Above the Pirate King

At this time, Arthur was concentrating on dealing with the follow-up matters of the Three Kingdoms.

To be honest, there was not much direct money gain from conquering these three kingdoms, and King Oga's treasury had already been wiped out by war reparations.

The Kingdom of Hall and the Kingdom of Bell are well-known poor countries. This war also emptied the treasury for the purchase of arms!

But there were not many other gains. The Oga Kingdom was originally a well-known supplier of raw materials for fabrics. After acquiring this kingdom, the cost of St. Martin's fabrics dropped a lot!

The Kingdoms of Hall and Bell are also well-known major grain-producing countries. With the territories of these two kingdoms, the expansion of the Kingdom of St. Martin will not need to worry about food issues.

The biggest gains were the [-] population obtained from the Kingdom of Oga and the [-] population obtained from the Kingdom of Hall and the Kingdom of Bell.

There are many benefits brought by so many people. The increase in labor force, stimulating domestic demand, and abundant military resources are all benefits brought by population.

However, what needs to be solved first is the development of the island where the three kingdoms are located and the resettlement of the population.

It will take quite a long time. The Oga Kingdom is fine. The war did not last long, the scope of the war was not large, and the losses were relatively small. It also had a certain amount of infrastructure, and it developed quickly, and the population was easier to resettle.

But the Hall and Bell Kingdoms are more troublesome, because too many young and strong people died, and now most of the rest on the island are women, and it is a poor country with no basic facilities. If it wants to develop, it will take a long time. time.

However, these are troubles of happiness. Although the troubles take a long time, as long as they develop, the strength of the Kingdom of St. Martin will at least double!

at this time.

"Dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Arthur said without looking up.

"Your Majesty!" Brian walked in and said respectfully.

"Well, what's the matter?" Arthur put down the document in his hand first, and looked up.

"There is news from the World Government, which strongly condemns and warns us about our marriage with the Charlotte family! And because we have occupied the Oga Kingdom, we will also have to pay for the Oga Kingdom's heavenly gold in the future! Brian said in a deep voice.

"Oh!?" Hearing this, Arthur frowned slightly.

Brian pondered for a moment and said: "However...according to the information given to me by the "friends" I made in the world government last year, because the kingdom is too aggressive, the speed of development is too fast, and there are many unsafe This behavior made the five adults of the World Government feel threatened!"

"But considering that we are very active in paying the Heavenly Fund, we are only planning to limit the development of our kingdom. If we show restlessness in the future, the world government will take action!"

Brian's so-called friends are some small officials of the world government that he spent a lot of money to buy when he went to the world government to go through the formalities and pay the heavenly money last year.

Although the status of these small officials is not high, the news is quite flexible!

Their existence is also acquiesced by the world government, and their main function is to clearly convey the true meaning of the world government.

Just like this time, the world government wants to restrict and warn the Kingdom of St. Maarten, but how could they say so directly on the surface?

If you say it directly, then the world government is still shameless?

At this time, these small officials play a role, they can clearly convey the meaning of the world government!

Arthur thought for a while, and understood the meaning of the world government.

Probably because you have done too much recently, we have noticed you, but for the sake of your active contribution to the heavenly gold, I will give you a chance, I hope you will restrain yourself, if you do not restrain yourself, then the next... …Ha ha!

"Dong dong!"

At this time, the door was knocked again!

"Come in!"

Minister of Commerce Hughes walked in with a serious expression!

"Your Majesty!" Hughes said respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Arthur asked.

"Your Majesty, the several batches of important supplies ordered by our kingdom from other places were all intercepted by the navy for various reasons! In addition, the main channel to Blood Harbor Town was captured by the navy. The name of thief has been blocked, and now, merchants from the West Sea can no longer come to Blood Harbor Town." Hughes said with a heavy face.

"Is it coming so soon?" Arthur frowned slightly.

The world government has really hit its weakness with one blow. Why can St. Maarten develop so fast?

A large part of it is due to the huge benefits brought by Blood Harbor Town!

With the continuous blood supply of Blood Harbor Town, St. Maarten can exchange a lot of money for development speed. Once the waterway of Blood Harbor Town is cut off, in addition to slowing down the development speed, there will be many follow-up problems.

Without the shipping channel in Blood Harbor Town, all kinds of things produced in St. Maarten will be piled up there and cannot be sold. If the things cannot be sold, there will be no money to pay the workers. If the workers have no wages, how can they survive? ?

If the workers can't survive, the kingdom will start to be in chaos. Once the kingdom is in chaos, not only will it not be able to develop, it may even go backwards, and then it will be in big trouble!

"Huh!?" After hearing this sentence, Hughes looked at Arthur in surprise, a little confused.

Seeing Hughes' doubts, Brian explained the reason in a low voice in his ear, and Hughes suddenly realized!

He thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, should we ask those factory owners to stop production first, otherwise it will be more troublesome if the goods pile up!"

Arthur pondered for a moment and said, "Well, Brian, you continue to inquire about the latest news with those officials and friends, and Hughes, don't worry, let those factory owners continue to produce, and I will find a way to deal with the accumulated goods of!"

"Okay, Your Majesty!" Hughes and Brian nodded.

"Okay, let's go down first!" Arthur said, waving his hand.

"Yes!" After the two agreed, they slowly exited the room!

As soon as the two left, Arthur fell into deep thought.
