Chapter 349 Prospects of Bangcheng, Air Commercial Road Plan 【Subscription】

Zong Shen's eyes were deep, and he looked at the sand table of the territory and pondered for a while.

Then he looked up at Howie.

"Howie, you're right."

"But now I have a question."

"If the size of our territory develops to the state level in the future."

"Will the kingdom interfere with us?"

Zong Shen asked a piercing question. Now the state cities in the kingdom are basically controlled by the noble class.

For example, the ruler of Gotti Castle is Viscount Hector, and the ruler of Bosbon is Baron Bezos.

Behind this, there are the figures of major kingdom families, which is a very solid chain of class interests.

Bangcheng exists more as an inherited fiefdom of the heirs of big families. Although there is no fixed concept of fiefdom in this world, it is not important whether some things have this concept or not. It is the most important thing.

And his current identity in the kingdom can only be regarded as an amateur without any background or influence.

It would be a little disgusting if those kingdom nobles wanted to pick peaches after their own territory developed all the way and quickly entered the city level.

Hearing Zong Shen's question, Howie hesitated for a moment.

There are many precedents for this kind of thing in the mainland, but the ending is not very happy.

If the territory develops to the state city level, the kingdom forces will soon intervene, and they will use various means to seize control of the state city.

Most of them are dominated by the kingdom families who are active in the local area.

For the founders or actual controllers who developed the first hand, if they know the appearance, they can still get a compensation. If they do not know the appearance, the end will be very bleak.

This is the stark reality, but it is by no means easy for the aborigines to develop a state-level territory, and it takes decades of painstaking management and development.

The world is very vast, and there is no shortage of cultivated land, so the population multiplying speed is also very fast.

But there are not only humans in this world, there are also many aliens and various monsters.

The seemingly vast land is actually not safe. In addition, most of the wealth of the entire kingdom is controlled by the various nobles of the kingdom family. In the entire kingdom, rogue bandits are flooding in, and they are all kinds of bandits in areas with denser villages and towns. the more.

And a state city is equivalent to a treasure trove for those nobles.

State cities with smaller populations also have more than 100,000 populations, and state cities with large populations can even reach the scale of one million or even millions.

This standard interval is relatively large, because the regional differences across the continent are also very large, thus creating a variety of situations.

As for the population of the giant city, it starts at the tens of millions. Some huge giant cities often have tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people.

Seeing Howie hesitated, Zong Shen probably understood.

The lords regard the aborigines as a granary and a stepping stone for development, and when the lords develop to a certain extent, there is also the possibility of being picked peaches by the aborigines.

"If you don't have a background and a title, then our territory will encounter some troubles in the future."

"However, my lord, as long as you have a good relationship with the local kingdom family, you can obtain certain privileges."

"Or find a way to obtain merits in the kingdom and become a meritorious nobleman conferred by the kingdom, and then you will be able to control the city-level territory logically."

Howie pondered for a moment, but told him truthfully.

Zong Shen nodded and remained silent. This is an inescapable hurdle in the future development of the territory.

However, as a third-party force without a faction, the lords do not necessarily have to rely on the aboriginal force to develop. They can obtain the recruitment volume and development through many channels such as challenge points exchange, treasure chest opening, relic exploration, [market] trading, etc. Resources.

It can only be said that by borrowing strength from the aborigines, more resources and faster development can be obtained.

The relationship between the pros and cons and the choice of the future development path depends on each lord himself.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen couldn't help but start thinking about the situation in his area.

At present, the area where Zong Shen is located is relatively sparsely populated by aborigines.

There are only three aboriginal villages within the proven range, and only two remain after Odo Village was delisted.

Of course, there must be more than just these two or three aboriginal villages in the entire region.

After all, the area where they descended was a square area of ​​200 kilometers by 200 kilometers.

The location of Zongshen's territory should be in the northeastern part of the area.

Continuing east is the village of Sitano, which is also the direction to Bosang.

In the opposite direction, that is, the direction to Odo Village from the west, that is the direction to the center of the area, and also the direction of the giant city of Rentax.

The northern part of the territory can enter the northern mountain forest more than ten kilometers after passing through the Bone Burial Ground, where the mountains are continuous and occupy a large area.

As for the south, it was also the least explored direction by Zong Shen. He only fought some rogues and went to Huxin Island. In addition, Jiang Yi's territory was located in the southeast.

And there is a village called Dinan in the south, but Zong Shen has never been there.

According to Tie Zhu's previous investigation, if Dinan Village continues to move south for more than ten kilometers, you will see a swamp shrouded in poisonous fog.

The extent of the swamp is not yet clear. According to Tie Zhu's report at the time, it extended at least ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers.

There are still many places worth exploring in the entire region, and with the development of Zongshen's territory, the scope of the trip will become larger and larger.

Of course, this is also the case with other lords in the region. The top priority is to develop the territory as soon as possible, and Bospon must also go.

He still has many items related to Baron Bezos in his hand. First, try to get in touch with Baron Bezos, and use him as a breakthrough to further understand the situation of the noble group.

Bezos is just a baron and belongs to the bottom line of the title, which is actually an important piece of information.

Zong Shen can already guess the size of Bosbon through Bezos' title.

Howey stood quietly on the side, watching Zong Shen's expression change silently, and sighing slightly in his heart, he once had lofty ideals and wanted to give full play to his talents and ambitions.

But after more than ten years of struggle, he was completely disappointed.

In this world, it is almost impossible for ordinary people without background and status to break the shackles of class.

However, he still believed that Zong Shen could do it, because when he officially joined Zong Shen's command, he knew a lot of information, Lord Lord is the chosen one!

