Realm of Power

In the morning, Rizhiding, filled with morning mist, wakes up from the hustle and bustle. The sounds of horse racing and the cries of merchants mix together, forming a unique morning view of Rivadin City. The big-bellied merchant ships on the pier come and go like carps crossing the river. Go in and out, and water will flow out at the gate of the waterway. Wave, the wharf is filled with all kinds of merchant ships, and the white sails are like a dense forest. The merchants affectionately call this place the "Golden Forest". This is the area with the highest concentration of goods in Zhivadin, and more than half of the trade in Zhivadin The quota is completed here,

"Six boxes of crystal coats of arms, eight boxes of pink pearls. Province of Salanderdomiris

. "The Registrar of Zhivadin Pier skillfully recorded the quantity and name of the cargo on the ship. This Registrar is a very sunny young man with a slightly dark complexion and a trace of rosiness on both sides of his cheeks. This is the result of being exposed to the sea breeze all year round. "Beside him, more than a dozen dock workers were struggling to pull the wheel axle to lift hundreds of kilograms of cargo from a large merchant ship that was tilted like a crescent moon.

Since Samor signed a trade agreement with Salander in early January, the number of merchants in Salander has gradually increased.

Because there is a naval escort from the Hurin clan and Dillens. The stable southern sea trade line has grown from a few merchant ships at the beginning to more than a dozen merchant ships now. Countless novel and precious goods are continuously transported from the south. They are the upstarts in the Zhivadin trade order, and their trade volume has also increased from What started as tens of thousands of gold coins has expanded to millions now, and there are even ships bearing the emblem of the Salander royal family.

The ships of this unique island nation are just like their enchanting dancers and sea pearls that are famous on the mainland, they are both elegant and exquisite.

The hull has graceful arcs on both sides of the bow and stern, curving upwards, outlining a beautiful crescent moon, and the sides of the ship are decorated with exquisite carved patterns. Because the Salanders believe that the Moon Goddess is their protector, only the moon can carry them safely across the ocean. Such a carved ship is more like a huge and exquisite sculpture than a merchant ship.

The record officers and workers on the dock are directly under the Admiralty Department under the Governor's Palace of Rimauding. Some of them are official Samor officers. Except for the Governor's Palace, no one else has the right to interfere with them. All goods entering and leaving the port must have Only with qualified visas can they pass through, which basically eliminates the possibility of smuggling into Zhivadin by water transport.

Their treatment and salary are above average in the Samor army, and some of the worker captains are Army Academy interns from the Samor War College. Strong physique and familiarity with the Samor water transport network are things they must master. Most of the naval interns serve as registrars. Many of them come from the islands in the Moron Sea and the Hulin tribe. They have experienced sea training since they were young. Have good sea navigation skills

experience

But as a Samorian navy who will expand the maritime power of Samor in the future, Fatty’s

higher

Not only do they need to know the sea area well; they must also be involved in the complex water transportation network within the kingdom. Freight and commerce will be their main responsibilities in the future. Zhivadin Pier, known as the Golden Forest, is the best internship place,

There are fleets and goods from all over the continent. All interns will start their Samor military career here, and it is also a reminder to them,

The world is very big, and they cannot just focus on the three-thirds of an acre of Samour. Their goal should be the vast continent, the boundless and unknown ocean. Every officer who graduates from the academy must do an internship at the Zhivadin port. Three months, this is the military order issued by the Governor-General.

The fat man was walking on the streets of South Street wearing an ordinary businessman's clothes. He was accompanied by a girl with slightly dark skin and a pretty face. Her head was wrapped in a fire-colored red scarf. She was just an ordinary water-colored long skirt with a black body. Her long hair hangs down from her red scarf, her steps are light and elegant, and her figure is slim and slender.

The girl was very interested in the prosperity of Zivadin. She would stop and ask questions from time to time, just like a lively oriole. The fat man was also smiling happily beside her. The beautiful girl occasionally showed a bit of brightness and stubbornness while talking and laughing.

Although she is not a peerless beauty, her natural heroic temperament has a unique and attractive temperament.

A silly fat man and a beautiful girl with a unique temperament were chatting and laughing, and there were several guards behind them. This unique appearance attracted the attention of passers-by from time to time, and they secretly guessed which young master of the family should be accompanying them when shopping.

For fear of being too ostentatious, the Samor swords of Hu Keqili and the guards who followed him were replaced by knight swords. There was a distance between the guards and the two.

When an adult is chatting with a beautiful woman, no one would be so discreet as to join in the fun, not to mention that this girl is the heir to the growing prestige of the Lilin clan.

Poseidon, Hu Lun Feilin, this is the highest praise the Samor sailors have for Hu Lun Felin. One is the governor of Samor, and the other is the future heir of the Hu Lun tribe. They are both powerful overlords.

In a sense, this can be regarded as the highest-level meeting between Samor and the Hulin people.

