"After all, Dabang City is still lively!"

Zong Shen couldn't help but praised.

At present, the territory already has a sense of belonging to "home", but it does not have the vitality of a city.

Like a puppet without a soul.

This is why Zong Shen is imperative to carry out reforms.

Most of the lords are satisfied with Yiyantang's ruling method, but Zongshen is different.

He is by no means satisfied with a small fortune in a small corner.

Zong's goal is to build a truly vibrant city!

Bangcheng during the day is much more lively than late at night.

Walking on the street is also very at ease, and will not encounter too many right and wrong.

Squads of the State Patrol patrolled every street.

Every few hundred meters, there will be an independent sentry tower with a height of 20 to 30 meters dotted in the city.

Different defense nodes are formed.

After riding slowly for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the riverside pier.

Saw the wide Neware River!

The widest part of the river bank is about fifty feet.

The narrower places are twenty or thirty feet long.

When they entered the city just now, they did not cross the Neware River.

Because the location of this river is not in the direction of the green cypress forest.

The scale of the riverside wharf is very large, roughly divided into three areas, and the wharf market is close to the upstream direction.

There are hundreds of ports where merchant ships can stop.

There are also many coolies with small carts waiting for business nearby. They make a living by moving goods.

Each trip is charged according to the type and weight of the cargo.

Tens of thousands of coolies gathered at this pier.

If they are lucky, they can also earn 5 to 10 dinars a day.

Compared with housemaids, coolies do earn more.

After saving money for a few days, it was basically spent either in the tavern or at the gaming table.

Moving bricks during the day is a pain, but at night the tavern is full of big names.

This is a question of urban ethos and orientation.

That is why a good society must have good orientation and moral atmosphere.

It would definitely be a very bad situation if everyone was living a decadent life of drinking today.

It can only be said that the situation in the Endless Continent is different.

After all, most ordinary humans here are still living a medieval backward life.

They are in a state of ignorance both ideologically and in all aspects.

Those advanced mana technologies, engineering technologies, and alchemy technologies have little to do with ordinary people.

The natural magic and corresponding technology that can produce high yields are also mastered by the nobles.

A contradictory world creates contradictory situations.

Zong Shen is fully prepared to suppress the productivity of the people.

He wants to reform, he wants to expand, and only efficient productivity can ensure that he can expand rapidly!

With less land and population, burst out the greatest potential!

Every time Zong Shen comes to an aboriginal city, Zong Shen thinks most about the development strategy of the territory.

Fighting is one aspect, and territory planning and development is another aspect.

The two complement each other and are indispensable.

Zong Shen, who is from the earth, is familiar with world history. He can't be said to be proficient in the prosperity and evolution of a country, but he still has some understanding. It is not a problem to talk about governing the country in Anbang, and it is indeed no problem to plan the development of the territory.

In this regard, there is another problem that many people ignore.

That is, there are talents among the lords.

These talents are involved in various industries above the earth.

There are also some talented people among them.

Currently Zong Shen's [Guide Legion] has merged with Medina's [Light Chaser Legion].

Medina was promoted to be the second deputy head.

Except for kicking people, Zong Shen gave him all authority.

These two days, Zong Shen was busy walking his big eyes, and didn't take much care of the legion.

I heard that Jiang Yi and Medina are teaming up to recruit people for the legion.

As long as the army is upgraded to LV3, [legion garrison] can be opened, and a garrison can be built in an unoccupied land with a radius of three kilometers in this area.

[Legion Building] will be available at the same time.

Among them are some legion buff buildings, which can cover every member.

There are also [Legion Conference Hall], [Legion Blacksmith Shop], [Legion Tailor Shop], [Legion Science and Technology Academy], [Legion Defense Research Institute].

It is said that after being upgraded to a high level, the support portal can also be opened, making the [Legion] members closer together!

The current development of [Legion] is still relatively slow.

Zong Shen's [Guide Legion] is the first legion in this area to be upgraded to LV2.

I dare not say that there are no second-level legions in other areas, but the number is definitely not much.

Because the development of [legion] not only requires the efforts of the legion leader alone.

