"Monsieur Vianos, the Gallic Wastelands are the closest neighbors of the Lanthehais, and we have a friendly base of trade for generations, but what we lack is a large-scale, systematic business model. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liang Ke's statement made the nobleman of the sea a little puzzled, and Liang Ke saw his doubts and quickly explained these terms into words that he could understand.

"You see, our Fang Market is a conscious and spontaneous behavior of the natives here, and the variety of goods sold is also very single, and the Sea Tribe's friends also come here by themselves, bartering for what they like, which limits the scope of trade, and most of the Sea Tribe's friends cannot travel long distances from the bottom of the sea to the coast, so they can't enjoy the rich specialties on land. ”

Bianos was deeply impressed by Liang Ke's words, and nodded frequently, Liang Ke was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and threw a tempting olive branch to Bianos.

"I would like to grant your family a franchise in my capacity as a Gallic lord. ”

"Franchise? what's that?" asked Vianos, puzzled.

"Uh...... It's that I can let you exclusively deal in some of our land specialties, you heard it right, only you can bring it back to the bottom of the sea in large quantities and sell it at a high price to those of your kind who can't come to land. You see......"

Bianos's eyes lit up when he heard Liang Ke's explanation, and he stood up from the wooden chair suddenly, the heir of a big family, naturally understood the business opportunities contained in this, and he immediately agreed.

"Haha! Your Lord is as big as Lenser Bay, and the Potter family will remember your generosity for generations to come, and I am sure our friendship will endure. ”

Liang Ke invited him to sit down and continued the topic just now: "There are great benefits, and naturally there are necessary responsibilities. The Potters need to give me a minimum underwriting commitment, and of course, I won't set that amount too far, so rest assured. ”

"Your Excellency, the Sea Clan has a large population, and our yearning for the land is mainly to covet what grows in the sun, as long as you have it, we can sell it. Pianos picked up the teacup, sniffed it in front of his nose, took another sip, and shook his head in praise.

"It's really a good tea, and you must have this kind of tea in the underwriting, and I can guarantee that our noble lords will love this fragrance. ”

"Tucker! Bring some tea leaves to Mr. Vianos as you go. Liang Ke commanded casually.

"Oh yes, the lord is so kind, this ...... What's so embarrassing?" said Vianos, his eyes fixed on the amber tea in his cup.

"Hahaha! The Gallic wasteland will never skimp on friendship with friends. ”

The conversation between several people was relaxed and pleasant, and after agreeing on some details of the transaction, Liang Ke personally sent this nobleman of the sea to the coast, watched them dive to the bottom of the sea like fish, and hurriedly took Cocoba and Sibbins to inspect their territory.

Liang Ke couldn't find a reason to refuse, and he didn't want to refuse to be accompanied by a beauty, so he took Xin Jiaer on the road together. Kekeba had already made a detailed survey of the territory, and he guided the group along the coastline all the way to the west, explaining to Liang Ke as he went.

"My lord, there are seventeen settlements like this in our territory, and this one is the largest. A two-hour walk west of the Borneo wetlands, there are four or five settlements along the eastern bank of the wetlands, where the inhabitants feed mainly on marsh creatures and sell reeds and straw mats. Along the edge of the wetland to the north is the real wasteland, the north is relatively high, bordering the mountain Ka Gobi, there are no people, listen to the natives here, there are some mineral deposits, but the local aborigines are backward in tools, and do not master the technology of mining, so there is nothing mined for so many years.

Further west and south are long coastlines, the south coast is full of reefs, not suitable for large ships to dock, turn to the estuary, enter Lancer Bay, the water is gentle, and it is relatively deep, but our side is high cliffs, not very suitable for merchant ships to dock, but a natural military barrier, if anyone tries to land from there to attack our flank, I only need a small team......"

When it comes to the military, Kekeba gushes endlessly, and Liang Ke quickly diverts the topic. A few people walked slowly along the edge of the Gallic wasteland, and when they met the local natives, Liang Ke went up to talk, learned about their production and life, and tasted a lot of local specialties himself. In the evening, Cocoba found a dry and sheltered mound and pitched a tent with Sibbins. Liang Ke found some dead bushes, dug a pit in the ground, burned some charcoal, and slowly roasted the fresh frog meat and a small scaleless fish rack bought in the swamp.

Xin Jiaer crouched across from Liang Ke with her knees crossed, her eyes staring curiously at the new noble lord who was dedicated to barbecue. Liang Ke frowned, leaned back slightly to avoid the scorching firelight, he had already noticed Xin Jiaer's gaze, and blushed a little, but fortunately, the bonfire covered his embarrassment, he lowered his head and seriously turned over the food in his hand, quietly listening to the crackling sound of the burning branches.

"I say, my lord, do you really want to stay here forever?" said Singar, picking up a branch from the ground and shaking the bonfire wildly.

Liang Ke looked up at Xin Jiaer on the other side of the bonfire, then looked back at Cocoba and Sibbins who were busy, and then replied very seriously: "Originally, I thought that I could make the world my home, but now I don't think so. ”

"Oh, I still don't understand, many nobles don't live in their own territories, and the empire doesn't stipulate that nobles must stay in their fiefdoms, so you don't have to suffer this crime, let's go back!"

"Go back, where to go back, Binuk Narondo, or go to your Alliance headquarters and hide under the ground and not come out?"

