Power and Empire Chapter 3305: Nan Fenglie (9)
When the fat man heard Audrey say such a thing, he couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth, shrugged, and showed a smile. "You are sure that you are right. I was already disappointed with Fei Shan, even Prays. Such senior administrative officials feel powerless about Fei Shan’s development environment. What other development plans can you make, the daughter of a big family? If you just want to use this to attract my attention, then I can Frankly speaking, it didn't work for me!"
Audrey blushed tenderly, gritted her teeth, raised her small white chin, and said crisply under the fat man’s eyes like an unconvinced swan, "If your majesty doesn’t want to believe it, it’s fine, although I don’t know. What kind of person is that Lord Praias, but what he saw was Fei Shan now, and he didn’t know that for more than a hundred years since Fei Shan was founded, the kingdom’s elites did not seek for Fei Shan’s strength. Even to a certain extent, Fei Shan has indeed found a powerful path, but for some reason, this path finally couldn't go down!"
"Is there such a thing?"
The fat man touched the bridge of his nose with his hand, his eyes flashed.
In the past half month of contact, he knew that although this woman is arrogant, she does things in an eclectic manner. Otherwise, she would not be encouraged to sink all the Fei Shan nobles into the sea, and this woman, really After doing so, ordinary men don’t have this courage and courage. Judging from the slightly reddish expression in Odili’s eyes, it doesn’t seem like a confession
"Sixty years ago, when Fei Shan was at its heyday, although Fei Shan's navy looted and dominated the inland seas and grabbed a lot of resources for Fei Shan, Fei Shan had another industry that was not as powerful as the navy, but it was also It was the highest in the entire Inland Sea, and it flourished for a while, and the Fei Shan Navy said it was one of the two carriages that drove the Fei Shan Kingdom forward, covering the entire Fei Shan coast, and the central port of Badya Port is also lit up all year round because of this industry. It is clear that 30% of the tax revenue of the entire Feshan Kingdom at that time came from the income of this industry. When the Strands rose to challenge Feshan’s naval hegemony, they also used to encircle the port of Badia, the center of this industry, to pay our fees. The main force of the Shan Navy’s introduction of the ambush ring finally led to the fiasco of the Fei Shan Navy, a summary of the golden age." Audrey saw the fat man believe a little bit, her pretty face lifted excitedly, her eyes flashed with a hot yearning look. "Now Although Feishan did not have the strength of the navy at that time, it was the same when he switched to the Imperial Navy."
"Slow down, you said...it's not the black market and the gambling industry, right?" The fat man raised his hand and interrupted Audrey. He blinked and took a deep breath of winter. This woman Really caught some real things
"Your Majesty really has eyes like a torch!"
Audrey's cheeks were red and hot, she nodded fiercely, and said in a condensed voice, "Fei Shan’s golden age was not just a naval raid, but a series of events brought about by the rise of the navy. The most famous of these industries is Badia, the central city of Feshan Harbor, which is now known as the empire of the city that never sleeps, but it was the Port of Badia sixty years ago!"
Referring to Feshan’s strong era, Audrey showed unsustainable excitement and pride on her face, which means that Feshan is now annihilated by the empire, but sixty years ago, Feshan’s naval battleship The sails cover the inner sea, and the ships going to and from Badya are endless. The empire still doesn't know where to avoid it!
"Reinvigorate Badya?"
Fatty touched the bridge of his nose subconsciously again. He didn't care about Audrey's little bit of care.
The reason why he values Audrey is that Audrey is an ambitious woman. In this era, if there is no such ambition, even if the empire is willing to support, let him become the spokesperson of the empire in the Feshan region, and finally No one was sure of the effect, so he gave up the Hakkala supported by Lakoye and turned to Hakkala’s daughter, Audrey
Audrey is the daughter of Hakala, a pure Feshan noble, plus the power of the Hakala family now, has the qualifications to become an agent of the empire,
As long as the empire supports it, Audrey will be the future Patriarch of the Haqqara family, and Audrey herself is obviously more pragmatic, and has little resistance to the empire. Since the empire cannot find an agent from Feishan’s elders, Then simply look for it from the second generation of Feishan nobles. Audrey is undoubtedly the outstanding person inside, with knowledge, ambition, courage, and means! The biggest point is that Audrey knows better than Hakala that the Hakala family can only survive if they completely tie themselves to the empire.
