"Recently there has been some turmoil in the north, and a famine has swept many principalities." Connet merchant Jacques said. "So some roads are not as safe as before."

Su Liya nodded, her lips vomiting softly, "I know about this."

For such a long time, there have been waves of riots and escaped slaves. It is impossible for the nobles not to know. In fact, many nobles in the kingdom have received reports.

Because of this, after Bohemond, Ryan and Morgiana passed their anger, he immediately arbitrated the royal family for 10,000 gold crowns, and gave the rest to the wife of Casvann to raise the price of all the captured knights. , The King of Bretania sent a special envoy to negotiate with the empire.

For this ending, although everyone still has some opinions in their hearts, first of all, this is a compromise opinion that everyone can barely accept. Second, the negotiation is protracted, and it will not be good for everyone if it continues like this.

Many aristocratic territories have experienced instability and riots. This year's grain harvest has had a great impact on everyone, and the aristocrats knew that the trouble should not go on.

This great political wave finally came to an end, Richard kept the throne in the chaos, but his further reduction in the influence of the kingdom is indeed an indisputable fact.

"So, what Mr. Jacques meant was that the riot in the north was caused by the riots," Su Liya asked.

"No, the situation is a bit weird. Some merchant ships can pass, and some merchant ships cannot arrive. According to the merchants who successfully passed, a hurricane blew on the sea and many merchant ships were destroyed by the hurricane." Jacques took the topic.

"The problem is like this now, madam." Hadrian also said. "There are frequent riots in the north. Even if it is just a coincidence, the security in the north will only get worse for the time being, not better, Mrs. Suria, we need to get through the new ones. Trade route."

The businessmen knew a little bit, and the future countess would immediately understand.

As the risk of the northern sea route increased, the profits of the merchants and the nobles were affected. They urgently needed to open new trade routes, and the biggest trade route was the trade with the empire.

Therefore, when the merchants came to look for Lane, they were planning to ask Lane to find a way to find a new and reliable trade route, because Lane was the biggest beneficiary of this golden trade route.

At the same time, the second biggest beneficiary of this trade route is Su Liya's father Francois, and the female knight will also find ways to help these merchants out of her family's considerations.

Ryan's reputation in Brittany is naturally very high, and his relationship with the empire is relatively strong. His Majesty the Emperor Karl Franz has also met with Ryan many times, and the two sides need each other for trade.

After going through all the things in her mind, Su Liya's thoughts became clear, and the female knight dignifiedly said softly, "If the northern business route is not available, the current reliable business route will be the only one between the axe bite pass and the gray lady. Right?"

"Exactly." Oliver replied immediately. "The problem lies here. The road for Lady Grey is not safe, and the taxes on the axe bite pass are too high, often two or three out of ten. It is difficult for us to bear such a high tax. ."

Suria nodded, and the earl’s fiancee continued to think about it. Most of the income of the Duke of Montfort was based on the tariff of the axe bite, even if the Duke of Vulcade was picked up and the sword was placed on his neck. , Vulcade will not agree to tax cuts.

"The road of Lady Gray is not easy to follow. Compared with the axe bite the pass, this road is secondly difficult, and the problem is insecurity." said Ismail, a large businessman in Polderro, "The road of Lady Gray is also It was heavily taxed by the Duke of Palaon. Although it was less than the axe bite, this trade route was too unsafe. Many green-skinned tribes and dark creature merchants on the mountain road could hardly guarantee that they would pass alive."

"I know about this. In the depths of the Grey Lady's Road, there is a vampire castle called Longyan the Eternal. There are a large number of dark creatures entrenched in it." Su Liya thoughtfully.

The female knight admired her fiance’s vision from the bottom of her heart. She smiled and said, “In fact, Ryan has already discussed tariff issues with Lord Casvan in the imperial camp. Lord Casvan agreed that if you hold For Lane’s trade charter, the caravan can enjoy substantial tax relief."

"Oh, that's great," several businessmen sitting at the end of the conference room couldn't help but shout.

This happened when Ryan met the captured Casvan in the Imperial Camp. Ryan took advantage of Casvan's defeat and was frustrated. When the defeated general was not brave enough, Ryan offered him his own suggestions.

That is, Lane requires the caravans in his territory to enjoy tax relief when passing through the road of the gray lady.

Casvan also calmed down and began to consider Ryan's suggestion.

The condition of tax cuts is not unacceptable to Casvan, Duke Pallaon has long been jealous of Ryan's ability to trade with wood elves.

If he doesn't agree to Ryan's request, he won't get a penny. If he agrees to Ryan's request, the tax reduction is certainly his own loss, but at least he and his family can get a share of this golden business road.

