The business concession is the order for the exercise of the maximum privilege of a businessman within the territory of the country.

As long as a caravan has a charter, it is protected by the liege, and if attacked, it is considered an attack on the territory.

Concessions are more common in the North, where the economy is in a downturn due to years of war, and business concessions are often issued in order to promote commercial trade and attract large merchants.

But in the South, where self-sufficiency does not value maritime trade, there are very few caravans with concessions. First, the countries of the South are free of war and relatively safe; The second is that the countries of the South are not overly reliant on business, and do not easily issue concessions that allow foreigners to have privileges.

So when Luo Lan proposed the "concession", Aiyiman sprayed directly.

"You're much more stupid than me, we don't have any ability to get Sophia to give us a charter, a caravan like mine, Sophia won't take a second look at it, okay?"

There are too many caravans in the North Plains Territory, which owns the East Bay, and it is difficult for those big merchants to even meet Sophia, and it is even more whimsical to ask for a charter, where can Ai Yiman get it.

Luo Lan wiped the rum that Ai Yiman sprayed on his face, and said calmly: "I think my sister will help me." ”

"Poof!" Ai Yiman sprayed again, Luo Lan dodged wittily, waved his hand and left: "You go to Phuket City to trade with the wine merchant, I will give you a letter before you leave, you take it and give it to Sophia." ”

"Are you really?" Ai Yiman was stunned, he didn't expect that Prince Luo Lan, who had always been calm and smart, suddenly had the temperament of a little boy, and said that his sister would help him.

"What a strange brother and sister." Ai Yiman muttered, and Luo Lan had already mounted his horse and rushed to the northern base.

This is a military base, as well as a military factory.

When Luo Lan came here, he found that Rick was running around here again.

Luo Lan smiled bitterly and called out to Rick: "I said Minister of Agriculture, you don't need to make wheat?" This year, with the waterway, the south will have to use wheat feed. ”

Rick saluted, then waved his hand nonchalantly, "I took Gulmis to help me with his work, he spends his days tinkering with bee coal, and he's very idle." I'm as busy as I am, I'm serious. ”

Are you still busy?

Luo Lan dismounted, shook his head and complained a few words, and then followed him to the racecourse.

Daisy is here.

The cute little Lori is experimenting with a new weapon, and there are many workers and rocket troops present.

That new weapon was a bamboo tube, more than two fingers wide and more than a meter long, with grooves for easy gripping.

Five soldiers, each holding a bamboo pipe, aimed the mouth of the pipe at a rudimentary target fifty meters away.

Luo Lan suppressed her joy and watched quietly.

"Please get started." Daisy looked at the soldiers solemnly.

Everyone present held their breath as the five soldiers lit the lead of the bamboo pipe with one hand.

After a while, only a few bangs were heard, and five bamboo pipes ** produced three thumb-sized cobblestones.

The cobblestone rushed towards the target at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and in the end, only one cobblestone hit the target, and the other two shots were missed.

Daisy sighed sullenly, and Luo Lan laughed heartily.

"It's amazing, you actually invented the assault rifle!" Luo Lan did not hesitate to praise that the assault rifle is a real individual weapon, the ancestor of modern rifles.

Daisy turned back in surprise, her face flushing in an instant. Luo Lan went over and picked her up, he knew Daisy wanted to hug.

The racecourse was full of laughter, and a lot of people were laughing.

Daisy was so ashamed that she couldn't see anyone, and struggled to get off the ground.

"Your Highness...... I haven't succeeded yet, I'll keep trying......" She said and ran to hide in the mine.

Luo Lan was amused in her heart, and called Rick and said: "Rick, tell Daisy that the bullets fired should be pointed, we have some iron, try to make some iron bullets, first use the clay kiln to melt the iron at high temperature, and then use a specific mold to make pointed bullets, the blacksmiths should understand what I mean." ”

The bullet Luo Lan said is naturally not a bullet in the modern sense, but a small iron bullet similar to an ancient arrowhead, as long as it can be made into an arrow, it is not difficult to make an iron bullet.

"Okay, that sounds good." Rick took the lead and immediately went to tinker.

Luo Lan wandered around the mining area for a while and found that there was nothing to do.

He suddenly realized that Phuket was really alive.

Everything is in order, he just needs to make decisions, and he doesn't have to run around like he used to.

Realizing this, Luo Lan's heart suddenly became comfortable, and now there is food, money, people, and trade.

Who would have thought that at this time last year, Phuket was still a rotten land.

Of course, Luo Lan knew that he couldn't be proud, because these achievements were very ordinary, at least in his eyes.

In a world without industrialization, many things just need to be done from "primitive" to "farming". For Phuket, the real difficulty is the development of industry and commerce, and everything now is just to pave the way for industry and commerce.

Thinking like this, Luo Lan rekindled his enthusiasm and hurried back to the city.

He went straight back to the palace and instructed Elle to prepare pen and paper.

Elle pouted and took the pen and paper, and then watched what Luo Lan was going to do.

Luo Lan picked up the pen to write, but paused for a while without writing a word.

Elle poked him: "What are you doing in a daze?" ”

Luo Lan rubbed her temples: "What should I call Sophia?" ”

Ellie blinked: "The Three Princesses? ”

Luo Lan hummed lightly, Ellie's smart eyes flashed, and she gave her opinion: "Do you miss her?" Then just say dear sister. ”

No, no, no, I don't miss it.

Luo Lan struggled for a while, and finally put pen to paper.

"To Sophia: It's been almost a year since I separated from you last fall, are you okay? I'm in a difficult situation right now, and I need your help urgently. I am willing to act as an intermediary to build a trade transit point between the North Plains Territory and the Nanshan Country, and resell the iron ore of the North Plains Territory to the Nanshan Country, with half a profit. ”

Luo Lan just wrote such a paragraph, and Ellie shook her head again and again: "You're too snobbish, aren't you?" Opening your mouth is gold coins and trade, the third princess is a girl, she must value family affection, you have to say more tender words. ”

Ellie's suggestion was still very reasonable, so Luo Lan began to write tender words.

"I remember when I was a child, you asked me what Phuket was for, and I said it was useless, but it was useful. You didn't understand at the time, so I said: If we are just in a corner of the country, it will be useless, and if we want to fight for hegemony on the mainland, it will be useful. ”

"The world is unpredictable, but now I am trapped in Phuket Island, destined to be in a corner of the world. If you still believe me, please give me another chance. ”

Luo Lan stopped writing, and Elle scratched her head: "What did you write?" Is this a tender word? ”

Luo Lan was silent, and finally added a line of words: "Last winter, the snow was so beautiful." ”
