Chapter 113: To Ashwood
The main purpose of Lei Laohu's return to the City of Rebirth is to hand over the architectural drawings of the class in his hand to Rodhart, originally he was worried that there was no builder in the City of Rebirth, but now it seems that his worries are superfluous, because there are still so many NPC architects in the City of Rebirth, and the level is not low, by the way, he also has the meaning of bringing Ken Lohag back to recognize the way.
Considering the lack of troops in the city of rebirth, except for a royal griffin and a ghost to use for transportation, Thunder Tiger left all his troops, including the mummy and other troops, he did not take any of them.
Even the ghost he took away was not the one he recruited in the dungeon, but after Thunder Tiger took the time to kill a player of the Iron Blood Guild who came here to trade alone, and commanded the ghost to destroy all of the player's troops, he used the ghost's anti-heaven nature.
Since this player doesn't have many troops, only 1 squad, Lei Lao only got 1 squad of ghosts, and even the 1 squad of ghosts he just got were all left by him.
In fact, when he came back this time, Lei Laohu still had a lot of emotion in his heart, and he had asked himself more than once, if he was in such a situation, could he develop the Reborn City so well? Can it grow so fast?
After countless inquiries, he couldn't get a positive answer, maybe he could use his prescient advantage to do it, but what if he didn't have this advantage? He felt that he couldn't do it, which made him often lament his wise decision to appoint Rodhart to take charge of the City of Rebirth, which was the right one.
Before leaving, he instructed Rodhart to build the city of rebirth according to his own ideas, without too much pressure, and told the other party that he supported any decision made by the other party, and even decided all the affairs of the city of rebirth without his own consent, that is to say, from this moment on, Lei Tiger completely handed over the management of the city of rebirth to Rodhart.
This was a decision that Lei Laohu had made after thinking about it again and again, because he believed that the City of Rebirth would definitely be stronger than himself under the management of Rodhart, so he made the decision to delegate power.
Since he is not good at this aspect of affairs, and he does not have so much energy to manage this matter, it is better to let his subordinates do it, especially when the ability of his subordinates is still very strong, why should he do too much?
Rodhart was deeply moved by Thunder Tiger's move to release power, and vowed that the next time Thunder Tiger returned, he would see a new Reborn City, a more prosperous and majestic Reborn City than it is now.
In this regard, Lei Laohu was also noncommittal, he didn't say anything, because the City of Rebirth only needs to continue to develop according to the current route, and it won't take too long to reach the point that Rodhart said, so he didn't care too much about it.
After saying goodbye to Rodhart, Lei Laohu found Bergkamp in the Tianji Market, who he had appointed as the vice president of the Tianji Chamber of Commerce.
He told the other party the general situation of Huaxia City, and instructed Bergkamp to send someone to take over the 200 shops there as soon as possible, as for how to operate and what business to operate, it is Bergkamp's own business, and he does not plan to participate too much in this.
After all, all the merchants of the Rebirth City joined the Heavenly Machine Chamber of Commerce when they joined the Rebirth City, and signed a cooperation agreement with Thunder Tiger, and it was precisely because of the existence of these things that Thunder Tiger was still very relieved of them.
As soon as Bergkamp heard Lei Lao Hu talk about the geographical location there, his eyes lit up, and he looked like he wanted to rush over now, after all, he was the highest-ranking merchant in the Reborn City except for Lei Laohu, as a senior businessman, his vision was still good, and he had even clearly seen the future prosperity of Huaxia City.
Of course, there is a certain danger in opening a shop in Huaxia City, but when is it safe for merchants to run around? So these dangers were basically ignored by him, and he also believed that Lei Laohu would find a way to protect the safety of himself and others.
As for Ken Lohage, he has long been gone, and Lei Lao Tiger doesn't bother to care about him, after all, a hero like Ken Lohag, if he is allowed to stay in one place all the time, he will definitely not be able to sit still, so Lei Lao Hu does not force him, only requires him to do what he is instructed after receiving his news, and Ken Lohag does not have too much resistance to this.
After explaining everything, Thunder Tiger took a ghost and rode the royal griffin on the highway towards Ashwood, which was also known as the commercial capital.
Because he suddenly thought that after he subdued Kenlohag, he would definitely have some hatred with the merchants of Ashwood, although the system did not prompt, but according to the balance rules of the game, he had to at least go and explain, otherwise this may not be a big hatred, it will accumulate more and more over time, until it cannot be resolved, and it is even likely that the current situation between Bailey City and Reborn City will appear, which he does not want to see.
