The Great Conqueror

Avril Lavigne came with a caravan. This is just the first wave, and there will be more supplies in the future.

However, supplies are divided into two categories, one is luxury goods, who is Zou Liang, he accepted Dolan City, Dolan City is poor and white, relying on the points given above, it is completely a dream, as for the brother cities, it is even more unreliable, the biggest advantage of Dolan City is black market transactions, which used to be controlled by the Axis, but now it must be controlled by him, the city lord.

Exporting luxury goods in exchange for useful things is simply killing two birds with one stone, and those who don't do it are fools.

Although the other empires have become stronger, they are still fond of Mengjia's things in their bones, especially the luxury goods of the Holy See, which are widely circulated among the nobles of other empires.

They are all orcs, and no one is a saint. There are people who do not enjoy living, but whether the degree and atmosphere have a standard.

Mengjia enjoyment has become the main theme now, while other empires are just a kind of adjustment for the strong to enjoy life.

Money is not important, the key can be exchanged for urban construction materials, food and other things. After all, Zou Liang's own money is not enough to add, but to find a way to make money.

Avril Lavigne earns a lot from the ticket of the imperial capital, but building a city is not about raising the city. The gold and silver mountains will also be exhausted one day. How to restore Duolan City to normal is the key.

Let me introduce Avril to Jacques Bran. Many economic activities are carried out through two people, and Bran has followed the noble etiquette.

"Viscount Bran, I have a question. What was the real purpose of the Axis Council to increase taxes blindly?"

Zou Liang took the time to ask this more important question. In the process of ransacking the homes of the three major families, the initial capital for urban construction would be enough. Such a wealthy Axis Society should not be concerned with the little money in Feng Town.

"The city lord is wise, and his subordinates are about to report this matter, but they don't know how to say it. The Axis Society expropriated the land at the beginning, mainly because they wanted the land in Fengzhen!"

Observing Arthur's management direction in the past few days, Bran already has a bottom line. It can be seen that the city lord is more ruthless. He doesn't look at the process, but only the results. As long as it is beneficial to Dolan City, he can do anything.

"Hehe, the underground trading venue?"

"Your Majesty the City Lord is wise. As you know, the Council of Elders has regulations in this regard, and the country is closed to the outside world, but the benefits are huge. All places are secretly doing it, but the scale is small, and the risk of caravan entry and exit is also very high. If you succeed, you will gain everything, but if you are lucky, you will lose everything."

Bran said.

There are two biggest problems in doing this kind of business, one is Mengjia's safety, and the other is the safety of the outside world.

The Axis Society wanted to conduct an underground transaction in Feng Town, contacting Hannibal, the Wind Country, and some reliable Mengjia caravans for an intermediary transaction. In the middle of this, a lot of contribution was reduced, but this matter can only be done secretly.

"Hehe, it looks like you've been preparing for it for a long time." Zou Liang glanced at Bran. After so much trouble, the Axis Club has obviously contacted people from all three parties.

Jacques Bran was no longer amazed at Arthur's foresight. This is no priest, he is obviously a veteran smuggler.

"The city lord is wise. In fact, when the governor of Ayasen was here, these transactions have been going on all the time. It was just a simple matchmaking, but it also formed a network of relationships. The barbarian army made such a fuss, but it gave an opportunity. The boundary broken by the war, the towns outside Dolan City have existed in name only. It is a confusing boundary, which can form a more direct trading place, and everyone feels safer in this kind of place." "Hehe, I am very interested in this list."

Zou Liang looked at Bran, and Bran understood, took out a brocade from his bosom, and Avril on the side took it.

"Mengjia has contacted twelve business groups internally, which have been screened, fifteen from the Windy Kingdom, twenty-one from Hannibal, three from the Wilderness Region, and five from other scattered groups."

Bran whispered.

Zou Liang didn't change his face, but he was already scolding in his heart, what a big deal, I don't know how big these business groups are, if they are big enough, they can make a lot of money.

"Viscount Bran, you've done a good job, you need to worry about this matter."

"I am willing to help!" Bran bowed quickly.

In fact, Arthur could completely exclude the Bran family at this time, but Arthur didn't do so. Why bother? It's not Zou's style to follow others against oneself.

Moreover, the Bran family has been tossing for so many years, so they must be proficient, especially some details, which cannot be taken over by a newcomer.

"Vivi, do you know anything?"

"Brother, there is a caravan from the Fickro family."

Zou Liang was not too surprised. The Ficklow family, which is known as an incomparably rich country, must have spread their businesses all over the world.

This is the real businessman.

"Very well, you are also planning to keep a decent caravan. Learn from Viscount Bran. Maple Town alone is not enough. Viscount Bran, how do you think I will open up Fengzhen and Qiufeng Town as trading places?"

Zou Liang licked his lips and had to say that when Zou Shengun transformed into Zou Shanggun, his greed was beyond imagination.

