Chapter 513 [How many people attend the seat?]

These big and small chambers of commerce dare to go around the world, which chamber of commerce does not keep some warriors and guards?

There are no expressways and trains in this world. The transportation of goods in the southeast, west and northeast depends entirely on the wheels and horse hooves of the caravan to measure the land of the empire.

It is common to walk thousands of miles. If there is no guard force in the caravan, then I am afraid that the chariots, road tyrants, or bandits, horses, etc. along the way will eat you until you are not left with any bones.

It may be a little better in China, after all, it is still the kingly world, with a stable imperial government, and overall local peace.

But if you put your business to the northwest grassland or the orcs in the north, then it will be impossible to move without some defense.

Therefore, it is not too difficult to get out of a wealthy chamber of commerce and arm a hundred people.

Some large top chambers of commerce, such as the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce or the Lister family, have thousands of armors in private - although the imperial law does not allow merchants to maintain private troops. From the perspective of the Imperial Code, having private troops is a privilege for a small number of nobles.

But those large top chambers of commerce will naturally take advantage of loopholes. They hire or raise some warriors themselves, and only say they are porters or ordinary grooms in the caravan. In fact, who can control them?

Over time, the Empire also realized that such things were impossible to prohibit, so it turned a blind eye to the other.

Speaking of the elite level of personnel, some caravans traveled around the world, and those guards and armed forces had seen the world, even blood, and had experienced some formations. Although they were not as good as the Thunder Whip, they were more sophisticated than the imperial local garrison troops in some places.

The thirty-two fortresses thrown out by Chen Daolin are nominally thrown out for everyone to enter the game. These thirty-two fortresses are regarded as some hoarding points, supply points, and even cargo transit stations on the trade route to the North Orc Kingdom, which is indeed of considerable value.

Thirty-two fortresses have been auctioned in a series of auctions - to be precise, they are actually called subscriptions.

It was divided up in less than an hour - even inadequate.

Chen Daolin did not treat his own people badly.

Although he refused Miss Fiona's request for part of the Tulips family, he allowed the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce and the Lister family to take advantage of it.

The Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, the family subscribed to five fortresses. If it weren't for Chen Daolin's restrictions, I'm afraid that Pompeii would want to win ten fortresses.

The Lister family was even more imposing. They occupied three of the largest red fortresses in one breath. As for the second-class blue fortresses, they even grabbed five at once.

Although other chambers of commerce have some complaints, they are hard to say anything.

The Pompeii Chamber of Commerce clearly stated its identity and the sign that came to subscribe and auction was Wushuangfang.

What? Don’t you know what Wushuangfang is? Go and go to the imperial capital to inquire! This is an industry established by Master Darling and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce! In other words, one of the original owners of this Wushuangfang was Master Darling himself.

The Northwest Fortress is their own. Now its own industry accounts for a large proportion. Who can say that it is not a word?

As for why the Liszt family occupies more than other families?

Nonsense. Do you see that Miss Lodell, the eldest of the Liszt family, lives in Master Darling's mansion?

Have you never heard of the relationship between Miss Lodell and Darling in the Imperial World?

Maybe in another year or two, even the little mage was born! This is even more family. Since it is a family, Master Darling wants to get some benefits for his wife, who can say no?

...

Apart from the two behemoths of the Lister family and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, no other chamber of commerce has ever occupied several fortresses.

After some competition, the nineteen chambers of commerce, which had the highest bid, divided the remaining nineteen fortresses.

And Chen Daolin wouldn't really let them return empty-handed.

He also put out some business and said that he could outsource it for everyone to do it.

Since it is foreign trade, it is obvious that this northwest fortress group will soon become the largest trading distribution center for the northwest of the empire facing the orc kingdom.

It is almost equivalent to a port city. Then the goods and wealth distributed here must be huge.

Therefore, there are naturally many ways to make money here. In addition to directly sending caravans to trade with orcs, there are naturally some ways to make money.

For example... doing logistics? driving a car? opening a car station, etc. Even if you don't do these things, how many people are required to come in and out every day in such a large port city, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all business. Even if you open an inn or a restaurant, you can make a lot of money.

Chen Daolin decided to establish an interest group. He enclosed all the chambers of commerce that came this time into his interest alliance, and those who had not photographed the fortress also outsourced these surrounding business to everyone.

