"Your Highness, don't worry, there is no one better at doing this kind of dirty work than me." John Pullett, who was promoted to news director, is still a bohemian wet man with a slightly lascivious smile.

Import tariffs are easy to handle, the initiative is in the hands of the Far East government, export trade is not so convenient, especially the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Kolas has not yet been widely recognized by the international community, and what is even worse is that the Yashan Empire recently issued a decree on a comprehensive economic blockade of the Far East, and other countries must first look at the face of the imperial authorities even if they want to do business with the Far Easterners.

There is only one country in the world of Varess that dares to openly challenge the authority of the Assanian Empire, and the Marquis of Feizhen is located at the westernmost point of the Atlas continent, opposite the "Crystal Strait", and the people of the Far East want to do business with the Feizhen people, either all the way west across the entire territory of the empire, or sail east to bypass half the planet...... Based on the harsh external environment, Roland's policy of "smuggling" is more realistic than legal trade.

"There are two main foreign trade routes in the Far East, north and south, along the Veres River south, turning east into the Gobi Territory, not far away is the Twilight Valley under the control of the Naro Order and Parnia, where we are in dire need of magic crystal deposits, the Canaanite border fortress of Medes is also in the same area, the border trade between the two sides was quite active as early as the provincial era, all we need to do is to maintain the existing border trading market."

A large map hung on the wall of the chamber, and Roland had already traced the two trade routes in red in advance.

"The trade route to the north crosses the Great Plains of the Far East, passes through the Casse Plateau, the Perron Gorge, the subsidence region, the misty swamps, climbs over the Lucia Mountains, where the Balle Volcano is the icy snow, and continues north on the Kitland Plateau, where we will reach the North Bay, from where we will sail into the meteorite ocean, and sail for four to five weeks to land in the colonial province of Wilnoa in the New World." Roland is most familiar with this route in the north, after all, he has personally walked it, and the smuggling route he planned is also to go to sea from Baiou Harbor and cross the meteorite ocean to trade with Wilnoa.

"Wilnoa is a colonial province under the control of the Empire, and the Imperial authorities do not recognize the legitimacy of the Kingdom of Kolas, so Far Eastern merchants cannot conduct legal trade in the colonies of the New World, but we can go to sea under the banner of the 'North Sea Federation' and obtain the legal status to land in Wilnoa, and Ms. Lyubov Yangbo does not mind this."

Roland said it lightly, but Yevgenia knew in her heart that Rudolph did not have such a big face in the name of borrowing the name of the "North Sea Federation" without having to pay any price, and Roland and the Yanbo sisters were probably closer than the legend, which made her a little worried about her daughter.

"Borrowing the flag of the North Sea Federation, coupled with the trade certificate issued by the Yangbo family, even if it is stopped by the imperial anti-smuggling ship for inspection, there is a great chance to get through the customs, the only thing worth worrying about is the elusive pirates on the meteorite ocean, we don't have a navy to escort merchant ships." Evgenia raised a very real concern.

It's not an exaggeration to say that the vast "Meteorite Ocean" has been a paradise for pirates since ancient times, and there are more pirate ships roaming the ocean than merchant ships - no one can be sure that the merchant ships they encounter during the voyage will suddenly raise the skull flag and make a cameo as a pirate. Engaging in ocean trade in such a hostile environment, a merchant ship without the escort of warships is like a naked girl walking in a night alley, and it is strange not to be attacked.

"In fact, we not only have a navy, but also a strong army."

Roland's smile was still so sunny and hearty, but the white teeth that showed when the corners of his lips were raised reminded of some kind of carnivorous beast.

"Koras Island, formerly known as 'Troll Island', was once home to the strongest pirate gang in the North Bay, but now that the Troll Pirate Regiment has been destroyed, the main fleet of pirates - including the legendary flagship 'Sea Palace' - has been reorganized into the 'North Sea Fleet', with the experienced seafaring lady Helena as the admiral, and if that is not enough, we can also ask for assistance from the White Gull Harbor fleet under the command of Victoria Youngpo, the two fleets together dare not say that they are rampaging the meteoric ocean, At least they can afford to escort the merchant ships of the Far East, if there are really pirates who come to rob them...... We'll use our guns to tell the unsightly ones who are the real danger in the ocean. ”

There was silence in the conference hall, as if even the sound of breathing was absorbed by the thick tapestries of tapestry around it. The expressions of the ministers are more or less stiff, especially those ministers who were born in the club of the Awakened, their vision is limited to the city of Krasbourg, and they can be regarded as first-class leaders in their social circles, and after entering the cabinet, they will inevitably have the mentality of relying on the old and selling the old, and they are somewhat dismissive of His Royal Highness the Prince, who is famous and in a high position at a young age, thinking that the reason why Roland is qualified to sit here and express his opinions on national affairs in front of many old-timers is not necessarily how talented he is, is more mainly because of the good reincarnation technology, and there is a father who is a king.

It wasn't until Roland revealed the existence of "Koras Island" and the "Northern Sea Fleet" when he told about the Northern Sea Route that the old guys who thought so highly of themselves felt their cheeks burn. If Roland's achievements in Krasbourg were all due to his father's care, he didn't have a "prince" halo on his head when he was in the North Bay, and the reason why he was able to establish a close relationship with the Yangbo family, eliminate pirates and seize Koras Island, still has an elite fleet in his hands, and he relies on his own hard work. Compared with the achievements of this young man, the little career of these old guys is not important at all, and most of their lives are in vain.

Compared to the ministers who did not know about Roland's past, the foreign secretary from Kolas Island, Mr. Kuntiliang, seemed very relaxed. In fact, he was slightly disappointed with Roland's statement just now, and in the eyes of his professional eloquent, Roland was too modest - it was a crime not to pretend when he should have been forced!

Rudolph and Evgenia looked at each other, both smiling with pride.

Rudolph certainly had reason to be proud of his son, Roland had expanded his territory in the North Bay long before the creation of the kingdom of Kolas, and had become a lord of the party before he became a father; Evgenia brought into the role of a mother, Roland was raised by her, and was loved by her as her own son since he was a child.

Roland sensed that the atmosphere in the conference hall was a little strange, coughed into his fist twice, and calmly moved on to the next topic—the education plan for the Far East in the next five years.

The development of industry and commerce requires a large number of professionals, and no one can deny that the Far East urgently needs to establish a complete educational system as soon as possible to continuously train talents for all walks of life.
