Liu Erlong did not come alone, there were more than 10,000 elite guards of the business alliance behind her.
There are nearly 500 soul masters, of which there are dozens of soul emperors and soul kings.
The most terrifying thing was that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family also followed Liu Erlong.
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian stood behind Liu Erlong.
Liu Erlong is now the new suzerain of the Landian Tyrannosaurus Rex family. She is going to fight in Xilu City. Facing the army of 80,000 people, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian volunteered to help and protect her.
Who would dare to compete with this lineup?
The soldiers guarding the city gate directly opened the city gate.
In fact, the soldiers knew that when they reached the level of Liu Erlong, they didn't need to pass through the city gate at all, they could jump in directly from the city wall.
They opened the gates to express a sense of surrender.
Liu Erlong and others stepped into the city, and soon came to the inner city castle of King Haagen-Dazs.
The Haagen-Dazs Kingdom is located in the northwest of the Tiandou Empire, adjacent to the West Sea.
A few years ago, the Pan-Continental Business Alliance found an excellent harbor with a suitable location on the coastline of Haagen-Dazs Kingdom.
The business alliance purchased the nearby land with a radius of 50 miles and became the permanent private land of the business alliance.
Then, the business alliance developed the bay.
Build a large dock suitable for various ships to berth and load and unload goods.
Route opened.
Several large roads were paved to connect this harbor with several nearby hinterland cities.
Form a smooth transportation network.
Since then, the goods of the Shangmeng have been continuously unloaded from this large wharf and shipped to all parts of the inland, and the goods from all parts of the inland are delivered to the wharf, and then shipped to the south for sale.
Vessels come and go.
Originally a desolate place, because of the birth of this harbor, it quickly prospered.
The number of people who come to work and settle here is increasing.
Relying on the seaport, the settlements, shops, trading stations, etc. have been continuously expanded outward.
In a few years, on this seaside wasteland, a beautiful seaside city was miraculously built.
This is the first city built by the business alliance. Lu Feng named it, Pan Ancient City!
The prosperity of Pan Ancient City soon surpassed that of Xilu City, the main city of Haagen-Dazs Kingdom.
This shocked the nobles of Haagen-Dazs Kingdom.
King Lewis saw the great benefit and was very unwilling.
At that time, when Shangmeng bought this land from Lewis, it was very cheap.
The seaside land has high salt content and a lot of sand, making it difficult to grow plants. It is not suitable for farming or grazing. It has always been a wasteland and wasteland that no one wants.
Therefore, when Liu Erlong, the president of the business alliance, sent a general manager to buy this land from Lewis, Lewis was very happy.
I feel that the businessmen have a lot of money, and they give him money like a fool.
To actually spend money on that piece of worthless wasteland.
No grass and no mines.
Only the sea breeze kept blowing.
So, after some negotiation, Lewis sold the land with a radius of about 50 miles to the Shangmeng for a price of 100,000 gold soul coins.
Signed a contract, stamped with the seal of the king, all procedures are recognized as legal and valid.
Unexpectedly, that piece of wasteland, in the hands of the business alliance, turned decay into magic, not only turned into a beautiful seaside city, but also turned into a huge cash cow.
Every day, a large amount of goods are unloaded from large merchant ships, and the goods that go out are loaded from the wharf to the ship.
Moreover, this Pan Ancient City, which is even more prosperous than Xilu City, has undergone a series of renovations, and its environment and landscape have been greatly improved.
The business alliance transported fertile soil by sea, and transplanted many trees, flowers and plants suitable for growing by the sea, such as palm trees, sea palms, and yucca.
Clean up the beach and get a crescent-shaped golden sand coast.
Invite top designers and broken families to design, build and build houses in a unified way.
Gradually, this harbour city has become a pleasant resort with green trees and flowers everywhere.
attracts many tourists.
After the tourists gathered, the ancient city of Pan became more prosperous and made more money.
Lu Feng knew from the concepts he absorbed in his previous life that tourism was a particularly profitable commodity.
If a city becomes a resort, natural energy sources will continue to attract tourists to travel, shop and consume, and working in a resort is also a very comfortable thing, serving multiple purposes.
Lewis found that his concubines also liked to go to Pancheng.
