Realm of Power

The vehicle moved forward slowly, and the rainwater hit the roofs on both sides of the street like threads.

The density of people on the street is still quite high, with busy traffic and people flowing in. The newly built shops on both sides are even more lively. Poplar trees from the Luta Province in the north of the empire, deep-sea blue beads from Salander, the empire's native land, Sino-Belgium Silks from Asia, various famous specialties in Gaul, minerals from the Congo region, and even various products from the Baltic countries in southern Europe, even Pudamia was dazzled by them.

Putamia, who was secretly stunned, withdrew her gaze and asked the black-haired young man sitting opposite her with a solemn expression, "You have invested so much manpower and material resources in the Feishan area. When are you going to use force against the south?"

"What are you talking about, I don't understand"

The fat man sitting across from him said with a surprised look on his face. It was naturally impossible to admit such a thing that involved national strategy. He couldn't help but underestimate it in his heart. It was said that women's sixth sense was extremely accurate, but Putamia's third sense was extremely accurate. The six senses are too scary. Are they really special instincts developed by religious people?

"Haha, in name, the port expansion is actually secretly connecting the entire Feishan coastal area."

Putamia glanced at the street with a deep look, and sighed lightly, "I have never been to Badya quietly before. This road is definitely not so wide. It is very difficult to be able to drive three carriages in parallel, and the whole Obaro knows that due to the poor national strength, the Feishan people have always been very small in terms of construction. Qi, and what I see now is a large commercial road that can carry six carriages parallelly. Even if it is placed in the inland area of ​​the empire, the width of such a commercial road is first-class. If it is placed in the Feishan area, it is definitely a waste. , Such a wide road can not only transport goods, but also quickly transport troops."

"Don't be so sensitive, it's just a normal expansion. After all, Feishan is also the empire's ruling area. As the lord of the empire, I can't just leave it alone! And you have also seen that if it were not for the expansion of Badiya The circulation of the harbor will be on both sides of the entire main road. It has been doubled in width, and the original three carriages running in parallel have become a large business road that can carry six carriages in parallel. I am afraid that the road in front of me will be blocked." The fat man shrugged his shoulders helplessly, thinking in his heart I was secretly surprised. Could it be that someone had discovered my layout in the Feishan area?

"This is what really shocked me. What methods did His Majesty use to cause the Feishan area to explode with such vitality?"

Putamia glanced at the fat man and said that she was indeed frightened by the Badiya Port in front of her. "It is not difficult to expand a port. According to the empire's financial resources, it is not a problem, but the population that really determines the heritage of a city is. It is not something that can be changed in a short time. When Feishan adopted the tactics of fortifying the wall and clearing the field against the invading Istanbul army, more than a million Feishan people were affected, and there were countless casualties."

"Later, in the war with the Empire, His Majesty finally had his back completely cut off on the Bavaria Terrace. He killed 300,000 elites in one night. The country's power was completely lost. Feishan nobles fled abroad on a large scale, not only taking away a large number of With funds and almost the entire middle- and upper-class elite, buildings can be built quickly Come, but these cannot be changed in the blink of an eye. In less than ten or twenty years, it is impossible for Feishan to return to its original population level. But the Badiya Port in front of me, according to my visual inspection, is probably The population must be at least 60,000 to 100,000 to have such a prosperous scene."

Putamia's voice paused. "And judging from the scene in front of me, the empire has invested far more financial and manpower in the Feishan area than I had previously expected. Just the broad trade road in front of me that only the empire can carve out, can It is foreseen how much handling capacity Badiya Port will have after its expansion. This is not just one Badiya Port, but eight coastal ports that will be expanded simultaneously with Badiya Port as the center. The empire is not only expanding the port, but is also connecting the eight port cities with wide commercial roads. In front of others, some may think that the empire has too much money and wastes money on a barren land like Feishan, but in the Even a layman like me can predict that once this road across Feishan's coastal area is completed, the empire's combat readiness in the eastern coast of the Inland Sea will be doubled."

"I didn't expect you to look at me like this, but I'm a little surprised!"

The fat man's face suddenly became serious. If he continued to refuse to admit it, he would look a little stingy. He smiled bitterly.

The carriage was passing through Badiya City Square. The square was crowded with people. There was a huge open-air platform. On the platform stood a young woman wearing a white dress. This was a song and dance troupe from the empire. The woman's singing voice was sad and moving. , full of sadness and helplessness, floating in the vast sky above the square, Hearing such beautiful singing, Potamia's eyes blurred for a moment. The choir of the Order State was known as the most beautiful divine movement in Barro, southern Europe. Potamia herself also had very high musical attainments. , just hearing the woman's singing, a picture of desolation after the tragic war came to mind.

