Power and Empire Chapter 400: The collision of famous generals (1)
"The Commercial City of Riwading"
This sentence is undoubtedly the best name for this prosperous and huge city in front of you,
Countless criss-crossing wide commercial roads, centered here, spread to the invisible sky like dense spider webs,
The wheel tracks of the horse-drawn carriage are happily turning on the road paved with large stones. The six huge outdoor markets outside the city are like monsters, constantly puffing up horse-drawn carriages full of goods.
Countless merchants gathered here, and the shouts of the merchants were mixed in a mess, even if they could be heard a few miles away, it became a unique and beautiful scenery,
There are luxury merchants with large caravans worth millions, and there are small merchants with wistful faces driving dilapidated carriages,
No matter who it is, they look at the city in front of them with a complex, heartfelt respect,
This is different from the flattery and respect they expressed when they were forced to bend over to the noble lords and lords.
Here, their status is equal, whether they are aristocrats, civilians, merchants, or soldiers! They don’t need to bend over to anyone, and they don’t need to wear a flattering smile against their hearts
There will no longer be too many hurdles on the spacious road. They can move smoothly and happily with their goods without worrying about being unreasonably exploited
Because this is a gathering place of wealth, it is legendary, unparalleled, and a real paradise for the merchants themselves!
The prosperous commercial goods trade makes the whole city look like a living behemoth, with incredible vitality and hope,
The silver carriage that attracted attention by "Cracking" stopped on a flat ground outside the city of Zivadin. The loud sound of water coming from a distant place attracted the attention of the people in the silver carriage.
A white and delicate hand gently rolled up the window of the carriage, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes full of curiosity
"This is probably the gate of the legendary Riwading!" In the beautiful voice like a yellow warbler, with unconcealable surprise, a beautiful young girl looked at the huge rushing Satsuma Lijiang not far away. Architectural trance,
She was fascinated by the huge project in front of her. It was a huge water gate, where the rushing down Satsuma River was divided into two artificially.
One churning white waves continue to rush down the wide waterway like a giant dragon, and the other is smaller than each other, from a relatively gentle artificial waterway at the main road fork, into the interior of the huge city.
The huge water gate sky arch, like a rainbow lying on it, vaguely sees countless swaying merchant ship masts, shining in the sun,
"Papa" white water waves hit the heavy bow, and from time to time merchant ships full of cargo turned from this separate fork.
Then it seemed to be held by an invisible giant hand, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the huge arch.
This is the opening and closing gate built during the third expansion of Zivadin, spanning the entire rushing Satsuma River.
In order to expand the increasingly tense river transportation line in Jivadin,
Taking advantage of the freezing of the Satsuma Lijiang River in the winter of last year, Fatty used nearly 10,000 manpower on the Riwading Plain to build a huge water embankment across the wide Satsuma Lijiang River to divert the entire river.
Let the branch of the river flow around the inner edge of the city for a full circle, and then gush out from another river exit,
It's like installing the whole city, a water transportation line that flows constantly. Of course, this is a very common way of use in cities now.
But in that era, this grand project undoubtedly made the beautiful girl feel a kind of shock from the soul,
She can't imagine that people can rely on their own power to turn the huge Satsuma Lijiang into a channel inside the city, and this magical project is right in front of him!
Everyone who has been to Riwading for the first time has had such a shocking experience.
The white tumbling waters of the Satsuma Lijiang River collided with each other at the bifurcation, with this huge resurgence thrust,
The merchant ship full of cargo effortlessly allows the water to be lifted from the other side into the waterway that can enter the inner city. The waterway transportation capacity of Zivadin has been greatly improved again,
According to the statistics of tax officials set up by the business alliance at the inner city terminal,
The cargo that Riwadin needs to handle every day has reached a terrible five million tons, and the number of merchant ships passing in and out has reached more than 1,000.
The taxes generated quickly passed the original maximum limit of 15,000.
The powerful river network and the trade agreement signed with the Kingdom of Ruud at the beginning of the year allowed the commercial transportation line of Samor to expand from the northern Kujit to the entire southern
The extremely powerful business influence is undoubtedly becoming the soul of this huge city with a population of 600,000
"Or! This is what my father wants me to see!" Mao Monaqing's complex face put down the window curtains in her hands, and the water vapor on her face wet her show, but she didn't realize it,
From the desolate west to the bustling southern part of Vicia, all the way,
Mao Mona Qing originally thought that what she saw would be a terrible sight of a brutal and impoverished people,
Unexpectedly, what I saw was a scene of abundance of life, a prosperous business, and people living and working in peace and contentment. This is very different from what Mao Monaqing thinks of Samer.