The final result was more than 30 large and small chambers of commerce groups, almost all the Northwest Fortress Group, the future foreign trade, from top to bottom, from inside to outside!

Finally, according to more than 30 chambers of commerce groups, they contributed money and invested, and according to the proportion, each company occupied a part of the stocks and distributed profits.

After one night, everyone was having a lot of talks. The leaders or representatives of the chamber of commerce who came here were all blushed. When they thought of the upcoming road to wealth, everyone felt as if there was a fire burning in their hearts.

And the only one who returns empty-handed is... Tulips' house!

...

…………

"You... didn't take action?"

Sitting in his yard, Fiona pinched the corner of her clothes and gritted her teeth at Lovie: "You just watched those people divide such a business? You didn't say anything from beginning to end?"

"No." Love shook his head.

"...Why!" Fiona said angrily: "I dared to leave at that time because you were there. You... As a family member, you should always fight for some benefits for the family!"

"Miss Fiona." Lovey frowned, then sighed, and said slowly: "Have you overlooked a problem?"

“…what, what’s the problem.”

Luo Wei said coldly: "If the family wants to gain profit from such a thing, why should we give this Northwest Fortress to Darling Chen? We can directly transfer 20,000 to 30,000 troops from the family. Instead of the Northwest** Division, we can still sit and collect money."

“…”

Fiona was suddenly stunned. She was filled with anger before, and now she calmed down and was shocked by Lovie, and suddenly realized!

Yes! Why do we tulip family share such great benefits with others? If you want to take it alone, just take the Northwest Fortress in your hands early...

"I've thought about it." Love said lightly: "Since the Duke threw all the Northwest Fortress to this Darling mage, I think that the Duke should have never taken this trade interest in his mind for a long time, even from beginning to end. He never wanted such interest. So..."

Speaking of this, Lovey raised his eyelids and glanced at Fiona deeply.

Fiona calmed down immediately.

The woman's eyes flashed, she immediately stood up, bent down to salute at Lovey, and said solemnly: "It was my obsession with interests and I lost my limits! Lord Lovey, I thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have made a big mistake!"

...

…………

Du Weiwei stood in front of the mirror, looking around, wearing a luxurious duke's dress.

And right in front of him, a painter was standing in front of the drawing board, and he used his pen to fly, and he brought a lifelike beautiful duke on the paper. He looked at him with a faint sense of majesty. He was extremely extraordinary.

Du Weiwei maintained a posture, but there was no sign of impatient appearance on her face, and she smiled casually. She said slowly: "So, that guy has solved the problem of military strength?"

The answer to Du Weiwei was a middle-aged man standing a few steps behind the painter.

This man was wearing a snow-white robe with a luxurious texture, but he looked a bit elegant. Although his appearance was ordinary, his eyes were shining and had a bit of wisdom.

This man was the noble man who went to the imperial capital and planned to attack the palace to save people. He was the manager of the former Tulip family who brought Fiona back to the northwest to replace him.

Hearing Du Weiwei's question, the nobleman smiled and said, "His plan is very good. After I received the news, I was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, he did this skill of "making something out of nothing" so well. An empty Northwest Fortress Group brought dozens of chambers of commerce into the bureau. The more than thirty chambers of commerce were created, each household, each of which had a large number of 300 troops, and a minimum of 180 troops. The Liszt family and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce issued more, and the family directly produced two thousand soldiers.

In this way, Darling Chen immediately had no less than eight thousand troops.

With his original manpower, it would be not difficult to gather ten thousand people.

With ten thousand armors, he barely defended the important area of ​​the Northwest Fortress Group, and the defensive fence wall was also erected."

Du Weiwei sighed softly: "I underestimated him. Humph, have those chambers of commerce not seen his purpose?"

"Of course I can see it." The middle-aged nobleman smiled and said lightly: "Those businessmen are not fools, so they naturally see the key. Chen Daolin wants people and they want money. Both sides hit it off. They just took their needs. Chen Daolin did not hide his purpose at the beginning, but put it directly on the table. Just this point is very bold. He exposes his shortcomings and directly puts the exchange of interests on the table. He does not deceive, or cheat or steal. This is a conspiracy."

