Four hundred and fifty-five  Bold

Avril came with the caravan. This was just the first wave, and there were more supplies in the future.

However, materials are divided into two categories, some of which are luxury goods. Who is Zou Liang? He accepted Duolan City. Duolan City is poor and use the points given by the above, it is completely a dream. As for the brother city, it is even more unreliable. Duolan City's biggest advantage is black market trading. It used to be controlled by the axis, but now it must be controlled by him, the city lord.

Exporting luxury goods for useful things is simply a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, and a fool is to do nothing.

Although other empires have become stronger, they are still very charming about Moncai's things, especially the luxury goods of the Holy See, which are widely circulated among the nobles of other empires.

They are all orcs, and no one is a saint. There are still things that cannot be enjoyed wherever they live, but whether the degree and atmosphere are standardized.

Mong Kah’s enjoyment has become the main theme now, while other empires are just a kind of adjustment for the strong to enjoy life.

Money is not important, the key is to exchange for urban construction materials, grain and other things. After all, no matter how much money Zou Liang has, it is not enough to add money, but to find a way to make money.

The Avril Imperial Capital made enough money, but building a city is not about raising a city. There is a day to spend on gold and silver. How to restore Duolan City to normal is the key.

Let me introduce Avril to Jacques Bran, and many economic activities must be carried out through two people, but Bran follows the etiquette of the nobles.

"Virgin Bran, there is a question, what is the real purpose of the axis that blindly increases taxes?"

Zou Liang took the time to ask this more important question. During the process of searching the three major families, the early funds for urban construction were enough. Such a wealthy axis would not have the small amount of money in Feng Town. If it was not a problem of money, it would be another problem, and the purpose would definitely be greater.

"The city lord is wise, and his subordinates are about to report this matter, but they don't know how to speak. Axis will be levied heavily at the beginning, mainly because they want the land of Fengzhen!"

Observing Arthur's management direction these days, Bran has already found out that the city lord is even more ruthless. He doesn't look at the process, but only the result. He can do anything as long as it is beneficial to Duolan City.

"Haha, underground trade venue?"

"The city lord is wise. You know, the veterans have regulations on this aspect, and they are closed to the country, but the benefits are huge. They are secretly doing it everywhere, but the scale is not enough, and the caravans are in trouble. If you succeed, you will almost lose all your money."

Bran said.

There are two biggest problems with doing this kind of business. On the one hand, it is Monca’s safety, and on the other hand, it is the safety outside.

The Axis would want to hold an underground transaction in Feng Town, contact Hannibal, the Wind Kingdom and some reliable Monca caravans to conduct intermediate transactions. This reduced a lot of dedication in the middle, but this matter could only be done secretly.

"Haha, it seems that you have been preparing for a long time." Zou Liang glanced at Bran. After such a lot of trouble, the axis would obviously have contacted people from all three parties.

Jacques Bran was no longer amazed at Arthur's foresight. This was not a priest, but obviously a veteran of smuggling.

"The city lord is wise. In fact, when the consul Ayasen was there, these transactions were always going on, but they were just simple matchmaking, but they also formed a network of relationships. The wild army made such a fuss, but instead gave a chance. The boundary broken by the war. The town outside Duolan City had already died in name only, which was considered a confusing boundary, and it could form a more direct trading place. Moreover, everyone felt that this kind of place was safer." "Haha, I'm very interested in this list."

Zou Liang looked at Bran. Bran understood and took out a brocade from his arms, and Avril, who was beside him, took it over.

"Monca contacted twelve merchant groups within, which were screened, including fifteen Wind Kingdoms, twenty-one Hannibal, three in the wilderness area, and five other scattered groups."

Bran whispered.

Zou Liang's face did not change, but he was already scolding in his heart. He made such a big deal. I don't know how large these business groups were. If they were big enough, they would make a fortune in one transaction.

"Virded Viscount Bran, you did a good job, you have to worry about this."

"Willing to serve!" Bran hurriedly bowed.

In fact, at this time, Arthur could have completely excluded the Bran family, but Arthur did not do so. Why bother? It is not Zou Shenshang's style that does not benefit others.

Moreover, the Bran family has been struggling for so many years and must be proficient in the ways, especially some details, which cannot be taken over by a newcomer.

"Vivi, do you know anything?"

"Brother, there is a caravan of the Ficlow family."

Zou Liang was not too surprised. The Ficlow family, who claimed to be rich enough to compete with a country, must have a wide business all over the world, with only business that they don’t have, and no business that they don’t do.

This is the real businessman.

