The agreement reached between Sean and King Lowry was relatively friendly and broad. They signed a series of trade agreements. On the overall situation, I dare not say that it will not change at all, at least the impact is not as big as imagined.

There are differences between King Laurie and Princess Sophia after all. Especially after Sean married Princess Sophia, some things should be paid more attention to.

In order to avoid suspicion, Sean took the initiative to abolish some non-essential and sensitive institutions of the Evernight Army in the royal capital of Valesta, and also allowed King Lowry to invest in some industries on a large scale.

For example, the Eagle Telegraph System in Dawn Tavern was directly sold to King Laurie at cost price.

As for whether some things took the opportunity to move from the light to the dark, that is something only Sean himself knows.

In the short term, the interests of the Eternal Night Army Leader will be damaged by doing so. Not only will the newly established influence in the royal capital of Valesta shrink, but even the trade volume will be affected.

But in the long run, there are still benefits.

Since some sensitive things have been removed, even if the relationship between the two parties deteriorates in the future, it will not be easy for King Laurie to find fault with it, even if he has to tear his face and attack the leader of the Evernight Army with all his strength.

, and the impact they received was relatively limited.

Sean is not optimistic about the situation in the royal capital of Valesta. Now is just the eve of the storm. For a long time to come, this place will be the center of the storm for the entire Byron Alliance.

The new Pope St. George of the Holy Ether Church's missionary mission to the whole alliance was interrupted by Princess Sophia's high-pressure methods.

Pope St. George and Saint Enid who bewitched King Laurie were even driven back to St. Andrew's Land.

But King Laurie was deeply poisoned, and Princess Sophia tried her best, but not only failed to change his mind, but made the relationship between the two parties even worse.

Unless there are special circumstances, King Laurie basically does not meet Princess Sophia.

Once Princess Sophia leaves the royal capital, you know with your ass that the Holy See, headed by Pope St. George, will definitely launch a new round of counterattack.

As the saying goes, only when the tree is straight can you find a way to support it.

When the tree grows crooked unknowingly, external forces have little effect.

The matter of getting pregnant before marriage made it impossible for Princess Sophia to continue to postpone the marriage. Once she got married, she would no longer be a pure member of the Lancelot royal family. At that time, she would not be able to easily interfere with Lancelot.

Special royal affairs.

In addition to external reasons, there are also problems within the royal family.

The royalist faction can still share the same enemy when they have the foreign enemy of the princess faction.

When they expel the Princess Faction, they will inevitably fall into an internal struggle for power.

This is not only a painful period of power change, but also a manifestation of King Lowry's lack of internal control.

The change of power is not as simple as a coronation ceremony and handing over a symbolic sword of courage.

It also involves a series of things.

Prince Laurie, no, if King Laurie is smart enough, he shouldn't be so anxious to become a princess. Instead, he should hire Princess Sophia, who has resigned from the post of regent, as his first prime minister. With her help

Next, it is not too late to spend ten to eight years to stabilize one's political power, and then consider de-princessing the issue.

Although he was born into a noble family, he was still too young.

His temperament has not yet been completely formed, and his skills have not been sharpened.

That's right.

When Princess Sophia was forced to assume the position of regent, it was true that she was not even as old as King Laurie is now, but the two people grew up in different environments.

Princess Sophia grew up in the Broken Blood Castle, which is like a military camp, so she is naturally more mature than her peers.

The most important thing is that there was Archduke Cedric standing behind her at that time. Isn't her Knights of the Iron Rose the best proof?

They are all made up of direct descendants of knights from the Blood Castle of Broken Mouth. No one can tell how much of Princess Sophia's many decisions in her early years were due to the will of Archduke Cedric. Everyone is just turning a blind eye.

Only eyes.

King Lowry wanted to run as soon as he learned to walk.

When the time comes, it will be inevitable to fall down.

King Lowry showed no intention of hiring Princess Sophia as his Prime Minister.

Princess Sophia, who has been feeling angry recently, has no intention of posting it.

After her wedding to Sean, she packed up her rituals and influence and prepared to fully withdraw to her princess fiefdom.

Princess Sophia is using this method to express her anger.

She has worked conscientiously for the Lancelot royal family for so many years, and yet she has received such a reward. It would be a lie to say that she is not angry or annoyed at all.

In the next period of time, the run-in with Sean and the Yongye military leader will take up most of Sophia Liya's energy.

After working with the Yongye Army Leader for such a long time, Princess Sophia feels that her understanding of the Yongye Army Leader is still superficial.

To be more precise, the development speed of Yongye Military Leader far exceeded her imagination.

