Chapter 425 (1/2)
Silver Moon Bay.
Huge ports, hordes of magical ocean going ships come and go, bringing a huge amount of goods and materials, food, slaves, horses, armor and weapons, and so on.
Now, in addition to the magic guild, nearly half of the world's top 100 chamber of Commerce organizations in the world have business relations with Starwood kingdom. Therefore, no matter what resources Qin Feng needs, it will be easier to meet them, as long as he can pay for the goods in full.
Although the total amount of goods and materials transported each month was astonishing, Qin Feng was still a little worried and tried to increase the various reserves of the kingdom. At present, mityin can still exchange things. When the country becomes bigger and bigger and starts to cause tension among those big powers, a comprehensive trade embargo is completely possible. Therefore, some things have to be prepared for the rainy days now, and have already made plans.
“…… Your majesty, the Kingdom's grain reserves have been able to meet the needs of all the people for three years. ”
in the prosperous market near the port, Qin Feng was wandering around in casual clothes. The new cabinet Prime Minister vilam said,” but in your next financial year's purchase plan, grain import is still a key item. Is it necessary to buy so many? There are also young slaves, who have so far purchased nearly two million people. I think they should be enough. ”
He thinks that the Kingdom has spent too much in these two areas, which may affect the investment of other projects. Therefore, he has this question. Since the Kingdom has not been established long ago, there are still many places that need to spend a lot of money, so we need to consider it comprehensively.
”Not enough, far from it!”
Qin Feng flatly rejected his idea and said, ”our kingdom will have at least one million standing armies in the future, which are all built according to the standards of elite legions, and they will have to constantly fight for foreign countries and open up new territories. How long do you think this grain reserve can last
”As for the slaves, the infrastructure in the kingdom is extremely backward, not to mention the cities and mines. There are not even a few decent roads. There are more places to build. Even if there are more slaves, I can find enough work for them.”
”As for the financial problem, you don't have to worry. The kingdom will not be short of money in this respect.”
”Good OK
Villham nodded in agreement. In fact, he also knows that the climate in Northern Xinjiang is cold and the environment is bad, and there are not many places for planting. Therefore, the annual grain output is quite limited. If the country is established, it will have to rely on imports on a large scale.
This is also one of the fundamental reasons why there has been no great power in Northeast China for thousands of years. The cost of maintaining political power is too high. As a result, many big forces finally gave up the layout here after weighing.
Of course, your majesty is the founder of the country. With an ambitious army of one million scale, as well as the logistics force serving this army, millions of people just eat and don't work. They are busy fighting or preparing for war every day. The consumption is really amazing.
Qin Feng continued to roam. This place was originally a small city with limited population and backward facilities. It was not until the Kingdom's army occupied this place that it developed rapidly under its own leadership and investment.
There is nothing like the opportunity to make a fortune that motivates human beings, no matter in any world. Xingshan Kingdom has been recruiting talents from all walks of life all the year round. As a result, thousands of people come from all over the mainland every day.
Naturally, there were spies from many countries. Of course, Qin Feng didn't care much. The system of the kingdom was there. Even spies had to work for the kingdom to get into the system. The middle and high-level officials are basically trained by him. Naturally, they don't have to worry too much.
After a stroll along the spacious street, Qin Feng walked into an equipment store at will, and the chubby shop owner immediately came to greet him warmly.
The scale of the store is quite large. There are a lot of swords, axes and shields on the weapon rack. The cold metal awn and the enchanting brilliance complement each other. Undoubtedly, they are high-quality goods.
Qin Feng took down a double handed Epee, gently waved it for several times, and said with satisfaction, ”it's a good thing. How long has your shop been open? How's business? ”
The boss looked respectful and said with a smile: ”not long ago, less than four months ago, dozens of people in our shop have migrated from the bloman empire. I have a relative who is in charge of the magic wings fire dragon chamber of Commerce. He said that the prospect of this place is good, and suggested that I move here, and I will come here.”
He didn't know the identity of Qin Feng, but he could lift a double handed sword with a weight of more than 100 kilograms, which could never be done by ordinary people. Therefore, he gave a more detailed answer.
There are many skilled craftsmen and apprentices in the shop, as well as four intermediate level magicians in charge of enchanting process. There are also special magic array and alchemy processing equipment in the backyard. Generally speaking, those who can afford to open such an equipment shop belong to the class of rich businessmen.
Qin Feng asked a few more questions, and then packed up the best equipment in the store and left with a bag of gold coins, which made the boss laugh.
”I will send someone to ask him if he is interested in expanding the scale of his business.”On the street, Qin Feng said to vilam: ”the Kingdom has a great demand for high-quality ordnance. You might as well give some orders to such businessmen who come from afar. As long as the quality meets the standards, many materials can be purchased from the people.”
Willam agreed to come down, thought about it and asked, ”does your majesty intend to use the army again?”
Br > ”> after the cold weather in spring and summer, some goods and materials can not be transported in the north of Qinhai Bay because of the cold weather in spring and summer
”Therefore, I think that if we push along the coastline for hundreds of kilometers to the South and grab some excellent ice free ports, the trade and transportation in the future will be much more convenient, and our naval fleet needs better bases for stationing and training.”
A map of the south of the Kingdom appeared in vilam's mind. A pile of principalities and kingdoms gathered here. It was no surprise that they were swept away by the military strength of Starwood kingdom.
However, the rapid expansion of the Starwood Kingdom has caused the fear and anxiety of many small and medium-sized forces in the surrounding areas. Although these countries are not strong in their own strength, they can at least unite to protect themselves, and they are not without backing, such as the churches of gods.
”Sire, I'm afraid the battle will not be easy.”
Vilam frowned and said that he was a senior member of the kingdom who knew the inside story. Last time Luoji, the son of the God of war church, visited Qin Feng, but did not get the expected reply. Therefore, the church was very dissatisfied with Qin Feng.
Although under the influence of the magic guild, Qin Feng's neutral attitude barely won their approval, but it doesn't mean that they are dead hearted.
Therefore, in recent months, these small countries in the South have been secretly expanding their troops and preparing for war, and part of the Church of God of war has secretly entered this area and changed into mercenaries. Why not.
