Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 48:

Che Bibi, Ma Xiaoxiao, pedestrians with bows and arrows at their waists.

The long line walks on the not-so-wide avenue, like a long dragon, with no head in front and no end in the back, running from the horizon on the east to the horizon on the west.

This is a migration team sent by the merchants of the Gold Coin Federation.

In order to avoid war, the goddess of wealth finally put forward the idea of ​​"merchants going north and nobles going south", dividing the huge federation of gold coins into two.

Although the small merchants and small nobles of the middle and lower classes had very opinions on this, the big merchants and the nobles of the upper class accepted this proposal after negotiation.

In any case, this is always better than fighting.

Although they both want to kill each other and **** all of the other's wealth, even the dominant aristocratic faction does not really have a great chance of winning.

In other words, even if the entire aristocratic faction has a chance of winning, it is not certain that a certain great aristocrat himself may be sure that his family will benefit from the future war that will sweep the entire gold coin federation. Make up for lost losses.

In this case, it is better not to lose.

So despite the opposition of the nobles in the north and the merchants in the south, the matter was finally settled.

After the decision is made, it is a long migration.

The merchants head north, and the nobles head south.

This is probably the largest migration that has occurred since the Great Migration of Humans. The total population involved on both sides may add up to close to one million.

Originally, the merchants suggested that everyone only migrate their property and family, not the people of the territory—they even stated that they could use money to redeem the people of the nobles. However, after some discussions, the nobles in the north finally expressed that they wanted people to leave the land and not leave enough people for the merchants.

On the one hand, it is to avoid making the merchants stronger, and on the other hand, it is to have enough strength to compete for territory after going to the south.

The merchants in the south have moved away, naturally leaving many areas where they have been operating for many years. In order to occupy these areas, of course a lot of population is needed. The nobles choose the farming mode, which requires far more people than the merchants. If the northern catalpa population is not migrated, those nobles who have changed their territories will be very It is difficult to have enough manpower to work in agriculture.

More importantly, these leaders are the foundation of their rule. Their army also came from it. If they are left behind, it means that their army will lose its roots. Even if it is not visible in a short time, after a long time, they will find that they have fewer and fewer troops.

The central government of the Gold Coin Federation is not strong, and the noble lords have a lot of private battles and fights, which can be called the feeling of chaos. If there is no reliable army, even in the south, it is nothing more than a group of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

The merchants in the south found that the aristocrats in the north had to migrate even the population, so they naturally refused to do it. They protested very angrily, and even made the nobles feel the pressure.

However, in the face of the Northern Alliance of Nobles that has made up their minds and reached a consensus, the face and authority of the great aristocrats is not good.

Faced with the persuasion and threats of the great nobles, the representatives of the Northern Alliance of Nobles did not have the slightest intention to give in. They bluntly expressed their disbelief in the other side and wanted to ensure that the nobles who moved south had enough strength to protect themselves.

This is a complete tear, but the nobles really have no way to refute it.

Actually...their original plan was to devour these southward nobles and eat them all.

Of course, these plans are elusive. It would be okay if they were kept secret. Now they are clearly broken. No matter how thick-skinned they are, they can't help but feel embarrassed.

In addition to embarrassment, it is more angry.

Seeing that a large piece of fat is about to fall into their mouths, but now they are about to run with long legs, how can they not be angry?

However, the attitudes of the nobles who moved south were very fierce, and they even put on the attitude of "It's a big deal, everyone will fall apart, the civil war of the gold coin federation will be a civil war", and they will not even make any concessions.

For them, it has been very hard for them to leave their homes where they have been operating for many years and go to the south to reopen. It is impossible for them to give in a little bit.

In fact, many aristocrats who moved south have already made contact privately. When they arrived in the south, the first thing they did was to jointly send troops to beat the nearby southern aristocrats, first to stabilize their rule, and then strive to expand their territory.

Several powerful factions among the aristocrats who moved south have even set their sights on the two Marquis of the Gold Coin Federation, wanting to knock them off the throne.

If a group of wolves are migrating, to determine their status, of course they can rely on bullying the rabbits and goats in the migrating place, but the most appropriate way is to kill the local wolf king.

Even netizens on the earth know that "kill the panda, I am a national treasure." How could these cruel nobles not know?

...Hehe, if it weren't for the possibility of grabbing benefits, it would be so easy for these nobles to abandon their northern territories and migrate to the south!

Seeing that the aristocratic faction moved south with a large number of people~IndoMTL.com~ The merchant faction who originally planned to go northward with light clothes naturally changed their minds. They sprinkled money frantically, prepared a lot of food, recruited a large number of people, formed a huge pioneering team, and marched toward the north.

The aristocracy in the south is naturally unwilling to lead the people away-the leader is the foundation of the rule of the lord, and the leader is gone, and the lord is the commander of the polished rod. In the gold coin federation with frequent battles, the noble commander of the polished rod is not as good as a dog!

The dog wouldn't be able to stay in his den at least, so a Galen jumped from the sky and turned it into dog meat.

So they immediately started to stop, but this time the merchant faction took an extremely determined attitude and even issued a war threat.

Who doesn’t understand the importance of population? If there is not enough population in the north, what use is the past!

Faced with the threat of war from the merchant faction, the great aristocrats had to do the work of the small and medium aristocrats, and even used force to suppress two lords who wanted to prevent the leaders from being hired to leave.

Of course, they have also laid down rules. Businessmen can only hire no more than 30% of the population from the same territory.

As a result, this 30% is almost 30% of the entire South.

Generally speaking, the South is richer than the North, and the population density is higher. The 30% of the population of the entire southern region has roughly exceeded 60% of the total population of the northern region.

Such a number of people can almost meet the needs of business people. Even if there are some vacancies, there will still be a lot of people left in the north.

After all... there are not only aristocrats in the north, but also many merchants.

So, the merchants headed north, the nobles headed south, and the long dragon composed of countless migrants lay on the ground like this, slowly moving in their respective directions.
