For the so-called invitation to the business guild, the actual arrogance, Dane had no intention of paying attention to them at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In Dane's mind, the lord of Shawan Harbor was him, not these merchants. He didn't care what kind of tacit understanding existed between the merchants and the warlords who once controlled the port, and how he managed the city. He only knew that Shawan Harbor was now under his leadership, and he wanted to be a real lord, not a rogue black boss who collected protection money.

For the future development of Shawan Port, he has his own set of plans in mind, which of course is indispensable for the location of businessmen, after all, Shawan Port is a commercial city.

But there is no place for a commercial guild.

The current merchant guilds have too much influence on the city. In all aspects, in every industry, there are complete departments in the General Affairs Office, and it is useless for Dane to intervene.

This makes his desire for control very unsatisfied, and more importantly, he can only be a protection collector. And those who collect protection money, where can they be the masters of their own business and make money?

This merchant guild, Dane must be uprooted. After all, the management of the city still needs such a department to maintain, but the function of the General Affairs Office can only act as a management department at most in his future planning, and it is a management department that needs to exist under his own will, and it can no longer control everything in the city like it is now.

What exactly to do, Dane already had some ideas in his mind.

However, these ideas are not yet mature, and they need some opportunities.

He's not in a hurry, and it's okay to wait, as for what to do now...... He was going to hang the insatiable guys of the business guild for a while.

……

Goodale couldn't wait for Dane any longer, he didn't want to see Dane at the General Affairs Office of Shawan Harbor during the day, but that didn't mean he didn't want to see Dane - that was his biggest God of Wealth right now!

So, that night, he went directly to the door to ask for a visit, but was told that Dane had already led the army and set out on the journey back to Castle White Wolf before evening.

Goodall, who was in the air, was keenly aware that the situation seemed to have gone in a direction that was very unfavorable to the merchants. The arrogant merchant guild had apparently annoyed the newcomer, even the Governor's name.

……

Dane was in a hurry to return to White Wolf Castle, of course, for his reasons. His new batch of troops, who had already completed their recruitment a week or two ago, were training at various training bases in White Wolf Castle, waiting to continue to form an army.

This time, the troops he brought back were still the first and second wings.

The 1st Wing suffered a lot of losses in the battle of the Iron Nail Gang Corps. The two heavy infantry brigades were reduced to nearly two hundred people, and the white wolf cavalry also lost more than a hundred people, and as for the two light infantry brigades, they were directly defeated on the battlefield. Although some of the defeated soldiers were finally brought back, the number of soldiers who were killed in the middle or who had simply escaped and could not be found reached more than 300 people.

Looking at it this way, the losses of the 1st Wing have reached almost 40 percent, and they are almost disabled.

The second wing was much better, although it fought two blitzkrieg battles in a row, it could be regarded as a devastating defeat of the opponent, and did not fall into a cruel fierce battle, and the proportion of losses was controlled below 10 percent.

Such a loss, compared to the results of destroying the entire Marlon army and defeating the Gusha group under the governor of Conri, was of course a great victory. But the intermediate losses must also be made up as soon as possible.

What's more, Dane was not going to stop his further military build-up—otherwise, how could he be named the Governor?

Now, the building level of the White Wolf Cavalry Training Camp, the White Wolf Guard Training Camp, and the Pure Swordsman Training Camp in the White Wolf Castle has been upgraded to level four, and the speed and scale of training soldiers have been improved to a certain extent. Although the next batch of troops will not be in two months, at that time, the elite of the two or three newly trained brigades will be filled into the existing troops, which will not only be able to replenish the lost troops, but also allow him to completely replace all the miscellaneous soldiers in his two wings that represent his core combat strength.

The elite team, in the war, is really much better than the motley troops, and he is fed up with the light infantry that will hold back.

After this wave of military training is completed, he will immediately ban all the three existing light infantry brigades that are still in service. These light infantry can be thrown to Verina's garrison in one go. His regular army no longer needs this kind of dregs.

This pace of expansion actually put his finances under pressure.

The White Wolf Castle wants to expand three elite brigades, and the gold coins it will cost are almost 40,000 gold coins.

What's more, this is just a military expansion, and he needs to further develop the territory.

Constructing buildings, upgrading buildings, and issuing various administrative strategies also require a lot of resources to support it.

If the income of almost 20,000 gold coins per month is as it was three months ago, in addition to deducting the usual urban maintenance and military expenses, the funds that can be left in the pocket for continued economic development and military expansion are only more than 6,000. How is it possible to afford such a huge overhead?

It is up to Dane to fill the hole with his own inventory resources.

These inventory resources come from Morno, and from the legacy of Barber, the last mayor of Rotten Wolf Town.

But up to now, the resources of almost more than 100,000 gold coins have been consumed by more than half in the process of rapid development in three months.

This means that although Dane still has some money in his hands now, if he still wants to continue to maintain his rapid development momentum, if he does not find some other way out and only relies on existing resources, then he will soon touch the bottleneck of development, and he will stop because of this.

But fortunately, these three months Dane didn't just spend money. The gold coins invested in various buildings and various policies and regulations to promote economic development have also begun to play a role.

Among them, the largest are the two abandoned ore veins developed around the White Wolf Castle.

These two veins alone brought more than three thousand gold coins to Dane in a month. It's a pity that this vein is abandoned, even with the power of the system, it can only develop to this point at most, and its concentrated embodiment is that after Dane raised the building level of these two ore veins to level two, he could no longer go up, which has to be said to be a pity.
