    Chapter 513 [How many people are here?  ¡¿

    These chambers of commerce, large and small, dare to do business in the world. Which chamber of commerce doesn't have some warriors to protect them?

    There are no highways or trains in this world.  The transportation of goods from southeast to northwest relied entirely on caravan wheels and horse hooves to measure the empire's land.

    It is normal to walk thousands of miles. If there is no escort force in the caravan, then I am afraid that some car bandits, road lords, or mountain bandits and horse bandits will eat you until you are gone.  remain.

    It may be a little better at home. After all, the world is still king, there is a stable imperial government, and the local area is generally peaceful.

    But if you want to do business in the northwest grasslands or the orcs in the north, it will be difficult to move forward without some defensive force.

    Therefore, it is not too difficult for any chamber of commerce that can make a lot of money to arm a hundred or ten people.

    Some large and top chambers of commerce, such as the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce or the Lister family, carry thousands of armors in private - although imperial laws do not allow merchants to maintain private armies.  According to the imperial code, owning a private army is the privilege of a small number of nobles.

    But those large and top chambers of commerce will naturally take advantage of loopholes.  Hire or keep some warriors yourself, and to the outside world they are just porters and commoners or ordinary horsemen in the caravan, but in fact, who cares?

    Over time, the empire also understood that it was impossible to prohibit this kind of thing, so it simply turned a blind eye.

    Speaking of the elite level of personnel, some caravans traveled north and south, and the escorts and armed forces have all seen the world, even seen blood, and experienced some battles. Of course they are not comparable to the Thunder God's Whip, but they are better.  More sophisticated than the Imperial local garrisons in some places.

    These thirty-two fortresses thrown out by Chen Daolin.  In name, they are thrown out for everyone to join the game. These thirty-two fortresses are regarded as some storage points, supply points, and even cargo transfer stations on the trade routes to the northern Orc Kingdom. They indeed have considerable capabilities.  the value of.

    Thirty-two fortresses have gone through a series of auctions - to be precise, they are actually called subscriptions.

    In less than an hour, it was all divided up - not even enough.

    Chen Daolin did not treat his own people badly.

    Although he rejected the request of Miss Fiona from the Tulip family to take part, he allowed the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce and the Lister family to take advantage.

    Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, one family subscribed to five fortresses - if it were not for Chen Daolin's restrictions.  I'm afraid that the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce would like to capture ten fortresses.

    And the Liszt family was even more powerful. They occupied three of the largest red fortresses in one go.  As for the second-tier blue fortresses, they even grabbed five of them at once.

    Although other chambers of commerce have some slander, it¡¯s hard to say anything.

    The Pompeii Chamber of Commerce made its identity clear, and the signboard they came to subscribe for at the auction was - Wushuangfang.

    What?  Don¡¯t you know what Wushuangfang is?  Go to the imperial capital and ask around!  This is an industry jointly established by Master Darling and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce!  In other words, one of the original owners of Wushuangfang was Master Darling himself.

    The northwest fortress belongs to him. Now he wants to take a big share of his own property. Who can say no?

    As for why the List family has more shares than other families?

    Nonsense.  Did you see that Miss Rodel, the eldest member of the Liszt family, lives in Master Darling¡¯s house?

    ¡°Haven¡¯t you ever heard of the relationship between Miss Rodel and Master Darling?

    Maybe in a year and a half, they will even give birth to a little mage!  This is even more of a family, since it is a family.  Mr. Darling wants to seek some benefits for his wife and family, who can say no?

    ¡­¡­

    With the exception of the two behemoths, the Lister Family and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, no other chamber of commerce has ever had a situation where one company monopolizes several fortresses.

    After a lot of competition, the nineteen chambers of commerce with the highest bids were finally selected.  The remaining nineteen forts were divided.

    As for the other chambers of commerce, Chen Daolin would not really let them return empty-handed.

    He also offered some business opportunities, saying that they could be outsourced to everyone.

    Since it is foreign trade.  It is obvious that this group of northwest fortresses will soon become the largest trading center facing the Orc Kingdom in the northwest of the empire.

    It is almost equivalent to a port city.  SoThe goods and wealth collected and distributed here must be massive.

    Therefore, there are naturally many ways to make money here.  In addition to directly sending caravans out to trade with the orcs, there are naturally other ways to make a fortune.

    For exampledoing logistics?  Can you drive a car?  Open cargo station and so on.  Even if you don¡¯t do these.  In such a large port city, how many people come in and out every day? Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all businesses. Even if you open an inn or restaurant, you can make a lot of money.