There are also certain requirements and thresholds for members.

Therefore, the development of [legion] is obviously slower than that of the territory.

However, Zong Shen's [Guide Legion] actually still has enough strength, and it will be able to smoothly rise to LV3 soon.

It's just that everything has to wait until after the defensive challenge is over.

As the "graduation" challenge faced by the first batch of lords, its elimination rate is definitely not low.

Zong Shen was even prepared to lose one-third of the legion members.

When the defensive challenge is over, he can go to receive another wave.

Territories that have failed to challenge will not recover battle losses.

Therefore, it is estimated that there will not be many buildings and personnel brought back, but the lord's legacy stored in the [storage box] is not to be missed. As long as the number is large enough, it is not a small amount to gather together.

Of course, we have to wait until then to see the specific situation.

The three put the horse in the stables of a nearby tavern, and gave the waiter 10 dinars as a tip and storage fee.

The dock area is also a place of mixed fish and dragons.

There is more traffic here than in the suburbs.

Those who can open a tavern here must have some influence in Wintrouban City.

Zong Shen walked in front, Joan of Arc held the spear and Canigia walked half a meter behind.

The pier market ahead is extremely lively.

They are all ship merchants, they don't need warehouses, ships are warehouses.

Some large ship merchants have fixed stalls in the market.

At the same time, there will be three to five inland merchant ships entering the port.

It is very efficient to sell one ship for another.

It is no problem to deal with normal purchases, but it is a bit difficult to purchase goods of six or seven million dinars in one go like Zong Shen.

The total value of a ship's cargo is usually hundreds of thousands of dinars.

However, the wharf market already has a unique countermeasure, if you really encounter buyers who want more goods.

They will discuss with each other and ship merchants with good relations, and jointly supply goods.

Satisfy a buyer with several shipments.

As a reward, other ship merchants participating in the supply will take 20% of the profits to the ship merchants who receive the order.

Everyone eats when there is food, otherwise buyers will choose to go to the other two markets.

For example, the merchants in the Youshang Trading Market where Zong Shen went back last time had sufficient inventory.

The merchant camps in the suburbs are all warehouses!

Although there are storage space magic props in this world.

But the price of that thing is extremely high, and the larger the space, the higher the value.

If you want to rely entirely on storage space for inventory, the price will be too high.

Ordinary business groups store in this way. The flour, dried meat, and cloth purchased by Zong Shen before are all primary commodities, and it is enough to store them in a leather-covered warehouse.

Items with relatively high value such as exquisite mana machines, precious jewelry, high-end equipment, gems, and rare ores will be placed in the storage items of the main leaders of the business group.

In the future, if Zong Shen wants to rob Bangcheng or Jucheng, the first thing he will go to is the Warehouse of Traveling Merchants!

Among other things, at least there will be no shortage of food and cloth!

"Let's go, let's go to the pier market."

"I also want to ask about the price of the ship, but unfortunately this is a downstream port and there is no shipyard."

Zong Shen said with some regret.

Joan of Arc nodded, and she also looked at it strangely along the way.

"This city is suitable for the development of commerce and trade and becomes a transit place for goods."

"Not suitable for combat outposts and workshop cities."

In the Iron Armored Continent, Joan of Arc is also an excellent commander.

Her eyes can also tell the type of a city.

Yes, cities also have types.

This depends on many reasons, doomed from the beginning of the city.

For example, the city of Wintrouban is located in the southern end of the Kingdom of Niwale River.

It is a natural inland port city and can also become a transit point for waterway commodities in the south.

In fact, Wentero has indeed developed by virtue of this advantage.

But it is not suitable for building a fort here.

To the southwest is the green cypress forest, and to the east is a large swamp.

To the north is relatively flat plain terrain.

To the south is still a green cypress forest.

Because of the vastness of the territory, the Endless Continent is often hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

So the topography is still very rich.

Think about the same on the earth, you can always see several kinds of landforms in a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Such a city is not suitable for persistence, but only for circulation and development.

Also in the southern part of the kingdom, Wolf Fang Fort thousands of kilometers away has a natural fortress advantage.

