of money for the speed of development. Once the waterway of Bloodport Town is broken, in addition to the slower development speed, there will be many follow-up problems.

Without the delivery channel of Blood Harbor Town, all kinds of things produced by St. Martin will be piled up there and cannot be sold. If the things cannot be sold, there will be no money to pay the workers. If the workers have no wages, how can they survive? ?

If the workers can’t survive, the kingdom will start to be in chaos. Once the kingdom is in chaos, it will not only fail to develop, it may even regress, and then the trouble will be big!

"En!?" After hearing these words, Hughes looked at Arthur in a bit of surprise, a little unclear.

Seeing Hughes' doubts, Brian attached him to his ear and explained the reason in a low voice, and Hughes suddenly realized!

He thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, do you want the factory owners to stop production first, otherwise it will be more troublesome if the goods pile up!"

Arthur pondered for a moment and said, "Well, Brian, continue to check with those officials and friends for the latest news, and Hughes, don't worry, let the factory owners continue to produce, and I will find a way to deal with the accumulated goods. of!"

"Okay, Your Majesty!" Hughes and Brian nodded.

"Well, you go down first!" Arthur waved his hand and said.

"Yes!" After the two agreed, they slowly exited the room!

As soon as the two left, Arthur fell into deep thought.

In fact, he had anticipated the practice of the world government~www.novelhall.com~, if the Kingdom of Saint Martin was in the new world, the world government would not care how you expand, but in their back garden, how could it be possible? Sit back and watch?

But then again.

Arthur didn't care too much!

Now, he has swallowed the three kingdoms of Oga, Hall, and Bell, and these three kingdoms alone will take a long time to digest.

These include resettling the population, building factories, building roads, recruiting more workers and so on. If you want to do it thoroughly, then the next five years will be spent on this!

Regardless of whether the world government suppresses it or not, it will be difficult for Saint Martin to have time to expand its territory in the past five years!

Moreover, the navy responsible for blockade of Bloodport Town is naturally the naval branch of the Kingdom of Saint Martin that is closest to the Kingdom of Saint Martin. This branch, as long as he wants, a phone call, the blockade can be opened at any time!

It's just that he doesn't want to fall out with the world government now, so he gives them some face and lets them blockade for a period of time. When that time comes Brian can spend some money on activities of the world government, and the blockade will be lifted.

In addition, he sent people from the Ministry of Engineering to dig the red soil continent a long time ago. Judging from the report of the Ministry of Engineering, the digging is almost done, only the last point is left. After a while, Saint Martin will have a direct train to the South China Sea.

At that time, he can repair the plank road in secret, change the vest, open a sub-base in the South China Sea, and he can sell the accumulated goods in the South China Sea!

"call---"

After thinking for a long time, Arthur sighed deeply, put all these things aside, and then proceeded to process the documents.