"Very good, you are also planning to have a decent caravan and learn from Viscount Bran. Feng Town alone is not enough. Viscount Bran, what do you think I will open Feng Town and Qiufeng Town to make a transaction location?"

Zou Liang licked his lips. I have to say that when Zou Shenshang transformed into Zou Shangshang, his greed was beyond imagination.

Bran was startled, "Sir, you must not. If you do this openly, the above will definitely know that this is an open violation of the resolution of the Senate Council. Just this one is suppressing it, it is dangerous!"

There is another sentence that Bran dared not say, "Close to the country is issued by the Holy See, and has been sticking to it for years. Zou Liang is a member of the Holy See.

Of course, Zou Liang knew that the Holy See was closed to the country, and the Holy See was all within Mongols. He had no time to care about other people and was worried about foreign enemies. So he used this move. However, it has been many years since he was locked up and he suffocated himself to death. Even if he locked up in the country, it does not mean that the enemy did not know that, and you can smell Mongols' richness thousands of miles apart.

"Virgin Bran, you're thinking too much. I just want to hold a donation meeting. Think about the fact that Duolan City had just been invaded by barbarians and suffered heavy losses. As a citizen of the empire, some devout believers came to help donate some supplies. Isn't it okay? The Elderly Council will also encourage it!"

Zou Liang said, his eyes showing ruthlessness.

The elders would be stingy, and the consul was even more supportive. None of the surrounding cities could be reliable, so they still had to rely on themselves.

The brave and timid ones starved to death. One thing Zou Liang can be sure of is that as long as he does not openly wave the open banner, the Pope will not do anything to him. Not to mention that he now represents the Pope. If one loses one, he will lose oneself and prosper, how could the Pope slap himself in the face?

Of course, intelligence work must be done well. If there are those who come to cause trouble and those who are intent and have bad intentions, they must be done. What is the Acts doing? Even if you give Triangle Eye a little more money, you have to do it.

If you don’t do it, you will just wait to die. If you do it well, you will be a chance.

"Virded Viscount Bran, what you have to consider is how to do it carefully. You don't have to worry about the rest. You have to understand that we are grasshoppers on a rope, and we must work together!"

"I hope to serve the city lord!"

Bran was convinced. This was even more cruel than the merchants like them, and he was really brave enough to fight. Sometimes he couldn't figure out what the young city lord in front of him wanted?

Money? It seems that he is not short of status? He has a better choice?

What a cruel and thrilling fight? It seems that I can't get this position!

Devout believers, in order to follow the glory of the Beast God? Damn, Bran himself feels that his hair is standing tall. Isn't this fart?

Zou Liang rubbed his head and waved his hand. Viscount Bran quickly left with tactfulness.

"Brother, the veteran will definitely know this." Avril said, "We have a lot of money."

"Haha, Vivi, that's just a drop in the bucket, it's nothing. I want to do it in Feng Town and Qiufeng Town. The Elderly Council will definitely know, but there is always a way. In fact, the nobles who eat and have nothing to do all day long don't know whether Duolan City is square or round. In their eyes, there is only the imperial capital, and there is only the benefit."

With two lifetimes of experience, I really know what these people think, especially in the situation like Meng Jia.

The five major families don’t have their own business, otherwise why do they make money? They just don’t allow ordinary people to make money. The Ficrow family is on the caravan list, and the Nichola family is probably indispensable. Of course, Zou Liang would not stop it, but would be very welcome.

Arthur in Avril's eyes was becoming more and more domineering. The imperial capital was planning and then a huge turn of choice, and what path should the elder brother take? No matter what, Avril is full of expectations. Life is not just for living.

After seeing Avril away, Zou Liang rubbed his head. He had really worked hard these days. It was very complicated to manage a city. Fortunately, Zou Liang was all educated people, and he was worried about everything in detail. It was useless to be exhausted. He believed that the people around him could let them do it as long as they were properly assigned. As for mistakes, orcs were not beast gods, and everyone was the same. He believed in their abilities.

At present, a basic layout has finally been calculated. It will take a certain amount of time for this team to work together, but it is not a big problem to be controlled by him.

What Zou Liang needs to consider now is a longer-term issue, that is, the safety of the town.

At present, Duolan City’s defense is not very strong, and attacking is just a dream, but defense is not Zou Shenpu’s character. He still wants to rob him!

The recruitment matter is necessary, but I am worried about the level. I have to say that the level of Duolan City is relatively poor. This is an indisputable fact. If it is placed in the military organization, the expenses will be greatly increased.

Suddenly, Zou Shenkan was happy, grandma, I like to go to a dead end, but it is really easy to do it.

The strategy of the whole nation!

