Chapter 430: Economic predation

　　What a battle broke the blood fort.
　　 What is ten to block a thousand.
　　 What a hundred rides break the city.
　　 What a thousand mile riding.
　　 What three thousand riders break one hundred thousand orcs.
　　 There are so many glorious stories for them, many people can come with their mouths open, and there is no way to distinguish the true from the false.
　　 Under the prestigious reputation, there are usually two situations, the name is difficult and the innocent scholar.
　　Broken mouth blood ride obviously belongs to the latter.
　　Because they are different from ordinary fame-fishing people, they are in the frontier all the year round. If they don't have their own uniqueness, they would have been crippled by the Odin orcs long ago, and they would not cooperate with you in acting.
　　Break mouth blood rides are unique, not only in their body size and well-trained, but also in their spirit and vision.
I don’t know if the overall situation of the Broken Blood Fortress is like this, or it was the intention of Grand Duke Cedric. None of the armor on the Broken Blood Cavalry he was accompanying was brand new, and it was covered with traces of repair, which would certainly affect them. Beautiful, but adds a bit of evil spirit out of thin air.
　　 Their armor was bloody. It was said that it was not this color, but because it was soaked with blood and could not be washed away, it turned into blood.
　　 As long as anyone with a bit of common sense knows, this is an error. After the blood dries up, it is not blood red, but black.
　　 This armor color makes them very eye-catching on the battlefield and easy to assemble. It also shows that they are super confident in their own strength. Because of their prominent appearance, it also makes them easier to become targets of fire.
　　 But the lingering smell of blood on them is real.
　　 Just like a farmer who has been rolling in the land all the year round, there will be a smell of soil on the body. People who have been with wood all the year are soaked in the smell of wood. Only those who have been immersed in the fight all the year will have such a strong smell of death.
　　 They are like a group of wild beasts jumping into the herbivore group, incompatible with the peace and stability of the royal family Valesta.
　　 Fortunately, they are a group of guardians, not killers, otherwise the entire Valesta will be dragged by them into blood purgatory.
　　 Sean did not see Grand Duke Cedric the first time.
　　 There is no way, Valesta is a city very particular about qualifications.
　　 Although he has the power of the Grand Duke, he does not have the name of the Grand Duke. Even if he has a close relationship with the regent Princess Sophie Liya, he still cannot change the fact that he is just a baron.
　　 Regent Princess Sophie Liya is still in this position, so she has to abide by the rules of the game. For some high-standard public banquets, Sean is not eligible to participate for the time being, at least as a baron.
　　 This is why Sean asked the Regent Princess Sophie Liya for hereditary earl.
　　 To some extent, this identity can be regarded as an admission ticket, even if you know it is a false name, it really won't work without it.
This matter is already in operation, and has not encountered any obstacles so far. Rotten bureaucracies like the Heraldry Institute should not have too much expectations for his efficiency. It is normal to delay for a year and a half, even if it is forever. This time, Ye Junling was not stingy, and he had to go through the normal process for several months.
It’s not that they were embarrassed deliberately, but they searched the data to see if they could link Sean to a noble lineage in history. Only in this way, all the famous sayings can be made smooth and in compliance with the rules and procedures. Well!
　　 There is really nothing, and it does not prevent them from making one. This is not the first time they did it, nor the last time they did it.
　　 Sean is not at all worried about whether he can see Grand Duke Cedric.
　　Yu Shi, he has a close relationship with Sophie Liya. The other party is her close relative. She may not be open to outsiders, but she may not hide her family.
Yu Gong, Grand Duke Cedric is an indirect ally, and many good things led by the Yongye Army flowed to the blood fortress through the hands of the regent princess. Currently known are the flying eagle messenger, the beast, the bladed cart and Black powder.
　　 Anyone with a strategic vision can see the value hidden in it, let alone Grand Duke Cedric, the world-renowned super commander.
　　 Sean had expected the Cedric Grand Guild to value himself, but he did not expect it to be so important.
　　 Regent Princess Sophia Liya just ended the large-scale reception party for Grand Duke Cedric, and he appeared with Sophia Liya in Sean’s private estate.
　　 After meeting, Grand Duke Cedric didn't say a word, and went around Sean, watching him with a critical look.
　　 Xiao En screamed horribly in his heart. The other party was obviously not looking at himself with the eyes of looking at allies, but with looking at his niece.
　　 Compared with the former, this situation will be more difficult.
　　 As expected, Sophie Liya, who was following Grand Duke Cedric, was winking at Sean, apparently implying that his grandfather knew about the relationship between the two of them.
　　In the eyes of all parents and relatives, their children are unique treasures in this world. To marry or marry them, you must have the matching abilities, regardless of whether their children are as good and beautiful as they think.
