Chapter 483 Navy?pirate

The tax cut stimulus is a long-term mechanism, and the short-term impact on Xueyue Ling is not great.

The fortification work has been in full swing, and the safety of the construction team fell on Hudson.

The Kingdom plans to station 20 troops in the Near East, and that is just a plan.The first batch of troops to enter the Near East was only [-] troops, and the proportion of cavalry was only [-].

The only good thing is that half of the [-] cavalry are from the expeditionary army, and their combat effectiveness can rank first in the whole continent.

This force is definitely not enough for the orc empire, but it is more than enough for any orc tribe.The only problem is that the building of the city begins, and there are too many places that need to be considered.

The last expedition to the orcs launched by the Human Race Alliance, the biggest achievement was not to defeat the orc empire, but to interrupt their development process from the nomadic era to the farming civilization.

This is undoubtedly a great thing for the human race.It's a pity that for Hudson, who has to defend the Near East, that is a big trouble.

The biggest feature of farming civilization is long-term settlement, unlike nomads who have to move around every year.

If the orcs live in one place to farm and develop, the probability of doing things will definitely be greatly reduced.After all, the orcs can't run as far as they can, and they have to worry about retaliation if they get into trouble.

The nomadic civilization is different. After the robbing, they migrate away. On the vast prairie, it is difficult to retaliate.

It's already summer, and if nothing else happens, there will be orcs tentatively stretching out their claws after autumn.

……

"Marshal, all the materials from the Near East region have been gathered, and I am shocked by your reputation. There are no large orc tribes near the Xueyue Territory.

According to this situation, we made some adjustments to the original plan.In addition to developing fisheries and animal husbandry, the Ministry of Government Affairs plans to open salt farms along the coast.

There is a lack of salt mines on the prairie, and most of the salt supplements in the Near East will be transported from the kingdom in the future.

As long as the price of the salt we provide is similar to the price transported by the kingdom, we can steal most of the market.

Those who can compete with me in this respect are mainly a few lords in the coastal areas.Especially the Felix family, they have the kingdom's largest port in the northern border, and the convenience of the Canglan River.

If there is a price war, the Felix family, which also has geographical advantages, is most likely to divert our customers.

Especially the market in the seven provinces of Northern Xinjiang is currently monopolized by them and the other four major families in the Northland.

However, this monopoly is not sustainable. It is said that new salt mines have been discovered in northern Xinjiang. Once they are developed, their profits will drop significantly.

Considering that the Xueyue Territory is currently exempt from taxation, and other lords in the Near East have not yet been sealed off, the transit tax will definitely not be collected.

Due to cost considerations, some lords in northern Xinjiang may choose to detour from the Near East to deliver supplies.

As long as the price is reasonable, they don't mind buying a batch of salt when they pass by.

In a short period of time, you don't want to make much money from it, as long as you establish trading relationships with all parties and open up the market, you will be considered a success.

Considering that everyone is not rich at present, the sales of table salt are mainly low-quality coarse salt, supplemented by a small amount of refined salt. "

After listening to Jacob's words, Hudson nodded slightly.There is no expression on the face, but deep down I am quite happy.

Being able to deter the orcs, he can be regarded as making history.In the history of the kingdom, there were no lords who could scare orcs, but quite a few were frightened by orcs.

This kind of deterrence is not only effective now, but when the two armies are at war, it will directly affect the morale of both sides.

In contrast, the industrial structure planning of the territory seemed very mediocre.

Hudson didn't mean to intervene. A mediocre plan doesn't mean it's not a good plan.This kind of plan involving development strategy has always been as simple and common as possible.

Whether it is the development of fishery, animal husbandry, or the newly added salt industry, the Ministry of Government Affairs has worked out it according to the actual situation.

Under the existing production system, all have sufficient implementability.Even in the face of setbacks, losses are within controllable range.

Compared with the past when Hudson formulated the framework, the Ministry of Government Affairs was responsible for improving it. Now the Ministry of Government Affairs can take the initiative to modify the plan, which is already a great improvement.

In a sense, this is all due to the war.During the war, Hudson was far away on the front line, and the Ministry of State Affairs could only operate independently.

After spending more time working alone, everyone is used to dealing with problems by themselves, and is no longer the "child" who asks for instructions and reports on everything.