    Chen Daolin was determined to establish an interest group. He included all the chambers of commerce that came this time into his interest alliance. Those who did not take pictures of the fortress also outsourced their surrounding businesses.  Come on everyone.

    In the end, a total of more than 30 large and small chambers of commerce were established, and almost all the future foreign trade of this northwest fortress group, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, was taken over!

    Finally, according to more than 30 chambers of commerce, money and people were contributed. According to the proportion, each company occupied a part of the shares and the benefits were distributed.

    At the end of the night, everyone was talking enthusiastically. The heads or representatives of the chamber of commerce who came here all had their faces flushed. Thinking of the upcoming road to wealth, everyone seemed to have a fire burning in their hearts.  .

    And the only one who returned empty-handed was the Tulip family!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Youactually didn't take action?"

    Sitting in her yard, Fiona pinched the corners of her clothes hard and looked at Lovi through gritted teeth: "You just watched those people carve up such a business? You didn't say anything from the beginning to the end?  "

    "No." Luo Wei shook his head.

    "Why!" Fiona said angrily: "I dared to leave at that time just because you were there. You As a member of the family, you should always strive for some benefits for the family!"

    "Miss Fiona." Lovi frowned, then sighed and said slowly, "Did you just ignore a question?"

    "What, what's the problem."

    Luo Wei said coldly: "If the family wants to reap benefits from this kind of thing, why give this northwest fortress to Darling Chen? Directly transfer 20,000 to 30,000 troops from within the family to guard here in place of the northwest army.  At the border, you can still sit on the ground and collect money."

    ""

    Fiona was suddenly stunned.  She had been filled with anger before, but now she calmed down and suddenly woke up after being slapped in the face by Luo Wei!

    yes!  Why should our Tulip family share such huge benefits with others?  If you want to monopolize it, just take the northwest fortress in your hands early

    "I have thought about it." Lovi said lightly: "Since the Duke has left this northwest fortress to the Darling Master, I think the benefits of trade have not been taken into consideration by the Duke for a long time, or even  From beginning to end. I never wanted this kind of benefit. So"

    Having said this, Lovi raised his eyelids and took a deep look at Fiona.

    Fiona immediately calmed down.

    The woman's eyes flashed, and she stood up immediately. She bowed down and saluted Luo Wei solemnly, and said solemnly: "I was so obsessed with interests that I lost my bearings! Mr. Luo Wei, I would like to thank you. If it weren't for you. I would  I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ve made a big mistake!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Du Weiwei stood in front of the mirror, looking forward to the mirror. She was wearing a luxurious ducal dress.

    And right in front of him, a painter was standing in front of the drawing board.  With a flying pen, a lifelike and beautiful duchess appears on the paper.  Gu Pansheng's posture still carries a faint air of majesty.  It can be considered an extremely extraordinary skill.

    Du Weiwei maintained a posture, but there was no hint of impatience on his face, and he smiled casually.  He said slowly: "So, that guy has solved the problem of military strength?"

    The person who answered Du Weiwei was a middle-aged man standing a few steps behind the painter.

    This man is wearing a snow-white robe, the texture is very luxurious, but it looks a bit elegant and otherworldly.  Although his appearance is ordinary, his eyes are shining and somewhat intelligent.

    This person was actually the nobleman who went to the imperial capital and planned to invade the palace to save people.  That is, the former steward of the Tulip family who brought Fiona back to the northwest to replace his own position.

    Hearing Du Weiwei's question, the noble man smiled softly and said, "His strategy is quite good. After I got the news, I was stunned for a moment.??I thought that he had mastered this ability of "making something out of nothing" so superbly.  An empty northwest fortress group has just drawn dozens of chambers of commerce into the situation.  Each of the more than thirty chambers of commerce that was created had a strength of three to four hundred soldiers at most, and a force of one hundred and eighty at least.  The Liszt family and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce provided more, and one family directly produced two thousand soldiers.

    ¡°As a result, Darling Chen immediately had no less than eight thousand troops.

    Adding in his own original manpower, it would not be difficult to gather 10,000 people.

    With ten thousand men in armor, they could barely defend the important areas of the northwest fortress group, and the defensive fences were erected.  "

    Du Weiwei sighed softly: "It's true that I underestimated him. Humph, didn't those chambers of commerce see his purpose?"

