Chapter 807: Empire's Prospect (2)

"Chinokov, do you think they will be as honest as I hope when they go back?" On the top of the wide hall, Sun Lin, who was leaning on the throne, watched several shareholders of the Colorful Bird Guild leave, and asked the leader of the remaining high-level Colorful Bird Guild under the throne, Of course, the current Chinokfu is no longer the president of the Colorful Bird Guild, but the incoming head of the Sunset Continent Headquarters.

The final result of the Colorful Bird Guild was not beyond Sun Lin's expectations, and the dozen or so people who came were finally divided into two groups, one group was the high-level personnel of the Colorful Bird Guild, including the president of Chinokov, the vice president, and some such as the Minister of Capital Flow Management, etc., basically they all have a characteristic, that is, they are not the real holders of the colorful birds, because their main industries and family backgrounds are not all in the Colorful Bird Guild.

And the rest is the real holder of the Colorful Bird Guild: the shareholder group of the Colorful Bird Guild, these people are basically 90% of their net worth linked to the Colorful Bird, compared to the people of Chinokov, if they really sign Sun Lin's agreement, it is equivalent to copying all their family funds, and they are reluctant.

"Your Majesty, this" Glancing at a few companions around him who did not look very good, Chinokov finally shook his teeth and said to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to ask His Majesty a question first, can His Majesty really be able to take our family to the Western Regions of the Central Continent within a month?" ”

"Chinokov, are you questioning my credibility?" Sun Lin slowly sat upright, and commented on the Chinokov in a faint tone and said, "You must know that although I like to give authority to my subordinates to deal with it themselves, it will always be the end. No one has ever dared to question what I promised to do or what I was told. ”

"Don't you dare!" Several high-ranking personnel of the Colorful Bird and Chinokov immediately bowed down in front of the throne and said in fear: "Since the ministers have signed the agreement. I will do my best to work for the empire on which the sun never sets, but I really haven't seen my family for more than a month. And this will have to wait for at least a month, so the ministers will wait for His Majesty, and the end of August is the reunion festival of our Naer people, so we will be so out of shape, and hope that Your Majesty will be gracious. ”

"Then forget it this time, but I'll sue you for the sake of peace of mind for the rest of you." Sun Lin thought about it, and felt that he had almost finished acting, and it was time to stop, so he motioned to the Chinokov and the others with both hands to stand up and said, "My royal warhawk has already taken off the moment you signed the letter of appointment. As long as no one runs around in your family, I think cavalry regiment should send them to Dick City safely, don't worry, I have sent people from the intelligence network to protect the safety of your family a long time ago, and I guarantee that they will be absolutely intact when they go to the Western Regions of the Central Continent. ”

Sure enough, the Majesty in front of him was completely prepared, although he had just stepped into the high-level of the Sunset Empire, he had already heard of the name of the Imperial Intelligence Network, Qinokev: "Your Majesty, although the Kinoniv are ambitious. But they don't have a lot of courage, and while I can't give an exact answer, at least there shouldn't be any problems until they return to the Empire's northeastern frontier, but"

I thought about it. In the end, Chinokov gritted his teeth and said, "But Your Majesty Sun Lin, I'm afraid that those people, under the instigation of each other, may take advantage of this incident to change the clan." After all, although the area where our colorful birds are located has been clearly defined as the territory of the empire, not all the people who live there think so. ”

Chinokov was right. In fact, what Chinokov said is also one of the hidden dangers of the Sunset Empire after its rapid rise: although the Sunset Empire spans four continental plates, it is precisely because the area spanned is too large. In addition, the imperial army was basically in a state of expedition before, although a large number of territories within the empire have been digested, and plans such as cultural erosion and spiritual erosion have been implemented, there are still many areas that are nominally part of the empire but semi-detached from the empire.

These regions may pay taxes to the Empire, or they may accept the Christianity and culture of the Empire, but the people in these areas do not really identify with the Empire in a general consciousness, they only regard the Empire as a new lord or a replacement for the nobles in the original territory, and the northeastern frontier of the Empire, where the Colorful Bird Guild is located, is also one of such regions.

The people of these areas are like inert gases, which are generally harmless, but if something stimulates them, then they are very likely to become a huge powder keg, and the power that can burst out will be incomparable, and now, Sun Lin's order to reform the clan is very likely to become an irritant.

