"Then what?"

Looking at Chen Heng, Oliman looked solemn and then spoke.

She had already realized the importance of North-South trade.

However, before that, she realized more about the huge profits hidden in this.

After Chen Heng's explanation, she realized how important this trade was for those troubled northern lords.

"Then, the principality came forward to reward and support the lords who made meritorious contributions in the war."

Chen Heng then spoke: "In the past, most of the mainland territories ignored the wars launched by the northern lords in the north, thinking that this was the business of the northern lords himself."

"But in fact, if the lords in the north had not resisted the pressure from the desert in the north, the entire kingdom would have to face huge pressure, and those nobles would not have lived so easily."

Princess Oliman nodded silently.

Indeed, in the past, no one except a few people cared about the situation of the lords in the north.

Everyone thinks that they are resistant to alien races that originate in the desert, which is what they should do.

On the one hand, it is because things are not about oneself, and on the other hand, it is because according to the convention of this era, the affairs of one's own territory belong to oneself.

The lord has all the control over his territory, so he naturally has the obligation to surround him.

“Under normal circumstances, it’s naturally.”

Chen Heng then spoke: "But the situation in the north is unusual."

"It is not easy for the lords to resist pressure from the desert."

"If it continues to develop according to the current situation, the situation will be very bad."

“What will happen?”

Oliman asked subconsciously.

"War is something that requires investment. If the lords in the north cannot benefit from the war and cannot obtain assistance from the kingdom, then there will be only two results."

Chen Heng spoke softly and said: "Due to the continuous losses from afar, these northern lords will either collapse because of this, and the kingdom will lose the barrier to the north at this point, or let these northern lords find other ways out."

War requires costs.

Food, weapons, equipment, and even human resources are all costs.

When the gains in a war cannot offset losses, losses are inevitable.

And when the lords lose money because of this, they only have two choices left.

Either choose to die in a steady stream of losses, or find another way out.

"At that time, most of the northern lords will look for other ways out."

Chen Heng spoke softly and said with a sigh: "And what will they choose?"

“What would it be?”

Oliman subconsciously followed Chen Heng's thoughts and entered the thinking.

When the lords in the north cannot bear the continuous losses and choose to find another way out, what will their choice be?

The answer is actually very obvious.

"They will abandon their territory and lead their troops south."

Chen Heng whispered: "Since the war with the alien race cannot make up for his own losses, then he just needs to snatch it from other places."

"At that time, the lords in the north will inevitably go south and go to war with the other lords of Kutu."

"At that time, it will be a storm."

Oliman couldn't help but shivered.

A group of northern lords who could not bear the losses and had to go south would be a devastating result for Kutu.

In particular, they found that the army of the Southern Lord and Kutu were far easier to deal with than the alien races in the desert.

Although the lords in the north are poor, they are definitely the strongest of the group because they are facing war all year round.

In addition, by that time, they had no other way out, and the power they burst out was absolutely amazing.

At that time, no matter what the result is, the entire Kutu country will inevitably face huge storms.

Without the resistance of the lords in the north, the alien races in the desert will definitely take the opportunity to set off, putting the Kutu Kingdom under tremendous pressure.

Just when he thought of this consequence, Oliman couldn't help but tremble.

"So, even in order to avoid this result, the Kingdom must support the lords in the north and let them support them as much as possible."

Looking at Oliman, Chen Heng spoke softly and said.

"But, is it directly supported by the royal family?"

Oliman continued to speak and asked seriously.

"Of course this won't work."

Chen Heng shook his head and said, "The support for the lord in the north will inevitably cost a lot."

"If these expenses are completely supported by the royal family, they will inevitably lead to the decline of the royal family step by step and create opportunities for those lords."

"So, the lords from all over the country must also contribute."

"But, how should I do this?"

Oliman asked, with a serious attitude and a look of expectation.

Before she knew it, she had devoted herself to the conversation.

Chen Heng's conversation seemed to have opened her horizons at this point and took her to look at the problem from an angle she had never seen before.

This feeling was something she had never had before.

Therefore, before she knew it, her mood went from being casual, to being solemn, to her current expectation and seriousness.

"Under normal circumstances, it's naturally impossible."

Chen Heng continued to speak, looking at Oliman and said, "But there is one situation that is exceptional."

"That's, the opportunity to obtain territory."

"You can tell them that if they have the ability to take root in the desert and successfully defend that area, they will recognize them as lords of that area and give them the opportunity to become true nobles."

“It’s OK…”

Oliman was stunned and then suddenly realized.

Yes.

The nobles cherish the strength of their family very much. Under normal circumstances, they are never willing to waste any wealth of their family to support the lords in the north.

However, the territory is an exception.

In this world, no matter who it is, he is extremely eager for his own territory.

If you have the opportunity to acquire a territory and become a real noble, even if you need to pay something, you may be very moved.

Especially those who had no chance to inherit the territory, had no chance to become the second sons of the nobles, and even other children.

In order to obtain territory, they had to take their people to fight with the aliens in the desert and seize their territory.

These actions will indirectly reduce the pressure on the lords in the north and reduce the pressure they need to face.

The entire process does not require much money or effort.

What the kingdom needs to pay is only recognition of these lords.