Of course, he also had a cooperative purpose on his trip, and if possible, he hoped to establish some trade relations with Ashwood.
…………………………
Although Ashwood and Bailey, the two cities known as the two commercial pearls of the Templars, both have a reputation as commercial capitals, their development history and overall strength are very different.
Bailey was originally just a camp for merchants to settle down and rest, but over time, the merchants developed a little affection for the place, and the merchants relied on their strong influence to petition the Alliance, so that the camp eventually became a city.
And at the beginning of the city's establishment, a large number of merchants settled in, so Bailey City received the title of commercial capital.
In addition, this is a city built entirely on the large sums of money spent by merchants, and this city has no history to speak of, and even this place is only merchants except merchants, so Bailey City is also named because it is a city built entirely on money.
As for Ashwood, the city has a very long history, and at first it was not called Ashwood, but Ore Town.
As the name suggests, the main reason why the Alliance built this city is to collect the rich ore resources in this place nearby to meet the needs of the Alliance's development, but there will be a time when resources will be exhausted.
The Coalition's unbridled demands led to the eventual depletion of resources, and since then, no one has been able to get any resources from this place, and it is only then that the Alliance realizes its mistake and regrets it too late.
Due to the geographical location of Ore Town is not very good, and the environment has been greatly damaged due to excessive logging, the land here can no longer grow ordinary food, which also leads to the fact that Ore Town not only cannot create value for the Alliance, but requires the Alliance to spend a lot of money to feed the residents here, which is contrary to the original intention of the Alliance to build Ore Town.
After discussion, the alliance finally decided to abolish Ore Town and completely abandon the city, but at the last moment, there were some unexpected circumstances, for unknown reasons, the Alliance finally did not abandon Ore Town, but gave this place to a down-and-out nobleman, a marquis named Ashwood.
When the hapless Marquis came to Ore Town, he found that almost all of its residents could make some household items or some strange knick-knacks with their own hands, so the Marquis of Ashwood, who had been a merchant, saw a business opportunity, so under his leadership, Ore Town began to develop its manufacturing industry.
The things made here were popular not only with the nobility within the Alliance, but also outside the Alliance, and with the popularity of these things, a large number of shrewd merchants came to the place, started business, and made a fortune as a result.
Over time, more and more merchants gathered here, giving Ore Town a reputation as a commercial capital.
In order to commemorate the marquis who led them out of the predicament, after the death of the marquis, they renamed the ore town Ashwood, not only that, but each city lord of Ashwood must be a direct descendant of the Ashwood family, otherwise it will not be recognized by the locals, so the city lord of Ashwood is also called Ashwood, and can only be called Ashwood.
Even in Ashwood there is only one chamber of commerce, the Ashwood Chamber of Commerce, so the merchants here are known as the merchants of Ashwood.
Recalling the history of Ashwood in his mind, Lei Lao Hu found that Rodhart's approach to the development of the reborn city seemed to borrow from Ashwood to a certain extent, using manufacturing to promote the development of the entire city's economy.
It's just that the current Reborn City has a large number of players entering the game, coupled with the fact that the Reborn City itself has certain resource points, and the surrounding environment has not been damaged too much, and the production of extraordinary crops is much better than the original Ashwood, so the development speed of the Reborn City will be so fast.
Thinking of this, Lei Laohu suddenly felt that a large number of merchants in Bailey City had left, and it was not surprising, because Bailey City only occupied a geographical advantage to a certain extent, and its development depended on the support of merchants, and it did not develop other things to provide merchants with goods to buy and sell, so the merchants chose to leave after realizing that Bailey City could not bring them enough benefits.
It's no wonder that Ashwood can prosper forever, but Bailey City is just a flash in the pan, in the previous life, it seems that after 1 or 2 years after the game, Bailey City was completely abandoned by the Alliance.
The reason why Lei Lao Hu remembered this was because Bailey City had a city building order after it was abandoned, although at that time the large guilds already had their own cities, but who would dislike that they had few cities?
Therefore, the appearance of this city-building order also triggered a big war in Huaxia District, but no one expected that this city-building order was actually withdrawn by the alliance, and it also made all the guild forces involved in this competition suffer a dumb loss......
