Chapter 1447: Chapter 9: The Tis Are Advancing_3
“Rember to control the prices. Before the dividends are distributed, the prices of unsold goods can’t collapse!”
Hudson instructed.
In the feudal era, information transmission across different regions wasn’t very smooth. With the size of the Near East Developnt Bank, it could already influence the prices of goods in certain regions.
Inflating prices isn’t realistic, but raising the prices of certain goods in the Northern Continent to the level of those in the South Continent would still be recognized by shareholders.
With this approach, Hudson, being the major shareholder, naturally benefits the most, and the kingdom’s shareholders can also gain so advantages, while the shareholders in the South Continent are at the most disadvantage.
Of course, with the substantial economic strength of the major chambers of comrce, coupled with a mature business network, they are still capable of slowly liquidating these goods.
…
The influx of large populations has affected all aspects of the Snow Moon Territory.
More and more towns and villages are appearing, grassland areas are gradually decreasing, and roads and farmlands are increasing every day.
The processing and manufacturing industries, previously abandoned due to labor shortages, are now gradually starting up.
The newly discovered mineral veins are also included in the developnt plan. Of course, the miners are mainly Orc Slaves.
During the defeat of the Orc Empire, the Kingdom’s Army captured many prisoners. In line with the principle of the heavens having a good life, these prisoners were all demoted to slaves and sold at low prices to nobles in frontier regions to restore production.
This is also progress; previously, they would simply be killed. Now that Alpha Kingdom has grown stronger, Noble Lords dare to hold a large number of Orc Slaves.
With these cannon fodder charging at the forefront of production, the work the serfs engage in has beco more technical—like slting.
The slting technology accumulated in the Mountain Domain is now being further developed. Not only steel can be slted, but mainstream minerals such as gold, silver, and copper are also included in the developnt scope.
The advantage of having a vast territory is evident, unlike the limited area of the Mountain Domain where finding an iron mine was considered lucky.
In Snow Moon Territory, mainstream minerals are basically distributed widely. The specific reserves are unknown, but anyway, they’re sufficient for short-term needs.
Hudson even discovered several Magic Crystal Mines, but considering the Kingdom Governnt is very poor and the adverse impact of acting against the current, the mines have not been exploited.
These are minor issues, with the Magic Crystals buried underground—not going to run away by themselves. Mining them later is just the sa.
Overall, the main factor restricting the developnt of Snow Moon Territory remains the lack of labor force.
With a population of 1.3 million, even if it increased by 13 million, Hudson wouldn’t mind.
Of course, if there were indeed so many people, the Orc Empire would be in trouble.
It wasn’t a matter of pursuing victory to annihilate the Orc Empire directly; apart from the Kingdom Governnt being broke, a large part was because Hudson wasn’t ready.
With too few people controlled under his hand and limited territories that could be controlled, maximizing benefits would be difficult.
Prematurely destroying the Orc Empire would only benefit the nurous old aristocrats of the kingdom.
If he had enough strength in hand, Hudson would absolutely not mind continuing the war, even at the risk of the Kingdom Governnt going bankrupt.
Using a governnt bankruptcy in exchange for the downfall of the Orc Empire, 99% of the Kingdom Aristocrats would not refuse.
Winter cultivation is in full swing, and the post-war Near East land is bursting with a different kind of vitality.
anwhile, the neighboring Orc Empire presents a different scenario. The aftermath of defeat has finally erupted.
The heavily damaged Imperial and King Courts have lost the power to dominate various tribes, and the Orc Empire has entered a multi-party governance era.
To reduce internal conflicts, all major clans of the Orc Empire have entered the imperial decision-making level.
This political concession indeed promoted the developnt of various species within the Orc Empire, but it hard the Four Great Royal Courts and the Seven Great King Courts severely.
With fewer smaller clans paying protection money, everyone is having a hard ti this winter. And right at this critical mont, a “Magic Cataclysm” broke out.
Compared to the Human Race countries, the disaster in the Orc Empire is purely incidental.
However, with the vast, scarcely populated grasslands, by the ti each tribe realized sothing was wrong, the Magic Cataclysm had already spread.
According to the original zonal governance mode, if a catastrophe occurred within the realm of a certain Royal Court, that Royal Court was responsible for organizing the suppression.
Now it’s different; a large number of species have gained autonomy. The Royal Courts have lost the right to collect protection money, and likewise, they have lost the obligation to maintain grassland stability.
Each minding their own affairs, no one cares about the troubles of others, shockingly watching the Magic Cataclysm spread.
It wasn’t until the situation got out of control, and the Magic Cataclysm spread to their own doorstep, that a group of Orc Major Clans gathered for a eting to discuss counterasures.
“The Undead army on the grassland is growing increasingly large. If we let them ravage further, it will eventually lead to a major catastrophe.
If no one contributes, then let’s all wait for death together!”
The Hawkman Emperor said angrily.
The region where the Magic Cataclysm broke out wasn’t far from the Hawkman Court, with only a few dium-sized species in between.
Originally hoping to observe the situation, the unlucky tribes in the middle were directly wiped out by the Undead army.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, they had already missed the best ti to suppress it. The developed Undead army posed a serious threat to the survival of the Hawkman Tribe.
If it weren’t for the quick evacuation of the border Hawkman Tribe, the Hawkman Tribe might have already suffered heavy losses.
Deep inside, the Hawkman Emperor had made up his mind. If the other tribes are unwilling to contribute, he will directly take his tribesn and run.
