Bright Era

Lake St. Luen, a large lake on the border between the northeast of the Gaul Empire and the northwest of the Caesar Empire, the two countries just across the lake.

This large lake with a radius of hundreds of miles connected the two major water systems of the Gaul Empire, the Seine River and the Caesar Empire, the Lessing River. After the Lessing River flows through the entire Caesar Empire, it pours into Lake Saint Luen. On the other hand, Lake St. Luen has a wide channel leading to the Seine River, which is also the main water vein that flows through the entire Gaul Empire.

Therefore, Lake Saint Luen is extremely important to both empires.

From a commercial point of view, this is the natural transportation route between the two countries, and the goods in the north of the two countries are basically used for the turnover of Lake Saint Luen.

From a military standpoint, as long as any empire controls Lake Saint Luen, its naval ships can follow the two water systems directly into the heart of the other empire. Therefore, the two empires have stationed heavy troops on the lake, and also set up a royal dock respectively, stationed a heavy fleet to prepare for battle.

Along the east bank of Lake St. Luen, the Caesar Empire has more than a dozen large and small towns along the lake. The town of Mullen is the most inconspicuous town in the south. With a resident population of more than 10,000 people, Malun Town, which relies on fishing and logging as its main source of income, is really poor. The Caesar Empire didn’t even bother to set up a serious administrative agency in this remote place. The mayor and the village elder group elected by the village elders manage this place by themselves.

Official officials of the Caesar Empire only come to Marron Town when taxes are collected in the spring and autumn of each year. At other times, Marron Town follows the usual way of life for countless years, rigid but regular lives. .

Lin Qi marched into Malun Town with a mighty brigade, which immediately disturbed the peace of Malun Town.

The entire town has only a population of more than 10,000, but Lin Qi brought a thousand guards. This is a powerful force capable of destroying the entire Malun Town. The mayor and village elders of Malun Town have put down their work. , Greeted it cautiously.

Hansen, the elder of Malun Town, who was over seventy years old, walked to Lin Qi’s carriage shiveringly, and bowed deeply to Lin Qi in awe: "My honorable lord, dare to ask you from afar to come to Malun. What does the town do?"

Lin Qi stepped out of the carriage and strongly supported Old Hansen: "My lord mayor, I am a businessman. My family is going to establish a chamber of commerce in your town. In other words, we will bring to Malun Town. Given the opportunities for development, we have sent large sums of money and life-changing opportunities to all the residents of your town."

Old Hansen stared at Lin Qi blankly, establishing a chamber of commerce in Malun Town? Of course, he understands what the Chamber of Commerce means, that means billowing money. But in this small remote place in Malun Township, although there are more than 10,000 permanent residents, all the residents live on the most traditional farming. There are fishermen and loggers in the town, but there is no rare fishery in Lake Saint-Luc, and there is no precious wood in the wood cut down. Is Lin Qi crazy or stupid to come here to open a chamber of commerce?

With a soft smile, Lin Qi patted Old Hansen on the shoulder: "Yes, I am here to build the Chamber of Commerce. I firmly believe that Malun Town has a good development prospect. It only needs a little capital investment, Malun Town The future is extremely bright!"

When Lin Qi said this, he himself felt that he was too hypocritical.

In fact, Malun Town really does not have good natural conditions for the development of business. The properties are barren and the residents are simple, but the folk customs are conservative and closed. Anyone who smashes gold coins to develop business here is either a lunatic or a fool.

But Lin Qi never thought of really doing business here to get rich. All he needed was a stronghold, a stronghold that he could firmly control in his hands. Next to the town of Maren is Lake Saint Luen, where you can easily communicate with the Gaul Empire by building a port here.

If Lin Qi can cultivate an elite force that is absolutely loyal to him in Malun Town, then as long as Lin Qi is willing, this force can sneak into the Gaul Empire in the shortest time.

The poverty of Malun Town, the remoteness of Malun Town, and the closed and conservative Malun Town all made Lin Qi satisfied.

Old Hansen and many village elders still looked at Lin Qi blankly. They tried their best to figure out what Lin Qi fell in love with in Malun Town. However, since he is going to open a chamber of commerce, let him open a chamber of commerce.

To build a chamber of commerce, do you want land? Are you going to build a house? Are you going to dig the earth? Are you going to make bricks and tiles? Do you need to chop down the beams? Even those members of your chamber of commerce, do you need to solve your own daily necessities? All this is an opportunity to make money in Marron Town, and a fool would push such a good thing outside.

As for what Lin Qi wants to do after establishing the Chamber of Commerce, or whether he can save money, what does this have to do with Malun Town?

Old Hansen smiled, and he graciously held Lin Qi's hand: "Then, you are really welcome. Your chamber of commerce should be of a large scale, right?" When Old Hansen said this, Subconsciously glanced at the guard group led by Lu En. A thousand guards, how big is this chamber of commerce!

