Chapter 460: Border trade

The Principality of Florence is a country facing the sea. Their navy, in the vast ocean of the Southern Cross, is also one of the strongest troops.
But Waterman's territory was inland.
Of course, the Lord Earl certainly has his own interests in shipping, but naturally he cannot be compared with those of the aristocracy facing the sea in the Principality.
Fortunately, his territory was a large granary in the Principality of Florence. The terrain is flat and the land is fertile. Every large farm in Woye, thousands of miles away, can harvest a lot of food every harvest season.
It can be said that food is the sharpest weapon in Waterman's hands. Because of the food, he can always afford a large number of legions; because of the food, his right to speak in the Duchy of Florence is very important; because of the food, he can trade in Hindler through trade This desolate area captures a lot of benefits.
In fact, in the past years, the way of commercial trade between Waterman and Schindler was that he sold grain at a low price to Schindler, a land that lacked food, and cheap land trade. Purchase rare products such as minerals and magic materials.
In the course of this trade, Waterman is of course a big money earner. It is because of this interest that he became very interested in intervening in the affairs of the Schindler area.
This is how Im and the immigration barrier of Im are born. Im's presence allows him to import a lot of high-value minerals and magic materials.
But now, Dane aspires to unify Hindler and build a true central government. He certainly cannot allow this type of trade to continue, which is tantamount to the predatory trade of Hindler.
After this war, this trade situation was completely ended. Dane, who brought the wasteland back into his hands, had enough strength to re-establish new trade rules with Waterman and even the Principality of Florence.
Today, Dane is also a big man who can participate in rulemaking.
Of course, Count Waterman is still 'tempered'. The Count of Bulls, who cannot continue to hold huge benefits and has lost a lot of face, will naturally have no way to be happy.
But Dane believes that this grumpy cow will eventually succumb.
The reason is very simple. Dane can leave the grain that Count Waterman has brought. The two sides were in trouble, and Dane simply spent a little more money to buy Shire's grain from sea transport, or grain farther away, and didn't have to hang him on a tree.
But can Waterman's food not be sold to Dane? Of course, it is also possible. After all, food is hard currency and it is popular everywhere. But don't forget that, in addition to selling Hindrell, Waterman wants to sell food at a high price elsewhere, which is simply wishful thinking.
He would never be able to transport food to the depths of the Eastern Wasteland and sell it to orc tribes who may still be bartering or even having currency that may not even be there?
Except for Schindler, where can he import large quantities of metal minerals that can arm the army and develop the territory?
For Dane, it is beneficial to cooperate with Waterman. After all, the territories of the two sides are close to each other, which has opened up the barren land barriers. The trade volume between the two parties has increased, and they can communicate with each other. No cooperation, no big deal, he still does business with others.
But for Waterman, without Hindler, the overall economic vitality of his territory is likely to fall more than one grade.
Waterman's grumpy lasted for three months. In these three months, in fact, Waterman has been looking forward to the arrival of Dyne's envoy.
But he never waited.
Dean's mind is also very simple. Before the war starts, everything is good, and Waterman's temper will let him go. If you don't work hard, tame this bull, then it will be regarded as cooperation, and you will feel uneasy in the future.
In the three months after the end of the war, Waterman watched his income, and from the previous level, slammed a limit diving.
He carried it for three months and couldn't carry it.
Before Dane sent an ambassador, he chose to bow his head and sent a messenger to Dane in the midst of his internal struggle and the suffering of reality. He wanted to talk about reopening the border trade.
In this matter, Dane has always been prepared. Waterman wants to talk, and Dane intends to talk to him.
During the three-month freezing period of trade, the wasteland customs have not been abandoned. Major General Palan, who has just stabilized, was directly assigned by Dane to the Wasteland Customs and was responsible for the defense of this desert city. At the same time, Dane also instructed Palan to use the supply stations established during the war, from the Shawan Port to the wasteland customs, to turn these temporary military supply stations into long-term bases.
In this way, there are resupply points along the way from Shawan Port to the wasteland customs. For caravans and travelers, this is a major good news. At the same time, if the trade agreement with Waterman is better, Dane also plans to work with the earl to build a passage from the barren land to the 'Bull' city, and also build some supply points along the road to facilitate the caravan traffic. .
In fact, in all respects, Dane was ready to reopen the border trade, and he just had to wait for Waterman to lower his stubborn head.
Now, these preparations can finally be reopened.
I believe that ~ EbookFREE.me ~ border trade is reopened, and the two sides are already in an equal position, and we can work together to create better conditions for the bilateral trade activities. This border trade will certainly be more prosperous than in the past Will also bring more benefits to both parties.
In this matter, Dane actually takes it very seriously. After the Earl of the Bull led this big granary to him, his territory had another major source of food. It no longer needed to rely on maritime trade, as it did before, especially relying on the Shire.
Although he and the Shire are still in the honeymoon period, and the relationship between the two sides is also good, but the ghost knows whether the situation will change in the future? A mature politician needs multiple considerations, multi-handed preparation, and putting eggs in a basket is irresponsible.
In this sense, Dane even wanted to talk to Count Waterman himself. However, he now has another very important matter to deal with. There is really no time for this and he can only leave the negotiation to Virina for handling.
