Chapter 240: Arriving at Nagato
"You tm pit me、、、" Long Yuan, who grinned and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, didn't dare to make a loud noise now. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info smiled, and the fat on his face had been squeezed together, he waved his hand, trying to return the salute to everyone who greeted him, "Hehe, hehe, hehe," and the cracked mouth had to be forced to let out a kind laugh.
"Lord Longyuan, did you come back so soon this time?"
"Lord Longyuan, you're fat again!"
"Chiyotobuki-maru! Your brother is looking for you! "Chiyotoshimaru is the name of Takamoto's milk, and some whitebeards call their lords very casually, just like the taste of elders. Long Yuan couldn't be annoyed yet, nodding and waiting for these old men.
And the people who call him Lord Longyuan are some more serious middle-aged people or young people, Sancheng found that Longyuan's popularity here is quite high, basically except for some children, adults can recognize him. Those ignorant children also made due etiquette under the instructions of adults, and the bolder ones would secretly observe Long Yuan.
Long Yuan, who originally thought that he had landed in Qianhuang City, was dumbfounded as soon as he got off the boat, and turned around and actually returned to his hometown. However, under the premise of Sancheng's efforts to explain and admit his mistakes, Long Yuan could only silently accept the reality in front of him. The main thing is that his arms can't twist his thighs, and if he can win three percent, Long Yuan will definitely beat him up, and then jump on the boat to continue his path to freedom.
"I'm also good for you," the unashamed Sancheng patted Long Yuan's shoulder with a good buddy's posture, "Besides, this is also a solution to your personal problems once and for all, escaping can't solve the problem, you have to work hard to face 、、、、、、"
The other person doesn't want to talk to you and throws a Derubi at you. Since the birth of this Dai Ruby, it seems that it is Takagen who is its food, and the little guy who is good at exploring the world with his mouth will bite Takagen whenever he finds an opportunity, and Takamoto, who is resigned to his fate, will not want to reason with this Pokémon now, but just try to pull it off his body and throw it at Sansei.
"Don't bully small animals if you don't want to talk," caught Dai Ruby and placed it on his head, since raising Eevee, Sancheng's head has been idle for a long time, "I didn't expect you to be very popular in your own territory、、、、、、"
"If you've been walking around this place since you can walk, I'll make sure everyone here knows you." Not only here, but even in the most remote villages, there are few people who don't know their lord Long Yuan, "My father is a paranoid person, and he has taken us all over his territory since our brother was very young, and he often said that if you haven't even been to your own territory, how can you govern it well?" ”
"Territory? How is it possible for the Coalition to hand over all the administrative power to you? ”
Tubaozi Sancheng has never seen such a thing as an autonomous leader, and there is only one model of an autonomous region in the Celestial Empire, and it must be under the leadership of our party. But in the evil capitalist society, there is such a cancer, in the case of Citigroup, in the early years of the friendly white Indian tribes all have their own dominions, although they cannot collect taxes or enjoy administrative powers, they have privileges, such as legal casinos. It's a shame, let these tribes be fat one by one, so don't look down on the rednecks, they don't know how many times stronger than those Manhattan white-collar workers.
The same Ryumoto's family gave up part of their full strength, but the alliance also had corresponding compensation. For example, the mining of minerals, Takamoto's hometown is rich in iron, and in ancient times, the katana here was everyone's dream treasure. Of course, this is only a drop in the bucket, and there are many other privileges that their family enjoys, such as the supply of rare Pokémon, the low taxes that need to be paid to do business, and so on.
Then the alliance wants to control this area, and the staff other than the security force will also give priority to the selection of people recommended by the Longyuan family, so this area is actually still controlled by Longyuan and them. It is only that a large number of armed forces have been reduced, which no longer poses a threat to the alliance, and the stability, prosperity and development of the local area have been maintained in the form of cooperation.
"I see, that's the case、、、、、、" Looking at the residents who also greeted Long Yuan with a smile on their faces, Sancheng found that the people here not only had a high happiness index, but also admired Long Yuan very much, "Everyone seems to like you very much." ”
"This is also the credit of my father, they don't like us but the environment we bring、、、、、、" And in the northwest region governed by Long Yuan, in addition to mines and farmland, there is no economic animal husbandry such as milk and wool, so the regional GDP is also pitiful, which is also the main reason why the alliance allows them to govern themselves.
