"My dear, come and see."

Victor held Sylvia's slim waist, pointed to the animal skin map on the table and said: "The Kingdom of El is the political center of the human world and the largest distribution center for supplies. The tithe tax of the Eastern Alliance and the Kingdom of Borui is passed

The trade routes of the Kingdom of Sus converged on the El-Sasan Empire, and the tithes from the Wharton Prairie flowed into the El-Dodo Kingdom through the Nahuel Kingdom, while the tithes from the Kingdom of Dodo flowed through the trade routes of Gambis."

"Most of the tithes paid by the lords are retained by the bishops for local use. The total amount of materials shipped to Ayr is small and has more symbolic meaning. Therefore, cardinals and the Holy See in various places often entrust large business groups to transport tithes and

Relief supplies. It is impossible for the caravans of various families to travel to Ayr in vain for the church. They mainly focus on trade and transport supplies for the church. Over time, the King of Ayr has become the largest trading city in the human kingdom."

"If there is a port on the shores of Fes Lake in Ayr, the commodities and materials from our Centaurs Hills can go directly to the trade center through the Golden Water River Channel. During the Wind Season, the fleet will transport the purchased materials back to Rose Port. According to

According to my calculations, the transportation cost of shipping is only 20% of that of land transportation. Moreover, the fleets can travel freely, and there is no need to pay transit taxes to the lords along the way. This means that Centenary Hills can get rid of the exploitation of caravans and lords, and the profit from the sales of goods can be at least

Increased 5 times!”

"Honey, do you know what five times profit means?"

Victor let go of Sylvia, held the animal skin map with both hands, and said enthusiastically: "Randall's sales revenue in Yeliu City last year was 19,000 gold soles. After deducting various costs and labor, the net profit was not even

More than 2,000 gold soles. If the profit is doubled five times, it will be 10,000 gold soles..."

"Wait a minute." Sylvia widened her beautiful eyes and asked in surprise: "Enbiser told me that he earned 18,000 gold soles in Yehliu City and 54,000 gold soles in Jinshui City last year. Rand

Why do you only make so little money?"

Victor was stunned for a moment before reacting. Sylvia didn't know the difference between profit and income.

Most territories implement a self-sufficient agricultural economic model. The lords have no clear concept of trade profits and production costs. For example, in animal husbandry, cattle and sheep are sold as soon as they grow up. As for the feeding costs and sales costs, there is no need to consider them at all. Anyway,

The pasture in the territory is cut and grown, and the wages of hired labor are pitiful. Selling the remaining cattle and sheep is wealth, and those that rot in the hands are called losses.

"My dear, income and profit are not the same thing. You can think of profit as additional income... Let's put it this way, without the market in Yehliu City, I might not even have a profit of 2,000 gold soles."

Victor explained a few words with a headache. Seeing Sylvia's lack of interest, he decided to throw out the content that she was interested in, and then said: "Once the channel of Jinshui River is opened, it will break the supply of supplies from the Kite Castle to the Human Horse Hills.

Blockade. Mithril, medicinal materials, silk from the Dusk Forest, iron from Nahuel, gold mines, and fine gold and breadfruit from the Borui people can all reach the Centaur Hills through the Golden Water River."

There are also fire element crystals and thorium ore... Victor added in his mind.

Sylvia nodded and said thoughtfully: "Go on, I'm listening."

"Have you noticed that Fish Lake is also a territory waiting to be developed?" Victor clicked on the map and said: "The shallow water area on the north shore of Fish Lake can support millions of fishmen, and the entire lake contains

How much wealth has he gained? According to the principle of who develops and who occupies it, Al and the Lant Empire leaders will not just watch the Gambians plunder the wealth in Fes Lake. The opinion of the old Marquis Solim is accurate, Al is sure

It is only a matter of time before we build a port on the lakeside."

Sylvia's left arm rested on the table, and her right hand held her delicate chin. Her slender waist collapsed downwards, highlighting her round and plump buttocks. She raised her head and saw her lover's eager eyes staring at her waist and hips, and she couldn't help but feel jealous.

Said: "You are not prepared to support Marquis Solim's proposal to build a port at the mouth of Fish Lake at all. You also know that Marquis Solim's proposal will definitely be opposed by everyone. But Marquis Solim will reveal the contents of the meeting.

