Originally, Parker was complacent because of the strength of his territory, but when he heard that a powerful Count was about to launch a war of annexation to the outside world, he was still proud.

Polante looked at Parker with a reassuring look and said, "So the subordinates suggested that the lord take the initiative and take the lead in annexing the surrounding territory, so that the Nanshan Territory can become stronger." This was the solution that Polante thought about for a long time before coming up with.

In fact, at the beginning, Polantra told Parker to start a foreign war just to save the 20,000 sets of weapons and equipment. However, when Parker wanted to ask the reason, he didn't know what to say at all, so he had to use the drag-on technique.

Now he racked his brains to think about it to make a lie, and even he didn't even know that he had such a smart side, he was secretly proud of it.

"Okay, after returning to the castle, I will summon other noble officials to discuss it." Even if Porant talked about this, Parker's cautious attitude decided to go back and discuss it.

"Yes, I obey the order!" Porant also knew the character of his lord. Parker made such a statement and said that he was already very moved, but because of his caution, he did not make a decision immediately.

Five days later, Parker led a transport convoy back to the castle, and despite the fatigue of the journey, he summoned his main subordinates to discuss matters.

After asking Polante to say his analysis, Parker asked in front of his subordinates: "What do you think of the advice of the Knight Captain?"

The civil affairs officer Lord Bert replied first: "Report to Lord Lord, my subordinates have not received any news that Baxter's territory sent troops to attack the surrounding territories. What the Knight's chief said was not a speculation, right?"

Bert's problem can be regarded as a loophole in Poland's speculation. If the Baxter territory did not send troops to attack other surrounding territories, Poland's argument would not be tenable.

When Polante heard Bert's words, he saw the lord's suspicious eyes and hurriedly said, "There are no troops to attack now, but by the time the Baxter territory sends troops, it will be too late."

Then he turned to Parker and bowed, "Lord, you must believe in your subordinates. What you said is for the good of Lord."

"Okay, Master Knight, don't be anxious, I know you are for my own good." Parker comforted Polante's anxious look, then asked the others, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Lord, my subordinates oppose the launch of annexation wars from the outside." This is the speech of Kaili, the priest master who is in charge of religious sacrifices in the territory of Nanshan.

When Parker saw that his priest master who was in charge of the Mayan gods spoke, he asked solemnly: "Sacrifice, what's your reason?"

"King Lord Qi, my subordinates believe that it is precisely because of the rebellious behavior of the Xia Kingdom in the south that the power of the territory of Xia in the south that the power of the land should be more at ease, so as to avoid trouble." After talking about his reasons, Kaili kept silent.

"I agree with the advice of the Knights. Now the surrounding territories have become weak due to the plague. We should take advantage of the situation where the surrounding area has not responded to it and start the war first. If we wait, there will be no chance of the present." This is what the new treasurer Lord Babu said, and he is a young man.

The former treasurer Lord Andy died of a crime because of the assassination of Xia Kingdom. The current treasurer Babu is Andy's eldest son. After Andy's death, he inherited the position of treasurer under his father in Nanshan. The current Lord Babu is thinking about avenging his father.

But because of his limited ability, he could only use the power of his territory to realize his long-cherished wish. You should know that the Xia Kingdom Leader in the south is very powerful. Only when the Nanshan Leader becomes stronger than the Xia Kingdom Leader, can he be able to avenge his father's revenge.

"Lord Bab is right." Porant nodded to Bab, and then said: "Lord, even if the Baxter territory in the east does not send troops, our territory should launch annexation war. This opportunity is only once!"

"Lord Lord, Lord Bab and Lord Polante are both good, but Lord Lord has thought about it. Even if we capture the surrounding territory, how should we manage it?" Bert did not object or agree, but only raised more realistic questions.

"This..." Parker did not answer, because he did not think of this, so he didn't know how to answer. As for the other powerful officials present, they looked at each other and didn't know how to solve this problem.

After coming over for a while, Polante looked around and saw that no one came to answer this question. Although he did not understand territory management, he still raised his own question: "How did Xia Guoling solve this problem?"

Hearing Polante's question, Parker's eyes lit up. Yes, he didn't know about them, and it would be over if someone knew about them. He immediately made a decision and ordered: "Captain Knight, step up the recruitment, train soldiers, and be prepared!"

"Yes! I obey the order!" Polante happily took the order when he heard his lord make a decision.

Parker then ordered: "Babu Finance Minister, I ordered you to form a caravan and go to the trading city of Xia Guoling. While opening trade, you must figure out how Xia Guoling manages the territory within three months."

"Yes, my subordinates receive the order, Lord Lord is wise!" Babu also took the order happily, and he had a chance to personally go to the territory that he hated.

Not long after, the news that Xia Guoling established a commercial city outside the fortress spread quickly.

In this regard, most of the territories are very indifferent and indifferent, so they still do whatever they should do; but some territories have seen opportunities and want to take this to find out the secret of the power of Xia Kingdom.

For example, the Baxter territory that Parker and Polante are worried about is a territory that is very concerned about Naturalized City.

Count Aubrey Baxter is the lord of an earl-level territory near the ocean south of the Baron River, with ambitions.

In fact, most of Poland's speculations were correct. Before and after the plague, Aubrey Baxter saw that the annexation war launched by the Xia Kingdom was not punished, so he knew that his chance had come. When he learned the news, he locked himself in the castle and laughed and drank all day.

However, he also encountered the same problem as Nanshan Leader, that is, although he was able to conquer the surrounding territory, he didn't know how to manage it.

In the past, he launched wars of harassment and plunder very frequently, just to conduct temptations. In the end, he found that even if he could occupy it, he would give up because he could not manage it.

He could not have his nobles as lords of the occupied territory. What is the difference between that and now?

So after Aubrey knew that the Continental Convention had expired, he did not immediately launch an annexation war as Polante speculated.

But now, after Aubrey learned that Xia Guo had opened the Trade City, he immediately asked the financial officer to form a caravan. Like Parker's order, while checking what goods this trade city sells, he also had to figure out the secrets that Xia Guo could manage multiple territories.

As for asking directly? Neither Parker nor Aubrey had considered this method. If they knew such a powerful secret, they would not have told anyone else.

Even if someone can tell you, they can't believe it!

Therefore, when Yang Song discovered that the Naihua City outside Shanhaiguan began to flourish, he knew that the plan had been completed!

I just don’t know when the powder keg outside the pass broke out.

But don’t worry, as long as the plan goes smoothly, the war outside the pass will be a matter of time sooner or later.

Yang Song has now put his energy into China, which is related to the fact that he learned from the system that Guihua City is flourishing.

"Ding~!"

"Congratulations to the host! The mission is completed!"
Chapter completed!
