Chapter 63 The Dilemma of the North

"Your Highness..."

Standing there, looking at Oliman standing there in front of him, who looked a little lost, Chen Heng reminded him.

Only then did Oliman come to his senses.

"Feel sorry."

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

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Heng nodded understandingly and did not ask anything more.

"In the past few months, Kalin, you are not in Kutu, where have you been?"

Looking at Chen Heng, Oliman continued to speak.

She naturally knew very well where Chen Heng had gone. At this moment, she was just putting aside the topic and allowing her to answer the conversation.

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

Chen Heng spoke truthfully: "I still have some things to deal with there, 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's going on?"

"Is it convenient for Fang to disclose?"

Her face was curious, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face, which made people feel itchy when they saw it.

Anyone who sees her appearance may not be able to help but want to express her achievements and show off her.

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

What he did was important, but it was not actually a secret.

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

Since there is no possibility of concealing it, Chen Heng has no intention of concealing it. He spoke directly and told what he had done.

“North-South Trade.”

Listening to Chen Heng’s story, Princess Oliman showed a look of surprise on her face, and her face was full of admiration: "What a good idea."

"How did you think of it?"

Her face was full of admiration, and she asked curiously at this moment.

Compared with the past, although she still has a disguise this time, she has a lot of sincerity.

She was indeed very impressed by what Chen Heng did, and there were many places that wanted to communicate with Adier.

The performance at this moment is not entirely disguised.

"My friend Kurudo is a lord from the north."

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

"The idea of ​​carrying out trade between the north and the south has also come from now on."

"oh."

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

"That would be very cumbersome."

Chen Heng smiled and continued to speak: "For example, climate, production."

"Your Highness may not know that the climate difference between the south and the north is very huge."

"This difference seriously affects output and the lord's income."

"Compared with the south, due to climate reasons, the grain production in the north is not high, and there is no acre of land, only one-quarter of the south."

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

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

"These factors affect the price of food, which makes the food price in the north very high."

"indeed."

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

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

For many nobles who grew up in Kutu, they probably didn't even know where the north was, let alone what they had summarized.

"What do you think should be done in this situation?"

Oliman then spoke and looked at Chen Heng with interesting interest.

She just asked this question casually and did not expect Chen Heng to really answer.

In the past, she has asked many people about this question, but has never received a specific and clear response.

Those professionals who are very familiar with the situation in the North cannot solve the problem, let alone Chen Heng in front of him.

But what surprised her was that Chen Heng gave the answer just after thinking for a while.

“There are two ways.”

Chen Heng thought for a moment, then said: "The dilemma of the lord in the north is not in the low output, but in the continuous war."

The level of land output does not actually cause the lord to fall into trouble.

After all, no matter how small the output of a mu of land is, it just means that the lord's income is less and his life may not be prosperous, but it is impossible to put the lords on the brink of financial collapse.

The real dilemma for the lords of the Northland is that they have little land output and low income, while having to face strong military pressure.

Because of the strong pressure from the desert, the lords in the north had to fall into a long-term war.

And fighting requires costs.

It is precisely because they have to pay high war costs when their income is low that the lords in the north are in trouble today.

Therefore, the method to solve the current dilemma of the Northern Lord is actually very direct.

"If you want to solve this problem, either let the pressure from the desert disappear, or let the lords in the north make profits in the war, so that they can continuously recover costs in the war and support them."

Looking at Oliman, Chen Heng expressed his answer.

"What should I do to do this?"

Looking at Chen Heng, Oliman subconsciously asked this question.

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

But as Chen Heng spoke, she became more and more energetic. In the end, she had already concentrated all her spirit and listened seriously.

As the princess of Kutu, and as the lord who is close to the northern lords, she has always attached great importance to the issue of the northern lords.

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

"The way to do it is actually very simple."

Looking at Oliman who was gradually becoming enlightened, Chen Heng then spoke: "If you want to reduce the burden on the lords in the north, you can start from trade first."

"Unlike the situation in the north, due to the climate and environment, the south produces a lot of grain, and sometimes it even reaches the point where the grain is rotten in the warehouse and cannot be sold at all."

“This is exactly the opposite of the high price of food in the north.”

Chen Heng spoke softly: "Through trade, the surplus grain in the south can be transported to the north, thereby reducing the costs of the lords in the north."

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