Chapter 522: Shi Fatzi's plan

"One hundred and eighty-six years ago, the Grand Duke of Moronte, who occupied the plains of Falihill, suddenly announced the restructuring, abolished the traditional feudal lord system on the Gelinthia continent, and established the Fude Chamber of Commerce, which united the six major chambers of commerce of the two-headed dragon, Vesia, Mayflower, Liward, Peterson and Chickede, to form a business alliance to conduct business with the countries of the continent based on the Falcan Hill Plain.

The conference room was filled with the Norton family's current civil and military officials in Morente City, such as the knights above the commander of the family's four major legions, as well as Director Speer and several civilian officials. They were all urgently summoned by Lorist to discuss the plan submitted by Fat Smith, which was almost related to the future of the Norton family's armed forces in Moriente City for some time to come.

Shi Fatzi was standing on the podium to give a lecture to a large group of high-ranking family members sitting in the conference room, explaining the history of the Business Alliance and the city of Moldon, so that these family leaders could understand why he proposed such a plan, and what kind of impact this plan would have on the future of the city of Moldant, the business alliance and the Norton family.

For those who have lived in the city for more than a decade, such as Lorlist, El, Fat Man, and Yuri, who know the city well, it is difficult to explain to the high-ranking officials of the family who are not familiar with the history of the business alliance why they are so cautious about the more than one million residents of the city. As Tiger Ross was puzzled, he asked Lorist why he didn't forcibly relocate half of the million inhabitants of the city of Moriente to his family's domain, just like the newly acquired province of Yungeshandra, which was sparsely populated and in dire need of labour.

Tiger Ross thought very simply, moving half of the people to other places would not only solve the livelihood problem of the millions of residents of Moldant City, but also add hundreds of thousands of lords to the family, which would be good for everyone. Unwilling to relocate?Hehe, don't you know that the Norton family's armament is best at forced relocation?As long as Lorist gives an order, he and the Flying Tiger Legion guarantee that everything can be handled properly.

Lorist smiled wryly, it was that simple. The Hundred Years' War against the invasion of the former Krisson Empire after the establishment of the Mercantile League made the blood of the people of the Mercantile League full of the concept of independence, freedom, and equality, especially the inhabitants of the city of Moriente, who were particularly proud and proud of the idea that they were free people. And this pride and pride is the reward of their blood and tears for more than 100 years, and the freedom and pride that their ancestors won for their children and grandchildren with countless lives and heroic deeds.

Transferring them back to the family domain as vassals would be something that would only be done by a nobleman with a sick brain. It is conceivable that if these inhabitants of Morente City were indeed relocated to the family domain, they would ensure that everyone would become a spark, and they would agitate everyone among the people to fight for freedom and equality, and form a group against their lord...... Well, thinking about Lorist is a headache, as a member of the realm nobles, let alone let these residents of Moriente City move to the family territory, even if they want to go to the family territory to do business and work, Lorist has to consider whether to refuse their request.

"The establishment of commercial alliances, the distinctive system and the businessman-oriented state policy made it difficult for them to move forward in the first phase, and the countries around them were very suspicious and disgusted, and they made all kinds of difficulties with their commercial transaction requirements, and even closed their borders and refused to do any business with them. At this time, the former Clison Empire felt that this was a godsend, and was ready to swallow the Mana Hill Plains in one gulp while the Business Alliance was isolated.

But Christen IV forgot the most important point, compared to the weak force of the commercial alliance, the Krison Empire, which ranked first among the three major powers of the Gelinthia continent, was more feared by the countries in the central and southern parts of the continent, and the most feared thing for those kingdoms and principalities was that once the commercial alliance that stood in the way fell, the iron cavalry of the Clison Empire swept in, and everyone was finished by then.

As a result, various countries around the business alliance have vigorously supported the business alliance to resist the invasion of the former Krisson Empire, hoping that the business alliance can resist the invasion of the former Krisson Empire. In the following 100 years of war, the merchant alliance became stronger and stronger, not only defeating the former Cleison Empire, but also winning a high reputation among various countries in the central and southern regions, and at the same time opening trade routes to all directions of the continent, becoming the most powerful power in most of the central and southern regions.

The people of the Mercantile Alliance, although they had made great sacrifices to win their freedom from being enslaved by the former Krisson Empire, were also given self-confidence and pride. When Your Highness and I were studying in the city of Morente, one of the most common phrases we heard was the proudest thing of the Morente: I am a free man. A newspaper once published a survey showing that the people of the city of Moriente were the least suitable to be a domain nobleman. Because he will see himself as an equal person to the lord, not only will he not obey the lord's assignment, but he will also subconsciously oppose the lord's rule over him.

