One hundred and fortieth chapters surrounded by a siege
Chapter 144: Siege
A city in the desert, and a small territory in the rocky mountains.
If we take it seriously, the situation of Gray Dragon Castle is actually much better than that of the Casino. After all, there is no need to worry about the site and equipment here, and there is no need to pay taxes to anyone.
You must know that when the king gave this place to Wang Wei as his territory, he did not leave any statement that Wang Wei would need to pay taxes, because no matter anyone looked at it, it was impossible to produce any materials that could produce gold coins.
Becoming a lord in such a place is just a test in itself, rather than really wanting him to make a career in this place.
However, Wang Wei found a way to make a fortune from here.
Only he can manufacture and use titanium alloys, but Wang Wei does not intend to promote this technology in the world. This is of course closely related to his awareness of small-scale farming and medicine, but the most important thing is that this kind of technology is important to him.
Cheap and widely used materials are not enough for himself, so how can he give them to others?
Wang Wei is not the kind of big guy with great wisdom. What he does have is a super memory. He knows the history of some famous places in the world by heart. Nowadays, there are less than a hundred people in Las Vegas who specifically go there to gamble.
Two-thirds of it was divided into two, and most of the rest were for tourism. After gambling boosted the local economy, other supporting industries also began to spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
However, in the beginning, it was still gambling that turned this city, which was initially thought to be a hopeless city, into the magical city it is today.
In Isaac, gambling is an illegal business. Most casinos in Isaac are small workshops and gambling shacks. Changing places is their only way to survive. Some large chambers of commerce or some large
The nobles control some large casinos, but they are only a place for wealthy people to relax, and they are also secretive. No one dares to blatantly show off to others that he went to such and such a place to gamble.
Maybe, that's an opportunity?
Wang Wei can always turn his mind to this little queen.
When Wang Wei told Luna this shocking plan, the soul walker, the little lioness at Fernando's house, was almost so frightened that she couldn't breathe.
"Do you know what you are planning? You are challenging the laws of the country."
Luna pinched Wang Wei's ears and said.
"No, I just want to build a real territory, not a lonely fortress. I don't want to marry a wife when the entire territory is just a castle."
What Wang Wei said was very sincere.
"Actually, I don't care about this at all."
Luna remembered that this seemed to be the second time he said this. The first time he said it, Wang Wei didn't have this castle yet.
"I know, but this is our men's business, you just have to wait and enjoy it."
Wang Wei kissed Luna gently on the face and said.
There is a very good saying, if you want to be rich, build roads first.
Although Wang Wei did not know which powerful person put forward this slogan, he knew very well that the profound philosophy contained in this slogan was applicable even to other worlds.
Road construction does not necessarily mean building a wide road, but also refers to various necessary supporting facilities.
However, it seems that what is needed here is a wide enough road.
In fact, there are only two conditions that hinder the economic development of the entire Gray Dragon Castle. One is that Gray Dragon Castle does not have any resources, and the other is the endless mountains of Gray Dragon Castle. The entire Gray Dragon Castle is surrounded by the Gray Dragon Mountains.
, the Gray Dragon Mountain Range disappears within the territory of the Isaac Kingdom, directly becoming a natural dividing line for Lingnan County. Various large and small mountains and hills enclose the Gray Dragon Castle Basin. If it rains all year round, it is estimated that there will be more rain here.
A Gray Dragon Lake appears, but even such an environment has its own unique advantages.
The temperature here is suitable all year round. Although there is a lack of surface vegetation, the unique mountainous direction does not make the entire Gray Dragon Castle as uninhabitable as a microwave oven. There is no rain all year round and there is no bad weather. This highlight is enough to become a basic geographical advantage.
As for opening a road, Wang Wei doesn't need to worry about that.
Wang Wei didn't have any special ideas about being a lord, but he was quite excited about being a mayor. After all, even that cold-blooded old guy was still very respectful to a certain mayor.
Regarding this idea, Wang Wei communicated with Luna overnight and the result was that it would be very difficult to get the support of the Queen and pass the parliament's decision. However, as the Grand Duke who guards one side, the Lion Grand Duke has transcendence in some matters within the territory.