Lin Qi laughed. He took Old Hansen into the carriage, stood on the cowl, and stretched out his hand towards the hilly area on the south side of Malun Town. "Look, it's just outside Malun Town. I think I want to get a piece of land more than five miles long and wide. This hill, I plan to spend money to buy. The forest behind the hill, if there is a master, I am willing to spend money to buy it."

"What I want to build is not just the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, I also want to build some processing plants, and I want to build a port. I will spend money to buy all these land. You see, probably do you think how much the land is worth? Where's the money?"

Old Hansen was stunned, is such a large land? He quickly exchanged glances with the elders of the villagers group. All the villagers looked at Old Hansen eagerly. Such a good thing, quickly agreed! There is nothing valuable in those hills and forests. It is a wasteland. Someone is willing to spend money to buy it. No matter how much he spends, just sell it to him.

Even if only one thousand gold coins were sold, one thousand gold coins, when was the town of Malun so lavish?

Old Hansen tremblingly put up two fingers. He felt that the two thousand gold coins in such a wasteland were a bit black-hearted. The people of the Caesar Empire are still very simple. Old Hansen felt that asking Lin Qi for two thousand gold coins was a matter of shame to his ancestors.

But considering that Malun Town has not paid enough taxes for seven consecutive years, two thousand gold coins are too valuable for Malun Town.

Lin Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Oh? Would you like to sell this piece of land to me with 200,000 gold coins? That is really great!"

Hooking his finger at Alda, Alda took out two gold tickets with a face value of one hundred thousand gold coins and stuffed them nonchalantly into Old Hansen's hands.

Two thousand gold coins!

Two hundred thousand gold coins!

Old Hansen unfolded the golden ticket tremblingly, and looked carefully for a while, then his body trembled, rolling his eyes and fainted. But just as he fainted, he woke up like a miracle. He gritted his teeth and howled hoarsely: "Children, take out the best things in the house, welcome...Welcome...Uh. ,What is your name?"

Lin Qi squinted his eyes and smiled. He straightened his chest: "The Pink Lily family, I am Yalin Targus, the second commercial officer of the Pink Lily family. You can call me Yalin. The family has a large budget recently. , So we are ready to open up the commercial market in the northern part of the mainland."

Taking a look at the golden ticket held by the old Hansen, Lin Qi said calmly: "Our family is a new family with ambitions, so we don't account for the cost issue. It is the gangster and the poor ghost. Things. We only seek the best results, no matter how much it costs."

Old Hansen took a deep breath. He firmly grasped the golden ticket, and resisted the intense dizziness, and finally did not faint.

He shouted loudly: "My fellow villagers, children, welcome to Your Excellency Yalin Tagus of the Pink Lily Family. This is the biggest festival in our history in Marron Town. Please prepare well. Let us welcome them. Welcome Their arrival. God, the gods are up, can this golden ticket be honored immediately?"

Old Hansen looked at Lin Qi pitifully, Lin Qi stayed for a while, and then grabbed the two gold tickets back.

Seeing Lin Qi grabbed the golden ticket back, Old Hansen's eyes turned scarlet, and the village elders also hurried forward a few steps, rushing to explain to Lin Qi that Old Hansen was not intentional. Lin Qi's dignity.

Lin Qi shrugged and glanced at Arda.

With a wave of Arda's hand, large swaths of golden light poured down. Two hundred thousand gold coins fell on the ground, a dizzying hill piled up on the clean mud.

"The golden ticket is indeed too inconvenient!" Lin Qi handed the two golden tickets to Lu En at will: "Lu En, take it to the brothers to make the settlement allowance, so that everyone can relax and relax these days. Lord Mayor, I think the heavy gold coins can better represent our sincerity and the strength of our Fanlily family. What do you think?"

This time Old Hansen and the villagers finally couldn't bear the powerful impact of the 200,000 gold coins piled up in front of them, and they fainted happily with nosebleeds. The residents of Malun Township had already burst into cheers like a landslide and tsunami. At this moment, Lin Qi's status in their hearts was equal to a god!

He brought the hope of prosperity and wealth to Mullen, then he is like a god!

The horrible howling of livestock being slaughtered was heard everywhere in the little Malun town, and the rich smell of meat and wine wafted over the town. Lin Qi paid a big price to order good wine, good fish, good food, and good wine from the townspeople. The whole town was plunged into a festive atmosphere.

On the hilly ground marked by Lin Qi outside the town, the people of the whole town sang and danced together with the bluefin salmon chamber of commerce and other people.

The old Mayor Hansen, who had drunk excessively, excitedly increased the five-mile-long land that Lin Qi asked for to twenty-mile-wide. Anyway, it was useless wasteland, and Lin Qi didn’t need to dig out another copper. He simply added these. The land was assigned to Lin Qi for free. (To be continued.
