Chapter 103 Suggestions
No one said to Abigail that the black elves were troubled by the limitations of their knowledge and could not see through Songjiang's troubles. Even if they could see them, they did not dare to say that decentralization or acceptance of opponents in this city was unacceptable to the mistress.
No one else would say this to Abigail, it was a thankless thing.
Even if Daliang said, some of the things inside made Abigail very unhappy. However, Daliang's identity prevented her from having an attack, so she could only try her best to defend herself.
"Earl Daliang, if the faceless black elves come to Songjiang according to your wishes, their mistress will never enter the city and be under my jurisdiction. I will provide them with land in vain. If they own their own army, wouldn't they threaten my city at any time?"
Daliang said to Abigail: "How can we provide them with land in vain? They can use the land, but what do they eat and what do they use? They must be purchased from Songjiang City. And under the gold coin system you have established, they need to pay money instead of bartering.
They have no money, so they have to make money.
You can rent your mines and farms to them, tax their transactions, and then use this to hire their tribe members to join your army. Miss Mother, you have the big stick of gold coin system in your hand, and you will only become stronger and stronger, while those black elves tribes will only stop expanding.
At that time, those mistresses could only say that they did not obey you in name, but if you hold their lives, how could they go against you?"
Abigail fell into thought, and it took a long time before she asked: "How to deal with the snake-faced black elves? Betrayal is the same as instinct for them."
"The act of betrayal will only occur when the interests of betrayal are higher than the interests of loyalty. Joshua rebelled because he saw the hope of becoming king, and after this hope was shattered, he was still a capable minister. King Howard did not punish Joshua because of betrayal, but instead appointed him as the Grand Duke.
There is also the Marquis of Wilson, who once wanted to kill King Howard and nearly succeeded, and now he is still the Chancellor of the Exchequer and does his best to maintain the rule of the royal family.
As I said, if the mistress wants to rule a city, she must break the idea of governing a tribe.
Allow all kinds of people in your ruling area to let most people support you with money and titles, and those who oppose you can only work for you in your rules.”
Today's conversation was definitely an ideological impact for Abigail. As Daliang said, she was managing Songjiang City with a set of measures to manage the tribe, which made the city worse and worse. But it completely broke the tradition of the black elves...
This is definitely an extremely risky decision.
Abigail asked: "Is the Earl's suggestion really feasible in Songjiang City?"
Daliang spread his hands: "I don't know whether the human race's way of managing cities is practical and the dark elves managed dungeons, but the original Songjiang City was indeed a very powerful city in the Shangjiang area. I suggest that the mistress abolish the current hierarchy, restore the title, and improve the status of the indigenous people.
Those indigenous people, especially the nobles, could have managed Songjiang very well before, so they could have managed the city again for their mistress.”
Abigail shook his head and said, "Let the indigenous people participate in managing the city? No, absolutely not, they will definitely betray me."
The black elves have a strong sense of rejection from foreign races. It is a great success to be able to accept the black elves of other tribes. As for accepting the management of other races, they can only slowly change Abigail's ideas.
Daliang said: "The affairs of the indigenous people can be handled later, but I think at least the status of the Taurus race is improved. The Taurus is rich in powerful warriors and mages. Their army is very suitable for frontal combat and has very good complementarity to the black elves army that is good at rapid raiding.
Improving the status of the Tauren can not only increase Songjiang's military strength, but also have a deterrent effect on the migrated black elf tribes. It can also differentiate the indigenous people of Songjiang. Without the Tauren as their backbone, it will be difficult for other tribes to cause big storms."
For Abigail, it is acceptable to just improve the status of the Taurus clan. Moreover, the Taurus' combat capabilities are indeed very comprehensive. The black elf warrior is afraid of head-on battles with the Taurus warriors. The Taurus joins Songjiang's army to greatly improve his ability to attack.
Abigail was really happy: "I finally know why Howard, Joshua and Joyce value you so much, Earl Daliang, you are indeed a very capable person. I decided to re-govern my city according to the advice you gave me. Although we don't know what the outcome will be, it will definitely not be worse than the current situation."
Daliang smiled and said, "It is absolutely impossible to be worse. I suggest that the mistress cooperate with Shuntong Chamber of Commerce in an all-round way. With the continuous expansion of Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, our products will be more comprehensive and cheap. There are countless races and tribes underground, which is a very large market.
Our goods will become your bond to contact them, and the mistress can exchange our goods for supplies from the underground tribes, and then exchange them for money through our caravans.
Money can develop your city and can consolidate your rule.
Moreover, the caravans of Shuntong Chamber of Commerce can also help you eliminate rebellions in your territory."
When Daliang proposed to let Shuntong Chamber of Commerce enter Songjiang, Abigail's eyes lit up. Shuntong Chamber of Commerce is now a mountain of gold, and it is an unimaginable wealth to shake off any gold coins anywhere. Those rich materials are enough to attract the black elves who have never seen the world underground to Songjiang to settle down.
It is just that the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce is fully checked in, and the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce's guardian team will follow in.
The Shuntong Chamber of Commerce’s caravans are not the kind of thugs who deal with thieves. They are the army of death that can be easily defeated in a level 13 city.
If this undead army enters the dungeon, it can certainly quickly eliminate the rebellion and consolidate the black elves' rule over Songjiang, but will they put themselves into a puppet?
Abigail fell into deep thought again...
Daliang also has his own considerations for Shuntong Chamber of Commerce to enter the dungeon.
I don’t know how big the Songjiang extends to the underground. The passage and the cave constitute a huge underground world. I don’t know how many underground creatures live in it. This is a market with great potential. The precious alchemy materials outside are likely to be randomly discarded stones underground.
The problem with the development of the underground world now is the complex underground environment. No matter how powerful the undead army is, it cannot be used underground.
