Looking at Lu Yi guiltily, Hana said eagerly: "I know it's all my fault, what should I do now? Should we evacuate directly? Or should we confront them?"
"Confrontation!" After hearing Hana's words, Lu Yi shook his head and said: "What can we do to fight against them? There are a thousand ninth-level masters, and there is no way to fight against them."
At this point, Lu Yi paused for a moment, and then continued: "Besides, what I said just now is not to blame you, but to analyze a fact. When I handed over the Free City to you, it was actually for you. A test, and nowthe test results are out, you are suitable for handling government affairs, but not suitable for handling military affairs!"
"Oh!" After hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana suddenly realized that although she had made some guesses before, it was only now that she finally got confirmation.
Looking at Hana, Lu Yi continued: "You don't have to feel guilty. It's just a city. Success or failure is not important. You know you will govern an entire country in the future. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes now. You have to pay the tuition, but if something happens in the future, the tuition will be too expensive, do you understand what I mean?"
"What! Youyou mean" Hana couldn't believe her ears when she heard Lu Yi's words.
Smiling and nodding, Lu Yi reached into his arms, took out a map, spread it on the ground on the rooftop, and said with his fingers: "Look at this map, the entrance to our dungeon is there. An extinct volcano is right here, take a closer look, what can you find?"
Looking at the map in confusion, Hana¡¯s pretty brows were furrowed tightly. She looked at it over and over again for a long time, but she still couldn¡¯t understand the details and meaning.
With a leisurely smile, Lu Yi took out a pen and drew on the map while writing. At the same time, he said solemnly: "If we build an artificial canal here, here, and here, we can connect these three major rivers. If we are together, you can take another look."
Hearing what Lu Yi said, Hana looked at it carefully. After Lu Yi made a few connections, although the entire map changed very little, the changes that occurred were huge!
"Hiss" Taking a breath of cold air, Hana finally saw it. She raised her head in disbelief. Hana trembled and said: "This is not the center of the dynasty. The location is far away, but here is the entire waterway of the dynasty. hub, through which ships can reach any kingdom along the three rivers!¡±
Smiling and nodding, Lu Yi's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "Yes, although this is not the center of the continent in an absolute sense, in fact the central hub of the continent is the seat of the Holy See. Even if we can't get there Yes, but as long as three canals are built, then the center of the mainland waterway will be our place."
"Oh my god!" Looking at the map in disbelief, Hana couldn't breathe. You knowif you take the land route, you will encounter many wild animals, which is very dangerous. Without the protection of the mercenary group, you will not be able to travel at all.
Relatively speaking, waterways are much safer. Although there are underwater monsters, as long as they don't jump into the water, the underwater monsters generally don't attack people. They are protected by the hull and are not afraid of attacks.
Seeing Hana's excited look, Lu Yi smiled and said: "Actually, I have known that you were wrong all along, but I didn't say anything. I just want you to feel the taste of failure for yourself, so that you can understand that the plan is not going to work. Zhou¡¯s words, the consequences would be so serious!¡±
Taking a long breath, Lu Yi shook his head and said: "What we have lost now is just a city. Although it is a pity, to put it bluntly, this is just a hub city of a kingdom. But if we make such a mistake in the future, we will lose It will be the mature hydraulic hub of the continent, and even the entire kingdom!"
"No, no, no no, I can manage the Free City, but" After hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana waved her hands violently. He had never considered what Lu Yi said.
Patting Hana's shoulder, Lu Yi said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with it. We actually only build a city on the surface, a super giant city. The other parts of the city are underground, so for you, the so-called Governing a country is actually just governing the city on the surface, and it is no different from a free city."
"Oh!" After hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana's eyes suddenly lit up and she thought about this possibility carefully. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that things were just as Lu Yi said. What she was responsible for was really just a city. As for Of course, there are other people to assist her in managing the underground part.
Seeing Hana lost in thought, Lu Yi did not disturb her. Through the soul chain, represented by the forty ninth-level masters, he issued orders to various departments.If you can't fight, you can only give in, but give in, but it won't be in vain, you have to get something, and this free city will not be the same free city.
Soon, new announcements were posted on various bulletin boards in Free City. All stores in Free City will be sold to the public in a unified manner! It was officially listed for sale in three days! The quantity is limited, first come first served, then it will be gone!
Seeing this announcement, the whole city became agitated. You know the shops in the Free City were originally owned by the Senhong Principality. All merchants rented them, and the rent was very expensive.
