Chapter 281 Leon's Means on
Iron Furnace Castle, the conference hall of Lord Sal's Mansion.
Thirty-seven representatives of the various forces of the iron furnace castle looked at the contract in front of them and looked at each other in front of each other.
Negotiations have just begun, and without any verbal confrontation, Leon actually offered a condition that surprised everyone.
This makes these sly nobles and businessmen puzzled, because the rumored Leon is definitely not a talkative person, but now his performance is not consistent with the rumors at all.
Is Leon really afraid of them and unwilling to offend the forces behind them?
This seems to be the only explanation.
Viscount Carrington looked at the contract carefully. With his experience, he could not see any traps in the above terms, which was completely in line with Leon's statement.
He gave it to the old fox reluctantly. The other party also read it and handed it to another nobleman next to him without saying a word.
The contract was passed on among everyone, and the atmosphere in the conference hall was very strange. Leon sat motionless and patiently on the main seat.
After the contract turned around in everyone's hands, Leon knocked on the table and said, "Guys, do you have any other opinions?"
Opinions? What else can you think about such a good condition?
Viscount Carrington's heart was full of heart. Regardless of many doubts in his heart, he grabbed the pen and signed his name at the end of the contract.
There are 37 alliances, and he is not afraid that Leon will tear up the contract.
At the beginning of Viscount Carrington, others followed and signed their names on it in turn.
After they were all signed, Leon took it and signed his name and stamped it, and finally handed it over to the priest of the Tomund Temple to witness.
When all the procedures were completed, the Iron Furnace Fortress officially changed its owner, and its control was transferred to 37 alliances.
A smile appeared on Leon's face: "From today on, the Iron Furnace Castle will officially belong to you. I hope that both of us will strictly abide by the contract and not do anything to hurt each other's friendship."
After a pause, he continued, "I will move out of here before tomorrow.""Your Excellency, you'd better keep this mansion. I don't think everyone will have any objection." Viscount Carrington said with a fake smile.
In fact, he wants to get this building that symbolizes the highest power of the iron furnace castle, but this covetion must not be easily revealed in front of everyone.
And for others, now that they have got the most important thing, a house is nothing, and after all, Leon is a lord, and there must be a place to deal with him in the future.
As for what they meant, Leon just smiled faintly.
The negotiation meeting between the Sal's side and the Iron Fortress forces soon ended, and thirty-seven representatives left with excitement, excitement and doubt.
This night, the whole iron furnace castle was immersed in a restless atmosphere.
The next morning, Leon moved to the manor outside the Iron Furnace Castle, which originally belonged to the Iron Furnace Guard, but now it has become Leon's temporary residence.
The former Iron Furnace Fort garrison headquarters went to the empty building, and 500 thunder beast warriors left with Leon.
The news that Leon transferred the control of the Iron Furnace to the Thirty-Seven Alliances quickly spread throughout the fortress in a very short time. Some cheered and some were puzzled.
However, because there is no patrol guard on the street, the security environment in the iron furnace castle has suddenly deteriorated, and there are many more fights, fights, theft and robberies.
The 37 alliances that gained control of the Iron Furnace Fortress fell into internal disputes. They were not the same in the first place. When it was time to share the fruits of victory, they naturally did their best to fight for their own interests.
Especially the industries left by Leon, which originally belonged to the gade, a large number of buildings, land and some shops, including the military headquarters, made these nobles and businessmen fight for blood.
The leadership authority that the Viscount Carrington finally erected collapsed in a very short time.
And Leon lived in the manor at this time, coldly watching the dog bite the dog in the iron furnace castle.
On the fifth day of moving out of the iron furnace fort, he finally waited for a long-awaited person.
"Lord, why did you give up the Iron Furnace Fort at no cost?"
In the small living room of the manor villa, an old lion knight asked Leon puzzledly, "Those greedy guys for nothing."
He is exactly Keane. Rhine, the commander of the former Iron Furnace Guard.
The old knight has officially retired, relieved of his responsibilities and power, and finally chose to join Leon's camp.
This has nothing to do with the cold reception he suffered in Tormond.
"In my opinion, the iron furnace castle is a piece of wind wolf meat..." Leon smiled and said, "They are willing to compete, and it is the best result not to cause me trouble!"
Wind Wolf is a low-level warcraft. Its barbecue fragrance is extremely attractive, and it tastes good, but it is very difficult to digest in the stomach.
