Lorgar stared at the circle on the ground for a long time, "But if you want it to circulate, you need to keep investing money... In general, a large part is still out of the hands of the Great Chief."
"The key is here... and it took me a long time to understand. This is also the biggest difference between him and other nobles," Andrea drew another big circle, including all the small circles, "he From the very beginning, he regarded the entire Greycastle as his own territory, so no matter which city this flowing wealth is distributed to, it belongs to him."
"But he's the king, isn't it wrong to think so?"
"When Kuangyan was still the head of the clan, could your orders govern those clans in the Yinchuan Oasis?" Andrea asked, "Even Tiesha City is not the Kuangyan clan. For the four kingdoms In other words, the situation is almost the same, the enfeoffed nobles are equivalent to tribal leaders, they neither allow outsiders to interfere in the affairs of the territory, nor regard the fiefs of others 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 less time with her in the future, which will affect your ability to think." Andrea patted her on the shoulder, "This requires the dual assistance of strength and policy. The former discourages the enfeoffed nobles, while the latter allows the power to be concentrated in the hands of the king. This is definitely an innovation. The difficulty is that His Majesty Roland not only has such an idea, but also moves towards this aspect from the very beginning. The longer I stayed in Winterfell, the more I felt that such details were too numerous to count."
"It's really a bit... complicated." Lorgar touched her head, and was secretly surprised. She didn't expect this blond woman who seemed to be a thousand miles away to answer such questions so carefully. Could it be that she always wanted to share these findings with others, but she had been suffering from no one to tell.
"Of course, politics is 10,000 times more complicated than fighting," Andrea said triumphantly, "and that's just one point. The other point is that what he won is not only growing wealth, but also you."
"us?"
"The truth is much simpler. Migrant 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 exchange your salary for more comfortable enjoyment items, and then you will never be able to do it again. Get away. In the end, you will become Greycastle people, not a nominal part, but his real subjects."
Andrea inserted the stick into the ground, clapped her hands and stood up, "This process is certain, the oasis is shrinking, and many tribes are facing the threat of survival. Now there is no need to kill each other to survive. It will be a matter of time to relocate. And there is still a lot of land in the south that has been abandoned due to the war. Rather than keep it vacant, it is better to hand it over to the sand people to reclaim it, which is also producing wealth for him.”
Having said this, she paused, "Do you understand now? If you use this method, after 20 years, His Majesty Roland will not only be able to get the black water he wants, and the wealth that will grow and grow, but also include most of Mo Jin in the extreme south. Do you still think the former is more cost-effective when it comes to people and buying sex?"
Lorgar didn't answer, she suddenly felt that something was touched in her heart. More than the question itself, the other party's attitude made her care more about the reason why Andrea didn't hide it, probably not because she trusted her, but it didn't matter even if she knew it. Whether she accepted it or not, the result could not be changed. It seems like a waterfall rushing down from a cliff of Wanzhang, its potential is unstoppable.
Majestic, unstoppable, unstoppable... Being able to integrate the situation, people's hearts and strength into one, taking all this into consideration to such a profound level, the tricks that he uses are inevitable. The person who sees through this layout alone deserves admiration, not to mention the initiator. If the Great Chief was born in Iron Sand City, he must be an outstanding warrior.
Maybe this is what she should be working towards.
"Thank you for your guidance, I think my martial arts have taken another step forward!" Luo Jia said with a fist.
"You can understand what? Wait, you say martial arts?"
"Yes, I'm going to practice now, let me say goodbye first," she said, and couldn't wait to run to the hill behind her. There was an open gravel field, which was suitable for practicing skills.
"Sure enough, just like Ashes... a fool."
After running a hundred paces, the wolf girl heard Andrea muttering to herself in a low voice, but in the word "stupid", there was no indifference at the beginning.
A week later, Lorgar received news from Echo that the Crazy Flame Clan had officially decided to move to the South, and after negotiation between the two sides, his father agreed to a plan to move in three phases to ease the burden on Greycastle, while the allocated land was It is the part of Bishuiwan connecting with the port, and it is also the most fertile part of the sea outlet in the town.
The entire migration process will last for more than a year. The first group of people is expected to arrive in half a month. In order to settle the former head of the clan, Princess Aosha, who usually misses Neverwinter the most, decided to extend her stay in Clearwater Harbor. time. This application has been approved by the Great Chief, but Ashes, Andrea and Hummingbird will still set off on time and take the "Roland" back to the West.
As for whether Lorgar should follow the witch first, or stay here and wait to join the clan, Echo gave the choice to herself.
The wolf girl did not hesitate for too long, so she chose to set out with Ashes.
She believes that even if she is not here, her father and brother can handle the affairs between the clans well . What's more, she has already given up the position of the patriarch, and it is easy to feel estranged when they meet again in a short period of time. Since she has to leave sooner or later, it is better to leave early.
In addition, the news about Neverwinter and the Witch Alliance learned from Ashes and Andrea also made her look forward to the West, whether it is the famous battle witch on the battle list, or those hidden in the blood mist of the wilderness. Her formidable enemy, and even the warchief who has no power to tie her (inquired from Ashes), but has unique martial skills, are the reasons that prompted her to leave early.
The next day, Echo smiled and sent them aboard the steel ship.
Standing on the deck, Lorgar suddenly felt that those stone boats that seemed to be generous at first were nothing. This metal-cast boat was firmly parked beside the river. The material of the hull alone probably exceeded that of the Mojin clan. The sum of the weapons and armor used. With mixed feelings, she held the railing with both hands, lowered her furry ears, and nodded her goodbye to Echo.
With the loud whistle, the Roland, carrying the three princesses of Kuangyan, slowly drove towards the west.
