Chapter 62: Building Roads to Make Money
The military changes in Shangjiang and Jiading also raised alarm in other cities.
At this time, the cities in Shangjiang are in harmony with each other, and perhaps everyone does not have the strength to harm others, but there has never been the slightest sloppiness in guarding. Therefore, when the navy of Shangjiang City and the army of the undead of Jiading City gathered, other cities also began to secretly concentrate their troops, and inquired about the news of Shangjiang City and Joyce's purpose in many ways.
As a result, the news that those nobles got from Da Liang's mouth quickly spread to the ears of the city lords.
It turned out that the change between Shangjiang City and Jiading City was to welcome a certain mission, an alliance that was ready to cooperate with the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce.
Oh, my God!
The Shuntong Chamber of Commerce wants to continue to expand, and let no one live.
Since they could not see the motive for Shangjiang City and Jiading City to start the war, the city lords believed this explanation. However, the armies of each city are still in a state of low combat readiness, and they maintain a due vigilance against the powerful Terrans and undead races.
It wasn't until the mission announced by Da Liang really appeared and caused a sensation in the entire Shangjiang City, that the city lords were completely relieved.
Then he became envious and jealous of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce.
The mission was composed entirely of dragons, and most people had never heard of them, and only a word about them could be found in the oldest biographies.
A purple dragon that is better at magic than elemental creatures, an indestructible crystal dragon, and the most poisonous dragon in the world.
They are the highest-ranking creatures in the known world, Tier 15 of all races, and because they only appear in lore, they are also generally believed not to really exist.
But they came, and they came to Shangjiang City together.
Three purple dragons, two crystal dragons, and a poisonous dragon make up this luxurious mission.
This means that the three top dragon clans do exist and unite together, and at the same time, if Shangjiang City really reaches a cooperation with the three dragon clans this time, then it will really be soaring, and it will not be able to stop it.
After being ceremoniously welcomed into the city, the dragon envoy stayed in the palace of Shangjiang City.
Then the order of the Imperial Council was sent to the lords of the castle.
At this time, the arrival of the Dragon Clan Mission made the doubts of the city lords completely lost, and all the measures of Shangjiang City and Jiading City were really to welcome their arrival. If the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce reaches a cooperation agreement with the three 15th-order dragon clans this time, then with these dragons escorting on sea and land, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce can at least reduce eighty percent of the escort force and use these military forces for the development of trade routes.
What impact will cooperation with the Three Dragons Clan have on the cities, and will it make the already depressed economy of the cities even more embarrassing, the city lords who are eager to know the answer immediately set off for Shangjiang City after receiving the summoning order.
At this time, the navy had completed control of Shangjiang City, and the army of Jiading City had spread out its own army.
"If there are city lords who oppose me as king, are you going to kill them here?"
Joyce was dressed in a military uniform and walked with Da Liang on the corridor to the conference room, she had just met with the head of the Dragon Clan's Purple Dragon Clan's Purple Spirit Princess, and also experienced Da Liang's special status in this Dragon Alliance, these dragons were still inspecting Shangjiang City, but they had already accepted Da Liang as a single member to become their ally.
In other words, in this palace, whoever Da Liang wants to kill, these six 15th-order dragons will definitely help.
Da Liang walked beside Joyce, the heavily armored Crusader guards stood on either side of the cloister, and in the face of Joyce's inquiry, he replied, "No, this is your palace, you decide." ”
……
At this time, Joyce, who walked outside the door of the conference room, smiled at Da Liang: "Are you willing to push this door open for me?" My knight ......"
"More than willing to serve you, my majesty."
Da Liang pushed open the door to the conference room, and Joyce regained his luxurious bearing, and Da Liang followed her into the conference room.
At this time, the Marquis of Stanley was already sitting in the position of the imperial prime minister, and the other city lords and important ministers had also arrived. After Joyce and Da Liang sat down, all the personnel arrived and the meeting began.
As the host of the meeting, the Marquis of Stanley first said: "This meeting was proposed by the Earl of Daliang, and then the Earl of Daliang will speak about the topics to be discussed in this imperial meeting. ”
Da Liang was greeting Abigail beside him, and when he heard Marquis Stanley call out his name, everyone looked at him, and said: "The delegation composed of the Purple Dragon Clan, the Crystal Dragon Clan, and the Poison Dragon Clan has arrived in Shangjiang and lives in this palace. Everyone already knows about this. They came to Shangjiang this time to inspect us on behalf of the three dragon clans. If they are satisfied with Shangjiang's strength, we can start a deep cooperation with the three dragon clans. ”
Grand Duke Joshua asked, "Will cooperating with the three dragons give us any substantial benefits to the vice-city?" You must know that the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce's monopoly on the Yangtze River trade route has infringed on the interests of our sub-cities. ”
The big highlight said: "Yes, because of the residual contradictions in the past, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce did not take into account the interests of the city lords when developing. It wasn't until the Duke borrowed money from the Marquis of Stanley that I discovered the seriousness of the matter, some of the economic strategies of Shangjiang City and Jiading City were a bit extreme, the previous contradictions had disappeared, everyone was a member of Shangjiang, and they should develop and make money together. ”
Joshua's borrowing of money from the Marquis of Stanley caused a commotion in the meeting. Chongming City even had a day when it borrowed money from Jiading City! At the same time, it also made the city lords and ministers truly feel the power of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce and the wisdom of the previous king.
At this time, the Marquis of Stanley was triumphant, but the Duke of Joshua was blushing with shame, but there was no way, people were poor and short-sighted. He had no choice but to pretend that he hadn't heard those whispers, and asked Da Liang, "So, this cooperation with the Three Dragons Clan can give us the vice cities real benefits?" ”
Da Liang replied, "The Dragon Mission's investigation is still ongoing, and it is still unknown whether cooperation can be reached. But improving the economy of the cities must be done, and it must be done immediately.
Shangjiang City will fund the renovation of the connecting roads of our eight cities, expand the road surface, and make the transportation of goods more smooth, according to the standard repair of the road from Shangjiang to Jiading City. In particular, it is necessary to build a sea bridge connecting Shangjiang City and Chongming City, because this project involves alchemy, it will be handed over to Baoshan City and Chongming City to be completed together, and the construction of other roads will also be handed over to the local city.
Money goes up and out, and you earn money and get a way.
Next, Shuntong Chamber of Commerce cooperates with various cities to invest in the industries you are good at. You only need to be responsible for the production of goods, and all the sales work can be handed over to the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, which will give priority to selling your goods at the best price. Therefore, you can save the cost of sales, and you can also sell goods to a price that you could not buy before, and at the same time use the saved manpower and material resources to expand production and make more money. ”