The lords of Gambis are all opposed to forming an alliance with the Lant Empire to jointly attack the fishmen on the lakeshore. Only the York family expresses support. When Neovist builds a lakeside port, you can use this to establish good diplomatic relations with the Empire."

"My dear madam, isn't that why you agree with me?"

Victor sat down next to Sylvia, rubbed her waist and hips with his right hand dishonestly, and said: "The mouth of Feisi Lake is a strategic location, and Kite Castle's control here is equivalent to blocking the Jinshui River channel. Even if we have a port,

, even with warships, they couldn’t move. Therefore, Kite Castle must build a port at the mouth of Fish Lake. When Neovist took the initiative to launch the Murloc War, they took advantage of the situation and rushed to build a port in the Barony of Clumen, thus strangling

The choke point of Jinshui River occupies the leading position in the development of the southern continent. However, Marquis Solim has explained the truth that everyone understands."

"If we can maintain an ambiguous relationship with Neovist, the strategic significance of Port Clumen will be greatly reduced."

Victor continued: "When the time comes, Kite Castle will unite with us to suppress Neovist's activities in Fish Lake."

Sylvia shook her head and said: "Have you ever thought about it, since building a port has so many benefits, why doesn't the Kingdom of Sus build a port in Faunas Lake or Fish Lake?"

Victor frowned and said: "Although Lake Furnas is close to the Kingdom of Suss, it is still nearly a thousand kilometers away from the border. The main army of the Kingdom of Suss is concentrated on the front line of the Dusk Forest. Even if they have the strength to fight on two fronts, they cannot go there.

Fight an inconsequential fish-man war in the distant Fornasser Lake. Otherwise, the Knights of Radiance will have an excuse to transfer 20,000 Templar troops from the Dusk Forest defense line to the eastern part of the Sasan Empire."

"But I think that in the next twenty years, the Kingdom of Sousse will support Al in building a port on the shores of Lake Fes..."

"Absolutely impossible!"

Silvia raised her eyebrows and asked: "Did you know that the Queen of Neovist is the youngest aunt of Queen Eleanor?"

Victor pondered and nodded: "I know. 700 years ago, the Knights of Radiance trapped and killed the emperor, crown prince, grand duke and other direct bloodlines of the Lant Empire. In order to renew the noble bloodline, the imperial royal family reached an agreement with the then Sousse royal family.

Covenant: Neovist will only marry noble girls of purple-eyed blood as queen."

"After the New Testament of Light, the Kingdom of Suss began to have good relations with the Sasanian Empire and became a staunch ally of the Radiant Knights." Sylvia said: "For more than three hundred years, Neovist and the Purple-Eyed Queen have

Their heirs either died young or died unexpectedly, and no one could inherit the throne. Instead, the children born to the noble daughter of Nakhtigar and the emperor maintained the inheritance of the Lant Empire. The last three purple-eyed queens even inherited the throne of Neovist.

No children were born, and the two parties only remained husband and wife in name only. The ancient alliance has existed in name only, but the Sus royal family refused to give up the position of Queen of the Lant Empire, and did not hesitate to push the royal nobles into the pit of fire... My dear, don't you find it strange?

?”

Victor said in confusion: "I'm very confused about this."

"This is the meaning of the Knights of Glory." Sylvia said lightly: "Seeing that the situation was over, Neovist completely surrendered to Nakhtigar. The Royal Family of Al has always been the loyal dog of the Pope. The Royal Family of Lant

It has become the secular spokesperson of the Pope. The Knights of Radiance control the queen position of Neovist, which can effectively curb the secular influence of the Rand royal family on the Three Kingdoms."

Victor frowned and said: "The Pope's lineage? Hasn't the Pope been emptied out? Is it necessary for the Radiant Knights to continue targeting the Rand royal family?"

"Being ignored? If the clergy below the middle level hear these words, do you think they will fight you desperately?" Sylvia glanced at Victor and said with a half-smile: "That's right, now

Every pope is appointed by the Holy See, but as long as the descendant of Enoch wears the papal crown, he is a strong man in the holy realm. Do you think that the Holy Spirit priest who even I am afraid of is willing to be a puppet? The pope who is held high

We need to be more careful because he has a status second only to the Supreme Lord in the hearts of the people and middle- and low-level clergy."

Sylvia was silent for a moment, her eyes became dark and unpredictable, and she said calmly and resolutely: "No one wants the Pope's lineage to regain divine power, and no one will help Aier build a port. The lords of the Three Kingdoms are even less likely to do so.