　　 Grand Duke Cedric is not immune.
　　 Although the two are separated from each other, when it comes to intimacy, they are better than ordinary father and daughter, because Grand Duke Cedric poured all the guilt and debts for his daughter on Sophilia.
However, Grand Duke Cedric’s way of loving children is obviously different from that of ordinary parents. He has stricter requirements on his close relatives. It is this strict requirement that shapes Sophia Liya’s character of being soft outside and strong inside. , Provoked the backbone of the Lancelot royal family at a critical moment.
　　 Sophie Liya's performance in recent years has made Grand Duke Cedric extremely satisfied. She should be regarded as the most outstanding one of her immediate family members.
　　 The biggest regret is probably her daughter, otherwise she is definitely a qualified king of the Lancelot royal family. With her own assistance, she will lead the Lancelot royal family and the Strache family to a new glory.
　　 Sophie Liya's outstanding performance on the throne, coupled with the unwritten rules of Lancelot's royal family, made many people ignore her marital problems, including her grandfather Cedric.
　　 When he suddenly learned that his precious granddaughter was privately set for life, or was the leader of a new power who had just emerged from the mountains, he knew what it was like.
　　 He admitted that before that, he was very optimistic about this little guy who started up empty-handed, took advantage of countless opportunities, kept moving, and created his own little guy.
　　 He also admitted that the series of war weapons brought by the other party made him salivate, and to a large extent, it will subvert the future war pattern.
　　 But this does not mean that this guy has the qualifications to marry the treasure in his palm.
　　 Fortunately, the other party is at least not as bad as the legend.
　　Because the closer you are to Valesta, the more messy news about Sean, it all reaches Duke Cedric's ears.
　　What upstart?
　　 What survivor?
　　What greedy person?
　　 What scumbag?
　　 These are all pretty good.
　　 Rumors and news are flying all over the world, such as climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, the face of the regent princess and the little white face.
　　 Even though Grand Duke Cedric didn't want to believe these messy things, he didn't think that the little Sophie Liya he had trained by himself would degenerate into this way.
　　 But it can't hold up all the gold, and care is messy.
　　 The mood will be affected somewhat.
　　 Although from the moment I saw the regent princess Sophie Liya, we can be sure that those rumors are only rumors, but the impression of Sean in my heart has been pulled to a very low position.
　　 The first glance that Shaun gave him was pretty good, at least the rumor of the little white face with a powdery face is self-defeating.
　　 Sean, who is nearly two meters tall and bulging with muscles, is definitely not compatible with that word.
The whole body is cleaned up and down, except for the facial contours that are slightly flat, and the skin and hair color are slightly different, and the others are not much different from the Byron nobles, at least not the smell of barbarians. .
　　 It should be the military demeanor shown by Sean between sitting and lying down that Grand Duke Cedric really had a good impression. This is a manifestation of self-discipline.
　　If a person can strictly demand oneself in life, then the character of this person will not be too bad.
　　 While Grand Duke Cedric was evaluating Sean, Sean was also looking at the kingdom knight of the Byron Alliance.
　　 The other party not only exudes an awe-inspiring aura, even his appearance is very much in line with Sean's imagination of a knight. He is tall and can easily win people's trust in the national character face. He is unsmiling, and his eyes are flat but not harsh.
　　 Based on this look alone, even without the name of the Duke and the outstanding record in the past, it is easy to win the trust of many people in a crisis.
　　 Compared with him, the military aura on Sean is only half-hearted. The aura from Grand Duke Cedric has been integrated into his bones, and every word and deed has reached this strong aura.
　　 is quite recognizable.
　　He and the army he leads should be a model for soldiers in this world.
"I've seen the Grand Duke, I should be the one to meet you. Let the Grand Duke come to the door in person. I really feel sorry." Sean broke the deadlock first, his tone was neither overbearing nor overbearing. To deal with such a person, if you behave too humble, you are against it. Easy to be looked down upon by the other party.
　　 "You want to marry my niece?" Grand Duke Cedric ignored Sean's courtesy at all, looking at him with piercing eyes.
　　 The opponent's sword light speed was faster than Sean had imagined, and he went straight to the subject as soon as he got started.
　　 Xiao En nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, it's not a question of wanting to marry, but I am married."
　　 "Haha...what a big tone." Although Grand Duke Cedric was laughing, his eyes were cold, "Why are you?"
"It took me only thirteen years to unify the Andean people and lead them out of the mountains. With the 100,000 elite army in my hand, with the land area we now own, it is no less than any military leader. The trade tax revenue of the Lancelot royal territory led by the Eternal Night Army has already accounted for one-third of the total tax revenue of the Lancelot royal family." With a wave of his hand, Sean shook off his proud achievements. come out.