As for whether the people dare or not, in fact, those who know the empire during the war in the northwest region of the Central Continent know that in fact, the countries that the empire really conquered in this region did not include the Helgen Kingdom, and the Helgen Kingdom was completely wiped out by the troops of the underground dynasty, and the empire just took nearly half of the territory of the Helgen Kingdom from the underground dynasty without a single soldier after the complete collapse of the high-level of the Helgen Kingdom, and the empire did not issue a lore order when conquering the Northwest Regions like in the Western Regions of the Central Continent, so to speakThe prestige of the empire in the territory of the former Helgen has always been low, because after this area was captured, except for those important mines, the empire did not pay attention to it!

"If it's just what you say, then it doesn't matter." Sun Lin suddenly left his throne and began to walk to the back of the palace: "Chinokov, you have to remember, I can let the group of guys below wipe the Helgen Kingdom from the mainland, and I will also have the ability to ask them to wipe the Helgen people from the earth, as for those who have fled or are in other regions, Chinokov, if you want, I can let you take a look at the tip of the iceberg of the Imperial Intelligence Network, then be it, Prance, take a few new courtiers of our empire to rest, I think they should be exhausted today. ”

Sun Lin's words were like a basin of cold water poured on the bodies of several high-ranking members of the original Colorful Bird Guild, and at this time, the Chinokovs woke up, and they realized that the few of them and the people who left were just some frogs at the bottom of the well. What kind of conspiracy, when the time comes, Sun Lin only needs to send a force to wipe out the Helgen people from the northern frontier of the empire. At that time, what he did was not a child's play in the eyes of the person in front of him.

Unlike Chinokov and the others, who were still smiling wryly in the main hall at this time, Sun Lin was very busy. Or for him, this is just one of the trivial things he has encountered in recent days, which is not very important, and he is more concerned about the transformation of the land in the Western Continent than these.

Excluding the Ancient Continent and some islands scattered in the open sea and the inland sea, the territorial plate of the Sunset Empire can currently be divided into 4 large blocks, that is, the 4 continental plates currently controlled by the Sunset Empire, and among them, the Western Continental Plate, even if you count the Thousand Islands distributed above the sea, the Western Continent Plate is the least total area of all the plates of the Empire.

But what the world doesn't know is that if you calculate the usable area of each continent. The Western Continent is the second largest of the four major plates of the empire, and the western continent is also the most fertile of the four major plates of the empire.

The Northwest Continent, although it was the first continent that the Sun Never Sets Empire intervened in and occupied, but the terrain was mostly mountainous and deep forests, and the Empire developed this land for ten years, although the materials needed for this continent could be completely made from local materials, but the complex terrain was not suitable for building cities, let alone cultivating farmland, even if the Sun Never Set Empire introduced terraces and ditches and other designs, it would not help, so to speak. With the current construction technology of the Empire, the Northwest Continent has been developed to be able to develop quickly, and the rest are all extremely difficult bones, wanting to turn the Northwest Continent upside down again. Unless the empire entered the early industrial age, it is basically free to talk about it.

The Northwest Region of the Central Continent has to admit that the Northwest Region of the Central Continent is indeed a huge, fertile and extremely flat continent. It has the first plain of the empire, the first grassland, and the snowy plateau rich in minerals in the north. To the east, there is a large river basin known as the Golden River.

However, the sun never sets is very difficult for the development of this area. Moreover, it is impossible for this region to develop rapidly in a short period of time for three main reasons.

First, the northwest region of the Central Continent is a rich and fertile plain, but there is an extreme lack of stone and wood, from the plate of this continent, it can be found that there are almost no forests on this continental plate, the west and southwest are huge and fertile grasslands, the middle is an endless field, that is, a huge plain area, and the east is a desert area, the north is the same as the east of the snowy plateau, even the huge swamp that divides the west and the east, the growth is only some low trees, The quality of the wood is not up to standard at all, as for the stone points that can be mined in these areas, there are even fewer pitiful points, the only thing that can be mined in large quantities is the snowy plateau, but in the medieval era, the difficulty of transporting a stone to thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers away is comparable to climbing to the sky, not to mention that the starting point is still the thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain area where most people cannot survive.