Can't help but this princess Mao Mo from the desolate area feels a bit lost
"It seems that my father's decision to agree to let go of the Western Trade Road was correct!" Mao Mana's beautiful and delicate face showed a little lonely,
With Samor defeating the Northern Stian family in an all-round way, Samor has become the co-owner of Vijaya, and the only difference is the formality of becoming a king from a duke
The Maomao family, which is sticking to the west, has decided to agree to Samor’s three conditions.
According to the agreement, the West will open up trade routes to Samor and recognize Samor’s rule over the entire Wichia,
Naturally also includes becoming the nominal master of the West,
Regarding the third question of asking for military expenses, the Maomer family reacted very strangely.
In fact, when Mao Mo Dain, the controller of the Mao Mo family, saw the first two conditions, his eyebrows kept frowning.
Zou Chengyi's eyebrows did not loosen until seeing the third condition,
Money is not a problem! Although the Maomo family is located in the desolate west, after decades of accumulation and exhibition, ten thousand gold coins are still taken out.
Mao Modain, who is old and refined, values the deep meaning of the three conditions.
The first two conditions are both false,
The so-called liberalization of business and recognition of Samor’s rule are just literal promises. In the eyes of true powers, these are just scraps of paper that can be discarded at any time
Only something tangible can connect the two sincerely
When you see the third condition,
Mao Moda showed a knowing smile from the corner of his mouth
The little guy Summer, obviously guessed that he kept pushing Samor and turned to attack Stian’s various layouts,
On this last, and most practical and sincere question, I have a problem of my own.
According to the fat man’s idea, even if the old fox is not in trouble, Mao Modain can disgust him,
Sometimes! Fatty’s mischievous psychology is still very serious,
Anyone will be very depressed when they find themselves secretly calculated, but still have to jump in. If you want to give money or give it away, you can choose for yourself!
Unfortunately, the fat man still underestimated the political sophistication of Mao Modain, an old fox,
Mao Modain can at least see the fat man’s two weaknesses from the third condition. First, the heroic king and **** is also a master with seven passions and six desires, otherwise he would not be so. Important agreements, expressed in this funny way
Secondly, the most powerful young man in the kingdom seems to be a little bit interested in his little daughter!
Mao Moda is worthy of being a hero who created the entire western situation on his own. For the fat man’s prank third condition, Ma Moda just smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Kick the ball to the fat man again, don't you want me to choose?
Good! I sent Mao Mannaqing personally to go to Riwading with ten thousand gold coins, whether to choose people or money,
You can do it yourself!
This is a funny condition, and the Maomo family also gave a funny promise,
History is always full of invisible fog, no one can fully understand the truth of the facts
No one can think of it,
This important agreement that determines the fate of the entire western region turned out to be just a **** agreement between two young and old.
Is this the city of Riwading? "Mao Monaqing's carriage sounded a bewildered female voice, "It's unbelievable!" I remember when I came here before, it was just an ordinary southern town, but now..."
A beautiful woman with a bit of wildness raised her head from the opposite side of Mao Manaqing, with two bright black eyes, looking at the majestic city in the distance with a bit of disbelief,
The flush on her face just after waking up makes her look as attractive as a ripe apple,
"Oh, did His Royal Highness Serris have been here before?" Mao Monaqing could not help but ask curiously when she heard the emotion of a wild beauty,
"Of course! Two years ago, I was the liaison officer for Wang Ting to go south." There was a look of memories on Celice's face, she sighed as she thought of the embarrassment of the Kugit army at the time.
"Rivadin at that time was completely different from now. The low and ugly gray city walls, the narrow southbound dirt road, and even a medium-sized city in the north are better than it" The **** beauty couldn't help but sigh.
"At that time, I was here to raise food! I didn't expect it to be like this in just two years,
I heard a lot of businessmen from Vikia talk about this, I thought they were a bit exaggerated,
Now it seems that this place is far more beautiful and richer than they said. That silly fat guy who likes to stay at home still has some skill!
"Fatty squat guy!" Mao Manaqing was chuckled by the weird name of Cerris~ IndoMTL.com~ Who would dare to use this name to call the most powerful man in the kingdom? ,
Probably only the unrestrained grassland person like Ceris dared to call it that way. According to legend, the beauty in front of me has the blood of the Kujit royal family. Regarding this rumor, Mao Monaqing is also full of curiosity.
In addition to fulfilling the agreement, this time Mao Mo Na Qing went south, with an important task, accompanied by this special envoy from Kujit to Zivadin.
Although the West has recognized Samer as the co-owner of Vikia,
But the Momo family has close ties with Kujit, not to mention that this time the Kujit court personally came forward, and Momo Dain did not dare to refuse
"Finally arrived! This road suffocated me to death." Looking at the Zivadin gate that was getting closer and closer in the distance, Ceres stood up in the carriage and took out a closed and complete one from under the cushion Box,
"To be honest, if it is not for privacy, I would prefer to ride a horse. It is a pleasure to ride a horse on such a wide road!
