After sending away Milu, who had been talking secretly with him for a long time and was initially persuaded by himself, Luo Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although when contacting the White Tower of the Nine Rings and trying to change the fate of himself, the Cook family and the Elson Kingdom, Luo Sheng knew that his actions had changed the situation on the continent and might cause some chain reactions, but what Luo Sheng didn't expect was that the change would come so drastically. Whether it is the demon who rushed out of the Demon Slayer Canyon a few years in advance, or the God of War Angel who came in advance, and the devil force who inadvertently provoked and had no relevant information in his previous life, all warned Luo Sheng: Fate has changed dramatically, and many memories of the previous life are no longer reliable.

In this case, Luo Sheng's original plan for the development of the territory has become a bit outdated, especially in terms of territory security, there is a possible retaliation from the devil forces, the threat of the Arcane Revival Society is far away, and the North Sea Fishmen who have not been truly subdued yet, it can really be said that there are many crises. Relying on the existing strength of Rasheng's territory alone is not enough to ensure the safety of the territory.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the territory, Luo Sheng could only throw out the big cake of the true silver vein and draw all forces to the side of the sprout territory. And using the information obtained from the Diallo projection, he borrowed a knife to kill people, and with the help of the power of the Nine Rings White Tower, he first eliminated the nearest devil force.

However, the power of the devil is easy to solve, but the Arcane Revival Society is not so easy to deal with. After all, this organization not only has a super tower like Snowtower as the center, but also a legendary master like Bob may be in charge. What's more, the Arcane Revival will be hidden inside the White Tower of the Nine Rings. Unless they attacked, Luo Sheng would not be able to lock down the identity of the enemy at all. In such a situation, there is simply no way to take a targeted precaution.

Faced with this situation, Luo Sheng was limited by the contract and could not reveal the information of the Arcane Revival to outsiders, all he could do was to unite the green spires that he could trust and enhance the protection of the territory. This time, in the posture of a 'magic stick', he persuaded Milu to unite all parties and deepen cooperation with himself, in addition to improving the situation of the Quinir family in the White Tower of the Nine Rings, the more important intention was to add an extra layer of insurance to the sprout collar.

After all, after a large number of personnel from the Green Spire were stationed, coupled with the personnel of the Douglas family, the Sprout Leader became a place where many forces in the White Tower of the Nine Rings coexisted. In this case, unless the Arcane Revival Society wants to completely split the Nine-Ring White Tower, it is impossible to take devastating measures against the New Sprouts, and the basic safety of the New Sprouts will be guaranteed.

After getting the general framework for the cooperative development of the real silver vein, Luo Sheng's attention shifted to another matter that was very important for the development of the territory, that is, trade.

Although theoretically speaking, after reaching a cooperation agreement with Bunir, Luo Sheng no longer needs to worry about the materials needed for the construction of the territory. After all, once the True Silver Vein starts to be mined, it will continue to generate huge benefits, enough for Luo Sheng to buy various materials from the Elson Kingdom to support the construction of the territory.

But from the bottom of his heart, Luo Sheng doesn't like to pin his hopes on one road. If all the materials depend on the Elson Kingdom for supply, once something happens to the Elson Kingdom, or something goes wrong in the North Sea, then the Sprout Collar will immediately fall into a huge predicament, which is what Luo Sheng does not want to see. Therefore, it is imperative to open up Hokuriku and find a new trade route that can temporarily support the sprout in the event of problems on the main trade routes.

And if Luo Sheng's territory wants to grow, he can't be complacent. After all, population is an extremely important factor in territorial development. Without enough population, no matter how high-end the construction of the territory is, it will not be able to truly become a big force. However, only a dozen villages and a population of about 20,000 are not enough to support the future development of Sprouts. Therefore, opening up trade routes is also an inevitable choice for communicating with all parties in the North Continent and absorbing the floating population.

Before preparing to open up trade routes, Luo Sheng and Alyssa specifically questioned Charles and several other land snakes in Hokuriku, according to them, Hokuriku itself also existed a trade route network. After all, although the current level of development in Hokkaiku is still very low, it is not completely deserted. In places with better geographical conditions, there are still a considerable number of people who survive. Although these people can endure hardships and stand hard work, they still need all kinds of materials for life, and it is impossible to be completely self-sufficient, and many things still have to be obtained through trading.

Since the people have a need for trading, it is natural that there will be people who will act as merchants to meet this trading demand. Although the transportation between Hokuriku and Hokuriku is inconvenient and risky because of the fish-man attack, there are still some merchants who are not afraid of death, transporting supplies from various countries in Hokuriku to Hokuriku, and then selling them to Hokuriku people at high prices through land passages and closer coastal waterways, forming a less stable but indispensable trade route network.

