Demon Royal Family

There were only five noteworthy events in Frigga during this year.

First, there was a heavy display of troops on the border between Barea and Lasces. Small frictions occurred between the two countries from time to time. The reason was that Lasces was dissatisfied with the solution proposed by Barria. Negotiations between the two parties collapsed and border relations became tense. On the Baria side, the Woodpecker Legion and the Falcon Legion were stationed at the border, watching eagerly, and Lases' entire Pegasus Legion was stationed at the border, always in a state of war readiness. Barea did not dare to formally declare war and attack, and at most tried to test and friction. Lasces' style was calm and unmoved, like an iron wall.

The relationship between the two countries is tense, but this is only a superficial phenomenon. In fact, the people of Lacese know that the war cannot be fought, and the stalemate represents a fearful attitude. If Barea declares war, it will have to lose at least one legion under the Black Rock Fortress before it has a chance to attack. The border of Lasces, but the Ivy Legion is stationed in the nearest city on the border of Lasces, building a second line of defense that can be dispatched at any time. Even if Barea captures the Black Rock Fortress, it will be attacked head-on by the Ivy. , so the people of Lasces have no worries.

The second one is a good thing. Unlike Barea and Laces, the southern Renault Kingdom has ushered in a long-lost peace. The orcs led by the Earth Wolf Clan have fully retreated. The war-torn southern part of the Renault Kingdom has begun to resume production and repairs. The southern border line is heavily guarded and it is unlikely to be invaded by orcs in the next few years.

The third is Gaudes, Queen Kelis ascends the throne, Ivo is a participant in this matter, and there is no need to see the intelligence.

The fourth was picked out by Ivo himself. It was a rumor in Barria that Awell, who was known as the "Red Panther", was actually engaged to someone. Awell was an anomaly in the circle of Barria aristocrats. He had a tough style, radical behavior, and was also a hunter. The new commander-in-chief of the Eagle Legion, her status as a princess is often overlooked. The person Aiweier is engaged to is the president of a transcontinental chamber of commerce, and is said to be a member of the Southern Continent Federal Libra Alliance.

The Libra Alliance is a large-scale chamber of commerce organization. Only giant businessmen operating across continents are eligible to join. The continent of Carthage, which has a fanatical pursuit of wealth, is the best soil for the development of the chamber of commerce.

Ivo also has the last letter on his body, which was given by Mork, and the recipient is also a member of the Libra Alliance.

The fifth news, however, shocked Ivo. It was closely related to him. The president of the Royal Academy of Lascelles, Marquis Maisiebo, passed away a few months ago. Young Daimari became the head of the Delen family.

Daimari is the grandson of Mai Xibo. His father died young. Both uncles are typical aristocratic wastes who indulge in enjoyment. They cannot shoulder the family responsibilities and cannot compete with Daimari. Moreover, Maixibo's will also allows Daimari to take over as the head of the family.

There is a process for the inheritance of the Lassese nobles. Daimari succeeds as the head of the Delen family, and is temporarily given the title of marquis. It needs to go through various investiture ceremonies and family ceremonies before the royal family will officially grant the title of marquis to Daimari.

Daimari becoming the head of the Delen family might... definitely bring him some trouble. However, Ivo is not afraid. He is not what he used to be, and it is imperative to fulfill the challenge agreement.

Before that, Ivo decided to find a stable way of making money for the Hurricane Group.

…

With resources at hand, there are many choices. The hurricane team is not big or small. How to create enough profits with limited manpower is a question that Ivo is thinking about.

There are many ways to make money. You can make money by doing business, accepting employment, or even using Ma Di's connections to obtain the mining rights of mineral veins for free. The first two methods take too long to get back the profit, while the latter is a good choice, but there are safety concerns. , it is easy to expose the relationship or inside story of the Hurricane Group. The reason is also easy to understand. Those chambers of commerce spent a lot of money to exchange for the mining rights from Madi and jointly mined a mineral vein. They are competitors. The Hurricane Group entered the scene rashly. will be subject to suspicion and investigation.

