After the suffering caused by the Black Death epidemic was over, economic exchanges began to resume in various places.
The sales of commercial goods that had to be stopped before have also resumed, including the distribution of newspapers.
The business of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce has been successfully stationed in the San Air Empire, and even if the king of the empire wants to go back, it is too late.
What's more, this is the Prince Warner's personal request that the newspaper be opened in the king's city, and the construction has been completed in advance.
The matter of collusion between the mayor and officials of Quinceysi and the robbers, and the murder of the people, was published in the newspaper not long before Shazoe returned to Parsan.
Then, it was distributed everywhere.
The originally closed news spread in an instant.
It was written in the newspaper by some of the victims of the mutilated people personally and with detailed oral accounts.
- An objective description of the whole thing, which also vaguely mentioned that the Quincey incident was also related to the San Air Empire.
As for the discovery of minerals, the past is vaguely outlined.
The key point is how the lord of Desinia dealt with these mayors and officials who colluded with robbers and persecuted the people - they were tough, and they were executed on the spot in accordance with the laws enacted in the territory, and they would never be tolerated.
The significance of this newspaper being sold in various places is entirely to deter some people who are also careful.
A lot of people are talking about what happened to Quincy.
Especially after that - the black and white cavalry troops occupied several territories on the border of the Saint Air Empire, which made people have a lot to talk about.
The war between the Territory of Desinia and the Empire of Saint Air was also written on a section of the newspaper.
Win or lose.
After the newspaper was gradually published in the Saint Airo Empire, the king, who had been stagnant in his heart, immediately became ill.
He even wanted to suppress the newspaper branch of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce and forcibly closed the newspaper branch built in the royal city.
But it was stopped by the big prince Warner.
First, the establishment and existence of the newspaper was originally the result of the acquiescence of the royal family.
Now turning his face and not recognizing people will only make the outside world think that the imperial family has little stomach and no tolerance.
- The failure of the war can be said to be entirely the king's responsibility, due to the king's decision-making mistakes.
Second, it's just like the good conditions that Warner and Xia Zoe talked about at the beginning.
In fact, a large part of the content that can be published in this newspaper shop in the imperial city is controlled by Warner - whether or not this newspaper can be circulated in the territory of the St. Airo Empire is decided by Warner.
But the king did not know this.
The residence of the great prince.
The second prince, Ken, came here with a newspaper.
He was sitting in a chair, while Warner leaned against the window and looked out quietly.
After a while, Ken said first, "Brother, this newspaper has been published all over the empire, what are you going to do next?"
For Warner's moves, Ken also knows a little bit.
Especially in the newspapers, he understands that Warner is deliberately creating public opinion.
Warner turned his head, his ice blue eyes seemed to be frosted, but they seemed to disappear under the sunlight, like an illusion.
He said, "If I were to do something to Kaxiu... Ken, would you be soft-hearted?"
This sentence made Ken fall into silence for a moment, and he expected Warner's meaning.
"I won't be soft-hearted, big brother."
"I'll always stand behind you, but what do you want to… deal with Kaxiu?"
Warner: "If he's sensible, I can guarantee that he'll still have everything the royal family has."
"But if..."
The rest didn't have to be said in full, and Ken understood.
He asked: "Brother, Kaxiu is nothing to be afraid of, even now most members of the royal family will be on your side..."
"It's the father that we need to think about carefully."
"He's still a king now, and he has power in his hands that can overcome you... If you want to fight him, are you really sure?"
Ken knew that the publication of the newspaper was only the first step in Warner's attempt to shake the king's prestige.
- When the king's decision-making mistakes directly lead to the shrinking of the territory and people's lives are uneasy, then his throne will gradually no longer be consolidated.
But what Warner plans to do in the future, Ken has no idea.
Compared with the king, Kane hopes that his eldest brother Warner will take the throne sooner.
In this way, he doesn't have to worry about whether the Empire of Saint Air will eventually end in the hands of the king.
But Kean is afraid that Warner's integrity will affect his decisions.
He didn't want Warner to be soft-hearted with the king.
After all, when Warner was a child, the king lovingly and carefully nurtured him to become the crown prince of the entire St. Airo Empire...
Although the current king is a little confused, he still values Big Brother Warner very much.
"Brother, I understand that you are sure to win the support of the royal family. What I'm asking is... Will you show mercy to your father?"
Ken said solemnly, "Have you really made up your mind to take the throne while your father is still alive?"
He was not valued since he was a child, and he did not have too deep feelings for the king or his younger brother Kaxiu.
The only two people he treats as relatives are his elder brother Warner and his younger sister Lenael.
Ken cares about Warner.
If they really have a choice, then they can't be soft-hearted in the middle, and they have no chance to go back.
Warner walked to Kane's side and pressed his shoulders slightly with his fingers: "I'm sure I want to be on the throne."
"And for the father..."
"My kindness depends on his actions. I am bound to win the throne. Anyone who becomes a stumbling block for me to ascend to the throne will be kicked away one by one."
Ken was relieved.
He said, "Brother, I will help you."
…
Xia Zoe didn't know the turmoil that was about to happen in the Saint Air Empire.
He was now talking to Archibald about the merchant ships coming to Amy for business through the port in Wessas.
Archibald means that the road leading to the southernmost is firmly controlled by the Empire of Saint Air, the tariffs are heavily charged, and the price of the goods has increased exponentially.
Now that there is maritime transportation here in Xia Zoe, it is natural to give up the route of the Saint Air Empire.
