Although the Black Death has passed, there are still many things that need to be arranged and solved in the future.
The fear and chaos brought on by the disease had left many industries in ruins for a long time - commoners and slaves lost their livelihoods, had no financial income, and thus made tax revenue unsustainable.
The money that the nobles can receive will decrease, and the quality of life will decrease...
Xia Zoe can expect the situation after the epidemic ends in various places.
- nothing more than a vicious circle.
Most nobles don't care how the commoners or slaves live, and when the life-threatening disease no longer exists, they just want to restore their old standard of living as soon as possible.
As for commoners and slaves
In the eyes of the nobles, they have not a single silver coin or even a copper coin worth.
If things are not handled properly after the epidemic, the chaos will continue.
Just like the Saint Air Empire that was wantonly destroyed by the Black Death.
The situation in the Wangcheng is particularly serious - the population is missing, most of the houses and residences have been artificially destroyed, and almost all the shops have been looted and looted...
The food in the fields is uncultivated.
During the Black Death, all the fields in sight were looted.
What's more, some fields were burnt down by a fire, and there are still black spots on the ground.
Although the shadow of the Black Death is gradually fading.
However, the lives of commoners and slaves were still unsustainable under the subsequent influence, and food and clothing were often unable to be satisfied.
And the king of the empire was still inactive when he recovered from his illness.
In this case, the dissatisfied people in the city protested one after another, and some nobles also expressed their opinions.
The king had to launch the eldest prince Warner to handle government affairs.
The Saint Air Empire is currently in turmoil, with the population estimated to have shrunk by almost a third.
The most important is the border territory - which has been lost under the influence of the epidemic.
-The robbers unscrupulously occupied the villages, plundered the estates and money of the nobles, took the territory at the border of the empire as their own, drove the slaves to work for them, and did all kinds of crimes.
And that's not the worst case.
As a vassal of the Saint Air Empire, the Kingdom of Bia was completely blocked during the outbreak of the Black Death, and the situation was much better than that in the Saint Air Empire.
His Majesty the King of Bia Kingdom is called Asa Derek.
He had received the mayor of Fort Komoy, Wiener, and the diplomat, Nat, who had been sent to visit him by the Territory of Desinia, and had bought a secret recipe for sugar.
Finally, the King of Bia cooperated with Xia Zoe to print the secret recipe of sugar on paper and spread it all over the street to publicize it to the public.
Asa Derek had long wanted to separate the Kingdom of Bia from the San Air Empire and cease to be its vassal state.
The period after the Black Death happened to be a good time.
There is a scourge of robbers in the Saint Air Empire, and the kingdom of Bia is pressing every step of the way.
No matter how capable the eldest Prince Warner can be, he is a little bit in a dilemma at this time.
The second prince, Ken, suggested that it is better to ask for support.
Warner thought, and first excluded Powell.
The war in Powell was fierce, and Gena Cosmo was even more ambitious.
From Warner's point of view, it is impossible for the King of Powell to support the Empire, and he is more likely to join the Kingdom of Bia to take advantage of the situation to give the Empire a piece of meat.
The situation in the Empire of Saint Air is now complex and urgent, and Warner cannot take risks.
The second prince Ken said: "Big brother, since the Powell Kingdom is also likely to take the opportunity to throw stones at the empire, we must also pay attention to guarding against the attack of the Powell Kingdom while eliminating the robbers and suppressing the Kingdom of Bia."
Warner nodded.
Ken: "Brother, how do you see the request for support from the Territory of Desinia?"
"Lord Desinia is an open-minded man."
"He led the alchemists to develop antibiotics that could cure the Black Death, and he helped various places to tide over the difficulties regardless of the gains and losses..."
"I don't think he would refuse to help the Empire."
Speaking of Xia Zoe Desinia, Ken couldn't help but feel a little complicated in his heart.
After the Black Death, Desinia's reputation became higher and higher, and its influence in the empire may have surpassed that of the king.
- This is not very good news for the ruler.
Xia Zoe Designia.
This name has almost become the belief of some people, only under the creator god.
To some extent, this devotion, gratitude, and even fanaticism may well have an impact on the Empire...
Ken had to think further.
If the Empire of Saint Air would one day be an enemy of the Territory of Desinia.
So will the people, knights, and even nobles of the empire really be hostile to this lord who is the most prestigious, the most merciful, and who has gathered the beliefs of countless people? !
- Could it be that some people will involuntarily give up their resistance before the war begins
Ken hears even wherever he walks now - "Oh! It's thanks to Lord Desinia that we can regain our peace."
"Without Lord Desinia, I'm afraid I have already met death. God of Creation is above, bless Lord Desinia in good health..."
"...It was Lord Desinia who saved everyone!"
"Lord Desinia, he must have been sent by the God of Creation to rescue us!"
There are countless similar remarks.
Ken had no doubts.
If someone said a bad word about Desinia now, they would be thrown out of the city and into the river to wash their heads.
Because this person is afraid that his head is not clear.
Ken thinks, the Empire is best to reach a friendly relationship with the Territory of Desinia now - and the Empire's lowering its stance and asking for support from the Lord of Desinia is the first temptation.