"The tax rate set by my father is the lowest in the urban capital area、、、、、、" In fact, the demands of people at the bottom of the society are quite simple, just to eat! As for who rules whom, it is out of reach for them, and if everyone can be fed, who will have the heart to rise up and resist. When the ruling class no longer exploits the people at the bottom, it is the beginning of prosperity. Therefore, many dynasties in the ancient Celestial Empire were prosperous at the beginning, but as time went by, the ruling class became more and more corrupt, and the exploitation of the bottom became more and more serious, which eventually led to the demise "My father often said that our family's property is enough to feed our Pokémon, and there is no need to increase everyone's burden、、、、、、"
A person who can restrain his desires should be praised by thirty percent, and such a person is truly of great wisdom. Presumably this situation is also planned by this wise man, Long Yuan's father played a big game of chess、、、、、、 and he ruled the peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky, even if they squeezed nothing, it was better to fatten them and let them enter the various stores they opened to consume, and make profits in the name of righteousness.
Along the way, there were few shops of all kinds that did not have a three-star logo, and the Longyuan family basically controlled the economic lifeblood of the region, and their rule was not only not weakened, but more stable than before.
From the port to the residential area of the city, Sancheng feels that the environment is 、、、、、、 quaint the more he walks, or more figuratively backward. Reinforced concrete buildings are gone, and traditional stone and timber buildings can be seen everywhere. Many shops don't even have a glass door, and the curtain of the door is opened in front of the shop and behind the house" Longyuan, why don't there seem to be any traces of modernity here、、、、、、 "If it weren't for the sporadic lights, Sancheng would even suspect that he had traveled back to ancient times."
"Infrastructure construction and urban development can only be decided by the alliance, if the alliance does not invest, we have no choice、、、、、、 "Sure enough, the struggle is everywhere, you take all the benefits, the alliance only collects a very meager agricultural tax, and of course it will not be wronged to invest a large amount of money to build "other people's" territory.
I'm afraid that the modern wharf in Nagato Castle is only the result of a compromise between the two sides, and the large number of stores in the Longyuan family needs stable purchase channels and a port with huge throughput. The alliance can collect a large amount of import and export taxes from this port, and the port is considered an independent small dynasty, and everything that has not yet left the port is up to the alliance.
"I see、、、、、、 "But what does this have to do with Sancheng? He just came to challenge the gym, and by the way, he reasoned with his good friend's family, "And where is the gym in Nagato Castle?" ”
"There, see, that hill" is a hill in the northernmost part of Nagato Castle, and the southern foot of the hill has been covered by a huge complex of buildings, that is, the earliest Nagato Castle, and strictly speaking, the place where Sansei is located can only be regarded as the castle town of Nagato Castle. If you look at the city from above, it looks like a huge funnel placed from north to south, and the thinnest part of the funnel is Nagato Castle, which is built against the mountain.
"Takakei's gym is in the castle tower." The castle tower is the core of the ancient castle, and it is the place where the lord lived and discussed important matters with his retainers, "Originally, Nagato Castle was a private domain, but with the development of the times, the role of the castle wall for defense became less and less, and it has also become a famous cultural landscape here in Nagato, except for the place where our family lives, ninety percent of the area is open to the public. ”
Presumably, the ticket revenue here is also yours、、、、、、
Just as Sancheng was considering whether to find a place to stay overnight or be cheeky and spend the night at Long Yuan's house, someone had already made a choice for him, and a long dragon with sparks was winding down from the very top of Changmen City, advancing in the direction of Sancheng and Long Yuan.
"Look, Longjing is here." Long Yuan, who has been accustomed to his brother's style, is very sure that this long dragon is Longjing's doing.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why did those ignorant girls call your brother His Royal Highness in Manjin City?"
"Hey," said Long Yuan and was depressed, "It's not because of the Pokémon movie, Long Jing was selected by the director because of his handsome appearance, and starred in a movie about how ancient humans and the legendary Pokémon worked together to restore peace in the city capital, and the filming place is here、、、、、、 Long Jing plays the prince, so everyone likes to call him His Royal Highness. This is also the reason why Longjing likes to move the crowd when he goes out now, and he seems to like this feeling of hugging each other.
Tut-tut, handsome, and rich, it is already humble to be called His Highness. If it was in the Celestial Empire, such a person would be directly called her husband by those girls.
"Hahaha, Brother Long Yuan, why did you come back on your own initiative this time. Farewell to Manjin, I thought that Brother Yuanchun would have to take action personally to bring you back、、、、、、"
Meeting is a bear hug, Long Yuan can only laugh wryly, just like a tiger's den, he can't help himself、、、、、、 he should always come to 、、、、、、 (to be continued.) )
