Chapter 104: Inauguration
Seeing Abigail fall into a long period of thought, Da Liang knew that he had instilled in her too much. It is not an easy thing to bring a clan of black elves with a centralized clan into the aristocratic feudal system.
Now Abigail is deeply troubled by the governance of Songjiang, so he will patiently listen to Daliang's opinion. If it was when she had just moved into Songjiang and Da Liang said this to her, it is estimated that Abigail would have whipped it a long time ago.
The rights of the mistress are supreme and do not allow anyone's prying eyes and objections.
Da Liang said to Abigail: "The matter of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce entering Songjiang can be discussed slowly, and the master mother can also see how the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce in the surrounding cities carries out trade activities." Our chamber of commerce has no interest in the rights of a city, we are pure merchants, and the escort is only for the sake of making our trade routes smoother, reducing unnecessary losses and costs when transporting goods, so that our goods can be cheaper and more competitive.
Mistress Mother, you are Monica's mother, the mother of the future King of the East China Sea, and the Marquis of Shangjiang. Your status is recognized by the Shangjiang royal family, and your interests are respected by all the nobles of Shangjiang, which is the system that maintains the entire Shangjiang city-state.
As long as you truly integrate into the system and respect our rules. Anyone who wants to push you off the position of lord of Songjiang Castle is our enemy, and your rule in Songjiang will be unshakable. β
Abigail understood what Da Liang meant, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce would not infringe on her rights, and if she allowed the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce to fully live in Songjiang, then she would be a member of the Shangjiang Terran power system. Even if her new policy fails and leads to a larger rebellion, the Terran forces will send troops to quell her rebellion.
This is equivalent to buying insurance, there are usually dividends, and someone will wipe your ass if something happens.
Da Liang has already thrown an olive branch and given Abigail the opportunity to integrate into mainstream society, and according to Da Liang's status in Shangjiang and the right to speak in the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, his commitment is very weighty.
Abigail has been looking for such an opportunity, the surface world is the mainstream world, and if the black elves want to gain a foothold in Matsue, they can't do without the support of the surface forces. When Da Liang gave his promise, Abigail immediately agreed: "I agree that the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce will fully enter Songjiang City, and I am willing to fully cooperate with all your trade activities."
At the same time, I also hope that Count Daliang can become the administrative minister of Songjiang City, fully preside over the new policies of Songjiang City, and guide the relocated black elves to integrate into our city. β
Become the Minister of Administration of Matsue Castle?
It is definitely not an easy task to clean up the mess of Songjiang, and if you need to stay in Songjiang for a long time, the progress of the mission on the Death Realm side will inevitably be affected.
However, in the realm of death, Da Liang is dancing on eggs, maneuvering in the cracks, and the harvest is big and risky. As the Minister of Administration in Songjiang, the general environment in Shangjiang is very favorable to Daliang, and he is basically invincible. Moreover, Matsue is a dungeon, not as barren as the Dead Country, which is full of undeveloped resources, and the player is trapped in a brutal underground environment that cannot be penetrated and discovered.
Holding an important position in Songjiang, Da Liang can carry private goods, escorted by Songjiang's dungeon army, and used the trade routes opened up by the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, and unknowingly transported various resources to his private warehouse.
Anyway, there are many officials who don't press themselves, how can a high-level player with such a ability as my brother think that his income is high.
Da Liang stood up and saluted Abigail respectfully: "I am honored to have the trust of the Master Mother and am willing to contribute to the prosperity of Matsue City. β
γDing! You became the Minister of Administration of Songjiang Castle in the Shangjiang Castle State. From now on, you can exercise all the powers of the Minister of Administration. γ
[In recognition of your contribution to Matsue City, Marquis Abigail rewarded you with 1,000 Dark Knights and 100 Cold-Blooded Cavalry.] During your tenure as Minister of Administration, you can recruit 10 Dark Cavalry per day in the Dark Enclosure controlled by Matsue Castle. You can use the Hideous Enclosure to upgrade the Dark Cavalry with full combat experience to Cold-Blooded Cavalry]
[You get a 10 units per day of high-quality iron ore, a 10 units per day of high-quality copper mine, and a daily gold mine worth 500 gold coins]
It seems that Da Liang's suggestion is really very popular with Abigail, and the entry of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce will quickly solve Songjiang's economic and military difficulties, and Abigail, who has a loose army, does not mind exchanging a group of dark cavalry for Da Liang's dedication to work for her.
There are also mines, and the mineral resources of the dungeon are really too rich, which also strengthens Daliang's determination to develop the dungeon.
Next, Da Liang, who is also a shareholder of Shuntong Chamber of Commerce and the Minister of Administration of Songjiang City, was responsible for the matchmaking, and the cooperation between Shuntong Chamber of Commerce and Songjiang City soon entered the stage of substantial development. The convoy of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce entered Songjiang in large numbers, and the black elves used materials and minerals as collateral to fill their warehouses and shelves.
Under the command of the Shangjiang Terran Command, the undead army began to quell the rebellion in Songjiang, and the black elves, who had freed up their troops, led the convoy of the Chamber of Commerce into the depths of the underground, and they also carried the messenger mission drafted by Earl Daliang, the minister of Songjiang Administration, and issued by the Mistress of Abigail.
All Black Elves encountered by the caravan along the way will receive this message.
"Matsue City is a city ruled by Abigail, the Shadow Lord, a city ruled by dark elves, and we welcome every wandering black elf to come here and share our own territory. Mistress Abigail promised all the Black Elves who had come to settle in the country that whether you believe in the Faceless or the Serpent, we will adhere to the principles of 'mutual respect for freedom and tribal integrity, non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence'.
Here, the black elves no longer need to wander in the cruel depths of the earth, and they don't need to live a life of precariousness and starvation. Matsue Castle has abundant supplies and wealth, which can allow every black elf who is willing to contribute to the city to live a rich life.
This is our own city, home to the Black Elves.
Welcome to Songjiang Dungeon!
- Abigail, Lord of Matsue Castle, Marquis, and Mother of the Shadow Lord
The Minister of Administration, Earl, and Lord of Matsue Castle Da Liang"
In Songjiang, Da Liang is busy dealing with the mess of government affairs here, while keeping an eye on the development of the two territories and the construction of the Fog Zone of the Dead Realm. Thankfully, the Legion Flag allows Da Liang to appear quickly in several office locations, otherwise just running on the road can make people tired to death.
However, when a message reached Da Liang, he decided that the focus of his work would first shift to the realm of the dead, and some government affairs in Songjiang could be handled through the newly added administrative panel.
And it was time for the Pole named Sergei to meet him, and after hanging him for so many days, he didn't leave, and Da Liang also became more curious about his purpose.
