Neosfia, the seven sea capital, not only has the economy of the world, but also sounds very noble and avant-garde title, but also has a demon city with ghosts and ghosts walking in the dark city at night, etc., which sounds not serious. There is a saying that I don’t know which brainless literary youth said when he was sick, "If you love him, send him to Neosfia, because it is heaven; if you hate him, send him to Neosfia, because it is hell." This makes Lu Xi particularly feel instant.

Penniless adventurers and gold diggers often get rich overnight here, from the bottom-level gangster who is not fed, and instantly becomes a big man who calls the wind and rain; or generations of wealthy chaebols and tycoons, whose family is destroyed in just a few days; legendary stories like drama and topic have been staged countless times in this small small land in the middle of the Chen Sea.

Judging from these legends, Neosfia seems to be a civilizational ancient capital with a long and glorious history, but in fact, it has been less than three hundred years since its establishment so far. In fact, the so-called carnival celebration of the three hundred years of construction is planned to be held this summer

Originally, this place was just an archipelago in the middle of the Chen Sea, with only a small number of natives living in it. They stayed quietly in the middle of the sea without any harassement from any civilization, until the Aucklanders discovered it a thousand years ago. The Royal Auckland, at its heyday, discovered that it was almost the geographical core of the entire Chen Sea. From the estuary of the Gloren River, if you go through these islands, you can establish a stable shipping channel directly to the coastal city-state of the Southnes continent in the south. There is no need to transit through the Storm Cape, the Charles Plain, the Black Soil Hills, the Dragon Claw Peninsula, and finally the High Elf Twilight Island. The shipping trade costs and time required on the entire Chen Sea will be greatly reduced.

More importantly, these methods are not the kind of islands that are not long enough, but are the kind of island chains with rich resources, picturesque scenery, and natural harbors. If they are effectively developed, they will definitely become a supply transfer station for tens of thousands of troops to maintain the cross-sea expedition. The seventeenth generation king of the Holy Spring Royal, "The Conqueror of the South China Sea" Commod relied on them to establish a complete cross-sea supply line, and finally successfully maintained an elite army of more than 50,000 people.

, conquered more than a dozen city-states along the coast of Sosness, and formed several imperial provinces on different continents seriously. After the Auckland Empire fell into civil strife of Yan Emperor Yezebeth, these cross-sea provinces collapsed one after another. The garrison generals and mercenary leaders there colluded with the old and young men of the previous dynasty and became a new king and city lord, and then subdued the Central Committee of Auckland to be called a minister. That is another story.

In short, the Aucklands named this archipelago Neosfia, which is said to be derived from the meaning of "Pearl of the Ocean" in the Heavenly Dome. In this regard, Lu Xi, who knew the Dome, disturbed his scalp and pondered for most of the day, felt that it was not in correspondence. Suddenly, he realized that many of the pronunciations of the Dome are not something that humans can make, and even elves and dwarves with purer bloodlines cannot do. The so-called "Neosfia" which is obviously very classical Auckland-like vocabulary should be a variation of a certain Dome word after it was spread.

In short, for hundreds of years since its earliest construction, Neosfia has always been firmly controlled by the Auckland Navy. This archipelago has the best natural deep water ports in the Chenhai Sea, the most abundant fishery resources, and the most picturesque sea scenery. If it is a maritime power country, this "Pearl" archipelago can be regarded as the overlord who controls the seven seas.

Of course, we all know that it is still the era of land power. Even in the heyday of the Auckland Empire, at most, they only wanted to operate this place as a shipping transit station and a naval port. However, with the development of shipping trade over the past few hundred years, a large number of maritime merchants' docks, warehouses and shopping malls, as well as various supporting facilities, gradually gaining the atmosphere of an urban area.

In the following days, the Holy Spring Royal fell into turmoil. The central authority plummeted. There was no ability or capital to maintain the standing navy in the Chenhai Sea, and even could not pay military salaries for ten years. In this case, the naval soldiers did not raise their flags to rebel. This was the reason why the Holy Spring Royal Dimashia family was too high and the popularity was too good. Therefore, the naval soldiers who were originally affiliated with the Auckland Empire could only eat their own food. They drove warships to serve as guards for the sea merchants, and then collected a little bit of worship.

Whoever controls Neosfia controls Chenhai. Since the Dimashia family doesn't want it, it's better to give it to us? Of course, the countries with this idea will not be one or two. So, the city-state of Sosnes, the kingdom on Cape of Storm, and even the high elves of Twilight Island all fought Neosfia while the Holy Spring Royal was weak.

