"...Yungeshandra Province is located in the north of the Liedeng Mountains and the Yunshige Hills, reaching the sea, with little flat land and arable land. It is bordered by Bailu Lake in the south, surrounded by swamps. There is only a long and narrow corridor-like plain in the middle that can be cultivated , the population is not large. According to the census, the current total population of the province is 580,000, which already includes the family armed army of the Duke of Florida and the 170,000 immigrants who migrated with it. Three hundred and eighty-one people..."
"... After more than four months of exploration and investigation, we found three mineable iron ores in the Lieden Mountains and Yunshige Hills, two of which can be classified as high-quality mines. One gold mine with medium reserves is expected to be mined every year The value is about 500,000 goldford, and there are seven copper mines, all of which are small reserves. In addition, there are 20 valuable ore resources that can be exploited. The ore with the largest reserves is Baikui soil, which is a kind of high-grade Good pottery clay for producing white pottery. After research, we believe that white kui clay can be used to form a large-scale pottery industry, making it a famous specialty product in Yungeshandra Province... "
"...if a dam is built along Bailu Lake and the border of the territory, the swampy area of Yungeshandra Province can be reclaimed into nearly ten million mu of good farmland, and not only can the barren Yungeshandra Province become a As a large grain-growing province, it can also take advantage of its proximity to Bailu Lake to develop fishing processing and aquaculture. At the same time, we also recommend that the fields adjacent to the mountains in the northwest be vigorously planted with flax and fine hemp to develop the textile industry... "
"...According to the comprehensive survey and exploration report of Yungeshandela Province, we have formulated a five-year development plan, which requires 300,000 to 400,000 labor and a budgeted development fund of 7 million Jinford. It will take five years to develop Yunge All the infrastructure in Shandela Province will undergo a comprehensive transformation, and the arrangement of various plans and the layout of industrial development will be initially completed... ”
On December 16, 1785 in the general calendar of the Galintia Continent, Lord Sedkamp was appointed by Lorist as the person in charge of conducting a comprehensive survey and exploration of Yungeshandra Province in the Duchess of Flanders. Accompanied, he returned to Bear Bear City, and reported the results of the investigation and the plan to develop Yungeshangdela Province to Lorist and the senior family members.
As Lorist's personal servant when he was a child, Soderkamp was considered a late bloomer. After Lorist returned to the Northland, he left Lorist's side to take charge of the specific affairs of the family's territory development. He was conferred the title of Baronet by Lorist during the New Year's celebration last year. Sedkamp, who was born as a servant, was able to become a nobleman. On the one hand, it was Lorist's appreciation, and on the other hand, it was the result of his hard work.
After being appointed by Lorist as the supervisor responsible for the joint development of Yungeshandela Province, he dutifully led nearly a hundred family officials and technical experts to complete the cloud project in more than four months with the cooperation of the Duke of Florida. The comprehensive investigation and exploration in Geschandra Province made him lose weight. His diligence also made the Duke of Flanders admire him very much. He lamented how many talents the Norton family has...
However, the huge development fund of 7 million goldfords is also a considerable burden for the Norton family. Director Speer firmly opposes the joint development of Yungeshandra Province by the Norton family and the Forendo family. He thinks that if it is two or three million, the Norton family can lend it to the Duke of Flanders. After all, these gold blessings are the family's reserves, and they will not give birth to small gold coins in the treasury. Interest is available.
But the development funds of 7 million yuan are more than half of the family's reserves, and the risk of lending them out for joint development is too great. The current reserve of the family is only 13 million Goldford, especially since Lorist is planning to build a large-scale palace complex in the southeastern outskirts of Bear City to demonstrate the power and influence of the Norton family. The terrain has been designed, and it is estimated that it will cost at least three million Jinford.
