Three years passed in the blink of an eye. In three years, under the governance of Lu Yi and Hana, the Kingdom of Lu Yi grew from scratch, from ordinary to prosperous, and developed at an astonishing speed.
Although this is not the center of the continent, it is the intersection of the continent's water flows. If you look at the entire continent, then this is the most convenient transportation hub.
It was not that no one had taken a fancy to this place before, but at that time, it was not a hydraulic hub. Lu Yi spent more than 3 trillion yuan to dig three canals and connected the three major river systems together, thus forming this center.
Of course, it must be mentioned that this is not the only place where this can be done. In fact, it can be changed to other places, but it is just a matter of directing the canal to other places. But what Lu Yi is interested in is the underground world under the extinct volcano. So even if you take a slight turn, you still have to lead it over.
The geographical advantage that did not exist before was realized through three hundred-mile-long canals. Once the geographical advantage was achieved, the next step was publicity. With the foundation laid in the City of Friendship, the name of the Luyi Kingdom soon became famous all over the world. , favored by businessmen all over the world. Sometimes, a good reputation is more important than anything else.
Of course, if you want to establish a kingdom, Lu Yi must come forward to establish it. Lu Yi cannot just give up the title of prince to others and let others build the kingdom. First, no one has this prestige. For the factions under Lu Yi , only Lu Yi can convince the public. If it were Hana, it would be too far behind. Even if she didn't say anything on the surface, secretly, she was so far behind!
For people in this era, it is very important for whom to serve and for whom to sacrifice one's life. Not everyone can obtain their allegiance, even if that person is Lu Yi's wife or child. , they would rather retire than surrender to others. Even if Lu Yi forces him, he cannot force them out of their hearts.
After establishing the kingdom with Lu Yi's name as the country's name, Lu Yi was not in a hurry to pass the throne to Hana. He was not greedy for this position, but wanted to help Hana take on more responsibilities. At the beginning of the founding of the country, everything was difficult. Hana's shoulders are still too small to bear the heavy burden, and most importantly, Lu Yi's subordinates do not know Hana, and have not even had contact with her. They are trying to consolidate their forces. Before, even if Hana wanted to take over, she didn't know how.
After the successful founding of the country, Lu Yi sent out two hundred propaganda teams, each consisting of four ninth-level masters. They were each responsible for the propaganda work of a kingdom. As for how to do it, Lu Yi could completely convey it through brain-eating insects.
After dispatching 800 ninth-level masters, Lu Yi arranged for Vajra clones in various places to notify his subordinates in each area to sell their properties. Except for Yue Island, all other properties were packaged for takeout, and then he rushed to the mainland at full speed. The Kingdom of Yi.
Boats are relatively the safest mode of transportation in the world. There are many monsters underwater, but as long as they don't enter the water, they won't be attacked. The monsters on both sides of the river will basically not attack targets on the river. The only thing to worry about is The only ones are birds in the sky, but that can be prevented. Under normal circumstances, birds will not choose ships as targets.
After waiting for three months, Lu Yi's men arrived one after another. The first to arrive were the three Amy sisters, which expanded to 90,000 people and took over the intelligence work and security work of Lu Yi's kingdom.
Eighty thousand eighth-level masters are something that only a poor country can gather together. With so many masters, the Kingdom of Lu Yi can be said to be impregnable. Forces like the Kingdom of Gary can no longer threaten Lu Yi. .
Among the three Amy sisters, Nila is the best at conspiracy and subversion, so she is in charge of overall intelligence work, while Vinnie is better at assassinations, so she is in charge of military agents. As for Amy, who is best at frontal attacks and assassinations, They are responsible for forming special forces to solve problems that ordinary armies cannot solve.
¡°In this way, Nila is in charge of intelligence and planning, Vinnie is in charge of covert assistance, and Amy is in charge of attacking openly. Under the trinity, even if the target is the kingdom, it can be subverted!
Of course, Lu Yi is not a crazy person, and he will not take the initiative to provoke others if they don't provoke him. However, as an old saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others! Thereforethe three Amy sisters still have work to do.
Not to mention the distance, we must pay attention to the surrounding countries alone. The three sisters have a total of 90,000 troops. They were divided into several groups and invaded the surrounding kingdoms in various identities. With their strength, they have no worries. Those royal families don't use them.
¡° In this way, these intelligence agents, agents, and special forces can not only get a salary in the Lu Yi Kingdom, but also get a salary in other kingdoms, which is a blessing to live.
?After the three major military intelligence bureaus were put into operation, everything in the royal city from the inside out was under Lu Yi's control. No matter what happened anywhere, as long as it was against Lu Yi's kingdom, he would know it immediately, and Arrangements and arrangements were made in a timely manner, and a large number of intelligence officers and agents were dispatched to the imperial capital, where transportation was located.
As Lu Yi¡¯s subordinates led their teams to arrive one by one, the Lu Yi Kingdom was initially established. Immediately afterwards, businessmen from all over the country rushed towards the Lu Yi Kingdom in twos and threes with a tentative mentality.
The merchants on land are still a little worse. The ones who care most about the Luyi Kingdom are those merchants who have been traveling by water for many years. In the past they did business on three waterways respectively. They would never go to other rivers, and they couldn't cross even if they wanted to. .