The salt industry in the territory is divided into: boiled salt and sun-dried salt.

Limited by production technology, although the cost of sun-dried salt is lower, the quality is really unsightly.

Yellow granules and powders, with terrible impurities, make people lose their appetite at first glance.

The technology of cooking salt is relatively mature, and its quality is better than that of sun-dried salt, but it is still a little bit less interesting to make high-quality salt.

The best snowflake salt and green salt are all boiled from natural salt mines. It is said that magic equipment is used to purify them, and magic active factors are also added.

The high-grade salt consumption market is too small, many small and medium nobles only eat ordinary table salt, while the big nobles are used to using their own salt.

Including when the salt produced by Hudson in his own territory can meet the demand, he has never purchased salt from outside.If the quality is not good, it will be purified several times, which is nothing more than increasing the cost.

As for the claim that fine table salt contains magic factors, Hudson never took it seriously.If the effect is really excellent, it is impossible to take it out and sell it.

Use negligible efficacy to publicize it as a theoretical support for product premium.In Hudson's view, it is something that collects an IQ tax.

If you really want to increase your cultivation speed, you might as well buy the "Hash Magic Potion".Although it is a diluted version, there is no taste or appearance to speak of, but the effect is still good.

The only problem is that the price is too high and the output is pitifully low. Payment and reservation must be made in advance, and delivery on time is not guaranteed.

Hudson is also forced to limit shipments.In the circle of magic potions, the name of Ha's potion is about to be dubbed "tumor".

The effect is so good that Juan's peers are almost unable to get along.According to some pharmacy masters, the auxiliary training potion produced by Hudson is the same potion as the magic beast ripening potion.

The only difference is the side effects.The ones for humans basically have no side effects, but the ripening potions used by monsters are very unstable, and various side effects may appear.

It can be sold well, mainly because the side effects are uncontrollable, but the harm is very small.Warcraft has rough skin and thick flesh, and some minor problems are nothing at all.

The same formula, the same combination, but with a few less additives, but the price difference is dozens of times.

The reason for the price increase is naturally that Master Hudson, the master of alchemy, personally took action, separated the side effects, and purified the efficacy of the medicine.

In fact, it doesn't matter much if there is no limit.The high price has dissuaded countless people, and only a few local tyrants can afford it.

The great nobles in the kingdom seldom purchase such cost-effective products after trying them out.

Right now, some wealthy aristocrats in the Southern Continent are daring to make large reservations and purchases to train talented children in their families.

In order to convince everyone that the cost of medicine is high, Hudson rarely uses it within the family, and only occasionally rewards meritorious ministers.

The main reason is that there is a lack of talented children in the clan, all of them are talents that can be seen at a glance.

Many people from the clan have cultivated to high-level knights, but they have encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation, and they can only slowly grind it out with time.

There is no extravagant hope for going up, it is basically a bottleneck one step at a time, and there is no possibility of a quick success.

The disillusionment of the masters of mass production is disillusioned, and the remaining ordinary people do not need to spend too much resources on training.

Anyway, if you are stuck in the bottleneck of cultivation, if you reach that step in the evening, maybe the breakthrough will be smoother.

Without getting involved in the narrow premium salt market, the technology of sun-dried salt is really developing vigorously in the territory. Now more than [-]% of the consumer market is dominated by coarse salt.

The main customers are nobles and lords. Anyway, it is for the serfs to eat. Whether it tastes good or not is completely out of their consideration.

As long as the quantity is large, cheap, and able to supplement the serfs with salt, that's fine.

In fact, the serfs were not the worst.It was the aristocrats who came forward to purchase the salt, and the salt merchants would not go too far.

The cheap coarse salt purchased by free people without money is of the worst quality.

Originally leftovers, it is often mixed with impurities such as soil and sand to increase the weight of salt.

After all, technology will improve, and Hudson will not bother to let the people below to toss.

Anyway, the product quality of the salt out of the sun is enough in the low-end market for the time being, so let’s make money first.

Limited by both productivity and transportation, nobles seldom change their partners once a commercial cooperation is reached.

The reputation of the noble itself is the best guarantee for the transaction.If it weren't for the ugly eating of the northern nobles, there would be no chance for Hudson to intervene.

