Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 559: Territory for three thousand rents

Chapter 559 Territory for three thousand rents

The governing chief of the Freedom League, Ledos, hurried to see Lorist the next day.

"His Royal Highness, is there anything we can't do to offend the noble family?" Ledos asked directly.

"Well? What do you mean?" Lorist is strange.

"Why did Charade Baron ask me yesterday to rent a land to relocate the camp of the noble fleet in the dock fleet area?"

Lorist then came to understand, dare to love Charade to go to the ruling council of the Liberal Union to discuss the matter of letting Ledos think too much.

"No, you misunderstood, Ledos. That was what I ordered Charade Baron to rent from you. Now that peace has been restored to Falik Plains already, our family armed forces already has completed its mission and promise, so our family armed forces before the end of the year All four Legion will be withdrawn from Northern Land. The original family fleet will also withdraw from Hidegold Bay. Considering that the Free Alliance does not have armed forces at sea, and currently your Free Alliance cannot invest a large amount of money to form a armed forces fleet to protect Hidegold Bay and offshore routes. Safety. Therefore, although our gated family fleet will withdraw from Morante City, it cannot leave Hidegold Bay.

The Morante City and Hidegold Bay already have restored the lively scene of ships coming and going, and also related to the safety of the sea where our family fleet comes to trade, so it is impossible for our family fleet to withdraw from Hidegold Bay for a period of time. In order to maintain our friendly relationship with each other, I personally think that our family fleet can no longer occupy your dock fleet area, so I let Charade Baron go to you to discuss renting land to build another fleet camp, and return the dock fleet area to You ... "

"That's the case," Ledos said with relief. "His Royal Highness, you are right, our Liberty Alliance currently has no plans or funds to form a armed forces fleet to maintain maritime security, so the next maritime security issue is It depends on the aristocratic fleet to maintain it. But I don't think we need to discuss the issue of lease land. We can lease the pier fleet area to the aristocratic fleet for ten years for free.

Lorist waved his hand: "No, Ledos, we can't lease the Fleet Fleet Area. Now that peace already is coming, the Free Alliance is an autonomous country, and Morante City is the capital of the Alliance, so no other forces can appear in Morante City The power of armed forces to prevent your ruling parliament from being accused of betraying the country. Moreover, the sea trade situation is getting better and better, the merchant ships in the countries in the south of the mainland are gathering, and the Morante City dock area will soon face the problem of expansion. Under such circumstances , If our family leases the terminal fleet area, it will have a great impact on the operation of the terminal.

I'm not talking about speculation, Ledos, we will not be questioned if we lease the dock fleet area from you. But after two or three years? With more and more merchant ships coming in, the terminal fleet area of ​​our concession will occupy a large area of ​​the sea due to military control, which will cause great inconvenience to your terminal operations. Under the temptation of interest, our lease will become the eye of many stakeholders. I am worried that if there is any conflict then, we still have to move away from the dock fleet area, so it is better to stay away from Morante City as soon as possible. It is best to rent another land in Hidegold Bay. "

Ledos was dizzy when he heard: "His Royal Highness, you have to think too much ..."

Lorist laughed: "Just in case. Norton Family has always acted brightly. The reason why we think about it in the long run is to avoid disputes between the two of us in the future for these trivial matters, so this is the arrangement in advance. This is also In order to maintain the friendly relationship between us. "

Ledos thought about it and nodded: "Well, Your Highness, you are right. So where do you rent Hidegold Bay to build your family fleet camp?"

Lorist clicked a Hidegold Bay map hanging on the wall: "Here, our family wants to rent the land at the mouth of the sea."

"What!" Ledos opened his mouth incredulously: "But Your Highness, that piece of land is wasteland, rocky beaches and offshore reefs ..."

Hidegold Bay's entrance to the sea is surrounded by Lantau Island and Lantau Island. It looks like a strong arm bent to hold Hidegold Bay in its arms, blocking the wind and waves of the open sea, making Hidegold Bay like a quiet spring. Lantau Island and Lantau Island are both steep rock cliffs. There are no grasses. There are cliffs and cliffs. The cliffs in the open sea are as hard as steel. They are greeted by the storm day and night. The cliffs of the Inland Sea are covered with small holes, which are nests of Haiyan. It is said that there are nests of sea eagles and jellyfish on the tops of Lantau Island and Lantau Island. It is just a high cliff, and it is difficult for humans to climb up.