- There really is no better choice than to ask for support from the Territory of Desinia.
However, Warner sent someone to deliver the letter of request, but it was rejected by Xia Zoe.
The reason is—he has now accepted the gift of the second prince of Amy Kingdom, and he is very busy now, and he really has no time to intervene in matters related to the Saint Air Empire.
So I'm very sorry, but trouble the big prince to find someone else.
Warner was a little disappointed by this, but didn't take it to heart, after all, others really had no obligation to help them.
On the contrary, Ken asked inexplicably, "What is the gift from the second prince of Amy Kingdom?"
He knew the second prince of the Amy kingdom.
- Nittaya was rescued from the Amy Kingdom and came to the Saint Airo Empire.
Although they were infected with the Black Death, at the last moment, they were lucky enough to catch Doctor Bird's Beak and enter the quarantine area with antibiotics.
After Nittaya rested in the imperial city for a while, he took the few people around him to the Desinia territory.
He wanted to thank himself.
Unsurprisingly, the kingdom of Amy, which was almost wiped out, will be inherited by the second prince, Nitaia.
The Empire of Saint Air wanted to take advantage of the situation to occupy the kingdom of Amy.
After all, the kingdom of Amy is now like meat that has been placed on a chopping board, and can only be slaughtered.
Even if the second prince of Amy Kingdom is still there, there is nothing to make up for it.
But the St. Airo Empire coincided with "internal and external troubles", so it could only put aside the occupation of Amy Kingdom first.
Warner's eyes flickered at Ken's question.
He said, "What do you think the second prince, Nittaya, will prepare to thank Lord Desinia who saved his life and the rest of the people in Amy?"
Ken was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed.
Warner said: "I think Nittaya may give Desinia what she currently has."
And what does he have
Amy country.
…
The gift that Xia Zuoyi received was indeed Ami.
Nittaya is very clear.
Although he can inherit the throne of Amy Kingdom, he will definitely face an extremely difficult situation after inheriting, and he is hard to resist.
The Kingdom of Amy was a difficulty and a burden for him, but not for Lord Desinia.
Nittaya had already decided to give the country of Amy to Desinia. After that, he would travel to the mainland with Wright Green and Joton to see everywhere.
Xia Zoe accepted this gift.
Although the geographical location of Ami is far away, it is in the southernmost.
But after he owns the kingdom of Amy, he can directly order someone to open up a shortcut at sea.
—Yes, Amy is adjacent to an inland sea, and this narrow bay surrounded by land connects to the Cogit Sea.
The fleet can set off directly from Wisasne to Amy.
After the Amy kingdom becomes his territory, the resources belonging to the south will be transported over and further developed and utilized in beneficial research.
After that, caravan cargo ships, etc. can also leave directly from the harbour in the Cogit Sea and sail into the inland bay…
It's a win-win situation.
Xia Zuoyi attaches great importance to taking over the affairs of the country of Amy, and he intends to return directly to the country of Amy with the second prince Nittaya to conduct an on-the-spot investigation.
As for the letter requesting support that the male protagonist sent to him in the original book
Where it came from, where did it go back.
I don't have time, and I don't want to get involved.
After all, he was very busy.
After arriving in the kingdom of Amy, we must first start to restore the devastation and chaos caused by the Black Death.
After a long journey.
Xia Zuoyi finally brought the beasts and people to Ami's country. It was just like the news from Doctor Bird's Beak before - it was desolate, silent, and there were only a few people left.
Chebman Norton led Doctor Birdbeak to Amy Country and did not leave for a while.
Because the situation here is too serious, until now I have recovered a little bit of anger.
Xia Zuoyi asked the Youth League to deliver a letter in advance, informing Chebman Norton and others that he was coming.
After the fleet sailed to the bay, he saw Chebman Norton waiting here with people, but behind them stood more scrawny, gaunt people.
Xia Zoe thought that the people of the Amy kingdom were here to welcome the last heir of the second prince, Nitaia.
However, Nittaya shook his head: "I don't think so."
"It's not me who came to greet you, it's you."
The boat stopped near the shore and the ramp was lowered.
Xia Zoey's figure appeared.
After Chebman Norton saluted him, the people of Amy Kingdom seemed to confirm something, without prompting or making a sound, but they knelt down to him in unison like a tidal sea.
Xia Zuoyi's footsteps as he stepped down suddenly stopped.
This scene is silent, but even more shocking.
Xia Zuoyi understood their unspeakable gratitude, trembling bodies, and tears in their eyes...
- The people of Amy Kingdom have been immersed in despair and fear for too long, and they finally saw a bright light shining in when they were numbly waiting to die...
At this moment, Xia Zuoyi was the holy person who led them out of the abyss.
Gradually, one person spoke, two people, three people... More words of thanks came together, as if to drown the bay in half.
A day later, Xia Zoe logically included the Amy Kingdom into the Desinia territory and became a part of its territory.
The people of the kingdom of Amy raised their hands in approval.
He also gained some unexpected joy - the small countries or territories around Amy that were also shrouded in the Black Death also voluntarily belonged to Desinia.
Since then, Xia Zoe has successfully illuminated most of the southernmost territory on the system interface.
