In order to prevent someone from bribing members of the arsenal and stealing the forging process of sharp-grade alloys, Zhang Yunfeng deliberately managed various production departments separately. Almost every process was coordinated, just like some people were only responsible for transportation, and others
Responsible for the engraving... In short, even if someone accepts all the workers, it is impossible to obtain the forging process of sharp-grade alloy from them.
You must know that sharp-grade alloys must rely on specific machines to be made. With the current technological level of Augus Continent, it will take hundreds or thousands of years to produce those forging machines. It is absolutely impossible to do it. Take a step back.
For example, even if Austin could assemble a batch of machines, without a unique process formula, there would be no way to create sharp-grade alloys.
"As long as Wesley is here, it's impossible for the nobles placed by the royal family in the arsenal to understand those forging instruments."
Zhang Yunfeng smiled disdainfully and said to himself: "If that respected man knew that he had spent so much effort to bribe the people in the arsenal, but in the end couldn't get anything at all, I don't know what his expression would be like."
"Master, are you really going to move all the arsenals?" Sarah looked a little reluctant. She pulled the Fengyun Business Group out with her hands and feet, just like a child. It was so hard to just give up on the victory in Combeda.
She was really reluctant to let him go. But now that Zhang Yunfeng had opened his mouth, even if she was reluctant to let him go, she must resolutely carry out his orders.
However, Fengyun Arsenal is much more important than Fengyun Merchant Group. It can be said that the success of Fengyun Wind Group is inseparable from the influence of Fengyun Arsenal. In the past six months, at least close to half of the military officials in Combeda have passed through the arsenal.
They all have a relationship with them.
As long as the arsenal is still there, these military officials will naturally stand unswervingly on their side. Once the arsenal is moved outside, it may not have any impact if it lasts for a while. But if it takes a long time, this will
The military connections she had finally managed to win over would probably disappear sooner or later, and Sarah was not willing to lose the support of these connections.
"Of course we have to move them all." Zhang Yunfeng said without thinking.
"Can we evacuate a group of people first, and wait until things are settled in the fiefdom before moving the arsenal?" After thinking for a moment, Sarah expressed her opinion, and then looked at Zhang Yunfeng with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Hope: "We can keep some manpower and machines and use the arsenal here in Combeda as a branch factory."
From Sarah's eyes, Zhang Yunfeng could read her psychological thoughts, and he also understood that moving these industries away would cause the loss of all the contacts and relationships Sarah had built over the past six months. However, the current situation is very serious and cannot tolerate him.
Don't do this.
"This is impossible!" Shaking his head, Zhang Yunfeng stated his interests: "The arsenal can reach its current scale, and it must have attracted a group of interested people, the biggest of which is the royal family. If I still stay in Kangbeida, I will still be there.
It's okay, at least the two mercenary workers, Bruce and Baroque,
The branch president of the Huihui and Magic Guild will look out for me and will come forward to help protect this industry. Once I leave, they will have no reason to interfere in the affairs of the arsenal. At this time, the royal family will definitely not turn a blind eye.
I won’t eat it with such a piece of fat in my mouth.”
"You mean, His Majesty will take away the arsenal by force?" Sarah said in disbelief. Born as a slave, she had been instilled in her the idea of absolute obedience to the imperial power since she was a child. Zhang Yunfeng's statement was really shocking. The royal family would actually do this.
It was unimaginable for her to seize a noble's property.
"Huh! Austin has wanted to do something to me for a long time. It's not surprising at all that he would do these things." The people present were either his confidants or his lovers. Zhang Yunfeng made no secret of his hostility towards the royal family and openly acted openly.
Sting's name taboo: "I was originally named a Duke, but he caused countless troubles for me.
Counting the noble enemies was a precursor to his attack on me. Now even the chaotic land where the sea monsters are raging and entangled with the Edimpus Empire has been given to me as a fiefdom. It is clear that he hopes that I will die there.
, now they are just taking away some of my property, there is nothing impossible about it.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. It is true that His Majesty's actions revealed murderous intentions. I wonder if it is so strange for a man who must be killed to take away his property before killing him.
"Master, I understand!" Sarah lowered her head in shame.
"But your proposal is also a good one. Although the arsenal must be evacuated, we can leave a branch here." Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said: "But this branch is just a cover. It is treated as our presence in Kangxi.
A stronghold in Al-Baida leaves absolutely no machines behind and only resells the weapons transported from the territory to the army."
Zhang Yunfeng has already thought about it, the arsenal must be moved, but the framework that Sarah worked so hard to build in Combeda is not easy, so it is a pity to give up like this. In this case, why not make use of resources and turn the industry here
It was changed into a transfer station, specifically for weapons that would be manufactured from the fiefdom in the future.
In this way, he can not only keep the military connections that Sarah has attracted, but also leave eyes and ears in Combeda to get some needed information.
"Thank you, Master." Sarah said gratefully.
"You don't need to thank me. You have worked hard to build the shelves here at Kangbeida. I can't just watch the fruits of your labor go to waste." Zhang Yunfeng waved his hand.
