Chapter 710 The Strength of the Campbell Family
Chapter 710 The Strength of the Campbell Family
There have been so many outsiders coming to the Suville Royal City in recent times that the suburbs in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest are extremely bustling. A large number of commercial streets have begun to appear, starting from post stations and city gates.
And because the taxes in the suburbs were lower, a large number of traveling merchants were directly attracted here, so much so that the Kingdom of Suville temporarily promulgated dozens of laws against street vendors in the suburbs, and the number of patrol knights to maintain law and order also increased significantly.
It seemed as if this was done on purpose. Taxes in the outer suburbs did not increase at all, and even shops forty miles away were exempt from tax.
As a result, this area quickly became a paradise for merchants and tourists, and suddenly all the villages around the royal city of Suvir became popular.
Profit-seeking merchants were the most efficient, and those simple villages that originally consisted of only wooden and stone huts were transformed into advanced towns with modern streets.
Brick and tile buildings are springing up one after another, hotels, shops and various entertainment outlets are opening one after another, and the flow of people is dozens of times more than before.
All of this was planned by Bai Hao. He had long wanted to expand the city of Suville. He took advantage of this grand party of one million people and those profit-seeking businessmen to "expand his territory", thus saving a lot of infrastructure costs.
When the party of a million people is over, most of the outsiders will leave, and only a small number will settle down.
But what remained were a large number of buildings and commercial circles in the suburbs of the Suville Kingdom. At this time, the Suville Kingdom only needed to pave the roads, build a large number of municipal facilities, and then promulgate some relevant subsidy policies, and people would take the initiative to move in.
The originally undeveloped suburbs and villages will directly complete the urbanization process and be smoothly incorporated into the scope of the Royal City of Suville, achieving extremely low-cost expansion, and unknowingly expanding the area of the Royal City of Suville!
The carriage soon arrived at the south gate of the Suville Royal City. Now it was no longer a simple arched three-gate, but had been expanded into a square with ten gates, and there was even a Suville magic army responsible for maintaining order.
Rea glanced casually on the carriage and found that the soldiers were all wearing Campbell standard equipment, armor, weapons, shoes... everything was full of Campbell style, and even the Campbell family flag and the Suville military flag could be seen flying at the same time.
There is no doubt that the Kingdom of Suville has become the home base of half of the Campbell family.
It is said that a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but the current Campbell family has far more than three burrows. There are branches of the Campbell family in many places in the Beast Forest and the Central Plains. Some small kingdoms are directly under the jurisdiction of the Campbell family, and their national flags have been changed to the Campbell family flag.
There is no other way. It is too good to be associated with the Campbell family. The Campbell family is strong in these four major fields: military, economy, politics, and culture. No matter how weak a kingdom is, as long as it can establish a relationship with the Campbell family, it is only a matter of time before it takes off.
"I'll just get off here," Old Wang chuckled, signaling the driver to stop, then turned to look at Reya and Suna, "Are you going directly to the Royal City? Don't you want to take a walk around the outer city first? This is the real food paradise."
Along the way, Lao Wang learned how greedy the couple were and how their appetites were astonishingly large. The delicate Suna could eat the rations of five adults in a day, and Reya was even more exaggerated. He could even accompany Suna for several meals.
After hearing this, Leia thought for a moment, and soon nodded and said, "It just so happens that I haven't had lunch yet, so let's go for a walk in the outer city first. Anyway, our business is not urgent."
Kuronan did not specify a specific time, but only required that Bai Hao report to him before the million-person party began. Therefore, Rea could just play in the Suville Royal City for a day or two, spend as much as she wanted, and use Kuronan's supplementary gold card.
"Okay, then I'll recommend a few food stalls with great value for money..."
"What food stall? We're going to eat at the most expensive restaurant. Don't humiliate us, Lao Wang," Rea shook the golden card in his hand and said casually, "You can't pay by credit card at a food stall. We have to go to a place where you can pay by credit card!"
At this moment, Rea looked like a nouveau riche. It was not his own money that he was spending, so he did not feel bad at all.
The old king is a native of the Kingdom of Suville. Before the birth of the Jieming magic technology, he had been a slave of a fire eagle trainer. It was not until the slavery reform five years ago that he obtained citizenship.
Soon, Lao Wang brought the two of them to the most luxurious restaurant in the outer city of Suville. Both the decoration and the atmosphere were full of the atmosphere of the upper class. Lao Wang, wearing a shabby leather jacket, was out of place here.
"Hey, you guys, do you know where this is? Go, the food stall is at the end of the street..."
As soon as they approached, a receptionist in gorgeous clothes stopped the three people. Her face was unhappy and her tone was full of disgust. If she let these low-class people enter the restaurant, she would be scolded by the foreman manager, and in serious cases, her salary would even be deducted.
Not only was Lao Wang wearing a tattered leather jacket, but Reya and Suna were also wearing plain robes. Since the giant lion orcs were naturally afraid of heat, they had thrown all those expensive dresses in the carriage.
Rhea curled her lips, threw the gold card directly at the receptionist's face, and said indifferently: "Send your store manager over."
"You rough guy, you dare to throw things at me, but I am..." The receptionist was furious and was about to call the patrol knights immediately, but when she saw the gold card clearly, she was stunned.
The receptionist was considered to be an upper-class person, so she naturally knew about the existence of the gold card. This was a special certificate issued by the Elf Gold Bank, with golden anti-counterfeiting stripes on it. The more stripes there were, the higher the level of the gold card.
One stripe allows one to walk around the outer city of Suville with ease, two stripes make one a wealthy person in the inner city of Suville, three stripes make one a powerful noble... and the supplementary gold card that Rhea threw over had six stripes printed on it.
"This, this is fake?"
The receptionist immediately doubted its authenticity, but before she could say anything more, a fat middle-aged man rushed out of the restaurant, snatched the gold card from the etiquette lady, and then respectfully handed it back to Rea with both hands.
"Mr. Campbell, I am the manager of the Jinquan Restaurant. I sincerely welcome you..."
Hearing the extremely awed tone of the store manager, Rhea nodded indifferently, then swaggered into the restaurant, thinking that being a Campbell was convenient, and that he would be respected wherever he went.
This was not the first time that Rea had used this supplementary gold card. The Fire Eagle had previously descended on several kingdoms for supplies, and Rea had used this gold card for purchases many times. When those merchants saw the gold card, they all looked extremely respectful.
But Rhea knew clearly that they were not in awe of the six stripes on the gold card, but of the Campbell family emblem printed on it!