The emperor's rights, that is to say, for some things, they can bypass the emperor and issue a separate law.
According to the provisions of the law, Wang Wei, as a viscount, can enact certain laws in the territory, but it cannot conflict with the laws of the country. However, the Grand Duke can promulgate some new laws in the territory under his jurisdiction according to the territory's own conditions.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the provisions are not extremely bad, they will not be criticized by the emperor and parliament.
And all this depends on whether the Lion is interested.
The result was beyond everyone's expectation. Not only was the Lion King interested, but he was also very interested.
Wang Wei never expected that the Grand Duke, who had a high reputation in the territory, would actually be an old gambler! When Wang Wei handed over the preliminary ten-page plan to the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke responded almost immediately.
"Do what you want, your dad will take care of anything."
Wang Wei immediately burst into tears. What a wonderful father-in-law. With such a daughter-in-law and such a father-in-law, what else can a man say?
Dry!
To build a road, the first thing to do is to open up the mountains that block Gray Dragon Castle from the outside world. This is impossible for ordinary people, but for Wang Wei who has countless mountain-opening equipment, it is simply a piece of cake. Countless metal fragments are majestic.
Heading to the mountains. Digging tunnels is extremely difficult for Wang Wei, who has no experience in tunneling, but for the gray elves, it is as easy as playing with water and mud!
Wang Wei designated a road, and the gray elves would make plans for the progress of the road according to Wang Wei's requirements. Which mountains to drive and which tunnels to dig were as easy as a piece of cake. The two-headed giant apes that had just given birth were extremely hungry.
It can't wait to follow the metal split body and swallow the excavated boulders. The titanium alloy produced is turned into a tunnel support, making the best use of it.
Regarding Wang Wei's intention to open a casino, a group of contracted creatures showed great enthusiasm. Although most of the enthusiasm was actually just a joke, it still made Wang Wei very happy.
If there are people to play, there must be a place to play. Those who are tired from playing, of course need a place to rest. All supporting facilities have been taken out from Wang Wei's large storage system in an orderly manner.
Rome was not built in a day. The person who said this must not know Wang Wei's situation. If he saw Wang Wei's plan to let a huge bird's nest structure grow on the ground, that person would definitely slap his mouth.
, because according to this growth rate, it will not take two months for the entire huge main body of the Bird's Nest to envelope the entire Gray Dragon Castle Basin!
This is Wang Wei's plan.
The fifth-level metal split body, with the cooperation of the World Tree Castle, has been able to extract titanium alloy from the ore. Although the efficiency of this metal is far less than that of the two-headed giant ape, most of the ore has been wasted, and
The strength is not as hard as the metals that the two-headed giant ape took out from the space pocket. But compared to ordinary metals, this lightweight, high-strength alloy is still far superior to blue steel, and even better than
It's no less impressive than black iron!
After all, no one knows how the two-headed giant ape digests those ores in its stomach, nor does it know what is added to these titanium alloys.
Wang Wei's plan is very simple. Turn the entire Gray Dragon area into an integrated metropolis. The Gray Dragon Basin is very small. Even if it is completely filled, it is not a dream. With the growing castle that automatically absorbs metal, everything will be easy.
It’s as simple as watering flowers and growing grass.
With two large casinos, a large hotel, and many vacancies reserved for various shops in the future, Wang Wei planned the entire city into four areas according to a symmetrical shape. The only thing that is missing is the civilian area, which does not accept civilians. Here
Don't give people homes or properties.
Wang Wei made a plan, but he himself had to leave the territory and go to the imperial city.
On the one hand, Luna wants to return to Tina and continue to assist the queen. On the other hand, Wang Wei still has many things to ask Master Freud at Isaac's Royal Academy for advice.
Before leaving, Wang Wei handed over the device capable of liquefying magic crystal to Lowell. The girl from the Shadow Clan assured Wang Wei with bright eyes that this thing would definitely become a shocking treasure in the future.
.As the most technologically advanced race in the multiverse, the Shadow Clan’s statement is impressive. With their guarantee, Wang Wei can rest assured.
What's more, this team is the elite among the Shadow Clan, so Wang Wei naturally feels confident.
