"Your Excellency Da Gong has occupied too much energy by the military, so it is normal that you don't have time to think about these problems." Sean turned his head and flattered him. "Business is based on the fact that both sides can be stalemate and have equal dialogue. If it weren't for the years that the East and West Odin Empire had been suppressed by Youth Da Gong, this proposal just now would be like not saying it. Opening borders and trading rashly would only cause disaster for itself."

This flattery is definitely of a high level. It not only protects the other party, but also praises the other party’s most proud achievements over the years.

Since entering the door, Grand Duke Cedric, who had been tense with his face tight, his facial lines have become much softer at this moment. He nodded and said, "It is true that the Odin Orcs are born with power. If they don't suppress them, they will not do business with you. After all, why bother trading if you can grab something? In other words, in recent years, the balance between the two major Odin empires has been broken. In order to compete for the grassland, both sides have fought to death and don't have so much energy to pay attention to us, otherwise we wouldn't have so many leisure days, let alone this kind of idea."

Grand Duke Cedric paced back and forth for two steps, and then said, "Now is an excellent opportunity to try to open up some borders and trade with small and medium-sized tribes that had been difficult for those days. What do you think?"

The last sentence of Grand Duke Cedric was not to ask Sean, but to the Regent Princess Sufiriya.

This matter was not supported by his niece, but it was impossible to implement it. Because the Blood Castle in the Broken Mouth lacked basic commodity support, it was said that at that time that it would be possible to take part of the commodity from Sufeilia as the start-up capital for the initial trade.

The Regent Princess nodded without hesitation and said, "I agree with this matter. We have been in a stalemate with the Odin Orc for so many years. It is time to change the war mode. However, if we talk about business, we are tied up together, and we are not the opponent of Baron Sean. Since it is your first start, tell me, what are your other good ideas?"

"I don't have any mature ideas for the time being. I can only talk about where I think of it. If you want to think about it, you can consider it and ignore what is useless." Sean explained in advance.

"I was passionate and mom-in-law and mother-in-law. You were almost pointing at the nose and scolding me just now. I didn't do anything to you. Can I eat you because you said the wrong thing?" Grand Duke Cedric glared at Sean and said, obviously he prefers Sean's previous style of saying whatever he said.

"I've thought too much." Sean laughed and said quickly, "There are only two ways to trade with Odin orcs. One is to bring goods into the Odin prairie and travel to merchants. The advantages and disadvantages we are using this method are very obvious.

The danger coefficient is too high, and the entire caravan disappears on the vast grassland, which takes a long time. After a caravan goes around, from at least half a year to one or two years, the interests will shrink a lot. The advantage is that they can bring intelligence personnel in and out to understand the situation of the Odin grassland and those tribes.

The second method is to choose fixed locations on the border between the two sides, establish a trade market, and use a large amount of scarce supplies on the grassland to attract those Odin orc tribes to come to their doors. The benefits of doing so greatly reduce the risk index. Even if a greedy tribe wants to attack the trade market, it has enough geographical and personnel advantages, and maybe you can take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take over the other party.

The disadvantage is that it can only be passively waiting for the other party to come to the door, which takes a long time, especially in the early stages, and it is not easy to open the market. Those Odin Orc tribes are worried that this is a trap and dare not try it easily.

My suggestion is to take a two-pronged approach, while establishing a border trade market and sending caravans to the Odin Prairie to trade. There is no need to go too far. The main purpose is to promote the border trade market and attract those Odin Orc tribes to come to their doors. After establishing a stable trade relationship, you can enjoy the fruits. Not only will there be a large number of Odin Orc tribes coming, but merchants from the Byron Alliance will also take the initiative to surge there after seeing the benefits."

"If the method you just mentioned is indeed a good method, it is not easy to use now. So, the caravans that have emerged in the Odin Prairie in recent years are all led by your Eternal Night Army?" Grand Duke Cedric did not let go of the information contained in Sean's words.

"That's right." Sean nodded openly and admitted.

There must be Grand Duke Cedric on the Odin Prairie. The news that Yongye Army leader has made here in the past two years is not small. It is impossible to hide it from him, and there is no need to hide it.

"I advise you to withdraw them from the prairie as soon as possible. In the next few years, this place will be extremely chaotic. If you are not careful, you will be doomed." Grand Duke Cedric warned.

Sean's eyes were condensed and he said solemnly: "Is the Theodin Empire ready to launch a full-scale war against the Eastern Odin Empire?"

