Seeing the City of Friendship growing day by day, and money pouring into the treasury of the City of Friendship like a tide, the Eighth Prince finally realized that he was still one step behind, but his reaction was just a little slower, but the result was irreversible. .
In fact, in the past half year, the Eighth Prince did not implement Hana's policies without thinking at all. He always had to think about it for a period of time to understand Hana's intentions before proceeding with reforms.
But this time is different. If the eighth prince also follows Hana, he will definitely lose money. Don¡¯t look at Hana making money now, it is because he robbed all the merchants on the south bank. Otherwise, the City of Friendship I can probably cry out loud now.
In fact, this is no longer a conspiracy, it should be a conspiracy. If the eighth prince follows, then everyone will lose. It depends on who can't hold on first. Hana is confident that she can hold on to the end.
The current situation is that the eighth prince no longer has the courage to follow. He only hesitated a little and everything became irreversible. This shows how vicious Hana's hand is!
Basically, this is equivalent to a decisive blow for Hana. If the eighth prince follows, then Hana would rather lose trillions than drag down Evergreen City. Therefore, even if the eighth prince is reduced to tax-free, he still cannot escape defeat.
Another possibility is not to follow, which is the current situation. If you don't follow, then all the merchants will be taken away. Without the passenger flow, the city will have no money to make, but the royal tax, the Holy See's Taxes and employees' wages have to be paid as usual, which is a huge loss.
By now, all the merchants have gathered in the Friendship City, which is a tax-free paradise. Especially those merchants with greater influence have joined the Friendship Chamber of Commerce! It's impossible to come back.
And the most important thing is that although the eighth prince has been learning Hana in the past year, the problem now is that he can no longer learn it and does not have the conditions to learn it.
Hana handed over the sanitation responsibility to each shop, and organized each merchant to establish a joint defense team. There were tens of thousands of shops in the city. Each shop sent three people to join the joint defense team. An eighth-level team of 30,000 people organized the public security. Incomparable stability.
If 30,000 eighth-level warriors were supported by one family, it would be too exaggerated and the cost would be too high, but the City of Friendship does not need to pay a penny. These warriors are usually scattered in various shops, and some are bosses. Some are store clerks, some are bodyguards, and some are escorts! Once something happens around him, he will appear immediately to calm the trouble.
No one can afford to raise 30,000 eighth-level warriors by one person, but if there are 10,000 merchants and hundreds of thousands of people raising these 30,000 people, they can definitely support them. What¡¯s more, as a defense training team member, Delaying the usual work, if nothing happens, many joint defense team members may not be deployed once in their lives. They will do whatever they have to do, just to name a few.
Now Hachioji really wants to learn, but all the merchants in the city have gone to the City of Friendship. More than half of the shops are empty. It is impossible to entrust sanitation. As for training the defense team, it is impossible to talk about it. .
I have the intention to win those businessmen back, but why do they want to come back? The more influential merchants have already joined the Chamber of Commerce and signed the agreement under the witness of the Holy See. It cannot be broken, and there is no one who can't get along with money, right?
Faced with such a situation, although the Eighth Prince tried to save it, in fact it was beyond his control. Hana did things extremely well, leaving no chance for him at all.
Now every day, the Eighth Prince will lose a large amount of money, royal taxes, royal taxes, plus workers' wages, it will be a huge loss every month. The longer it takes, not only the money earned will have to be lost. , even the initial investment will be lost!
Dead end! It was really a dead end Sitting on the chair blankly, the Eighth Prince had a look of confusion on his face. It wasn't that he didn't work hard, but there was really no way out.
At this moment, the eighth prince wanted to throw everything away and leave, but in fact, he couldn't do that. Hundreds of billions of funds had been invested here, and he didn't just throw it away. How could he explain it to the royal family? If he left like this, he would probably be worse than the dead prince. At least he would still have a city left.
It¡¯s not about leaving, it¡¯s not about staying. Looking at the huge deficit presented every day, the Eighth Prince hasn¡¯t closed his eyes for half a month. His eyes are full of bloodshot eyes. It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to sleep, but that he can¡¯t sleep at all!
Just as the eighth prince was despairing, on the other side of the river, in the huge city lord's palace, Lu Yi was sitting leisurely in a lounge chair on the rooftop, holding a wine gourd in his hand. Beside him, little Luna was sitting there obediently, Holding a quill in hand, learning to write
After taking a sip of thunder fruit wine, Lu Yi turned his head, looked at Hana on the recliner next to him and said, "How is it? That guy opposite is being driven crazy by you, right?"
"Hmph!" Hana snorted cutely, clenched her white fists and said, "It would be better to make him angry to death. This person is so shameless. The world is so big, but he wants to fight against us."
