"If it's really what you said, in three months, even the griffins and the cavalry, I can send you two squadrons."
Here's Hampton's answer.
Two squadrons meant that Dane would directly invest 180,000 gold coins in these three months—this figure made Dane shudder a little.
After both White Wolf Fort and Aurinai embarked on the track of rapid development, this was the first time that Dane encountered a situation where the arms building could fully recruit soldiers, but his own money was not enough to support the full-speed recruitment of troops.
This situation made Dane really uncomfortable.
In fact, to be honest, it's not that Dane can't take out 180,000 gold coins. And he also felt that if he could have more than a hundred griffin cavalry in his hands after three months, it must be quite a powerful thing. At that time, even if he is asked to take this group of griffin cavalry to slay the dragon, he will dare to do it!
But the problem is trade-offs.
Throwing out these 180,000 gold coins and bringing back a hundred or so griffin cavalry is great, but what about the follow-up construction plan? Auriana also has to go to level four. After the White Wolf Fort is upgraded to level four, so many buildings need to be upgraded, and there are still many shortages of soldiers for the second round of reorganization of the entire White Wolf Fort Legion... These things, there are Which one is free
These things require Dane to invest a lot of money to fill the hole, and if a large amount of money is spent on the Griffin Cavalry, it will definitely affect other plans.
Dane has the courage, but he doesn't think it's necessary.
After calming down, Dane said, "It seems that your next task will be much easier."
Hearing Dane's words, it was impossible for Hampton to have any happy look on his face. He is not stupid, and he can definitely hear what Dane means.
The middle-aged Griffin instructor scratched his head, opened his mouth and said, "Griffon cavalry plays a very important role in the war, my lord, you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dane waving his hand: "First, train a squadron of Griffin Cavalry in a three-month cycle to make a work plan. How many resources are needed and what resources are needed, you can write a copy Come in with the plan, and discuss it with Chapple."
Hampton said: "Yes, my lord. However, I think we still need to discuss the training scale of the Griffin Cavalry."
"There is no need to discuss it." Dane was too lazy to explain to him that he didn't have that much money, let alone talk about other development plans for the territory: "Go to the preparations, I hope to see your actual situation in three months. Results of the work."
The words have reached such an obvious point that Hampton has nothing to say, so he can only accept the order and leave.
Calmly holding the wine glass, Dane was actually bleeding in his heart.
He now deeply understands the truth that all the resources in his hands are, in essence, money and time. In the past, what restricted his legion's step-by-step expansion was always lack of time; but now, he finally realized the feeling of being 'poor'.
Sucking his teeth, he walked to the window and looked towards the west—in the near future, the only place that could make his territory's income have a huge enough boost is Shawan Harbor, right
…
Sandy Bay Harbor is a fertile place, although the land where it sits is still so barren that not even sea water can moisten the desert soil. However, the good seaside location and the natural high-quality port make the city of Shawan Port occupy a pivotal position in the commercial development of the entire Schindler.
If the warlords who used to own Shawan Port in the past could truly take the city into their own hands, I am afraid that on the land south of Schindler, there would have been no less than a thousand years ago. Yu Oze or Conley, a large governor-level warlord, right
It's a pity that no one can do this before Dane. As a result, in the hands of the warlords, Shawan Port, a hen that can lay golden eggs, can only be reduced to a cash machine that simply provides a part of gold coins-the limit is still very large!
Fortunately, Dane has now firmly taken the step of completely controlling Shawan Harbor. The influence of the merchants on the city has declined rapidly in just one or two months. Instead, the will of Dane, represented by Verina, is deeply entering every inch of this port city. corner.
Of course, Dane didn't really defeat those merchants at all—he never thought about really eradicating them all. This is an unrealistic thing. Shawan Port built a city with merchants and defeated and eliminated merchants. Who will make money for him
But controlling the city does not mean that Dane must eliminate the original controller of the city. Under his instruction, Verina's method of dealing with merchants when she was in power at Shawan Port, although it may seem rough, is actually quite clever when combined with the linkage of Dane's entire forces.
Take the Shire United Chamber of Commerce as a breakthrough point to instigate its rebellion, and then through cooperation with them, break the monopoly of the three major chambers of commerce in the past on the Shahaiwan Port trade industry, and then continue to cooperate with the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce with a better attitude to completely expel Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce, this set of combo boxing can be described as beautiful.
At present, the operation of Shawan Port is pretty good, and the plan of the new city government that Velina is preparing is also moving forward at a very fast speed. Before that, the General Affairs Office was still playing its due role, but its influence was now only able to radiate outwards under Verina's control.
The cooperation between Verina and the merchants is still a tacit understanding, and as long as the new government is established, it means that Dane's forces have completely controlled the administrative and economic construction power of the entire Shahai Bay Port. The money Dane brings will soar rapidly.
A tax of 10,000 to 20,000 a month? No, no, this number is too small! After the establishment of the new government, Dane hopes to get at least three times as much money from Shawan Port!
Without such benefits, wouldn't it be useless for him to spend so much time fighting against the merchants
Money will not increase for no reason. Dane will earn tens of thousands of gold coins more every month, which means that someone will earn less. And those who pay this price can only be businessmen.
But they are all businessmen. In fact, the influence they received during the transformation of Wangang is not the same among them.
The Shire United Chamber of Commerce was the least affected. Even, as the first merchant force to fall to Dane, their status in Shawan Harbor has become higher, not to mention losses, and even profits.
As for the others, they are not as nourishing as these Shire people. (To be continued.)
