The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

After the suffering caused by the Black Death epidemic ended, various places began to resume economic exchanges.

The sales of goods and other goods that had to be stopped before have also resumed, including the distribution of newspapers.

The newspaper of the Thorn Chamber of Commerce has successfully stationed in the San Ai Luo Empire, even if the king of the empire wants to repent, it is too late.

What's more, this is the grand prince Warner's personal request to open the newspaper bank in Wangcheng, and the construction has already been completed in advance.

As for the collusion between the mayor and officials of Quincy West and the robbers and the killing of the people, it was published in the newspaper not long before Xia Zuoyi returned to Parshan.

Then, distribute it everywhere.

The originally blocked news spread instantly.

It was written in the newspaper based on the personal and detailed dictation of some of the people who were harmed.

——The objective narrative of the whole incident, which also vaguely mentions that the Quincy West incident is also somewhat related to the San Airo Empire.

As for the discovery of minerals, it will first briefly outline the past.

The point is how the lord of Designia dealt with the mayors and officials who colluded with robbers and persecuted the people-tough wrists, executed on the spot in full accordance with the laws formulated in the territory, and never tolerated.

The significance of this newspaper being sold in various places is entirely to deter some people who also have small thoughts.

A lot of people are talking about what happened in Quincy West.

Especially after that - the black and white cavalry troops occupied several territories on the border of the San Airo Empire like a bamboo, which made people have a lot of talk.

The war between the Decinian territory and the San Aero Empire was also written about in a newspaper section.

Win or lose.

After the newspapers were gradually distributed in the Saint-Aero Empire, the depressed king immediately became ill.

He even wanted to suppress the Thorn Chamber of Commerce's newspaper shop and forcibly shut down the newspaper shop built in the royal city.

But it was stopped by the eldest prince Warner.

Firstly, the establishment and existence of the Newspaper Bank was originally the result of the acquiescence of the royal family.

Turning their faces and denying people now will only make the outside world think that the imperial royal family is small-bellied and has no tolerance for others.

——And the defeat in the war can be said to be entirely the king's responsibility, due to the king's decision-making mistakes.

Secondly, it was just like the terms that Warner and Xia Zuoyi discussed back then.

In fact, a large part of the content that can be issued by this newspaper in the imperial city is controlled by Warner - it is up to Warner to decide whether this newspaper can be circulated in the San Airo Empire.

But this, the king did not know.

Residence of the Grand Prince.

The second prince Ken came here with a newspaper.

He sat in a chair, while Warner leaned against the window and looked out quietly.

After a long while, Ken said first, "Brother, this newspaper has been published all over the empire. What are you going to do next?"

Ken also knows a little about Warner's actions.

Especially in newspapers, he understood that Warner was deliberately creating public opinion.

Warner turned his head, his icy blue eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, but they seemed to disappear without a trace under the sunlight, like an illusion.

He said: "If I want to do something to Kaxiu...Ken, will you soften your heart?"

This sentence made Ken fall into silence for an instant, he had expected Warner's meaning.

"I will not soften my heart, brother."

"I will always stand behind you, but how do you want to deal with Kaxiu?"

Warner: "If he is sensible, I can guarantee that he will still enjoy everything that the royal family enjoys."

"But if..."

You don't need to say all the rest, Ken also understands.

He asked: "Brother, Kaxiu is nothing to be afraid of, even most members of the royal family will stand by your side now..."

"It's the father that we need to think about carefully."

"He is still the king now, and he has the power in his hands to defeat you... If you want to fight against him, are you really sure?"

Ken knew that the publication of the newspaper was only the first step for Warner to shake the king's prestige.

——When the king's decision-making mistakes directly lead to the reduction of the territory and people's uneasy life, then his throne will gradually no longer be consolidated.

But Ken didn't know what Warner planned to do in the future.

Compared with the king, Ken hopes that his elder brother Warner will inherit the throne soon.

In this way, he doesn't have to worry about whether the San Ailuo Empire will eventually be destroyed in the hands of the king.

But Ken was afraid that Warner's integrity would affect his next decisions.

He didn't want Warner to be soft on the king.

After all, the king has been lovingly and carefully nurturing Warner since he was a child to become the crown prince of the entire Saint Airo Empire...

Although the current king is a little confused, he still values ​​Big Brother Warner very much.

"Brother, I understand that you are sure to win the support of the royal family. What I am asking is... will you show mercy to your father?"

Ken said with a serious expression: "Have you really decided to take the throne while your father is still alive?"

He has not been taken seriously since he was a child, and he has no deep feelings for the king or his younger brother Kaxiu.

The only two people he considers relatives are his elder brother Warner and his younger sister Lennar.

Ken cared about Warner.

If there is a choice, then it is impossible to soften their hearts halfway, and they have no chance to repent.

Warner walked to Ken's side and pressed his shoulders a little harder with his fingers: "I'm sure I want to take the throne."

"And for father..."

"My kindness depends on his behavior. I am bound to win the throne. Anyone who stands in the way of my ascension to the throne will be kicked away one by one."

Ken was relieved upon hearing this.

He said, "Brother, I will help you."

…………

Xia Zuoyi didn't know about the upcoming turmoil in the Saint Airo Empire.

He is now talking to Archibald about the merchant ship going to Yaya for business through the port of Wessus.

What Archibald meant was that the original road leading to the southernmost point was firmly controlled by the San Airo Empire, heavy tariffs were imposed, and the price of goods doubled.

Now that there is sea transportation here at Xia Zuoyi, it is natural to give up the route of the Saint Airo Empire.