"It seems that your majesty also knows Badya?" Audrey said cautiously
"The base camp of the rebels, shouldn't I know?" The fat man smiled slightly. During this time, he read a lot of classics about Fei Shan's golden age, including a lot of content about Fei Shan's navy. , Some are historical classics, some are biographies, so there are a lot of exaggerated content
But in these books, a place name at that time is also constantly mentioned, that is, Badya, the city that never sleeps! The books are not stingy with all kinds of praises about Badya Port, and I can’t wait to say Badya Port as a city of miracles on the earth. This kind of national boasting, fat people have long been commonplace~IndoMTL.com~ What do you care about, Badya, the city that never sleeps,
A group of soil buns in the countryside
You must know that 80 years ago, even the capital of Kyoto in the Gaul Empire in the north had a population of only half a million. A barren land like Fei Shan had a population of 100,000 people. The so-called Badya, The so-called city that never sleeps, to put it bluntly, is a black market and the center of gambling. It is totally incomparable with the million-man Lisbonto under the control of the empire, so fat people really look down on this Badia,
But now when I heard Audrey suddenly say it, the feeling of blocking in Fatty's heart was touched. How could I forget it? Sixty years ago, the Feishan area Daxing Navy, and Feishan's geographical position In terms of location, it is located at the center of the triangle formed by the coast of Central Europe, the coast of the Istanian Empire and the northern coast of South Europe. It is the center of the maritime trade route between these three regions. The Feshan Navy is in the inner sea. Bogey, most of the goods pretended to be looted by pirates are also brought back to the central city of Badia on the Feshan coast for centralized auction. Over time, the port of Badia has undoubtedly become the largest black market distributing center in the entire inland sea area. /
As a large number of black market merchants and naval sailors gathered in the Badya area, the gambling industry also thrived in the Badya area, which is different from the black market mainly concentrated in one place. Because of the driving effect of Badya, Even the Feshan coast, which was hundreds of miles away, was turned into an area where gambling was popular. Whether it was Feshan people, pirates, aristocrats from other kingdoms, or wealthy merchants with a speculative mentality, they all gathered in Feshan coastal areas for gambling. The industry became popular and once became the pillar industry that injected the Feshan Kingdom's strong rise. Unfortunately, this time has lasted for more than ten years. As the Feshan Navy was defeated by the Strand Navy, Feshan fell from the altar of the Inland Sea Overlord. /
Lost the protection of the ocean, the thriving Feshan black market and gambling industry are like big trees that have lost their growing soil, and collapsed overnight!
The sun was shining brightly from the top opening in the middle of the attic. Audrey looked at the imperial emperor’s different shiny and cruel eyes, and her breathing paused slightly. She didn’t know that she opened a door. Opening the door to heaven or hell, he cautiously stuck out his tongue. This is the emperor of the Falcon Empire. He controls most of the Obaro region and is the lord of hundreds of millions of creatures. He is known as the most expensive one in the millennium. A powerful monarch, no one of the powerful figures, he is really courageous enough to tell the emperor of the Falcon Empire to engage in gambling in the Feshan area.
The gambling industry sounds very good, but it is actually a double-edged sword
The original gambling industry did allow Fei Shan to obtain a lot of funds, but there is one point that Audrey did not say. It is also because Fei Shan’s gambling industry has caused Fei Shan’s domestic economy to develop abnormally. Gambling Karma not only attracts external resources, but also leads to the large-scale ablation of Feishan’s domestic resources. If he can get rich overnight, who will focus on development
This is also the main reason why the Fei Shan Navy was defeated that day, and Fei Shan's domestic economy was directly sluggish! It is precisely because of the painful lessons that Fei Shan has strictly forbidden the development of the gambling industry in China for decades.
