Chapter 226: Be open and honest
readx;
Under the long-term cultivation, the thoughts of the three elders are relatively simple, and they are a bit of a child's heart, but they are not stupid, when Lu Yi put the problem in front of them, they soon found out the seriousness of the matter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two principalities are not militarily weak, but military powers that are stronger than the principality of Leiden, even if they can get some benefits in a short time, but if they are really right, and it is one against two, Leiden's merits will be defeated.
Looking at the stunned appearance of the three elders, Lu Yi continued: "Not to mention that all four are occupied, even if they only occupy one, it is not a way, and their lord cannot afford this crime! ”
Looking at Lu Yi suspiciously, the second elder said puzzledly: "Then if you do this now, will they be able to accept it?" You know...... You've taken 30% of the shares from them!"
Hahaha, Lu Yi spoke: "Originally, they each owned two cities, each with two hundred shares, but now after we plug in, their shares are indeed thin, and the four cities together only have a total of one hundred and twenty shares."
Speaking of this, Lu Yi's eyes flashed, and he continued: "However, although there are fewer shares, the profits will not necessarily be less, but will be more!"
The four cities in the northwest, located at the junction of the three principalities, present an inverted triangle, within which the four cities are arranged in a horizontal diamond shape.
Originally, the four major cities were sandwiched in the middle by the three principalities, just like a pool of stagnant water, without any development potential! No matter which country gets the four cities of the old man, they are all in the rear, the transportation is the farthest away, and the transportation is the most inconvenient!
With the benefit of the Duchy of Leiden, once these four cities are obtained, then transportation will be a problem, and the territory of the two principalities on the opposite side is impassable, so you can only rush from the direction of the Duchy of Leiden, and after crossing the entire Duchy of Leiden, you can reach these four cities.
This is not only the case with the Duchy of Leiden, but also with the other two principalities, no matter which principality, the position of these four cities is too backward and does not have the conditions for development at all!
But once Lu Yi's plan was realized, then the situation changed, this area was located in the middle of the three principalities!
What is especially important is that since the three principalities have a three-percent stake, the three principalities are responsible for the construction of these four cities, and a large number of materials from the three principalities have gathered, and these four cities are likely to become the four most prosperous and largest cities in this area! This is definitely not a joke!
Taking out a pen and paper, Lu Yi quickly drew a sketch, connected the four cities arranged in a diamond shape with lines, and said excitedly: "These four cities are scattered now, but it can be expected that with the passage of time and the development of the four cities, these four cities will be connected together to form a super giant city that is even bigger than the king city!"
"Hiss......" Hearing Lu Yi's story, the three elders lit up their eyes at the same time, once it is really realized, even if it is only thirty percent of the shares, it will be a terrifying number!
Lu Yi's development strategy is to combine the three benefits, and the division is detrimental, only by distributing these four cities equally, the three countries will work together because of interests, and this will become a regional center from the rear!
Looking at the excited appearance of the three elders, Lu Yi continued: "Now the two principalities are forced to have no choice but to agree, but as long as I am given three years, when they get enough profits, when the four cities develop rapidly, when they realize the potential profits in this, no one will be willing to leave, and no one will break this agreement!"
"En'en En......" nodded again and again with his eyes shining, and the Great Elder said loudly: "That's right, these four cities want to develop, and they can't leave any principality, and without a principality, the development of this city will be slowed down by a third, and once the principality that is driven out makes trouble again, then these four cities will immediately lose their potential for development and become a big rear again!"
Smiling and nodding, Lu Yi continued: "Once this place is established, then the metals of the West, the grain of the South, the sea salt and seafood of the East, and the meat and leather of the North will all be gathered here! What does this mean, have you ever thought about it?"
"Hiss......" Hearing Lu Yi's words, the three elders gasped at the same time, and only now did they understand Lu Yi's true intentions!
Due to the crowding of the three principalities, the traffic was jammed, and the Duchy of Leiden was severely short of metal, meat, and leather, while the other two principalities lacked sea salt, seafood, and food!
The three principalities block each other's passages to other places, and also set up a lot of inconveniences for each other's development, once these four cities develop, then in this center, the lack of materials of the principalities will be completely solved!
No matter what you are lacking, you can buy it here, and it has become a transportation hub and a distribution center for goods! It will inevitably become the commercial center of the three principalities, and the profits it generates every year will be astronomical!
