Chapter 432: Plan confluence

"Your Excellency has taken up too much energy by the military. It is normal to have no time to think about these issues." Sean turned his head and flattered. "Business is based on the stalemate and equal dialogue between the two sides. If not for these years, East and West Odin The empire has been suppressed by your Excellency the Grand Duke. The proposal just now is equivalent to not saying that rashly opening border exchanges will only cause trouble for yourself."
　　 This flattery is absolutely high-level, not only for the other party's face, but also praised the other party's most proud achievement in these years.
Ever since entering the door, Grand Duke Cedric, who has been straining his face, now has a much softer facial lines, nodded and said: "This is indeed the truth, the Odin orcs are born with power. If they are not subdued, they are I won’t do business with you obediently. After all, why bother to trade things that I can grab? That is, in recent years, the balance between the two Odin empires has been broken. In order to compete for the grassland, the two sides fight for life, not so. Pay more attention to us, otherwise we won't have so many leisurely days, let alone this kind of thinking."
　　 Grand Duke Cedric took two steps back and forth, and then said: "Now is an excellent opportunity to try to open a part of the border and trade with the small and medium tribes that were difficult in those days. What do you think?"
　　 The last sentence of Grand Duke Cedric was not to ask Sean, but to the regent Princess Sophie Liya.
　　 This matter did not have the support of my niece, but there was no way to implement it, because Broken Blood Castle lacked the support of basic commodities, and at that time it was impossible to take some of the commodities from Sophia’s hands as initial trade start-up funds.
The Princess Regent nodded without hesitation and said: "I agree with this matter. We have been in a stalemate with the Odin orcs for so many years. It is time to change to a different mode of war. However, if we are a trader, we are not tied together. Baron Grace’s opponent, since you started, tell me, do you have any good ideas?"
　　 "I don't have any mature ideas for the time being. I can only think of what is said. If it is useful, you will consider it and ignore the useless." Xiao En explained in advance.
"I will be impassioned for a while, mother-in-law again, just now you were about to point to your nose and scold me. I didn't do anything to you. Can I still eat you because you said something wrong?" Grand Duke Cedric He glared at Sean, apparently he liked the style that Sean had said and said before.
"I think about it a lot." Shaun laughed and said quickly, "There are only two ways to trade with the Odin orcs. One is to bring goods into the Odin prairie and do business. This way we The advantages and disadvantages of the one being used are very obvious.
The risk factor is too high, and the entire caravan disappears on the vast prairie at every turn. It takes a long time. A caravan can take a turn for as little as half a year or as long as a year or two. The benefits will shrink a lot. The advantage is: You can bring intelligence personnel in and out to understand the conditions of the Odin prairie and those tribes.
The second way is to choose a fixed location on the border between the two sides, set up a trade market, and use a large amount of scarce materials on the prairie to attract those Odin orc tribes to take the initiative to send it to the door. The benefits of this greatly reduce the risk index. Even if there are insatiable tribes who want to attack the trade market, they still have enough geographical and personnel advantages to take the opportunity to eat the other side.
The disadvantage of 　　 is that it can only wait passively for the other party to send it to the door, which takes a long time, especially in the early stage. It is not easy to open the market. Those Odin orc tribes are worried that this is a trap and dare not try.
My suggestion is to do a two-pronged approach, while establishing the border trade market, while sending caravans to go deep into the Odin prairie business. It does not need to go too deep. The main purpose is to promote the border trade market and attract those Odin orc tribes to send them to the door and wait for establishment. After stabilizing the trade relationship, you can sit back and enjoy the success. Not only will there be a large number of Odin orc tribes coming, businessmen from the Byron Alliance will also take the initiative to flock there when they see the benefits. "
"The method you just mentioned is indeed a good method if it is used in peacetime, but it is not available now. So, the caravans that have emerged in the Odin Prairie in recent years are all yours. Led by the night army?" Grand Duke Cedric did not let off the information contained in Sean's words.
　　 "That's right." Sean nodded openly and admitted.
　　 There must be the eyes and ears of Grand Duke Cedric on the Odin prairie. The momentum that Yong Yejun has made here in the past two years is not small, it is impossible to hide from him, and there is no need to conceal it.
　　 "I advise you to withdraw them from the prairie as soon as possible. In the next few years, this place will be extremely chaotic. If you are not careful, you will be dead." Grand Duke Cedric warned.
　　 Sean narrowed his eyes and said with a solemn expression: "The Western Odin Empire is ready to launch a full-scale war against the East Odin Empire?"
