"Andrell, what do you think those orcs look like? Is there a difference between those orcs from the Ancient Continent and the orcs from the Southern Continent? "At the gate of the lavish aristocratic manor, a young and beautiful aristocratic woman dressed in a sunset dress, accompanied by a young man in the uniform of the military academy on the other side, left the manor and made the gate to Atlantis.

"Honestly, I don't know." The young officer known as Andrell thought for a while and said helplessly: "Nier, although I was fortunate to be a staff officer in an orc heavy infantry regiment a few months ago, you know, the orc warriors are basically soldiers above two meters tall, and I heard that the orcs are even much shorter than me, so it is impossible for me to meet those orcs at all, and as far as I know, although the empire has 4 orc heavy infantry regiments, all the corps are stationed in the New Delhi Peninsula. ”

"That's going to be tough." The aristocratic child known as Niel frowned: "Andrell, you don't know, this time His Majesty has brought nearly a million orc residents from New Delhi to the Western Continent, and my father's Ryan Chamber of Commerce is mainly responsible for the food sales in various towns outside Atlantis. ”

"Nelle, don't worry too much, although I don't know the eating habits of orcs, but I think since they are all from the New Delhi Peninsula, the eating habits of orcs should be similar to those of people who never set the sun." Andrael laughed.

"Too, huh? No, it's blocked again. The two men sitting in the carriage clearly felt that the carriage had stopped moving forward. And Nier, who has a "rich" experience, guessed the reason why the carriage stopped after frowning slightly.

"It seems that since the empire decided to move its capital, Atlantis City has reached this point of congestion." Andrél, looking out of the window of the carriage, noticed that the road in front of him was already crowded with countless two-horse carriages. also said with a slight sigh.

"In fact, since the renovation of Atlantis City was completed two years ago, these roads leading to the gate have been very blocked." For this friend who has been away for a few years to join the army, Niel knows that the other party's cognition is still stuck in the city of Atlantis, which has not yet recovered its vitality a few years ago. Coupled with a slight desire to show off to him what she had seen and heard in the Southern Continent in the past few years, Nier began to be very excited to introduce the new Western Continent to Andrell: "In fact, I have experienced this kind of traffic jam many times in the past few years, but it was okay before, this situation is at most a few more minutes on the road, but in the last few months, it has not worked. ”

"Oh? What does this say? ”

"Andreel, you may not know, because the empire needs Atlantis City to have more and larger ports to accommodate the Imperial Harbour Department and Warship R&D Department relocated from the New Delhi Peninsula, etc., Sun Linmian has already issued a plan to expand the port area of Atlantis City to both sides a few months ago, of course, because this expansion is a military port, and the supporting facilities and other defense systems should be built together. So this time, Sun Linmian simply asked Atlantis City to expand two new urban areas on both sides! Did you know two? And it is said that 5 million gold coins were invested in advance in the plan at the beginning! ”

"This empire shouldn't have that much money, right?" Regarding the news of the replacement of combat equipment within the army and the reform of the old army system, small officers like Andrell who have been temporarily idle have heard a little, and incidentally, they also know that the empire has some gaps in capital spending, of course, because this is the internal news of the imperial army, so it is impossible for Andrell to directly say something like "How can the empire allocate 5 million to build a new city in Atlantis City when it has no money" or something like that.

"No, to be exact, these funds are basically from us imperial upstarts." Niel smiled: "Don't look at my father, who has been a grain merchant for a few years after abandoning the earldom, in this investment, my father pulled his mall friend to invest one-fifth of the pre-invested funds at once, that is, 1 million gold coins. ”

"1 million!" Even Andrell, who had seen the world in the army, couldn't help but jump after hearing this number, knowing that the sun never sets gold coins are made of pure gold. It is the most valuable gold coin in the King Continent, and the price of 100 gold coins is enough to match the cost of a month's high-end food even for a noble family like Nier, and 1 million gold coins that never set the sun. Andrell knew that the money would be enough for the Empire to create a new local legion.

Andrell knows that the sun never sets, as long as he is successful in business, he is basically a rich guy. But he didn't expect that just a small grain merchant group in a province of the empire would be able to come up with 1 million gold coins that the sun never sets. And apparently this money will not affect the savings of its foundation.

