Chapter 2054 The Skyrocketing Fame
"As for fame, as time goes by, there shouldn't be any problems."
Qi Le watched Angel's running back, gradually disappearing into the shadow of the building, and his eyes fell on the towering city wall in the distance.
Due to the increasingly abundant gold coin reserves, Belot raised the construction standards of the city wall to a higher level.
In a large trading city-state, security issues cannot be ignored.
The city wall that is tens of meters high and the huge city gate that is more than ten meters high are almost the same as the side wall of Big Rock Pass.
Majestic and oppressive.
The only pity is that now there is only the city wall...
"After the construction of the front city wall is completed, we can just hang up the plaque of Silver Moon City."
Qi Le thought silently in his heart.
Although based on the characters of Belot and Angel, as well as the education they received in aristocratic families, they would definitely not do such a thing.
After all, for an unrecognized city-state to hang up a plaque directly would be shameful and unethical.
But Qi Le can't control so much.
If you want to make Silver Moon City's name known to all major forces as quickly as possible, the best way is to kill first and tell later.
When it's done, it's time to admit it even if you don't want to.
What's more, in the fiefdom of Viscount Bellot, it's not like there are no summoners of outstanding level.
For example, Gu Yuan can work part-time.
As a guest in the Bellot family, with the ancient power level, as long as Angel's merits are sufficient, there is no problem in helping Angel obtain the title of Marquis.
With the title of Marquis, he gained the power to recruit private armies.
Upgrading a fiefdom into a city-state is a matter of course.
This series of developments is all part of Qi Le's plan.
As for sufficient merit...just the summoning scrolls provided to the border guards are worth a lot of merit.
If it's not enough, Qi Le will have to think of another way.
Trade is indeed a science.
If Angel drives out all the merchants from the Blackwater Kingdom because of his emotions, then the idea of developing his fiefdom into a large trading city-state may have to change.
Even if they monopolize the supply of summoning scrolls, it will be of no avail.
Because a large trading city-state cannot sell only one kind of commodity anyway.
This practice is a kind of abnormal trade. It may flourish for a while, but it will definitely not last long.
Fortunately, Angel was smart enough to come over and ask Qi Le for his opinion.
As a store manager, although Qi Le usually does whatever he wants, he still knows more about trade issues than Angel.
After some guidance, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
The merchants who were aware of the grudges between the Black Water Kingdom and the Yanlong Kingdom also spread the news back to their respective factions.
"Viscount Bellot is quite generous and treats all the merchants of the Blackwater Kingdom equally."
"I think that Viscount Bellot has a good daughter. The decision maker in this incident should be Angel."
"Actually, it doesn't matter who makes the decision. They want their fiefdom to become a place of free trade. Isn't it exactly what we want."
"Yeah, who can have trouble with gold coins?"
"Then let the people below go over. There are many people who are greedy for the summoning scroll and will pay a high price for it."
"certainly……"
Conversations like this occur frequently among various forces.
In particular, those large and small forces with a serious business nature valued Viscount Bellot's fiefdom even more.
Free trade is one of the things that these businessmen value most, besides profits.
It is a pity that among the various kingdoms, there are very few large city-states that can truly achieve free trade.
Because the city lords of those city-states, or the nobles who took over the management of the city-state, will consider the thoughts of the king, and will basically not receive people sent by forces with hatred.
What should I do if my shoes are worn?
Therefore, managers of these city-states generally take the initiative to avoid things that should be avoided.
After all, I am under the control of others and cannot do whatever I want.
What's more, as a manager of a city-state, he is not a businessman. Even if he likes gold coins, he will put his status before gold coins.
Based on this, those trading city-states in the past had a clear division of trade objects.
Knowing that the forces behind them have grudges against the forces to which these trading city-states belong, those merchants will choose to take a detour.
Otherwise, if you go and look at your face, you won’t gain anything.
But this time, the merchants of the Blackwater Kingdom will risk their lives to go to the fiefdom of Viscount Bellot.
The main reason is because the temptation of the summoning scroll is too great.
This kind of monopoly product, with such powerful functions, has always been in short supply.
As soon as the supply of goods decreases, prices will rise immediately.
The profits are so huge that it is simply unimaginable.
If those businessmen don't swarm in like sharks smelling the smell of blood, then there's something wrong with their brains.
So no matter how high the risk is, it is worth trying.
The final result also proved that this attempt was completely worth it.
The merchants of the Blackwater Kingdom used their experience to prove that Viscount Bellot's fiefdom was indeed a land of free trade.
If it can develop, it will definitely be a paradise for all businessmen.
No matter how these businessmen thought about it, they could never imagine why Viscount Bellotte could completely ignore the thoughts of the leader of the Flame Dragon Kingdom.
But what does it matter?
Anyway, it was Viscount Bellot who took the risk, and it had nothing to do with businessmen like them.
So as soon as these news spread, in just a few days, Viscount Bellot's fiefdom gained a huge reputation among the major forces.
The land of free trade also began to become well known.
And all of this is something that Belot and Angel did not expect.
"Qi Le, these days, the number of merchants and tourists in the fiefdom has increased several times for some reason, and the number is still increasing. Is there any problem?"
Angel stood on the roof of a tall building, looking at the towering city wall being built and the tall city gate.
The bustling crowd, like crucian carp crossing the river, gathered at the city gate.
The dense crowds were rubbing shoulders with each other. Although it was very crowded, they were very well-behaved and there was a long queue at the city gate.
At a glance, it is difficult to see the end.
