On December 17, 1645, the eve of Advent, the small town of Lorma was bustling with activity.

Three months after the new team came to power, the city prospered and flourished.

Countless houses have sprung up, the surrounding forests have been cut down and turned into new residential areas, and new roads have turned the city into a neat chessboard, and if you bend down to take a closer look, you will find that each stone brick has the words "1645, the Rohr Chamber of Commerce" on it.

The landmark of the city of Lorma is no longer a towering church or a renovated town hall, but the University of Lorma that is being expanded. Its predecessor was the Lorma branch of the Fartican Theological Seminary, since the "heresy liberation order" was issued, almost the entire continent of scholars began to concentrate on this city of freedom of thought and academic freedom, the town hall after consulting the Fartican City Hall and the church, decided to expand on the original site, to establish a new comprehensive university. The Black Sanctuary Chamber of Commerce has volunteered to undertake the project, which is expected to be completed by June next year.

Of all the stories of Lorma Wines, Tuscano Wine Company is undoubtedly the most typical.

Its predecessor was the Tuscano Plantation, an orchard that was small but inefficient. After the current owner, Markov, took over the orchard, he made a series of dazzling, gambling-like decisions, some of which were even risking his life, but all of them were right. This surprised all the onlookers who were waiting to see the joke.

On the verge of bankruptcy, he moved the Rohr Chamber of Commerce with his incorruptible tongue and decided to cooperate with him.

He raised enough money on his credibility to get into the unpopular "iapple" program hosted by the city hall, and spent a lot of money on winemaking technology, and since then he has soared to the sky.

"This is first and foremost thanks to Governor Konstantin, a pragmatic and progressive governor who will surely bring happiness to all of us, let us wish the Governor good health!"

At the company reception, Markov raised his glass to celebrate, and the guests spoke in unison.

In the corner, an uncle and nephew are whispering.

"Konstantin is a guy who has made things happen because of people, has no achievements, and to put it mildly, is just a stamping machine. The real boss here is the magistrate Dack, and he proposes all the changes. ”

"I understand uncle, what about the attitude of the Holy City? I feel that they are very vague, after all, he is too deviant to do things. ”

"There is no way to do it in the Holy City, in normal times, any measure will bring him ruin. But now there is pressure from Urbino on the outside, and ...... on the inside You know very well how bad the Holy Church is, right? Duck can pay them three times the tax, and he still keeps his rule in order, and the Holy Church can't move him at this juncture. ”

"Well, what do you think of Duck?"

"Talent. I don't know how far the Holy City can tolerate him, it's always a bit of a pity. ”

The young man lowered his head and thought about it for a moment, and said, "If he is really smart enough, it is impossible not to think about retreating." I have an idea...... Tell my hometown, don't move the relationship here for the time being, how about contacting Duck directly?"

"No, this guy is an outlier after all. We need to be stable. However, it's not that ...... can't be considered."

"Do you agree or disagree? ”

"Don't move the relationship here, don't contact with Dak, wait and see, I have a feeling that this Dack is not a person who is willing to be lonely, and he will definitely have a bigger action after Advent. ”

The boy couldn't help but smile, "Are we on vacation?" ”

"Stinky boy, dare to make fun of me?" Uncle scolded, and said, "I'm not thinking about more than that, you see, Duck brought in the Luoer Chamber of Commerce and the Black Holy Land Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce has brought a lot of investment, and it is difficult to prosper in a small city." ”

"You want to replicate this model in Doland? I don't think it's easy to do, Duck has a deep personal relationship with the presidents of the two chambers of commerce, and we don't. ”

"Personal relationships are only superficial, and the Chamber of Commerce is unwilling to make a loss-making transaction. The Luoer Chamber of Commerce has won the new product through cooperation, and it will not be long before it will monopolize the fruit wine market in the colony, and it is estimated that it is only a matter of time before it sweeps the mainland fruit wine market; Such a big benefit, of course, they are happy to accept. ”

"You're saying that we can offer similar conditions to merchants as well?"

"When I came out on this trip, I realized that the idea of a businessman as a piggy bank was outdated. In the past few days, I have been sorting out information, and all countries are trying to support big businessmen, needless to say, the Rolle Chamber of Commerce is second to none; But we Dorland don't, and we're still keen to chop around under the guise of the Holy Church. ”

The boy nodded silently.

"Capital brings prosperity, and profit-seeking is its nature. We can also bring them immediate benefits. At that time, they will converge towards Dolander like water flowing downward. For example, how about a new company being exempted from taxes for one year?"

"Well, this is an advantage that Duck doesn't have, he has a holy sect on his head, and he has to be careful in everything, but we don't need to, just do it drastically. But what should Urbino's men do if they are fanning the flames?"

"Hey, didn't you say that those are poor people who have nothing to eat, and there is also a pitiful place, and they are going to abandon Urbino, the 'Lightwalker'?"

"What a lightwalker, careerist!"

"Hmm. I will advise Your Majesty on this matter, and you should not get involved, so as not to cause trouble. Having said that, do you think that His Majesty didn't send someone to investigate quietly? Lorma is so attractive, and now there are so many people here, if you want to stay for a few more days, don't easily reveal your identity. ”

At this time, another wave of guests entered the door, and Markov hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Welcome, welcome friends from afar!"

The young man glanced at it and said in a low voice, "The people of the Beihai Business Alliance—what's wrong uncle?"

Uncle's fingers holding the cup were trembling slightly, "There are important people in the Beihai Business Alliance!"

"Who?"

"I know him, Father Antalir!"

"Who is he?"

"A loyal subordinate of the former Holy Envoy Hickstu. ”

"Hickstu, the leader of the radical faction of the Holy Church? Isn't he at odds with the traditionalists? Didn't he set up another hill in the North Sea? Didn't he claim that the traditionalists were sinners who had killed the previous pope and usurped power? What did he send his men for? Poaching Dack and competing with the traditionalists?"

"No, Antalil must have come here to find a way for Hikstu. Quickly inform my hometown that the situation will change drastically, and it is possible that the radical faction of the Holy Sect in the North Sea Alliance may reconcile with the traditionalists!"

The boy's head crashed a little, "What will happen?"

"Well? Good news, great news, there is hope for an end to the war! If the radicals can reconcile with the traditionalists, then what is Urbino in the middle? Is the mainland in turmoil?"

"What if Urbino also sat down and talked?"

"What does he have to talk about? Abolish tithes, or abolish the sacred offerings altogether? He won't do it—Hixtu would send somebody, and I don't believe it if there is no one to make a match." ”

"Dark?"

"It's definitely him. A mere chief of the referee has such great power!"