"Then when should we leave!" Aiqier asked from the side.
"Of course it's getting better and better, especially these days." Zhang Yunfeng turned around and looked at Ai Qier: "Judging from the current situation, the relationship between the royal family and me has reached the point of incompatibility.
If I stay here in Combeda, I'm afraid something will happen."
"So urgent!" Ai Qier pursed her red lips. She obviously didn't expect Zhang Yuncheng to be in such a hurry and have to move as soon as he left the customs.
"It's late!" Zhang Yunfeng said with a wry smile: "The edict of the title was spread throughout the empire half a month ago. Before, I was in seclusion because the fiefdom was not confirmed. Now that the fiefdom has been confirmed, I will stay in Kangbei
Staying here will only give Austin an excuse to deal with me openly, so it would be better for us to leave as soon as possible."
Aiqier nodded after thinking about it and said: "I will go back to the family first and arrange the family's connections to purchase some things necessary for building the territory."
"Well! You go ahead! Go early and come back early!" Zhang Yunfeng did not hesitate and immediately agreed with Ai Qier's approach. Building a territory is an extremely serious project. Without the assistance of other major forces, it is impossible to rely solely on
He is alone and God knows he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.
Aiqier stood up and left the hall quickly.
Watching Ai Qier leave, tapping the square table made of cork with his fingers, Zhang Yunfeng thought over the draft of territory construction and asked Sarah: "How much funds do we still have that we can use now."
To build a desolate primitive territory, although he has unparalleled scientific and technological information in Augus Continent, but to build such a desolate land several times the size of Combeda into a territory, so
The gold coins required are not a small amount.
The last time he was in Liberty City, by chance, Zhang Yunfeng won by squeezing himself and made a huge profit of nearly 300 million gold coins. Counting all the money he had saved before, the total amount of money was nearly 400 million gold coins. Such a huge sum of money
, some new kingdoms were replaced, and they couldn't be used for a while, but it was still not enough to build the territory. At most, it was just a fraction of the amount.
Of course, it is better to make a small change than not to get a penny at all, but after getting the 300 million gold coins in the Free City, in addition to keeping 100 million gold coins with him, he has long missed Roger and Yakoda for the other 200 million gold coins.
The money was sent back to Combeda, and now it was in Sarah's hands. Naturally, he wanted to ask Sarah.
"Last time, the young master asked Roger and the others to bring back 200 million gold coins, and I used them to expand the Fengyun Merchant Group!" Sarah said with a bitter face, looking a little disappointed: "Some time ago, in order to expand Kangbeida, we merged a group of Chinese
The small arsenal cost 60 million gold coins. Later, integrating and recruiting manpower cost more than 20 million, and now only more than 10 million gold coins are left."
"What, you spent almost 90 million?" Zhang Yunfeng was startled, and then his face changed drastically. His eyes widened and he stared at Sarah's face without blinking.
In the past, I often heard people say that money is like running water, but now he finally sees it. Ninety million gold coins, if exchanged for gold coins, can definitely pile up a mountain of gold. Ninety million gold coins are spent in a few months, almost every day
It only costs one million gold coins. If these gold coins are melted, not to mention trickling streams and surging waterfalls can be obtained.
"I'm sorry!" Her eye circles were slightly red, and there was a faint sparkle in her eyes. Sarah's head was lowered very low, and her head was almost touching her high chest. If it weren't for her ambition, she was eager to make some achievements to show to Zhang Yunfeng to prove it.
My own abilities will not expand my power wildly.
Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the changes. The business empire she wanted to build was stillborn before it was completed, and the merger and integration plan that she had worked so hard to achieve was completely aborted. This is nothing, the worst thing is that before
The 90 million gold coins spent are expected to take at least three or two years to recover the cost. It has only been less than half a year now. Even if there is a slight profit, it is impossible to recover 90 million gold coins.
"Forget it! Don't we still have 100 million gold coins?" Zhang Yunfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, with a lingering bitterness on his face. Sarah can't be blamed for this, she also tried to do it responsibly.
After some achievements, she would spend 100 million gold coins so boldly. The starting point of Sarah's plan was correct. After a few years, the arsenal completely occupied the doorway that Rockwell Emperor needed to supply, and 90 million gold coins
You can get it back at any time.
The only reason to blame is that he decided to withdraw all the major industries at this time, disrupting Sarah's original plan, which made it impossible for her to earn her money back for a while.
But fortunately, Sarah only spent 90 million gold coins, which means she still has at least 100 million gold coins in her hand. Counting the 100 million gold coins on him, she can sell some treasures and make up 30 million gold coins.
Four hundred million gold coins is still no problem.
"The Fengyun Chamber of Commerce still has seven million gold coins in its books. If the young master needs it, I can take out this money." Sarah tried to redeem herself from her dereliction of duty.
"I said no." Zhang Yunfeng didn't expect that Fengyun Merchant Group would earn millions of gold coins not long after it was established. However, although he is short of money now, he has not yet been short of millions of gold coins.
