Chapter 63 The Dilemma of the North

"Your Highness..."

Standing there, looking at Oliman standing there in a daze, looking a little absent-minded, Chen Heng reminded him.

Only then did Oliman come back to his senses.

"Feel sorry."

Looking at Chen Heng in front of her, she sighed and covered up: "Sorry, seeing you makes me think of some past events."

"It's ok."

Chen Heng nodded understandingly and didn't ask any more questions.

"In the past few months, Kaelin, you were not in Kutu, where did you go?"

Looking at Chen Heng, Oliman continued.

She is naturally very clear about where Chen Heng went, but at this moment she is just putting aside the topic in order to answer the call.

"I went to my father's domain and stayed there for a while."

Chen Heng said truthfully: "There, I still have some things to deal with, so I stayed in my father's territory for a while."

"Oh?"

Oliman seemed a little curious, and asked deliberately, "I don't know, what is it?"

"It's not convenient for Fang to disclose?"

There was curiosity on her face, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face, which made people itch.

Anyone who sees her look like this, I am afraid they can't help it, and they want to show off their achievements.

Chen Heng was unmoved, just smiled and simply said what he had done.

What he did, while important, was not really a secret.

At least like Princess Oliman in front of her, as long as you want to investigate, I am afraid you will soon know the result.

Since there is no possibility of concealment, Chen Heng has no intention of concealing it, and speaks directly and tells what he has done.

"North-South trade."

Listening to Chen Heng's remarks, Princess Oliman's face showed surprise, and her face was full of admiration: "It's a good idea."

"How did you think of it?"

With admiration written on her face, she asked curiously at this moment.

Compared with before, this time, although she still has a disguise, there is a lot more sincerity in it.

She really admires what Chen Heng has done, and there are many places where she wants to communicate with Adil.

The performance at the moment is not all disguise.

"My friend Krudo is the lord from the north."

Sitting opposite Princess Oliman, Chen Heng said softly, "Through this friend of mine, I learned about the lives of the lords in the north, their plight, and the surprises of the north and the south."

"The idea of ​​developing north-south trade also came from here."

"Oh."

Oliman became interested: "Tell me, what did you find?"

"That would be very complicated."

Chen Heng smiled and continued: "For example, climate, such as production."

"His Royal Highness may not know that the difference in climate between the south and the north is huge."

"This disparity has a serious impact on output, but also on the lord's earnings."

"Compared with the south, the production of grain in the north is not high due to climate reasons. The production of not one mu of land is only a quarter of that in the south."

"And in the same way, the battle with the desert aliens has led to a long-term war."

Looking at Oliman, Chen Heng explained: "The battle affected production, forcing the labor force that could have been put into output into soldiers, and even seriously affected the farming cycle, resulting in a further decline in output."

"These factors have affected the price of food, which has led to very high prices in the north."

"indeed."

Oliman glanced at Chen Heng and agreed with him very much.

Although what Chen Heng said is very simple and clear, in this era, not everyone can summarize it.

For many nobles who grew up in Kutu City, they probably don't even know where the north is, let alone what they have concluded.

"Then what do you think should be done in this situation?"

Oliman then spoke, looking at Chen Heng with interest.

For this question, she just asked casually, and did not expect Chen Heng to really answer.

In the past, she also asked many people about this question, but she never got a specific and clear reply.

Those professionals who know the situation in the Northland extremely well have no way to solve it, let alone Chen Heng in front of him.

But to her surprise, in front of her eyes, Chen Heng gave the answer just after a little thought.

"There are two ways."

Chen Heng thought for a moment, then said: "The plight of the lords in the north is not actually due to the low output, but to the continuous war."

The level of land output does not actually cause the lord to be in trouble.

After all, even if the output of an acre of land is less, it only means that the lord's income is less, and the life may not be rich, but it is impossible for the lords to fall on the brink of financial collapse.

The real predicament of the northern lords lies in their low land output and low income, and at the same time they have to face strong military pressure.

Because of the strong pressure from the desert, the northern lords had to fall into a long war.

And fighting has a cost.

It is precisely because in the case of low income, he has to continue to pay high

The high cost of war, so the northern lords will be in the current predicament.

Therefore, the way to solve the current plight of the northern lords is actually very straightforward.

"To solve this problem, either let the pressure from the desert disappear, or let the lords in the north profit from the war, so that they can continuously recover the cost in the war, so as to support it."

Looking at Oliman, Chen Heng gave his answer.

"Then what should be done to do this?"

Looking at Chen Heng, Oliman subconsciously asked this question.

At first, she also listened very casually, a little carelessly.

But as Chen Heng opened her mouth, she became more and more fascinated. In the end, she had concentrated all her energy and listened carefully.

As the princess of the Kutu Kingdom, and as a lord close to the northern lords, she has always attached great importance to the problems of the northern lords.

In the past, she has also listened to the suggestions of many relevant people, but no one has ever been able to analyze so thoroughly and clearly as Chen Heng.

"The method is actually very simple."

Looking at Oliman gradually becoming fascinated, Chen Heng continued: "If you want to reduce the burden on the lords in the north, you can start with trade first."

"Unlike the situation in the north, in the south, because of the climate and environment, the production of grain is very rich, and sometimes it even reaches the point where the grain rots in the warehouse and cannot be sold at all."

"It's the exact opposite of what's going on in the north with high grain prices."

Chen Heng said softly: "Through trade, the surplus food from the south can be transported to the north, thereby reducing the cost of the lords in the north."

"On the other hand, the slaves acquired by the northern lords in the war can also be digested through trade, so that the northern lords can make profits in the war and make war no longer an unprofitable thing."

"Once these two points are done, the pressure on the lord of the north will be reduced a lot, and it will not be as difficult as before."
