399 Egris
Jack's territory, with an area of 300,000 square kilometers, is nearly one-thirtieth the size of our Celestial Empire, and is one of the subordinate territories of the 'Cretia Kingdom' in the southern part of the Demon Yuan Continent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There are seven large cities and twenty-three small towns in Jack's territory, the closest to the town of Corinth in Zhao Lun is a large city called 'Egris'.
Due to the proximity of this city to the vicinity of the Blood Eagle Territory, which is not in harmony with Jack's territory, it has been slowly built into a military fortress by Jack's territory for decades, and almost fifty percent of the military strength of Jack's territory is placed in this city.
Due to the presence of a strong military force, the city is actually in a state of semi-military control, and there are strict restrictions on all aspects of the city in peacetime, such as the curfew that you are not allowed to go out after 8 o'clock every night.
Life in such a city is undoubtedly not free, for many people who like pleasure, this is not much different from a cage, but for those who lack a sense of security, this city is undoubtedly reassuring, if the Kingdom of Crimea can have a national crime rate survey, 'Egris' will definitely not be out of the top five, if not the first place.
The only thing that gives Lord Jack a headache for such a city is that it is too expensive and has little economic development.
The remaining six big cities in Jack's territory can provide at least one million gold coins to Lord Jack every year, but 'Egris' also needs at least one million gold coins from Lord Jack, such a huge consumption, but I can't see any benefits, and finally Jack's territory began to reduce the expenses and assistance of 'Egris' this year.
Lord Jack is the boss, he can say that Lao Tzu will not give if he doesn't give it, but in this way, it will be bitter for those high-level people of 'Egris', and nearly half of their funds will be cut at once, making their originally good little life become bitter all of a sudden.
One by one, the high-ranking members of 'Egris' lined up to complain to Lord Jack, but they were determined to cut the funds, and they said that they would cut the funds, and they didn't say anything back.
As a last resort, 'Egris' began to loosen its grip on the city and began to develop commerce, hoping to obtain some tax revenue from commerce to subsidize the city's expenses.
Not to mention, this trick is really useful, and it is very useful, in just a few years, taking advantage of the special geographical location of 'Egris', and some special goods. Already loose policy. 'Egris' has almost been transformed into a commercial city.
In the first year, 'Egris' earned enough money to subsidize expenses, and in the second year, he paid more than 100,000 taxes to Lord Jack, although it was not much, but seeing that Egris, who had always been a money-loser, actually honored himself once, Lord Jack was very happy, and praised the group of high-level officials of 'Egris' fiercely.
As a result, 'Egris' gradually evolved into a semi-military and semi-commercial city, and now 'Egris' is no longer as strictly controlled as before, and if you want to enter and exit 'Egris', you don't need to go through at least three or five procedures like before, you just need to simply prove that you are a merchant and someone will vouch for you.
Egries is nearly 100 kilometers away from Corinth Town, and among the two major chambers of commerce in Corinth Town, only the Vic Chamber of Commerce has business on Egris's side.
The Vic Chamber of Commerce doesn't attach much importance to the business of Egris, after all, this business is not big, and it is almost enough to form a caravan once every three or four months, and it is just the time for their caravan to be formed recently.
Originally, the Vic Chamber of Commerce did not plan to make this trip, but after an order from Zhao Lun's headquarters, the Vic Chamber of Commerce had to operate wildly.
Five days later, a chamber of commerce from Corinthian Town passed through the gates of Egris, and entered the most impregnable fortress in Jack's territory.
The Vic Chamber of Commerce that entered the city, as usual, honestly pulled its own goods, walked around the circle where it was supposed to be, sold all the goods that should be sold, and after all the improved goods were entered, and then left 'Egris' directly, but no one noticed, but one of the Vic Chamber of Commerce stayed.
This person is not surprising that it is Zhao Lun, after he followed the Vic Chamber of Commerce into the city, he directly separated people from the Vic Chamber of Commerce, and then directly found a seemingly ordinary tavern in the city of 'Egris'. After Zhao Lun entered, he was directly welcomed into the dark room inside the tavern.
Don't get me wrong, Zhao Lun doesn't have the ability to bury nails in 'Egris', the old man in front of Zhao Lun who looks ordinary and even a little philistine was originally a spy who belonged to the 'Blood Eagle Territory' and was placed here, but Kane sold him to Zhao Lun.
A few days ago, Zhao Lun met Kane unsurprisingly, and after a brief silence between the two, the conversation between the two officially began.
No one knows what the two talked about that day, the only thing that can be clear is that when Kane left, he was accompanied by four soldiers wearing thick armor, and Zhao Lun directly began to prepare to come to 'Agris' after Kane left.
"Are you ready for what I want?"
Before Zhao Lun arrived, he gave an order to this side, asking the stronghold here to help him collect as detailed a map of the military deployment of 'Egris' as possible.
"Alright. ā
The old man took out a copy of the document from his arms and handed it to Zhao Lun.
Zhao Lun's eyes flashed coldly, and he didn't immediately stretch out his hand to pick up this information, but stood up and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, the old man was anxious, his hand shook, and that piece of information turned into a dagger, which actually pounced directly on Zhao Lun, and the dagger in his hand pierced Zhao Lun's heart.
It's just that the others haven't touched Zhao Lun yet, and the whole person fell directly to the ground, as if someone was hammering him down with a hammer.
"It seems that Kane is right, you are indeed a mutiny here, but it doesn't matter, you are finally the same as me, I just want to know if you have a map of the military deployment of this city?"
When Zhao Lun turned around, the old man had been grabbed by the invisible big hand, and the whole person was suspended in mid-air, and the old man's face showed a trace of horror.
"You're not Master Kane, who the hell are you!" (To be continued.) )
