We opened the third store next to the first store in the world, and then opened the second store in the world far away from them. The reason why we do this is because considering that the scale of the second in the world will be very large, and it will inevitably be noisy to let it be next to the first in the world.

After opening the shop, arranging the guys and the accountant, and leaving the skilled people in the underground hall to help clean things up, we went to Iron Valley together.

Seeing the Iron Valley from afar, we found that the Iron Valley was more prosperous than before. Now Tiegu has completely belonged to the majority of players, and many players who want to develop a deputy position have come here to borrow the sharp weapons and ironworks left by the Jiangshan League. But now, the siege is imminent, and all the blacksmiths and blast furnaces are temporarily requisitioned to make siege weapons. None of the players expressed any dissatisfaction with these, on the contrary, they also invested very hard in this great work, after all, they are not fools, they know that one day when the Jiangshan League exists, this place still belongs to the Jiangshan League, so they will not be able to build weapons here with peace of mind.

"Blue War, this will definitely become a weapon supply place for the entire game in the future." Looking at the busy Iron Valley, I couldn't help but say to Lan Zhan.

"I feel the same way, because of the terrain here, the quality of the metals smelted here will be better than other places, and the weapons forged from them will be better than other places. In line with the principle of proximity, this place will attract a lot of blacksmiths to concentrate here, and this will become the main production place of weapons and equipment in the future, and many players will come here to buy weapons. As it becomes more prosperous, it will also attract many other sub-jobs to develop here. In the future, it will develop infinitely and be very prosperous. "The Blue War is also convinced.

"If I were to choose a place in Jiangshan City and Tiegu, I would definitely choose here, and I don't know how Jiangshan Alliance would go to that place to build their city, and how would this place be stronger than that place. Ay! What a pity! I sighed heavily.

"Dragon, what are you sighing for! Even if the Jiangshan Alliance builds their Jiangshan City here, there is no development here, they occupy this place, those players will not buy their account, and there is no development here at all. Iron Valley ushered in its spring, all because you defeated the Jiangshan Alliance, made this place completely public, so that all players can come here to forge weapons, so that Iron Valley can prosper in the future. Liu Zi said to me with some admiration.

"Sister Liu, Long he is not sighing for Jiangshan League, but sighing for himself, he sees that Tiegu has such good development prospects, but he has no way to benefit from it, so he sighs." Or did the Blues know me and know what was going on in my mind.

"If only we could own the land of Iron Valley." I said with some reluctance.

"If you want the land here, after the fall of the Jiangshan Alliance, can't you just buy it from the system?" Liu Zi said.

"Then the dragon will become the public enemy of all players, and if the dragon buys this place, there will be no development here." Lan Zhan shook his head and said.

"I have a way to get a large piece of land without affecting the development of Iron Valley." Liu Zi was quiet for a long time, and suddenly said.

"What's it!" I asked in unison with Lan Zhan.

"After we defeat the Jiangshan Alliance, the land will be ours, and we can also take the opportunity to manage this Iron Valley, and apply to the system to make the Iron Valley completely public, and apply to the system to build the Iron Valley into a free city. After obtaining the approval of the system, as long as Iron Valley keeps more than 50,000 players here within a month after submitting the application, it will be automatically upgraded to a village. After becoming a village, there will be NPCs systematically farmed here to manage the land. When the place became a village, the system would tax those who bought and sold here. Liu Zi said.

"But in this case, we haven't gained anything yet!" I said.

"Dragon, I'm not done yet?" Liu Zi gave me a blank look and continued: "After this place is upgraded to a village, we will also get a share of the management rights of this place, and we can formulate a development plan for this place. In order to repay us for our stewardship here, the system will reward us with a piece of land here, and the area of this land will continue to grow in size with the development of the village. If we develop this Iron Valley into a huge city, then the land we get here will be very vast. Liu Zi said.

