Liao Yongfei and the others did not have any rest, and as soon as they came to Shouyang territory, they began to bury themselves in the initial work of the academy, and many of those students who graduated and came to Fang Ruitao also chose to stay and teach, including a group of female students such as Eleanor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoOther people who are interested in the army are also under Fang Ruitao's arrangement, and soon joined the Dragon Soul Legion as a trainee military position.

The Eighth Prince had been in Shouyang City for a few days, and after just such a short period of observation, he was already amazed by the prosperity of this place. A seaside city that was not very prosperous in the first place, it was neither a trade center nor a transportation hub, and the only advantage of Shouyang City was that the surrounding land was fertile. At that time, only during the harvest season, many grain merchants would be seen driving horse-drawn carts to buy grain, and there were only those two times a year.

Today's Shouyang City is different from the past, expanding four or five times the size of Shouyang City, the road is wide and flat, all kinds of shops and stalls are neat, and there are specific business areas. Although Fang Ruitao had set up a trading post near the border near the interior of the empire in order to cover the construction of the fortress, many merchants were still willing to come to the city to buy goods.

Thanks to the efforts of the patrol police station in Wucheng, the crime rate in the Shouyang territory reached the lowest level in the whole empire, and with the security guarantee, a large number of merchants were willing to choose to come here, hoping to buy the so-called factory price goods at a cheaper price.

There is prosperity with the floating population, and now there are more than a dozen commercial streets in Shouyang City alone, and with more and more merchants buying goods, the service industry here has also flourished. Qinglou restaurants, teahouses, inns, and even all kinds of small stalls for buying food abound in the city, and so many merchants just charge booth fees is an objective amount. Long Zhanyun secretly estimated that he found that in Shouyang City alone, the money collected for the booth fee every year could be worth the total income of an ordinary earl's entire fiefdom for a year.

However, the prosperity here is not only the combination of merchants and shops, as Fang Ruitao used his status as an elder of the mercenary guild to open a number of branches of mercenary guilds in the Shouyang territory, coupled with the attraction of demonic beasts in the nearby Great Hengduan Mountain Range, the number of mercenaries here has increased.

In Shouyang City, there are also a lot of mercenaries, there are shops dedicated to selling travel high-shelf life foods by the Shouyang Chamber of Commerce, weapon shops opened by dwarf masters, and medicinal herb shops opened by elves. The increase in merchants here has caused various mercenary tasks, especially the increase in escort tasks, which have attracted a large number of mercenaries to come, and it is no exaggeration to say that Shouyang City has now become a first-class prosperous city in the Longxiao Empire.

For such prosperity, Fang Ruitao still seems to be not satisfied, in order to increase the running time of the commercial street, he also set up street lamps like large oil lamps on each street, so that Shouyang City is brightly lit at night, and the night market is extremely prosperous, which can be said to be the only one in the whole Tianshen Continent.

"Brother Fang, although it has only been a few days here, it has been an eye-opener for me. Long Zhanyun stood on the balcony on the second floor of the Lord's Mansion and said to Fang Ruitao.

Looking at the prosperous scene on the street, Fang Ruitao smiled and said: "It's really a compliment to me, Your Highness has lived in the imperial capital for a long time, how can you look down on a small place like me." ”

Long Zhanyun shook his head and said: "These are two concepts, the prosperity of the imperial capital is because of the Demon Dragon Academy, because of the headquarters of many guilds, and because of the huge system of officials and the royal family, in fact, there are just a lot of people, and that kind of prosperity is piled up by the number of people." And Shouyang City really has enough attractive things, especially Brother Fang's Chamber of Commerce, which can produce so many novel and practical products. I guess the businessmen of the whole country are looking at you with a blank eye, and if you confide in someone you want to cooperate with on a new product, even if that person is a beggar, there will be a large number of rich people who will rush to lend him money to cooperate with you. ”

Fang Ruitao shook his head and said: "Your Highness said too much, I'm just playing tricks, not enough to worry about." However, the Duke of Guqi City, which is the transportation hub in the south of the empire, and its geographical location is extremely important, which cannot be replaced. ”

Long Zhanyun waved his hand and said: "You don't have to brag about him, to be honest, the current Shouyang Territory is indeed slightly inferior to the Guqi Territory, but the Guqi Territory was built by Lord Chen Zhenghao's family for thousands of years, and you only took a few years." ”

Long Hanyue on the side smiled and said, "You two are really, do you only say these words of mutual praise when you get together?"

"My sister doesn't want to, haha. I've come here today to say goodbye to Master Horse, and I've lived here for a long time, and if I don't leave, I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble. Long Zhanyun said with a smile.

"Leaving so soon?" Fang Ruitao was stunned, originally he thought that Long Zhanyun would stay for a few more days and study the development potential of his territory, not wanting him to leave so soon. However, Long Zhanyun left, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he was too close to Long Zhanyun, the Eighth Emperor, and it was easy for other forces to misunderstand. What's more, being responsible for the safety of the prince also made the Dragon Soul Legion and the Patrol Police Bureau highly nervous for a while.

"I also went back to Shenlong City with my eighth brother. Long Hanyue's abrupt words made Fang Ruitao stunned, and he said suspiciously: "Didn't you go to the Dragon Soul Legion to train, why did you go back so soon?"

Long Zhanyun obviously knew the news for a long time, and he smiled: "Of course it's for you, my sister really has nothing to say to you." She knows that many people have been against you recently, and she plans to go back and give you a town scene and suppress those people. ”

Fang Ruitao stretched out his hand and touched Long Hanyue's delicate cheek and said, "You don't have to be so tired, in fact, I'm ready to make them honest." ”

"Oh, is there any way Brother Fang can make them shut up?" Long Zhanyun was very surprised, he couldn't think of what Fang Ruitao was capable of, making the two major forces collectively lose their voices.

Fang Ruitao smiled and put a finger to his mouth and said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”

"No matter what, I'm going to be in the imperial capital for a while. I don't believe that the eldest brother and the third brother dare not give me face, as long as I blow the wind in my father's ear, they will not be able to eat and walk around. Long Hanyue snorted, as Emperor Long Chenguang's favorite youngest daughter, she was definitely qualified to say such things.

"If you must go, find two sisters to accompany you, and everyone will have a look for each other. Fang Ruitao was very worried, and Long Hanyue went together.