Now that it is for sale, although the price is high, with the environment and potential of the free city, no matter how high the price is, it is still a good deal, and you can earn it back in a few years.
The merchants who are relatively well-informed are already aware of the imminent attack by the Kingdom of Gary, but they ignore it. No matter who the Free City belongs to, it has no direct relationship with them.
The land does not belong to the Senhong Principality, nor does it belong to the Kingdom of Gary, but to the Holy See. The Kingdom of Gary and the Senhong Principality only have the right to use it. What Lu Yi is doing now is equivalent to giving up the right to use it and selling it. If it is given to an individual, there is a transfer agreement issued by the Holy See, which no one can overturn.
In other words, although Lu Yi is about to lose the Free City, he has not lost it yet. He is still the owner of this land and the person who decides the use rights of this land. Before the Kingdom of Gary takes back the Free City, even the royal family None can interfere.
To put it simply, Lu Yi's sale of land is actually transferring the use rights of this land to an individual. As long as he is the master of this city, he will have such rights until he loses the city. Disappeared, enjoyed by those who occupied the city.
For merchants, they are not buying land from Lu Yi, but buying land like the Holy See, but the right to use this land belongs to Lu Yi, so he must agree, otherwise the transaction will not proceed.
Three days later, tens of thousands of stores in Free City will be on sale at the same time! Even the goods distribution centers and warehousing centers were packed for takeout, leaving nothing behind. Basically everything that could be sold was sold, and not even a millimeter of land in the entire free city was left.
Although time is very tight and can even be described as rushed, for Lu Yi, nothing is a problem. The prices of all stores are written on the signs and hung on the walls. Everyone can bid, and the one with the highest price will be the last. winner!
Three days! In just three days, with the efforts of thousands of employees of the Grand Duke's Mansion, all the stores were sold out. Except for private houses, not a single store belonged to the Senhong Principality, and all of them were bought by various merchants.
There are tens of thousands of shops, each of which is a three-story building covering an area of ??more than a thousand square meters. A seventh-level earth mage can build such a building in a day, covering every street in the free city, forming a free building. urban business circle.
Now, all these tens of thousands of shops have been sold, in exchange for a huge amount of money. The tens of thousands of shops have been sold for a total of more than 800 billion. Although the price is not too high, considering that the time is so short, , and the situation is so unfavorable, this price is enough to satisfy anyone.
After collecting the money, Lu Yi and Hana led thousands of management members of the Grand Duke's Palace to leave the Free City. From now on, this place no longer belongs to them. They have become guests of this city. Throughout the city, Only the Grand Duke's Palace has not been sold, and the Grand Duke's Palace will also be taken away.
Just as Hana was leaving from the north gate with a group of people, from the south gate, the ninth-level legion of the Principality of Gary slowly drove in and headed straight for the Grand Duke's Mansion
Led by members of the royal family, more than a thousand ninth-level masters fought all the way to the Grand Duke's Palace. They thought they would encounter some resistance, but they never expected that they did not encounter any obstruction from entering the Free City to entering the Grand Duke's Palace. , there was no one in the entire Grand Duke's Mansion.
Faced with this situation, the eldest prince who was in charge of this operation was stunned for a moment, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed. In fact, there was no need to think too much. Facing thousands of ninth-level masters, a small principality could not do anything. It was impossible to resist. The reason why so many masters were gathered at that time was to defeat the enemy without fighting. Obviously, their goal was achieved. They completely took over this city with unlimited potential without fighting. middle.
After arriving in the city, the eldest prince, on behalf of the royal family, went through the handover procedures with the local Holy See. Since the city now has no owner, the other user of this land, the Gary royal family, naturally has the right to speak.
After taking over the entire city, various information was quickly collected. Before hearing that Lu Yi left, he actually collected all the information.The shops were all sold, and the eldest prince was very angry. However, after being depressed for a while, the eldest prince soon laughed. Although the losses were huge, they could not take away the greatest benefits.
The biggest economic source of Free City is not the rent of shops, but taxes! Although they have lost these shops now, they have enough tax revenue to satisfy them.
After obtaining the ownership of the city, a group of ninth-level masters all received a large amount of money, and then dispersed and rushed back to their own countries, while the eldest prince took over the free city and completely took over the daily operations of the free city! Until now, he still didn't understand what Lu Yi did, let alone how serious the consequences of doing so were!
