Heart of Empire Chapter 325: 1 Squadron
"If it is true as you said, in three months, even the griffin and the cavalry, I can send you two"
This is Hampton's answer.
Two squadrons meant that Dane would directly invest 180,000 gold coins in these three months—this figure made Dane shudder a little.
Since White Wolf Castle and Aurinai have both embarked on a high-development trajectory, this is the first time that Dane has come across a situation where a unit building can fully recruit soldiers, but his own money is not enough to support the full recruitment of troops. .
This situation made Dane really uncomfortable.
Actually, to be honest, it's not that Dane can't take out 180,000 gold coins. And he also felt that if he could have more than a hundred griffin cavalry in his hands after three months, it must be quite a powerful thing. At that time, even if he is asked to take this group of griffin cavalry to slay the dragon, he will dare to do it!
But the problem is trade-offs.
Throwing out these 180,000 gold coins and getting a hundred or so griffin cavalry back is great, but what about the follow-up construction plan? Auriana also needs to go to level four. After the White Wolf Fort is upgraded to level four, so many buildings need to be upgraded, and there are still many shortages of soldiers in the second round of reorganization of the entire White Wolf Fort Legion... These things, Which one is free?
All these things require Dane to invest a lot of money to fill the hole, and if a large amount of money is spent on the Griffin Cavalry, it will definitely affect other plans.
Dane has the courage, but he doesn't think it's necessary.
Calm down a little, Dane said: "It seems that your next task will be much easier."
Hearing Dane's words, of course Hampton couldn't have any happy look on his face. He is not stupid, and he can definitely hear what Dane means.
The middle-aged Griffon instructor scratched his head, opened his mouth and said, "Griffon cavalry plays a very important role in the war, Lord Lord..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dane waving his hand: "First, train a squadron of Griffin Cavalry in a three-month cycle to make a work plan. How many resources are needed and what resources, you go Write a plan and discuss it with Chapple."
Hampton said: "Yes, my lord. However, I think we still need to discuss the training scale of the Griffon Cavalry."
"There's no need to discuss it." Dane was too lazy to explain to him that he didn't have that much money, let alone talk about other development plans for the territory: "Let's do the preparations, I hope to see it in three months. Your actual work output.”
The words have reached such an obvious point that Hampton has nothing to say, so he can only accept the order and leave.
Calmly holding the wine glass, Dane was actually bleeding from his heart.
He now deeply understands a truth, all the resources in his hands are, in essence, money and time. In the past, what restricted his legion's step-by-step expansion was always lack of time; but now, he finally realized the feeling of being 'poor'.
Witting his teeth, he walked to the window and looked towards the west——in the near future, the only one that could make his territory's income have a huge enough boost is Shawan Harbor, right?
…
Shawan Harbor is a fertile place, although the land where it is located is still so barren that even sea water cannot moisten the desert soil. However, the good seaside location and the natural high-quality port make the city of Shawan Port occupy a pivotal position in the entire Schindler trade show.
If the warlords who used to own Shawan Harbor in the past could truly control the city in their own hands, I am afraid that on this land south of Schindler, a new generation of Is it no less than a large governor-level warlord like Ou Ze or Kang Li?
Unfortunately, before Dane, no one could do this. As a result, Shawan Port, a hen that can lay golden eggs, can only be reduced to a cash machine that simply provides some gold coins in the hands of the warlords-the limit is still very large!
Fortunately, Dane has now firmly taken the step of completely controlling Shawan Harbor. The influence of the merchants on the city declined sharply in just one or two months. Instead, the will of Dane, represented by Verina, was deeply entering every inch of this port city. corner.
Of course, Dane didn't actually defeat those merchants at all—he never thought about really eliminating them all. This is an unrealistic thing. Shawan Port built a city with merchants and defeated and eliminated merchants. Who will make money for him?
But controlling the city does not mean that Dane must eliminate the original controller of the city. Under his instruction, Verina's method of dealing with merchants when she was in power at Shawan Port, although it may seem rough, is actually quite clever when combined with the linkage of Dane's entire forces.
Using the Shire United Chamber of Commerce as a breakthrough point, instigate it, and then cooperate with them to break the monopoly of the past three major chambers of commerce on the trade industry of Shahaiwan Port, and then continue to cooperate with the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce with a better attitude , Completely expel the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce ~IndoMTL.com~ This set of combo boxing can be described as beautiful.
Currently, the operation of Shawan Port is pretty good, and the plan of the new city government that Velina is preparing is also moving forward at a very fast speed. Before that, the General Affairs Office was still playing its due role, but its influence was now only able to radiate outwards under Verina's control.
The cooperation between Verina and the merchants is still a tacit understanding, and as long as the new government is established, it means that after Dane forces completely control the administrative and economic construction power of the entire Shawan Port, I believe that this The money that the city can bring to Dane will soar.
10,000 to 20,000 a month in taxes? No, no, this number is too small! After the establishment of the new government, Dane hopes to get at least three times as much money from Shawan Port!
Without such benefits, wouldn't it be useless for him to spend so much time fighting against the merchants?
Money will not increase for no reason. Dane needs to earn tens of thousands of gold coins more every month, which means that some people have to earn less. And those who pay this price can only be businessmen.
But they are all businessmen. In fact, they are affected differently during the transformation of Wangang.
The Shire United Chamber of Commerce was the least affected. Even, as the first merchant force to fall to Dane, their status in Shawan Harbor has become higher, not to mention losses, and even profits.
As for the others, they are not as moist as these Shire people. (To be continued.) 8