And if the goods are not restricted, he plans to build a branch of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce in Yaya.

Archibald asked Xia Zuoyi how he planned to set the tax for the seaport.

——Whether the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce and the Thorn Chamber of Commerce have business cooperation and can appropriately reduce the price.

"I helped you, little Zoe." Archibald said, propping his head on one hand.

Xia Zuoyi: "Of course there is no problem opening a branch of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce in Yami."

"In fact, I intend to promote Yami's economic recovery and development as soon as possible. With Nagabi's help, this matter will undoubtedly go more smoothly..."

"But have you ever thought about joining the North-South trade?"

Archibald said seriously when he heard the words: "How do you say?"

Xia Zuoyi: "Some ordinary things in the north are rarely seen or even absent in the south, and some things in the south are the same for the north."

"If the North-South trade is replaced, a lot of profits can be made from it."

Seeing that Archibald was interested, Xia Zuoyi continued, "I plan to build a fleet dedicated to north-south trade first."

"There are not only merchant ships of the Thorn Chamber of Commerce in this fleet, but other chambers of commerce and even some individual merchants can join in."

"Archie, what do you think?"

Xia Zuoyi frowned and said, "Do you want to join?"

Archibald said with a smile: "You want to grab the trade routes of the San Airo Empire?"

"How can you call it robbery?"

"After all, the distance from the Saint Airo Empire to Ami is shorter. If some people feel that the sea route is far away, they can naturally choose to start from the Saint Airl Empire route."

Anyway, no matter what, he came to Yami to do business, and it made no difference to Xia Zuoyi.

He just gave one more choice, so that more people can flow in the territory of Designia and promote economic development.

In addition, the current territory is still the extent of the land far exceeds the distribution of the population.

He needs to attract more talents to settle in the Designia territory.

And not just North-South trade.

Aya needs to be built. First, the infrastructure in the city, etc., and second, the seaport of Aya needs to be the first to improve the facilities and related systems.

He can hand over labor such as cement paving and building houses to foreign caravans by contracting out, and let them find ways to hire more craftsmen and labor.

And these people must have come from outside the territory of Designia.

——As long as there is population movement, there will be population settlement.

Archibald said at this time: "But the sea transportation is no more than the river, and the risk at sea is greater."

"How do you want to attract many merchants so that they will give up the route from the Saint Airo Empire to Yami and come to transport by sea?"

Xia Zuoyi stroked her chin in thought, and suddenly asked, "Do you think killer whales are cute?"

Those big black and white fish?

Archibald nodded.

Xia Zuoyi said: "What do you think of killer whales as the mascots of luck at sea? They are a symbol of luck at sea, and they are also the gospel bestowed by the Creator God."

"Is that all?" Archibald frowned slightly.

He felt that this was not enough to attract foreign merchants to Yaya through the seaport of Versas.

Xia Zuoyi: "What if there is another message?"

"Archie, there are killer whales following Samuel on the Riding Wind to explore the New World."

"And the reason why they searched for the New World smoothly and without any danger along the way is also because of the protection of this group of killer whales."

"These are the things Samuel mentioned to me when he came back."

Xia Zuoyi didn't blush at all when she said these words, after all, there are objective facts.

He said: "If this news is published in the newspapers, do you think it will successfully attract some people?"

He wants to build an image for the killer whale.

But before that, he wants to further improve the law on killer whales-killing whales at sea is prohibited. If found, they will be expelled from the territory if they are found, and they will be punished with death if they are serious.

Archibald: "If such news is published in the newspaper, it will definitely attract a group of businessmen."

Samuel's story and fame at sea is sure to get most people's attention.

Xia Zuoyi thought, so in what form should this matter be presented in the newspaper?

——The text description is too monotonous, and just adding illustrations is not enough to express.

…………

Five days later, when Genna Cosmo arrived in Designia territory, a cartoon published in the newspaper was published.

The name of the comic is Samuel Fern's Adventures at Sea.

For this reason, Xia Zuoyi specially recruited the artist who drew the illustrations for the series of stories of the gods, and put forward some requirements for him to pay attention to - such as picture format, character image, etc.

Afterwards, he went to Samuel again, told him about the matter, asked him to spend more time with the painter, and described some details.

Then, let the painter make appropriate changes.

Xia Zuoyi asked Samuel to describe in words what he saw and heard when he went out to sea to explore the New World and landed on the New World.

——Get rid of the gold, and write more about the clothing, customs, eating habits, etc. that are different from those in the Western Continent.

Xia Zuoyi said to Samuel: "For example, what kind of clothes and accessories will those people wear?"

"When you finish writing this... well, it's called Fern's Travels, this book will definitely be printed and circulated, and the chamber of commerce will also make it based on the clothing and accessories described in the book."

"...adding new twists to the clothes that are sold."

"Samuel, your contribution is great, and I will give you the reward you deserve."

Facing Xia Zuoyi's "candy" temptation, Samuel Fern agreed, and wrote Fern's travel notes with great interest.

Not long after waiting, he saw the cartoon that was published in the newspaper - a round and cute big black and white fish throughout.

…………

What about him?

The author has something to say: Xia Xia: Don’t be sad, although the protagonist of the manga is not you, but the protagonist of Fern’s Travels is.

Samuel: That's not what it said...

Xia Xia: But you are also in the manga.

Samuel: But I'm a supporting role...

The protagonist of "Samuel Fern's Adventures at Sea": Killer whale glutinous rice balls, friendly star: Samuel Fern Xiaxia whispered: I am sorry that this name attracts readers.

Glutinous rice balls: 嘤嘤嘤~