Looking at the stunned appearance of the three elders, Lu Yi continued: "The four northwestern cities are arranged in a horizontal diamond shape, which are east, south, west, north, and four cities, of which the west city will be dominated by metals and ores, the south city will be dominated by various grains and grains, the east city will be dominated by sea salt, and various seafood, and the north city will be dominated by meat and leather, the four major cities will develop at the same time, constantly developing towards the center point of the diamond, when these four cities are connected together, our goal will be achieved!"
"Bang!" casually throwing the pen on the table, Lu Yi said proudly: "These four cities do not belong to us, but they do not belong to anyone, but from another point of view, when we lose these four cities, why don't we gain four cities at the same time?"
......By now, the three elders have thoroughly understood that although they only own 30% of the shares of these four cities, these four cities will play an immeasurable role in the development of the Duchy of Leiden.
Looking at the three elders, Lu Yi said loudly: "What is the purpose of our seizure of the city? Isn't it for profit? But the fact is that according to my plan, the profits we can obtain will be a hundred times more than that of the four cities that we have alone!"
Speaking of this, Lu Yi leaned lightly on the back of the chair, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "However, this plan is destined to be unrealizable, I have to enter the family library to study no matter what, since you must occupy the four cities to allow me to study, then I can only rob it, but I have already made it very clear, I can rob the four cities, but I really can't sit on the throne of the lord of the country, otherwise, I am afraid that I will have to fill my small life to get out." ”
Hearing Lu Yi's words, the three elders looked embarrassed, at this moment, how could they not understand, when it comes to cultivation, they may be experts, but when it comes to governing the country and formulating development strategies, Lu Yi is far superior to them by a thousand times, if they really develop according to what they say, then the Principality of Leiden will not only not become stronger, but may suffer a catastrophe!
All along, the Governing Body is not allowed to interfere in the development of the country, they can change the head of the country, but they cannot order the head of the country to do anything, let alone force the head of the country to act according to the will of the Elder Body.
This time, they didn't actually try to order Lu Yi, but they were not satisfied that Lu Yi obviously had the opportunity to capture the four cities, but they let it go lightly and only got 30% of the shares of the four cities.
But after Lu Yi's explanation, they now understand Lu Yi's intentions, and now, even if Lu Yi wants to forcibly seize the four cities, they will not agree.
Coughing in embarrassment, the Great Elder said embarrassedly, "This...... You see, we don't understand the governance of the country, we just made a joke, don't take it to heart, the Duchy of Leiden is in your hands, we don't worry, we won't forcibly interfere, let alone order you to do anything. ”
"En......" nodded, and the second elder said: "We didn't understand the situation just now, now that you have made it clear, of course we will fully support you, just do it according to your ideas, no matter what happens, we will fully support you in the back!"
As soon as the second elder's words fell, the third elder said: "That's right, just now, you can just pretend that you didn't hear it, and you can do what you need to do next, just let it go, we will wait for your good news." ”
"Oh!" Glancing at the three elders with a smile, Lu Yi smiled and said, "However, if you can't occupy the four cities, can you let me go up and study?"
"Huh......" Hearing Lu Yi's words, the three elders glanced at each other, and then ...... The Great Elder waved his hand violently and said categorically: "Just go, all the magic books of the family, you can study as much as you like!"
Hearing the words of the Great Elder, Lu Yi clenched his fists fiercely, he didn't expect it, he really didn't expect it, he only wanted to learn two books, but now, the entire library was completely open for him, what a surprise!
Looking at Lu Yi's excited appearance, the Great Elder said in a low voice: "However, you can return to school, but don't talk nonsense when you go out! ”
"En......" nodded happily, Lu Yi said categorically: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, how can I talk about such a thing everywhere! I'm afraid that the secrecy is not strict enough, how can I take the initiative to say it." ”
Smiling and nodding, the Great Elder said with relief: "Okay, we won't delay your time, just go and learn, but ...... When you go back, you have to govern the country well and carry forward the Shion family!"
Nodding happily, Lu Yi couldn't hold back any longer, turned around and ran towards the stairs of the Tower of Summoning, this time...... He can finally enjoy a Manroe-style treatment, the entire family library, completely open to him, learn what he likes, learn as much as he likes!
Although the Duchy of Leiden is not as good as the Kingdom of Canby, there are not so many books, and it is not so complete, but after all, the Duchy of Leiden is a super family that summons heirlooms, and in terms of the summoning system alone, even the library of the Kingdom of Canby is afraid that it does not have all the books here!
Ordinary books are not enough, the most important thing is that the ancestors of the Shi Ang family, who are all famous summoners, have summarized and created I don't know how many combat skills and spells, accumulated over the years, this is the most valuable wealth of the Shi Ang family, except for the elites within the family, no one has the opportunity to learn.
