Chapter 513: Several people sat down These chambers of commerce, large and small, dare to do business in the world, which chamber of commerce does not raise some samurai guards or something There are no high roads in this world, and there are no trains to transport them.
The transportation of goods in the south, east, west, and northwest relied on the wheels and hooves of caravans to measure the land of the empire.
It is normal to walk thousands of miles, and if there is no escort force in the caravan, then I am afraid that some car bandits, road rage and the like, or bandits and horse bandits along the way, will be able to eat you to the bone.
It may be slightly better at home, after all, it is still a royal world, there is a stable imperial government, and the local area is generally peaceful.
But if the business is done in the northwest grassland, or the orcs in the north, then it will be difficult to move an inch without some defensive force.
Therefore, it is really not too difficult for anyone who can break into the chamber of commerce with a lot of money and get armed with a hundred or ten people.
Some of the largest and most elite chambers of commerce, such as the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, or the Liszt family, had thousands of armors in private, although imperial law did not allow merchants to keep private armies.
From the point of view of the imperial legal code, the possession of private armies was the prerogative of a small number of nobles.
But those large, top-notch chambers of commerce will naturally take advantage of loopholes.
He hired or raised some samurai, and to the outside world he only said that he was a porter or an ordinary horseman in a caravan, but in fact, who could care Over time, the empire also understood that this kind of thing could not be forbidden, so it simply turned a blind eye.
Speaking of the elite level of personnel, some caravans have traveled from south to north, and those guards have also seen the world, even seen blood, and experienced some battles, which is certainly incomparable to the whip of Thor, but it is more sophisticated than the local garrisons of the empire in some places.
These thirty-two fortresses thrown by Chen Daolin.
Nominally, it was thrown out for everyone to enter the game, and these thirty-two fortresses were regarded as some hoarding points, supply points, and even cargo transfer stations on the trade routes to the Northern Orc Kingdom, which indeed had considerable value.
Thirty-two fortresses, after a series of auctions, to be precise, are actually called subscriptions.
In less than an hour, it was divided cleanly, or even insufficiently.
Chen Daolin did not treat his own people badly.
Although he refused the Tulip family's request for a portion of Miss Fiona, he allowed the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce and the Liszt family to take advantage of it.
The Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, one would have subscribed to five fortresses if it weren't for Chen Daolin's restrictions.
I'm afraid that the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce will not be able to take ten fortresses.
And the Liszt family is even more imposing, and they occupy three of the largest red fortresses in one go.
As for the inferior blue fortresses, they grabbed five of them at once.
Although other chambers of commerce are a little slanderous, it is not easy to say anything.
The Pompeii Chamber of Commerce made its identity clear and came to subscribe to the signboard that came out of the auction to be Wushuang Fang.
What do you not know what Wushuang Fang is, go to the imperial capital to inquire, this is an industry established by Master Darling and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, that is to say, one of the original owners of this Wushuang Fang is Master Darling himself.
The Northwest Fortress is people's own, and now his own industry has to take a large share, who can say a word As for why the Liszt family occupies more than others Nonsense.
You see that Miss Lordelle, the eldest of the Liszt family, lives in Master Darling's house Haven't you heard of the relationship between this Miss Roddell and Master Darling?
Maybe in another year and a half, even the little mage will be born, and this will be even more of a family, since it is a family.
Master Darling wants to seek some benefits for his wife's family, who can say a word Except for the two behemoths of the Liszt family and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, the other chambers of commerce have never had a situation where one monopolizes several fortresses.
After some competition, the nineteen chambers of commerce with the highest bids were finally made.
The remaining nineteen fortresses were divided.
And the rest of the chambers of commerce, Chen Daolin will not really let them go home empty-handed.
He threw out some business again, saying that he could outsource it for everyone to do.
Since it is foreign trade.
Obviously, this Northwest Fortress Group is about to become the largest trade hub in the northwest of the Empire facing the Orc Kingdom.
It's almost the same as a port city.
Then the goods and wealth collected and distributed here must be massive.
Therefore, there are naturally a lot of financial routes here.
In addition to directly sending caravans out to trade with orcs, there are naturally some other ways to make money.
For example, doing logistics, driving horse dealers, opening cargo stations, and so on.
Even if you don't do that.
In such a large port city, how many people come in and out every day, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all businesses, even if you open an inn or restaurant, you can make a lot of money.
Chen Daolin has made up his mind to establish an interest group, and he has encircled all the chambers of commerce that came this time into his own interest alliance, and all those who have not photographed the fortress have also outsourced these surrounding businesses to everyone.