However, they all returned one by one, rolled up their sleeves and formed a joint fleet to grab territory. The Cape Storm and the countries of Sosnes were beaten up by the "volunteer team" formed by the former imperial navy and maritime merchants.

We all know that in the classical era, both the maritime merchants and the navy could never be spotless. They transformed into such a kind of business that did not require capital but had a promising future. So, the combined fleet of the maritime merchants and the Auckland Navy later ruined the coastal areas of the Storm Cape and the Sosnes countries, and grabbed gold and silver that were about the sum of central fiscal and tax revenues of more than three years in the entire Auckland Empire. At that time, the maritime merchants of Neosfia finally realized that in this sea area in the center of the world, and no one could stop them from flying out to wave... Even the Twilight Island High Elves with the ancestor Shenzhou, and the sea tribe empire under the sea were no exception.

We all know that when merchants have a unified goal, their planning and action can be awesome. These maritime merchants, as well as former naval generals, established an organization that unified the management of Neosfia's public security and finance and taxation, and in order not to stimulate the Central Imperial Court of Auckland, they gave an ambiguous name like the "executive committee". In fact, this so-called executive committee is equivalent to Neosfia's autonomous government.

This time of incompetence lasted for a long time. The maritime merchants had completely controlled the maritime trade in Chenhai, and supported the accumulated wealth, they deepened the tentacles of business into the mainland countries. Overall, they had changed from simple maritime trade and freight merchants to real transnational chaebols, and they also gradually transformed commerce and wealth into political influence. After a hundred years of layout, they finally felt that the time was ripe. The Executive Committee, controlled by transnational wealth, immediately made a request for autonomy to the Central Imperial Court of Auckland. The capitalists were very pragmatic, knowing that the so-called "independence" had no practical meaning except to make themselves happy, and it also stimulated the G-point of the Central Imperial Court of Auckland.

Therefore, after ensuring that at least 10,000 gold gold was given to the Central Imperial Court of Auckland every year, Neosfia finally gained autonomy. The Executive Committee also formally established an autonomous government.

The day when the autonomous government was officially listed was designated as the city building day by the citizens of Neosfia. From that day to now, it has been almost three centuries.

Yes, in theory, Neosfia has always been the territory of Auckland. These wealthy merchants who are rich and wealthy are also ministers of the Holy Spring Royal Family. These smart wealthy merchants do not think that there is anything wrong with offering a supreme on their heads. But in fact, except for the contributions that are just a drop in the bucket for them every year, they have independent political systems, independent laws, independent diplomacy, independent fiscal settlement, and independent army, and there is no difference between them. Three hundred years later, this group of "countries" spontaneously formed by merchants has grown into monsters that the Auckland Empire was difficult to deal with in the heyday. Although in a strict sense, the ground territory they controlled at the timing was very small.

So far, the main territory controlled by Neosfia is composed of five relatively large islands, plus countless small islands, and the geographical name is "Neosfia Islands". The political name is "Neosfia Ocean Dominion". The largest island is also called Neosfia. It has the best natural deep-sea harbor in the entire Chenhai Sea and is the largest trade transit port in the world. Similarly, what we usually call the seven-sea capital Neosfia. It refers to the largest city in the world on this island, and it is also the most modern super city in Lu Xi's view.

The permanent population of the entire autonomous territory is more than 5 million, and the migrant population is more than three times that of this value. The residents concentrated in this port capital have reached more than 90% of the total population.

The headquarters of the transnational chaebols and giant chambers of commerce formed the most magnificent building complex in Neosfia. Their possession was also the earliest founder of this de facto maritime business empire and the real ruler. The realist business class gave up aristocratic red tape and established new colleges and universities according to their own wishes to cultivate the talents needed for the business world. This also led to the emergence of modern universities in disguise. With modern business, there were subjects such as liberal arts, arts, philosophy, etc., and these modern cultural scholars and artists

, and when he was full and had nothing to do, Neosfia's unique and avant-garde social and cultural atmosphere was brewing. As a result, the people of the old mainland, who were gradually entering the historical stage of human emancipating the mind and changing, cursing the "Neosfia's nouveau riche" on the one hand, but honestly accepting the setting of it as the "fashion capital" and the "commercial capital". As these emerging universities that have only been established for a hundred years have become more and more famous, the nouveau riche-like cities in the sea have even gradually gained a sense of humanistic nuance of the "cultural capital".

In short, when time entered the twelfth century of the Taoist Era, the entire territory might not be as large as the "dominated lord" of a county in Auckland, but it controlled a larger fiscal and tax revenue than the entire Holy Auckland Empire. This dominant with a population of only 50,000 maintained a huge naval fleet of more than 10,000 people (including the Marine Corps). In terms of the total tonnage and number of warships, the cape of Storm was completely over the top of the Cape of Storm and Neyor.

