1370 Chapter 1371: Toll Booth

"To get rich, build roads first. Only when the roads of the empire are well-connected can the company's business be spread throughout the entire empire, or even the entire central plain. That is the real way to get rich, instead of just focusing on one or two provinces. "

Linda's speech made the entire meeting room silent.

Many nobles were shocked by Linda's huge business network.

The great nobles like the Grand Duke of Titans were shocked by Linda's ambition.

From this incident, they can tell that Linda will definitely invest a lot in future roads, and the Longke Highway should only be her pilot project.

But the Grand Duke of Titans and the Marquis of Xiao Jie, the great nobles who are dedicated to the country, can't find any reason to refuse.

They knew very well that if the highways of the empire extended in all directions as Linda said, it would have a huge impact on the economic development of the empire.

"It's a good sentence, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads."

The Grand Duke of Titans affirmed it, and had decided in his heart that he would personally report this matter to His Majesty, and then mobilize the entire empire think tank to study what conspiracy Linda had.

What benefits could it bring her.

He doesn't simply think that he can get back his money with that little toll.

Linda didn't care about what the Grand Duke of Titans was thinking. What she did was to speed up the conflicts between nobles and nobles. As long as the transportation in various places is convenient, it is possible to maximize the benefits of the empire's raw materials, not for the convenience of production. Set up a factory, in that case, it will not cause the division of nobles and nobles.

Factories are all concentrated in big cities. As time goes by, nobles who own factories will start to form groups, and work together to lower the prices of raw materials for the sake of profit. The raw material suppliers are all far away from the metropolitan area, which will make it easier for the nobles of the raw material suppliers to form a group to seek resistance to the nobles of the manufacturers.

This requires space to form a division, so that these nobles can learn from each other's strengths and marry each other, and this space division becomes irreversible as the contradictions increase, and eventually forms a dispute between two interest groups.

If you want to avoid too much contact between the two groups, you must have a complete transportation system to facilitate the trade of goods around the world, and avoid a large number of new factories on raw material sites for the convenience of raw material transportation.

………………

The last ray of sunset was falling in the sky, and under the gradually dimming sky, the magic street lamps were lit up one by one. In the bright lights, the nightlife of the people of Merlot City had just begun.

Night is not the end of the day, but the beginning of another period of activity.

Street taverns are brightly lit. The workers who have just got off work are resting and relaxing in the tavern to fill their stomachs. The huge magic shadow instrument on the square is playing the evening news program, which makes the nearby people stop and stay, full of interest. Some restaurants that are open until late Restaurants and shops have lit up the light signs at the entrances, and enthusiastic shopkeepers and shop assistants are attracting customers at the entrances.

Standing on the street, Kira looked at the bustling city in surprise. He looked at the lights all over the street, and couldn't help but said, "Here... is far more lively than Moxico."

After the fall of Emperor Fuer, the Maxim Empire was renamed the Maxim Republic, Kira Yamato served as the supreme leader, and the original main city of Maxim was also changed to its original name - Moxico!

This was once named by Her Royal Highness the Queen, but it was later tampered with by Foer.

"Melo is the most prosperous city in the empire, and probably the most prosperous city in the northern continent."

Alfonso said next to him, with pride in his tone. He was temporarily assigned as a guide to lead foreign visitors to visit the city. After all, no one in this city knows the city better than him.

He witnessed this city grow from nothing to become the largest city in the empire. In the following years, he served as the police chief of the imperial capital Merlot. He had already traveled all over the streets of the imperial capital Merlot. He said second, no one dared to say first.

"It may not have the historic buildings in Cleveland, but everyone here is happy."

"I can tell!"

Kira nodded slightly.

"This place reminds me of the main city of Maxim back then. At that time, it was the largest commercial city in the western continent. It was equally brightly lit, advanced and prosperous, but they were fundamentally different. The people at that time were not like the people here. It’s such a vibrant place, it’s a really good place.”

"The development here is very fast, and it will develop even faster in the future. Even in other parts of the Melox Empire, those relatively closed and backward cities are constantly developing, while the Republic has not changed much since it became an empire. It can even be described as degeneration."

Xia who was next to him said: "The empire at that time was a very depressing place for me."

Old Kira blushed, and quickly said: "I'm already promoting the construction of a new city, preparing to reform the original backward system, hoping to change the status quo."

The arrival of Kira as the supreme leader is the first diplomatic visit after the establishment of the Republic of Maxim, which shows the importance he attaches to the Melox Empire. Focus.

There is no way around this. Although the Outer Continent United Council has been formed, it can be seen by the eyes that the council is divided into three factions. The Eastern Emperor and the United Empire of Magic have come together. The Sim Empire occupies one side and is in a three-legged situation.

However, with the fall of Emperor Fur of the Maxim Empire, Yamato and the Aznable family succeeded in a coup, and the Maxim Empire was changed to the Maxim Republic. The original diplomatic attitude changed, and even took the initiative to visit the Merox Empire. , and it was a meeting at the level of the country's top leaders, which made the two countries tense.

There is no other reason. If the two countries unite, there will really be no place for them to play in the future.

"Director Alfonso, I don't know why Emperor Aslan left the customs?"

Kira lowered the curtains of the car window and asked suddenly.

Alfonso's expression didn't change too much, and he said calmly and forcefully: "Your Majesty is still at the most critical time, and Chairman Kira needs to wait for a day or two."

Shaar said playfully, "Why, Emperor Aslan is so embarrassing now."

Alfonso smiled and shook his head.

"Your Majesty has seldom been in charge of affairs in the past two years. Most of the time, he is practicing. Government affairs are completely handed over to the Government Affairs Council. Unless there are particularly urgent matters, His Majesty is rarely alarmed."

The bandit leader, who once didn't know the two characters, now speaks with reason and evidence, and is not out of manners with the old nobles. This is the reason why Wilson appointed Alfonso as his guide.

In addition to knowing the capital of Merlot best, Wilson also planned to promote Alfonso to a more important position.
