Blue Lake City.
As the capital of Qianhu Kingdom, it is the largest city in the kingdom.
In the past few hundred years, with the continuous gathering of population, blue lake city has been expanding. Now the total area of the city has exceeded 20 square kilometers, and the scale is extremely large. The population living here is more than 250000.
Even in the whole human world, the scale and population of blue lake city can rank in the top three.
In addition, it is the cultural, economic, political and military center of the kingdom.
Blue Lake City has a large number of famous nobles and billionaires, which naturally has a huge attraction for talents.
The most outstanding writers, dramatists, poets and performers in the kingdom all regard Blue Lake City as the biggest stage to show their talents. It is a matter of course that it has become a cultural center.
However, the status of "economic center" was worthy of its name before, but now it is in danger.
Because of the rise of the "Chaka port Copernicus" economic belt.
Countless goods from the sea tide collar, across the ocean, through the port of Copernicus on the east coast, continuously gathered in Chaka Town, then distributed to the major chambers of Commerce, and finally transported to all parts of the kingdom by them.
Among these high-quality products, there are large hot-air balloons with a diameter of tens of meters that can lift human beings up to the sky, well-made and durable armor, weapons, needles, scissors and other gadgets, all of which are popular and sell well all over the world.
On the other hand, the tide leader, like a greedy beast, devours all kinds of resources.
Almost every month, more than 20000 slaves were transported from Copernicus to the tide collar, sometimes as many as 30000 or 40000.
At the same time, thousands of tons of grain, livestock, cloth, medicinal materials, rare minerals and other materials continuously flow from all parts of the kingdom to port Copernicus, and then across the sea to the tide collar.
Not to mention the cement factory, furniture factory, black ice distillation factory and a series of newly established super factories, which have created countless wealth and made countless people flock to Chaka town.
The trade routes connecting Chaka town and all parts of the kingdom are like blood vessels in the human body. Wealth, resources and other "nutrients" seem to flow constantly in the "blood vessels".
Chaka Town, on the other hand, is the end point of all "blood vessels" and also the core heart.
Today, any businessman in Qianhu Kingdom has regarded Chaka town as a city of Commerce and wealth.
Blue Lake City?
Oh, its time has passed
A businessman who has never been to Chaka town is not a real businessman. Which businessman has never heard of this sentence?
……
It is questionable whether blue lake city is still the "political center" of the kingdom.
Although many nobles still like the royal family and think that his majesty Luther IX on the throne is more qualified to represent the kingdom of Qianhu, more people think that the most influential person in the kingdom is under the crown of God of war.
To put it bluntly, if mianxia says something against your Majesty in private, will your majesty have a good night''s sleep after it reaches Blue Lake City?
Let''s take another example. If Luther IX denounced a powerful nobleman, such as the Duke of sunflower in the south of the Kingdom, would that Duke care?
How can it be!
The Duke of Euclid would only treat it as a fart, and then he would surely invite two of his favorite lovers to celebrate the whole evening.
Who didn''t know that the Duke always hated the royal family?
The more upset Luther IX was, the happier the Duke was.
What can Luther IX do about the Duke''s disrespect?
He can''t do anything, he can only bear it.
But what if the Duke''s critics were replaced by the God of war?
Hehe, the Duke will immediately take his family and hide in the deep basement, shivering like a hamster, always worried about the silver angel flying over the sky, casting a terrible flame of extermination
Isn''t it funny to be such a poor "political center" as blue lake city?
……
Finally, is blue lake the military center of the kingdom?
Don''t be kidding.
What do you think of the rose army as?
Even the most shameless people can''t say such nonsense now, can they?
Can the "once" famous "Sapphire Knights'' order" controlled by the royal family, which once claimed to have the most extraordinary troops, withstand an assault of the armored corps?
Can the palace next to the "Sapphire Lake" last five minutes under the bombardment of the air Cavaliers?
From the above situation, we can see how embarrassing the current status of blue lake city is.
In just one year, it lost three of its four hats of "cultural, economic, political and military center" at an incredible speed, leaving only the pitiful "cultural center".But is there a bird in the cultural center?
Can it help your Majesty in the palace to stabilize the crumbling throne?
From this point of view, under the crown of Luther IX and the God of war, who is more like the master of the kingdom?
The answer is self-evident.
…………
"Hey, all hands and feet, be quick..."
"Clear up this area quickly. I don''t want to see any more pebbles..."
"It''s very important If you don''t clean up, in case of an accident when the "Silver Angel" lands, your majesty will punish you severely. No one can save you... "
Beside the sapphire Lake in front of the palace, a palace steward in a blue robe is shouting.
A group of servants stood in two long rows, walking slowly in the square by the lake, squatting down and picking up small pieces of gravel or leaves.
On the left side of the servants, the hexagonal "Sapphire Lake" is rippling with microwaves. Through the water less than 3 meters deep, you can clearly see the blue hexagonal slate at the bottom of the lake.
The slate is made of a kind of ore called lanqiyan, which is elaborately polished. The artificial lake has laid more than 200000 slabs.
This is really a huge project.
But for the face of the royal family, it''s still worth it.
Under the direct sunlight, I touch the stone slab at the bottom of the lake, and the blue light is reflected by the stone slab, which makes the water of the lake a little blue. Coupled with the clear water, the whole lake looks blue, like a transparent blue crystal, which looks very beautiful.
Looking down from high altitude, this sapphire lake is just like a giant sapphire embedded in the earth, which is extremely beautiful and bright.
It is the symbol of the royal family and the reason why the "oshenas" family got its name from the "Sapphire Lake" family.
Michelin admires this man-made lake, which is famous in the world of human beings. He can''t help but praise it.
He had just left his post as director of the Commerce Department of Chaka Town, and was immediately dispatched to blue lake city to serve as the highest head of the "consulate" of Haichao collar in Blue Lake City, and transferred to be responsible for the liaison between Haichao collar and the royal family.
"Mr. Michelin, when will the" Silver Angel "of the air cavalry transport fireworks arrive at Blue Lake City? The fireworks show is going to be held this evening. There is not much time left for us to prepare... " The steward went to Michelin and asked eagerly.
Michelin took out a delicate pocket watch, opened the cover and began to check the time.
The steward looked at the pocket watch in the other side''s hand greedily.
The exquisite seagull pattern carved on the back of the dial let him know that it was a "Seagull" pocket watch.
It''s also one of several high-end pocket watches sold by Haichao chamber of Commerce. It''s much more expensive than other brands with fancy names such as Patek Philippe and Constantine, which are actually low-end.
The price of the former is often more than 20 jinnals, some styles up to 50 jinnals or more, while the latter is generally no more than 5 jinnals.
With the income of manager, we can''t afford the luxury of seagull, which is specially for nobles and big businessmen.
In addition, he also realized that Mr. Michelin''s pocket watch seems to be the legendary "internal limited edition", that is, a special style that is only sold inside Haichao chamber of Commerce and not sold outside at all.
It is said that this kind of internal limited edition has more advanced technology and more functions. Even the magic stone in it has been used for a longer time.
The steward estimated that even if Mr. Michelin asked for 100 or even 150 guineas, there would be a large number of people willing to take over.