"This is a very famous song in the Dorok Mountains of Ikadiva continent. It's called "Homecoming"

The fat man was touched by something unknown in his heart, and he sighed and said, "It's about the former Dorok princess who married into a certain kingdom and was later executed for something. The Dorok people's longing for this woman, speaking of it, , I once visited the final burial place of Princess Dorok. If I hadn’t considered that more than a hundred years had passed and the deceased was dead, I might have ordered the remains of Princess Dorok to be returned to Dorok. Rock Mountain, let his soul return home! "

"The war was tragic, and the woman longed to return. I didn't expect to still have such an old relationship. Your Majesty is really kind. I just heard that when Your Majesty unified Ikadiva, wherever the sword pointed and the army passed, the city was often filled with corpses. Has anyone ever sung this song "Homecoming" in front of His Majesty?" Putamia suddenly smiled, like the bright moon rising in the night sky, and said with shining eyes, as a woman, she really touched her heart just now. weak but The recovery is also very fast. The legend of the rise of the Falcon Emperor has long been spread throughout Obarro thanks to the propaganda of the empire. Of course, in order to highlight the power of the Falcon Emperor and promote the invincibility of the Falcon Empire. , naturally described Fatty as the kind of peerless overlord who killed countless people. In fact, after contact, Putamia also knew that such a claim was a bit exaggerated. Now she said it deliberately, just to disgust Fatty to death.

"Of course someone sang it in front of me!"

The fat man's old face turned red unexpectedly. How could he not hear that Putamia was laughing at him as a tyrant? No one dared to sing this song in front of him. He really wanted to say that this woman's singing was really bad. , ethereal is ethereal, but it lacks a charm. In the Dorok area, it is only a second-rate standard at best. I can let many Rock's most beautiful woman, Gossamer Huali, sings "The Return of the Lord" in her arms. It sounds so many times better than this. It's just a pity that Gossamer Flower has been in seclusion since her withdrawal from the Dorok Cloud incident. She has written several times Letters inviting him to come to Oparo were politely rejected. The reason was simply that he was afraid of provoking repression from the harem.

The Feishan area in front of us cannot be developed according to the normal development model. Fatty has decided to turn this area into a land outside the empire.

The appointment of Plais, who has a profound background, as the governor itself is for special actions in the Feishan area. With Plais, the former empire's most important minister, here, anyone who wants to talk has to weigh the weight.

Here, the empire's formal laws will be difficult to implement. This will become the empire's largest transit hub and largest casino in the eastern part of the Inland Sea. This is only on the surface, but in its true essence, this place will gather all the funds in the entire eastern part of the Inland Sea. It is a distribution center for various black market materials. It is conceivable that dragons and snakes are mixed together, and underground forces are bound to be rampant. She has always scorned the underground forces, and will inevitably suppress them forcefully. Although Audrey of the Hakara family is ambitious and courageous, she has no experience in this area after all, pushing such a rookie level figure to the head of the underground forces. position is undoubtedly playing with fire. I have been thinking about finding a spokesperson who can suppress the underground forces, but I have never found a suitable one.

If the empire talks about underground forces, the first choice is naturally the Undercover, the predecessor of the Imperial Intelligence Department. However, the Undercover is now an official agency of the empire. Especially after the Gang Fei incident, Fatty has strongly integrated the Undercover, and many of the Undercover are linked to underground forces. They have all been cut off and become an integral part of the empire's intelligence department. Looking at it, Dorok Cloud, the old underground force that once ran rampant in the Dorok Mountains, is undoubtedly the best choice. , although it is also known as the Imperial Intelligence Department, it actually has more contact with the underground forces. Dorok Cloud, who is good at illusions and hypnotic assassinations, has also become famous among the underground forces, and has won the tulle flowers. Feishan came and formed a golden match with Audrey, and with the full support of Plais and the imperial military, even if Feishan was an extraterritorial place, his own rules and will could firmly control it.

He will ask the Supervision Department to handle this matter immediately when he gets back. The fat man secretly made up his mind, thinking of the gorgeous and beautiful face, his heart became warm.

"Your Majesty may accompany me for a walk. Since becoming the Pope, I have not been on the streets like this for several years. Even if I occasionally pass by, it will be desolate after the Templars have cleared the place." Putamia's eyes sparkled. , seemed quite interested, and saw the fat man looking at her in surprise, Her figure was obviously slimmer, her clothes and hair were blowing freely in the wind, her beautiful eyes were staring at the outside, her lips parted lightly, and she sighed lightly, "It's sad to say that the sect was in a civil war, and I had ups and downs, twice. Life and death, I suddenly realized that I didn't even have a chance to go shopping in this life! "

Putamia said so, and the fat man couldn't refuse, so he followed Putamia down from the carriage.

Signs of various chambers of commerce are scattered on both sides of the street. The noise is coming towards you. As far as you can see, they are full of people. It almost makes people think that they have arrived at Porto Lisbon, the golden port that connects the north and south of the empire, instead of being known as the wasteland of the empire. In the Feishan region, Putamia’s eyes are shining, and there is an empire Putamia naturally bought the emperor's big wallet without hesitation. It was natural that the things that caught Putamia's eyes would not be ordinary items. Looking at several large bags of various jewelry and luxury goods, she quickly found them. The carriage that was slowly following behind was piled up. Although the fat man wasn't really in pain, he could definitely see it.

