Chapter one hundred and eighty worries
There is a shortage of food at any time, which is certain. Even though the northern border has a bumper harvest of potatoes today, it is just that the nobles have more food than they could confiscate in previous years. There is still a phenomenon of food among the civilians. It is almost impossible for all northern border people to not starve or get frozen.
It is impossible to survive the severe winter by storing, and only development can deal with difficulties.
It is still not enough to spend all the savings of the Mandalay family over the years and the funds they had not had time to bring in development and construction. The huge northern territory needs to be well operated, win people's hearts, and treat merchants from all directions well. This is what a wise leader must do, and it is also the best period for caravans to establish reciprocity relations.
I heard that when the real winter comes, the sea will be frozen and merchant ships cannot sail.
Lynn needs to be the most prepared for the arrival of winter. As for the Iron Throne and the attack on the Westeros, he actually has no such eager desire in his heart.
In other words, Lynn's goal has never been just to ascend to the Iron Throne. Since dominating Westeros is just a transition, not an ultimate, then who cares about a transitional goal?
When the northern border area solved his worries, there would be no difficulty in ruling this not-so-large continent.
Lin En was preparing to release all the seized merchants from the prison, without any grain of food himself, but the things the merchants came from could be replaced with expensive iron farm tools in Baigang City.
However, iron tools are actually a kind of semi-embargoed material in Westeros. You can buy some iron pots. If you praise the territory for selling weapons and cooked iron, and being caught by the territory owner, it is definitely the best excuse to plunder the entire caravan.
There are also things like bad horses and animals. If you want to develop agriculture in the north quickly, it is a pity that there are not many good horse farms on the entire continent. The people's horses have long been crossed into ugly mules by various hybrids, and there are even fewer decent horses that can't be found.
This matter can be discussed with Kompani. He is now the largest maritime business leader in Fishing Village Port. I heard that he is planning to develop in Baigang City recently.
Since he is an old acquaintance, Lynn can naturally give him a green light. There are some sea boats without business in the outer port. Since the maritime trade between the North and Dorn was opened, Kompany has suspended Ursos's maritime trade business and turned his attention to Dorn.
This guy has asked Shouhou to hand me in a few times to meet him, but unfortunately, Lynn has a lot of things recently and can't take time.
After finishing the matter of the vassal meeting, Lin En felt that today would be a good day to reminisce.
It is probably because I knew that Lynn needed food that could be stored for a long time and needed to open up the sales of his brewery on the three sisters islands. Kompany even found Old Hill to be a lobbyist, so that he could hand over the words, hoping to obtain a license from Dorn Sea Trade.
Lynn thought about how he established maritime trade with Dorn on the spot, but after thinking for a while, he seemed to have no clue or cause and effect. At that time, he just felt that Dorn in the south was vast and sparsely populated, and fertile, and must have rich resources.
The Dornese lacked iron ore and animal skins, which happened to be the strength of the northern border, so they asked several Baigang maritime merchants to try to go south along the east coast to see if they could build a stable trade relationship. Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly.
It is precisely because things are very simple that Lynn needs to strictly control this route. If every merchant ship can head south to Dorn, then the iron ore, animal skins, current potatoes, liquor and other things in the north will not be worth the money.
"Konpani wants to build a maritime business empire. Damn, the people from the small fishing village are so ambitious. I heard that he has built freight stations in several free trade cities in Ursos, and now he wants to get involved in Dorn. If he really has him, it's better to meet him and make some calculations for him. The one who guided him to go to Ursos was still the lord of this city? This should be counted as a share?"
The thin monkey heard the Lord sitting in the yard and muttering without any illness, and then disappeared in the darkness.
Leanna, who was standing beside her, heard this, and her brain failed instantly. She suddenly reached out and covered her forehead and eyes tightly, and murmured to herself, "Oh no, the applicant seems to have to understand even Haimao. I haven't found anyone to understand this yet-"
I never thought of taking all the benefits into my pockets in private. Since I came to this world, Lynn was alive here. He was a native of the North of Westeros and could not erase him from head to toe. He could not turn himself into a flower-planting family. In this case, it is natural to take care of his own people and treat the indigenous people here peacefully. You cannot place yourself from the perspective of the bystander just because your soul belongs to an outsider, and confront the whole world with one system, and mix yourself into an alien. The last thing is almost here.
Since the skinny monkey has already arranged a meeting with Kompany, Lynn doesn't have to worry about anything, and when and where.
Lin En, who had nothing to do, planned to continue investigating. The previous assassination incident in the bathhouse of the lord's mansion was also the case since that time, Lin En almost suffered from water phobia, not the kind in his previous life.
He did not reject the river water, but he did not dare to approach the water in the water. He tried his best to stay away from the rivers and lakes even in the sea of Baigang City.
However, I heard that the soldiers garrison conducted a large-scale investigation based on the clues left by the Shouhou, and finally found some clues.
It is related to what Lynn predicts, and this matter is related to the believers of God.
What's the matter? At first, it was the three-eyed crow, and then after the resurrection, Danny showed signs of being occupied by the King of Light. Now the assassination case involves the God of God again. He felt that he was not rejected by the people of Westeros, but was thought of by these high-ranking gods without trace.
Riding on the big green horse and carrying a fully armed guard regiment, he left Baigang City and went to the fishing village port castle to the south. This was Lynn's original territory and the place where the Golden Pig was most often stayed. If Lynn did not subconsciously summon it, the Golden Pig would spend half an hour every day outside of eating, and fly over the southern border of Baigang to stay at the fishing village port city where he was more familiar with.
Leanna, who was following him, rode a pony in the fishing village, and a maid from the lord's mansion was watching. The two of them were very happy to play. Now Leanna lives more and more like an ordinary girl from the northern border, not just a matriarch of the Mormon family.
This is actually a good phenomenon. The little bear girl is actually very miserable in the original plot, because her Moormon family patriarch and her sister died in Twin City with the young wolf lord Robb. She was forced to control a tough family at a young age. There is no weak patriarch in the barren Bear Island family, so she used to force her strongest side to others.
And now, the temporary peace finally has the opportunity to show his lively side.
Leanna rode a Dorn horse. The Dorn horse was small and strong, and was very suitable for thin and short women, but it was surprisingly fast, not inferior to the North War Horse.
The little bear girl, Leanna, had never ridden such an interesting horse, riding on the back of the pony, and she was smiling.