Her understanding is always in a backward state, and she doesn't know what kind of surprises the current leader of the Yongye Army has waiting for her.

Thinking of this, Princess Sophia was a little excited and eager to try.

Sean and Princess Sophia took the Princess ship together and sailed upstream along the Jacob's River.

First, we went to Princess Sophia’s fiefdom.

Although the second wedding was not held here, we changed the carriage and toured around the major cities.

The main purpose is to announce the good news of Princess Sophia's marriage to the people in the territory, and also to introduce the male master, Earl Sean, to the officials and nobles in various cities.

This is a common method used by the Lords and Nobles of the entire Byron Alliance. Whether it is a new ruler or a wedding, some lords will even send their trusted ministers every once in a while, or personally inspect their territories.

King Lowry, who has just ascended the throne, is also preparing to visit the territories directly under the royal family.

On the one hand, this is to allow the people below to get to know their new ruler as soon as possible.

On the other hand, it also allows rulers to have a more intuitive understanding and knowledge of the territorial cities they rule.

This refers to those rulers who are relatively diligent. Some lords only visit their territories a handful of times throughout their lives. As for the operating conditions of their territories, you can imagine.

Of course, running frequently in one's territory does not mean that one's territory is managed well.

Some people who like luxury not only indulge in extravagance along the way, but also eat, drink and have fun without restraint and entertain guests at every place. As a result, they greatly increase the local financial burden. Some territories were originally developing well.

Let them run a full fiscal deficit.

Whether a method is effective or not depends on whose hands it is.

After ten years of continuous improvement, Princess Sophia's fiefdom has been marked with a strong personal label.

This is no longer a simple lord enfeoffment system, but has a strong city-state flavor.

The top decision-makers of the city are no longer the hereditary lords and nobles, but a specially hired mayor and a municipal system centered on it.

Each municipal system affects more than just a city. Even the surrounding affiliated villages and towns will be affected by the relevant policies formulated by it to a greater or lesser extent.

For example, if there is a large mineral deposit near a city, most of the municipal system will be resource-based, focusing on the excavation of this mineral deposit.

If a city is suitable for large-scale grape cultivation, then most of the areas around the city are mainly engaged in grape cultivation and winemaking.

If it is suitable for large-scale cultivation of food, they will go all out to develop food.

This relatively professional development model is inseparable from the increasingly convenient transportation conditions in recent years.

Only when goods can be transported out can they dare to develop like this. Otherwise, they can only let their excess crops rot in the ground.

The Yongye Army Leader is the main buyer of the crops produced in Princess Sophia's fiefdom in recent years, and one-third of them have been eaten by them.

This situation may continue for a long time in the future.

Although the leader of the Yongye Army now owns the Donau Plain, turning this place into a granary will not happen overnight.

What's more, they now have another big food consumer.

So far, the number of Kentana barbarians who have been sent to the northern fortress for transformation has reached 30,000.

It's not that the Yongye Army leaders don't want to speed up the transformation, but that they consume too much food.

The consumption of 30,000 Kentana barbarians can already keep up with the consumption of more than 100,000 Andis people.

Transportation in the northern fortress has always been a big problem. Fortunately, the herds on the Colt grassland outside the fortress have grown to a large scale, which can alleviate some of the pressure.

The number of Kentana barbarians in the east of the Andis Mountains is increasing rapidly. The propaganda team composed of ancestral spirit soldiers sent by the leader of the Yongye Army is very powerful. Under the brainwashing of the ancestral spirits and the temptation of rich materials, those simple and single-minded Kentana barbarians

The Tana barbarians had no doubt that he was there and began to move south in large numbers.

Now, no less than a hundred Kentana barbarians enter the eastern reaches of the Andes Mountains every day.

The leader of the Yongye Army is now in both happiness and pain.

A race of natural warriors like the Kentana barbarians, who have been transformed through faith-based methods and become loyal and loyal, naturally hope that the more the better.

But with their large influx, their logistical supply pressure is increasing.

The number of Kentana barbarians registered by the Eternal Night Army leader alone now exceeds 130,000.

Judging from the current situation, it is not difficult to break through 200,000. This is basically consistent with the number of Kentana barbarians originally estimated by the Yongye Army leader.

The Kentana savages have a rough temperament and do not have the patience for intensive farming. For them, becoming a farmer living in a small area is more difficult than hunting a giant whale with bare hands.

It is also a wasteful thing.

Before the Yongye Army Leader does not have enough pasture to accommodate them, their food supplies will mainly have to rely on the Yongye Army Leader.