And the minerals need sales, Ivo has only two options, one is to cooperate with Jinmeili, but Bilis is a shrewd chamber of commerce president. She will measure the profit difference between purchasing ores from the Hurricane Group and purchasing mining rights. In the short term, , the former can save a large amount of money to purchase mining rights, but in the long run, Bilis will obviously choose the latter. Although this vein is small, it is enough to mine for three or four years, and the profit from selling it is obvious. Far inferior to mining it yourself.

The second is to cooperate with the Black Rose Chamber of Commerce. Ivo will not choose it. The reason has been mentioned. The industry that uses the Dark Eye will definitely attract attention.

It was not safe enough and sales were limited, so Ivo could only give up the mine temporarily.

After careful consideration, Ivo decided to build an industry. Food, clothing, housing and transportation were the most important needs. However, Liema Town had a large population, so the market in this area was already saturated, and the money came in too slowly.

What makes money the fastest?

Magic items! Alchemical items! These are huge profits!

After thinking for a long time, Ivo felt that the feasibility was very high. The population of Liema Town was very mobile, and mercenaries, travelers, and caravans all passed through here. These were all potential customers. The dangers of Frigga's wilderness were well known. A magic item Or alchemy items are a guarantee of life, and there is never a shortage of demand. Even if they are expensive, mercenaries and caravans still flock to them.

The only problem is that manufacturers are hard to find. Enchanting, alchemy, and potions are expensive side jobs. They are all talents. There are a lot of forces willing to hire them. Enchanting, alchemy, and potions require a lot of practice and consume huge amounts of materials. Many craftsmen accept the influence. The motivation for hiring is to practice skills. The contract is usually to split the profit of each product sold half way. The craftsmen provide the technology, and the influence provides the raw materials and opens up the market. Therefore, they usually only cooperate with the big influence. The Hurricane Group is obviously not attractive.

Of course, unattractive refers to before Ivo's arrival.

Turning his eyes slightly, Ivo sketched a rough blueprint in his mind and said to himself: "I'm trying to fool people again..."

…

Before establishing the industry, there were some small things that needed to be dealt with. Ivo was very dissatisfied with the structure of the Hurricane Regiment. He eliminated the deputy commander and three other senior members, keeping power firmly in his hands, and raised Manu to four People's remuneration was divided into compensation as compensation. Originally, the four Manu people were just forced by Ivo's strength and did not dare to resist. Seeing that Ivo compensated them, they felt much better.

Ivo slightly adjusted the structure of the Hurricane Regiment. The official leader was still Stonehoof, and Gavin was Stonehoof's deputy. He asked Gavin to choose some trustworthy people and secretly organize an intelligence network. If only Stonehoof and Gavin are the terminals of the intelligence network, such a structure is too fragile. Ivo needs to add trustworthy intelligence leaders on the basis of confidentiality.

His idea was to set up a secret core organization in the Hurricane Regiment, fully responsible for the intelligence network, but without a suitable leader, the stone was stuck, and Gavin lacked the ability. The initial preparation for this structure was very trivial. For the verification and evaluation of members, the transmission of information to superiors and subordinates, the reward system, etc., Ivo has a suitable candidate in his mind.

Paro!

Most of Lacese's Eye of Darkness forces are run by Paro, who has rich management experience. Ivo really wants to instigate him and let him break away from the Eye of Darkness and use it entirely for his own use. The specific operation needs long-term planning.

After solving these trivial matters, Ivo went straight to the center of Liema Town. The lord's longhouse was also renovated and expanded, and the area became larger.

In the lord's longhouse, Ivo successfully met Madi.

Madi's figure became even fatter, like a round ball of flesh, his face was red, and he didn't look like a person who had lost an arm at all.

After Madi kissed Ivo's ring, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Although Madi is now rich, he knows very well that the person who brought him all this is Ivo, and he is grateful and respectful.

Ivo was not polite to him. He spread out the map of Liema Town, pointed at an area with the most traffic, and said, "I want a few big enough stores, right at this intersection."

Madi lowered his head: "I will obey your will."

"There's still something you need to do."

Ivo took out a piece of paper and handed it to Madi. Madi read it carefully with a look of astonishment on his face, "Is this...useful?"

"Just do as you are told." Ivo smiled slightly.

"Okay...I will organize people to prepare these things."
