Bright Era

Norwayman scratched his head hard. Kailuman put his hands on his chest and put on a posture of contemplation.

This pair of Weng and son-in-law have always been outside by Norwayman. Even if Kailuman actually has a mind that is not weaker than Norwayman, he is more willing to use a straightforward and rude face to meet people, allowing Norwayman, who seems to be cunning, to deal with outsiders.

It is precisely because of this that the Weng and Son-in-law have been able to take root in Mali City steadily over the years, and Kairouman's military rank has risen from an ordinary major to a colonel.

Kairouman didn't say a word, but looked at Lin Qi with wide eyes. His eyes looked dazed and he didn't seem to know what Lin Qi was talking about.

Norwayman grabbed his head hard, until he grabbed a few hairs from his head and slowly landed on the ground, Norwayman suddenly laughed: "It seems like this. Of course, Armed conflict is not allowed. If an armed conflict breaks out in the Chamber of Commerce, Colonel Kairouman and I will be reprimanded by the military, and may even be demoted!"

Lin Qi smiled and nodded gently.

As the military brains stationed in Mali, Norwayman and Kairouman each performed their duties. Norwayman is responsible for the anti-smuggling work in the nearby waters, inspecting all merchant ships and passenger ships in the waters of Mali City, and has the power of anti-theft on the water. Kairuman is responsible for the defense of Mali. Of course, the daily security of Mali should be in charge of the security department under the city guards. However, if there are some large-scale armed conflicts in the city, Kairuman is also responsible. Send troops to suppress.

As Lin Qi said, the city of Mali is now saturated, and no matter what business chamber it is, it is no longer able to step in. If a new large chamber of commerce comes, the original chamber of commerce is bound to clashed with him. If it is just a conflict in commercial means, causing fluctuations in the prices of various commodities, affecting the taxation of Mali, etc., this is the main headache for Mali.

But if, as Lin Qi said, armed conflicts broke out between chambers of commerce to compete for markets and channels, then neither Norwegian nor Kailuman could escape, and both of them must take responsibility for such armed conflicts.

"So, Mullen Town is indeed a good choice!" Norwayman scratched his head vigorously. "But, it's not a wise choice. It's empty and there is nothing, Mr. Targus, there is nothing there. No."

Lin Qi pressed one hand on the sand table, while the other hand drew a circle around the town of Malun.

"But it will be available soon. I will privately invest to build a wharf in Marron Town that is large enough to accommodate large merchant ships. My initial plan is that this port should have a capacity to accommodate 100 large merchant ships for unloading at the same time, and accommodate five The permanent capacity of ten large ships."

Norwayman's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he squinted his eyes, lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly said, "This is a big investment. Of course, if your family privately invested in building such a port, yes. The empire is advantageous, and no one will oppose the emergence of this port...except..."

Lin Qi said calmly: "Except for the existing chambers of commerce in Mali. Lieutenant Colonel Norwayman, you are a wise old man, so you must be able to understand that the appearance of such a large port in Malen will have a serious impact on Mali. What an impact. It’s unceremonious to say that this old port in Mali will completely lose its appeal when the port in Marron begins to operate."

"Bigger ports, greater cargo throughput, more convenient cargo transportation, faster cargo transactions. My chamber of commerce will build dozens of workshops in Malun Town to further process the various raw materials delivered. Then sell them to all parts of the north of the Caesar Empire."

"The future of Malun Town is not only a port transit city, not just a raw material distribution center, not just a poor port where cheap raw material import and export tariffs are collected. Malun Town will become a trading center, a manufacturing center, A real industrial town."

Lin Qi took a deep breath and said vigorously: "With the huge investment of the Pink Lily family, Malun Town will grow more than twice as big as Mali City within ten years. We will build a dwarven weapon casting workshop, Dwarf An armor casting workshop, and... a large shipyard."

Norwayman and Kairouman were horrified, Kairouman let go of his arms and stared at Lin Qi firmly.

"Short artificial field?" Kailuman gritted his teeth: "Mr. Targus, are you kidding? Short artificial field? If you can open a low artificial field in Marron Town, then..."

Norwayman and Kailuman only felt that their hearts were beating violently, and neither of them knew what to say. Everyone in the Western Continent knows that the casting technology of dwarves is the best in the world. If there is a dwarf artificial field to make weapons and armor in Malun Town, Malun Town will immediately become the focus of the Imperial Army!

As for the large shipyards, the army of the Caesar Empire is known as the number one on the mainland. At the same time, although the Caesar Empire has a long northern coastline, the Caesar Empire’s navy has a sneered nickname-the Inland Navy!