In the end, a total of more than 30 large and small chambers of commerce groups almost contracted all the business of this northwest fortress group and future foreign trade, from top to bottom, from inside to outside Finally, according to more than 30 chambers of commerce and groups, they contributed money and people, and according to the proportion, each family occupied a part of the shares, and the benefits were distributed.
At the end of one night, everyone was talking enthusiastically, and the leaders or representatives of the Chamber of Commerce who came here were all red-faced, thinking of the upcoming road to wealth, everyone seemed to have a fire burning in their hearts.
And the only one who returned empty-handed was the Tulip family "You didn't make a move" Sitting in her own yard, Fiona pinched the corner of her clothes in her hand hard, gritted her teeth and looked at Lowe: "You just watched those people divide up such a business, and you didn't speak from beginning to end" "Nope."

Lowe shook his head.
"Why," said Fiona angrily, "I dared to leave because you were there."
As a member of the family, you should always strive for some interests for the family."
"Miss Fiona."
Lowe frowned, then sighed, and said slowly, "Did you just ignore a problem?"
"What, what's the problem."
Luo Wei said coldly: "If the family wants to profit from this kind of thing, why should they give this northwest fortress to Darling Chen and directly transfer twenty or thirty thousand troops from within the family."
Instead of the Northwest Division, you can guard the border here, and you can also sit on the ground and collect money. ” “” Fiona was stunned.
She was filled with anger before, but now she calmed down, and was drunk by this Lowe, and suddenly woke up Yes, why should our tulip family share such a big benefit with others, if you want to monopolize it, you can just take the Northwest Fortress in your hands as soon as possible "I've thought about it."
Luo Wei said lightly: "Since the Duke has lost this Northwest Fortress to this Darling Mage, thinking about it, what kind of trade benefits, the Duke should have not taken it to heart for a long time, even from beginning to end."
I didn't want this kind of benefit.
So" With that, Lowe lifted his eyelids and gave Fiona a deep look.
Fiona suddenly calmed down.
The woman's eyes flashed, and she immediately stood up, bowed to Luo Wei solemnly, and said solemnly: "It's my interests, and I lost my square inches, Lord Luo Wei, I thank you, if it weren't for you."
I'm afraid I'm going to make a big mistake."
Du Weiwei stood in front of the mirror, making a gesture of anticipation, and she was wearing a luxurious duke's dress.
And right in front of him, a painter was standing in front of the drawing board.
The pen is like flying, and a lifelike beautiful duchess is vividly displayed on the paper.
Gu Pansheng's posture also has a faint sense of majesty.
It's an extraordinary skill.
Du Wei maintained a posture, but there was no impatience on his face, and he smiled casually.
Said slowly: "So, that guy has solved the problem of troops" The answer to Du Weiwei was a middle-aged man standing a few steps behind the painter.
This person is dressed in a snow-white robe, the texture is very luxurious, but it looks quite a bit dusty and elegant.
Although the appearance is ordinary, those eyes are shining, and they have a bit of wisdom.
This person is the noble man who went to the imperial capital and planned to attack the palace to save people.
That is, the former steward of the Tulip family who brought Fiona back to the northwest to replace him in his own position.
Hearing Du Weiwei's question, the noble man smiled lightly and said, "His strategy is very good.
After I got the news, I was also stunned for a moment, I didn't expect him to make this ability out of nothing so superbly.
An empty group of northwest fortresses has pulled dozens of chambers of commerce into the bureau in this way.
The more than 30 chambers of commerce that came out, each of them, had a maximum of three or four hundred troops, and a few hundred and eighty troops.
And the Liszt family and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce produced more, and the family directly produced 2,000 armor.
In this way, Darling Chen suddenly had no less than 8,000 men.
With his own original manpower, it would not be difficult to make up 10,000 people.
With 10,000 armor, he barely defended the important area of this northwest fortress group, and the fence wall of this defense was also erected. ” Du sighed softly: "It's that I underestimated him."
Hmph, didn't those chambers of commerce see his purpose?"
"Of course you can see it."
The middle-aged nobleman pursed his lips and smiled, and said lightly: "Those businessmen are not fools, so they naturally see the key to it.
Chen Daolin wants people, they want money.
The two sides hit it off.
It's just a matter of taking what you need.
Chen Daolin did not hide his purpose at the beginning, but directly put it on the table to do it, and this alone is very courageous.