Being able to not be shackled by any rules, this has infinite possibilities!

Zong Shen lowered his head to sort out his thoughts, and had a plan in his mind.

"This matter is not a big problem. First of all, we must have a good relationship with Baron Bezos."

"The second is the rapid development of the territory that goes all out to get on the right track as soon as possible."

"Those regional families can't get around Bosbang if they want to get their hands on this place."

"As long as Bezos deliberately covers up for us, we can win the most critical period of development."

"As for the rest, I'll think of a way slowly."

Zong Shen supported his head and said slowly.

"By the way, in addition to obtaining the permission of the state to go to Bosbang, there is one more important thing."

"That is to form a caravan in our territory for trade circulation."

"However, the development progress of animal husbandry and agriculture in the territory is not high."

"Especially for the one-third of our current acre, we haven't even eaten a bite of food, let alone sold it."

"The number of cattle and sheep is not too large, and it cannot be regarded as the main foreign trade commodity."

Zong Shen added, and then a new question was thrown.

Regarding commercial trade, Howie has his own opinions. His talent is indeed biased towards material management and commercial trade. He is extremely sensitive to numbers, so he can manage the income of the tenant tax at Gotti Castle for more than ten years.

Howie actually had an idea about the future commercial development of the territory. After hearing this question, he couldn't help but take two steps forward and bowed in front of Zong Shen.

"My lord, in fact, caravan trade is not limited to agricultural and animal husbandry products."

"These are primary commodities, and the value of the sale is not very large."

"In trade, the most important thing is to take advantage of information gaps."

"Acquire specialties from different regions and bring them to other regions for sale."

"Our territory has goblin airships capable of continuous long-distance air travel."

"It is entirely possible to establish a primary air trade route and purchase materials from other regions for sale in Bosbon to make high profits."

"In fact, most travel merchants do this."

"It's just that they opt for land transport, which takes longer and is more risky."

"We take the air transport route, which is less time-consuming and safer, but because the goblin airship needs to consume magical energy, it takes some effort to select the goods."

"Confirm an optimal route, select some optimal commodities, and sell along the way to ensure that there is enough profit to meet the consumption of magic energy and revenue expectations."

"On the outgoing journey, we can purchase some of Bosbon's more distinctive and price-advantaged commodities, and sell them along the way. The same is true for the return journey, and we can purchase special commodities along the way and the local area."

Howie said a little excitedly. What he said about establishing a trade route is actually similar to the trade rules of those goblin travellers. All the way to sell and buy all the way, to realize a complete trade route through the flow of caravans.

As long as you go through the trade route once, every link and every area is in the process of trading and purchasing, not only can you get a lot of dinars, but you can also get a lot of materials.

This scheme is indeed good, but it is still difficult to achieve.

Constructing an optimal trade route of mutual demand requires a lot of preparatory work.

Especially in regional intelligence, a lot of homework needs to be done.

Which Bangcheng has what specialties, what is the demand, how far is it from the headquarters, and how many specialties or demand points are there along the way, all need to be understood.

"You're right, the air trade route does work."

"However, to achieve this goal, a lot of preparatory work is required."

"Anyway, it's better to go to Bosbon first and then decide."

"I will be able to provide you with some informational support at that time."

"You will be in charge of the caravan of the territory in the future. Right now, there are not many talents in our territory. You have to take care of the in and out of the territory."

Zong Shen immediately made a decision, and all the remaining arrangements will be considered after the trip to Bosbon is over.

Howie was a little excited and saluted again, Zong Shen's words basically determined his future position.

That is to develop business for the territory and build his own caravan, which was one of his ideals.

The two chatted briefly for a while, and Zong Shen waved his hand to let Howie rest.

There is still one and a half days until the announcement of the new challenge rules, and two and a half days until the new challenge begins.

He had inquired about the location of Bosbang before, which was seven or eight hundred kilometers east of Sitano Village.

It takes at least two days for those traveling merchants' carriages to travel from Bosang to Sitano village.

If you ride the Andalusian warhorse of Bajie or the Immortal Lancers, it will only take 6 to 8 hours to arrive.

It takes 12 to 14 hours to ride a prairie horse.

The war horses in this world are still very different from the original world.

Powerful warhorses have excellent attributes and abilities, and are really good to feed.

This is probably the difference in the breed or the so-called bloodline.

Some good warhorses are like monsters.

Very well fed, with excellent physical fitness, and not squeamish.

Just like the black panther of the huntress and the giant wolf of the wolf cavalry, they are actually stronger than ordinary horses.

The speed, endurance, and other aspects of grassland horses are very ordinary, and they are standard ordinary horses. The difference between the two is still very large.

In addition to mounts, if you take a weight-bearer mech, you need to travel continuously for at least twenty hours.

There is also a plan to take a goblin airship, but it also takes ten hours, and the consumption of magic energy is not a small amount.

Zong Shen thought about it, but it was the most reliable way to go directly on a mount.

As for the departure time, Zong Shen plans to wait until after Sapphire is gone.

Sapphire's heart is like an arrow, and it is estimated that she will leave in a hurry tomorrow as soon as her body recovers.

Zong Shen sat at the long table, rarely able to think quietly about some issues.

At this time, Vereesa and Mariel accompanied Sapphire into the lord's small building.

After soaking in the hot spring and eating and drinking to replenish her stamina, Sapphire's condition is much better.

Now he can walk independently without the support of others.

According to this recovery speed, it will be almost the same tomorrow morning.

Zong Shen's purpose has actually been achieved.

His expectation for Sapphire is not now, but in the near future!