The army ranks first in the mainland, but the navy ranks? All the admirals of the Caesar Empire know that the navy of the Caesar Empire is probably out of the top ten in the entire continent. Because of some historical reasons in the Caesar Empire, he has the best soldiers and sailors on the mainland, but their ships are really of poor quality!

"You take the liberty to ask." Norwayman stared at Lin Qi with red eyes: "What is the level of craftsmanship in your so-called large shipyard?"

Lin Qi glanced at Norwayman and smiled modestly: "The craftsmen who preside over the shipbuilding are all... goblins!"

There was a terrible ‘chuckle’ from Norwayman’s throat, the shipyard hosted by the goblin! Really, it's a hell, where did this Bluefin Salmon Chamber of Commerce come out? What are they trying to do? Dwarf Foundry, Goblin Shipyard, and maybe even some other things, what do they want to do?

Lin Qi said slowly: "Our family has declined, and has only gradually revived in recent decades. Of course, this revival has the meaning of a nouveau riche. We do not have our own foundation. We want to find one. The ground that is enough for our family to take root. There is no doubt that the Caesar Empire is our best partner, because what we have is what you lack the most."

Both Norwayman and Kailuman blushed for a while, and Lin Qi said this very rudely. The so-called what he has is what the Caesar Empire lacks, is it just saying that the Caesar Empire is slightly poorer?

However, if Lin Qi's promise can really be realized, as long as the town of Malun really develops in accordance with Lin Qi's plan, Norwayman and Kailuman will also rise! The two defense zones included the town of Mullen, and they were the highest military commander of Mullen. When Malun Town develops, when the Empire discovers the potential of Malun Town, Malun Town is bound to be valued by the Empire, and the scale of the garrison here will inevitably be greatly expanded.

With the qualifications of Norwayman and Kairouman, plus some of their own connections in the military department, after the expansion of the garrison in Mali City and Malun Town and the upgrade of their military establishment, they are 90% sure that they will become the highest in the new military region. commander. Maybe they will have shining generals on their shoulders instead of the ranks of lieutenant colonel and colonel in the ‘poor baba’—the **** thing is the rank of lieutenant colonel and colonel in the local guard of the second-rate army!

"After your goblin shipyard is completed, once you start building those battleships..." Norwayman looked at Lin Qi thoughtfully.

"Of course, whoever can afford it, I will sell it to whom!" Lin Qi grinned: "We are merchants, and we built ships, so we naturally want to sell them. But after all, we are in the territory of the Caesar Empire. Therefore, we will prioritize the needs of the Caesar Empire."

Beckoned to Luen, Luen stepped forward and spread out a huge volume of shipbuilding drawings on the sand table.

This scroll of drawings is a small part of the bet that Lin Qi won from Yun Xiaoming and others when he was gambling with the Yun family. After all, Yun's mother belongs to the largest shipbuilding family in the Vias family. How could they lack shipbuilding drawings?

Lin Qi is now unable to open the World Ring, unable to come up with drawings. . . But with his skills, it is easy to draw an overall structure diagram by himself.

Shown in front of Norwayman and Kailuman is a structural drawing of a heavy main battleship nearly three hundred meters in length. Of course, this is only a general sketch, without detailed construction drawings of each part. But just this general outline, as well as the parameters and indicators of the various warships marked above, has already made Norwayman tremble with excitement.

The current flagship of the Royal First Fleet of the Caesar Empire, the overall performance is less than half of the heavy warship on this drawing!

"You!" Norwayman turned to look at Lin Qi, and could only say this one word.

Lin Qi spread his hands and pointed to the outside of the office.

"I brought one million gold coins in cash to the two commanders. This will be the first donation of the Bluefin Salmon Chamber of Commerce!"

"With the development of the Chamber of Commerce in the future, our Chamber of Commerce and our family will make more powerful and sincere donations to the two of you. What we need is that our development must be protected by the authorities. We don’t want any outsiders. Factors undermine the development of our chamber of commerce!"

Rolling up the general sketch of the ship, and gently thrusting it into Norwayman's arms, Lin Qi said indifferently: "This drawing, you can send it to anyone you think is reliable and can be trusted. This represents The sincerity of our chamber of commerce and our family. We want to be protected. Before we have established the chamber of commerce, we want to be protected!"

Gently flicking the sand table, Lin Qi sighed softly: "You know, the technology our family has is very sensitive, if we develop in the Caesar Empire..."

Norwayman clasped the drawing in his arms tightly and nodded knowingly.

In front of this general sketch of a heavy warship, what is the donation of one million gold coins?

Norwayman was trembling with excitement, he seemed to see the hope of the rise of the Imperial Navy!

At all costs, even if it is to pull down his old face to ask for the care of those old relationships, Norwayman must keep the Bluefin Salmon Chamber of Commerce! (To be continued.