"Liu Zi, you are talking about this kind of operation, it is very interesting, if it succeeds, the return is also very large, but if there is really this method you said, why have you never seen others implement it?" Lan Zhan asked with some confusion.

"This method has been on the official introduction of the game Taimeng, and you didn't pay attention to it, so you didn't see it. As for saying that no one has ever implemented it, it is because it is conditional, first of all, the application fee for this kind of application is very huge, and the average person simply cannot afford to pay such a fee. Secondly, when we plan the future development plan of Tiegu, we must first estimate the financial income of Tiegu in the coming year, because the development fund we build Tiegu is 20% of the fiscal revenue in the next year. If the fiscal revenue of the year we plan is higher than we expected, then it is better to say, if it is less, then we will not have enough money when the plan continues, then we will have to fill the deficit ourselves. Of course, there are ways to backfill the deficit, but I don't remember the specifics, I just know that we can embezzle the financial revenue within three years to build that place. If there is no way to fill it, then you have to use your own money. In the end, the player has done so much here, but the return is only a piece of land, and that land cannot be chosen by themselves in the Iron Valley, but by the system, we work hard, bother and consume, and even use our own money to develop the Iron Valley, but we get some land that they have no way to choose, and they have not earned other benefits at all, such an investment is obviously a wedding dress for the system, who will do this? Liu Zi said.

"How much does the application cost?" Lan Zhan asked.

"It depends on how much you expect the land, for example, if you think it can only be developed into a small town, then you can only use the application fee for building a small town, and its price seems to be about 100 million, if you think it can develop into a super large city, then you have to use the application fee for building a megacity, and its price seems to be 10 billion."

"What about the land that was rewarded? Their area, too, is prescribed, isn't it? I asked.

Liu Zi nodded and said, "Different expectations for construction applications will get different returns, if we just expect Tiegu to develop into a village, then we can get one percent of the area of land in the size of Tiegu when it was a village." If Iron Valley continues to grow into a small town, we won't be able to get any land. To put it another way, our application for the development of the land is to get the upper limit of the land. ”

"It's like gambling!" Lan Zhan said.

"And it's a big gamble, but we can't bet once, our Heavenly Alliance, after defeating the Jiangshan Alliance, will be dissolved, and we have no way to get the ownership of this land!" I said.

"Dragon, if that's just the case, then you don't have to worry, because the system only recognizes one person in this application for the construction of Liberty City, that is, whose name you used when you apply, then, that person will be responsible for the end, even if the ownership of the land originally belonged to a certain group, after the person who has the right to dispose of the land submits an application to the system and is recognized by the system, the land will belong to the system. By full disposal rights, I mean land that is completely free of disputes, and land like Iron Valley is not available now. Not only can we not do it, but neither can the original owner of this land, Jiangshan League. We must wait until after the disintegration of the Jiangshan Alliance, and this land is our Heavenly Alliance's, so that we can have the complete right to dispose of the land in this Iron Valley. Liu Zi said.

"Lan Zhan, this big bet, I'm sure of it." After listening to Liu Zi's words, I said with some excitement.

"You can't leave me behind, so let's look at the appearance of this iron valley, traversing this Yunlong Mountain Range, and connecting the east and west directions, it is a very important trade transit war, and this place should be able to develop into a medium-sized city in the future." Let's divide it evenly, and I'll pay half of the money, in your name. Lan Zhan hurriedly said.

"There is no problem, there are good things, of course we have to share them with my brothers, under the management of our two brothers, after this, it will become very prosperous, we at that time, just sit and count the money." I laughed.

"I believe we have this ability, Sister Liu, you can show us some details these days, you can't make us happy!" Lan Zhan said.

"Brother Lan, the dragon is also going to invest so much money, I will watch it very seriously." Liu Zi nodded hurriedly.

"Sister Liu, do you mean to say that if it's just me investing, you're not serious?" The Blue Monster said with a smile.

"No, I didn't mean that." Liu Zi was trying to explain, and at this time, we saw Sister Hua come over to greet us with a few people.

