Chapter 197 Weapon Business (Sixth Update)

The significance of building an industrial zone is self-evident.

A strong manufacturing industry will be the heart of a metropolis, providing a steady stream of blood for the metropolis.

The Habsburg family has many industries, mainly three, namely the manufacture of exquisite carriages, exquisite saddles, and exquisite furniture, with hundreds of employees.

These employees will use their wages to drive the prosperity of Pompeii.

The tax revenue generated by the Habsburg family factory will bring tax revenue to the Pompeii City Hall.

Of course, compared with a city with a population of more than 50,000, the energy brought by the Habsburg family is still too small. The time when Pompeii really takes off will be when the hot spring resort opens.

Not only will the resort generate profits, but the profits will be invested in the development of Pompeii. The more critical thing is how many top rich people can come to the hot spring resort, Luther, Pompeii, and Lelouch, and how much money Bonaparte can attract from these top rich people and invest in the development of Pompeii.

As long as there is money, Pompeii will soar.

Now Luther has won over the Habsburg family, six families, and Alice. Miss Amanda is just maintaining the current situation in Pompeii.

It is not a big development.

Good news keeps coming. After Luther sent Mrs. Smith away, he soon met his uncle, the contemporary Thorn Knight, Mr. Lipton Thorn.

"Luther, you have caused us a big trouble again." The knight came in a hurry and seemed to be in a bad mood. After being welcomed by Luther into the living room on the second floor of the castle, he sat down, picked up the drink on the coffee table next to him, drank it, and then glared at Luther.

Luther certainly didn't think that his uncle was angry, you know, this gentleman is a good man.

But Luther also knew that this matter was a bit too much for the six major families. If you use words, it should be described as bloodsucking.

"My dear uncle, how did I cause you trouble? Isn't this creating an opportunity for you to make money? As long as you can start the industry, Pompeii will not only provide you with cheap industrial land, but also give you a piece of land to develop real estate at a low price."

Luther pretended to be innocent.

The good-tempered Mr. Lipton couldn't help rolling his eyes.

You know, the six major families are living a miserable life now. In order to get 200,000 gold coins, Lipton sold several of his wife's jewelry.

Not to mention the antiques, artworks, etc. he collected before.

The Soran family is so poor now that they can be described as eating vegetables and tofu every day.

Now, in order to keep Pompeii alive, Luther used cheap land as a temptation to let them pay to start an industry.

Isn't this obviously to squeeze them dry?

They still came up eagerly. When Mr. Lipton thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his teeth.

That's right, they couldn't stand the temptation and decided to do it.

The Pompeii family is a precedent. They borrowed 100,000 gold coins from Baron Barton. After playing a big game, Pompeii is now soaring.

If the six families want to keep up with the pace of the Pompeii family, they must be bolder.

"We have decided to do it and found a good project. The only question now is whether Amanda's father, Mr. Morgan, can provide us with a private loan?"

Mr. Lipton asked unhappily.

This is the most critical issue. If there is no money, everything will be fine. Anyway, even if Lipton is killed and the Soran family is hollowed out, no more money can be taken out.

Unless the castle is sold, but that is impossible.

"I have confirmed that Mr. Morgan, who is far away in the Golden City, will provide a loan of 50,000 gold coins to the six families."

Luther answered very seriously, and then couldn't help but ask curiously: "Uncle, what business are you going to do?"

"Weapons production." Mr. Lipton said.

"Weapons production." Luther narrowed his eyes slightly. The people of the six families were obviously not stupid, and they were all from the noble family of knight lords, so they knew more about weapons.

There are corresponding blacksmiths in each territory.

And weapon production is a very profitable industry.

"We did a lot of analysis, but we finally found that we know nothing about doing anything else. We only have some experience with weapons, so let's just make weapons. And we have analyzed that if your Pompeii City is to expand, the guards will inevitably expand, and the expansion of the number of people will buy weapons from outside. We also know that the Pompeii family has liberated many serfs before, and some serfs' children have been blacksmith apprentices for a long time. In this way, after the funds are in place and the factory is built, they can be recruited as workers."

Mr. Lipton put forward their considerations. In short, they can't do anything except weapons.

And Luther certainly knows about these, because weapon production was originally in his backup plan. Because the future of Pompeii City's weapons business will be very large.

In addition to recruiting more guards, after the Sabertooth Tiger Mercenary Group established an outpost in Pompeii, I believe that more adventurers and mercenary groups will flock to Pompeii.

They need weapons to be repaired and purchased.

Since it is a backup plan, it doesn't matter if it is used by the six families now. After all, what he runs is not a business, but a territory and a metropolis.

Luther has a lot of backup plans, and the current energy of the Pompeii family is not suitable for developing more businesses. It is not bad to be greedy for more titles.

Now the six families can get a loan to open up the weapons business and bring a steady stream of tax revenue to Pompeii.

The important thing is that the six families can provide Pompeii's guards with sophisticated weapons.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Don't worry, if I have plans to expand the guards in the future, I will definitely buy weapons from you. But there is one thing I want to say in advance, the quality must be guaranteed, otherwise the transaction will not be established."

Luther nodded seriously and said a word of villain first and gentleman later.

"Luther, don't worry about this. Although we are close partners and allies, business is business, and we will divide it very clearly."

Mr. Lipton also expressed his meaning on this.

Anyway, everyone is an ally sitting on the same boat, and they will not hurt each other.

As the conversation came to an end, this step of the expansion plan of Pompeii was officially launched.

A mulberry forest farm, a future silk production base.

A ranch, a breeding base mainly selling purebred horses, pets, and hounds.

The carriage, saddle, and furniture business of the Habsburg family.

Weapons factories of six families.

If you count the Pompeii wine estate, wheat flour production workshop, rapeseed oil production workshop, a ranch that provides practical meat, etc. of the Pompeii family.

Pompeii currently has many industries.

Although it is not enough to support a metropolis, it can at least support it until the hot spring resort opens in a dozen months.

Although I try my best to update, the data is still ugly.

I hope that the heroes who have the conditions can support the subscription.

Thank you.