Du Wei nodded slightly and suddenly smiled: "The idea is good, but these seven or eight thousand mobs really want to fight..."

"With a heroic city in hand, defense is enough. Moreover, the orcs will not really attack the whole country. To deal with ordinary harassing invasions, there are tens of thousands of people. Besides, the bustling is all for fame and fortune. This Daling Chen Yili used as bait and caught more than 30 chambers of commerce in the northwest. For the sake of interests, these people will be grouped together for at least a period of time. If someone wants to ruin their financial path, these more than 30 chambers of commerce will be insulted by the power that bursts into groups, don't insult them!"

Du Weiwei thought for a while, and then changed his position at the instructions of the artist. The servant next to him brought a long sword. She stood up with her hands and then continued: "What a pity, sir, the person you recommended to me to take your position is a bit worse than you. She was almost fooled by Darlingchen. I believe you have read the letter from Lovie, too."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "It's not surprising that young people are a little anxious and have a little troubles with meritorious dedication. She is also for the sake of the family. After all, Miss Fiona has had a little smoother time in the years in the imperial capital. She didn't experience too much in this battle, so she lacked some mental exercise. I think..."

Du Wei smiled and said, "I think she will suffer a few more losses in Darling Chen, and she will be trained. What do you mean?"

"Fiona has motivation and enthusiasm. This is all good, and it doesn't matter if you lack a little precipitation. There is Lovi around her, so you can always mention her. I am optimistic about Miss Fiona's. Is patience and stability? I have experienced it slowly, but that kind of motivation and enthusiasm is really rare. For example, I feel that I am old. Now when doing things, I gradually think that I only want to be successful but not seek to achieve success. It is no longer suitable for a young hero like you."

When Du Weiwei heard this, she looked solemn, her eyes turned, and she looked at the middle-aged man and said seriously: "Your words are really ashamed. How can I lack a wise man like you in the family? If there were no wise man like you, I would be afraid that I would cause many troubles. If you do this, don't mention it again in the future."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "I will die for my family and I will never dare to cherish my life. But the girl Fiona can still be used. I think she looks very much like a person."

"Who do you look like?" Du Weiwei's eyes moved.

The middle-aged man smiled gently: "When you just succeeded to the throne, you did a lot of mistakes. At that time, I had a headache all day long to clear those first-ranked leaders for you."

Du Weiwei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said, "You mean, Fiona looks like me?"

"That motivation and enthusiasm, and the eagerness to do things are somewhat similar." The middle-aged man smiled.

Du Weiwei seemed to think for a moment, and suddenly Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Okay, you write a letter to Lovie, so let him and Fiona stay with Darlingchen for a few more days. Darlingchen is just a whetstone, and I really want to see what he can sharpen Fiona's knife. Even if Fiona suffers some losses from Darlingchen, it doesn't matter. Anyway, my family has a great career and can afford to lose. If you can polish a talent that can stand on your own, it will be profitable."

The middle-aged man bowed slightly: "It is really a blessing for the family if you have such a mind."

After a pause, he slowly said, "That Northwest Fortress..."

"Let him do it." Du Weiwei said lightly: "It was originally a leisure move. It was good to have some effect, but it was useless for the time being, so just throw it there and go there. The top priority we are now, are those guys on the grassland in the west..."

"They have a big appetite." The middle-aged man smiled, but his smile was a little faintly mocked: "But these guys never understand how big the bowls they have to eat. Now the Grassland King wishes to put all men over fifteen years old into his iron cavalry army, and his momentum is already extremely loud. I heard that someone had already shouted in the royal court's golden tent to destroy the Roland Empire and let the Grassland King become the emperor. "

"Oh?" Du Weiwei was stunned: "I heard that their slogan was still called to Lengquan Pass three days ago?"

"Yes, now their slogan has become a battle to the imperial capital and drink from the Malancang River." The middle-aged man said seriously: "No matter who has hundreds of thousands of cavalry in his hands, his tone will become bigger."

"Okay, okay." Du Weiwei laughed and said with a touch of her hands: "I'm not afraid that they have a big appetite, the bigger the appetite, the better. I've already set up this big meal, but I just don't know, this time, how many people will be in the seat!"

Speaking of this, a fierce murderous aura flashed through those wonderful eyes!
