Empires Start with Lords - Chapter 16

Ross’s original plan was to build this place as a place to collect tolls from caravans on a special trip.

Because Ross opened the map, he saw the winding west of the kingdom. There were originally many plains, but most of the closed roads were avoided because of the territories of the major kings.

In the Atlan Kingdom where Ross is located, the titles are divided into Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron, as well as Baron and Knight.

Ross never occupied public roads and eroded public territories, but the other earls, marquis, and dukes were all kings.

Ross looked at the map in his hand. His Goblin Forest was right in the middle of the west, and the terrain was flat, surrounded by mountains and deserts.

It is completely possible to build this place into the busiest fast lane in the entire Atlan Kingdom. Unfortunately, the entire Atlan Empire has been devoured by the king, and there is no living space for the so-called express lane.

For example, the territory of the leading nobles is too large, and they compete with each other. In such a pedantic environment, there is no way to divide a piece of land to build a road.

Therefore, although the Atlan Kingdom has a vast and pleasant climate and complete resources, it still has the slowest economic development among the six kingdoms.

Ross glanced at him and sighed helplessly.

Since this is the case, we have to build a free trade zone here, which is also the first trade zone in the Kingdom of Atlan that is completely open to the outside world.

Ross is sure that even if the trade zone does not attract many people to do business here, he can stabilize the economy in his territory.

Ross spent a lot of time developing a piece of Green Forest into an urban area, with an area of ​​200 square kilometers around the urban area, which will be developed into an agricultural town as a follow-up.

Because of the vast resources of wood and stone, Ross specially trained three quarrying teams, each with a hundred people, and fifteen teams of the same number specializing in logging and transportation.

Because of the transportation of these resources, Ross’s main resources are all self-sufficient, and he almost only needs to buy a map and then start the construction.

After Ross built a residential area that could accommodate 5,000 people, he built a 500-meter-long commercial street around the residential area. On both sides of the street were large and small shops, and several Large farmers market, development of agriculture and animal husbandry.

Civilians can come here and do business.

In just the past three days, more than 2,500 civilians have migrated from the urban area of ​​Ross. Ross calculated that only seven people came from other territories, and the rest were the original civilians in his own territory.

It seems that the news is still too congested.

Ross ordered Babur to ride horses to a large city only 80 kilometers away, the territory of the Marquis of Rexel, the city of Rexel.

Ross asked Babur to dig people there. First, he wrote down all the conditions here and made a thousand flyers.

Ross said: “You bring fifty knights, pretend to be a passing caravan, and then put it on every house in a hidden alley…”

Hearing Ross’s words, Babur’s eyes straightened.

What?

Is this still possible?

Babur looked bewildered and thought, what else is it hard to live with Lord Lord?

After Ross finished speaking, he kicked Babur’s ass, and Babur rode on his horse and led fifty knights to open the door.

“Damn, wearing so hard it hurts my legs.”

Ross looked at Babur’s back and cursed angrily.

Immediately, he called some of his most trusted knight commanders to speak.

Ross’s remarks are almost the same as what he said to Babur, except that this time it is not the big city of the marquis, but the small towns of the dozen or so earls on the list.

Although there are only four or five thousand civilians in these small towns, but because they are in a war zone, they have to pay a lot of taxes, and their lives are very miserable.

It is also the most hopeful of success.

After Ross finished speaking, several knight commanders widened their eyes: “How could this be possible?”

Knight Commander Wayne raised his eyelids and said amusingly, “Lord Lord, isn’t it good for us to do this?”

Ross also kicked his **** by himself, and said angrily, “Let’s go quickly. When you come back, you must bring back news about the surrounding cities and other territories.”

Ross touched his nose. He always felt that the eldest prince of the Atlan Kingdom would not let him go like this. The fact that he has not made any movement for the past half month shows that the eldest prince is planning something else.

Ross felt unsure of all this, so he had to ask his subordinates to inquire about the news from the royal family.

It is more than 600 kilometers away from the Royal Palace. The Royal Palace is the most prosperous area in the center of Bamana, the capital of the Atlan Kingdom.

It is also known as the most economically developed area of ​​the entire Atlan Kingdom, but unfortunately it does not accept ordinary civilians to live with other races.

Racial thinking and the wealth gap create even greater dangers.

Ross plans to build this place into a commercial city that is comparable to the most prosperous area of ​​the imperial capital within three years.

Then, according to the construction of this city, we will continue to expand the territory.

First of all, Ross needs to turn the three cities into three points, all of which are Ross’s territory.

The first territory was given the title of Eye of Hope by Ross, and then the second territory was called the Hand of Hope, and this Goblin Forest was simply called Green Forest.

The population of the Eye of Hope has expanded dramatically, and Ross is very happy, because this is his first territory and the longest built. Currently, it is also 30 kilometers away from Green Forest.

The Hand of Hope is only two kilometers away from the Eye of Hope. The two territories each have a range of 200 square kilometers. If Ross fully develops the Green Forest, he can obtain 1,500 square kilometers of land.

And Ross has only developed less than 100 square kilometers.

As for building the moat, Ross is still thinking about how big it should be. After all, if it’s too big, it’s a waste of resources, and if it’s too small, it’s not enough.

While Ross was troubled, the first Roman Colosseum and Colosseum were built.

Ross, on the other hand, established a commercial street here, which is to sell the surrounding of the star players in the Colosseum.

Having said that, Ross plans to organize a beast fighting contest and an athletic contest when the knights triumph.

However, unlike the imperial capital, Ross would not ask the nobles to pay a lot of money and sit on it and watch a group of slaves kill each other. What Ross advocates is pacifism that everyone is equal, and will never create class solidification.

Ross plans to allow all civilians to watch the battle, and only need to pay two silver coins.

Ross touched his nose, thinking about how to deal with the nobles.
