In Sirius City, Lai Xue looked around in surprise. She couldn't believe that this majestic and beautiful city had only taken over a month, and less than two months to build.
Although it is still rough in many places, it is generally perfect.
"It's amazing. When I heard the news of the construction of Sirius City, I thought it was a rumor. You don't know that many people are shocked by the speed of your construction." Prince Lenerson marveled at Alan beside him. said.
"I heard that you borrowed the power of the gods, is this true?" Lai Xue also smelled the boy beside him curiously.
Allen walked on the spacious and tidy road of Sirius City casually, with a smile in his calm expression. "Maybe it's the blessing of the gods, but it's more to catch everyone's strength."
"Ah! I heard that you have some orcs under your command! There are also magical tree people. They're amazing. I've never seen a tree person before." Lei Xue said to Alan as if thinking of something again.
"It's just some trees and orcs that I accidentally conquered. They really did a lot of work."
Allen explained, pointing to some empty commercial streets in front of him: "Although the population of Sirius City is quite large, the business has not yet developed."
"Well, it is true that commerce is an indispensable economic industry in a city, but you don't have to worry, we will help you to promote your Sirius City more after we go back."
"Of course, even if we don't publicize it, at least some chambers of commerce and merchants in the Principality of Ryan will soon come here to do business. After all, your title of Lord of the Silver Wolf is very useful."
Lenerson said with a smile: "This time your speed is too fast, even Father Father did not expect that you can build Sirius City within a month. Originally, the establishment of every main city is a major event in the principality. As a lord, you should have held a grand celebration and invited a large number of nobles to visit here."
"Similarly, the nobles will prepare gifts to congratulate you, and your father will also bless you… but you are too fast…"
Lenerson shrugged: "There is no huge celebration, and many civilians of the Chamber of Commerce in the Principality are skeptical about the completion of Sirius City. That's why it's been a month, and Sirius City's business is still in its initial stage." "That's it, look. It's because I didn't think carefully enough."
As a newcomer, Allen didn't know much about these rules, and it was only when he heard Lenerson's words that it suddenly dawned on him.
"But don't worry, after I go back, I will use the prince's name to inform the whole country, so that everyone can believe it." "Thank you, His Royal Highness." Allen said with a smile.
"Hahaha, Alan, I already treat you as a friend, don't be so polite to me." Lenerson patted Alan on the shoulder with a smile.
Allen wasn't disgusted by it either, and in fact being friends with Lenerson was good for him.
They entertained the prince and princess brothers and sisters who came to congratulate on behalf of the Grand Duke, and the two did not stop there, and set off back to the capital early the next morning.
After all, this is Lenerson as a prince, and the heavy responsibility he bears is still huge, and there is not much leisure time.
Allen returned all the magic books he had borrowed before to Lai Xue, and he had almost finished reading it during this time.
After sending the two away, Allen returned to the castle.
"Sir, with the recent increase in the population, large-scale reclamation of farmland has begun outside the city. Among them, farm tools, crop seeds, and cattle for cultivating the fields are all materials that are urgently needed by Sirius City recently."
Alan sat in the office hall specially set up by the castle.
This is a specially set up hall in the earl's castle, which is used for the officials in the city to come to the castle to report to the earl every day, or to discuss things.
The decoration of the hall is extremely luxurious. In the center is a long table. Allen is sitting in the first seat. Next to him are Marco and Sparrow. Below Marco are several knights of the fifth and sixth levels. These are some of the knights that Allen recruited. Knight, after all, with such a large territory, it is impossible for Marko to be the only one to assist Alan.
There are also some civilian officials under Sparrow, who are responsible for all aspects of population, agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery and so on.
The one who is talking is a middle-aged man who is in charge of agriculture and is reporting the current situation to Allen at the moment.
"Sparrow has already communicated with the Roland Chamber of Commerce about this issue, to buy the best things at the lowest price. By the way, Sparrow, how is our factory?"
Allen said casually.
"Returning to the lord, the factory has been moved from the thorns flower collar to the Sirius collar. Three huge industrial areas have been designed in the south, not far from Sirius City. So far, we have enough to supply the demand of the entire country of the Principality of Lane. The next step is to prepare continue to expand."
"Also, my lord, it seems that His Royal Highness the Second Prince has paid attention to our factory recently. He has sent people here to check it out several times. It seems that he wants to intervene in our factory."
When Sparrow said this, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.
Allen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words: "Don't worry about him, move on to the next item."
"My lord, in addition to Sirius City, we also have Nikya Seaport in the south, which is an excellent place, allowing us to do a lot of export trade with Earl Honeysuckle and the others. We provide them with a lot of land products, and they provide us with Provide marine products."
The person in charge of the fishery is a competent female official. I heard that she used to be an official in the marquis and has good ability.
"Well…Ms. Jennifer, your proposal is good, allowing this plan, but we don't have many ships, Sparrow, for this matter, I need some ships, damn, I need a shipyard!"
Alan held his forehead and said.
The Earl of Honeysuckle is the earl that was previously entrusted by the Duke of Lane to the land of the Blue Moon Principality.
Although their fiefs are not as fertile as the land on the mainland, the advantage is that they don't need to expand the hard development territory like Ellen, because the Blue Moon Principality has already developed well, and now it just has a new owner.
It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages.
In the same way, as aristocrats who are used to living on land, they need a lot of products on land to live at sea for a long time.
This was the business opportunity, and Allen decided to take advantage of it. "…〃Sir, our gold coins are running out…" Sparrow showed a helpless look. Allen's eyes widened: "Not much?"
"Yes, although most of the wood and stone used to build the main city were self-sufficient, there are still some expensive materials that need to be purchased. At the same time, we also bought slaves in large quantities, and the adults also built ten towns at the same time. In addition to reclaiming farmland, paving roads, etc., millions of gold coins have been spent… At present, the gold coins in our hands are only about 1.5 million, but considering the large quantities of farm tools, and our labor ( Zhao Liao's) factory's raw material imports, and recently, my lord, the expenses you need to train warriors… Of course, there are also equipment for your tauren army and centaur army…"
Sparrow didn't say a word, and the corner of Alan's mouth twitched once. In the end, the shrewd financial officer even turned his finger to calculate, and then shrugged at Alan: "Sir, we need at least three gold coins in the next month. A million!" Allen sighed when he heard the words, although his territory was developing rapidly, but his gold coins were not enough.
Without money, the speed of development can only be slowed down, which is why some territories take decades to develop.
Because they have no money, not everyone is as rich as Allen and has three hugely profitable industrial chains that bring a steady stream of financial support.
Even after Allen made a drastic meal, he still encountered financial difficulties. "It seems that I have to find a way to make money…" Allen rubbed his eyebrows and said.