It guards the area of ​​the rift cliffs, facing the rotting bone forest between the Kingdom of Avalon and the Kingdom of Nord, and its location is on a main road.

If you want to detour from other places, you have to walk at least two thousand kilometers more.

Therefore, the positioning of different cities has long been doomed.

However, the lords have more choices than the aborigines.

Lords have a unique digital construction system, except for those special high-level buildings.

Common ordinary buildings can basically be built casually as long as there are blueprints and resources.

There is no construction difficulty, fool-like operation, and the construction time is much shorter than that of the aborigines.

This gave the lords the advantage of building independently.

For example, building a fortress on a plain can be done as long as there are many resources.

No need to rely on any natural hazards.

In addition, the positioning of the city is also related to the positioning of the region by the forces.

Just like the area where Zongshen's territory is located, it was a giant city of the elves more than 10,000 years ago.

The towering ruins of Azshara's towers still exist today!

There is also a certain amount of knowledge in the positioning and judgment of cities.

Zong Shen had no choice. The simplest and most secure method was to build a huge fortress.

…

Just when the three of them walked into the pier market while chatting.

In the conference hall in the central castle of Wintropong City.

There is finally a conclusion about the subsequent inclination and choice of Wintroubang City.

After referring to the suggestions of most people, Earl Marlon Babbitt decided to fall to the Lodbroke family. After all, Wolf Fang Castle is still loyal to the king.

This is basically the case for cities and forces in the entire southern region.

The queen's Trivasin family mainly operates forces in the east and northeast of the kingdom.

He will pass on the results of this discussion to the Babbitt family.

The Babbitt family is mainly in the central and southern regions of the kingdom.

Originally, they all leaned a little towards the king's side.

At this time, the family is also collecting information and feedback from the leaders in various places.

Finally decide which side to take.

After seven or eight hours of discussion, Maren Babbitt finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next thing is also very simple.

The major forces in the state city are willing to pay a sum of money or equivalent materials.

Handed over to Earl Maron Babbitt to expand the size of the State Army.

As a bargaining chip, Earl Mullen must ensure that the property in their state city is not violated.

During the period of turmoil in the kingdom, send more troops and build more towers and fortresses to ensure that the city of Wintrouban will not be affected.

Everyone understands the significance of this money.

It's better to say that it's an exchange of benefits than patching together.

After all, all the people present are living in Wintrouban.

If this place is finished, then everyone will be finished together.

As a southern city, although it is an important inland commercial port, it is downstream after all.

The strategic significance is not as important as that of the upstream cities. There are risks, but not too great.

Earl Marlon naturally understands this, no matter when the storm sweeps through the entire kingdom.

Even a little aftermath would be fatal to Winter Robin.

It is absolutely necessary to prepare in advance.

Once the funds are in place, he will immediately apply to the Sagson Imperial City to garrison troops and stockpile double the supplies.

The plan was clear, and he could breathe a sigh of relief, so he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea to refresh his mind.

At this time, his confidant butler opened the door and came to him, bowing and whispering.

"grown ups."

"Miss Zoe ran out again..."

"Because she didn't have breakfast today, Madam sent someone to knock on the door of her room."

"Then I found out that Miss Zoe was missing..."

"Miss took away the coming-of-age gift you gave her, the set of forged Avalon armor."

"There's also a crossbow and a strike sword..."

the butler said in a low voice.

Earl Marlon frowned.

"Zoe kid..."

"Has she not given up her dream of becoming an adventurer?"

"Immediately inform Ranger Corps Commander Gold~lightnovelpub.net~ to ask him to draw out two brigades of Rangers and search for them along the main road of Bangcheng."

"In addition, after the meeting is over, I will privately notify a few street gangsters to help find them!"

"Don't post a reward for now, and don't say anything, it's a sensitive time!"

"Ma'am, I will go to appease you."

"Zoe is wearing a storage necklace, which contains a lot of spell scrolls and alchemy potions. She won't be so prone to accidents."

"Madam, I will go to appease you."

He tilted his head slightly, and whispered an order to the butler.

"I understand my lord, I'll do it now!"

The housekeeper nodded and turned away quickly!