Because Pan Gucheng has a very complete range of goods and favorable prices, it is a shopping paradise and a very popular seaside resort.
Listening to the chirping of seagulls, looking at the endless blue sea, the blue sky is full of white clouds, the sea and the sky meet, after shopping, take a swim in the clear water, step on the soft golden sand beach, lie down under the palm trees, and have a drink coconut milk.
What a pleasure, what a pleasant life.
And these all cost money.
The golden soul coins all entered the pockets of the business alliance.
Lewis was upset.
More and more coveted the big fat of the ancient city of Pan.
Therefore, Lewis asked the business alliance to sign a supplementary agreement.
This is tantamount to violating the spirit of the contract, but for the sake of this big piece of fat, he can't control that much.
He is the king and has the power to make laws in his domain.
What he said was the law of the king.
Lewis demanded that Pancheng be assigned a city lord appointed by him, and some tax collectors.
Supervise the movement of goods, value all goods entering and leaving the port, and collect a 10% commodity tax on the total value of the goods.
That is to say, if a product is valued at ten gold soul coins, Lewis will take away one gold soul coin regardless of whether the product is sold to make money or not.
When the business alliance purchased or sold goods, it had actually paid the king a bunch of extortionate taxes, such as transaction taxes, toll fees, and military expenses.
Therefore, this commodity tax is an additional tax.
Even the commodities produced by the business alliance itself, as long as they enter and leave the port, they must pay taxes.
He also used various excuses such as birthdays, concubines, childbirth, etc., to let the business alliances pay tribute and give gifts.
These conditions, the business alliance has met Lewis.
You can only do business if you are in harmony and make money. If you cause a dispute with the king and tear your face, you will not be able to earn a penny, and the funds invested in the past will be wasted.
The development of the developed hub and trade seaport will also lose its function.
In the early stage of the development of the business alliance, it is not expected to see.
Therefore, at that time, the business alliance could only endure Lewis' greed.
But some people's greed is a bottomless pit.
It didn't take long for Lewis to feel that the previous price of the land was unreasonable.
Ask the business alliance to compensate him with 10 million gold soul coins at one time.
Compared with the 100,000 gold soul coins when the land was sold, Lewis was equal to a hundred times the price of the land when the lion opened his mouth.
This time, the business alliance did not agree.
Because it is too unreasonable.
All procedures are complete and effective.
At that time, through contact with Xue Qinghe, Liu Erlong asked Xue Qinghe to come forward to help negotiate.
Finally reached an agreement, and finally each took a step back.
Compensation to King Lewis of five million gold soul coins, to be paid in three years.
Reduced by half, the business alliance can get it.
Lewis was compensated fifty-fold, and was satisfied.
But this satisfaction is only temporary satisfaction.
Six months later, Lewis raised the commodity tax to 15 percent.
A few months later, it increased to 20 percent.
By now, the commodity tax has been as high as 30%!
That is to say, for every product of the Merchant Alliance, no matter whether you can sell it or not, and no matter how much profit you can make, you will directly charge 30% of the value of the item first. Forget it.
The king can formulate tax rules in his own territory, and the prince Xue Qinghe cannot interfere with this.
In this way, before and after Lewis, in the hands of the business alliance, squeezed and squeezed a huge amount of wealth.
Despite the heavy tax, Shangmeng can still make a lot of profits by cutting costs and increasing production.
When negotiating was useless, Liu Erlong could only accept it.
At that time, Lu Feng was in Gengxin City, Star Luo Empire, and handed over the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire to Liu Erlong.
However, even if he received such huge benefits from the business alliance, when the business alliance faced a major crisis, King Lewis dispatched troops at the fastest speed to control the ancient city of Pan.
The Haagen-Dazs army fought with the members of the business alliance, causing casualties among the members of the business alliance. Many houses were damaged, property and goods were looted, and Pan Ancient City suffered heavy losses.
Lewis was overjoyed when he ate big fat and became rich overnight.
But he wasn't happy for a few days.
Liu Erlong came.
Came with a small but unmatched lineup.
As soon as Liu Erlong and the others appeared, the tens of thousands of troops in Xilu City all knelt down and begged for mercy, and even took the initiative to open the city gate to surrender.
Lewis, who was wearing the crown, wanted to cry without tears, stood shivering on the castle, and almost fainted in horror.
