Chapter 370 Reaching a Consensus
"Thank you ma'am for your reminder. I will handle this matter with caution." At this moment, the figure of Darnell first appeared in Sean's mind, and his territory was not a white ground for the power of the Holy See.
Darnell is purely a piece of idle chess played by Sean in the past. What he valued at the beginning was the strength of the opponent's double peak. He didn't expect to be able to use his other aspects one day. I don't know what's going on?
Both sides believed in the God of Truth, but Darnell's tricks had long been made specious by him according to his own wishes.
However, compared to the Holy See of Saint Ether, the church that Darnell built under the leadership of the Eternal Night Army is much purer. There are neither Holy See knights nor church land. Those believers provide spiritual asylum, so that their souls can rely on them.
The few missionaries who lived the lives of ascetics.
Moreover, due to the special situation of the Yongye Army Commander, and the special existence of the Military Commission in the army, the expansion of Darnell's new church is not fast, and it is only the third church being built so far.
Darnell is tepid, one step at a time, insisting on spreading his beliefs, and now he is also targeting the Crocodile tribe. These people have neither faith nor brainwashed by the military commissioners led by Yongye Army. easier.
Amelia smiled and comforted: "His Majesty Pope Delt's time is approaching. When he dies, the next pope will take over. I don't know how to change the sky!"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Pope Delter used the oracle instead of the oracle. The next pope can overturn the oracle, but he can't overturn the oracle. Otherwise, he will fall into a paradox. As long as the next pope is not a fool , I won’t do such a stupid thing.” Sean was not as optimistic as Amelia.
It seems that the leader of the Eternal Night Army needs to increase his support for Darnell, but before that, he must meet the former leader of the Sword of Saint Ether in person to find out the attitude of the other party. It is useless for the old family to oppose it.
"However, even if there is an oracle, it will take a lot of time to spread it to the ears of all believers, let alone reverse the original view and put it into action. It will not be fermented in three to five years, and it will not show its power. " Sean is not so much analyzing it for Amelia, as he is analyzing it for himself, "It's rare to see each other, so let's not discuss such a heavy topic. Look at the lady's dress, it should be the latest style, we are in Valesta's business should be good, right?"
"Your Excellency the Baron, don't you know what you're asking? I don't believe you don't know how prosperous the silk clothing business is." Amelia glanced sideways at Sean.
Sean spread his hands and said, "I've been dragged in the Swamp of Despair recently. This alone has consumed all my brains. I don't have time to care about business matters."
"People are more popular than people. Your Excellency the Baron is not only good at managing the territory, but also good at doing business. The silk clothing business is not only booming, it is almost exploding. Your Excellency the Baron has now become the noble ladies and ladies of the royal capital. The most talked about man in the boudoir, it is said that many noble ladies have spoken out and are willing to marry you." Amelia couldn't help laughing at the end.
Xiao En made a shocked expression and said: "I was a barbarian they despised half a year ago, why are you fighting to be my wife now? Couldn't it be for the endless silk clothes?"
"That's right, it's just to have endless silk clothes, haha... This is the most ridiculous joke I've ever heard." Amelia couldn't help laughing out loud as soon as she finished speaking.
Sean just pursed his lips and smiled, thinking in his heart, this is because you are ignorant, because he has seen things that are a hundred times more absurd than this. Still too simple.
What is the most fashionable thing about Valesta at the moment?
Nine out of ten people will answer silk clothing.
It was less than a year before and after the rise of silk clothing, but it became popular throughout Valesta. Those noble ladies and noble ladies are all proud of owning a set of silk clothing of their own.
Silk clothing is about to be praised by them to the sky. Not only does it have a luxurious appearance, but the material is as smooth as silk. You can't feel their existence when you wear it on your body. Even the toughness and strength are beyond imagination. For armor.
For the first time, those men not only did not reject this fashion that originally belonged to women, but vigorously pursued it.
Because that kind of silk clothing does show an unusual beauty on women, especially on those women with beautiful lines. It is definitely a visual enjoyment. In privacy, it adds a lot of fun. It has cultivated a group of loyal followers.
Their pursuit stimulated the madness of those women in a disguised form. After all, their dressing was not only for comparison between the same sex, but mainly to show their charm in front of the opposite sex.