The sum of the Sifia Chenhai Fleet is only under the high elves of Twilight Island. However, we must remember that this is just the number of warships. Under the command of this group of lawless and wealthy merchants, the number of ships that can instantly change from merchant ships to warships is really a huge number that cannot be counted. The large mercenary group they controlled behind the scenes through investment support, suppression and other means, naturally, let alone.

In short, if wealth can be completely equal to national strength, Neosfia, composed of a few small islands, can definitely be compared with Auckland, Wikiah and Natia Federation. In fact, many Neosfia citizens think so in their eyes, just like when the Auckland nobles call Neosfia people "a fishy nouveau riche", they will immediately counter-humiliate and call each other "climbing out of the grave."

The mummy that comes is a truth. When facing the Three Poles of the civilized world, the nations always have a sense of innate inferiority that they can't raise their heads, but not only does the Neosfia people not, they often have a sense of superiority that is condescending. They are even not just humans. When facing elves, dwarves, sea tribes, even the mermaids with the most important trading partners, they can't help but treat each other with a look down on the country bumpkins.

This may be the psychological advantage that the residents of metropolitans will inevitably have after civilization enters the commodity society. Even if they live at the bottom of this prosperous metropolis and are busy with the minimum food and clothing every day, they still look down on the rich people who are popular in the countryside or in the second and third-tier cities, and their quality of life is far behind them. Lu Xi has seen many such people in his hometown, but in this world, they can still see them.

It must be admitted that although Neosfia has such a social atmosphere, as an international commercial city, it still has openness, tolerance and pioneering nature that other countries do not have. Neosfia once proudly announced to the world that no matter who you are, you can succeed here, so this is heaven! If you are unwilling to work hard, even if you have a wealth of wealth, you will become poor overnight, so this is hell! However...

"However, these words are just spiritual chicken soup used by funny literati to fool ordinary people! To put it bluntly, in Neosfia, if you have money, you can embrace heaven, and if you don't have money, you can only sink in hell." Lu Xi said to his friends like this: "Qifeng, you should have a deep understanding of this, right?"

"... Every time I hear you say this, I always feel subtly unhappy, but every time I have to admit that you are right." Jifeng glanced at Lu Xi with dissatisfaction and sighed heavily: "Didn't I have such thoughts for a long time? A simple master. It's completely meaningless in the world of Neosfia. Even if I have a **** organization that dominates the underground organization of this city, it is still just a toy in the hands of the chaebol. I understand this very well, so I will try to whitewash the main industries of the organization. But... you know too. The debt of 150 million is so heavy that I can't even breathe. This is also the biggest obstacle to restricting the development of the organization."

"So you are just thinking about it. 150 million will make you at a loss? If I have a debt of 1.5 billion, I can play with the wealth and bank of Neosfia in applause!" Lu Xi glanced at Jifeng and snorted very coldly. He could rarely show such a sense of oppression in front of Jifeng, so he naturally enjoyed it.

This guy is going crazy! If someone else said this, Jifeng would definitely think so, but considering that the business problem was about to be in front of Lu Xi, she said that at this time, she could only endure it.

"But no matter what, since I'm here, everything will be clouds." Lu Xi hugged Jifeng's shoulders: "Just watch how we can make the wind and rain in this world economic center! Well, Jifeng just plays the role of applauding, cheering up, and then worshiping and loving the vase character you love when necessary! Well, for example, Zhou Yunu..."

So, what the hell is Zhou Yunu? Jifeng inexplicably had an impulse to grit his teeth.

When he said this, Lu Xi was standing in the most prosperous commercial area of ​​Neosfia, with no one around, and his aura was obvious and domineering. In front of him was a seven-story building under construction. Even in a very avant-garde city like the Seven Seas Capital, it was considered a very imposing landmark building. When it started construction half a year ago, it caused a commotion.

"When the construction of this building started, it was also on the headlines of Ocean Post." Jifeng sighed: "There are also university architecture professors who said that this will become a benchmark in the field of architecture in the future. But I really didn't expect that this would actually be Lu Xi's industry."

"It's our industry. The new company has your stocks, and the Rotary Club has your seats. Why should we be so polite?" Lu Xi corrected, and silently shining his favorability.

However, before Jifeng could have time to sweeten a little, he heard Lu Xi whisper to himself: "But... this building is indeed short and lou. It is estimated that it will only last twenty years at most!"
Chapter completed!