After Casvan knew that he was captured, his family had to pay a staggering ransom for this, as did the knight families in his territory. He needed money and the situation was better than others. Under Ryan’s mighty advantage, Casvan can only use the ring to stamp the contract, and then swear to the fairy in the lake that the goddess justified the contract on the spot, and would not give Casvan a chance to go back.

"Tax relief is a good thing, but we still have to find a way to solve the security problem of the Gray Lady's Road." Su Liya did not show much joy, the female knight calmly said, "This needs to send troops, gentlemen, we need to start a fight. The war will solve the problem of Longyan the Eternal once and for all."

After speaking, Suria’s sea-blue eyes were shining brightly, and the female knight calmly said, “If we want to send troops, we have to pass through the Duchy of Pallaon. This will not be considered until Casvan is redeemed. , Besides, I want to open up this trade route"

After speaking, Su Liya slowed down a little, and the female knight was sitting on her shoulders, exuding the great majesty of the daughter of the great nobleman.

The majesty of the female knight is like the silk cloth that was stretched tight in front of her, bringing a strong sense of oppression to all the big business people present.

"Yes, of course, we will help Lord Ryan and his army to solve the threat of Longyan the Eternal. Everyone has money to pay and contribute hard. Lord Ryan opens up business for us. We should serve." Oliver first took the lead and said this. The Empire Merchant is Ryan's biggest iron, and he was the first to stand up.

Oliver picked the head, and Hadrian was the first to respond "No problem, it should be."

When the remaining large businessmen saw this, they all nodded.

The army and force are in the hands of the nobles. The merchants are not necessary for the nobles. If a merchant cannot show his own value to the nobles, it will be replaced or even killed sooner or later. It is merchants who can replace their previous positions.

No matter how powerful the merchants are, they cannot fight against the nobles, especially the holy grail knights like Ryan. People like Ryan will only ask merchants to cooperate with him, and Ryan does not need to ask anyone.

Only in Marienburg, the merchants would have some status, but when Ivan, Duke of Griffins, showed up with the Griffin Riders, they still had no choice but to confess.

"Very good." Su Liya made the big businessman bow her head to admit defeat in every move. This was destined to be an unfair duel, and the female knight won a big victory.

After the meeting, the female knight stood up and performed a perfect etiquette toward everyone, and the merchants quickly responded politely.

"Miss, you are amazing. These businessmen are subdued by you." Su Liya's maid, Silvia, said excitedly in the corridor. "This is all Miss's wisdom."

"It's not actually." Su Liya shook her head, her long golden hair shook, and the tall and perfect gold material moved along the corridor. "The merchants are not afraid of me, but of Ryan and my surname."

"Miss," Silvia whispered.

"It's okay Silvia, do you know why I agreed to be engaged to Ryan so happily?" Su Liya brought her maid to a window in the castle.

In the distance, the Oracle Mountains and Sharon Forest shrouded in cold wind and clouds.

"Your Excellency Ryan, respect you very much. It is not the virtue of knights respecting women, but a kind of respect for real equality. In the kingdom, the virtue of knights is respecting women, but in fact it is mostly a kind of courtesy. Many knights It’s not really respecting women, but virtues requiring them to follow the knight’s etiquette.” Silvia whispered, “But Lord Ryan is different. He is willing to let you do it and support you behind your back. In fact, there are many in the territory. He will let go of everything and leave it to the young lady to do it."

"Yes, I like this."

The female knight showed an alluring smile, and the entire corridor was illuminated.

Su Liya just stayed with Ryan on the pretext of helping Ryan deal with internal affairs. Suriya has a very high prestige in Ryan's territory. Although she has not yet married, she seems to be a mistress. And almost all the leaders, the courtiers and knights of Ryan have recognized the position of the wife of Su Liya, and the female knight has gained the respect and wear of everyone through her abilities and strong strength.

Quiet evening, the master bedroom on the third floor of the castle.

The little maid Emilia, the dark elf Olyka, the maid Sylvia and the Marquise Suria all stay in the master bedroom. Emilia and Olyka are wearing maid costumes, giving the earl and his future Madam makes tea, while Silvia sits by the fireplace and warms the fire.

"Is the famine in the north so serious?" On the soft white leather sofa, Ryan held a long form and sighed. While the knights and nobles were all meeting in the capital, riots broke out in many villages. The serfs killed the village elders and the stewards left by the knights, and robbed them of food and money."

"The weather in the northern part of the kingdom is not good this year, and the grain harvest is bad." Su Liya shook her head slightly.

"I care" Ryan thought for a while, and shook his head. "Forget it, a lot of things have to wait until they really happen to make a judgment. What happens in the north is also the business of the dukes and kings in the north. We have no reason or excuse to intervene. ."

"Um."