But now, due to the opening of three canals, the three rivers are connected. In this way, these businessmen can reach any place on the continent through this transfer station. There is too much business to do and many places to run. I don¡¯t know how many times!
The kingdom has just been built, but its scale is not small at all. Surrounded by an extinct volcano, the royal city is completely built on the hillside, built in circles. The entire royal city is not as huge as imagined.
In order to build the canal, as well as the royal city, especially the underground city, Lu Yi spent every penny he had on hand. Now, he can basically be described as having nothing.
However, Lu Yi is not worried about this. Since this hydraulic hub was designed and built by Lu Yi, he has already planned it. The canal cannot be dug in vain, and he cannot pay for it in vain!
Three rivers flowed from the southeast, northeast, and west respectively, and then flowed around the huge extinct volcano, forming a water ring surrounding the imperial city!
The three rivers formed a huge "Y" around the extinct volcano. The center of the "Y" is the location of the extinct volcano. If you want to enter other rivers, you must follow the river and make a half circle around the royal city. Only then can you enter the river.
Lu Yi has set up customs at the entrance of each river and the river around the city. No taxes are collected here, but a part of the canal construction costs are charged. Just like the tolls of highways on the earth, they must be paid. The deal is done, you can go back to where you came from, you can't go on this waterway!
There is a reason why Lu Yi dares to collect money like this. The money is not too much, and the purpose is not just for money, but to let all businessmen understand whose territory this is, and these three canals. Who repaired it so that they know who they should thank! Instead of using it in vain, without even saying thank you.
Customs clearance fees are divided according to the size of the ship. All ships are divided into four grades, small, medium, large, and giant. It doesn¡¯t matter whether you are pulling something or not, how much you are pulling, let alone what you are pulling, as long as If you want to pass here, you must pay a certain fee according to the size of the boat.
For merchants from all over the country, this fee is very low. It doesn¡¯t even cost money for a meal. This is not what Lu Yi is interested in. The purpose of setting up the checkpoint is to tell the merchants that you have entered our Kingdom of Lu Yi. Take my Lu Yi's territory!
The slopes of the extinct volcano, which is more than ten kilometers in diameter, are all within the scope of the royal city. Of course the royal city is not just a hundred miles in radius. In fact, what is built up the hillside is the inner city of the Lu Yi Kingdom. , outside the circular river channel is the outer layer of the Lu Yi Kingdom and the most important commercial area.
The extinct volcano is not steep. In fact, it is a steep slope of 30 degrees. It is just a very large area. Buildings are built around the cone-shaped extinct volcano, protruding above the surface. This is the inner city of the Kingdom of Lu Yi! It is also the location of the royal palace.
Outside the extinct volcano with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, there is a ring-shaped river. However, it is worth mentioning that this river is not a single river. There are three rings in total, each ring is ten kilometers apart.
Among them, the first ring is the anterograde ring, the second ring is the retrograde ring, and the third ring is the grooming ring! No matter which direction the boat enters, you can choose to go forward or reverse according to the river you want to go. If you want to go to the river on the left, then go forward. If you want to go to the river on the right, then go forward. In the retrograde loop, you are only allowed to travel in one direction within the same river, and you are not allowed to travel in the opposite direction.
As for the third ring, it is the diversion ring. Those whose destinations are either other rivers or those who want to come to the royal city will enter the third ring. The so-called third ring is the outermost ring, the one farthest from the inner city. Ring, ships can travel around the city, reach any area freely, sell or buy goods, relax or have entertainment.
The third ring of rivers creates three ten-kilometer-wide commercial belts! When moving forward in the river, you can dock the boat at any time and take it on the river to eat, rest, have fun, and have a good rest., then continue to board the boat and move forward. The three commercial belts surrounding the three rivers will bring countless profits to the Luyi Kingdom.
The three commercial belts, plus the inner city of the royal city, form a huge royal city with a diameter of more than two hundred miles. All the royal city areas are commercial belts. The large number of people and passengers brought by the three rivers will bring incomparably huge wealth!
There are various commercial institutions in various commercial belts, but Lu Yi has no plans to sell or rent these properties. Not only do the properties and land belong to the Kingdom, but even the business can be done by the Kingdom itself. .
With a diameter of hundreds of kilometers and an area of ??more than 200 miles, tens of thousands of buildings can be built. The entire royal city is divided into three large areas by three rivers. Among them, the one outside the third ring road is naturally the largest and can extend infinitely around. The commercial belt within the third ring road is also ten kilometers wide, and a large number of commercial buildings can be built.
Of course, everything must be done step by step. If you rely entirely on your own strength, it would be too eager for quick success. Although the ultimate goal is to do all the business by yourself, Lu Yi's business team does not mind borrowing the hands of others to quickly transform the royal city. development, so in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, all commercial buildings still had to be rented out.
Rent out the shops in the early stage to quickly make the royal city prosperous. Then, as the royal city develops, reforms will be carried out step by step, and the released industries and rights will be taken back little by little. In fact, it is not taken back. As long as you follow the plan, after the store expires , as long as you don¡¯t continue to rent, various industries will be monopolized by the royal family one by one.