This time the Hulin tribe sent Hu Lun Feilin, an important heir, to Rivadin. In addition to being responsible for the construction of the Hulin tribe's trading branch in Rivadin. He also brought something that shocked the fat man very much.

interest,

Some of the goods from Salander's caravan were destroyed at the Zhivadin trading post. Seized! Thousands of boxes of goods were secretly squeezed out of the trading station. The blow to the newly established Samor Sea Trade was fatal.

This hidden buckle incident was coupled with Kyoto's mistakes. Fatty was completely outraged and decided to investigate the matter himself.

Fatty and his group walked into South Street where the dock is located. A row of tall white mansions appeared on Guangping not far away, where was once the famous "Ten Miles Long Red Street" in Rivadin

It is now the No. 1 Trading House of Samour, and the three-hinged logo of the Business Alliance hangs on the gate of Guangpyeong of the building.

A dense flow of people came and went, and rows of freight carriages parked neatly at the door of the building. It was dark, like groups of troops waiting for review,

"Let's go! We can go pick up the goods!" A businessman came out excitedly, waving a white voucher in his hand, and walked outside to wait for the freight carriage. Several freight carriages passed by the fat man.

Hukoqili and several guards came up from behind, pointed to the largest three-story building in the distance and said, "Sir, that is the first trading building of Zhivadin. The Salander caravan reported the issue of impounding goods. Most of them are concentrated in this trading post! Especially the things about the Arnason family are here."

"This is Samor's big trading post? I've only heard of it from merchants before. This is the first time I've seen it. I didn't expect it to be so big!" Hu Lun Feilin, who came from the sea, saw such a spectacular carriage for the first time. The crowd couldn't help but open their mouths from ear to ear in surprise,

Shui Lingling's eyes looked around curiously, wondering, "Although this place is very big, it can't hold too much cargo, so what are these empty cargo carriages parked here for?"

The fat man smiled slightly, "Miss Felin doesn't know yet, in order to facilitate merchants to trade nearby and save trade and transportation costs, our Samor Business Alliance has set up two large trading stations in South Zivadin Street. This is one of them, and it is mainly responsible for For the southern trade, merchants can negotiate here first, and then take the merchant alliance’s freight carriage to the Rivadin Terminal to unload the goods, which will not only facilitate the merchants but also ensure the safety of the goods!”

Hu Lunfilin's face was surprised at first, and then he said with emotion, "This time my mother asked me to come to Zhivadin in person. In addition to reflecting Salander's demands, she also asked me to see more and learn more about the situation in the south. Along the way, , carriages are like rivers, people live and work in peace and contentment, nobles I have been able to get along well with the common people. The mountains in the south are notoriously poor. But under the governance of the adults, in just one year, the south has become the richest region in Wikiia. How can it be so amazing! Don’t let Felin feel emotional”

Hu Lun Feilin paused for a moment, then gently saluted the fat man in public, "Hu Lun Feilin would like to thank you here first."

The fat man looked confused and asked curiously, "What does Miss Felin mean?"

Hu Lun Feilin looked at the fat man's naive expression and said with a refreshing smile, "Feilin, this is the sentiment you taught me, Mr. Xie. Our Hu Lun City is currently advocating for the recent smuggling of freight, because it involves too many tribes, and my mother Dazuo is also worried about it. . If you adopt this method, adults , controlling the source when unloading goods at the dock can not only save merchants the inconvenience of cargo transshipment, but also control the smuggling of goods without offending the tribe. It really kills two birds with one stone. Your Excellency is indeed worthy of the legendary God of Commerce. He said this in just a few words! Big problems become invisible”

"God of Commerce?" Fatty said with a look of astonishment on his face, "Don't they always call me Lord Zhenluo? This is the first time I've heard this nickname!"

Hu Lun Feilin smiled sweetly and said, "My lord is really funny. This is not a title from the mainland, but a title from Salander in the south. The legend of your undefeated leadership and godly business has already spread to overseas island countries!" The fat man sighed. Tone: "These are just rumors and rumors. They cannot be taken seriously. Things in this world , There are advantages and disadvantages. The business network of the Business Alliance spans the entire Virginia, with tens of thousands of members. There are also branches in Kugit and Lud, and now there are also branches in Sa. The Rand branch’s network reaches thousands of miles away. Who dares to say that he can fully control it all? The secret seizure of Salander’s goods is a wake-up call!”

Hu Lunfeilin said, "Why do you blame yourself so much? Businessmen are pursuing profits. I believe this is just a secret move by some nose people. With Samor's ability, I believe this will be solved soon!"

The fat man said with a heavy face, "If this is all, that's enough. However, in the past six months or so, the legion headquarters has received more and more reports from soldiers stationed in Samor that businessmen are arrogant and domineering. Vicious competition between businessmen often occurs. For There is nothing unexpected about this situation. Businessmen buy low, sell high, and pursue maximizing profits. If everyone follows the rules, what else is there to do?

meaning,

The fat man paused and hummed, "But there is one situation that is absolutely not allowed. Some big businessmen actually try to interfere with the affairs of the garrison. The army is the cornerstone of everything in Samor. This is not something that the most profit-maximizing businessmen can touch. , I don’t care who he is, anyone who touches this line will only die!”