It’s just that Audrey didn’t know that the head she raised really made Fatty’s heart touched
Merely making Feshan Coast a maritime trade hub and a dark city center is enough for Feshan to support the need for the empire to expand in the south, not to mention the gambling industry, as a modern soul, the fat man can know everything More
Of course, he knows that the gambling industry is a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting himself, but what else is worth hurting Fei Shan now? This is the worst, but it is the idea proposed by Audrey, for The fat man opened his mind at once. Why didn’t he think about making the gambling industry a pillar industry in a region. This is not impossible, but very promising
The natural advantages of Feishan’s geographical location are at a glance, the center of the three major maritime trades, the place where east-west sea trade must pass, and the opposite is the Imperial Golden Port Elro Port. There are countless merchant ships, many merchants and sailors, and a gathering of goods resources. They scattered to all parts of the mainland. If you want to say that it is not difficult for you to build a gambling center in such a geographical location. This is the advantage of being an emperor. As long as the empire gives enough policies and enough funds to inject , As long as the imperial navy makes a change to the maritime trade route, it is really stress-free to cast a medieval version of Las Vegas.
Or, it’s not bad to just create a Las Vegas-like area along the Feshan coast. Thinking of turning Feshan into a treasure, the fat man licked his dry lips excitedly, Lasway What is Gas, it is a miracle, ambition, sex, and money-saving nest. This city on the edge of the desert is almost the same as Fei Shan. It has no products and no infrastructure at all. Even in the middle of the 19th century, one A lieutenant who visited Las Vegas once thought desperately that no one would set foot in this desert from now on, but after a hundred years, what is it showing?
On this fertile pastureland in Las Vegas, a world-renowned resort city centered on the gambling industry for tourism, shopping and vacation, has the reputation of "World Entertainment Capital" and "Marriage Capital". If you are poor and still have a few dollars left, going to Las Vegas may turn around. If you can't spend more money, you may experience the chic of a tramp when you go to Las Vegas. Las Vegas is like this, with **** on one side and heaven on the other. Among the 38.9 million tourists who come to Las Vegas every year, most of them come to shop and enjoy food, and only a few come to gamble.
From an inconspicuous run-down village to a huge international city, Las Vegas only took ten years! If the Empire fully supports it, Fatty's confidence will allow Fei Shan to reproduce the scene of the year, I am afraid that it will not even be a year!
In the afternoon, Fatty recruited Prays again and handed Prays a plan that had been drafted. The plan was mainly drafted by Audrey. Fatty added some content in key positions. For example, the initial investment of five million imperial gold to build a casino, and at the same time to invest in three port cities including the Port of Badia, let the Admiralty plan the docking points in the Feshan area, so that all merchant ships will be concentrated in the Badia area for docking , This alone is enough to ensure that the influx of merchants and sailors in the Badia area shows a geometric increase. As long as there are people, the casino is not afraid of no business
"Your Majesty, your subordinates don't dare to say anything about this plan. They can only say that this is beyond the scope of the subordinates' understanding. Please show your majesty, what should your subordinates do?"
Prays stared at the plan for more than ten minutes, with a ghostly expression on his face, his lips trembled a few times, and finally chose to bow his head. The senior administrative officer was also shocked by the plan. , Using the gambling industry to become Fei Shan’s economic pillar, how long the head of the emperor’s majesty, can even think of this way
Prays doesn't know what to say anymore, so he just said directly, do whatever you like. I don't understand this anyway!
"Ahem, I have assigned someone to temporarily use the Badia port area as a pilot~IndoMTL.com~With a three-month time limit, to verify the feasibility of this plan, Praisching only needs to grasp The overall situation, just give the support you need." The fat man gave a dry cough. This plan is indeed a bit shocking. It is completely caused by Audrey, a crazy woman, and herself.
He and Audrey have been talking about the plan for half a morning. Audrey could say something at first, but as the fat man thought about the various features of the casinos of later generations, he randomly said a few things. , Some of the things that were put forward, even the evildoer like Audrey was softened by Lei’s outside and inside, dumbfounded and speechless
If you don’t bring this, it will make you not alive
Audrey's ruddy lips trembled slightly, and once again she had a miserable feeling of being crushed by human intelligence
Obviously it was my own idea, why did it become like this? Open a casino, just find a place to put the gambling equipment on it! Is this sure that the casino is open? What's the matter of spending a lot of money to invite large-scale performances from all over the world, and the environment is beautiful, villas are crowded, beautiful women are like clouds, and the beautiful female officials from the South Oubaro region are paid a lot of money to serve as casino staff, and the casino can still be opened. Such? Where is the casino, it is simply a huge vacation, shopping, and noble area expanded under the guise of a casino. Don't talk about other people in this kind of place, even Audrey herself feels that she would not sway it in such a place and dare not say herself. Been to Feshan Casino!
