Throne of the North.

Chapter 269 Economic Blockade
Now that he had found a solution, Viscount Miles was no longer so anxious.

Ryan didn't know whether Viscount Miles would have a smooth journey to the south, but the plan against Viscount Dragun's family had already begun.

……

"What's going on? Why has the quality of your weapons deteriorated so much this month?"

"Can this kind of spear be considered a weapon? The ones used to carry manure are of better quality than these."

"We can't take any! You can take it back yourself."

"Okay, no need to stay any longer, we have to rush to the next one."

"Jasmine tea? There's no demand for it in other territories recently, so you can keep it for yourselves."

"Rotten? So be it. This kind of thing is inherently risky. The mountain tea that is popular in the Northern Wind Province recently comes from our frozen land. It grows on cliffs 1,500 meters high. Each tea tree is only half a meter tall, and it takes three years to grow a batch of tea leaves."

"How did you pick it? Haha, our wise and mighty master captured a snow eagle. How do you think you picked it?"

"And persimmons? This... is a good thing, but you know, this year is almost halfway over, and winter is coming. My master said that this winter will be very cold, so we need to prepare more supplies for the winter. Although persimmons can be used as food storage, the cost-effectiveness is too low, and we can't eat enough."

“So I won’t accept it.”

"You can continue to mine those green stones, but we won't collect them this year. My master was assassinated before because the stones here are of poor quality. The assassin broke them into pieces in a few strokes. He plans to transport a batch of stones engraved with magic patterns from the south to build the castle."

"This concerns the safety of the master's life. If I dare to take your stones, will I still be alive?"

Finally, the huge team went away, leaving the head of the Dragun family standing there in a daze.

……

"Sir, this is what happened."

"And it's not just them that won't accept our stuff. Recently, people in Tieshan County and other territories won't trade with us. We can't make any profit from the price difference."

"The Blade Rose Chamber of Commerce and the Lantern Chamber of Commerce have arrived in Lingdu City. This is their last visit to the North Wind Province this year. However, it is said that they collected too much supplies. Their transport team cannot carry more supplies, so they only collected 30% of the previous amount."

The person in charge cried in front of Viscount Dragun, and just as he finished speaking, he was met with the expected anger!
"You are such a useless piece of shit! You can't even do this simple thing!"

"So many supplies, weapons and other things can be recycled, but what about the rest? That's my wealth!!!"

"You don't have to worry about it anymore. You guys can't pay off my wealth in ten lifetimes if you squander it like this. Just be a serf for me!"

Viscount Dragun was furious. He himself couldn't quite figure it out, but he knew how much wealth had been lost.

After hearing his words, the person in charge of this matter on the opposite side turned extremely pale and knelt down directly.

"Master, please spare me, Master, please spare me."

After crying for a long time, he finally thought of the words he had painstakingly thought of before.

"Master, Master, I understand. This is not our problem at all. They are targeting us."

"Master, think about it. Even if our quality is problematic and they don't accept it, what about other things? There is no reason for them to not want them. Besides, there are other noble territories. We are bartering with those commoners and serfs. They wanted everything before. If their nobles did not allow it, how could they not want our resources?"

"It must be like this, sir. We did nothing wrong. They did it on purpose."

The person in charge burst into tears. He couldn't imagine what his family's life would be like after becoming serfs.

Thinking about the life of the serfs who were exploited by him before, the person in charge couldn't help but tremble.

"Is that so?"

Viscount Dragun said with some doubt.

"That must be the case, sir. Just think about it. Almost in an instant, the things of your viscountship could no longer be traded with others. Even those chambers of commerce don't want your iron weapons." "I heard that the person in charge of the Blade Rose Chamber of Commerce in the North Wind Province has some relationship with Baron Ryan. Maybe, maybe..."

He didn't dare to continue speaking, but Viscount Dragun believed it a little more at this moment.

"Get lost! If you don't do it right next time, your whole family will become slaves!"

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir, for your mercy!"

The person in charge almost crawled out of the room, and he couldn't help but stumble as soon as he walked out. He had smashed it this time, but next time, what should he do next time... He was extremely frightened.

As a person with some knowledge and brains, he could almost understand that if the Viscount did not handle this matter well, the team from the Frozen Territory would definitely not accept anything from him next time.

"Baron Ryan..."

In the study, Viscount Dragun had a gloomy look in his eyes. He had gone to the castle of Marquis Beifeng with Viscount Miles not long ago, and he had indeed made some decisions that were different from before.

That is to link his father's death to Baron Ryan and tell the Marquis that if Baron Ryan's army had not appeared on the battlefield at that time, his father would not have died at all.

This little bit of involvement was enough, and the Marquis was very happy. He kept the soldiers he brought with him and will develop the other world dimension together with the Marquis' army.

It is said that all the gargoyles followed in, and even the powerful legendary knight was among the pioneering team.

It's a legend. Such a person will surely gain huge wealth by developing the army. Viscount Dragun was tempted at that time.

Now it seemed that he had acted impulsively, and Baron Ryan had sensed something.

boom!
"I'm not wrong! Damn Ryan, Lingdu County should belong to Viscount Dragun's family, but now it's in the hands of a baron!"

"It's all Ryan, it's all his fault!"

Frozen collar.

Ryan crawled out from between the two white bodies and weighed the soft weight in his hand. There were some teeth marks and red marks left by accident or intention.

“It must be about one pound.”

Ryan's action woke the other party up, and Irina, the manager of Blade Rose, opened her hazy eyes.

"You have only come to Beifeng Province twice this year. Are you not planning to come in the second half of the year?"

Irina shook her head. She suspected that she had a concussion and her voice was a little hoarse.

"Well, in the second half of the year we will cooperate with the steward in the south to carry out trade activities in the south of the empire. The war in the south is in great need of manpower. Besides, at the end of the year, the Earl will be back from the West Sea. Everyone from top to bottom must show off."

"The countess?"

Ryan was a little curious, but obviously, as the count's follower, Irina didn't say much even at this time.

Loyalty is a very noble quality, whether it is loyalty from subordinates to superiors or from superiors to subordinates.

As her mind gradually cleared up, Irina began to inquire about the news here.

"You asked me to reject the supplies from Viscount Dragon. Did something happen?"

"That Viscount is planning to start a war again?"

"not him."

Ryan said casually, his eyes became clear, he didn't know if this would be a war.

　It’s late again... Same old rule, compensation!