"It seems that you have a lot of information about the Odin orcs in your hands." Cedric said with a voluntary voice. "The Odin Empire has been preparing for this for many years, and now is the most chaotic time in the Eastern Odin Empire. If it were me, I would not miss such an excellent opportunity."

"Thank you for your information, we will adjust the deployment on the Odin prairie as soon as possible." Sean said sincerely. Although such a large military operation of the Theodin Empire can only be hidden from the eyes of those who are interested. It is just a matter of sooner or later when you get the news, but if you get the news one minute earlier, you can make adaptive deployment one minute earlier and reduce the losses one minute more. This is the news he is waiting for here.

"I should remind you both public and private." Grand Duke Cedric waved his hand, "What's more, I still want you now. Let's talk about how this border trade should be carried out if this condition is substituted into it?"

"Everything has two sides, and the overall situation is no exception. The two major Odin empires in the east and west have started a war. The main force should be large tribes. Those small and medium-sized tribes are mice in the cracks. Life will be even more difficult. If you are not careful, you will become cannon fodder. In order to survive, they will try their best to avoid the main battlefield. They have only two choices.

Either try to go north or go south. The north is a frozen wasteland, and it is more difficult for them to survive there. It is estimated that there will be more tribes going south by then. So many tribes are crowded in small areas, and various daily necessities will be even scarce. If border markets are opened at this time, it will be easier to open up the situation. If it were me, I would definitely try it. There will be no losses anyway, right?" Sean asked with a smile.

Sean did not guess the deeper things without authorization, and needed to know them. At that time, Sufeilia would naturally tell herself that there was no need to be foolish in front of an old fox.

"Very good! Very good! Very good!" Grand Duke Cedric patted Sean on the shoulder with satisfaction.

I just don’t know if he was saying that Sean had a good idea for the Blood Castle in the Broken Mouth or whether he was his niece and son-in-law.

Sean wiped his cold sweat in his heart. After such a whole thing, Grand Duke Cedric's initial attitude of interrogating prisoners naturally could not continue, and he was considered to be a mess.

"If Your Excellency the Grand Duke really wants to open up border trade, I have something to help." Sean began to show his fangs carefully.

"What aspect?" asked Grand Duke Cedric.

Sean's proposal did scratch his itch, and there were two purposes for his trip.

One is the topic of the future marriage between the Lancelot royal family and the Strach family.

The other is the military expenditure issue of the Broken Blood Fort, and at the same time, more military rations are raised to prepare for the turbulent situation on the Odin Prairie.

At the military meeting of the Blood Fort in the Broken Mouth, Grand Duke Cedric said it was full of heroism, as if he had taken action himself, and the Lords and nobles bowed their heads and gave in and presented the military supplies they needed.

Only Grand Duke Cedric himself knew how difficult this was.

This is different from on the battlefield. The enemy is in the open, and he only needs to swing his knife to cut.

Although the Lords and nobles were afraid of themselves and did not dare to force them, it was not easy to reach out and take things out of their pockets.

None of these lords and nobles were simple, and they had already honed a way to deal with him. When they saw him, most of them were hugging their heads and crying.

He either cried and was telling the Grand Duke Cedric about the many disasters and difficulties in his territory over the past year, either floods or droughts, and even plagues were rampant. He couldn't even extricate himself from the blame, let alone support the Blood Fort in the Broken Quarter.

In order to act realistically, some people use rotten food and moldy bread at banquets to entertain Grand Duke Cedric.

When Grand Duke Cedric left, he squeezed out poor military supplies and food dryly, and then stuffed a bunch of worthless tears of guilt.

Grand Duke Cedric knew that the other party was acting, but he had no choice but to do anything. He could not lead his troops to break through the other party's warehouse to verify whether there was food in it, right?

No matter how domineering the Grand Duke Cedric is, he will not be able to do so.

Because if you do this, your nature will completely change and you will be treated as enemies by those lords and nobles in the future.

However, the way of sending beggars made Grand Duke Cedric feel disgusting.

If there are other possibilities, he will never deal with these bastards.

Now Sean put a brand new possibility in front of him, how not interested.

"I formed a chamber of commerce in Valesta, which is full of pure merchants, but due to local security, they cannot go on business from a distance, so we want to organize a mercenary certification agency to formalize mercenaries..."

Sean roughly described the mercenary idea that he had proposed to the presidents of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce to Grand Duke Cedric and the Regent Princess Sufilia.

Obviously, Sean attacked the retired soldiers of the Broken Blood Fort.