Therefore, the inhabitants of the city of Moriente are an outlier on the continent of Galinthia, and they will not become loyal subjects of the nobles of the realm, but they will willingly bow down in front of the gold coins. In other words, the business atmosphere of the business alliance has created a unique Moldontean people, who despise authority but worship money and wealth, and are willing only to be slaves of money.

The biggest mistake made by the Business Alliance was the decision to introduce a lord system, which should have been the political appeal of the business Alliance's top leaders in the ruling chambers. Although they were the rulers of the commercial alliance and held great power in their hands, they were despised by the aristocracy in their business dealings with the surrounding countries because they did not have titles. Merchants are unscrupulous and like to compare, and they can't stand these contempts, so they decide to implement the lord system to elevate their status and status.

Originally, the merchant alliance decided to acquire a noble fief from the fragmented former Krisian Empire, but a sudden glass war changed the close relationship between the merchant alliance and the surrounding countries. The Business Alliance annexed seven countries including the Kingdom of Trimber through war, adopted an expansionist policy of waging war against the surrounding countries, and changed from a defender in the south-central part of the continent to an invader.

Although the major chambers of commerce of the business alliance have all benefited from this expansion war, they have obtained their respective chamber of commerce territories. But this war is not worth the loss for the business alliance. Externally, various countries in the central and southern part of the continent regard the commercial alliance as a destroyer of order, and have adopted the decision to close their borders, cut off trade routes, and suspend commercial exchanges, which has caused the commercial alliance to suffer a major blow in commerce, and foreign trade has been in a slump ever since.

Internally, the major chambers of commerce of the business alliance have relocated their production workshops and storage bases in Morent City to their respective chamber of commerce territories because they have obtained their respective chamber of commerce territories, so as to reduce costs and increase profits. These measures were a fatal blow to the city of Morente, and a commercial metropolis with a vibrant population of one million people began to decline.

In order to divert the contradictions, the high-level leaders of the ruling chambers of commerce blamed all the blame on the blockade of trade routes by various countries around the country, and propagated that the predicament of the city of Moriente was caused by the countries around it, and for this reason, there was another war with the kingdom alliance forces in the central and southern parts of the continent, so that the current strategic situation in the central and southern parts of the mainland was formed......"

After a detailed introduction to the history of the Mercantile Alliance and an analysis of the current situation in the city of Moldente, Fat Man finally talked about the main point of his plan: "Our Norton family occupied the city of Morent and the plain of Falimous in order to stop this hopeless and bloody war between the Mercantile Alliance and the Kingdom of Antinac, which lasted for three years, and prepared to force the Mercantile Alliance to sign an armistice agreement with our kingdom to restore peace.

However, the Business Alliance's response was not what we had expected, and they simply abandoned the city of Moriente, leaving us with a mess and saddling our family with a large package responsible for the livelihood of more than 1.3 million residents of the city of Moriente. Although we have not yet received a formal response from the business alliance to our peace talks, we must be prepared in advance to guard against all kinds of machinations carried out by the business alliance. Past experience has proven that the merchants of these business alliances are still immoral and untrustworthy, despite holding various titles of nobility.

A few days ago, my family conducted a thorough survey of the outer 24 districts of the city of Morente, and in the process I was surprised to discover a fact that is hard to believe. Fat Shi smacked his lips, took a glass of water and drank it dry, then picked up a slender wooden stick and pointed to a map of Morente City hanging on the wall: "The power of the major chambers of commerce of the Business Alliance in Morente City has been swept away by our family's armed forces, and the ration distribution system of food and living materials that was originally implemented among more than one million residents of Morente has also disappeared. The responsibility for sustaining the livelihoods of more than a million inhabitants also falls on us at the Norton family.

If we exclude the major chambers of commerce that have withdrawn to the business alliance of Maweiflin Province from the Falcan Hill Plain and treat them as other countries, then if you look at the current city of Morente, is it like the newly formed business alliance more than 180 years ago?"

What does Shi Fatzi mean by this? Except for Lorist, who had already been clear, the high-level families in the conference room looked at each other at a high level, and they didn't know why. But soon, some people thought of the history of the business alliance that Shi Fat Man first mentioned, and understood what Shi Fat Man meant, which was to put aside the major chambers of commerce and noble leaders who had turned their backs on the business alliance of Moriente City, and form a new business alliance in Moriente City......

