In the newly formed towns of Queensland and Connecticut, there are about 12 million cattle and about 2 million horses.

In order to completely control the two newly established feudal towns, Zhou Rui ordered to use the nine different time and space nodes leading to the beast world in the territory of Queensland Town and Kangzhou Town to expel 12 million Niu people and 2 million horse people back to the side of the beast world.

As for the more than 1 million fox people, cat people and rabbit people living in these two feudal towns, they can choose to stay in Queensland Town and Connecticut Town.

The fox people, the cat people and the rabbit people, except for the ears have the characteristics of returning to the ancients, there is actually no difference from humans, among the six major beast countries, the status of the fox people, the cat people and the rabbit people are very low, but they have a close relationship with humans.

Even among the human rebels, there are quite a few fox people, cat people, and rabbit people.

Of course, the fox people, cat people, and rabbit people who live in the territory of Queensland Town and Connecticut Town can also return to the Wild Bull Empire on the other side of the beast world from different time and space nodes.

However, the fox people, cat people, and rabbit people, basically no one is willing to leave Queensland Town and Connecticut Town and continue to be third-class citizens of the Barbarian Bull Empire.

As early as when the Zhou family established Jingzhou Town, Yuzhou Town, Lanzhou Town, Weizhou Town and Kezhou Town, Zhou Rui promised the fox tribe, the cat tribe and the rabbit tribe that the people of these three tribes would enjoy the same treatment as the human people in the territory of the Zhou family's feudal towns.

And the Zhou family is indeed as Zhou Rui promised, treating the fox clan, the cat clan and the rabbit clan without any discrimination, and even some of the fox people, cat people and rabbit people in the silver wolf column of the rebel army are now officers in the Zhou family's army, and the fox clan with the highest military rank is already a deputy division commander of the Lanzhou Army.

When the Zhou family army was expanded, hundreds of thousands of young men of the three tribes responded to the call of the Zhou family and joined the Jingzhou army, Yuzhou army, Lanzhou army, Weizhou army and Kezhou army.

Early in the morning of September 1, 1545, Zhou Rui, who was in a good mood, was having breakfast with Liu Yiqiu, Chu Yingying and several children.

The 1 Samsung lottery card given by the lottery system in September has been used by Zhou Rui.

What Zhou Rui didn't expect was that the rewards offered by this three-star lottery card were even comparable to a four-star lottery card, with a total of 7 rewards, including fighters, tanks and warships.

British Camel fighter (200 units)

Italian CA.36 bombers (200 units)

German Tiger Heavy Tanks (100 units)

British Hood-class battlecruisers (12 ships)

British Revenge-class battleships (12 ships)

American Colorado-class battleships (12 ships)

British Nelson-class battleships (12 ships)

Counting the newly opened 12 battle cruisers and 36 capital ships with full main guns, there are already 24 battle cruisers and 54 capital ships with full main guns in the lottery system at this time.

If a three-star lottery card given by Bai every month in the future can be so powerful, even if the Zhou family and the six beast countries start a shipbuilding competition at the same time, Zhou Rui will not be afraid at all.

It can be seen from the fact that the fifth, sixth, and eleventh formations successfully escorted the transport fleet to Xinying Port in Weizhou Town this time, and it can be seen that it is almost difficult for the combined fleet of the navy of the six countries to really cut off the sea passage between the eastern and western continents of the Zhou family.

Of the many capital ships being built by the six beast countries, none of them will be able to enter service for at least a year, but Zhou Rui can add a batch of capital ships to the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet almost every month.

In this way, the strength of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet will soon surpass the combined fleet of the six navies by a large margin.

"Husband, that Joanna of the fox clan has deposited a full 8,000 tons of gold in our Zhou Bank in the past two months." Liu Yiqiu said to Zhou Rui at the dinner table.

When Zhou Rui heard this, he couldn't help but show a look of shock, 8,000 tons of gold was equivalent to 1.6 billion silver coins.

Although Joanna's business in the territory of the Wild Bull Empire is booming, how could she have such a large fortune?

"How much is the total reserve of gold and silver in Zhou's Bank now?" Zhou Rui asked.

"Gold reserves exceed 260,000 tonnes and silver reserves exceed 480,000 tonnes."

Due to the fact that there were many gold and silver mines in the territory of the Zhou family's feudal towns, a lot of gold and silver were mined every month, and these gold and silver eventually entered the treasury of the Zhou Bank.

In addition, Zhou Rui will also withdraw the gold and silver bricks from the lottery system from time to time and deposit them into the treasury of Zhou's Bank, which makes Zhou's Bank have amazing gold and silver reserves.

