The brand-new asphalt road reflects the sun and stretches into the distance. Dozens of military trucks painted in three-color camouflage are like steel behemoths, whizzing past along this newly paved road, kicking up a cloud of dust. The wheels
It rolled over the road and made a dull roar, breaking the tranquility of the rural afternoon.
The villages in the northern part of the Eastern Continent were once devastated by war, but now they are a peaceful scene. There are no traces of gunpowder smoke or the pungent smell of gunpowder. The air is filled with the fragrance of earth, mixed with distant smells.
The fragrance of wheat comes from the fields.
The Tang army did not fall into annoying security battles as expected, nor did they encounter countless resisters. Everything seemed calm and orderly. The sound of guns and cries had now been replaced by laughter and laughter.
In the fields, farmers work hard and sow the seeds of hope; in the villages, children chase and play, with innocent smiles on their faces. Everyone is working hard to live, because the sunshine of hope has filled this land that has experienced vicissitudes of life.
of land.
The arrival of the Tang Empire not only brought the end of the war, but also brought liberation and rebirth, providing all poor working people with the possibility of a better life. A large number of factories and enterprises were built in the city.
, providing countless jobs, making the common people in the city busy and fulfilling. They have long
Going out late and returning home contributes their own efforts to building a new home. In the village, the once barren land has regained its vitality. The farmers are working hard in the fields, looking forward to the joy of the next year's harvest. They don't have any leisure time.
Because they know that only hard work can create a better future.
Those who received letters from their family members in the prisoner-of-war camps were full of hope for a new life. They clutched the letters in their hands tightly, as if they were holding the future, and their eyes shone with hope. They used the most peaceful words
Mentality, waiting for the safe return of one's children or husband from afar, and looking forward to the happy moment of family reunion.
The convoy of military vehicles raised dust and gradually disappeared at the end of the horizon. The civilians on both sides of the road who gave way stepped back onto the roadbed that had been crushed by wheels and walked towards their fields. The sun shone on them, reflecting their simplicity.
The figure also illuminates this land that has been baptized by war.
On the edge of the field, you can occasionally see traces of the war - a rusty heavy artillery, lying there quietly, with the barrel pointing to the sky, as if it is still telling the story of the glorious past. Not far away,
The remains of an abandoned tank were half buried in the soil and half exposed to the sun. The erosion of time made it mottled, like a sleeping steel behemoth.
Once, these war machines symbolized death and destruction, but now they have become part of the land, blending quietly into the surrounding environment. Children played around the tank wreckage without any fear, as if it was just a pile of
Ordinary scrap iron. Farmers working in the fields, their eyes swept over the heavy artillery without a trace of ripples, as if it was just an ordinary stone. The haze of war has dissipated, and fear has long been replaced by hope.
The military vehicles of the Tang Army no longer transport weapons and ammunition, nor do they send additional soldiers. The once frequent military mobilization has stopped. The troop carriers have become transport vehicles, the military trains have become cargo trains, and the military vehicles that come and go no longer carry military supplies.
, but running between cities and villages fully loaded with equipment and parts needed to resume production.
Military vehicles, like industrious worker bees, sow the seeds of hope to every corner of this land. In the fields, the roar of machines replaced the sound of guns, and in the factory, the trumpets of workers replaced the soldiers' chants.
Scream. This land is rejuvenating, the sunshine of peace is shining on the earth, and people's lives are full of hope.
The rebuilt Yongdong Port has a brand new look and is full of vitality. The towering tower crane stands at the dock like a steel giant, waving its huge mechanical arm to lift heavy containers from the freighter and place them steadily on the waiting
On a truck nearby.
A group of dwarf dock workers, wearing hard hats and reflective vests, shuttled between busy docks. They no longer carried goods on their backs as they did in the past, but operated various modern loading and unloading equipment in an orderly manner.
Direct the flow of goods in an orderly manner.
Occasionally, there will be some special goods that require their own hands-on handling. For example, those brand-new cars unloaded from the transport ship. These cars are carefully fixed on special brackets, and experienced dwarf workers operate the mechanical equipment.
Transport them slowly from the cabin.
These cars shine with metallic luster and streamlined body design, all demonstrating the advanced manufacturing technology of the Tang Empire. Their colors are different, as brilliant as a rainbow, shining in the sun. These cars are not native to the Eastern Continent.
The products came from the distant Western Continent and were the "people's cars" continuously produced by the Tang Empire.
The production machines of the Tang Empire seemed to never stop for a minute. Countless cars had already been shipped to the Eastern Continent for sale before the war had completely stopped.
"Mr. Leibert, congratulations! This batch of cars can bring you at least 5 million gold coins in profit, right?" A customs official from the Tang Empire handed the statistical report to Leibert who was standing at the door of the warehouse.
Special, his tone was full of envy.
Leibert is now an elf businessman with a title from the Tang Empire, but his title is much lower than before. So he also prefers others to call him Mr. Leibert instead of Sir Leibert. He is smiling.
, looking at the hundreds of cars lined up neatly in front of him, his heart was filled with joy and pride. He was once a successful businessman in the Yangmu Empire, but since the arrival of the Tang Empire, his career has obviously reached a higher level.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No, I'm just a small businessman." Leibert answered modestly, but there was a trace of pride in his eyes. He knew that this batch of cars
The actual value is far more than 5 million gold coins, and even exceeds 10 million.
Although these cars were just ordinary civilian cars in the Tang Empire, they were very rare consumer goods in the Elf region. With affordable prices and excellent quality, these cars would be sold out soon. Leibot took a fancy to this business opportunity and brought
These cars are sold to the Elf region at relatively low prices, making huge profits from them.