"That's 1 million, although this money has almost taken out all the liquidity of our guilds. But according to my father and uncle, the investment was definitely worth it. ”

In fact, the two of them do not have a comprehensive understanding of the relocation of the capital and the migration of the half-orc population, and the matter of Nier's father's investment in the construction of the city, although the matter they said about investment is indeed this matter, but this matter is actually limited to those Atlantean nobles who are engaged in business, and those rich people who do not have a noble status themselves are not qualified to invest at all.

After the people of the Atlantean Empire submitted to the Empire, according to the statistics of the Imperial Ministry of Civil Affairs, there were about 1,000 Atlantean nobles loyal to the Empire, of course, most of them were barons, lords, and almost none of the viscounts, let alone earls and above.

They are a huge wealth, because they have the ability to govern and manage that civilians do not have, but they are also a time bomb, after all, the two previous counterattacks on Atlantis in the Western Continent basically have the shadows of these Atlante nobles behind them, although these shadows are the old nobles of the Atlanta Empire at that time.

In order to appease and co-opt these nobles for their own use, the empire created the largest aristocratic canonization in the history of the empire, and because of this incident, the Atlantis city was huge, and these Atlantan nobles loyal to the empire were all replaced with the title of nobles of the sun almost overnight, although only at the baronial level.

Correspondingly, they have obtained a corresponding convenient road both on the road of politics and business, you must know that these two wheels are one of the three most popular roads in the empire at present, although the army is the best road, but the problem is that this road has a very high mortality rate.

It is precisely because of a series of preferential policies of the empire that although the new sun never sets nobles have to accept the Christian doctrine of the sun never sets: do not seek faith but must admit it, accept the impact of the sun never set culture, etc., but over time, these imperial magnates from the Atlantans of the Western Continent can be said to be the most loyal of all the new magnates in the empire.

Therefore, when the empire raised funds to expand Atlantis City this time, this group of magnates from Atlantis actually invested as much as 10 million gold coins that never set at once, you must know that the compensation of the two empires of the empire that never sets and the Middle Continent is only 50 million in exchange for half a year, and it is paid in installments, and this group of surrendered magnates under the protection of the empire actually took out more than 1/5 of the war compensation at once, it is absolutely impossible to say that Sun Lin is not red-eyed.

Of course, the red eyes are red, this time the financing exceeds the first phase of the project Qian Sun Lin will not obediently return it, anyway, after the first fundraising, Sun Lin at least transferred more than 5 million gold coins to the navy: the Xiyi fleet and the Xiyi army will be reborn with the sunset battleship group (after all, with the expansion of the battle area, the shortcomings of the Xiyi fleet's mobility have been exposed, and the imperial fleet still has to be built with standard imperial warships), and this requires funds, while ensuring the stability of the empire, Inland fleets such as Neijiang and Neihu, which are extended by the Navy, also need to be formed.

At the same time, Sun Lin had already planned to start a second round of fundraising after a while, and extended this practice to the other two continental plates of the empire - the Western Regions of the Central Continent and the Northwest Regions, as for the Northwest Continent, there was no longer a need for the empire to invest a lot of materials and financial resources to transform.

As for why Sun Lin was able to raise funds so easily, it was very simple: first, Sun Lin sold the right to use some of the land for the expansion of the new city to these magnates.

In terms of land, Sun Lin didn't feel anything wrong with selling the land of his new capital, the addresses of the migrated orcs have been allocated, and the land that belongs to the various departments of the empire has also been allocated, and the rest is like being auctioned off to the merchants. Maybe these guys may be used to build their own aristocratic manors at that time, but Sun Lin estimates that these guys who have tasted the sweetness must be more developed trade areas, red light districts, etc., so this will not conflict with Sun Lin's urban planning, right? Speaking of which, the empire just made less money from the sale of land, and this money is not also obtained in the form of financing?

As for the secondary and even tertiary financing of Xincheng, Sun Lin has actually thought about how to maximize the exploitation of those lambs who have been sent into the tiger's mouth: the Imperial Navy currently has at least more than 100 broken warships, and Sun Lin is ready to sell these unwarships after removing all the war equipment; At the same time, the empire still has a huge amount of ammunition on hand, and if the replaced equipment is distributed and sold through the Guò Sun Never Setting Chamber of Commerce and the mercenary union, the money will definitely flow into the empire's treasury.

Although, according to the current development plan of the empire, it will not be more than a few days before the money that flows into the treasury will inevitably flow out again.

"Andrell, it seems that we are in luck." The aristocratic girl Niel smiled at the Imperial officer who was also making a carriage: "The traffic jam is over, get ready, let me show you the new Atlantis City this time." (To be continued......)
