The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Although the Black Death has passed, there are still many things that need to be arranged and resolved in the future.

The fear and confusion brought about by the disease has long since laid waste to many industries - commoners and slaves have lost their livelihoods, without money income, and thus without tax revenue.

The money that the nobles can collect is reduced, and the quality of life will decline...

Xia Zuoyi can predict the situation after the epidemic in various places.

— Nothing less than a vicious circle.

Most nobles don't care about the lives of commoners or slaves. When the life-threatening diseases no longer exist, they only want to restore their previous living standards as soon as possible.

As for commoners and slaves?

In the eyes of the nobles, they are not worth a single silver coin, or even a copper coin.

If the various things after the epidemic are not handled properly, the chaos will continue.

Just like the San Airo Empire that was wantonly destroyed by the Black Death.

The situation in the royal city is particularly serious - lack of population, most of the houses and residences have been destroyed by man-made, and almost all the shops have been looted and plundered...

The food in the fields is not cultivated.

During the Black Death, all fields in sight had been looted.

What's more, some fields were burned down by people, and the ground is still scorched and black.

Although the shadow of the Black Death is gradually fading.

However, the lives of civilians and slaves are still unsustainable under the subsequent influence, and food and clothing are often not satisfied.

And the king of the empire did nothing after he recovered from his illness.

Under such circumstances, the already dissatisfied people in the city protested one after another, and some nobles also expressed their opinions.

The king had no choice but to introduce the eldest prince Warner to handle government affairs.

The San Airo Empire is currently in turmoil, and the population is estimated to have been directly reduced by almost one-third.

The most important is the border territory - which has been lost under the impact of the epidemic.

——The bandits unscrupulously occupied the villages, plundered the manors and money of the nobles, took the territory at the border of the empire as their own, and drove the slaves to work for them, doing all kinds of crimes.

And that's not the worst.

As a vassal state of the Saint-Aero Empire, the Kingdom of Biya achieved a complete blockade during the outbreak of the Black Death, and the situation was much better than that of the Saint-Aero Empire.

His Majesty the King of the Biya Kingdom is called Asa Derek.

He once received the mayor of Fort Comoi, Wiener, and the diplomat Nat, who were sent to visit him by the Designia territory, and bought the secret recipe for sugar.

In the end, the king of Biya cooperated with Xia Zuoyi to print the secret recipe of sugar on paper and spread it all over the street to publicize it.

Asa Derek had long wanted to separate the Kingdom of Bea from the San Airo Empire and no longer be its vassal state.

The period after the Black Death happened to be a good time.

There are bandits in the St. Airo Empire, and the Biya Kingdom is pressing on it.

No matter how capable the eldest prince Warner was, he was a little bit in a dilemma at this moment.

The second prince, Ken, suggested that it is better to ask for help from outside.

Warner thought, and first ruled out the Powell country.

The war in Powell country is fierce, and Genna Cosmo is even more ambitious.

In Warner's view, it is impossible for His Majesty the king of the Powell country to support the empire, and he is more likely to unite with the kingdom of Biya to take advantage of the situation and eat a piece of meat from the empire.

The current situation in the San Airo Empire is complicated and urgent, and Warner can't take risks.

The second prince Ken said: "Brother, since the Powell Kingdom is likely to take the opportunity to throw stones at the empire, we should also pay attention to guarding against the attacks of the Powell Kingdom while suppressing bandits and suppressing the Kingdom of Bea."

Warner nodded.

Ken: "Brother, how about asking for support from the Designia territory?"

"Lord Designia is a man with a big heart."

"He led the alchemists to develop antibiotics that can cure the Black Death, and he helped various places overcome difficulties regardless of gains and losses..."

"I think he shouldn't refuse to help the empire."

Speaking of Xia Zuoyi Designia, Ken couldn't help feeling a little complicated.

After the Black Death incident, Designia's reputation has grown 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 God of Creation.

To some extent, this pious, grateful and even fanatical belief is likely to have an impact on the empire...

Ken had to think further.

If the San Airo Empire is an enemy of the Designia territory one day.

So would the people, knights, and even the nobles of the empire really be hostile to this lord who has the most prestige, the most benevolent, and the belief of countless people? !

——Could it be that some people will involuntarily give up resistance before the war begins?

Ken even hears a sentence wherever he walks now - "Oh! We can regain peace, thanks to the Lord Desenia."

"Without Lord Designia, I'm afraid I've already met death, God of Creation, bless Lord Designia in good health..."

"...It was Lord Designia who saved everyone!"

"Lord Dexinia, 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 something bad about Designia now, he would be thrown out of the city and thrown into the river to wash his head.

Because this person is afraid that his head is not clear.

Ken thought that it would be best for the empire to reach a friendly relationship with the Designia territory now—and the empire lowered its stance and asked the Designia lord for support was the first temptation.

——Indeed, there is no better option than asking for support from the Designia territory.

However, Warner sent someone to deliver the request letter, but Xia Zuoyi refused.

