Chapter 820: On the Journey

Lorgar stared at the circle on the ground for a while, "But if you want to make it circulate, you need to keep investing money... Generally speaking, most of it is still out of the hands of the chief."

"This is the key point... and it took me a long time to understand. This is also the biggest difference between him and other nobles." Andrea drew another large circle, including all the small circles, " From the very beginning, he regarded the entire Graycastle as his territory, so no matter which city this floating wealth is allocated to, it belongs to him."

"But he's the king, isn't it right to think so?"

"When Kuangyan was still the head of the clan, could your orders be governed by those tribes in the Yinchuan Oasis?" Andrea asked, "Even Iron Sand City is not in the hands of the Kuangyan clan. For the four kingdoms As far as the situation is concerned, the situation is almost the same, enfeoffing nobles is equivalent to tribal leaders, they neither allow outsiders to intervene in the affairs of the territory, nor will they regard other people's fiefdoms as their own homes."

"..." Lorgar was silent for a while, "This is not something that can be decided by different opinions."

"That's right, you are much smarter than Ashes, try to spend as little time with her as possible in the future, it will affect your ability to think." Andrea patted her on the shoulder, "This requires the dual assistance of strength and policy, The former discouraged the enfeoffed nobles, while the latter allowed the power to be concentrated in the hands of the king—this is definitely a pioneering work. The difficulty is that His Majesty Roland not only had such an idea, but also moved closer to it from the very beginning. After staying in Neverwinter for a long time, I feel that such details are countless."

"It's really a bit...complicated." Lorgar rubbed his head, and at the same time, he was secretly surprised. He didn't expect this blond woman who seemed to reject people thousands of miles away, to answer such questions so carefully. Could it be that she always wanted to share these discoveries with others, but she always suffered from the fact that there was no one to tell.

"Of course, politics is ten thousand times more complicated than fighting," Andrea said triumphantly, "and this is just one of them, the other is that what he has gained is not only the ever-growing wealth, but also——you. "

"us?"

"The reason is much simpler. Migrating sand people get food and housing through work, and they become part of this cycle. You will gradually get used to this kind of life, and use your salary in exchange for more comfortable enjoyment items, and then you will no longer be able to benefit from it. Break away. In the end, you will become Graycastle people, not a part of it in name, but its real subjects."

Andrea stuck the wooden stick into the ground, clapped her hands and stood up, "This process is certain. The oasis is shrinking, and many tribes are facing threats to their survival. Now they can survive without fighting each other." The method, relocation is a matter of time. And there is still a lot of land that has been abandoned due to the war in the southern border, instead of leaving it vacant, it is better to hand it over to the sand people to reclaim it-this is also producing wealth for him. "

She paused at this point, "Now do you understand? If you adopt this method, after twenty years His Majesty Roland will not only get the black water he wants, the wealth that will grow and circulate, and most of the Mojin in the extreme south." People—compared with buying a gun, do you still think the former is more cost-effective?"

Lorgar didn't answer, and she suddenly felt that something was touched in her heart. Compared with the question itself, she cares more about the attitude of the other party - the reason why Andrea didn't hide it is probably not because she trusts herself, but because even if she knows it, it doesn't matter, whether she accepts it or not, the result cannot be changed , just like a waterfall rushing down from a cliff, its momentum is unstoppable.

Majestic, forceful, unstoppable... Can integrate the situation, people's heart and strength into one, and consider all these to such a far-reaching level, the moves used must be inevitable. The person who sees through this layout alone is worthy of admiration, not to mention the instigator. If the Great Chief was born in Iron Sand City, he must be an outstanding warrior.

Maybe that's what she should be working on.

"Thank you for your guidance, I feel that my martial arts have taken another step forward!" Lorgar clenched his fists and said.

"As long as you can understand - what? Wait, you said martial arts?"

"Yes, I'm going to practice now, let me say goodbye first," she said, and couldn't wait to run towards the small hill behind her—there was an open gravel field, which was perfect for honing her skills.

"Sure enough, the same as Ashes... are both idiots."

After running a hundred paces, the wolf girl heard Andrea talking to herself in a low voice, but in the word "stupid", there was no sense of indifference at the beginning.

A week later, Lorgar got the news from Echo that the Wild Flame Clan officially decided to move to the southern border, and after the negotiation between the two parties, his father agreed to a plan to move in three phases to reduce the burden on Graycastle, and the allocated land would be It is the part where Bishui Bay connects with the port, and it is also the most fertile seaport in the town.

The entire migration process will last for more than a year, and the first batch of people is expected to arrive in half a month. In order to resettle the former clan leader, Princess Osha, who usually misses Neverwinter the most, decided to extend her stay in Port of Clear Water. time. This application was approved by the chief, but Ashes, Andrea, and Hummingbird will still set off on time and return to the west on the "Roland".

As for whether Lorgar would go ahead with the witch, or stay here and wait to join the clan, Echo gave her the right to choose.

The wolf girl did not hesitate for too long, and chose to set off with Ashes.

She believes that even if she is not here, her father and elder brother can handle the affairs between the clans-the southern border is no longer a place that needs to rely on force and duelists to win the chance of survival, if the small clans can fill their stomachs, let alone mad Yan people. What's more, she has already given up the position of patriarch, and if they meet again in a short period of time, it will be easy for them to feel estranged. Since they have to leave sooner or later, it is better to leave early.

In addition, the news about Neverwinter and the Witch Union that Ashes and Andrea learned made her look forward to the West Territory, whether it was the famous battle witches on the combat power list, or those hidden in the blood mist in the wilderness The powerful enemies, even the great chief who has no power to restrain a chicken (inquired from Ashes), but has a unique meaning of martial arts, are the reasons for her to leave early.

The next day, Echo smiled and sent them aboard the big steel ship.

Standing on the deck, Lorgar suddenly felt that those seemingly generous stone boats were nothing. This metal-cast boat stood firmly beside the river, and the material used for the hull alone probably surpassed that of the Mojin clan. The sum of weapons and armor used. With complicated emotions, she held the railing with both hands, lowered her furry ears, and nodded goodbye to Echo.

With the sound of the whistle, the Roland, carrying the three princesses of the mad flame, slowly sailed towards the west.