It can also be called a militia reserve. After all, there are barbarian troops invading, and the residents of Duolan City will always respond. If they have a certain combat quality, it is a way to enhance the combat effectiveness of the city.

The beast people are fierce and need to discover it for a while, and they will definitely form a very considerable combat power.

Thinking of this, Zou Liang also smiled. As for the lack of masters, it will not be solved for a while. Facing the strong, he is the only one who is really rare to take action. It seems that Duolan City is powerful enough, but in fact, if a Jinyao-level master comes, Duolan will be furious. If a city does not have the Jinyao-level level, it will be a fancy to be strong no matter how strong it is.

Zou Liang knew that he could only bear this important task, just like the last barbarian invasion, if he had not damaged Aoria in time, the city of Dolan would have been destroyed.

When it comes to Aoria, Zou Liang has a premonition that they will definitely meet again!

Why go back here?

Ambition? Ideal?

Only Zou Liang himself knows that sometimes the truth is really simple, but everyone ignores it...

Duolan City ushered in a tide of return to the city. When the orcs scattered around Duolan City heard Arthur's return and became the city lord, they wiped out the Axial Society in one fell swoop and wanted to vigorously rebuild the city. The orcs returned home like arrows, and the trust built up by sacrificing themselves in battle is incomparable to anything.

The construction of Duolan City and the two surrounding towns began vigorously. Avril brought supplies and caravans to enter continuously, and at the same time began to buy some necessary supplies from surrounding cities. Perhaps under the pressure of the Elderly Council, they only raised the price by 10%, and Zou Liang endured it. This is the reality, but it doesn't matter, they always have to pay it back when they come out.

Although there were many problems, there were also surprises, that was the manpower issue that Zou Liang was worried about. He really wanted to build a good Duolan City. He forgot that most orcs in Duolan City wanted to build a good home!

I was unwilling to do it before because of the forced force of the axis, but now it is not. The orcs are helping spontaneously. All the damaged city walls have been pushed down and rebuilt, and most of them have experienced great wars. The one who has problems with the city walls must be the one who is unlucky.

There were busy situations everywhere in the city, and Bran was also sweating because he knew very well that Lord Arthur seemed not interested in the so-called noble privileges, and he hated standing and not doing things the most. After all, he was once a member of the Axis Society. He had to be more active. This is called atonement and reforming. Jacques Bran was also a smart person. In fact, seeing this scene was really a contrast. When the Axis Society was in trouble, he was forced to catch a strong man, and now...

Cote and Randy also went to their own towns. Urban construction was easier, but the towns were more about restoring and normal life, especially agricultural production. The land of these two towns was fertile and they originally formed the main food source of Duolan City.

When Cote and Randy came to their base, they also discovered something strange... The no-man situation they were worried about did not happen because there were many orcs, and they were obviously not from Duolan City.

Randy is usually careless, but men will mature, especially when they are trusted and accept heavy responsibilities. He does not want to disappoint Arthur, and he wants to prove to everyone that Arthur is right, and Randy is also capable.

Already smart, you will appear more careful at this time.

Orcs came from surrounding cities, even further away, and some were brought back by orcs from Duolan City, because Arthur exempted three years of taxes. Moreover, due to war, the land in Duolan City was indeed in a trance, but this means that the soil was fertile and rested for long enough. In addition, it was close to the wilderness, and the grassland was fertile and suitable for livestock. For those big men, they might not consider money at all, but for ordinary orcs, this was a major event related to survival.

This is also a huge problem that Zou Liang discovered. The gap between the rich and the poor in Meng Jia has reached an astonishing point.

The noble class can sprinkle gold coins, but gold coins are indeed something that ordinary orcs cannot see. After all, Zou Liang came from Jerusalem, so it can be compared with the step-shaped gap between Jerusalem, Daros and the imperial capital, and Dolan City is not as good as Jerusalem.

However, even places like Duolan City can breed nobles like the four major families.

If it weren't for the long-term influence of the Holy See, God knew that Mongke had been in turmoil several times. Mongke seemed to be the most balanced in the continent of the Beast Gods, including the Holy See, the consul, the Engraving Masters Association, and the just senatorial church, but these are all superficial and constantly consumed. To be honest, it is really not as good as the imperial system of Hannibal and the Wind Kingdom.

The exemption of three years of taxes is enough for ordinary orcs to make the migration.

Of course, the area of ​​Dolan City is indeed quite dangerous, but Arthur once defeated the Demon Lion and was also the newly promoted first master of the younger generation. The confidence of the imperial capital gradually spread, and there were many exaggerated elements. In this case, the orcs were willing to take a try.
To be continued...
