Chapter 49: Thinking

As the child of the southern lord, Chen Heng has a pretty good relationship with the northern lords as a group.
The beginning of this relationship originated from the friendship between Chen Heng and Kuruddo.
Although it is not apparent, in reality, Kurud's family has a knight who is the leader among the northern lords.
Therefore, through Kurdo, Chen Heng was able to enter the circle of the northern lords and visit the old knight Shi Lai.
This is the first stepping stone.
Later, in the previous six months , in order to reverse his own economic situation, Chen Heng also reached cooperation with many northern lords.
The northern lords were generally very poor.
This is because the north is close to the desert and needs to be prepared for war all year round. On the other hand, the unique climate in the north leads to low productivity of the land there. For the same amount of land, the grain production is far less than that in the south.
But this does not mean that there is no place worth developing in the north.
Before this, Chen Heng personally went to the territory where the Kurudo family was located to investigate, conducted field investigations, and finally came to some conclusions.
Although the North is poor, it is not without any production.
First of all, there were a lot of furs from that place, as well as various foreign slaves from the desert.
Furs can be sold to nobles, and those foreign slaves can also be widely used in various manors to work in them.
As long as these things can be transported to the south, huge profits can be made.
In the past, it’s not that no one realized its value.
However, the terrain in the north is too complex and too closed, and the road itself is difficult to travel on.
In addition, the place is filled with a large number of thieves and aliens, which makes it too dangerous.
If the caravan is not strong enough, it is easy to get lost while walking in it, and the danger is too great.
In addition, the same thing is also found in the territory controlled by Princess Orliman.
After weighing the pros and cons, the merchants would rather pay a higher price to go to Princess Orliman's territory than go a longer way to the northern lord's territory.
In response to this situation, Chen Heng also made some efforts.
He borrowed the identity of Kurdo, first hired several lords of nearby roads at a high price, then walked there personally, and barely opened up a small trade route.
Through Baron Kailin's connections, he could purchase large quantities of food and ironware that the north urgently needed at low prices. He could also use Kurud's connections to purchase furs and slaves from the northern lords at low prices...
You can make huge profits in just one round.
A considerable portion of the profits earned will be paid into the pockets of the northern lords in the form of employment.
As time goes by, a miniature interest ecosystem is formed.
When a person can bring you benefits and advantages, you will look at this person differently than before.
Chen Heng was originally a very good person, and under this circumstance, the relationship between him and the northern lords would naturally be better.
What is foreseeable is that as time goes by, Chen Heng's influence among the northern lords will become even more terrifying.
These are Chen Heng’s bargaining chips and the power he can borrow.
At this moment, Chen Heng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The current situation of Kutu Kingdom instantly appeared in his mind.
As early as several years ago, in Kutu, the battle between Princess Oliman and another prince had already reached a climax.
The reason for this situation is, on the one hand, the tradition in Kutu that the princes fight each other and the winner becomes the king, and on the other hand, the current King Kutu is seriously ill and paralyzed in bed.
Under such circumstances, supporters of both sides drew their swords against each other and the struggle became more intense.
This generation of Kutu King had only three children in total. In addition to Orliman and Vinar, a pair of sisters with the same father and mother, there was only another prince.
Among them, Vinal had almost no hope because he was born too late and because of his own personality.
The final candidate for the throne will most likely fall between Oriman and another prince.
Vinar's advantage is that he is based in the north, has his own army, his mother is the queen, and he has outstanding abilities, so he has been the focus of attention since he was a child.
If she had not been a woman, the fight for the throne would have ended long ago and would not have lasted so long.
The other prince was born to a princess from a neighboring country. He had the support of his mother's family. In addition, he was born very early and was the only male heir to the current Kutu royal family. Therefore, he gained the support of a considerable number of domestic nobles.
In general, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, and both have the potential to reach the top, and they generally maintain a balance.
In this situation, the power of the Northern Lords is of self-evident importance to them.
Although the northern lords are closed and backward, they are still nobles after all. They have been fighting against the desert aliens for a long time, and their military force is definitely the strongest in Kutu.
If such a powerful group of forces can express their support for a certain person, the effect will be obvious.
In this situation, Chen Heng, who was close to the Northern Lord and could influence the Northern Lord's decision to a certain extent, his value suddenly increased.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng's eyes lit up.
"What's wrong?"
At this moment, in front of him, Kurdo was still standing there, looking at Chen Heng in front of him, feeling a little confused.
"fine."
Chen Heng turned around, smiled, and then asked, "Is Teacher Colibo back?"
"not yet."
Kurudot shook his head and sighed, "According to the last reply, it may take a long time for him to come back."
"All right."
Chen Heng sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
He had originally planned to start with Colibo to see if he could gain some results.
After all, at present, as Coribo's student, Coribo is also a very important card in his hand.
If he could influence Colibo's thoughts to a certain extent, then his plan would be easy to achieve to a certain extent.
As a knight guarding the kingdom, as long as Coribo is willing to publicly express his views and publicly support someone, it can easily influence many people and bring huge advantages to one of the parties.
As a student of Coribo, this identity is also Chen Heng's most important card at present.
Unfortunately, more than a month ago, Coribo left Kutu City due to some personal matters. No one knows where he went or when he will come back.
Standing there, Chen Heng was thinking.
"Speaking of which, Princess Orliman usually doesn't go to Kutu, but she suddenly came back recently. What happened?"
Chen Heng's face was calm, and this thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
At this moment, he had a feeling in his heart.
With Orliman's return to Kutu City, the situation in Kutu City seems to be changing again.