Allow Neovist to make a comeback."

"The old Marquis Solim understands the truth. The reason why he made the impossible suggestion is purely to make a last effort for the family. Only in this way can he put down everything and concentrate on attacking the golden field. Only you, a fool, don't know why.

, standing on the opposite side of everyone."

Sylvia said seriously: "I don't care what you think, don't have anything to do with Neovist. Unless he is willing to give up the throne and completely end the inheritance of the Lant Empire."

Victor nodded and said, "I understand."

Knowing this does not mean that Victor gives up the plan to build a port in Fish Lake, and building a port in Fish Lake does not necessarily have to have a political connection with Neovist.

Victor plans to hand over the north-south trade of the Golden Group to Sophia, and he will concentrate on operating the trade routes from east to west. The Jinshui River channel is of great significance to the Golden Group. As for the ownership and use of the port, it can be done through the Church Cardinals.

segmentation.

Victor believed that Pope Clement would be willing to support a neutral organization that was pro-Cardial Council. Because the Cardinal Council’s footing was an impartial and neutral position. The Golden Company itself also belonged to a neutral trade armed group. As long as the Cardinal Council

If you are willing to endorse the Golden Group, many problems can be easily solved.

The clergy should not interfere with the secular world...what a wonderful commandment!

Of course, it's not yet time to show off his cards to Sylvia, so Victor can only hold it in if he's full.

"Fortunately, Eunbi Se is quite smart and knows how to use Jillian to cover it up for you." Sylvia sighed and smiled: "Otherwise, I would have been badly hurt by you."

"Then why do you support my proposal?" Victor asked unconvinced.

Sylvia smiled narrowly and said with an aggrieved expression: "You didn't elaborate on the reason at the time. I thought you were really deliberately embarrassing Williams because of Jillian's marriage. I supported your decision without asking, and I also

Isn’t it to please my love?”

Victor had a bad feeling and asked: "What happened to Gillian's marriage? Isn't her marriage partner to Count Weigel August?"

"Kite Castle and Chebman have not reached a formal engagement, so anything is possible." Sylvia shook her head and said with a smile, "I heard that Kite Castle intends to exchange children with Chebman."

For a silver knight like Gillian, exchanging children is equivalent to cultivating a close spouse. This is no wonder that Count and Mrs. Chebman did not bring the heir to the king's coronation ceremony. They were worried that Gillian would ask Victor for help.

, destroying the blood marriage between the family and the royal family.

Victor was furious and was about to stand up when a flawless white hand placed on the back of his hand. Sylvia's tender eyes made him gradually calm down.

"You should understand that Jillian will get married eventually, and she can't always stay with you." Sylvia said softly: "Of course, she can maintain a family relationship with her husband and maintain a close relationship with you.

partnership. But now things have changed and the problem is you."

Victor asked confused: "Why?"

"August does not allow Copper City to have silver bloodline." Sylvia stared into Victor's eyes, her red lips parted slightly: "I don't allow it either!"

"The Chebman family has seen the lessons learned from Solim. If they want to rule the Copper City, they cannot refuse August's infiltration. Gillian, as the heir to the Chebman family, must pay the price for this. So Kite

The exchange of children between Fort and Chebman is actually to use a little August to exchange for your and Gillian's children in advance. If you don't have children in the next ten years, Earl Chebman will naturally choose from the family.

A child was returned to Kite Castle, and Gillian had to reproduce with her adult husband."

Victor said with a straight face: "In other words, Gillian and I can only get along for a few more years?"

"You still have me, and I only have you." Sylvia said softly. She rolled her eyes, and said with a sweet smile: "You turn Jillian over, I will definitely support it. Or, I will turn Cui over."

Silly, Ulena, Odel and Catalina will all compensate you. How about it?"

"Can we not talk about this?" Victor said angrily.

"Loneliness is the enemy of high-level knights. Once the Silver Knight is alienated from worldly life, the erosion of the soul by the elemental sea will become more serious. While his strength is rapidly increasing, his lifespan will also be shortened. You have time to comfort other people's high-level knights.

Female knight, why are you turning a blind eye to my high-level female knight?" Sylvia slightly pouted her red lips and said dissatisfied.

Victor's heart moved and he murmured: "The ancient knights should have a way to resist the erosion of the soul by the elemental sea... Blue taro may be the main ingredient of related potions, not just for the golden knights."
