"My lord, this Mr. Gatsby, I'm afraid he has made a lot of money!" Antrechi flipped through the contract in his hand and blurted out, "The reason why the unit price of these materials was so high in previous years was because crossing the Galloping Horse Plain needed to rely on orcs, barbarians, and border nobles in the northwest territory, but now as long as he passes through your territory, and he is doing business without you, I'm afraid he can earn 6 or 70,000 gold coins himself!" ”

For consumable commodities such as magic plants, the cost of transportation even exceeds the price of the raw materials themselves, and in the past, whether it was through a few portals in the basin or through the long plains, it would bring extremely high premiums to the raw materials.

Now, however, Rand is building infrastructure on the plains, and Hinduker's high-value products can be transported directly from Iowa's portals.

If it is a bulk commodity, it can reach Dragon's Tooth City within a month through the canal through the plains and the frostwolf forest, and it can be said that Rand offsets most of the cost for Gatsby, allowing him to earn 6 or 7 percent of the profit.

Lan nodded and said: "Yes, you are right, now is the time when the territory needs gold coins the most, a large number of projects are waiting to be invested, thousands of kilometers of roads, bridges, castles and workshops from east to west and from south to north need to be built, I can let the magic goblin complete a main road, but more roads and industries need to be invested." ”

"This Gatsby is simply using your rights to make money for himself!" Antrechi was very angry in his mouth, but he was also a little bottomless in his heart, and he didn't know if he could hold it in the face of such a big interest.

"Yes, but who can resist the temptation of such a huge profit?" As soon as Rand finished speaking, he noticed that Antrechi's face was wrong, and hurriedly added,

"You can rest assured that after the execution of these contracts, you are not responsible for specific transactions, but manage all the chambers and shops in the business center, so that everyone can operate and compete in an orderly manner, and avoid dumping and hoarding, which is also the second goal I have set for the business center: to become a distribution center for goods and products."

Of course, it was impossible for Rand to hand over his small treasury to the Blue Dragon family, and his idea was to split Gatsby's business, hand over the business supervision to Antrech, and then divide his own business to Jenny Galloper, Mace Frostwolf, or others.

"Thank you, sir!" Antrechi thanked him repeatedly, knowing that if Rand really made himself a second Gatsby Lanyuan, he would not be too far from being assassinated.

"In the future, Ling's main task is to let more chambers of commerce enter the business center, by concentrating the needs of these chambers of commerce, to give each commodity a guide price, the cultivation of magic plants is not an overnight thing, an intermediate magic plant needs hundreds of years of cultivation, and the high-level magic plant is even longer, I hope that the operation of the viscounts and barons in the field can focus on long-term interests rather than short-term financial games, which is also my third goal."

"Yes! My lord, I understand what you mean" Antrechi said quickly, and when he saw that Rand had nothing to order, he boldly said, "My lord, I also want to remind you that you should also choose carefully for the estate agent under your name. ”

"Huh?"

"In the Blue Dragon Family, the most important Dragon's Nest wine is directly under the direct responsibility of His Excellency McLaren's Second Lady, and our side-branch bloodlines can only receive quotas from that Lady." Antrechi said, "These family lifeblood businesses are impossible for others to touch!" ”

"Okay, I see!" Rand sighed, Antrechi's suggestion was basically to let him find more of his wife and take charge of the family business. After all, Cardinal, Greia, and Wendy are not business materials.

"One more thing," Antrechi looked out the window again, "aren't you really going to mix in the battle between the White Owl and the Blue Mandarin and the Wyvern and the Blue Lion?" ”

"Without your support, His Majesty Dusen probably won't be able to survive this year!"

"Did you hear anything?"

"I've heard that almost all the high-level dragon mages in the Flying Dragon Academy fully support the Flying Dragon Family! But in the Blue Dragon School, all the high-ranking knights went to the front line. ”

"I understand what you mean, but I'm afraid Your Majesty Dusen can't afford my support anymore." Rand smiled wryly.

In fact, since King Dusen was named the Duke of Night Qicheng by the Emperor, King Dusen no longer has any bargaining chips for Rand to support him: he has controlled the Northwest Territory, promoted Abilis, and even Red Dragon Rock can bypass the king and send the legend to contact Rand directly.

Du Sen made another bargaining chip, and only the descendants of the Galloping Horse family were left to enter the sequence of succession to the throne, and such a result was exactly what the Wyvern and Blue Lion families wanted.

It is precisely because of this that after December 1st, King Dusen, Prince Li Qi or Susie Lan Yuan never sought Rand's support for the throne again, and could only use his house as a shield for the dragon.

"What His Majesty Dusen wants is nothing more than to start a dynasty that belongs to the White Owl, and what the other families want is to start a dynasty of their own," Rand explained, "I already have a kingdom of my own, and I don't need to join in the fun with them." ”

"But my lord, what the Wyvern Family is pursuing now is nominally to make the young people of each family eligible to become the heir to the king, which seems to be fair to every family, but in fact, the Wyvern family has the most high-level new generations," Antrechi said.

"The Wyvern family not only has the Marquis Territory, but also controls the Wyvern Nest Academy, once a high-ranking member of their family becomes a king, do other families really have a chance?"

"Do they have a chance, what does it have to do with me?" Rand asked with a smile.

"The last time the Flying Dragon Family didn't succeed, it was because the major families were very strong, restricting the Flying Dragon Family, and promoting the weakest White Owl Family.

But now that the Blue Dragon Family has been sent to the battlefield, if Lan Yuan and Bai Xiao are beaten by the Flying Dragon Family and can't raise their heads, then the final result must be that the Flying Dragon Family will get the throne, then I'm afraid that the king of their family will not be better to you than His Majesty Du Sen, right? ”

Antrechi's analysis suddenly hit Rand's heart, he was concerned about his own costs and the benefits he received from Dusen, but he forgot that the Wyvern family is also a family that holds a grudge when it loses, and counterattacks when it wins, once their family becomes a king......

Rand looked at Antrechi with a solemn face and asked, "Do you think the Wyvern family holds a grudge?" ”

"You may ask your wife, Lady Wendy, how she was sold to the barbarians. ”

"Well, you have a point!" Rand even regretted seeing Antrechi so late.

Even if this young man from the Blue Dragon family may have been a lobbyist for Lan Yuan and the White Owl family, he did make a clear question: even in order to preserve the existing interests, the Rant should indeed support the White Owl family not to be replaced by the Flying Dragon family.