　　 This kind of time, especially when facing people like Grand Duke Cedric, is not the time to hide and play with self-effacement.
　　 "That's it?" Grand Duke Cedric asked blankly.
"This is just an achievement made in the past. I have just passed the eighth of this year. Whether it is my life or my territory, I am in a just starting state. I can't guarantee whether I can continue to create brilliance and miracles in the future, but at least there are Isn't this possible? Your Excellency!" Xiao En asked with a smile, "Isn't the future worth looking forward to in this world? I think that you should not use the past to measure a person, but the future. "
　　 "A good measure of a person is not the past, but the future." Grand Duke Cedric's eyes lit up, and Sean's unusual argument is indeed somewhat different.
　　 Xiao En solemnly said: "But in my opinion, these are not the most important."
　　 "Oh?" Grand Duke Cedric said with an even more interested expression, "What do you think is the most important?"
"The most important thing is that when His Royal Highness comes to my side, there will be a wider space to give full play to her strengths. I would like to work with her to build our territory and create our own brilliance." Xiao En said sincerely. Tao.
　　 did not impress, Grand Duke Cedric did not know for the time being, at least one side of the regent princess Sophie Liya had heard the beautiful eyes flashing.
　　 For her, this is the most beautiful love story in the world.
　　 "It sounds beautiful, but it's far from enough." Grand Duke Cedric shook his head.
　　 Xiao En was taken aback, and said sincerely: "I don't understand the meaning of the Lord, please enlighten me."
Archduke Cedric’s point of view is also not taking the usual path. "I have done a little research on your rise and development. Let alone the luck in it, this is also part of your strength. Your rapid development, to some extent, The above is based on plunder.
　　 In the early days, you took advantage of the slave rebels led by the Manyu Army to plunder the wealth of the Manyu Army as a nutrient for your growth.
　　In the middle of the year, you used the Jacob River from the plains of Asia Minor to plunder a large amount of wealth from Valesta to strengthen yourself.
　　 is now adopted, the crocodile tribe natives who eat the desperate swamp and the wealth squeezed from the Kingsley family are used as the driving force for development.
　　Although the methods you use are brilliant, you still cannot change the nature of plunder.
　　 Next, who are you going to plunder and maintain your rapid development?
　　 How can you maintain the current rapid development when you have nothing to plunder? "
　　 Sean condensed his eyes, straightened his waist uncontrollably, and re-examined the kingdom knight.
　　 The other party’s analysis, to a certain extent, has approached the essence of Yongyejun’s rapid development.
　　 Many people are amazed by the many brilliance and development speed created by Yongye Army Leader, but they are not clear about the reason why they can always maintain high-speed development.
　　 From an economic point of view, this is what Grand Duke Cedric just said-plunder.
　　 Through commerce and trade, plunder the wealth of the outside world for self-fertilization.
　　 This wealth is not limited to gold and silver jewelry, but also various resources and labor.
　　 Since all those who have economic and trade relations with the Yongye Army leader, to some extent, they are all working for the Yongye Army leader.
　　 At this point, the Regent Princess Sophie Liya was not as thorough as Grand Duke Cedric.
　　 Trees grow old into spirits, and people grow old into monsters.
　　 This kind of old guy who is old enough to live ~ EbookFREE.me~ is too knowledgeable and cannot be measured by common sense.
Now that he has cut the surface and looked directly at the essence, Xiao En no longer hides it, and replied straightforwardly: "This time, we have been eating and supporting the Swamp of Despair. It is estimated that there will be no expansion in the next few years. At least there will be no more on the territory, and the main energy should be transferred to construction. Your Excellency is right. Commercial plundering is one of the fundamental reasons for our rapid development in the past, but it will never become the core of our future development. Development is fundamental.
　　We will never give up this method. In a short time, the business center will still be on the Jacob River, but the future focus is not on this. Our preliminary plan is in two aspects. "
"Which two aspects?" It was not Grand Duke Cedric who asked this time, but Sophie Liya, the regent. She was not annoyed by Grand Duke Cedric's revelation that the Yongye Army commanded the business looting of her territory. .
　　 In the game, she can see some real things more clearly than Grand Duke Cedric.
Although it’s true that the Yongye Army leader robbed a lot of wealth from the royal land of Lancelot, they also brought a lot of good things that they did not have before-black powder, bladed carts and other weapons of war, not to mention, such as New tools such as waterwheels, water saws, water mills, etc. are being brought up by the Yongyejun tie.
The most important thing is that the entry of the Yongye Army has revitalized the economy of the royal territory of Lancelot, using a large number of luxury goods to scavenge wealth from the hands of the nobles, some of which were taken away by the Yongye Army, and some The Yongye Army led the backhand to the leaders who worked for them.