Iron Furnace Fort is the only city in the Iron Furnace Fort area. The smelting and weapons manufacturing industry are developed, which looks very attractive.
However, there are many deep-rooted forces in the fortress, and the interests involved are even more complicated. If Leon wants to share a big cup of it, it is bound to attract everyone's resistance and rebound.
The Rhine family divided the iron furnace fort to Leon, which was absolutely unintentioned.
Leon saw through this, so he didn't pick up the hot potato at all.
But this does not mean that he easily gave up his own interests.
A huge animal skin drawing unfolded in front of the old knight. Leon pointed to the graphics drawn above and said, "I'm going to build a city that can accommodate more than 200,000 people on the southern plain of the Iron Furnace Fort, and build a smelting workshop in my own territory!"
A city with a scale of 200,000 people! Keane was shocked.
"This drawing was drawn by human craftsmen. I have prepared the funds for the construction of the city, recruited all the craftsmen and gobler slaves, and prepared to recruit 50,000 workers..." Leon said, "I will strive to complete the basic project within a year."
The old knight's eyes lit up. He saw Leon's ambition from this drawing and plan, and also understood why Leon abandoned the iron furnace fort.
At this moment, Keane made up his mind.
... Spring is strong, but the suburbs of the iron furnace castle are hot.
Thousands of orcs flocked here, and temporary camps rose up one after another. The plain less than ten miles away from the iron furnace fort turned into a busy construction site.
Leon issued a recruitment order within his territory to recruit a large number of soldiers and workers on favorable terms, which not only attracted the attention of the residents of the new territory, but also affected the surrounding areas of the Saarland.
The construction of New Sal City began almost overnight. The outstanding craftsmen of the human race led the begown slaves and tens of thousands of hired workers to work all night with the help of the priests of the temple.
A large amount of money is consumed like running water, and a large-scale city gradually reveals its outline.
In less than half a month, the Sarling Thunder Beasts Group completed the expansion, from the original 1,000 people to 10,000 people.
The soldiers who newly joined the Thunder Beast Corps include ordinary civilians, mercenary adventurers, and even depressed little nobles. They were attracted by the reputation and preferential treatment of Leon and the Thunder Beast Corps and joined the territorial army.
Near New Sal City, new soldiers join the Thunder Beast Corps camp every day.
This vigorous territorial city and territorial army construction has attracted a lot of attention.
Many people sneered at Leon's ambitious plan, thinking that Leon was simply crazy. Without the support of a large force, such crazy behavior would quickly exhaust his funds, and it was impossible to maintain the deformed prosperity for a long time.
But what they can think about, how can Leon not be ready for the backhand?
The funds for the construction of the territory have always been a big problem, especially the army is a gold-swallowing monster. Although Leon has knocked five million gold coins from the Rhine family, this money obviously cannot support the consumption of both sides at the same time.
So Leon borrowed five million gold coins from the Temple of Tormond with the original Sal City and the tobacco industry as a pledge. While building the new Sal City, he gave priority to building several super-large workshops.
More than half of the territory of Sal's territory is mountain forests, and there are endless ore resources in the mountains. Human craftsmen led by Rubin have explored no less than 20 large mineral deposits.
Several mineral deposits closest to the location of the new Saar collar were quickly opened up into mining areas, and the mined ore was continuously sent to the workshop through the road built by the original green goblin.
In just one month, black smoke rose from the first large workshop belonging to the New Sal collar. In the summer, part of a batch of refined weapons and equipment was handed over to the Southwest Provincial Garritory Army in accordance with the agreement, and the other part was sold to the north by the chamber of commerce affiliated to the mercenary union.
Before Leon ran out of funds, Salling opened up a new source of money.
The skills of Rubin's craftsmen have played a huge role in it. Under their guidance, the metal smelted and weapon armor, whether the quality is far greater than the goods of the iron furnace castle.
With large-scale manufacturing, strict management and excellent quality, the metal products of the big workshop defeated the competitors as soon as they appeared, and even won the praise of Wang [***]fang.
Orders kept pouring in from all directions, accompanied by the footsteps of merchants. At this time, the city of New Sal had just been built.
Sal's emerging smelting manufacturing industry first hit the iron furnace fort.
When the intrigues and aristocrats and businessmen woke up, they found that they had no possibility of fighting back against Leon.
