Looking at Lu Yi guiltily, Hana said eagerly: "I know it's all my fault, what now? Shall we withdraw directly? Or fight against them?"

"Confrontation!" Hearing Hana's words, Lu Yi shook his head and said, "What are we going to do against others, it's a thousand ninth-order masters, and there is no way to fight at all." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yi paused slightly, and then continued: "Moreover, when I said that just now, I am not blaming you, I am just analyzing a fact, when I handed over the free city to you, it was actually a test for you, and now, ...... The test results are in, you are suitable for government affairs, but not for military affairs!"

"Oh!" Hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana suddenly realized, although she had guessed before, but it was not until now that it was finally confirmed.

Looking at Hana, Lu Yi continued: "You don't have to feel guilty, it's just a city, success or failure, it doesn't matter, you know...... You're going to govern in the future, but it's a whole country, and it doesn't matter if you make a mistake now, you should pay the tuition, but if something happens in the future, the tuition, it's too expensive, do you know what I mean?"

"What! you...... What do you mean......" Hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana couldn't believe her ears.

Smiling and nodding, Lu Yi took out a map, spread it on the ground on the rooftop, and said with his finger on the ground: "Look at this map, the entrance to our dungeon, that is, the extinct volcano is here, take a closer look, what do you find?"

Looking at the map suspiciously, Hana's good-looking brows furrowed very tightly, and she looked at it repeatedly for a long time, but she never understood the exact meaning and meaning.

With a leisurely smile, Lu Yi took out a pen and drew on the map while writing, and said in a deep voice: "If here, here, and here, build an artificial canal to connect these three major rivers together, you can take a look." ”

Hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana looked at it carefully, and after a few connections from Lu Yi, although the entire map changed very little, the changes produced were huge!

"Hiss......" gasped, Hana finally saw it, raised her head in disbelief, Hana trembled and said: "This is not the center of the dynasty, the location is much off, but this is the hub of the entire imperial waterway, through here, ships can follow the three rivers to reach any kingdom!"

Smiling and nodding, Lu Yi's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "That's right, although this is not the center of the continent in the absolute sense, in fact...... The central hub of the continent is the seat of the Holy See, and even if we can't get it, as long as we build three canals, then the center of the continental waterway is here. ”

"Oh my God!" looked at the map in disbelief, Hana couldn't breathe, you know...... If you go by land, you will encounter a lot of wild beasts, which is very dangerous, and you will not be able to travel at all without the protection of the mercenary group.

Relatively speaking, the waterway is much safer, although there are also underwater monsters, but as long as they don't jump into the water, the underwater monsters generally don't attack people, they are protected by the hull, and they are not afraid of attacking.

Looking at Hana's excited appearance, Lu Yi smiled and said: "Actually, I have always known that you were wrong, but I didn't say anything, I just want you to feel the taste of failure for yourself, so that you can understand how serious the consequences can be if you don't plan well!"

Taking a long breath, Lu Yi shook his head and said: "What we have lost now is just a city, although it is a pity, but to put it bluntly, this is just the hub city of a kingdom, but once such a mistake is made in the future, what we lose will be the maturity of the continent's hydraulic hub, or even the entire kingdom!"

"No, no, no...... No, I'm still able to govern a free city, but it's ......" Hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana waved her hands violently, he never thought about what Lu Yi said.

Patting Hana on the shoulder, Lu Yi said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with it, we actually only build a city on the surface, a super giant city, and the rest of the city is underground, so for you, the so-called governance of a country is actually just the city that governs the surface, and there is no difference from a free city." ”

"Oh!" Hearing Lu Yi's words, Hana's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking carefully about this possibility, thinking about it carefully, it seems that things are just as Lu Yi said, what she is responsible for is really just a city, as for the underground part, there are naturally other people to assist her in management.

Seeing that Hana was deep in thought, Lu Yi didn't bother her, through the soul chain, represented by the forty ninth-order masters, he issued an order to various departments, since he couldn't fight it, he could only let it out, but ...... Let is to let, but not in vain, you have to take something to make it, and ...... This free city will not still be the same free city.

Soon, a brand-new announcement was posted on the bulletin boards of the Free City, and all the stores in the Free City will be sold to the outside world! It will be officially put on sale in three days! The quantity is limited, first come, first served, and then it will be gone!

Seeing this announcement, the whole city was in a sensation, you know...... The shops in the Free City originally belonged to the Principality of Senhong, and all the merchants were rented, and the rent was very expensive.