There is no right or wrong, the current five major families in the Northland are extremely insecure.

The political differential treatment made them aware of the danger, and they had no choice but to expand their military in order to protect themselves.

Everything is false, only the military strength in hand is real.As long as the strength is strong enough, the kingdom is not afraid of reversing old scores.

The main reason is that Caesar IV's methods are not mature enough, and the meaning of targeting the nobles in the Northland is too obvious.If the method is more subtle, it may turn them into fools.

The motive was exposed in advance, so the original plan could only be shelved.Retaliation is one thing, but it cannot trigger civil war!
Hudson is sure that the royal family definitely has black material about the five major families in the North, and it may even be the kind that can kill them if they are taken out.

They didn't rush to attack, either because the incident was exposed and they couldn't take down the five major families in a short while; or they deliberately knocked the mountains and shook the tiger, using this sense of crisis to consume the strength of the five major families in the Northland.

In political struggle, it is not necessary to rush forward and put the enemy down.Using political means to consume the opponent's strength and force the enemy to make major concessions is also a victory.

"Follow your plan and implement it. When choosing a site, you should pay attention to it. The sun-dried salt has requirements on the climate and the site, and you must also consider the issue of defense.

Try to put it in place at one time, so as not to be forced to move out halfway through the work.

The production capacity can be increased. In addition to the nobles in the northern border and the Near East, the orc empire is also a vast market.

The low-quality iron production in the territory can also be gradually restored.If it goes well, it will be another important source of income for us.

Don't be burdened, we are not smuggling and trading with orcs for profit.

The main purpose of transporting goods there is to provoke civil strife among the orcs.Don't worry about scarcity but unevenness, as long as you grasp the rhythm of the transaction, you don't have to worry about not being able to create conflicts within the orc empire.

Jose, the shipyard needs a reminder.The number of ships in our hands is still too small.

Regarding the construction of the navy, your Ministry of Military Affairs must also grasp it.In the next five years, I don't ask you to have a decisive battle with the regular navy, but at least you must be able to deter pirates.

The main fleet is divided into two, stationed in the Xueyue Territory and the Mountain Territory respectively, and the actual combat training is rotated every year. "

Hudson said nonsense solemnly.

It is the same smuggling trade, but with different names, the meaning is completely different.

With the starting point of "stirring orc civil strife", all smuggling trades have become legal.Even if someone finds out, it's no big deal.

Anyway, there are so many tribes among the orcs, there will always be a few bad-minded ones who will be tricked.As long as there are results, everything will become logical.

Deep down in his heart, Hudson despised the northern nobles again.Bai blinded such a good condition, but only knows how to do business and capture slaves, no wonder he became notorious.

If they had taken the initiative and planned several orc civil strife, all walks of life in the kingdom would definitely not criticize them so much.

"Duke, there are not many orc tribes in the coastal area, except for the area of ​​Newport, the remaining places are almost not suitable for large tribes to live in.

If you want to use orcs to train soldiers, you may need to go deep alone.Not to mention the great risks involved, it is still unknown whether the results can be achieved. "

Jose said cautiously.

If it is not stable, Hudson's strategic deployment is already very risky.If he, a military officer, doesn't try to control it, the situation is likely to get out of control.

"This matter is simple. Form a marine corps and equip enough cavalry. Move quickly and return quickly, and evacuate directly from the sea after robbing the orcs.

It doesn't matter if you can't grab something. Bringing back the orc's head can also be used as a military exploit.

Not only our navy has to participate in this matter, but also a group of noble lords with good sea power must find a way to get involved.

If the regular army can't do this job, let the pirates controlled by them come over to do a side job.

What you have to do is to come up with a successful case first, and then I will use the case to persuade the kingdom to let the mage group clean up the reefs in the coastal area and create conditions for landing. "

Hudson said murderously.

Orcs can harass the Near East, and kingdoms can also invade from the coast and disrupt the prairie.

It can't harm the entire orc empire, at least it can make the orc tribes in the coastal areas cry.

Frankly speaking, it is a little late to implement this plan now.

The area around Xingang (Bimeng Port/Fengyue Port) has been ravaged by the expeditionary force and turned into no man's land.Countless orcs turned into undead and roamed the prairie, but they have not been wiped out so far.