    "Of course I can see it." The middle-aged nobleman pursed his lips and smiled, and said calmly: "Those businessmen are not fools, so they can naturally see the key. Chen Daolin wants people, and they want money. It can be said that the two sides hit it off. It's just that they each get what they want.  It's just necessary. Chen Daolin did not hide his purpose from the beginning, but directly put it on the table. This alone is very courageous. He exposed his shortcomings and directly put the exchange of interests on the table, without being deceived or deceived.  , Don¡¯t cheat or rob, this is a conspiracy.¡±

    Du nodded slightly and suddenly smiled: "The idea is good, but these seven or eight thousand people really want to fight"

    "With the majestic city in hand, the defense is enough. Moreover, the orcs will not really attack with the whole country. To deal with ordinary harassing attacks, tens of thousands of people are enough. Besides, the bustling people are all for fame and fortune.  . This Darling Chen Yili used as bait to catch more than 30 chambers of commerce in the northwest. For the sake of profit, these people will form a group at least for a period of time. If someone wants to ruin their financial path. These 30 or so chambers of commerce  The power that comes from holding a group together should not be underestimated!"

    Du Wei thought for a while, and then at the painter's signal, she changed her posture. The servant next to her brought a long sword. She stood upright with both hands leaning on it, and then continued: "What a pity, sir, you gave me a long sword."  The person I recommended to succeed you is, after all, a little less qualified than you. She is at Darling Chen's place. She was almost fooled. You must have read Lowe's letter."

    The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Young man, it is not surprising that he is a little more anxious and worried about meritorious service. She is also doing it for the good of the family. After all, Miss Fiona, during those years in the imperial capital, was also  Things have gone smoothly. I haven¡¯t experienced too much of the brutal fighting, so I have lost some mental training. Come to think of it"

    Du smiled slightly and said, "I think she got it from being trained a few times at Darling Chen's place? Is that what you mean?"

    "Fiona is driven and enthusiastic. These are all good things. It's a little less settled, but that's okay. She also has Lovi by her side, who can remind her all the time. I'm very optimistic about Fiona.  Miss. Are you patient and steady? You will get it through experience, but that kind of drive and enthusiasm are really rare. For example, I feel that I am getting old. When I do things now, I gradually just think about nothing.  However, it is no longer suitable for a young hero like you to seek meritorious service."

    Du Weiwei heard this.  His expression became solemn, he turned his eyes, looked at the middle-aged man, and said seriously: "What you said really makes me ashamed. How can there be a lack of a wise man like you in the family? Without the help of a wise man like you, only  I'm afraid that I will cause a lot of trouble. If you say this, please don't mention it again in the future."

    The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Of course I will die for my family, and I will never spare my life. But Fiona, a girl, can still be used. I think she is very similar to a person."

    "Who does it look like?" Du's eyes moved slightly.

    The middle-aged man smiled softly: "When you first succeeded to the throne, you made a lot of mistakes, big and small. At that time, I had a headache all day long to clear away those first places for you."

    Du was slightly startled, then suddenly smiled and said, "You mean, Fiona looks like me?"

    "The drive and enthusiasm, as well as the eagerness to do things, are somewhat similar." The middle-aged man smiled.

    Du Weiwei seemed to think for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, you write a letter to Luo Wei and let him and Fiona stay at Darling Chen's place for a longer time. Darling Chen is like sharpening a knife.  Shi, I really want to see what kind of shape he can sharpen Fiona's knife. Even if Fiona suffers some losses from Darling Chen, it doesn't matter. Anyway, my family has a big business, so it will be a loss.  Come on. If you can develop a talent who can stand alone, it will be profitable."

    The middle-aged man bowed slightly: "You have such a big heart, it is really a blessing to the family."

    After a pause, he slowly said: "Then the northwest fortress"

      "Let him mess with it." Du Weiwei said calmly: "It was originally just a free move. It is good to have some effect. It is useless for the time being, so just leave it there and let him do whatever he wants. Our top priority right now is the west.  Those guys on the grassland"

    "They have a huge appetite." The middle-aged man smiled, but his smile was slightly mocking: "It's just that these guys never understand how much food they can eat from a big bowl. Now the prairie king wishes he could treat those over fifteen years old  All the men have been incorporated into his cavalry army, and the momentum has reached its peak. I heard that someone in the golden tent in the royal court has already shouted the slogan of destroying the Roland Empire and making the Prairie King the emperor."

    "Oh?" Du Weiwei was stunned: "I heard that three days ago, their slogans still reached Lengquan Pass?"

    "Yes, now their slogan has become to attack the imperial capital and drink from the Lancang River." The middle-aged man said seriously: "No matter who has hundreds of thousands of cavalry in hand, his tone will become louder.  "

    "Okay, okay." Du laughed slightly, stroking his hands and said, "I'm not afraid of their big appetite. The bigger the appetite, the better. I've already laid out this feast, but I don't know how many people will be seated this time!"

    Speaking of this, a murderous aura flashed through those wonderful eyes!