And if the goods are not restricted, he plans to build a branch of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce in Amy.
Archibald asks Xia Zoe how she plans to set the tax on the harbour.
- The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce and the Thorns Chamber of Commerce have business exchanges and cooperation, and whether the price can be appropriately reduced.
"I just helped you, little Zoe." Archibald said with a hand on his head.
Xia Zoe: "Of course there is no problem opening a branch of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce in Ami."
"In fact, I intend to promote the economic recovery and development of Ami as soon as possible. With Nagabi's help, this matter will undoubtedly be smoother..."
"But have you ever thought about joining the North-South trade?"
Hearing the words, Archibald said sternly: "How do you say it?"
Xia Zoe: "Some common things in the north are rarely seen or even absent in the south, and some things in the south are the same for the north."
"If the North-South trade is exchanged, a lot of profits can be made from it."
Seeing that Archibald was interested, Xia Zoe continued: "I plan to build a fleet dedicated to north-south trade first."
"There are not only merchant ships from the Thorns Chamber of Commerce in this fleet, but other chambers of commerce and even some individual merchants can join in."
"Archie, what do you think?"
Xia Zuoyi frowned and said, "Would you like to join in?"
Archibald said with a smile, "You want to snatch the trade route of the Saint Air Empire?"
"How can you say it's a robbery?"
"After all, the distance from St. Airo's Empire to Amy is closer. If some people feel that the sea route is farther away, they can naturally choose to start from the route of Saint Airo's Empire."
Anyway, it is to Ami to do business no matter what, it makes no difference to Xia Zuoyi.
He just gave one more option, so that more people can flow in the Territory of Desinia and promote economic development.
In addition, the present territory is still the extent of the land far exceeding the distribution of the population.
He needs to attract a lot of talents to settle in Desinia territory.
And it's not just North-South trade.
Amy needs to build, one is the infrastructure in the city, and the other is Amy's seaport to first improve the facilities and related systems.
He can hand over the work of cement paving, building houses, etc. to foreign caravans by contracting out, so that they can find ways to hire more craftsmen and laborers.
And these people must have come from outside the territory of Desinia.
- As long as there is population movement, there will be population settled.
Archibald said at this time: "But sea transportation is no more risky than river, sea."
"How do you want to attract so many businessmen to let them give up the route from St. Airo's Empire to Amy, and come to sea transportation?"
Xia Zuoyi touched his chin in thought, and suddenly said, "Do you think killer whales are cute?"
Those black and white big fish
Archibald nodded.
Xia Zuoyi said: "What do you think of killer whales as mascots of luck at sea? They are symbols of luck at sea, and they are the gospel bestowed by the God of Creation."
"Is that so?" Archibald frowned slightly.
He felt that this was not enough to attract foreign merchants to Amy through the harbour in Visas.
Xia Zuoyi: "What if there is one more news."
"Archie, Samuel has been followed by killer whales on the way to explore the new continent on the Riding Wind."
"And the reason why they went all the way smoothly and did not encounter danger to find the New World is also the reason why this group of killer whales is protected."
"These are the things Samuel mentioned to me when he came back."
Xia Zuoyi said these words without blushing at all, after all, there are objective facts.
He said: "If this news is published in the newspapers, do you think it will be successful in attracting some people?"
He wants to build an image for the killer whale.
But before that, he needs to further improve the law on killer whales - it is forbidden to hunt whales at sea. If found, they will be expelled from the territory, or punished by death.
Archibald: "If something like this was published in the newspapers, it would definitely attract a group of businessmen."
Samuel's story and fame at sea is sure to catch most people's attention.
Xia Zuoyi thought, so in what form should this matter be presented in the newspapers
- The text narrative is too monotonous, and just adding illustrations is not enough.
…
Five days later, when Gena Cosmo arrived in the Territory of Desinia, a cartoon published in the newspaper was released.
The name of the comic is "The Adventures of Samuel Fern at Sea".
For this reason, Xia Zuoyi specially recruited the artist who drew illustrations for the series of Gods Stories, and put forward some requirements for him to pay attention to - such as picture format, character images, etc.
After that, he went to Samuel again, told him about this matter, asked him to get along with the painter more, and described some details.
Then, let the painter make appropriate changes.
Xia Zoe also asked Samuel to describe in writing what he saw and heard about going out to sea to explore the New World and landing on the New World.
- Remove the gold, and write more about the clothing, customs, and eating habits that are different from those on the Western Continent.
Xia Zoe said to Samuel, "For example, what kind of clothes and accessories will those people wear?"
"When you finish writing this book... Well, it's called Fern's Travels, this book will definitely be printed and circulated, and the Chamber of Commerce will also make it based on the clothing and accessories described in the book."
“…adding a new twist to the clothes sold.”
"Samuel, your contribution is great, and I will give you the reward you deserve."
Facing the temptation of Xia Zoey's "candy", Samuel Fern agreed and went to write Fern's travels in high spirits.
It wasn't long before he saw the cartoon published in the newspaper—a big, round and cute black and white fish.
…
What about him
The author has something to say: Xia Xia: Don't be sad, although the protagonist of the comic is not you, but the protagonist in Fern's Travels is.
Samuel: It's not as promised...
Xia Xia: But you are also in the comics.
Samuel: But I'm a supporting role...
"Samuel Fern Sea Adventures" protagonist: killer whale dumplings, friendship starring: Samuel Fern Xiaxia whispered: I can't afford this name to attract readers.