Singar slammed the branch into the fire, and sparks flew everywhere.

"Hmph, even if it's hidden underground, it's much better than here. ”

"Hehe!" Liang Ke smiled lightly, and used his feet to regather the charcoal fire that had been scattered by Xinjiaer, and then said leisurely: "I feel more and more that I need a home, a home in the true sense of the word, not only do I need it, but Cocoba, Sibbins, Tucker, Piedro, Praggart, Tyrone, and ...... There are also a lot of people you don't know the name of, and they all need a home. Especially after I saw the despair and helplessness in the eyes of those natives, it strengthened my determination to stay here. ”

Singar blinked, and then lowered his head to stir up the campfire. She was skeptical of Liang Ke's words, in her cognition, the noble lords of this world would only do one thing, that is, constantly collect taxes from the commoners in the territory, and she had never heard of anyone willing to pay attention to the suffering of those commoners, let alone interpret their eyes.

Liang Ke understood the doubts and incomprehension on her face, and explained to her with a smile. "I'm not a saint like Master Jonah, and I'm not a selfless prophet like Master Narondo, but since I need a home too, and I have the ability to bring them a better life, why don't I do it?"

Xin Jiaer was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then covered her lips and giggled.

"Hehehe, you're really thick-skinned, how can you make them live better in such a poor place?"

Liang Ke was not angry at Xin Jiaer's contempt, he shook his head with a smile, then put the frog meat to his nose and sniffed it, turned around and yelled, "It's time to eat!"

On the evening of the third day, several people finally returned to the station, Joanna and the others also arrived, the already crowded stilted building could no longer accommodate so many people, Sibbins took all his subordinates directly to the camp that had been surveyed, and Liang Ke took all the attendants to set up tents in the open space on the east side of the stilted building, and only the Holy Maiden of Liana, Joanna, Singar and Old Simon were left in the stilted building, as well as a few old and infirm refugees.

That night, Liang Ke gathered everyone together for the first workshop on the urbanization of the Gallic wasteland, including the oldest mage, Simon.

Kekeba will be a few days of detailed investigation to everyone to report, and then Liang Ke asked everyone to express their opinions, on economic development, urban construction, government management, military defense and other issues for a detailed discussion, what makes Liang Ke feel helpless is that in addition to the military defense everyone gave their own suggestions, almost no one in other aspects can give any good advice, and finally Liang Ke made full use of centralized decision-making power, forming a resolution of more than ten pages, that is, the "Gallic Plan" that will affect an era in the future.

Early the next morning, the people who were rushing to the sea saw the terrible guards of the lord erecting a huge sign on the sand by the sea, and everyone put down their work and beckoned each other to gather under the sign, and there was an old man who knew the official language, and read the contents of the notice to everyone sentence by sentence.

"In order that all the people of the Gallic wasteland may live a prosperous, peaceful, and happy life as soon as possible, the following new policies are hereby promulgated for all the inhabitants to be aware of.

First, encourage people to make the best use of their talents. Those who believe that they have a skill, and who can bring happiness and joy to others by virtue of their skills, can nominate themselves, and those who have been selected for use in the lord's palace or town hall will be paid a monthly salary according to their contributions, and the salary will be paid in the common currency of the empire.

Second, encourage agriculture and industry. Those who know how to plant and breed can apply to the lord's office for an interest-free loan, and the city hall will allocate land for a certain period of time, so that the farmers can use it for free until they make a profit. If the information is provided about the location of the mine, once verified, the informant will receive a 10% stake in the mine, and the miners involved in the mining will be paid on a daily basis. From now on, the Gallic wasteland will attract investment from all over the country, and anyone who invests in construction, finance, catering, transportation, tourism and other industries in the territory can be allocated land resources according to the needs of the project. Haizufang City continues to expand its scale, and the Lord's Mansion will invest in the construction of Fang City, and private capital is welcome to intervene.

Third, build schools. Funded by the Lord's Palace, the City Hall built a number of schools, which involved basic education, mainly referring to the subjects of writing, mathematics, calendar, astronomy, etc., and specialized education, mainly referring to the application of four types of technologies for workers, peasants, merchants, and soldiers. After the completion of the school, children over the age of eight must receive basic education, and after the age of thirteen, they can freely choose the direction of professional study according to their hobbies, and the study fee is free of charge.

Fourth, maintain a safe environment. Imperial laws were all put on trial in the territory, and the city hall had a public security bureau and a fire department, which were responsible for local security management and fire prevention. If the offender is found to be dealt with severely and quickly, the city hall will give a reward for reporting the source of danger.

Fifth, establish churches to encourage personal faith. His Majesty the Archbishop of the Imperial Capital personally sent missionaries to spread the voice of God in the Gallic wastelands and put an end to the era of God's abandonment. The church was built at the expense of the Lord's Palace, and anyone who participated in the construction could receive a baptism of light.

Sixth, set up a medical center to ensure the basic health of residents. Recruit medical experts in the territory and cooperate with the clergy to treat the ailments of the residents, and the medical expenses are free of charge.

Seventh, strengthen territorial land planning. Residents are encouraged to renovate and expand their homes, but they must report to the city hall in advance and obtain approval before they are allowed to build on designated sites, and this provision also applies to commercial land, with priority given to military use.

Eighth, encourage suggestions and suggestions. Whoever ......"