Bran was taken aback, "My lord, you mustn't do it. If you do it so clearly, the higher-ups will know that this is a clear violation of the resolution of the Council of Elders. Just suppressing this one will be dangerous!"

There is another sentence that Bran didn't dare to say, the closed door was ordered by the Holy See, and he has been sticking to it all these years. In his bones, Zou Liang is a member of the Holy See.

Of course Zou Liang knew that the energy of the Holy See was within Mengjia, and he had no time to care about him, and he was worried about foreign enemies, so he used this trick. But it had been so many years, and he was suffocated to death after being locked up, and even if he closed the country, it didn't mean that the enemies didn't know, and Mengjia's prosperity could be smelled thousands of miles away.

"Viscount Bran, you are thinking too much. I just want to hold a donation meeting. Think about it, Dolan City has just been invaded by barbarians and suffered heavy losses. As a citizen of the empire, shouldn't some pious believers come to help donate some supplies? The Council of Elders will also encourage it!"

Zou Liang said, with ruthlessness in his eyes.

The elders will be stingy to death, and the consul's support is even more fart. None of the surrounding cities can be relied on, so we still have to rely on ourselves.

One thing Zou Liang can be sure of is that if he is not openly waving the banner of openness, the Pope will not do anything to him. Not to mention that he is now representing the Pope, and everyone is hurt.

Of course, the intelligence work must be done well, and those who come to make troubles and those with malicious intentions must be dealt with. What is the apostle ranks for, even if they give Triangle Eye a little more money.

If you don't do it, you are waiting to die. If you do it well, it is an opportunity.

"Viscount Bran, what you need to consider is how to do it well, and you don't have to worry about the rest. You have to understand that we are grasshoppers on the same rope, and we must work together!"

"I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the city lord!"

Bran is convinced, this is more ruthless than these businessmen, and he really dares to fight, sometimes he can't figure out what the young city lord in front of him really wants?

money? It seems that he has no shortage of ? status? He has better options?

So ruthless and happy to fight? It seems that he can't get into this position!

Devout believers, in order to follow the glory of the beast god? Damn it, Bran himself felt his hairs stand on end, isn't that farting.

Zou Liang rubbed his head and waved his hands, and Viscount Bran left in a hurry.

"Brother, if you do this, the Senate will definitely know about it." Avril Lavigne said, "We still have a lot of money on hand."

"Hehe, Weiwei, that's just a drop in the bucket. It's nothing at all. I'm going to make a big splash in Feng Town and Qiufeng Town. The Council of Elders will definitely know about it, but there is always a way. In fact, those nobles in the Council of Elders who are full and have nothing to do all day don't even know whether Duolan City is square or round. In their eyes, there is only the imperial capital, and there are only benefits."

With the experience of two lifetimes, Zou Lian couldn't understand what these people think, especially in the case of Meng Jia.

The five big families don’t have low-level businesses, otherwise why would they make money? They just don’t allow ordinary people to make money. The Fickello family is on the caravan list, and the Nicholas family is probably indispensable. Of course, Zou Liang will not stop it, but will welcome it very much.

In Avril's eyes, Arthur has become more and more domineering, and the imperial capital is strategizing, and then there is a huge turning point, choosing this place, what kind of path will the eldest brother take, no matter what, Avril is full of expectations, life is not just for living.

After sending Avril away, Zou Liang rubbed his head. He was really busy these days. Governing a city is very cumbersome. Fortunately, Zou Liang is an educated person. It is useless to worry about everything, and it is useless for him to be exhausted. He believes in the people around him.

At present, a basic layout has finally been worked out. It will take some time for the team to get in touch, but it is not a big problem for him to control the overall situation.

What Zou Liang needs to consider now is a longer-term thing, that is, the safety of the town.

At present, Duolan City does not have enough manpower to defend. Attacking is a dream, but defending is not Zou Shengun's character. If he robs him, he still wants to rob him!

Conscription is imperative, but I am more worried about the standard. I have to say that the standard of Duolan City is relatively poor. This is an indisputable fact. If it is put into the army establishment, the cost will be huge.

All of a sudden, Zou Shenstick was happy, grandma, I also like to go to the dead end, in fact, it is really easy to do it.

All people are soldiers strategy!

It can also be called the militia reserve. After all, there is a barbarian army invading ahead, and the residents of Duolan City will still respond. If they have a certain fighting quality, it is a way to enhance the city's combat effectiveness.

The orc people are tough, just need to dig a little, and they will definitely form a very impressive combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, Zou Liang also laughed. As for the problem of lack of masters, it really can’t be solved for a while. Facing the strong, he is the only one who is really difficult to attack. It seems that Duolan City is strong enough, but in fact, if a Jinyao-level master comes, Duolan will be in a hurry. And if a city does not have a Jinyao-level level, no matter how strong it is, it will be a show.

Zou Liang knew that only he could bear this important task, just like the barbarian invasion last time, if he hadn't severely injured Aiolia in time, Dolan City would have been destroyed.

