Chapter 43: The Establishment of the Rainland
Chapter 43: The Establishment of the Rainland
A few days later, Crocodall and his party had left Juba and, through connections, found an unknown small oasis. It is estimated that in recent years, due to the abundance of rain or groundwater, a small oasis has recently formed.
Looking at the low-lying land in front of him, which just looked like an oasis, Klockdahl nodded in satisfaction. Although it is nowhere near as big as Juba, the environment can definitely develop into a small oasis.
First of all, this oasis is developed on the basis of a small river and a large pond. Moreover, looking at the topography of this low-lying land, it is definitely able to gather a considerable amount of rainwater, which meets the conditions for the further expansion of the oasis. The most important thing is that it is temporarily unoccupied, and no corresponding city has been established. Of course, there are also traces of people here, and it is estimated that it will not be long before a small gathering place will be formed. However, since it was discovered by Klockdahl, then this will not be allowed to happen.
And Klockdahl will use it as a base to develop a city with gray trades. And, according to the map, if a city can be established here, it will connect all the major cities of Alabastan. Crucially, it's closer to the port. It is believed that if there is a population agglomeration here, it will attract a large number of floating people and create a paradise of prosperous cities.
"Come to someone, use all relationships, no matter how much money it is, or what to exchange. Anyway, put this oasis under my name. Klockdahl said in a domineering tone. "Of course, if someone dares to open their mouths to us lions, then you don't have to give them face. Whatever you do, I just need the answer. There's no need to pretend to communicate with the black market leaders, remember that we are pirates, and we are the only ones who can threaten others, and there is absolutely no one else who can threaten us. ”
No one cared about the process, except that a few days later, Klockdahl finally got the contract for the oasis from a large Alabastani nobleman. Ironically, the deed is still stamped with the seal of Nafirutali Kobra, the 12th king of the Kingdom of Alabastan and the current king. It is estimated that this enlightened king could not have imagined that it was he who personally introduced the prehistoric giant crocodile Klockdahl into his family. And many years later, when he found out about this fact, he could only get angry at the big nobles under his hands who only knew how to scrape, and on the other hand, he silently covered up this stain.
Looking at the contract, Klockdahl smiled. After making a copy of the contents of the contract, his men will take the contract and drive out the inhabitants who do not obey Klockdal's rule. On the other hand, work began to establish the Jazz Rank of Klockdahl. Yes, through the relationship, Klockdahl's title of nobility recognized by the world government finally worked. Unlike the nobility of a country, this title of Klockdal is low, but it is common to the whole world. In comparison, it is equivalent to the gap between hereditary and non-hereditary, or even greater.
And borrowing this name, Klockdahl finally got this oasis justifiably. Of course, this is only on the surface, and there is not much to say about how many dirty gray deals there are in secret.
Klockdahl looked at this small oasis, although it was a small oasis, but it was not small. At least build a small town, absolutely fine. And with the development of Klockdahl's plan, if that thing really works, coupled with Klockdahl's ability transformation, it will definitely make this oasis expand even bigger.
The land is there, so how to make money and hoard resources has become a problem. Nonsense, pirates are a high-spending profession, raising such a large group of people, can't they do it? What are these people working for for you, not for a better life. If you can't even give these things, why are they following you? Do you have a chance to get ahead? Klockdahl doesn't think that it is his own king's anger that everyone will obey. Only the brain-dead think so, otherwise, why would the four emperors of the New World fight for turf? Why should the world government suppress the pirates to the death? It is not for the distribution of resources, if everyone has sufficient resources. There will be no revolutionary army, and the world will be in a mess. And the world government will not have to give up some of its benefits to the Seven Martial Seas and join forces against the Four Emperors of the New World.
So, here comes the problem. What is the most profitable thing in the world, of course, is printing money. But those bankers are not easy to mess with, which one is not the black market behind the big black market or simply the world government. Even Klockdahl had previously supported a few small bankers, but unfortunately failed. However, it also let Klockdahl know how deep the water is, and even the current Klockdahl is not able to say that he can intervene in it. Besides, now that Klockdahl's territory is here, he can't reach it and can't intervene. So, the first one was PASSED.
Then next, there are some illegal industries that are profitable, but Klockdahl has a legal license (the benefit of His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas), but it would be foolish to let Klockdahl still blatantly do it. That's right, in fact, after becoming the Seven Martial Seas, there really isn't a single Seven Martial Seas (except for Moonlight Moria who is still doing that in the Devil's Sea) who is still stupid and only does robbery. There are usually other industries involved, the most typical being the auction industry of the Flamingo, and even Hawkeye only sees the hunt of pirates as a rival, rather than a bounty hunter for money.
Klockdahl is not that stupid, although he can't do it openly, but it doesn't mean that Klockdahl will give up these gains. You can't make a move, but you can secretly support some forces to do these stolen things! But after all, it is not in line with the role of Wei Guangzheng as a "national hero" that he wants to create in the plan. Therefore, it can only be done in secret, and this seemingly good path actually has all kinds of limitations.
Next, the next thing is a lucrative pornography, gambling and drug industry. is also a gray industry, compared with the above two, there is definitely a lot of resources to raise. After thinking about it, Klockdahl decisively gave up Huang and Poison, the former being Klockdahl's disdain for those traffickers and making money from women. The latter, on the other hand, is pure dislike, and Klocodahl doesn't want to be a big drug lord or something. And, if you want to build it into the dream city of Alabastan. Then choosing the gambling industry is definitely a very good choice, and then get a few examples of getting rich overnight. Don't be afraid of those people frantically squeezing into here, and the high consumption here will definitely make their wallets empty.
It was decided, looking at the pond in the middle of the oasis, that Klokdal decided to build a gambling paradise on the water based on this natural reservoir. Well, it's called "Rain Feast", which means that this is the only place where the most precious water in the desert can be found, and it also symbolizes that this is the paradise of the kingdom.
Then this city is called "Rain Land", and it won't be long before I let you know why Rain Land is called Rain Land. "Pathetic Juba, are you ready to kneel and beg me?" Crocokdal laughed uncontrollably, "Unfortunately, there is no justice for the weak!"
It was also from such a day that the name of the rain land, with the deliberate management of Klockdahl, began to spread throughout Alabastan.
