Chapter 19 The Golden Trade Route
"Not on land?" Chu Tian also smiled, thought for a moment, and said, "The golden trade route in Dust and Sludge Swamp should be transported by Qiblin airships, right?"
The Chiblin airship is a product of goblins, which uses the magician's magic power as energy. Due to its huge size and strong transportation capabilities, all the powerful countries now reserve several Chiblin airships, mainly to transport logistics supplies to flying monsters. However, although Chiblin airships are convenient and fast, they have a fatal weakness - they consume too much energy. A Chiblin airship will consume all the magic power of a level seven magician if it takes a hundred kilometers! This seriously limits the popularity of Chiblin airships. Countries without professionals above the magician cannot afford this luxury. After all, there is no country on the mainland that is powerful enough to use a magician as a battery!
"Ah? How do you know, boss?" Reggie looked at Chu Tian in disbelief.
"Hehe, you boss, I'm so smart, what can you guess?" Chu Tianzhi said angrily.
If Chu Tian had doubts about Ludi III's participation in smuggling just now, then he now completely believed it. Although the Chiberlin airship is huge, it carries up to fifty war horses. It takes at least three airships to smuggle a large number of monsters. Without a certain number of magicians, it is impossible to pass through the dust and mud swamp of thousands of kilometers. If the Pampas family bribed a large number of magicians, they could not believe it even if they killed Chu Tian, you should know that there were only more than twenty magicians in the entire Caesar Empire!
So there must be Ludi III involved in it! Ludi III provides the magician and Chiblin airship, while the Pampas family is responsible for smuggling and money laundering, which is indeed a perfect combination!
It seems that Ludi III and the Pampas family are still in a business partnership! Chu Tian thought secretly, and the status of the Pampas family has also been greatly improved.
"Haha, I don't know how to walk on the Mist Lake. After all, there is smoke everywhere, and even the Qiblin airship cannot pass!" Chu Tian said modestly. No wonder Chu Tian was humble. After all, Reggie in front of him has another identity - the future arms and drug king and the godfather of the Caesar gang!
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the boss to be humble," Reggie sighed, "Okay, I'll tell you that we smuggled through the low tunnel!"
"Underground tunnel? Impossible," Chu Tian said firmly: "Misty Lake is 800 kilometers in a radius, how can it be built under it?!"
"There is nothing that the Pampas family can't buy!" Reggie stood up, looked at Chu Tian contemptuously, and said proudly: "Of course it also includes an underground tunnel of hundreds of kilometers!"
"It turned out to be true..." Chu Tian said to himself. It was not until this moment that Chu Tian had an intuitive understanding of the financial resources of the richest man in Caesar! The cost of building a tunnel under the lake hundreds of kilometers was an astronomical figure that Chu Tian could not imagine!
Reggie seemed to be immersed in the glory of his family, and kept saying words that shocked Chu Tian: "Since Marilyn's appearance, my ancestors discovered the huge business opportunity here, so they hired 200,000 goblin craftsmen at a huge cost, and spent 17 years to build this golden passage! This way, connecting Marilyn's origin - the Kingdom of Scott and our family's base Pompeii!"
I'm afraid the 200,000 craftsmen have disappeared! Chu Tian sneered in his heart, but said, "I am worthy of being the richest man in Caesar! Only the Pampas family can do such a big project!"
"Of course!" Reggie said proudly.
Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, "Then what are you telling me to do? You can't just ask me to smuggle together, right?" He showed his kindness, either a traitor or a thief! Reggie must have had some intentions if he could tell his family's secrets!
"Haha, I'm really convinced. The boss is so smart." Reggie returned to her cynical expression and said with a smile: "I just want you to smuggle with me! How about it? This gift is 'thick' enough, right?"
"Do your father agree?" Chu Tian couldn't believe it.
"This is what my father meant!" Reggie obviously became much more serious when talking about his father.
"I wonder what kind of cooperation method is it?" Chu Tian also put away his joking attitude and talked about the business seriously.
"Brothers settle the score clearly! How many gold coins can the boss invest?" When talking about business, Reggie immediately became a shrewd businessman, and he could never see the shadow of a wandering young man again.
After calculating the gifts I received recently and the rewards from Ludi III, Chu Tian said: "It should be about 100,000 gold coins!"
"Okay! Give me 100,000 gold coins, I will share 30% of the profits of the gold trade route in Misty Lake!" Reggie said firmly.
"I'm afraid you have any other requirements?" Chu Tian narrowed his eyes even more. Although he didn't know how much the income was, it was definitely much greater than 100,000 gold coins! 100,000 gold coins were exchanged for 30% of the income from a drug smuggling line. This kind of good thing had to make Chu Tian alert.
"Haha, of course there is something else!" Reggie showed the standard smile of a profiteer. "Now, the two professions of alchemist and dark alchemist no longer exist. Then the person responsible for drug inspection has become the priests that are closest to these two professions!" Reggie smiled again, "And it seems that all the priests in the whole country are under the control of the boss..."
Chu Tian thought about it carefully and indeed, while the priests were responsible for medical work, they also had another task - to prevent all items and disasters that might cause harm to citizens!
There is no occupation similar to the Earth police on the Phantom Beast Continent. All public security work is the responsibility of the army. Things other than public security are the responsibility of relevant professions. For example, fire fighting and fire prevention are the responsibility of the water magician under the magic minister Damal. Similarly, drug inspection work that endangers the health of the people naturally fell on Chu Tian, the chief palace priest...
"Hehe, I understand, how could such a noble family as Pampas smuggle Marilyn?" After saying that, Chu Tian stood up and added with a righteous sentence, "In Caesar, any drug smuggling force will be severely hit!"
Chu Tian and Reggie put their heads together, smiled and looked at each other, lowered their voices, and said in unison: "Except Pampas..."
Although the voice was small, Xiaobai still heard it. "Woooo!" Xiaobai stared at the two of them angrily, and his quick and powerful screams seemed to be scolding these two profiteers who were careless!
Seeing that Xiaobai was angry, Chu Tian quickly comforted Xiaobai: "Don't be angry! Boss, I'm just spending money for you!" After saying that, he complained with a frown: "You boss, I'm poor! Voster wine is so expensive! If I don't have money, why should I buy you wine?"
Hearing the three words Voster, Xiaobai immediately calmed down, but he still looked reluctant.
Chu Tian continued to induce: "When we have money, I will buy you two Voster wineries! One is for drinking, the other is for fun!"
"Woo~Woo~~~" Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and a trace of crystal saliva flowed down from the corner of his mouth.
After screaming happily, Xiaobai suddenly bit Chu Tian's wrist, stretched out his front paws with fierce eyes, and gestured twice - meaning: Two wineries! One less one and you are not finished!
After tackling Xiaobai in his arms, Chu Tian regained the smile of the profiteer, raised his head and asked Reggie: "By the way, how much is the 30% income?"
"Well, not too much," Reggie smiled embarrassedly: "It's only eight or nine million gold coins a year..."
Praise the goddess of life! Eight or nine million? I'm afraid only people like Reggie can use the word "just" to describe it?
After seeing off Reggie, Chu Tian and Xiaobai looked at each other and smiled thornyly.