"It seems that you have a lot of information about the orcs of Odin in your hands." Grand Duke Cedric took the initiative to sell, "The Western Odin Empire has been preparing for this for many years, and now it is the most chaotic time in the East Odin Empire. If it’s me, I will not let go of this great opportunity."
"Thank you for your information. We will adjust our deployment on the Odin Prairie as soon as possible." Xiao En said sincerely and sincerely. Although the Western Odin Empire's military operations were such a big one, they could not hide from the eyes of the interested people, but only received news. Sooner or later, but if he can get news one minute earlier, he can make contingency deployment one minute earlier, reducing the loss by one more point. He is waiting for this news here.
"I should remind you both in public and in private." Grand Duke Cedric waved his hand. "What's more, I still ask you now, and then talk about how this border trade should be carried out if this condition is substituted into it. ?"
"Everything has two sides. The big situation is in turbulence. It is no exception. The two Odin empires of the East and the West are fighting. The main force should be the large tribes. Those small and medium tribes are the rats in the cracks. Life will be even more sad. Reduced to cannon fodder, in order to survive, they will try their best to avoid the main battlefield. They have only two options.
Either try to go north or lean toward the south. The north is a frozen wasteland. It is more difficult for them to survive there. It is estimated that there will be more tribes going south. So many tribes are crowded in small areas, and all kinds of living materials will It is even more scarce. If the border exchange is opened at this time, it will be easier to open up the situation. If it is me, I will definitely try it. Anyway, there will be no loss, will it? "Sean asked with a smile.
　　 Deeper things, Sean didn't guess without authorization, he needed to know it, so Sophie Liya would naturally tell herself that there was no need to play tricks in front of an old fox.
　　 "Very good! Very good! Very good!" Grand Duke Cedric patted Sean on the shoulder with satisfaction.
　　 I just don’t know whether he’s talking about Sean’s idea for Broken Blood Castle, or as his niece.
　　 Sean wiped a cold sweat in his heart. After all this, Grand Duke Cedric's attitude of interrogating prisoners at the beginning was naturally unable to continue, and it was regarded as letting him pass the test.
　　 "If your Excellency really wants to open up border trade, I still have a little bit to help." Sean began to carefully show his fangs.
　　 "Which aspect?" Grand Duke Cedric asked.
　　 Sean’s proposal did scratch his itch. There were two purposes for his trip.
　　 One is the future marriage between the Lancelot royal family and the Strache family.
　　The other is the military expenditures of the Broken Blood Fort, and at the same time more munitions are raised to prepare for the turbulent situation on the Odin Prairie.
　　At the military meeting in the Broken Blood Castle, Grand Duke Cedric said that he was full of pride, as if he had gone out in person. The lord and nobles obediently bowed their heads and gave up the military supplies they needed.
　　 Only Duke Cedric knows how difficult this is.
　　 This is different from the battlefield, the enemy is placed in the open, he only needs to swing a knife to slash it.
　　Those lord and nobles are afraid of themselves and dare not to force him, but it is not easy to reach out and get something from their pockets.
　　 These nobles and nobles have no simple ones, they have already honed a set of ways to deal with him, and when they met him for the first time, most of them were crying.
I’m not crying poorly, or I’m telling the Cedric how many disasters have been in my own territory in the past year. It’s either floods or droughts, and plagues are rampant. I can’t open the pot anymore, let alone support the blood fort. Up.
　　 In order to act realistically, some of them used bad food and moldy bread at the banquet hosted by Cedric.
　　 When Grand Duke Cedric left, he dryly squeezed out the poor military supplies and food, and then stuffed a bunch of worthless guilt tears.
　　 Grand Duke Cedric knows that the other party is acting, but he has nothing to do. He can't lead his troops to break through the other party's warehouse to verify whether there is food in it, right?
　　 Grand Duke Cedric couldn’t do this no matter how overbearing he was.
　　Because of doing so, the nature will be completely changed, and the nobles will be treated as enemies in the future.
　　 But that way of sending beggars made Grand Duke Cedric nauseous.
　　 If there were other possibilities, he would never deal with these bastards.
　　 Now that Sean puts a brand new possibility in front of him, how not interested.
"I set up a chamber of commerce in Valesta. It is full of pure merchants, but limited by local security, they can't do business remotely. So we want to organize a mercenary certification agency to regularize mercenaries... …"
　　 Sean roughly described the mercenary idea he had proposed to the presidents of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce to Grand Duke Cedric and the regent Princess Sophilia.
　　 Obviously, Sean hit his idea on the retired soldier in Broken Blood Castle.
　　 The five presidents of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce unanimously agreed to Sean’s mercenary vision, and believed that it had great operability.