On the map, the shape of Lantau Island is like a huge palm, tilted slightly inward, and the coast is an area of ​​offshore reefs. Several hill-like reefs are remote from Lantau Island, between the two. It is a section of the sea of ​​nearly 500 meters. This is the Hidegold Bay's estuary and estuary. Regardless of whether they are going to the sea or coming in, they follow the rules of sailing on the left to avoid accidental collisions.

The terrain of Hidegold Bay is a bit like a gourd, small front and large rear. The estuary of the Silver river, the second largest water system of Grindia that nurtured the rich Falik Plains, is in the small bay in front of the gourd. It is different from the magnificent landscape of the famous mother river estuary in the past, which is remembered by Lorist. Yes, the Silver river estuary feels more like a moisturizing sound. If the junction of the green river water and the azure blue water is different, it is difficult for people to tell which river is the sea. Especially in the days when the double moon in the sky is a full moon, the phenomenon of seawater pouring into the Silver river will occur, so the two sides of the estuary are unmanned swamps.

Morante City is the bottom of Hidegold Bay, so the most prosperous and lively sides of Hidegold Bay are at the big bay of Hulu, and the two sides of the small bay in front are relatively desolate. Especially on the other side of the Silver river, a large area by the sea is deserted. As Ledos said, it was wasteland and rocky beaches, and the area near the Silver river was still a large swamp. But whether it is a small bay or a large bay, Hidegold Bay is the site of the Free Alliance. Lorist refers to the small bay in front of Correct, the uninhabited wasteland at the seaside reef area of ​​the estuary.

"Yes, the area of ​​Correct that our family wants to rent, a range of thirty miles." Lorist nodded and said: "Because our family fleet is also armed forces, avoiding the bustling urban area is not It will disturb the people. Second, it is convenient for the fleet to conduct drills without affecting the navigation of normal sea trade merchant ships. Third, it is close to the estuary and can quickly go to sea to perform the tasks of clearing pirates and protecting commercial roads. Therefore, we decided to rent it here. "

"Yes, but it's too desolate there, too far away from Morante City, it's not convenient for your fleet to come and buy daily supplies. And you have to spend a lot of money and energy to rebuild a camp ... and, Why should a fleet be camped on such a large area, it can be enclosed as a Baron Territory for thirty miles ... ”

Ledos can't figure out whether Lorist's lease of the wasteland contains any other intentions. In fact, he thinks that the place where the Norton Family fleet is leased is as close to Morante City as possible. Besides, one fleet purchases daily consumption. Ingredients are a good business, not to mention the cost of the fleet members to visit Morante City. Everyone knows that the soldier(s) of Norton Family is rich, generous, and abides by laws and regulations. It is better than those who are small and cheap, and they are the most popular guests in pub brothels.

"Besides the training ground for the fleet soldier(s), we are also preparing to move the family of the fleet soldier(s) stationed here, so we are also planning to build farms, livestock farms and vegetable gardens. Maybe we will also Build a town here to serve the fleet. In consideration of this, our family decided to rent such a large place. For you, anyway, this is just a wasteland, earning our rent and let us develop and build for you. Wait When the lease expires, we can return this developed place to you for free ... "Lorist made a promise that Ledos could not believe.

"This, this ... how many years is your family ready to lease?" Ledos finally raised a key question.

"Well, we have to calculate carefully. The key is how much you rent this site to us, plus how much we have invested in the development and construction of this site. As a businessman, Le Doss, you should understand that if there is no profit, we will not waste gold coin(s) here. After all, everything here will be owned by your Free Alliance. So according to the lease period, we can consider sharing the development and construction funds to each One year, then we can lease as many years as we can get back. In this part, I will let Charade Baron and your ruling council discuss well to get a result that is satisfactory to both of us.

Ledos respectfully saluted and resigned: "His Royal Highness, you are right, then I quit and discuss with the members, and wait for the arrival of Charade Baron."