Among the silk clothing, the most popular among the ladies and young ladies is silk underwear, which is as delicate and smooth as a girl's skin, and has the characteristics of being warm in winter and cool in summer.
Once used, it is difficult to bear the roughness of the sackcloth.
It is said that the special material used in silk clothing has ingredients that are healthy for people, and wearing it often can make people's skin smooth and shiny like silk clothing.
What exactly are the ingredients, so far no one has clarified.
However, most of the ladies who have worn silk clothing praised it, reflecting that their skin seemed to have become fairer and more attractive to varying degrees, attracting more people to pursue it.
Correspondingly, it is its high price. A set of tailor-made silk clothing, from head to toe, cannot be taken off without a thousand royal gold coins.
This is far beyond the spending power of most families. An ordinary family of five cannot earn this figure even if they do not eat or drink for ten years.
Now silk clothing is an out-and-out luxury, only those ladies with social status can afford it.
Even so, there is still priceless.
At the beginning, those who could find a way to order a set of silk clothing were very well-connected people, and the order period was as long as three weeks.
Many people hold real money and have nowhere to go.
It was not until the opening of Valesta's silk clothing store called Princess Wardrobe that the situation eased, but it is not so easy to own a set of silk clothing of your own.
It is said that the orders for silk clothing made by the Princess Wardrobe have been scheduled for half a year.
There are more rich people in the Byron League than you can imagine.
Many used to have money and no place to spend it, so they could only be buried in the cellar in the backyard to mold.
The emergence of silk clothing has opened up a whole new world, making those women suddenly realize that real gold and silver can be worn on the body.
No, wearing real gold and silver on their bodies looks too rich, which doesn't match their noble status and unique taste.
After silk clothing, all kinds of weird luxury goods have emerged.
There is no need for Sean and the others to deliberately guide them. Those traditional jewelers will try their best to process more exquisite and luxurious jewelry, so that they can match the expensive silk clothing, right?
The pursuit of profit is the instinct of all businessmen, and there is no need to teach it at all. They only need someone to put a possibility in front of them, and they will automatically follow suit.
Naturally, other merchants in silk clothing have no way to think about it. After all, the Yongye Army Leader has a monopoly position in terms of raw materials. The bird hunting spider silk produced in the territory is not enough for himself, so naturally there is no surplus to sell to other merchants.
These merchants can only find another shortcut. On the one hand, they make the original fabrics smoother, and on the other hand, they inlay various precious jewelry materials on the clothes to increase their value.
Not to mention, there is still a big market for doing so.
After all, the luxury goods market of the Byron Union is in its infancy, and the supply is less than the demand, and silk clothing cannot be customized, so this kind of clothing can only be used as a substitute.
With the continuous expansion of Yongye military collar silk clothing, the market for this substitute will become smaller and smaller until it is completely squeezed out.
As one of the spokespersons of the princess wardrobe, Amelia's clothes are naturally all made by the leader of Yong Ye.
No matter how tight the supply of silk clothing is, there will be something for them to wear.
What's more, the order for silk clothing is tight, which is limited by the output of raw materials, which is only one aspect.
On the other hand, it is the starvation sales consciously created by the Yong Ye army leader. Because they are in a monopoly position, they can do this blatantly to keep the high price of silk clothing.
There is no anti-monopoly law in the Byron Alliance, and Sean will not foolishly remind Her Royal Highness the Princess Regent, even if the other party is his ally.
After all, the Yongye military leader will produce more and more monopoly products in the future, and if the anti-monopoly law is enacted, he will suffer the most by then.
After Sean opened up the situation in Valesta, he really didn't pay more attention there. Just based on Amelia's few words, he had already outlined the situation of his business in Valesta.
Yong Yejun's other businesses in Valesta, although not as popular as silk clothing, are not far behind, especially those related to people's livelihood such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
As I said before, the Byron Alliance is extremely polarized between the rich and the poor. Ninety percent of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of one percent of people, and most of the one percent of people are concentrated in people like Wallace. In a big city like Tata, even if you don't live here for a long time, you will often come here for consumption.
And the relatively short history of the Byron Alliance, at least compared to the five thousand years of flower growers, is indeed far behind.
This makes many of their catering, clothing and other industries in an enlightened state. There are certain local characteristics of food, but they are relatively simple, and they cannot withstand the attack of the alien version of the flower meal produced under the influence of Sean.