"You are so humble, Mr. Leibert. Your business is really big!" the customs official said with a smile: "You must be prepared for the customs duty of one million gold coins."
Leibert readily signed the customs declaration document and handed the form back to the customs official: "I can still afford this small amount of money."
He said with a smile. Although the tariff of 1 million gold coins made him feel a little pain, it was nothing compared to the huge profits he was about to obtain.
Probably the most successful investment in his life was when he sent his son John to the Datang Group. Now that unsatisfactory son has become a high-ranking and powerful figure in the Datang Empire, so naturally he, as a father, can
There are many conveniences.
If it weren't for his son named John, he wouldn't have been able to get these cars to the Western Continent so easily, and he wouldn't have been able to get the People's Auto sales agent qualification so easily... In short, he was very proud of his achievements back then.
That decision.
This world is a huge market, bustling with people and filled with all kinds of transactions. Some people are buying low and selling people's cars at high prices, while others are conducting large transactions such as airplanes... This is how the world works.
The airline invested by Duke Egret made a generous one-time purchase of 150 advanced jet airliners. These giant steel birds will soar in the sky of the Eastern Continent, injecting new vitality into the Eastern Continent aviation industry of the Datang Empire. This transaction
The transaction was huge in amount and of extraordinary significance. Even for the Tang Empire, which had strong financial resources, it was an investment that should not be underestimated.
Because of this, Duke Egret must personally attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the airline held in the Eastern Continent. This is of great significance to him, not only as a business success, but also as the first time he has set foot on his homeland after leaving the Eastern Continent.
He chose Refeng Port as his landing point. Compared with Yongdong Port, the climate of Refeng Port is more pleasant, and the warm sea breeze blows on the face, making people feel relaxed and happy. Although the modernization of Refeng Port has not been completed and the port facilities are slightly messy, it is comfortable
The climate more than makes up for these deficiencies.
The reason why Leibert's car did not choose to land at Rewind Port was because the port's throughput capacity had reached saturation and could not accommodate such a large amount of cargo. Therefore, Leibert could only choose other ports, even if the distance was longer.
Nothing can be done.
"I hope you can speed up the progress!" Just after landing, Duke Egret said to his men who came to greet him in the VIP channel, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone: "You know, His Majesty is likely to be crowned next month.
Ceremony, I absolutely cannot miss this important moment. Nothing is more important than this!"
He gave his men a limited time of three days. After three days, he will return on his own private cruise ship.
That’s right, it’s a cruise ship, not a yacht. As one of the richest men in the world, Duke Egret’s vision is far beyond that of ordinary people. Those small yachts with a displacement of several hundred tons cannot enter his eyes at all. His private cruise ship,
The displacement exceeds 4,000 tons, and the interior decoration is extremely luxurious, making it a palace on the sea.
After all, when His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty went out to patrol the seas, he would ride on behemoths such as aircraft carriers or the command ship Marshal Bernard. In comparison, Duke Egret's private cruise ship was not an act of transgression. Therefore,
He did not hesitate to build his cruise ship into the most luxurious palace on the sea.
"Your Majesty, we know that your time is very valuable. Everything is ready and the ribbon-cutting ceremony can be held tomorrow." The general manager of the airline said with a smile on his face and a "please" gesture respectfully.
Followed step by step behind Duke Egret.
Facing the godfather of world football, the owner of the famous Egret team, a ruthless character who once swept His Majesty the Emperor's Royal team with a score of 4:0, how could he not be respectful? This courage alone is enough to be admired.
Endless.
"Very good!" Duke Egret nodded and did not say a word to the other party.
The dock at Bunas Port is also a chaotic scene, with various goods piled up, people noisy, and the air filled with the salty smell of sea water and a faint fishy smell.
Against the background of this hustle and bustle, a man walked down the gangway calmly. He was wearing a simple black windbreaker and had a tall and straight figure, giving people a calm and reserved feeling. He raised his wrist and took a look
The watch seemed to be confirming the time. His deep gaze swept across the dock, as if he could see everything.
For the vast and populous Tang Empire, he may be just an insignificant existence, like a drop in the ocean, inconspicuous. However, to some people in the Eastern Continent, his arrival is like the calm before the storm.
, indicating some ominous sign.
On the pier, several men in black uniforms had been waiting for a long time. When they saw him walking down the gangway, they immediately stepped forward and stood at attention respectfully. This tall man was the important person they were going to meet on this trip: the bartender.
.He is always called the bartender, and it seems that he has always been just the bartender of the Silver Fox Tavern.
He nodded slightly in response to their salute, then walked among a few people and handed the suitcase in his hand to one of them.
"Thank you for your hard work." His tone was calm, but with unquestionable majesty: "Since I'm here, it means that the work has begun."
He paused, glanced at everyone, and his tone became more serious: "Your Majesty does not allow the existence of any black crows and similar drugs. All private manufacture, sale, and use of such drugs are illegal."
This kind of thing has always been strictly controlled in the Western Continent, but it is rampant in the Eastern Continent. Sophia deliberately promoted it here, leaving a mess of abuse of black crows. The bartender was sent here this time,
It is to completely eliminate the black crow problem.
"I understand." Several people responded in unison, their voices full of awe.
"Very good." The bartender nodded with satisfaction.
Several people helped the bartender open the car door quickly and orderly, with clean and well-trained movements.
The bartender bent down and got into the car. The black car slowly started and drove towards the city. The other people also returned to the cars on both sides. These cars with government license plates were like black ghosts.
He left the dock quietly.
Those who use black crows themselves, those who give green light to the sale of black crows, and those who make money from it still don't know that their good days are over.