Director Speer couldn't imagine the consequences of the family with only three million reserves left. What would happen if there was a natural disaster or a sudden disaster? For other families, three million Gold Fords is enough for them to live happily ever after, but for the Norton family, which occupies the entire Northland with more than two million people, if there is any catastrophe, it will be three years later. A million gold dollars is not enough to get between the teeth. Director Speer is already worried about Lorist's frequent whimsical decisions, can't those lovely Jinfords stay in the family's warehouse, so that Director Speer can sleep with peace of mind? …
"Your Highness, why did you suddenly decide to build a large-scale palace complex in the southeastern suburbs? Although the situation is calm now, it doesn't mean that we can enjoy life to the fullest..." Fatty Shi, who also couldn't hold back his doubts, came directly to Lorist questioned what happened.
Lorist smiled wryly. This is the limitation of the times. Fatty Shi is considered an astoundingly talented person in the aristocratic circle of the Antinac Kingdom. chief knight. But Fatty Shi also didn't find the economic crisis hidden in the calm situation.
In the past few years, although Lorist led the family's armed forces to fight in the four central duchies for two years, the development of the family's territory did not stop. Since the population of the North Land reached more than two million and the shortage of manpower was alleviated, the family territory was thriving and the economy developed rapidly. But the premise is that the family’s large-scale development of the Northland has driven demand. Now the overall development of the Northland has either been completed or is approaching the end. Once these large-scale territorial development projects are gone, the industrial and mining workshops inside the family’s territory will flourish. The production scene will suffer from a cold winter and heavy losses.
"Have you read the family financial report in charge of Speer this year and Baron Baron's report on the development of industrial and mining workshops in the family territory?" Lorist asked.
Without the objection and interference of the badly related director Hansk, Papa Barek, who was in charge of the development of the family's industrial and mining workshops, was finally awarded the title of baron by Lorist because of his dedicated service for the family for more than ten years. The baron, from a foreman in charge of the family's small copper mine to a territorial nobleman, is also a very inspirational example.
"I've read it. The family's financial income is good this year, and the income reserve of two million goldfords has been increased. This is the first time our family has achieved such a high net profit income. I have also read Baron Barek's report. Last year and this year, the number of various industrial and mining workshops in the Northland increased by more than 1,300, most of which were invested and opened by the honored nobles and businessmen who transferred to our family. These investments made our family's industrial and commercial tax revenue last year The income has doubled. Now the development momentum of the business of the family territory is very good, and this year is expected to reach a new high in income..." Fatty Shi has a very good memory, and he knows all the key figures clearly.
Lorist shook his head, picked up another document from the desk, and handed it to Fatty Shi: "Look at this, I specially asked Schward to send someone down to investigate."
Fatty Shi took it over and saw that it was a thorough investigation by the Volibear Intelligence and Investigation Bureau on all industrial and mining workshops in the family territory. One aspect of the investigation was very simple, that is, the inventory of products produced by these industrial and mining workshops.
After opening the document, Fatty Shi read aloud: "Forty percent, thirty-eight percent, thirty-two percent, forty-one percent..."
"Your Highness, this is..." Fatty Shi seemed to have thought of something, and looked up at Lorist.
Lorist picked up the fruit wine on the table, poured himself a glass, and signaled Fatty Shi to take it easy: "The economic development momentum of the family territory in the past two years is mainly due to these factors. In two years, we placed a purchase order of 2 million gold for the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, all of which are produced by our family’s industrial and mining workshops. The second factor is that the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce has obtained the permission of the Grand Duke of Fesabrun to go deep into the Northeast. Grasslands traded with the Grassman tribe. The year before last, the value of goods was one million, and this year it was two million, which was almost double that of last year.
The third factor is the internal needs of our family. The 400,000 refugees who migrated from the central region have settled down and have some savings. They need to purchase some necessary daily necessities and consumables for their families and relatives, as well as science and technology Dan is responsible for the rectification and construction of the Northland transportation facilities. The nearly 70,000 mountain laborers also need a lot of meat, ale, and some daily necessities.
These three demand factors have caused the various industrial and mining workshops in our family territory to fall into non-stop production and expansion. At the same time, more people are optimistic about the development of this aspect and have invested in the establishment of these industrial and mining workshops and processing plants that produce daily necessities. That's the real reason our family estate looks to be thriving this year. "
Lorist drank the fruit wine in the golden cup in one gulp: "Remember what I told you once? Most businessmen are profit-seeking and lack foresight. They are businessmen. They are greedy for the peaceful and peaceful living environment in the Northland and the profits brought by the large-scale production orders, and they have invested in the construction of various industrial and mining workshops in our family territory.
