The Free Business Alliance, which was founded by Grand Lead, has become a behemoth.

Members are spread across several kingdoms such as Volis, Iron Castle, Chulin, and Arianor, with a total of more than 300 members.

Among these member territories, the average development rate is relatively fast, or the economic circle with the Grand Territory as the center, radiating to more than a dozen surrounding territories, has become the most prosperous core area in the Free Business Alliance, and the dozens of industrial chains in these territories have generated economic benefits of more than millions of gold coins every year.

Nathan Collar produces a lot of grain, and there are a lot of shallow coal resources buried underground, so the development of grain processing and coal mining industry, such as a kind of Nathan Collar's specialty baguette (soft taste, shelf-stable), in the entire free business alliance, very popular, plus the increasing demand for coal, Baron Sean's territory annual income, more than 100,000 gold coins.

There are many highlands in the Youken Territory, rich in cattle and sheep and a special nut, the eastern hills of the Youken Territory, there is a medium-sized silver mine with reserves of more than 1,000 tons, so the development of canned food processing, nut snacks and silver mining industry, the special cattle and sheep canned cattle and nut snacks of the Youken Territory, are in short supply every year, plus the production of silver mines, the annual income of Baron Howard's territory is more than 150,000 gold coins.

Paton Collar perennial cold, only a small number of alpine horses produce, but also play the territory of dense forests, many prey advantages, the development of logging and fur processing industry, and a depression in the west of Paton Collar, there is a reserve of more than one billion tons of clay mines, through the guidance of the masters, the development of the ceramic industry, fired out of the "Paton porcelain", quickly swept all the upper echelons of the kingdom, so that the original considerable benefits of the logging and fur processing industry in the Paton Collar soon became a chicken rib industry that occupies manpower...... Baron Romong's annual income in the territory exceeded 300,000 gold coins, and the original shabby and poor Baron Romon became a super-rich man among the "Northern Yankees".

There are also the northern territories around the Paton Territory, which have also given full play to their own resource advantages, some are engaged in forest mining and fur processing, some choose mineral development with greater profit margins, and some are close to the ice fields of the Far Northern Territory, although there are a large number of mineral deposits underground that cannot be mined (frozen soil, small population, a year and six months of ice age), after finding that it is very profitable to capture savages and sell them to the southern mines, those savage tribes are unlucky, they don't recruit anyone and don't mess with anyone, they sit at home and are caught in nests...... The sinful slave trade began on the heads of these poor savages.

In the core of the free business alliance, the Grand Collar is the land of countless adventurers and gold diggers who dream of "every inch of land and every inch of gold", which is the furniture manufacturing, clothing production, paper industry, agricultural machinery, cement lime, steel and other more than ten industries, in the past few years, mushrooms have sprung up, and in the short term quickly formed a large-scale effect, each workshop produced furniture, fur clothing, paper, advanced agricultural machinery, cement lime, Iron and other products are the first choice of the members and lords of the business alliance every year, accounting for the vast majority of the market share of these goods.

In less than four years, Zhou Ming, who took at least ten years to develop into such a situation in his previous life, really realized that unlike those farmers who are careful to live and have active saving habits, the lords in this world who hold more than 90% of the surplus resources of a territory will burst into economic vitality once their potential consumption power is stimulated, which is unimaginable.

In particular, after enjoying the infinite convenience brought by the developed commodity economy, the probability of completely getting rid of this convenience is almost zero.

Of course, the development of the Free Business Alliance, these years have not been smooth sailing, in recent years to join more than 200 member territories, there are also more than a dozen or forcibly levy tolls, or directly confiscate goods from other territories, or arbitrarily tax the traveling merchants and other territories that do not abide by the rules of the business alliance...... Under all kinds of miserable punishment measures, these territories have to obediently admit their mistakes, compensate for losses, and ensure that they will never be repeated.

When he was told by Zhou Ming that there was a huge gold mine in the territory of Peter, he didn't want to join the Free Business Alliance, but in order to know the specific location of the gold mine, he joined the Business Alliance in a hurry.

Later, according to Zhou Ming's instructions, Baron Garcia, who successfully dug up the gold mine, had an annual income of 100,000 gold coins and did not worry about eating and drinking, and his idea actually hit the various lord caravans that passed by a large number of Peters every day.

Zhou Ming sent people to persuade, warn, and seriously warn three times, but he still did not change his ways, seeing that its nature was so bad, the court of the Chamber of Commerce passed a show of hands vote and issued a comprehensive blockade order: that is, all members leading caravans to stop passing through the Peteran Territory, the surrounding territories are prohibited from providing all goods to the Peteran Territory, and all traveling merchants who want to enter the Peterlot Consular Merchant will be levied a huge commercial tax of up to 80%.

After all kinds of sanctions, only two or three months were enforced, Baron Garcia found that there was no caravan passing through his territory in the originally very lively Berdoll, and there were few traveling merchants, and the first thing in the territory was facing a shortage of salt, and the price began to rise wildly, and then the soft Nathan collar baguette, the delicious Joccan collar, the beloved Paton porcelain, and the exquisite furniture of the Glanner, the fashionable leather coat, the soft paper for wiping the buttocks, and the convenient and easy-to-use agricultural tools and ironware...... You can't buy any of these things.

Even, when he saw the bulletin board of the business alliance business station in the Berdeaux territory, which was supposed to update the announcement information once a week, for more than two consecutive months, there was no information released, Baron Garcia's heart began to panic a little, and a fear of being on an isolated island in the world occupied his heart.

Especially when he asked his servants, with thousands of gold coins, to go to the surrounding territories or farther territories to buy some necessities of life, they all returned empty-handed—under the strict blockade of the surrounding territories, not to mention those goods of the merchant alliance that he could not leave for a long time, even if it was the cheapest apple, he could not buy it.

"Peterin is willing to accept all the punishments judged by the Merchant League's Tribunal, and is willing to compensate twice as much for the losses of the transit caravan, and to make deep reflection and apologies for violating the rules of the Merchant League! I promise that I will not make similar mistakes again in the future, and I also ask the Merchant League Tribunal to cancel all the sanctions and give Berdoling a chance to correct his mistakes......

In this way, Baron Garcia, who had never surrendered and compromised on the battlefield once, and had never apologized once in his life for the mistakes he had made, was willing to be beaten and punished, and became a negative example of teaching all members of the Free Business Alliance to obey the rules.

But it is precisely because of this that the Grand Territory Free Business Alliance, which has expanded wildly and expanded its sphere of influence in recent years, has developed into a "number one target" that has to be suppressed and contained in the eyes of some high-level forces.