This woman said she had never gone shopping in her life. She was lying. People who had never gone shopping could actually bargain. They were still picky and used extremely fluent Fei Shan to bargain with the boss opposite until his face turned pale. It's just that I can't speak clearly Mo, fainted and fell to the ground. It wasn't until Putamia took out a heavy object directly from the jewelry store that the fat man realized that this woman had done it deliberately. It is estimated that these things will be resold soon, and finally become The Military Expenditure of the Order State

"This thing is good. I also have one in my room, but it's not as big as this one. It shines brightly when I put it there."

This time, Putamia was even more sinister and cruel. She came over with a crystal-clear deep-sea luminous pearl, which was as big as a human fist. It was placed as a treasure of a large jewelry store that occupied six stores. In the window, in the store Under the light that she deliberately cast, it looked even more shining like a rainbow. The asking price was directly one million imperial gold. The boss following her almost laughed to his ears. This time, he was also lucky. His own This is the treasure of the store, even though it’s priced at one million emperors The national gold was actually bought with more than 200,000 imperial gold, which means it is big enough, but in fact it is not shiny enough and cannot be compared with the real top-grade sea pearls. It is placed here to deliberately fool those Fei Shan bumpkins. Some people really ask. , I was scared away on the spot, this kind of It is a signature product used to build reputation, and I never thought about selling it. Who would have thought that I actually met a beautiful woman with a lot of money. She walked in and asked to buy it without even telling the price. As for the payment, of course it came later. This stupid looking guy

"Boss, the price of this thing is wrong. It's worth 200,000 yuan, but it's 1 million empire gold. Are you trying to defraud me?"

The fat man had a dark face and didn't understand anything else. He still knew about Salander's sea beads. The top-notch Salander's sea beads were hung in the Imperial Palace of Dahai City and were used as light bulbs. Even in the carriage behind him, There are five top-quality Salander sea beads inlaid on it for decoration. The one in front of you , I could tell at a glance that this sea pearl was not good. In addition to its size, it was actually turbid and dim in luster. The fat man directly said that this thing was not worth the price. It had been slaughtered bloody. Who could have a million empire gold hanging around on his body? Rich people don’t behave this badly.

"No, this is the best Poseidon bead I have ever seen!"

Putamia stood there with a graceful figure, reluctantly playing with the luminous pearl in her hand, squinting her eyes, and her slender red phoenix eyes clearly revealed a hint of cunning. How much time had passed, and she had already earned at least 300,000 imperial gold. If I go out and sell it, I can at least solve the current financial difficulties.

The battle in the north of Erro brought down the economy of the Order State, and then the Battle of the Holy Capital wiped out the last remaining remnants of the Holy City. Now the south has been invaded, the central part has been plunged into war, and the Order State's finances are already in deficit. It was even more popular. Otherwise, why would His Majesty, His Majesty the Pope, need to take a ride on the Imperial Navy's return fleet? It's not like he has no money!

In fact, Putamia was also helpless, but she was able to kill the emperor, who was known as the undefeated military god, with a knife. Thinking of this bastard using her as a pawn, she felt a sense of revenge. Of course, in the eyes of the boss , the fat guy now has an expression of disapproval, it is obvious that some upstart wants He was annoyed to please the woman in front of him, but found that he was short of money. He said with a gloomy face, "What is 200,000 yuan? This is Fei Shan. Do you think it is Lisbon? As long as you can find a better Poseidon Pearl than this one." , I can give this to you for free. If you don’t have money, don’t pretend to be wealthy here.”

"Come and see, there is a guy pretending to be a rich man here!" the boss shouted deliberately. The fat man's face turned pale and his eyes were sharp. At this moment, the street suddenly surged, and the crowd around him began to run towards the front of the street. , without even looking at the boss, he could see a group of light cavalry wearing heraldic armor coming slowly ahead, and the crowd automatically spread out on both sides of the street.

This sudden change not only stunned the boss, but also the fat man. Putamia even glanced at the coat of arms on the light cavalry armor with suspicion, glanced at the fat man deeply, and deliberately looked at the fat man. He winked, and the lips seemed to be saying, "Is it from your family?"

The fat man looked over and his eyes bulged. Oh my gosh, it turned out to be a white thorn flower. . . . . . .

"Come and see, Her Royal Highness the Princess from the Empire is coming to Badya in person!" The voice of shouting came from the front, and the Empire was excited. The Empire invested huge sums of money to expand the port, and now the Princess of the Empire is here in person. Various cheering sounds, the Empire There are too many things that can be explained by the princess of the royal family setting foot in the land of Feishan. Only the fat man's face was a little confused. Princess of the imperial royal family? Why didn’t I know!