A lot of investment is a good thing, but all they are chasing after two huge purchase orders can turn a good thing into a bad thing. If you look at this survey report, you can find that most of the industrial and mining workshops built by these businessmen in our Northland are industries already owned by our family territory. If these production units in the same industry are not sure enough to sell the goods they produce In the case of a quantitative market, it will only bring about vicious competition and price reduction. When they produce too many commodities that cannot be sold, the consequence is bankruptcy and bankruptcy, and then we will wipe their ass. "
Fatty Shi already understood the meaning of Lorist's words: "Your Highness, is there something wrong with the purchase order of the Feisabrun family and the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce?"
Lorist nodded: "The Fisabrun family's purchase order of nearly two million goldfords per year in the past two years is actually showing favor to our family. I told you before that they don't need so much life at all. Most of the materials and supplies are resold to the Caoman tribe. After two years of transactions with the Caoman tribe, the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce has also determined the total amount of purchases from our family's production units.
Everything has a limit, just like the Fesabulun family and the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, there is also a limit for their trading volume with the Caoman tribe. Although there are many grassman tribes, most of them are very poor. Whether they buy the daily necessities and supplies that the Fesabrun family resells or the goods brought by the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, they all have a consumption quota and limit. They will not be able to consume this limit.
A few days ago, Grand Duke Fessabrun gave me a clear answer that this year they plan to purchase less than one million goods from our family. And the Duke of Kenmes has also confirmed the purchase order for going to the northeast prairie to trade with the grassman tribe next year, which is only 1.2 million goldford.
That's why I ordered Schwader to investigate those industrial and mining workshops that are desperately producing and borrowing money for expansion. When they find that the products they produce cannot be sold, they will be finished. This will have a very bad impact on our Northland. Looking at the map, we will find that the market where we can actually sell products is that the Northland is surrounded by several provinces. Other places either cannot open the market or those places cannot afford our products. "
"I think I understand what His Highness means. The purpose of building the palace complex in the southeastern outskirts of Nuxiong City is to stimulate the internal demand of the family territory..." Fatty Shi said thoughtfully.
"No, that's just a small aspect." Lorist laughed: "In January next year, I will announce the purchase order of the Feisabrun family and the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce. I believe this news will make a large number of people in the family territory The industrial and mining workshops are in chaos, and if the goods they produce cannot be sold, they will go bankrupt and close down. So next year, your task is to be responsible for rectifying and supporting these industrial and mining workshops in the family territory.
The rectification is to let the same industry only need to keep two to three production units, and assign purchase orders to them for production so that they can form a competitive relationship with each other to ensure quality and product progress.
The support is to provide financial support to those new industrial production units in the family territory that have not yet been established, and encourage them to grow and develop. Now the situation facing the family is not tense, and there are no enemies around. This is a rare period of peaceful development. Therefore, those backward production units should be eliminated in the family territory, and the construction of new industrial production units should be encouraged.
For example, the palace complex I plan to build will be built with more high-end materials. Now it is not the war-torn Northland. A peaceful and peaceful life will allow people to gradually improve their enjoyment of life. Therefore, setting up some production units of high-end daily necessities and consumables early will enable us to always take the initiative in the market and gain Big profits.
Also, I decided to invest in the territory of the Duke of Volund and develop Yungesandra Province with them to cultivate the market. If you think about the development of Yungesandra Province in five years, it will add one more product to our family territory. Sales Market. Money must enter the market in order to function, rather than storing it in the family treasury as Director Speer advocates to be safe... ”
On February 4, 1786 in the common calendar of the Galintia continent, the Norton family and the Forendo family signed an agreement to jointly develop the Yungeshandela province. The Norton family will provide the Forendo family with development funds of 7 million goldford within five years, and send an advisory group headed by Baron Sudkamp to assist the Forendo family in implementing the territory development plan. Five years later, the Forendo family will repay the development investment to the Norton family, 2 million a year, and the total repayment amount will be 10 million Jinford within five years.