Hearing Hana's words, Lu Yi couldn't help but shook his head and said: "What you said is wrong. This is the core area of ??the Kingdom of Gary. It is their home, and it is the most profitable. It's okay if I didn't know before. Now that people know How can you let others earn your own money?"
"Huh?" Hana looked at Lu Yi doubtfully, and said in confusion: "How do I feel that you are speaking for the eighth prince? Whydo you have any ideas?"
Facing Hana's inquiry, Lu Yi said seriously: "Hana, we can't stay here for too long. After all, this is other people's kingdom. For you and me, this is other people's home. We have our own kingdom. My own home needs to be built, this place is just for practicing and training the team."
"Well" Nodding, Hana said: "Yes, you have said this many times, what do you mean"
After taking a long breath, Lu Yi leaned back on the chair and said leisurely: "Have you ever thought about what will happen to this place once you and I leave? Who are you going to hand it over to? And you are going to hand it over to you. The trained team will stay and be handled remotely?"
Hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana couldn't help but frowned. Seeing this scene, Lu Yi continued: "Whether it is you or your team, we will take them away. If someone else is here, Do you think they can fight against the Eighth Prince on the opposite side?"
Shaking her head resolutely, Hana said decisively: "It's difficult, it's really difficult. The eighth prince is very financially capable, and he has the support of the Gary royal family behind him. Even though we are here, we have to deal with it carefully. It took nearly two years of fighting. The winner has been determined initially, let alone anyone else, even if we continue to stay here, it may not be a guaranteed win! There are still many variables in it. "
Nodding appreciatively, Lu Yi continued: "So, my opinion is to let it go as soon as it's good. There is actually no hatred between us and the Eighth Prince. We are all just pursuing interests, for our own good and for our own good." Hello, Hachioji, cooperation is an inevitable choice."
"Cooperation!" After hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana immediately sat up straight and looked at Lu Yi in surprise.
Nodding, Lu Yi continued: "Yes, only cooperation can preserve everything. Evergreen City and Friendship City will be merged, and then all governance will be handed over to the eighth prince. With the royal family behind, this city will last long. ! Otherwise, no matter who is replaced to manage it, it will eventually be taken away."
"But" Looking at Lu Yi hesitantly, Hana said uncertainly: "But if we cooperate, how will the benefits be distributed? I won't do it if the share is less, but if we share more, the Eighth Prince won't accept it, right? !¡±
After taking a sip of wine, Lu Yi shook his head and said, "The eighth prince has no choice now. It's not a question of whether he agrees or not, but a question of whether we give him a chance. Once we don't give him this chance, even if we don't give him this chance in the future, We ourselves feel uncomfortable, but the Eighth Prince will definitely fall."
Having said this, Lu Yi turned his head, looked at Hana and said: "Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to the interests here. We can't make all the money. It's okay to do this in a short time, but over time , something will eventually go wrong, haven¡¯t the events of the past two or three years made you understand this?¡±
Hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana suddenly opened her mouth, yes In the past two or three years, too many things have happened. In fact, everything revolves around interests. If you get too much Money, then there will be people who are greedy for it. If they are so greedy, they will use various means to rob it, and they will never have a moment of peace.
"Thenwhat do you mean?" Facing Lu Yi's words, Hana asked cautiously.
After tapping the table gently for a long time Lu Yi finally slapped the armrest of his chair and said decisively: "We will first acquire Changqing City, and then build a bridge across the river to connect the two cities. Combined into one.¡±
Hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana frowned and said: "As long as we stretch out our hands, we can indeed do it, butif we really do this, the profits will be too great. The Gary royal family will not give up sooner or later. I will take action again.¡±
Shaking his head, Lu Yi said decisively: "Don't worry, we already have some forces, and the Kingdom of Gary cannot move them if they want. Moreover, after we merge the two cities into one and develop them, we will It¡¯s time to negotiate with the Gary royal family.¡±
"Negotiation?" After hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana was confused and had no idea what he was talking about.
Nodding, Lu Yi stood up and said with shining eyes: "We should not just focus on one city or one place. Through negotiations, we handed over the cross-river city of Evergreen Friendship to the Kingdom of Gary. In return, the Kingdom of Gary needs to give us four pieces of land in each city in the country with a population of over one million, and no matter what we do on this piece of land, we must enjoy tax-free treatment!"
"What! There are only more than a hundred super cities in our kingdom, and the total land is only four to five hundred pieces of land. Just trade it for our big city! This" After hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana was speechless. This loss The food must be too big.
Seeing Hana's stingy look, Lu Yi couldn't help but laugh and shook his head. Lu Yi said: "Don't worry, of course it won't be enough to just exchange for four or five hundred pieces of land. We can sell the city to them at a price, and you Don¡¯t underestimate the tax-free policy. With this policy, we can do business throughout the Kingdom of Gary!¡±