Without this piece of land that is most suitable for "pirates" to play, most of the remaining areas are not very easy to grab.In many cases, it is necessary to go deep alone to achieve results.

The main reason why Hudson dared to implement this plan was that the coastline of the orcs was too long to be defended at all.

Through continuous harassment, the orcs were forced to move to the Forbidden Sea, sealing them inland.

Once this strategic goal is achieved, if the Orc Empire wants to obtain materials from the outside world, it can only start a smuggling trade with the kingdom, and will be plundered economically for a long time.

Even if there are other big forces that want to support the orcs, there is no way to send the aid there.In essence, Hudson still has no confidence in the integrity of the major forces of the human race.

Once the major forces in the southern continent digested the results of the battle and went north to defeat the alien alliance, the human alliance would come to an end.

Without the pressure of racial survival, pitting teammates is completely a basic operation.

The news of the Holy See's collusion with the orcs used to spread all over the sky.Although there was no real evidence in the end, Hudson still took it seriously.

……

The Behemoth camp, once the number one imperial court of the orcs, has lost its former glory at this moment.

Looking at the resident with nostalgia, Chief Alex sighed and said: "Send the order, let the people pack their bags and prepare to migrate!"

No matter who the new royal family is, they must surrender here.Being able to escape from the position of the royal family is already a miracle in the history of the orc empire.

Once the orc royal family in the past fell down, they would be swallowed up immediately.The smooth landing of the Beamon family depends entirely on Alex's understanding of current affairs.

Of course, flexible diplomatic means are also an important factor.

Relying on his extraordinary communication skills, and with his efforts, the Bimon clan has always maintained a good relationship with the other four royal families.

With four families helping as guarantees, the potential contenders who have not yet ascended to the throne of the royal family are naturally hard to say anything.

There is no action on the surface, but it does not mean that everyone is safe in the dark.To this day, once Beamon places an order outside, accidents still happen frequently.

If there are too many coincidences, it is not a coincidence.Knowing that these races were worried that the Behemoths would jump out to pick peaches at the last moment, so they weakened their strength through black hands, Alex could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Whatever the weak do is wrong, everyone can still maintain the harmony on the surface by covering the lid, but if there is a disturbance, it will soon be a big war.

In order not to fall into the endless internal strife, Alex could only choose to migrate away, and ran to the front line to avoid the limelight.

The reality is so funny, the area where the conflict with the enemy is the most intense and a war may break out at any time has become the safest habitat for the Beamon clan.

In this regard, the major races of the Orc Empire and the great nobles of the Alpha Kingdom have similar ideas, and they don't want to be neighbors with each other.

"Yes, Chief!"

The guard's words deeply hurt Alex's heart.

It's not the royal family, and even the title has to be changed accordingly.Once the violation of the rules is discovered by the enemy, it is equivalent to sending the knife over.

Witnessing that the Beamon clan turned from prosperity to decline, Alex's heart was broken.The Beamon royal family, which used to control more than [-] people, can only survive by relying on political wisdom.

"Who's eavesdropping outside?"

It's not that Alex is nervous, it's because the current situation is not harmonious with the Bimon family, so we must be extremely careful.

"Your Majesty Alex, long time no see!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Alex's expression changed instantly.What should come is still coming. With such a big change, how could there be no complaints among the Bimon people?
The old Beamon Emperor died, and the blame naturally fell on his successor.No matter how hard he tried, the royal status of the Beamon family was lost in his hands.

Now that they can't even keep their ancestral land, they will be forced to move to the front line, and the dissatisfaction among the clan has also reached a critical point.

If civil strife might break out, Alex was also well prepared, and sent someone to keep an eye on the guy who might cause trouble in advance. As long as there was any change, he would strike first.

It's just that he had done all his calculations, and he never thought that it was not any powerful person in the clan who challenged him, but Prince Butzweig, who had fled to the world of ice and snow long ago.

　Thank you 20230515174245948 for the great Baiyinmeng, Haiyue is a little dizzy, this is the first time I have encountered Baiyinmeng!
I have too little knowledge, try to get used to it as soon as possible.It is necessary to add more, and I owe a total of 13 more, and I will pay it back slowly after I have been busy for a few days!