Three days later, Charade appeared in front of Lorist: "Your Highness, you're done. This is a lease agreement. The Liberal Union's ruling council leased us the site on the other side of the river Silver to the Norton Family for ninety-nine years, and the annual rent It is three thousand gold coin(s). I originally wanted to lease a one hundred and fifty years, but Ledos feared that such a long lease would be accused by others. This is a disguised betrayal of the Free Alliance territory, so it was changed to ninety-nine. Year lease. But Your Highness, did we spend nearly 300,000 gold fordes to rent this birdless site for 99 years? Is n’t it too bad? And we have to invest a lot of development and construction funds ... "

Lorist smiled with satisfaction: "Oh, nearly 180 square miles of land has been leased to us for ninety-nine years at the price of three thousand gold fordes by the Liberty Alliance. I can only say that our bargain is too big. Three thousand gold fordes a year, Ledos they rent to us as an annual income of ordinary Baron Territory. For our family, this is a strategic place to control Hidegold Bay. The 180 square miles of land on the coast Just added, the important thing is that this reef area, million gold does not change! "

Pick up a charcoal pen, Lorist sketched randomly on the map of Hidegold Bay: "You see, Charade, do you understand now?"

The reef area off the coast of the Hidegold Bay estuary on the map is connected by Lorist, like a fist reaching into the sea. Charade came to understand at once: "His Royal Highness, do you mean to fill this reef area like a Roman reef cape reef area into a sea castle fortress?"

Lorist nodded: "The area of ​​this reef area is not large. The most important thing is to penetrate the reef mountains in the sea and connect them into a piece to arrange a fort on it. Then the entire entrance to the sea will be controlled by us No matter whether it is going out to sea or entering Hidegold Bay, no merchant ship can escape the aiming range of artillery on the turret. Mastering here is equivalent to controlling the entire Hidegold Bay. "

"His Royal Highness, then who are you going to put in charge of building and developing this family fleet camp? What is the size of this camp?" Charade asked.

"In my original vision, I was only going to build a mooring base for the family fleet sub-fleet, where fleet members could rest briefly here. But I did not expect that the Liberty Alliance would agree to the seaside One hundred and eighty square miles of land was also leased to our family's request, which was originally intended for me to bargain with them. This is a pleasant surprise. The ninety-nine-year lease is enough for us to invest funds to comprehensively here Development and construction can at least make daily consumption of food and other ingredients of the family fleet reach self-sufficiency.

For the sake of comprehensive development, we have to send someone to carry out exploration and mapping of this area, choose a suitable place to build a town, and provide it for the members of the fleet and the families of the armed forces soldier(s) to live and live. In addition, I plan to deploy a corps of four battalions with 12 thousand people, an artillery battalion, a cavalry battalion, a defensive battalion and a Ballista battalion. As the defensive force of this Territory. With this town guard regiment, I believe that even if there is any change, they will be able to hold on to the arrival of our family reinforcements.

Regarding the development and construction of this fleet camp and this Territory, I am going to give it to Schwartz to take charge of it. The last time the construction of the castle at the cape Romani was very good, I am very satisfied. In addition, Schwartz has a strong personality, serious work, and cautious and easy-going. He will also serve as the soldier Captain of this town guard corps. I want him to practice more, let him stand alone here. what do you think? "Lorist said.

Charade nodded in agreement: "His Royal Highness, Schwartz is indeed a very suitable candidate. We all watched him grow up and know him very well. We can rest assured that he is in charge here. Well, then Malek and I will take someone here to make a detailed survey, first design a blueprint on how to develop and build, and then hand it over to Schwartz, and he can carry out construction according to our design blueprint. But We lack construction labor here, how can we solve this? Is it possible to ship a batch from the family Territory? "

"It is not necessary to transport labor from the family Territory for construction." Lorist thought for a while and said, "The most basic construction can be contracted to Morante City for large and small buildings Chamber of Commerce for construction, but we can mobilize one from family Territory A group of technical construction personnel came over. In the construction of the last secret defense facilities, we can let the technical staff guide our family soldier(s) to carry out the construction. This will also speed up the construction progress and complete the development and construction of Territory as soon as possible.

"Okay, then I'll retreat first, Your Highness, I'll go there with Marek tomorrow to see."

"Wait, Charade, I'll be fine tomorrow, let's go and see."