The five presidents of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce unanimously recognized Shawn, a mercenary idea, and believed that there was great operability in it.

However, when implemented, there are many difficulties. It is not a matter of rulemaking, but the fact that the existing mercenary industry is so mixed with good and bad luck. They do not have their own team, and when they really do it, they are not confident.

The top priority is the punishment team, which is the core focus.

If there is not enough force to ensure that they can hold those mercenaries accountable, the so-called mercenary system will be difficult to establish.

So, so far, this plan remains on paper.

If they still can't think of a way to open up the situation in the future, they have to seek help from the Yongye Army leader and find a way to do this.

This is the last move. After all, the Yongye Army leader is now short of his own strength and is unwilling to spend too much energy on it.

The visit of Grand Duke Cedric gave Sean an opportunity.

Isn’t the retired soldiers of the Broken Blood Fort a natural candidate for mercenaries?

Although their combat effectiveness has dropped significantly due to disability and age, the foundation is there. As long as the disability is not too serious, it is still fine to deal with those little thieves and ordinary bandits.

Most importantly, their qualities are more secure than those mercenaries of unknown origin.

Sean spared no effort to incite Cedric to open border markets, and naturally he had his own interests.

The Yongye Army Leader could not go around such a big circle and get money there, but the Valesta Chamber of Commerce could.

If we could take the opportunity to open up this line, the Valesta Chamber of Commerce would be truly upright. Even without the support of the Eternal Night Army Leader, no one would dare to touch them.

Because at that time their interests will be tied to the Broken Blood Castle.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Grand Duke Cedric said three good words in a row.

A ruler has its strengths, and an inch has its weaknesses.

Grand Duke Cedric is definitely a good player in war, but he is an absolute layman in economics and trade.

Sean just talked about the commerce of the border, which really made him see huge business opportunities, but he really asked him to start working on it, but he didn't have a good idea, such as what is the most intimate material among the Odin Orcs? The source channel of these materials? How to transport these materials? What is the shipping cost? How to price, etc.

Don't say that he is considering it well, whether he can consider these is a question.

This is basically the case with the retired soldiers of the Broken Blood Fort.

Business is also a skill job. If no one leads it in, and you want to hit the east and west, you don’t have enough capital to squander it, and it will be difficult to touch the tricks.

As mentioned earlier, the reason why the Valesta Chamber of Commerce was able to grow and grow in snowball was because the Eternal Night Army made full use of the descendants of the Ans enemy.

They are doing business themselves, but are limited by their capabilities and scale. When they are at the bottom, they are engaged in trade with the lowest interests.

But that is also a kind of trade, and it is also the most challenging one, because they can't afford to lose, and it is more difficult to make money, so they have to calculate.

When the Yongye Army leader provided them with channels and commodities, they could naturally take advantage of the situation and grow at a terrifying speed.

Without them, the Yongye Army Leader simply relies on some laymen who have no business experience. Even with their intelligence and product support, it is still a question whether they can develop to this level.

The retired soldiers of the Broken Blood Fort are just outspoken laymen.

But when it comes to mercenaries dancing guns and rollers, Grand Duke Cedric is good at it, that is a group of soldiers with disorganized discipline. It is the easiest to organize them into shape and manage them with military methods.

If Valesta Chamber of Commerce is used as commercial support and retired soldiers of the Broken Blood Fort serve as military support, border trading will no longer be an empty talk.

After doing this, Sean was completely confident and told Cedric: "It seems that the Grand Duke lacks business talents. Let's do this. If you have time another day, I will introduce several presidents of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce to the Grand Duke. I believe they have their own unique insights on border trading."

"It's so good." Grand Duke Cedric nodded repeatedly, "I will discuss this matter carefully before I look back and study it carefully. I'm here for this trip, and there is another thing that needs to be explained in advance. My youngest son Arnold may have sneaked into your territory. I hope that after you find him, you can teach him a lesson, but don't hurt his life."

"General Arnold went to the Eternal Night Army to take it?" This sudden news almost made Sean shudder, and countless alpacas rushing by in his heart.

Although Arnold Strach is not as famous as his father, Grand Duke Cedric, he is also famous as one and three generals of the Broken Blood Castle. It is said that he is like a nobody in the Odin Prairie.

In recent decades, most of the brilliant achievements created by the Break Blood Knight have won by the few, most of them are from him. He is the life idol of Kelman, the chief of staff of the three main forces of the Yongye Army.