It is precisely because of such amazing gold and silver reserves that Zhou's Bank dares to issue gold and silver bills unscrupulously, and now in the territory of Zhou's feudal towns, the gold and silver bills issued by Zhou's Bank have been completely equivalent to real money and silver.

This also made more merchants and ordinary people willing to exchange the gold and silver coins in their hands for the gold and silver bills of the Zhou Bank, so as to facilitate the carrying and preservation, so that the gold and silver reserves of the Zhou Bank reached the current scale.

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "Since people are willing to deposit, we have no reason to turn them away, even if that Joanna wants to deposit 80,000 tons of gold in Zhou's Bank, we will accept it." ”

Liu Yiqiu hesitated for a moment and said: "The reason why I mentioned that Joanna is because she deposited 8,000 tons of gold in Zhou's bank, as if she had another purpose.

Two days ago, Joanna personally came to the head office in Ganyang City, expressing her hope to negotiate a business with her husband. ”

"Business? What business? ”

Joanna didn't say anything.

Zhou Rui frowned, Joanna had helped the Zhou family a lot before, with the relationship between Joanna and the Zhou family, if you want to do business, you don't have to make such a big turn, Joanna can come directly to Zhou Rui to talk about business.

"Is Joanna still in Ganyang City?"

"Just stay in the Nine Star Hotel."

Now this most luxurious hotel in Ganyang City has become the private property of the Zhou family.

"I have time between 2 and 3 o'clock this afternoon, Yiqiu, you send someone to inform Joanna and ask her to come to the town guard mansion to see me in the afternoon.

I'm curious, what business does she want to talk to me about? ”

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of September 1, Joanna, a fox merchant, arrived at the southwest town guard mansion in Ganyang City on time.

In a meeting room in the town guard's mansion, Zhou Rui said to Joanna with a smile: "I heard from my wife that Ms. Joanna wants to talk to me about a business, but I don't know what kind of business it is?" ”

After Zhou Rui finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at a fox girl who was following Joanna.

To be honest, Zhou Rui's two wives are both stunning in the world, and Zhou Rui has experienced all kinds of beauties in another time and space, but when Zhou Rui saw the fox girl behind Joanna for the first time, he still felt a little shocked.

Closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, captivating the city and the country, peerless, the national color and fragrance, sinking fish and geese, these idioms to describe beauty are all placed on this fox girl.

If 100 points are used to score beauties, Zhou Rui even feels that this fox girl can get 99 points.

Joanna noticed Zhou Rui's small movements, and couldn't help but show a smile on her face, "Zhou Dashuai, this time I am here to talk to you about a big business on behalf of the Renaissance Foundation." ”

"Revival Foundation?" Zhou Rui's expression was a little surprised.

What the hell is the Revival Foundation? Zhou Rui had never heard this name before.

"Zhou Dashuai, the Revival Foundation was secretly established by some businessmen of the fox clan, the cat clan, and the rabbit clan, and is committed to improving the living environment of the fox clan, the cat clan, and the rabbit clan.

Since its establishment, the Revival Foundation has a history of about 400 years, and the current president of the Revival Foundation is my own brother.

It is not surprising that Zhou Dashuai has not heard of the Renaissance Foundation, our Renaissance Foundation has been hidden in the shadows, and even the six spirit nations may not know about the existence of the Renaissance Foundation. ”

Zhou Rui nodded slightly, "Then I don't know what business the Renaissance Foundation wants to do with me?" ”

"Zhou Dashuai, you must also know that our fox clan, cat clan and rabbit clan have always been exploited in the six spirit clan countries, and their status is similar to that of human beings, and even life cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, the fox clan, the cat clan and the rabbit clan always hope to break away from the six spirit clan countries and establish a country belonging to our three clans. ”

The reason why the status of the fox people, the cat people, and the rabbit people in the six beast countries is very low, and the appearance of the three tribes is only one aspect.

The main reason is that in the world of the elves, in the process of enslaving the beasts for nearly a thousand years, the foxes, cats and rabbits who look close to the elves have always acted as the dogs of the elves.

As a result, after the beast clans united to drive the elf clan out of the Spirit Clan, the fox clan, the cat clan and the rabbit clan were liquidated one after another, and they were reduced to the bottom of the six beast countries.

"Build a nation?" Zhou Rui's brows couldn't help frowning.

Zhou Rui has no prejudice against the fox clan, the cat clan and the rabbit clan, but he also doesn't have much affection.