Speaking of Aiolia, Zou Liang had a premonition that they would definitely meet again!

Why come back here?

ambition? ideal?

Only Zou Liang himself knows that sometimes the truth is really simple, but everyone ignores it...

Dolan City ushered in a wave of returning to the city. When the orcs scattered in Dolan City heard that Arthur had returned and became the city lord, they wiped out the Axis Society in one fell swoop and vigorously rebuilt the city.

The construction of Duolan City and the surrounding two big towns started vigorously. The caravans brought by Avril Lavigne began to enter in a steady stream, and at the same time began to purchase some necessary materials from the surrounding cities. Perhaps due to the pressure of the Council of Elders, they only increased the price by 10%. Zou Liang also endured it.

Although there were many problems, there were also unexpected surprises. That was the manpower problem that Zou Liang was worried about. He really wanted to build Dolan City well. He forgot that most of the orcs in Dolan City wanted to build a good home!

I was unwilling to do it before because of the coercion of the Axis Society, but not now, the orcs are spontaneously helping. All the damaged city walls have been torn down and rebuilt. Most of them have experienced wars.

Everywhere in the city is full of busy situations, and Bran is also sweating, because he knows very well that Lord Arthur seems not interested in the so-called aristocratic privileges, and he hates standing still and doing nothing. After all, he was also a member of the Axis. He must be active.

Kurt and Randy also went to their own towns. The city construction is easier. The towns are more about recovery and normal life, especially agricultural production. The fertile land of these two towns originally formed the main source of food for Dolan City.

When Kurt and Randy came to their residence, they also found something strange... The unmanned situation they were worried about did not appear, because there were many more orcs, and they were obviously not from Dolan City.

Randy is usually careless, but a man will mature, especially when he is trusted to accept important responsibilities, he does not want to disappoint Arthur, and he wants to prove to everyone that Arthur is right, and Randy is also capable.

Already smart, this time will appear more careful.

The orcs came from surrounding cities, or even further away, and some were brought back by the orcs in Dolan City, because Arthur was exempted from taxes for three years, and Dolan City was indeed in a state of trance due to the war, but this meant that the soil was fertile, rested for a long time, and it was close to the wilderness.

This is also a huge problem that Zou Liang discovered. The gap between the rich and the poor in Mengjia has reached an astonishing level.

The aristocrats can throw gold coins, but ordinary orcs can’t even see the gold coins. After all, Zou Liang came from Jerusalem. It can be compared with the ladder gap between Jerusalem, Daros and the imperial capital, and Duolan City is not as good as Jerusalem.

But even a place like Duolan City can breed nobles like the Four Great Families.

If it weren't for the long-term influence of the Holy See, God knows that Meng Jia has been in turmoil several times. Meng Jia seems to be the most balanced in the Beast God Continent. The Holy See, the Consul, the Engraving Masters Guild check and balance each other, and there is also the impartial Elders' Council, but these are all superficial and constant consumption.

Three years of tax exemption, for ordinary orcs, this is enough for them to move.

Of course, the Doran City area is indeed more dangerous, but Arthur has repelled the demon lion before, and he is also the number one master of the newly promoted young generation. The confidence of the imperial capital has gradually spread, and there is no lack of exaggeration in it. Under such circumstances, the orcs are willing to give it a go.

When he saw Randy and Kurt's report, Zou Liang was dumbfounded with joy. It turns out that the land is so powerful no matter in the previous life or in this life!

City Hall once again released an exciting news.

Zou Liang received not only a lot of gold coins but also land from the extinct three major families. During this period of time, the three major families got all the former consul's land and the temple land into their own pockets, but now it is cheaper for Zou Liang. In addition, the Bran family voluntarily handed over the land. Basically, the land in Duolan City and its surrounding areas has been taken back by Zou Liang.

Except for the necessary places in future projects, Zou Liang must keep them. The rest of the land will be rented out free of charge for three years. Anyone who wants to rent can come to the city hall, but the premise is that they must make the best use of them, and the most important thing is that they can also receive free seeds from the city hall.

This made the orcs a little unbelievable. Whoever became the city lord didn't try his best to make money... How could they send it out like this? ? ?

But who is Arthur? The High Priest Arthur is a man who promises everything.

Article 2 of the city hall, whenever the wasteland is reclaimed, the reclaimer can obtain the right to use the reclaimed land for ten years without paying taxes, and the second ten years, half tax, can go to the city hall for certification!

As soon as these two new regulations came out, the orcs went crazy. Mengjia's land was basically divided up by the nobles, where the ordinary orcs had it, and the surplus belonged to the Pope. Basically, the tax was very high, and now it is free for ten years!

I have to say that the orcs are a little crazy!

Of course, it is very difficult to reclaim wasteland. It is more suitable for young orcs, or a group of aggressive young orcs, and renting is also very good. After all, they are very mature land. These two options have greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of orcs.

Of course, in the surrounding cities, and even in the province of Divine Grace, it has also caused great controversy.