The reason is——he has accepted the gift from the second prince of Yami Kingdom, and he is very busy now, so he really has no time to intervene in the affairs of the Saint Airo Empire.

So I'm very sorry, please ask the eldest prince to find someone else.

Warner was slightly disappointed by this, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, others really had no obligation to help them.

Instead, Ken asked puzzledly: "What is the gift from the second prince of Yami Kingdom?"

He knew the second prince of Yami Kingdom.

——Nitaya was rescued from the Ami 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 up with Dr. Bird's Beak and enter the isolation area with antibiotics.

After Nitaya rested in the imperial city for a period of time, he took the few people around him to the Designia territory.

He wanted to thank him personally.

Not surprisingly, the almost extinct Ami Kingdom will be inherited by the second prince Nitaya.

The Saint Airo Empire originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to occupy the Yami country.

After all, Yami Kingdom is now like meat that has been put on the cutting board, and can only be slaughtered.

Even if the second prince of the Yami Kingdom is still alive, nothing can be done at all.

However, the St. Airo Empire was at the time of "internal and external troubles", so it could only put aside the occupation of the Ami Kingdom.

For Ken's question, Warner's eyes flashed.

He said: "What do you think the second prince, Nitaya, will prepare as a gift to thank the Desenian lord who saved his life and the remaining people in Ami?"

Ken froze for a moment, then his expression changed.

Warner said: "I think that Nittaya may give what he currently has to Designia."

And what does he have?

Yami country.

…………

The gift Xia Zuoyi received was indeed Yaya Kingdom.

Nittaya is clear.

Although he can inherit the throne of Ami Kingdom, he will definitely face an extremely difficult situation after he succeeds, and it is difficult for him to resist.

Yami Kingdom is a difficulty and a burden for him, but not for Lord Designia.

Nittaya had already decided to gift the kingdom of Yami to Dexinia. After that, he would travel to the mainland with Wright Green and Jotun to see everywhere.

Xia Zuoyi accepted the gift.

Although the geographical location of Yami is relatively far away, it is at the southernmost point.

But after he owns the Yami Kingdom, he can directly order people to open up a shortcut on the sea.

——That’s right, Yaya Country is adjacent to an inland sea, and this narrow bay surrounded by land connects to the Kogit Sea.

The fleet can depart directly from Wissas to the country of Yami.

After the Yami Kingdom became his territory, the resources belonging to the south would be transported over for further development and utilization in beneficial research.

Afterwards, caravan cargo ships, etc. can also leave directly from the seaport of the Cogit Sea and sail into the inner sea bay...

It's a win-win situation.

Xia Zuoyi attaches great importance to taking over the various affairs of the Ami Kingdom, and he plans to return to the Ami Kingdom directly with the second prince Nittaya for a field inspection.

As for the letter in the original book that the hero sent someone to ask for support?

Where did it come from, where did it go back.

I don't have time, and I don't want to get involved.

After all, he is very busy.

After arriving in the country of Yami, we must first restore the devastation and chaos caused by the Black Death.

After a relatively long journey.

Xia Zuoyi finally brought the beasts and people to Yami's country. The place was just like the news from Dr. Bird's Beak - desolate, silent, and there were very few people left.

Chebman Norton led Dr. Beak to Yami country and did not leave for a while.

Because the situation here is too serious, it is only now that he has recovered a little bit of anger.

Xia Zuoyi asked the Youth League to send a letter in advance to inform Chebman Norton and others of his coming.

After the fleet sailed to the bay, he saw Chebman Norton leading people waiting here. However, behind them stood more skinny and emaciated people.

Xia Zuoyi originally thought that the people of Yami Kingdom came to welcome the second prince Nitaya, the last heir.

But Nittaya shook his head: "I don't think so."

"It's not me they come to greet, it's you."

The boat stopped close to the shore and the gangway was lowered.

Xia Zuoyi's figure appeared.

After Chebman Norton saluted him, the people of Ami Kingdom seemed to confirm something, without prompting or making a sound, they knelt down to him in unison like a tidal wave.

Xia Zuoyi's downward steps stopped instantly.

This picture is silent, but even more shocking.

Xia Zuoyi understood their unspeakable gratitude, her body trembled, and her eyes filled with tears...

——The people of Yami Kingdom have been immersed in despair and fear for too long, and when they were numb for a long time, they finally saw a bright light shining in...

At this moment, Xia Zuoyi was the holy person leading them out of the abyss.

Gradually, one person spoke, two people, three people... more words of thanks came together, as if to submerge half of the bay.

A day later, Xia Zuoyi logically brought the Yami Kingdom into the territory of Dexinia and became part of its territory.

The people of Ami raised their hands in agreement.

He also reaped some surprises—the small countries or territories around Yami that were also affected by the Black Death also voluntarily belonged to Designia.

Since then, Xia Zuoyi has successfully lit up most of the southernmost territory on the system interface.