Previously, Zhou Rui promised the three beast clans that they would enjoy the same treatment as the human people in the territory of the Zhou family's feudal towns, and more in the hope of tying these three clans to the Zhou family's chariot.

Besides, it is not an easy task to help the fox clan, the cat clan and the rabbit clan build a country, let alone build a new country, where does the land come from?

You can't give up a piece of the Zhou family's territory and give it to these three beast clans to build a country!

Joanna has been in business for many years, and her ability to observe words and emotions is definitely at the full level.

Seeing Zhou Rui's brows frowning slightly, Joanna hurriedly explained: "Zhou Dashuai, our fox clan, cat clan and rabbit clan in this world and the spirit clan world combined, should not exceed 50 million.

And not all the fox people, cat people and rabbit people are willing to join this country that has not yet been established, so the land area of the country belonging to our three tribes does not need to be too large, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers can be.

We at the Revival Foundation hope that Zhou Dashuai can help the fox tribe, the cat tribe and the rabbit tribe to establish such a country, and for this reason, we at the Revival Foundation are willing to pay Zhou Dashuai a generous reward. ”

Then Joanna took out a stack of Zhou's bank passbooks, "Zhou Dashuai, here are the deposit slips of 8,000 tons of gold, worth 1.6 billion silver coins."

If Zhou Dashuai is willing to do this business, the 8,000 tons of gold will be used as a deposit for you by the Renaissance Foundation.

After the matter is completed, the Renaissance Foundation is willing to pay Zhou Dashuai more gold according to the size of the country's land area! ”

"What does it mean to be in terms of the size of the country?"

Hearing Zhou Rui's inquiry, Joanna and the fox girl behind her couldn't help but light up in their eyes, it was obvious that Zhou Rui was interested in helping the fox clan, the cat clan and the rabbit clan establish a country, or was interested in a generous reward.

"Zhou Dashuai, as long as the land area you have prepared for the establishment of the Fox Clan, the Cat Clan and the Rabbit Clan reaches 200,000 square kilometers, the Renaissance Foundation is willing to give you 50,000 tons of gold or property equivalent to 50,000 tons of gold as a reward.

On the basis of 200,000 square kilometers, for every 10,000 square kilometers added, the amount of remuneration will increase by 3,000 tons of gold. ”

Zhou Rui didn't expect that one day, he would be knocked out by someone with money.

Even if Zhou Rui has always been known for his wealth, he can't ignore 50,000 tons of gold.

You must know that 50,000 tons of gold is equivalent to 10 billion silver coins, and with the cost of the all-main gun battleships currently being built by the six major shipyards of the Zhou family, 10 billion silver coins can almost build 400 full-main gun battleships with 380 mm main guns.

What's more, 50,000 tons of gold is only the starting price, if Zhou Rui can set aside 400,000 square kilometers of land for the fox clan, cat clan and rabbit clan to build a country, then Zhou Rui can also collect an additional 60,000 tons of gold or property equivalent to 60,000 tons of gold.

In the face of a fortune that rivals the country's wealth, it is absolutely false to say that Zhou Rui is not moved.

"Ms. Joanna, this is a matter of great importance, and I need to discuss it with others.

In addition, I don't know where your revival foundation wants to put the countries of the fox clan, the cat clan and the rabbit clan? ”

"Zhou Dashuai, we at the Renaissance Foundation hope to put the location of this country in the Eastern Continent.

In the Eastern Continent, with the protection of the Zhou family, the country established by the fox clan, the cat clan and the rabbit clan can survive. ”

After a pause, Joanna suddenly introduced to Zhou Rui: "The girl behind me is my niece Cleny, who is just 20 years old this year, and her father is the current president of the Revival Foundation.

In order to show the sincerity of our revival foundation, in addition to the deposit of 8,000 tons of gold, Kleney is willing to stay by Zhou Dashuai's side forever. ”

Three days later, in the back house of the Southwest Town Guard's Mansion, there was an extra stunning beauty of the fox clan.

Zhou Rui finally agreed to establish a country for the fox clan, the cat clan and the rabbit clan, but Zhou Rui did not agree to put the location of this country in the eastern continent, and prepared to set aside a piece of land for the fox clan, cat clan and rabbit clan in the western continent for the establishment of the country.

As for Cleny, the stunning beauty of the fox clan, although Zhou Rui was surprised by her beauty, he was not ready to take Clene to the back house at first.

However, after Liu Yiqiu learned about this, she directly took the idea for Zhou Rui and accepted Clene as Zhou Rui's concubine.

Of course, Liu Yiqiu did this, and she also had her calculations.
