Now is a difficult time, even the empire's treasury is in deficit, but Baidi City can miraculously form a powerful legion in this war-torn period. The expenditure is huge, as can be imagined.
Huo Lang said proudly: "I am now managing the chamber of commerce established by Mu Bai. We have our own special industry and have accumulated a lot of wealth."
Han Yan's face changed slightly when she heard this. According to her understanding, the Chamber of Commerce in Baidi City is now the mainstream in the country, and almost all the wealth of the empire is gathered here. With such an amazing development momentum of Baidi City, I'm afraid it won't be used.
How long will it take to control the whole country? As Huo Lang said before, as long as Mu Bai is willing, he can build a new empire here at any time, it just depends on whether he is willing.
…
At night, Baidi City, which had been noisy all day, returned to peace.
In the center of the city, there is a newly built nine-story high-rise building. This building is cylindrical and made of cast steel. The roof is like a round cap, covering the entire building. It is lit with thousands of brilliant lights. The appearance looks extremely beautiful.
Now. Downstairs, there are layers of elite soldiers patrolling, and even in the sky, soldiers from the Fighting Mecha Corps are flying patrols, monitoring all the movements in the city.
This building is the newly built City Lord's Mansion.
In a conference hall on the top floor of the building, on both sides of a long table, nearly a hundred senior officers, staff, and chiefs of the goblin and dwarf tribes in Baidi City gathered. This is the highest decision-making council of Baidi City.
Most of the staff are presidents of the General Chamber of Commerce branches across the country, responsible for business and trade, while a few staff provide planning solutions for urban construction and administrative management.
In front of everyone, there is a cup of fragrant tea with steaming white mist, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
Mu Bai sat at the top, looking at the unfamiliar faces in front of him in surprise. He didn't know what method Huo Lang used to recruit so many masters and wise men. These people had once been in the empire.
But they all have quite a reputation.
The white-haired leader of the goblin clan, Yerushiu, coughed twice, and the atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly became extremely serious. He looked at Mu Bai and grinned, showing some shaky old yellow teeth, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Boy, I haven't seen you for just a few years, and the changes in you really surprised me. I won't say anything long-winded. Now that you are back, we all respect you as the city lord and are willing to obey your decisions at any time."
