Chapter 308: The more dazzling, the more dazzling
Juan's arrival paved the last shortcoming of the governance of the Plains State, and the Plains State finally followed its established track and moved towards the path of rapid development.
Now Nuo Yi is very uncomfortable, the development of Plains State and the expansion of the mecha force will take him a lot of time, and the identity of the commander of the ninth company of the Devil's Claw Mountain Border Guard of the Federation is more like a shackle, although the help of Losov can often be loosened, but it is always very inconvenient.
Now this is not the most troublesome thing, the more troublesome thing is that the plain state has been developing on such a large scale for several months, and it has finally begun to attract enough attention from all parties.
The first thing that attracted attention was the heavy haul railway built by the Southern Rapid Transit Company in the Grand Duchy of Downton, although the distance is very short, but after all, it is a rail transit, jokes are jokes, and those who should pay attention will definitely pay attention, you know, the rails can allow heavy weapons to move quickly, including mechas.
The Grand Duchy of Downton is located in the wasteland between Zhennanguan and Billy, and almost no one wants to invest in it except for the previous road, which was slightly valuable, so the preliminary work of buying land for the construction of this railway is very convenient.
Now that it's been repaired, it's naturally attracting more attention, and everyone wants to see if the railway is a joke or a vision.
Surprisingly, the railway was very busy! To the surprise of many investors in the Grand Duchy of Downton and the Kingdom of Belgium, the imaginary scene of ten cars and nine empty cars did not appear at all.
At the same time, what makes the Blue Eye family a little jealous is that when the White Ou family bought the logistics companies from Hope Port to the north before, the Blue Eye family did not intervene in any way, and even sold several such logistics companies.
I never thought that in less than a year, as soon as the railway was opened, the freight volume on this line increased sharply, and the logistics of the north-south line suddenly became very profitable.
So the blue-eyed family is also very unhappy, how can this white gull family always have such good luck? What made the southern countries even more agitated and excited was that it seemed that a large number of federal goods had circulated from this railway, many of which were branded as Flying Star State, what does this mean?
If goods can go to the Federation through the plains, then there is no need to go from the southernmost port to the southernmost coastline of the South China Sea State, and then to the Flying Star State, and then radiate to the interior of the Federation.
It's just that the freight seems to be a bit expensive now, and the price is a little higher than that of sea freight, but it is far better than going to the Federation by land around the crater of the Devil's Claw Plains.
If it weren't for the opening of the line now, everyone would not have the bottom in their hearts, but they were afraid that many merchants would have to hand over the materials to this company called the Southern MRT.
The Southern Rapid Transit Company also released a message that railroad tracks were still being built in the interior of the Plains, and that these supplies could be delivered to the Federation and the Empire faster and cheaper in the future.
This, if it comes true, how can these profit-chasing capitals in the southern countries sit still?!
Immediately after that, an even heavier bomb was dropped, and the Plains State allowed companies from the southern states, including federal and imperial companies, to go to the Plains states to invest, build warehouses and freight stations, and allow capital to visit the Plains states.
This time it is even more fryer, if the legendary plain artery railroad track is really built, and the warehouse is established in the key node of the railway, Zhennanguan, Yunzang excellent location, what a big advantage it will be?
The importance of logistics and warehousing has a huge attraction for many enterprises. Because the southern countries, the manufacturing capacity is relatively weak, but they are relatively wealthy, and they are also a huge product market of the Federation, many of which import a variety of goods from the Federation, such as the best household appliances, are from the Federation, these import and export trading companies, the demand for rail and warehousing, is extremely hungry.
Soon, housing prices in Zhennanguan began to soar. Juan made a lot of money just by selling land, and the best warehouses, hotels and restaurants around Zhennanguan Station were also covered by the Southern MRT, which was also arranged by Juan early in the morning.
A thriving plain, of course, will attract the attention of all parties, and the more dazzling it is, the more dazzling it will be. The first to come looking for trouble was the Empire.
The node of the communication between the empire and the plains is Feiyun Pass, and of course the plains state has developed a city similar to Devil's Claw Town near Feiyun Pass, called Yunxiang, which takes the empire to say goodbye to the past.
Ping Yuan was originally a mixed place of three religions and nine streams, and the news of development was naturally impossible to hide, although Barry, Yun Wuxian and the others had tried their best to delay this time.
After Yun Wuxian gave up the position of the cloud lord, he turned into the shadows and was responsible for the espionage and security work of the Plains State, of course, there was no more suitable person than him, and Yun Wuxian was the black rope of the Plains State.
The guard of Feiyun Pass is called Black Wind Sky Shadow, which happens to be a branch of the Sky Shadow family, and the Federation is not the same, although Feiyun Pass is the same as the Devil's Claw Mountain Pass, it is the stronghold of the two great powers in the Devil's Claw Plain, but Feiyun Pass is not a place of exile by default like the Devil's Claw Mountain Pass, although it is also remote and barren, but it is a normal administrative town, belonging to the Empire's Jiannan Province.
This Black Wind Sky Shadow seems to have some special preferences for money, and with the support of the Sky Shadow family behind him, in this small border city, as long as he doesn't do anything particularly outrageous, the officials of the Sword South Province will not care about him.
In a border city like Feiyunguan, where the military is strong and the people are weak, Heifeng can almost be said to have been completely captured by the military and the government. Soon, Yun Er, who was stationed in Yunxiang, received news from the middleman that Hei Feng felt that the flow of goods transported by Feiyun Pass had increased, and it was necessary to increase the tariff on Feiyun Pass.
Of course, Yun Er can't make decisions about such things, and immediately reports to Barry, Yun Wuji, and Juan. Yunzang, Pingyuan State Government.
"Lao Ba, can you agree to this condition?" Yun Wuxian asked. Barry didn't answer, but looked at Juan and said, "Juan, have you counted?" How much profit is there if you say yes? Juan frowned slightly: "Forget it, Black Wind will raise the tariff by ten points, so that our profit will only be five points, and it will be much better if the railroad track is completed." Barry nodded: "In this case, it's not that this condition can't be agreed, but there is really nothing to do over there." Yun Wuxian thought for a moment and asked, "Then can you not agree?" Barry shook his head: "Don't agree, if it was put in the past, no problem, the defenders of Feiyun Pass can't beat the cloud cavalry, but now, both the empire and the federation have added troops to the border, Feiyun Pass, according to the information you gave me before, the mecha is at least a full division, there are a hundred, right?" I can't beat it. Yun Wuxian also sighed: "This is indeed true, even if you win, it will be a miserable victory, and Yun Qi's family background will be gone." Barry nodded: "So, you have to endure it now, as long as you don't lose money, you have to agree, besides, the smuggling in Feiyun Pass can still make some money." At this time, the terminals of the three giants of Pingyuan Prefecture's government affairs rang, and a message was sent to the three of them in a timely manner.
Yun Wuxian looked helpless and said: "Now, it's not okay if you don't agree, look, the Nebula Federation invites the cloud lord to go to the Devil's Claw Mountain for a while." Barry and Juan's faces changed slightly: "This, can you go?" Yun Wuxian shook his head: "It's not clear yet, I'll contact Nuoyi first to see if there is any news from Losov's side, so I can only promise Heifeng first, Pingyuan Prefecture, but I don't have the strength to fight on two fronts." Barry had to nod, and Juan said, "Promise first, and I'll send someone to talk to Black Wind later." See if you can get a more win-win plan, Hei Feng is bent on seeking money, and it is not difficult to solve it. ”