It's really an unbelievable idea, is it possible to take advantage of the more than a million city dwellers of the twenty-four neighborhoods outside the city of Morente and re-form a new business alliance?

"Of course it is. Shi Fatzi said categorically: "When the Grand Duke of Morent established the commercial alliance, the total population of the Falcan Hill Plain was less than a million, and most of them were serfs who had just been freed. It took more than a hundred years of war of resistance with the former Krisson Empire to gradually establish the idea of freedom, independence and equality among the people of the Mercantile Alliance. Now that we don't have to fight more than 100 years of war, we have more than a million like-minded city dwellers, so what can we not do?"

Shi Fatzi's words thundered most of the people present, you must know that the people present in this conference room are either territorial nobles or candidates who are about to become territorial nobles, everyone is a beneficiary of the feudal lord system, and now they are sitting together and discussing seriously how to help the millions of residents of Molente City to establish a new business alliance of equality, freedom, and independence, how funny this thing is. Lorist thought it was ridiculous.

"However, at that time, the business alliance had six major chambers of commerce, and they had wealth and materials, so they could help the business alliance gain a firm foothold in the Faliqiu Plain. Now that the city of Morent has nothing but a million inhabitants, and almost all of the chambers of commerce have become enemies, it is really hard for us to believe that the new business alliance can be sustained......" Bodfinger stood up and expressed his doubts.

"A blank piece of paper is easy to draw. Shi Fatzi laughed: "It is precisely because of the absence of those chambers of commerce that Morent City is like a blank sheet of paper for us to lightly swipe on it. Without the Chamber of Commerce, but we have community organizations, and the various chambers of commerce of the business alliance have restricted the development of the inhabitants of the city of Morent in almost all aspects, and without the restrictions of these chambers of commerce, I believe that the inhabitants of the city of Morent will soon burst out with amazing creativity, and they will bring us a miracle. ”

Shi Fatzi's plan was mainly focused on several aspects, first of all, he advocated that more than a dozen community organizations in charge of the twenty-four communities in the outer city should unite the temple district and the college district to elect representatives to form a council to take charge of all the people's livelihood affairs in the city of Morente, and to relax the restrictions of all previous chambers of commerce on various industries, and encourage the residents of the city of Morent to carry out various commercial activities. The Business Alliance used to put the council under the jurisdiction of the Chamber of Commerce, but Shi Fatzi would do the opposite, letting the council govern all business activities.

For those who surrendered, Shi Fatzi believed that the more than 100,000 recruits recruited by the Commercial Alliance in several southern provinces to stay in the Faliqiu Plain could be sent to Yunge Shandra Province as development labor. And the 1120,000 soldiers and captives of the surrendered city of Moldant can select a group of elites to form four or five corps to replace the family forces stationed in several fortress cities on the Falhill Plain, after all, the four main legions of the family armed forces are gathered in the Falcan Hill Plain and the city of Morente, and the family territory is very empty.

In terms of people's livelihood, Shi Fatzi suggested starting with the shipbuilding industry and the fishing industry, both of which were previously controlled by several large chambers of commerce and were not allowed to interfere privately. Even private fishing can only be carried out in the Tibetan Golden Bay, and there is no access to the sea for deep-sea fishing. Most of the seafood in the city of Morent is caught by the Chicke Chamber of Commerce in the sunny sea. Now that the city of Moriente is under the control of the Norton family, the seven or eight shipyards in the Golden Bay have become the spoils of the Norton family.

Fat suggested that these shipyards and their spare materials be used to repair warships and build fishing boats, and to recruit crews from the inhabitants of the city of Morent, and even sell the ships to them. On the one hand, fishing can enrich the tables of the residents, and on the other hand, the coarse linen raw materials collected in the warehouses can be used to hire the residents to weave fishing nets, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

In the end, Shi Fatzi also suggested that the residents should be hired to go to Thomas City and Gypsys City to level the land and establish farms, and the three-year bloody battle of Falis Hill made nearly 400,000 peasants on the plain of Fala Hill flee to take refuge in Moldant City, and now that the war has subsided, the fields around the two fortress cities near Molent City can be restored first, and large and small farms will be set up according to a certain scale for agricultural production, so as to reduce the number of unemployed residents in Molent City......

Shi Fatzi's plans are all very effective measures and strategies, but the only problem is that they require huge financial support. Director Speer asked the question with a frown: "Where did this money come from......?

"There is no need for a family investment. Shi Fatzi laughed: "Moriente City is actually very rich, but we can't get it." ”