"Sister Hua!" Liu Zi took the opportunity to run to Sister Hua.

"Commander-in-chief, you've come here to inspect the work! Come with us inside, I heard that you are coming, and the craftsmen are working very hard, and it will not be long before they have made several new siege weapons. In addition, after those templates were made, we also copied a lot of new siege weapons. And we don't have to worry about the lack of raw materials here, as long as we don't have enough something, we will immediately get it for us? Sister Hua said.

"Sister Hua, how many craftsmen are there here!" I asked.

"More than 50,000 people have registered with us, including more than 30,000 blacksmiths, more than 1,000 carpenters, more than 15,000 tailors, and a few other craftsmen. But we have more players here who don't register at all. They don't care what kind of reward they get, they just want to use their own hands to create more and better siege weapons for the siege players. Sister Hua said with some sighs.

"It seems that Jiangshan Alliance has offended too many people, which has led to so many players desperately opposing it. It seems that it is very dangerous for an alliance or team to bully the majority of players by its own force. On the contrary, if an alliance or team does more public welfare things, then they will respond to all calls and everything will go smoothly. Dragon, we will make money in the future, and at the same time, we should also think more about the majority of players. Lan Zhan said with a sigh,

"I will." I replied absentmindedly, Lan Zhan's words were, did he think we were the masters of the game? Or is it the emperor in the game? As long as I can make money, do public welfare things, and let those stunned young people who have too much sense of justice do it.

In the Iron Valley, under the leadership of Sister Hua, we walked around. Everywhere we went, cheers rang out, and finally we came to the center of the Iron Valley that Sister Hua said, an ironwork called Tomorrow's Star Studio. This studio is a place dedicated to creation, and the craftsmen in it are all of the highest level here, and they are also players with great creative passion.

We walked into this huge blacksmith workshop, where the craftsmen, groups of three or five were discussing, and we only got their kind nods when we came in, and more, they didn't even know that we were coming, they were already intoxicated by the world of creation.

"Everyone, please stop what you are doing, the leader of the alliance has something to say." Sister Hua clapped her hands and said.

The attentive craftsmen threw away their hands and looked at me with a look in their eyes that seemed to reproach me for interrupting them. I smiled at them and said, "Guys, I'm sorry to interrupt your work, I know you're trying your best to make weapons for our siege warriors, and you're trying to race against time. I am here to express my gratitude to you, and I ask you to take a minute or two to accept the tribute that our siege warriors have paid to you. ”

My words soon had the effect I wanted, and the craftsmen, no longer annoyed that I disturbed them, listened to my words, and they all showed proud expressions, and looked at me with a look full of approval.

"I'm here, and I see a lot of craftsmen like you working hard here, thinking about making more siege weapons as soon as possible. I also show them the respect that our warriors have for them. But I don't think you're working so hard here, and a single word of speech can't express the respect that our warriors have for you. In order to better honor you, I have an idea, I want to turn this place into a free city. I waved my hand downward, as if I had made some very important decision.

"Liberty City?" Many of the craftsmen didn't immediately understand the meaning of Liberty City, and they looked at me in confusion, so I explained to them what Liberty City meant. I said: "Under the opposition of so many of us, the time is running out, and after the defeat of the Jiangshan Alliance, our Heavenly Alliance will also be disbanded as agreed before, so that this will be a borderless land." You should know that the conditions here are very suitable for smelting and forging weapons and equipment, and the weapons and equipment that go out of here are also better than other places, and such an advantage will bring very high economic benefits to the teams and alliances that occupy it. In order not to let it fall into the hands of a certain team or alliance in the future, after defeating the Jiangshan Alliance, I will apply to the system to build this place into a free city that does not belong to any force. All craftsmen are free to come here to forge their own weapons and equipment, and they can also use the sharp weapons here. Moreover, you can also build your own blacksmith or other workshops here. Rest assured, when the time comes, even if none of you can afford to buy land, we will let the system build a large number of workshops for you to rent. And I can assure you here that the rent for the workshop will be very cheap. ”