Now that it has been sold to the outside world, although the price is very high, with the environment and potential of a free city, no matter how high the price is, it is cost-effective, or it will be earned back in a few years.

The more well-informed merchants already knew about the upcoming attack of the Gary Kingdom, but they ignored it, no matter who the Free City belonged to, it had nothing to do with them.

The land does not belong to the Principality of Senhong, nor does it belong to the Kingdom of Gary, but belongs to the Holy See, the Kingdom of Gary and the Duchy of Senhong only have the right to use, and now Lu Yi's approach is equivalent to giving up the right to use it and selling it to individuals, and there is a transfer agreement issued by the Holy See, which cannot be overturned by anyone.

In other words, although Lu Yi is about to lose the free city, he has not lost it yet, he is still the owner of this land, and he is the decider of the right to use this land, and even the royal family cannot interfere before the Gary Kingdom takes back the free city.

To put it simply, Lu Yi's sale of land is actually a transfer of the right to use this land to an individual, as long as he is the owner of the city one day, he will have such a right one day, until he loses the city, this right will disappear, and it will be enjoyed by the people who occupy the city.

For the merchants, they are not buying land from Lu Yi, but like the Holy See, they are buying land, but ...... The right to use the land belonged to Lu Yi, so he had to agree to it, otherwise the transaction would not be possible.

Three days later, tens of thousands of shops in the Free City were sold to the outside world at the same time! Even the goods distribution center and the storage center were packed and taken out, leaving nothing behind, and basically everything that could be sold was sold, and not even a single millimeter of land was sold in the entire Free City.

Although the time is very tight, it can even be described as hasty, but for Lu Yi, everything is not a problem, the prices of all stores are written on the signs, hung on the walls, everyone can bid, and the highest bidder will become the final winner!

In just three days, with the efforts of thousands of employees of the Grand Duke's Mansion, all the shops were sold out, and except for the private houses, none of the shops belonged to the Principality of Senhong, and all of them were bought by the merchants.

There are tens of thousands of shops, each of which is a three-story building covering an area of thousands of square meters, and such a building can be built by a seventh-order earth mage in one day, covering every street in the Free City, forming the commercial circle of the Free City.

Now, all these tens of thousands of stores have been sold, in exchange for a huge amount of money, tens of thousands of stores have sold a total of more than 800 billion funds, although this price is not too high, but considering that the time is so rushed, and the situation is so unfavorable, this price is enough to satisfy anyone.

After collecting the money, Lu Yi and Hana led thousands of members of the management of the Grand Duke's Mansion to leave the Free City, from now on, this place no longer belongs to them, they have become guests of this city, in the entire city, only the Grand Duke's Mansion has not been sold, and the Grand Duke's Mansion will definitely be taken away.

At the same time that Hana and her group left from the north gate, in the direction of the south gate, the ninth-order legion of the Principality of Gary slowly drove in and went straight to the Grand Duke's Mansion...... Under the leadership of the members of the royal family, more than a thousand ninth-order masters fought all the way to the Grand Duke's Mansion, thinking that they would encounter some resistance, but they never thought that from entering the Free City to entering the Grand Duke's Mansion, they did not suffer any obstacles, and there was no one in the entire Grand Duke's Mansion.

Faced with this situation, the eldest prince in charge of this operation was stunned for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, in fact, there is no need to think about it, in the face of thousands of ninth-order masters, a small principality, it is impossible to resist no matter what, the reason why so many masters were gathered at that time was to bend people's troops without fighting, it was obvious that their goal was achieved, and they did not need to fight, so they completely took this city with unlimited potential into their pockets.

After arriving in the city, the eldest prince handled the handover procedures with the local Holy See on behalf of the royal family, and since the city is now without an owner, the other user of this land, the Gary royal family, naturally has the right to speak.

After taking over the entire city, all kinds of news were quickly collected, and when he heard that Lu Yi had sold all the shops before leaving, the eldest prince was very angry, but after being a little depressed for a while, the eldest prince quickly laughed, although the loss was great, but the biggest benefit, they couldn't take it away.

The biggest source of income for the Free City is not the rent of the shops, but the taxes! Now that they have lost these shops, they are satisfied with so much tax revenue.

After obtaining the ownership of the city, all the ninth-order masters got a lot of money, and then they scattered and rushed back to their own countries, while the eldest prince sat in the free city and completely took over the free city! Until now, he still didn't understand what Lu Yi was doing, let alone how serious the consequences of doing this were!
