The news of Twain's thunderous recovery of Bloody Rock City, the capital of the Kingdom of Gris, was quickly spread throughout Prandal by Fiona and Alleria through the power of Tang Daily News, Tang Broadcasting, and Magic-Energy Projection Television. In the blink of an eye, almost all human settlements knew of Twain's glorious achievements.
In a chain hot pot restaurant in Alinx, the cold winter wind was blocked outside, and the restaurant was filled with an appetizing aroma. Bright red hot pot was placed on every table, and the thick fat had absorbed the essence of the chili. It kept boiling and rolling, and fresh and delicious ingredients were placed on the table, ready to be put into the pot at any time.
In this bitterly cold winter, there was no better food than hot pot. The hot pot chain business that Tang En and Victor developed back then once again welcomed the annual best-selling season.
However, the delicious food in front of them did not attract the attention of the diners in the hall at all. They were all staring at the magic energy holographic projection, listening attentively to the news on it.
"… At this point, Tang En Majesty has completely controlled Bloody Rock City, and the Gris Kingdom is history from now on …"
"… Our legion has annihilated a total of 400,000 enemies, and we have captured more than 100,000 people. These captives will be forced to undergo labor reform after being escorted back to the country. After receiving training, they will be placed in the mines, farms, and factory production lines to repay their sins through the construction of the Irus Empire …"
"… The residents of Bloody Rock City will be transferred out of Bloody Rock City in batches, and immigrants from other cities will be transferred to Bloody Rock City for the later stages of reconstruction and construction. Tang En Majesty has considered the difficult conditions in Bloody Rock City, so the volunteers will be rewarded handsomely in this' Western Development 'plan. Those who are willing to stay in Bloody Rock City for more than five years will be given a one-off house in the city, an enchanted car, and a complete set of enchanted daily necessities provided by the Datang Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, if you live in Bloody Rock City, you will receive twice the average salary of Ellington …"
"Those who are interested in participating in the Western Development can register at the nearest street office. This registration will last until next year's harvest month …"
After hearing the news, the crowd in the hot pot restaurant suddenly became restless.
A man laughed and said, "Development of the Western Region? It sounded great! There is a sense of honor in participating in a great historical event. "
"What? Are you tempted? "
"Who wouldn't be tempted by such good conditions? As long as you register and pass the selection, you can directly obtain a house! Right now, Alinx's house cost at least 10,000 Gold Coins, right? How many years will it take me to earn that little bit of income?! "
"Ten thousand gold? That was in the past. This year, everyone's average income has increased several times. I'm afraid that this price will have to be increased by a zero. Of course, if it's in the outer city, it probably won't be so expensive. "
"Actually, the house is just a small matter. The important thing is the magic-powered cars and the full set of daily necessities provided by the Datang Chamber of Commerce! Have you calculated how much it would cost to use Datang Chamber of Commerce's products at home? It has to be at least this much! "
A thin man raised two fingers.
Twenty thousand Gold?
"It's two hundred thousand!"
The thin man said with envy, "Now, Datang Chamber of Commerce's products have covered all aspects of our lives. Although most of the products are good quality and cheap, a small portion of them are very expensive luxury goods. We can't afford them at all. Only the rich nobles can afford them."
"In other words, as long as we pass the selection, we will also have a chance to obtain those magic-powered furniture?"
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty! The prerequisite is that we pass the selection! Tang En Majesty has never disappointed us. Since he promised, he will definitely do it. "
"That's great! If it wasn't for the dangerous route to Bloody Rock City, even I would want to try my luck. "
Another person who was excited was stunned when he heard this. "It's dangerous?"
"Yes, there are many bandits in the Western Wilderness. Let's not talk about how many lives the Soul-Eating Swamp devours every year. The Shadowy Forest is shrouded in shadows all year round. Who dares to casually step into it? Many people in the Blood Crow Mountains are eaten by the Blood Crows every year. That's actually nothing. The most important thing is that the climate of the Howling Plateau is terrible. Our winters here are simply too mild compared to there. Normal people can't stand the climate there at all. "
"How do you know so much about going to Grace?"
The middle-aged man drank a mouthful of wine and said with a melancholy expression, "Because I once had a caravan that made a lot of money. Later, this caravan was completely ruined on the road to Grace."
"I see. Here's to you."
The other person hesitated for a moment and said, "But what you said is all in the past, right?"
"Hm?"
"Since Grace has been taken over by Tang En Majesty, considering Tang En Majesty's usual style, I'm afraid that the Star Diamond Bank will soon start working with the Datang Chamber of Commerce to build a highway to Grace, right?"