I cleared my throat for a moment and continued, "And collecting everyone's rent is not to enrich my purse, but to use these funds to maintain the Iron Valley and rebuild it. In fact, after we applied to the system to build a free city here, all the taxes were controlled by the system, and my right in the future can only decide that 20% of it will be used for the construction of certain facilities in this free city. ”

My words have opened the discussion among the craftsmen below, they have already cast a lot of things here, of course they know that this place is very suitable for smelting and casting, if they can forge weapons and equipment here in the future, then, their forging skills can not only be improved quickly, but also, the things cast here can also be sold for a good price. So after hearing about my concept of Liberty City, where are they unmoved?

I watched with great satisfaction as the craftsmen whispered, they were all more advanced craftsmen, and they would understand what this iron valley would bring them in the future. In fact, I have repeated what I said many times, almost every time I enter an ironshop, I repeat it, and the effect I get is also very obvious, I estimate that the whole Iron Valley is now discussing this matter.

"Everyone, let this Iron Valley become a free city, whether it can succeed depends on you, as long as you create more siege weapons and more powerful, then, the more likely we are to defeat the Jiangshan Alliance, and then our free city can be realized." Finally, I concluded.

In any blacksmith, when I sold my Liberty City, my last words were the same one. And after this sentence is said, the effect is the same. Now the same is true of the blacksmith's workshop, which is full of the elite of craftsmen, who immediately devote themselves to the work here with greater enthusiasm, and of course, they still whisper about the Liberty City that I have proposed.

At that time, we didn't expect that my words would spread the concept of Liberty City, and even spread from this iron valley to the ears of many people, and thus attracted countless craftsmen to develop here. This also made the future development of Tiegu very rapid and smooth. Moreover, one of the biggest gains is that because of the construction of this iron valley, I have actually mastered countless excellent craftsmen, which will be of great help to us in the future.

For the next two days, we were wandering around the Iron Valley, and now that we have decided to invest heavily here, we must be very familiar with this place in order to be able to let go of some of them. And in the past two days, the craftsmen here have also made a lot of siege weapons.

On this day, Xunlong sent us a message and said: "Brother, come back quickly, this monster's siege will be over in less than half a day." ”

"Okay, let's go back right away." I agreed, and called Sister Hua and Liu Zi over at the same time.

"Sister Hua, Sister Liu, you immediately gather those siege weapons that have been built, and we will transport them to the battlefield immediately." I said to Sister Hua.

Sister Hua's movements were fast, and it didn't take long for them to assign those craftsmen to transport those things out. All the siege weapons were transported to a large square in the Iron Valley, and when we saw the mountain of siege weapons, we couldn't help but be surprised, we didn't expect that in just two or three days, they could make so many things.

In such a short period of time, the biggest contributor to the production of so many siege weapons in the Iron Valley is Sister Hua, who transplanted the modern assembly line production here. They completely disassembled each huge siege weapon into countless small parts, and then produced them in the detachment. If this is not the case, it is estimated that Tiegu will not even be able to make a siege weapon.

We immediately counted the siege weapons, including 2,000 giant catapults, 4,000 giant heavy crossbows, 5,000 ladders, 20 oversized crashes, and many other smaller siege tools.

We immediately loaded them into trucks, and then sent heavy troops to protect the efforts of these craftsmen, and rushed towards Jiangshan City.

"Sister, how are these monsters attacking the city these days?" Back outside Jiangshan City, I asked Xunlongdao.

"Since you left, this monster has behaved very strangely, they have adopted a strong attack method, but they don't pay attention to tactics at all, and the matching between the classes is no longer exquisite, they rush to the city of the rivers and mountains. This is almost like suicide, but there are so many of them that it will take a lot of trouble for the people of the Jiangshan Alliance to kill them. Xunlong shook his head and said.