And compared to silk clothing, food is more affordable in terms of price.
There are both high-quality and cheap food that the poor like, and expensive delicacies that the lords and nobles like.
Just like Xiao En's point of view at the beginning, getting money from rich people is the fastest way to get money.
In less than a year, the Eternal Night Army has established as many as one hundred various pubs, restaurants, and restaurants in Valesta, accounting for one-tenth of the Eternal Night Army's foreign trade share.
The Kingsley family, known for their wealth, has been dragged into a financial crisis. Up to now, the leader of the Yongye Army has not had the slightest financial pressure. It relies on the water channel of the Jacob River, which is continuously drawn from the Byron Alliance. Supplementary financial resources.
No matter how rich the Kingsley family is, they can't compare with most of the wealthy people in the Byron Alliance, can they?
In terms of financial resources, the leader of the Yongye army has never been afraid of the Kingsley family.
The two chatted for a while, and Amelia turned the topic to the real thing: "How does the Baron plan to deal with the 200,000 troops of the Kingsley family?"
The topic finally came.
Sean didn't answer Amelia, but threw the question back, "What's your opinion, Your Royal Highness?"
"Your Highness's opinion is to listen to the Baron's opinion first, and then take the opinion. After all, we are allies. Can't we tear down the corners of our own family?" Amelia's Taiji Baguazhang is self-taught.
"My opinion is that I want to hear His Highness's opinion first." Sean is also a master in this regard.
"It's meaningless to say that, Lord Baron. Your Highness sent me here just to hear what His Excellency really thinks, and then consider how to respond to Duke Buck's request." Amelia showed a trace of dissatisfaction on her smooth face. Sending her here under such circumstances has already shown enough goodwill, and Xiao En is still pushing back and forth, which is a bit too much.
"I think Ma'am misunderstood me." Sean explained with a smile, "The Kingsley family is a member of the Byron Alliance after all, and in a battle of armies, killing their 200,000 troops is the same thing. Deliberately defrauding their 200,000 troops is another matter. Her Royal Highness pays attention to the relationship between our allies, and we Yongye must also pay attention to the feelings of our allies. We are discussing this issue. If we can know Where is the bottom line of Your Highness, so that we can formulate a strategy that can achieve the best of both worlds, if we don't know that Ms. Amelia is on the way here, we will have to send a special envoy to Valesta."
"Your Highness will be very happy to know that the baron is so considerate." Amelia showed a sincere smile, like a rose blooming, dazzling.
Regardless of whether Xiao En said the truth or polite words, at least he showed that he attached great importance to the relationship with the Princess Regent's ally. As long as it is confirmed that this is still the case, the remaining interest issues can be discussed slowly.
As long as the interests of both parties are aligned, the alliance relationship is indestructible.
So far, there has been no irreconcilable conflict of interest between the two parties, and I believe that the Kingsley family's expedition to the Eastern Army is no exception.
Maybe Xiao En himself didn't realize it, but his response just now had sent out a potential signal that the leader of the Yong Ye army didn't have a strong heart to eat the 200,000 troops.
Otherwise, it should not be the first to seek the opinion of the princess regent, but to release a strong signal at the first time, so that his allies can react. This has nothing to do with people, but normal reasoning.
Sean's time to become a leader is too short after all, and he needs to explore many things by himself. Compared with Amelia, who has been struggling in this industry for many years, he still lacks a bit of enthusiasm.
Amelia, who had confidence in her heart, restrained her smile, and said with a solemn expression: "His Royal Highness is in this position now, and you need to consider not only your own interests, but also the overall interests. The threat of Odin orcs is obvious to all. Don't look at it." They are now fighting to the death, once our Byron Alliance falls into civil strife, they will unite as soon as possible, and go south in a large scale, and there will be no eggs under the nest. If the entire Byron Alliance falls into war, it will not be good for us."
"Your Highness, what do you mean that the war can no longer be escalated?" Xiao En asked conclusively.
"That's right, the war can no longer be escalated. The Kingsley family's Eastern Army can be weakened, and the Kingsley family can dig flesh, but it must not be allowed to collapse, otherwise the entire Byron Alliance will be involved, and it will never be able to Control." When Amelia came, she was obviously authorized by the princess regent, and said directly without even thinking about it.