Second, in the original plan, the sun never set on the northwest region of the Central Continent as the most wanted to develop the continental plate, although there is the most fertile soil in the empire, but the northwest region of the Central Continent is more fertile grassland, and as the Cuman tribe of the country, Sun Lin hopes that the northwest region of the Central Continent will become the largest grassland of the empire, rather than an economic center, cultural center, etc.

As for the third, it has already been mentioned before: the sense of belonging of the subjects of the northeastern frontier of the empire.

As for the Western Regions of the Central Continent, which has just ended a war that will affect the entire continent, it is even more unlikely that it will become an area that the Empire has valued in recent years, although the Empire must do its best to restore this area, but to put it bluntly, this area is a springboard for the future Empire to attack the Central Continent, and before the Empire fails to occupy the territory of the Central Continent, no matter how well this region develops, maybe it will be destroyed in the war at that time.

Therefore, it is reasonable that the Western Continent has become the best location for the empire to move its capital, and it is also the easiest to develop and the most rewarding continental plate in the development of the empire at this stage.

First of all, as a large territory left over from the original great empire-level forces of the King Continent, although this land has suffered two large-scale wars and one invasion in recent years, on the whole, the land of the Western Continent has not been damaged much, and after the introduction of new construction technology, farming technology and other infrastructure construction technologies in the Sun Never Setting Empire, the land of the Western Continent has not only recovered its original fertility, but also climbed up a lot, so to speak, At present, the infrastructure of the Western Continent has surpassed the Northwest Continent, which was first occupied by the Empire, in many aspects.

Because the empire almost does not need to build better farmland, irrigation systems, urban canals, stone and brick avenues, etc., on the continental plate of the western continent, as it did when it went to the other three continents, these high-end infrastructure The original Atlantis Kingdom has been built for the Sunset Empire, for Sun Lin, the only thing to do now is to make all the sunsets on this continent, and then expand all the original cities into more high-end and prosperous giant cities, and build hundreds of new towns and villages according to the recommendations of the Sunset Commercial Guild and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, transforming the entire western continent inland into the most prosperous economic belt in the mainland.

Of course, both of these and these require two premises: money and population.

Fortunately, although Sun Lin has stopped foreign wars, the Daozhì Empire is unable to plunder a large number of people, and the supply of the slave trade market in the King's Continent has almost been exhausted due to the large purchases of the Sunset Empire, but the Empire's labor force does not depend solely on the human race, or rather, the Empire's desire to obtain a large number of labor is not limited to the King's Continent.

On the Desolate Continent not far from the King's Continent, the empire has a million working people who are about to migrate to the western continent with the empire's capital, and at the same time, in the more distant inland of the desolate continent, with the red fortress control area, the empire has tens of millions of cheap laborers waiting for the empire to plunder in wartime.

As the original birthplace of the Empire, the New Delhi Peninsula is still the pearl of maritime trade, but it will eventually be pushed down by Atlantis City with the relocation of the capital and the transfer of the center of the empire, after all, Atlantis City has a greater development value than the city of London, which is almost impossible to expand again.

The architectural planning of the New Delhi Peninsula had already been completed the year before, and the empire could barely expand for the city of London, which eventually became a megacity that could accommodate nearly a million people, but this was not enough, for a large imperial power, only a million-level city as the capital is a little shabby.

And Atlantis, as a thousand-year-old city, but did not show a trace of old age, perhaps the Atlantans worship the vast sea, Atlantis City in the sun never set just when it was captured, has reached the capacity of 2 million people, you must know that this era is the medieval era, whether it is health, public security, transportation, etc. are several times worse than modern cities, and the population capacity of modern cities, large almost 10 million, as a giant capital in the medieval era, Atlantis, on the other hand, is one-fifth the size of a modern megacity, and it is clearly the perfect place to be the new capital of the empire on which the sun never sets.

But this is difficult to do, the imperial military reform needs money, the restoration of the Western Regions of the Central Continent also needs money, and the reorganization of the Second Fleet of the Empire also needs money, not to mention the development plan of the Western Continent planned by Sun Lin at this time, and various places also need money, for example, transporting huge labor from the New Delhi Peninsula is a huge expense, and the construction of new cities in various regions also needs funds.

"Having money is not everything, but you can't do anything without money!" Sun Lin sighed helplessly. (To be continued......)