　　 But when it was implemented, there were many difficulties. It was not a rule-making problem, but the existing mercenary industry was too mixed. They did not have their own team. When they did it, they didn't have enough confidence.
　　The most important thing is to discipline the team. This is the core point.
　　 If there is not enough force to guarantee that they can hold accountable mercenaries who have misbehaving, the so-called mercenary system will be difficult to establish.
　　 So, so far, this plan is still on paper.
　　 If they can't figure out a way to open the situation in the future, they have to ask Yongye Army Leader to find a way in this regard.
　　 This is the last move. After all, Yong Ye Jun leader is now stretched out of his own forces and is unwilling to spend too much energy on it.
　　 The visit of Grand Duke Cedric gave Sean an opportunity.
　　 The retired soldiers of Broken Blood Fort, aren't they natural candidates for mercenaries?
　　 Although their combat effectiveness has dropped drastically due to their disability and age, they are still there. As long as the disability is not too serious, it will be no problem to deal with the little bandits and ordinary bandits.
　　The most important thing is that their quality is more secure than those mercenaries with unknown origins.
　　 Sean spared no effort to encourage Cedric to open the border exchange market, which naturally has his own interests.
　　 Yongye's army leader can't go around such a big circle to get money there, but the Valesta Chamber of Commerce can.
　　 If this line can be opened up by the opportunity, the Valesta Chamber of Commerce can really stand upright, even without the support of the Eternal Night Army leader, no one dares to move them.
　　 Because at that time their interests will be tied to the blood fortress.
　　 "Good, good, good!" Grand Duke Cedric said three good words.
　　 The feet are longer and the inches are shorter.
　　 Grand Duke Cedric is definitely a good hand at war, but he is an out-and-out layman in economics and commerce.
　　 Just now, Xiao En traded on the border. He said that the sky was falling. It really made him see a huge business opportunity. But he really did not have a good idea. For example, what is the most demanding material among the Odin orcs? The source of these materials? How to transport these materials? What is the shipping cost? How to price and so on?
　　 Don’t say it’s a good consideration, can he consider these are all questions.
　　 The retired soldiers of Broken Blood Fort are basically in this situation.
　　 Merchant is also a skill job. If no one leads the door and wants to hit the door from side to side, it is difficult to touch the doorway without enough capital to squander.
　　 As mentioned earlier, the reason why the Valesta Chamber of Commerce can snowball is because the leader of the Eternal Night makes full use of the descendants of the enemies of Ans.
　　 They are doing business themselves, only limited by their ability and scale. When they are at the bottom, they are engaged in the cheapest trade.
　　 But that is also a type of trade, and it is also the most challenging one, because they can't afford to lose, and it's harder to make money, and they have to figure it out.
　　 Waiting for the Yongye army leader to provide them with channels and goods, they can naturally take advantage of the situation and develop and grow at a terrifying speed.
　　 Without them, Yong Ye Junling would simply rely on some laymen without any business experience. Even with their intelligence and merchandise support, it would still be a question whether they could develop to this level.
　　 The retired soldiers of Broken Blood Fort, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com are out-and-out laymen.
　　 But when it comes to mercenaries dancing with guns, Grand Duke Cedric is good at it. It is a group of undisciplined soldiers. It is the easiest to organize them into shape and manage them with military methods.
　　 If the Valesta Chamber of Commerce serves as commercial support, and the retired soldiers of Broken Blood Fort serve as military support, border exchanges will no longer be empty talk.
After doing this, Sean felt completely confident in his heart and said to Cedric: "It seems that the Grand Duke lacks business talents, so let’s have some time. I will meet several members of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce. The leader introduced him to the Grand Duke and believes that they have their own unique insights into the border exchange."
"That's great." Grand Duke Cedric nodded again and again, "I will discuss this matter when I look back and study it carefully. I'm here on this trip, and there is one more thing that needs to be explained to you in advance, my youngest son. Arnold may have infiltrated your territory. I hope you can teach him a lesson after you find him, but don't hurt his life."
　　 "General Arnold went to the Yongye Army to lead?" This sudden news almost made Sean flash his waist, and countless alpacas rushed past in his heart.
　　 Arnold Strachey is not as famous as his father, Grand Duke Cedric, but as a handsome and three general in the blood fortress, he also has a name and a surname. The legend goes into and out of the Odin prairie like no one.
　　 In recent decades, among the many glorious achievements created by Broken Blood Cavalry with less than more, more than half came from his hands. He is the life idol of the three main chiefs of staff of the Evernight Army.