Before the threat of the fish-men is completely solved, Luo Sheng can only rely on the existing trade route network if he wants to open up trade routes. However, this smuggling-like trade route network is basically in the hands of merchants in the north, while villages such as Xinya Village, because they do not have enough strength to leave the village too far, are basically the end sales points in the trade route network, and they do not understand the overall situation of the trade routes, let alone master the trade routes.

In this case, although Luo Sheng has a large number of ships in his hands, sufficient supplies, and strong enough force, because there is no mature trade route, he can only take the territory as the center and reopen the trade route to the surroundings little by little, which is extremely inefficient.

However, just when Luo Sheng was worried about how to quickly open the situation, one morning, an armed cargo ship full of scars and bloodstains, and even a small number of fish-man corpses remained, rushed into Xinya Harbor without any sign of the White Tower of the Nine Rings.

This armed merchant ship, which seemed to have broken through the fish-man barrier, did not make any provocative moves after entering the port, but obediently docked according to the instructions of the port guards, and made a request to the guards to see Luo Sheng.

"Are you asking to see me?" Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was thin but his eyes were bright, Luo Sheng and Alyssa glanced at each other and asked lightly.

"Sir Honoritus Claas has met Lord Viscount Wood and Miss Alyssa. Klaas took off his hat, put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and greeted him with an elegant salute.

"Is there anything wrong with Fei Lingang of the Taylor Kingdom, asking to see us?" Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, still asking indifferently.

Fei Lingang is a port city in the north of the Taylor Kingdom near the border of the Elson Kingdom, because it seems that the fish-man tribe in the nearby waters is not strong, so the risk of Fei Lingang offshore shipping is relatively low, and the shipping is also quite prosperous, and there are many merchants who live near the sea trade.

Because shipping is prosperous and commerce is developed, the status of merchants in Feilingang is quite high. Generally, powerful businessmen can donate money to the town hall in exchange for some empty noble titles. The Klaas in front of him should be one of these businessmen. Judging from the situation of the other party's ships, the other party should be a smuggler who transported supplies from the North to the North Continent.

"I've come to join the Viscount and run Hokuriku's trade routes for your lordship. Klaas lowered his head and said solemnly.

"Oh, you're a man with a heart!" Luo Sheng said noncommittally as he looked Chris up and down.

I was trying to open up the trade routes of Hokuriku, and I immediately had relevant professionals rush to join him. If it's not a trap, it can only be said that the Chris in front of him not only has a good source of intelligence, but also a real person with a heart. Just by virtue of some of his own actions, he deduced his own thoughts.

"Sir Chris, why did you think of running to us?" asked Alyssa, looking at Chris, who had kept her head down.

As the steward of the territory, Alyssa is basically in charge of opening up trade routes. But the progress of this matter made Alyssa very dissatisfied. So for Chris, who obviously controls the core resources of the Hokuriku trade route, Alyssa is more interested than Luo Sheng.

"Because the Viscount has exterminated the one-eyed shark pirates and shown great strength. Klaas said calmly: "Following a lord with a strong strength and a deep background like Lord Viscount, there will be a chance to soar in the future." ”

"You're very honest. And what about your chips? Your ship alone is not enough. Luo Sheng asked with a smile.

"I myself have been promoted to the silver rank, and my combat strength is good, with more than a hundred people under my command and more than ten combat officers. Moreover, he has a map of trade routes within a radius of hundreds of miles from Hokuriku, and he can communicate all these trade routes for the lord. Klaas said confidently.

"Then what kind of treatment do you want from me?" Rashon and Alyssa asked with interest after glancing at each other.

"A knight's domain, and the same promotion opportunities as other knights. Klaas smiled and said, "As long as the lord is willing to give me a chance, I will use my merits in exchange for status and rewards." ”

"Not bad. I'm getting a little interested in you. Rasson walked up to Klaas, twitched his nose, and said with a smile, "That's it." I'll give you a task. If you can finish it, I'll take you as my knight, what do you think?"

"Willing to serve your lordship. Klaas bowed again and said solemnly.

"There are few boats in my territory right now, and many ships are idle there. I want you to go to Fei Lingang, help me recruit five hundred sailors, and within a month, send me to Sprout Harbor, can you do that?" asked Luo Sheng, patting Chris on the shoulder.

"As long as the adults give me enough money, I can do it!"

"Good. This is 10,000 gold scales, I hope you don't disappoint me. ”
