Full Time Mage Lord

Chapter 285 Muddy Waters I

Half a month later, the first caravan from the Kingdom of Freidham arrived in the Morrowind Territory.

During the half-month period, under the command of Reiner, the entire Morrowind Territory was not idle. The mines on three sides of the mountain started construction at the same time, especially the newly added mines to the west and south. All the miners were already in place.

This time, the entire Morrowind Territory has mobilized more than half of its manpower, almost all the young people in the entire Morrowind Territory. The work in the mining area is no stranger to everyone, but what is lacking now is equipment.

When the first batch of excavation equipment was delivered, the mine in the west entered full-speed operation that day.

The mine in the west is the closest to the border of the Kingdom of Friedham, so it is also the mining area with the highest priority.

The merchants from the Freidham Kingdom's caravan who came here to visit were also shocked by the efficiency of the mining operations here.

They only stayed in the Morrowind Territory for just three days, and from the mining area in the Morrowind Territory, they produced raw ore that filled all their carriages, and they were also mineral ingots that had been processed by a primary family.

For Billrick, nearly a month later, when the first caravan he sent returned to the royal capital, they brought back not only a full load of iron ore, but also Billrick's excitement, and Prime Minister Zuo. Durav's trust in Xiu Yin is even further.

A small Morrowind Territory solved the iron ore source of the entire Kingdom of Freidham, which no one expected.

After the Flame Crown Empire opened the borders of the Kingdom of Freidham with a fierce aggressive attitude, it approached the Royal City of Freedom all the way unstoppable before stopping its offensive, and was less than fifty kilometers away from the Royal City. Start camping.

Almost half of the northern part of the Kingdom of Freidham actually fell under the rule of the Flame Crown Empire.

The trade routes to the north of the Kingdom of Freidham have also been severely affected, except for the road to Tianluo City, which is not convenient for transportation.

As one of the seven empires under the control of Qiyao Family, Yanmian Empire wanted to annex a medium-sized kingdom like Friedham Kingdom on its own. It was not that simple.

The remaining six empires looked on unkindly.

After Xiu Yin learned about the power of the entire continent, he could simply conclude that if there were only seven countries controlled by the Qiyao family left on the continent, then war would definitely break out among these seven countries.

But the current situation is that among the seven superpowers, there are dozens of small countries.

The Kingdom of Friedham is undoubtedly attracted by the Yanmian Empire. Under the guise of the peace and glory of the Qiyao family, the Kingdom of Friedham is nothing more than a piece of fat in the eyes of the Yanmian Empire.

Of course, direct annexation is impossible. Even now that the Yanmian Empire occupies part of the Kingdom of Freidham, there is a lot of controversy within the Qiyao family.

But the plan of the Flame Crown Empire is also very simple, which is to force the Kingdom of Fredam to surrender. From both the inside and the outside, the Kingdom of Fredam is under pressure from big powers. Among them, the lack of iron resources is the reason why the Kingdom of Fredam is squeezing the Kingdom of Fredam. One of the means of Redem Kingdom.

Originally, there were very few kingdoms in the country that could produce iron ore. Because of the first unequal treaty, the first item listed in the Yanmian Empire was compensation for iron ore.

Even if the Kingdom of Freidham still wants to resist in the end, if it can't even provide enough weapons and equipment for its soldiers, then how can it compete with the Flame Crown Empire?

Moreover, the Flame Crown Empire has long known that the people of the Kingdom of Freidham are martial, but if all the people resist in a military-style manner, even the Flame Crown Empire's combat power will be damaged to a certain extent.

This is something that the Emperor of the Flame Crown Empire cannot tolerate, so a way is needed to curb the source of the power of the Kingdom of Freidham, and that is to exhaust the resources of the Kingdom of Freidham.

Due to the pressure from the Flame Crown Empire, very few organizations or individuals are left to trade with the Kingdom of Freidham. The lack of the most basic iron ore is the biggest blow to the Kingdom of Freidham.

But when a convoy of iron ore-laden convoys slowly passed in front of Prime Minister Zuo, Durav's eyes, which had been smiling and narrowed into a line, suddenly became very bright at that moment...

After sending away a group of Freidham Kingdom's caravans, Xiuyin and the others got a lot of money.

This is the first time Xiu Yin has seen the income gained from trade.

"If we could trade with more countries..."

Of course, Xiu Yin just thought about it this way. The current Morrowind Territory could meet the iron ore needs of the Kingdom of Freidham at its limit.

When the Morrowind Territory obtained the first pot of gold in national trade, Xiu Yin did not forget another place.

Huangshui Town.

This Huangshui Town, which was taken from the hands of Marquis Fell, has already reached the time of sowing in spring.

As the lord of this place, Xiu Yin had to come here for an inspection when Huangshui Town, which was a granary, was at this time of year.

The people of Huangshui Town were still very indifferent to Xiu Yin's management as before.

Xiuyin is not in a hurry for this. First, he has not been in charge of this place for a long time. In addition, as a "rebel", it should be normal for him to be unpopular.

The vast majority of the population in Huangshui Town is engaged in farming, and a small number of people are engaged in business activities in the town.

However, after Xiu Yin's forces settled here, they immediately followed the example of the Morrowind leader and set up an exchange in Huangshui Town. The relevant grain products in the town could only be traded externally through the exchange.

This approach caused dissatisfaction among some merchants in the town who originally controlled the grain trade.

Where there is light there will be shadows, and where there are shadows there will be darkness.

In a dark and inconspicuous room in Huangshui Town, several people moved their figures and discussed ulterior words.

"It's just a small lord. We were originally loyal subjects of Lord Feier!"

"Yeah, a young brat, why should we listen to him!"

"But now that the town's guards are under his control, it would be unwise for us to conflict with them head-on."

"Hmph, don't worry, I've found a very good opportunity. As long as you do as I say..."

The news that Xiu Yin was coming to Huangshui Town was announced in advance, mainly to show that Xiu Yin cared about the townspeople of Huangshui Town, but whether the townspeople of Huangshui Town would appreciate it or not was another matter.

According to the plan, when everything was going smoothly for Xiu Yin in Morrowind, he only took Charlotte and set off towards Huangshui Town.
