Chapter 2034 The Development of the Fiefdom
In this way, in terms of security, this fiefdom will be guaranteed.
And this kind of fiefdom that can guarantee the life safety of the residents in the fiefdom is very attractive to ordinary people.
After all, life safety is the basis of all subsequent activities.
If you can't even survive, then there's no point in talking about production, opening up, construction, and enjoyment...
"Let's go in and have a look."
This time when they returned to their own fiefdom, Angel and Qi Le were finally not blocked out.
Because since summoning scrolls became popular, people from various noble families in Viscount Bellot's fiefdom came to buy summoning scrolls every day.
Then under this huge crowd, other products or specialties were also sold.
Later, the nobles who came to buy the summoning scroll discovered that other nobles who did not usually meet often could often meet in Viscount Bellot's fief.
So after thinking for a long time, they decided to use this fiefdom as a transit point for transactions.
If there are any items you want to trade, don't go anywhere else, just come here.
Killing two birds with one stone is convenient.
As a result, Viscount Bellot's fiefdom developed better and better. It was originally just a transfer station for transactions, but later on, it became more and more like a large trading city-state.
It's just that in terms of the scale of the fiefdom, it is far from reaching the level of a large trading city-state.
Therefore, Belot, who saw the opportunity for development, also made up his mind to build his fiefdom into a large city-state famous throughout the Yanlong Kingdom.
Trading city-state is a good development direction.
At least economically, it is definitely among the best among all types of city-states.
With sufficient economic capacity, the city-state's attractiveness will gradually increase, attracting more people to live there.
This is a virtuous cycle.
After all, in a large city-state, the permanent population is a rigid indicator.
If there is not enough population, then no matter how majestic and gorgeous the city-state is built, it will be of no use.
So now is a good place to start.
The towering city wall under construction is a signal of development and growth.
After entering the tall city gate that had been built, Angel and Qi Le also looked at the surrounding buildings along the way.
Those small houses that were there are now gone.
Instead, there are a large number of beautifully constructed multi-story buildings and a variety of shops.
Such a huge change is a complete transformation from a small village to a large town.
And not only that, judging from the flow of people coming and going, the various shops and the people poking their heads out of the windows of the small buildings, it seems that the number of residents in Viscount Bellot's fiefdom has also increased a lot.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it has doubled several times.
You know, these days, there are quite a lot of refugees escaping from the fiefdoms of various nobles.
And the refugees mentioned here refer to ordinary residents who are squeezed to the point where they can hardly survive.
Or ordinary residents who had to flee to save their lives because their fiefdom was attacked by hyenas, resulting in their fiefdom being breached.
They are just ordinary people who just want to live.
Therefore, when I learned that Viscount Bellot's fiefdom was recruiting refugees who had escaped for various reasons to replenish the population of the fiefdom.
These people came over without hesitation.
And after comparing their past lives, these refugees were even more grateful to Viscount Bellot.
In fact, what ordinary people want is very simple. If they can survive and have enough food and clothing, that is already good.
But in many noble fiefdoms, even these simple problems cannot be solved.
Life is really hard.
However, in Qi Le's view, these problems are actually problems of insufficient productivity.
However, just because Qi Le can see the essence of these problems does not mean that Qi Le can solve them.
In fact, if productivity wants to make a qualitative leap, the key issue lies in the way of production, which needs to be changed.
Qi Le has no way to solve this problem.
After all, in a world where believers summon gods, there is a risk of being beaten if one goes to promote science.
Moreover, the most critical problem is that Qile has no idea about the manufacturing principles of those production machines.
It is really difficult for students who are not science majors or engineering majors to follow the path of scientific development.
"This fiefdom has developed very well during this period. It seems that it will be officially named Silver Moon City in a year or two at most."
Qi Le watched all the way and couldn't help but sigh.
If you want to bear the name of a city-state, you don't just have to say it yourself.
Instead, you need to submit the application documents to Yanlong Kingdom for reporting, and then a specialist will come to review the qualifications.
This includes the review of various aspects such as population situation, development status, development direction, popularity, influence, etc.
Then after passing these reviews, Yanlong Kingdom will announce the news to the world.
At least within the entire Yanlong Kingdom, every city-state will be notified.
As for the surrounding forces... they are not within the jurisdiction.
However, it is difficult for the surrounding forces to pretend not to know about such a big announcement to the world.
"It's still early. It's not that easy to give a fiefdom the name of a city-state."
Angel is very self-aware.
Even if the development momentum of one's own fiefdom is very good now, it is not that simple to pass the qualification review to become a city-state.
Because in addition to the situation in the fief, there are also requirements for the applicant's strength and title.
The fiefdom became a city-state, so the person in charge of this city-state must be at least a marquis.
After all, there are city guards in the city-state, and the qualifications to recruit private troops must be at least a marquis.
So before there was a marquis in the family, this kind of thing was just a thought.
"It's better to have some dreams, Angel. This fiefdom definitely has the potential to become a large city-state. Don't waste it."
Qi Le encouraged him with a gentle tone.
If the fiefdom of Viscount Bellot can really be built into Silver Moon City.
The market for summoning scrolls has truly opened up.
A huge trading city-state can definitely sell summoning scrolls to any corner of the world. Its power is definitely not comparable to that of a small fiefdom.
"Of course, building the fiefdom into a city-state is a dream I have had since I was a child."
After hearing Qi Le's encouragement, Angel immediately raised his head and spoke seriously.