This note read: "Arranging business groups also requires a lot of money. I'll leave these seven million for you to prepare for various unexpected situations!"
"Yes!" Sarah nodded and did not continue.
"Okay, let's arrange things here first. You all go back and make your own arrangements. Notify everyone of the news. If you are willing to leave, I will not force you. If you are willing to stay and go to the deserted land with me, I am very welcome."
Zhang Yunfeng looked around at everyone in the hall and said in a deep voice.
In extraordinary times, extraordinary means must be used. Zhang Yunfeng will not force those who are unwilling to take risks to follow him. As for those outsiders, let them continue to stay in Kangbeida. Anyway, what he needs are those who are extremely loyal to him.
It’s better not to take his subordinates and other people with ulterior motives with him on the road, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Roger and Sarah were very straightforward and took their respective deputies to deliver Zhang Yunfeng's instructions.
"Wow! This is the prince who is traveling. The team has been walking for tens of minutes and is not over yet. Looking at it, there must be at least a thousand people?"
Two days later, outside the east gate of Combeda, a team of over a thousand people drove out of Combeda in a mighty manner, attracting countless passers-by to watch and talk endlessly.
"There are only a few princes of the empire. They are all outside. How could they appear in Combeda?" said one of the civilians who were watching.
"According to the information I received, the owner of this team is just a duke." Among the besieging crowd, a small nobleman with a rat head and a rat brain said in a low voice.
"Duke, don't brag. How can a duke show up in such a big scene? This is definitely the style of a prince. If a duke creates such a battle, he will not be afraid of offending the great dukes and princes in the imperial capital.
." The words of this little nobleman quickly attracted the attention of the people around him.
"You don't know this. Normal Dukes naturally don't have the courage, but this Duke is different!" After being refuted by so many people, the little nobleman's expression did not change and he laughed meaningfully.
"Why..." People couldn't bear to ask about the source of the little noble's information and quickly asked.
"Because this Duke has a lot of background." The little nobleman smiled mysteriously.
"What's the background?" The onlookers were all intrigued and asked eagerly.
"Which Duke is the most popular in Combedari now?" Facing the expectant eyes of countless people, the little nobleman's vanity suddenly filled up and he said with a smile.
"It turns out it's him! No wonder there is such a big pomp!" After the little nobleman said this, the onlookers immediately knew the identity of the duke, and many people expressed their natural expressions.
In Combeda today, there are dozens of dukes at least. But the most popular duke is only a handful. Just pick up anyone on the street and they can give you the answer.
The answers are 100% the same.
This duke is really too famous, and he is also a controversial figure. Although he has just been promoted to duke, he has attracted the hostility of countless nobles. Even the noble hall has come forward. Nearly 70% of the nobles have revolted and joined forces to force the palace.
To remove the title of the new Duke.
But unexpectedly, His Majesty seems to be very fond of the new Duke. He did not give in. He even denounced the nobles in the hall and got so angry that all the nobles who made the revolt fled. From then on, he did not dare to mention this matter again.
Even the fiefdom given to the duke was actually several times larger than that of Combeda, enough to equal the territory of some principalities.
It would be good if the duke's fiefdom could be one-tenth the size of Combeda. The size of the duchy's fiefdom is almost equal to that of the grand duke. In the eyes of the common people, this is a typical example of using power for personal gain, which is very problematic.
For His Majesty to be able to defend and favor him to such an extent, if they had not known that the Duke was definitely not a member of the royal family, many people would even think that the Duke was His Majesty's illegitimate son.
Of course, these news were just rumors circulating among the people. The group of nobles who participated in the attack did not take any further action. It was not because they were really frightened by His Majesty's defense of that person. It was because they knew that it was not necessary at all.
Ordinary civilians may not know the reason, but in the aristocratic circle, as long as the aristocrats who have a little say in the top management know that the desolate land is basically a place of death, and it is not much different from committing suicide. The imperial regulations clearly stipulate that when the Duke arrives
After the fiefdom is established, you will not be able to leave the fiefdom within ten years without His Majesty's edict.
In that deserted land, a large number of sea monsters would invade every ten days and a half. No matter how many people that guy brought there, they would only become the sea monsters' meal in the end, and they would never die again. Everyone
After death, these nobles would naturally not have the leisure to care so much about the dead person. In their eyes, the other party was already a dead person.
"Your Majesty, we have already set off." Somewhere above the east city gate, two figures were standing there, looking at the retreating team in front of them, one of them said.
"Everything is just as I planned. When he arrives at the fiefdom, my plan will be fully launched." The other person was covered in a black robe, but his voice was so majestic that it made people's faces change.
Some nobles present would definitely be able to hear the voice of their Majesty Austin.
"But how can you be sure that they can reach that deserted place safely? If the Holy See of Light attacks them on the way, your plan will fail." The second worshipper said calmly.
"Second Worshiper, you underestimate that kid. If the Holy See really wants to kill him, it would have to at least send out a demigod to succeed. But is it so easy for a demigod to take action in the secular world?" Austin said with a smile.