That person said, "Even if the environment along the way is very bad, with the Tang En Majesty, the Star Diamond Bank, and the power of the Dragons, those bad conditions shouldn't be a problem."
The eyes of the surrounding people lit up. What he said made sense! Especially the businessman who spoke just now. He began to quickly calculate in his mind.
Didn't the Tang En Majesty always promote the principle of "If you want to get rich, you have to build roads first"? There was no reason not to implement it when it came to Grace.
If they really built a spacious road, then the time to reach Grace would be greatly reduced in the future. Safety would also be guaranteed. Although the risks and profits would be reduced, at least they would be able to keep their lives!
Only with their lives would they have the opportunity to spend money.
If the Grace Province was really going to follow the Tang En Majesty's example in the future and transfer all the local Grace people out in batches and replace them with outsiders, it was foreseeable that there would be a large migration of people. At the same time, it would definitely be accompanied by huge business opportunities. Perhaps, as long as they seized this opportunity, they would be able to earn enough money to spend for the rest of their lives!
It was feasible! It was really feasible!
After repeated calculations, the businessman finished the wine in one gulp and slammed it on the table. He felt a long-lost ambition burning in his chest again. "Waiter! Another glass! I want the strongest wine. I want to get drunk today! "
The waiter came over and rolled his eyes at him. They were in a hot pot restaurant, not a pub. They only had cider. What was there to get drunk for? What was he pretending for?
The same thing was happening all over the country. Those who were smart and had once benefited from the Datang Chamber of Commerce immediately began to think about what kind of business to do.
Grace used to be too isolated. Compared to the outside world, it was almost like a primitive society. This was not a bad thing because no matter what you transported there, it would definitely be a best-seller.
After the Western Development Plan began, there would definitely be a need for a large number of materials. Now, it was a competition of who was bolder and more insightful.
Although the Tang En's conquest of Grace made people rejoice, they were now more concerned about the substantial benefits that the "Western Development Plan" could bring them.
Ronicante, Nanira.
Oscar narrowed his eyes and tapped on the armrest. "The Western Development Plan … This slogan sounds good. It makes people feel that there's a lot of money to be made."
"Your Majesty, should we also find a way to participate? This is a good opportunity to make a lot of money. "
"Participate? How? "
Oscar scolded in annoyance. "Grace is now Irus' territory. This is their internal development strategy. What reason do we have to cooperate with them? Don't forget, we're the only ones who haven't returned from the three kingdoms of Solant, Grace, and Ronicante! "
"Hiss!"
The ministers gasped in unison. "Your Majesty, do you mean that Tang En's next target will be us?"
"It's hard to say, unless the other cities in Grace are still planning to resist and attract Tang En's attention."
"With such a great disparity in strength, would anyone still dare to resist?"
"It's hard to say. You know, there are far more idiots in life than you think, and some people have no choice, but …"
Oscar's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light. "My sister has already made such a great sacrifice. He shouldn't turn his back on her, right?"
"Maybe," a minister suggested. "The Datang Chamber of Commerce and the Star Diamond Bank have a good relationship. The two sides have always cooperated. Why don't we use the Star Diamond Bank's relationship to get on this train? We can take the opportunity to show some goodwill and ease the relationship with Irus. "
Would Tang En be able to change his original plan just by showing his goodwill?
Oscar didn't think so.
Tang En's current purpose was obvious. He wanted the Irus Empire to return to glory, and the recovery of all its territories was the first step he wanted to take.
It wasn't that Oscar wanted to stop Tang En, but the situation was already like this. As long as Tang En's purpose didn't change, then Lonitant was a threshold that couldn't be crossed.
Oscar pondered for a moment and nodded. "That's a good idea. Arrange it for me and let Reeves come … No, forget it. How about this, I'll go see Reeves and discuss the feasibility of cooperating to develop Grace. Even if we can't make a lot of money, we can't miss this opportunity."
Oscar was anxious to see Reeves and discuss the matter of cooperating to make money, but Reeves had already started shouting into his magical phone. "Jialian! Take this project! Even if you have to sell your ass to Tang En, you must take it! With the status of the Star Diamond Bank, we absolutely can't miss out on this big fat piece of meat that is the Western Development Plan! "
Putting aside whether or not Tang En would be interested in Jialian's ass, while the outside world was surging with excitement over his "Western Development Plan", Reeves, who had entered Bloody Rock City's castle, was standing in front of a room with an ugly expression.
