As soon as Tangning finished speaking, the Dungeon Lord Main Hall fell silent. Everyone (except Tangning) only had two conditions in their minds: 400,000 gold coins and equipment for 5,000 soldiers.
No wonder!
Savin closed his eyes. No wonder the young master was not worried about not having enough money to pay for the recruitment of mages and warriors from the Guild of Magic and the Warrior Guild. It turned out that he had this plan in mind.
Sai Wen touched the magic crystal card hidden in his pocket. There were nearly 200,000 gold coins in the card, which he had personally collected from the nobles. Apart from the 10,000 gold coins he was going to give to Bishop Bryce and the 3,000 gold coins he was going to give to Hamid's family, the rest would be used to build the Shadow intelligence network.
"Actually, 400,000 gold coins isn't much!”A moment later, Tangning's calm voice rang out in the hall.
"With the strength of the bandit gang, they were able to kill a grand mage, a grand warrior, and four intermediate mages. With such terrifying power, it is reasonable to charge 400,000 gold coins. With the financial resources of this city, 400,000 gold coins is not a lot.
I heard that there were 40 to 50 people in the hall just now. Each of them shared 10,000 gold coins, so they had 400,000 gold coins.”
" 10,000 gold coins?" Eriniga felt his heart ache." My lord, I'm willing to donate 10,000 gold coins. However, before I donate, I would like to borrow the magic sensor array in the liege's residence to meet Lord Orlando."”
"Sure, no problem!"
Tangning agreed to his request without hesitation," Also, I would like to take this opportunity to make an announcement. Due to financial constraints, from today onwards, anyone who uses the magic sensor array in my residence will have to pay a fee of 2,000 gold coins.”
"Didn't Hamid only charge 200 gold coins in the past?" How did it increase so much all of a sudden?"
"City Lord Hamid is a good person!”
Tangning sighed," Maintaining a magic sensor array costs 30,000 gold coins a month. City Lord Hamid only charges 200 gold coins for a magic transmission fee. I don't know how he did it."
In any case, I can't agree with this. Therefore, in my hands, the cost of this magic sensor array has increased a little. If you think it's expensive, you can think of another way.”
" It's a little expensive," Eriniga said in a fit of pique." Two hundred to two thousand. That's ten times more. How can it not be expensive?" My lord, I don't need the sensor array, right?”
It would be best if he didn't use it! Tangning had a good tolerance, so she pretended she didn't hear what he said.
"Delanoa, you don't have to pay the 10,000 gold coins. When you go back, you have to organize all the weapon shops in the city and try to produce equipment for 5,000 soldiers in the shortest time possible.”
Eriniga was about to leave, but Tangning reached out and stopped him," 10,000 gold coins for my treasurer, Siddiado. Do you want to hand it over now or later?"”
"I'll pay it now!"
Eleniga slapped his forehead in frustration and said fiercely," My lord, I'll hand it over now. When the bandits retreat, I'll definitely report what my lord has done to my lord, Orendo. Just you wait."”
Sigh, he had offended another member of the York family.
Tangning sighed in her heart, but she did not show any signs of backing down." I will wait for you, Elenia. You can leave after you hand over the gold coins. Delanoa, how long will it take to produce the equipment for 5,000 soldiers?"”
" Six days." Delanoa lowered his head and thought for a moment." Even if we gather all the blacksmiths in the city, it will take at least six days.”
Tangning originally wanted to tell him about the principles behind the assembly line on Earth, but after thinking about it, she realized that she wasn't fully in control of the situation yet. If she were to reveal the principles behind the assembly line, it might cause the principles to spread out uncontrollably. So, she dismissed the idea and waved her hand, telling Delanoa to go make the arrangements.
"Litriata, Imibero, and Harpdermeyer.”Tangning turned to the other three and said in a friendly tone.
"Hand over the gold coins and you can leave. Hmm, Litriata, are you willing to help me collect the 400,000 gold coins?”
"I'm happy to serve my lord." Litriata bowed.”
" Oh, very good," Tangning looked at Imibelo and Hapdemeyer," How about you guys?" Are you willing to help me?”
"Of course I'm willing."”
" That's right," Tangning clapped her hands and said," I have another thought that is related to you guys."”
The three of them suddenly felt their hearts jump to their throats. They thought to themselves that this Feudal Lord's idea was a little too expensive. 10,000 gold coins for one. It was better not to listen to such an idea.
Seeing the trio's faces turn pale, Tangning laughed," Don't be nervous. It's just a thought. I won't force you."
I want to establish a Chamber of Commerce in this city. You can discuss with all the merchants in the city about how to establish it and form a specific regulation that is acceptable to all merchants. The goal is to gather all the merchants into one. This way, we can avoid unnecessary competition and enjoy the information resources of the entire Chamber of Commerce. We can even make unified adjustments in terms of funds, manpower, and other resources."
Everyone in the hall, including Savon and Sydiado, listened attentively. They didn't expect the Chamber of Commerce to be able to do this.
Actually, in Tangning's mind, the so-called Chamber of Commerce was based on the corporations on Earth. In other words, it was a large company formed by a few or more companies. There were plenty of such companies on Earth. In a world that still relied on shops, the concept of a corporation was very advanced.
"Sydiado, are you interested in setting up this Chamber of Commerce?”
Tangning looked at the beautiful Sydiado and thought to herself, As the leader of the entire Orc Empire's business, how could she be interested in such an advanced merchant association?
"The members who join the Chamber of Commerce are all voluntary and cannot be forced. As the saying goes, it is better to be lacking than to be excessive. Firstly, the regulations must be detailed, fair, and reasonable. The rights and obligations of each member must be regulated. Thirdly, the division of labor in the Chamber of Commerce must be clear.”
"Basically, that's all. Sydiado, if you're interested, you can participate in the establishment of this Chamber of Commerce. After the regulations are finalized, you can show them to me.
Alright, that's all for now. Next, I want to go to the military camp to take a look. Sai Wen, come with me.”