Exposing his shortcomings, and directly putting this exchange of interests on the table, not being deceived or being cheated, not being cheated or robbed, this is a conspiracy. ” Du nodded slightly, and suddenly smiled: "The idea is good, but these seven or eight thousand rabble really want to fight."
"With Xiongcheng in hand, the defense is enough.
And the orcs will not really attack the whole country to deal with the general harassing invasion, and it is enough to have these tens of thousands of people.
Besides, the hustle and bustle is all fame and fortune.

This Darling Chen Yili used as bait to fish out more than 30 chambers of commerce in the northwest, and these people will form a group at least for a period of time for the sake of profit.
If anyone wants to destroy their wealth.
The power of these more than 30 chambers of commerce to burst out in a group should not be taken lightly."
Du thought for a moment, and then under the gesture of the painter, he changed his posture, and the servant next to him brought a long sword, and she stood with her hands on crutches before continuing: "It's a pity, sir, the person you recommended to me to succeed you is a little worse than you after all."
She was at Darling Chen.
I almost fell for it.
You must have read Lowe's letter. ” The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Young man, it's not surprising that your mind is a little more anxious, and your heart is a little more meritorious."
She is also for the good of the family.
After all, this Miss Fiona, in the years in the imperial capital, was also a little smoother, and she didn't experience too much in this fierce fight, so she lost a little bit of mental training.
Want to come" Du smiled slightly: "I want her to suffer a few more losses from that Darling Chen, and that's what you mean when you come out of the exercise."
"Fiona has a lot of energy and enthusiasm.
It's all good, and it's okay to have a little less precipitation.
There is also Lowe by her side on the left and right, who can remind her all the time.
I'm very optimistic about Miss Fiona.
Patience and stability.
Slowly there is experience, but that kind of momentum and enthusiasm is really rare.
I, for example, feel old.
Now doing things, gradually only thinking about but seeking no fault and not merit, it is no longer suitable for a young male lord like you. ” Du Weiwei heard this.
His expression became solemn, his eyes turned, he looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "I am really ashamed of your words."
How can there be a wise man like you in my family, and if there is no wise man like you to help me, I am afraid that I will cause many troubles.
If you say that, don't mention it again in the future. ” The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "I am naturally dead for the sake of my family, and I will never dare to spare my life."
It's just that Fiona is a girl, and she can still use it.
I think she's a lot like a person. ” "Like whom" Du Wei's eyes moved.
The middle-aged man smiled lightly: "When you first succeeded to the throne, you did a lot of mistakes, and at that time, I had a headache to sweep away those positions for you." ” Du was slightly stunned, and suddenly smiled: "You mean, Fiona is like me" "The drive and enthusiasm, and the eagerness to do things, are somewhat similar."
The middle-aged man smiled.
Du Weiwei seemed to think for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, you write a letter to Luo Wei, and let him and Fiona stay at Darling Chen's place for a few more days."
Darling Chan is a whetstone, and I'd love to see what he can do with Fiona's knife.
Even if Fiona suffers some losses at Darling Chen, it doesn't matter, anyway, my family has a big business and can afford to lose.
If you can grind out a talent who can take charge of yourself, you can also earn it. ” The middle-aged man bowed slightly: "You have such a heart, it is really a blessing for the family." ” After a pause, he said slowly: "The Northwest Fortress" "Let him toss."
Du Weiwei said lightly: "Originally, it was an idle move, it was good to have some effect, but it was useless for the time being, so I left it there and let him go."
Our top priority right now is the west.
Those guys on the prairie."
"They have a big appetite."
The middle-aged man smiled, but his smile was a little mocking: "It's just that these guys will never understand how big a bowl to eat and how much to eat."
Now the king of the steppe was eager to incorporate all the men over the age of fifteen into his army of iron cavalry, and the momentum was already overwhelming.
I heard that in the golden tent of the royal court, someone has already shouted the slogan of destroying the Roland Empire and making the king of the grassland the emperor. ” "Oh" Du was slightly stunned: "I heard that three days ago, their slogan was still hit to Lengquan Pass" "Yes, now their slogan has changed to hit the imperial capital and drink the Lancang River."
The middle-aged man said seriously: "Whoever has hundreds of thousands of cavalry in his hands will become more angry." ” "Good, good."
Du smiled slightly, stroked his palm, and said: "I'm not afraid that they have a big appetite, the bigger the appetite, the better."
I've already set up this big table, but I don't know, this time, how many people are seated."
Speaking of this, a murderous aura flashed in those wonderful eyes To be continued “”:
