Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World - Chapter 632
Liszt stood by the huge window of the office, looking at the bustling scene outside.
Many buildings outside are under construction, some places are still laying foundations, some have begun to build walls, and some are being decorated.
The place where he is now is located on a small peninsula extending into the sea from the southern territory of the Horn Bay Alliance, and it is not far from the capital of the Horn Bay Alliance, Nisberg. It does not take half a day to reach Nice by riding a fast horse. fort.
Liszt began traveling on his own duties soon after receiving an appointment from Paul Greiman, Earl of Arda.
In his own official capacity, he approached Marcus, the chairman of the Council of the Horn Bay Alliance, and Joe Foster, who had an important influence in the council, and made a request to purchase a small piece of land, which will be used as a settlement for businessmen in the Northwest Gulf, It is used for supplying and drying goods.
Because the Horn Bay Alliance was busy with the war, it had a great impact on commerce and trade, and merchants from other countries were more or less affected here. Earl Graman sent someone to make this request, which did not surprise the council.
But they still refused.
The Jiaowan League is quite rich. Even though it has been a year since the war with the Jiaowan Church, the current financial resources are still not exhausted, so the council is not short of money.
But under the current situation, there is one thing that the Horn Bay Alliance can never have too much-arms.
Liszt grasped this pain point, and after repeated negotiations, he promised the council an ordnance supply worth about 500,000 Aldo silver shields to the Council on behalf of Earl Graman, and finally obtained this small corner called Lion’s Corner, occupying The land is about 50 mu.
One thing is not perfect, this small piece of land is considered to be borrowed, and the term is only thirty years.
After going through a series of surveying and mapping—the mercenaries came to Jiaowan and some surveying and mapping personnel—the agreement was sent to Earl Paul Greiman, who was still in the royal capital Jingyao.
The earl replied quickly, he agreed, and commended Liszt—this surprised Liszt, he thought he had screwed up—and urged him to sign a formal lease agreement with the Horn Bay Alliance as soon as possible.
The matter was quickly settled, and this unremarkable Lion’s Point became a small overseas territory of the Greiman family, certainly within thirty years.
Friedrich Liszt, Dennis MacFader, and Jeremy Irvine jointly became the managers of this small territory.
Lister is in charge of the communication with the Horn Bay countries, McFady is in charge of the construction of Lion’s Point, and Erwin is in charge of the mercenaries stationed here.
After several discussions, the three decided to build Shizijiao into a small town with comprehensive functions.
Although the place is not big, they have planned the dock area, administrative area, trade area, residential area, warehouse area, and military area in detail, and every inch of land must be used reasonably.
Lion’s Point was also renamed as Lion Harbor, and it soon became a large construction site, and buildings began to be built.
The city hall and the army barracks were the first to be completed. The mercenaries who came back from the Northwest Bay lived in the barracks and took on the security and defense tasks here under the command of McFady.
After the news that Northwest Gulf built a port at Lion Point, a large number of businessmen from Northwest Gulf who lived in Jiaowan heard the news and bought properties here.
They knew that Earl Graham had stationed a team of mercenaries here, and the merchants in the Northwest Gulf had great confidence in the force of the Greman family, so of course they preferred to live under the earl’s wing.
The nascent port also began to have merchant ships calling.
In short, this small piece of land, where there was not even a fishing village before, began to prosper day by day.
Liszt just took a long trip—to the Principality of Inton to learn about the latest situation there. The Principality of Inton recently announced that it recognized the legal status of spellcasters, which caused a sensation in the entire Horn Bay. Therefore, in a sense, it has the status of a diplomatic envoy Liszt had no choice but to go there to investigate in person.
This is the second day after he came back. Compared with when he left to go to Yin Dun, Lion Harbor has undergone new changes. Looking at the whole small place that is changing with each passing day, his heart is full of a sense of accomplishment.
Tuk tuk tuk! There was a knock on the office door.
“Please come in.”
The door opened, and a staff member of the city hall came in and said respectfully, “Master Liszt, there is a lady who claims to be Assitini and wants to visit you.”
“Assitini?”
An image of a beautiful woman with chestnut hair appeared in his mind.
“What color is her hair?”
“It’s sorrel, my lord.”
Sure enough, it was Servia. Liszt was a little excited, and was surprised why she came back. Shouldn’t Jiaowan be a place she was afraid to avoid?
“Thank you, please come in.”
“Yes, my lord.”
After waiting for a few minutes, there was a sound of soft footsteps outside the door. Before Sylvia left Jiaowan, she had lived with Liszt for a while, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, so Liszt was very familiar with her footsteps. Of course, the so-called co-living is just living in the same house, and there is nothing beyond the rules between the two.
The office door opened again, and a familiar face that he hadn’t seen for a long time reappeared in front of Liszt.
Sylvia is plumper than before, her skin is more radiant, her hair is more colorful, and all the changes make her look more beautiful and charming.
It seems that she is doing well in the Northwest Gulf. Without the pressure of Islam, she is more relaxed in spirit and life, and it is reasonable to become beautiful.
Sylvia walked in and closed the door gently.
“Perhaps…” Looking at the dazed guy on the opposite side, the witch smiled, “Should I call you Lord Liszt now?”
Liszt reacted and said with a smile: “No matter what happens to my position, we are still friends. Please sit down!”
After he motioned for Sevia to sit down, he poured her a glass of water himself.
“How’s life in the Northwest Bay?” Although they both wrote every month.
“Still the same. Sometimes priority, sometimes busy, but above all safety.”
“Hahaha, let me just say that you and your companions went to the right place. Since you are so satisfied, why did you come back? Could it be that… you want to miss it?”
There was a trace of resentment in Saivia’s eyes, “Can’t I come and see you?”
“Oh, sure, you’re welcome here anytime, Sylvia. But I’m sure you’re not just there for that, are you?”
“Okay!” Sylvia sighed helplessly, “I heard that the Yinton people no longer persecute spellcasters. Is this true?”
Liszt nodded, “It’s true.”
“I’d like to visit Yinton.”
