I have a lot of wives

"Yes." Lu Cheng nodded: "They are a relationship between a city-state and a vassal. Binghai Port treats the members of the villages and towns outside as its servants and subordinates. They are not citizens of the city-state. They don't care too much about their life or death.

The Binghai Port itself was based on trade.There are still many handicraft industries in the city.

This is the second pillar industry of Binghai Port.

With these two points, Binghai Port does not need the surrounding villages and towns to provide them with any resources.They don’t even need to provide manpower and troops...

What a terrible management system.

Terrible."

Lu Cheng said this and shook his head helplessly.

Xuexiaxuenai, who heard Lu Cheng's evaluation, believes that Lu Cheng's evaluation is appropriate.At the same time, I feel slightly down.

Because Xuexia felt that all this was wrong.At the same time, Yukino couldn't help but worry about these people:

"So... what will their result be... how?"

"..."

Lu Cheng did not answer her question, but looked at Xuexia with a strange look: "Does Xuenai really know this question?"

"..."

Xuexia Xuenai was silent because of Lu Cheng's rhetorical question.

Yes, of course she knew it, and she was not a fool.Even an idiot can guess this kind of thing.

...

After that, until Lu Cheng and the others left the town and set up a tent in the field, Xuexia Xuenai did not speak.

She looked very lost, even a little trance.

When I thought of the consequences of this small town and the people here after the army of the Kingdom of Fenris came to kill, Xuexiaxue felt like he was about to faint.

"Can't we do something for them?"

When Lu Cheng was preparing to light a bonfire and then making today’s dinner, Yukino finally couldn’t help but ask this question: "Student Lu Cheng, do you have the power to stop this?"

"Do you mean to help them resist the Fenris army?" Lu Cheng raised his head and looked at Xuexia.

"Fenris, you should be familiar with this term." Lu Cheng then asked.

"..."

Yes, Xuexia Xuena is of course familiar.

Because of this name, she is the home of Princess Xueni's mother, and it is also the force she is going to seek refuge in.

The current King Fenris is her grandfather.Knut, the strongest among the Varangians.

...

It is her relatives in this world who are about to come here and bring harm to the people here.

"A strong person has great ambition." Lu Cheng calmly added firewood to the bonfire: "As the strongest kingdom in the north, of course I want the largest and richest city in the north.

The commercial wealth contained here also includes artisans.And human resources.Everything is what His Majesty Knut wants."

Lu Cheng looked at Xuexia seriously:

"Before the start of this war, Binghai Port relied on its dominant position as a commercial center to exploit all Varangians. It made huge amounts of wealth and profits through various unequal trade agreements.

This war was the unbearable result of all the Varangians who were exploited by the ice harbor.

From the Evernight Port in the northernmost part of the ice sea to the easternmost, Novgorod founded by the Slavs.All those who trade in the ice sea area are not satisfied with the ice sea port.

For this reason, Knut received a group response when he launched an attack on the ice port.

Varangians, Slavels, and even dwarves and gray elves from all over the ice sea.All will be gathered under the banner of Knut's Black Crow.To punish these ice sea people.

This is the cause of this war.

Their numbers are huge.

According to my estimation, the number of this coalition force may exceed 30,000 horses.Including more than 20,000 Varangian warriors, more than 5,000 Slaver infantry, cavalry, and about 3,000 capable dwarves-they carry a certain amount of gunpowder weapons.

The elves of the Shadowglade, one of the only remaining elven city-states in the Western Continent, are also ready to get involved.At least a thousand elf shooters, druids and wizards will provide the strongest spellcaster service for the coalition.

After knowing these things, did Xuexia classmates still feel that Binghai people are pitiful, and do they still want to help them?"

"..."

Xuexia Xuena was silent for a few seconds:

"The Binghai people may have taken the blame." She said:

"But these things have nothing to do with the people living outside Binghai Port."

"Yes, that's right."

Listening to Xuexiaxuenai's words, Lu Cheng smiled happily: "All this really has nothing to do with the people outside Binghai Port.

They have neither participated in foreign trade decision-making, nor have they gained much foreign trade benefits.

But now, the annoyed Varangian coalition forces are coming to Ice Sea Port.

They are the first group to suffer.

No matter who you ask about such a thing, the answer is definitely "this is really unfair."

So, Xuexia, your idea is correct and very reasonable.

So, now there is one question left.

That is, Yuukishita, how do you help them?"

Yukino under Xuexia: "...?????"

Lu Cheng: "~"

Chapter 16: Lending You One Ten Thousandth of Power

"Couldn't it be that I persuaded Lu Cheng, and then Lu Cheng solved the matter well, so should the credit be counted on me?"

"At least I have to move Lu Cheng and say, "Don't worry, Xue Nai, I will try my best to help you, and the two of us can work hard."
