"Noah, according to the descriptions from the Radiance followers and communication with other guilds, we have preliminarily drawn a navigation map.
However, it needs verification, but so guilds have already set up shipyards to build ocean-going vessels. Should we intervene?"
The information summary from the Eastern Coast is content Noah listens to regularly; although he knows the situation there like the back of his hand, he can also understand through the reports from his Favored about their work content and status.
"Of course, I not only want a wholly-owned shipyard, but within a century, you must also build a fleet for that is sufficient to control the entire near Eastern Coast!"
Noah made his request.
Although he has only established a harbor outpost on the Eastern Coast and hasn’t deployed a decent ard force, he already considers the Eastern Coast his for the taking, and the mariti powers it extends to, the Golden Dragon will certainly not miss.
The rchants have already begun backtracking the routes from where the refugees of the Alviss Continent ca.
Although no refugee vessel mber can clearly say how they reached the harbor, when asked, it’s always the revelation of the Lord of Radiance, yet they have so impressions more or less.
But the route drawn from these unclear descriptions by the actual participants hardly overlaps by 10%; the risks in such a navigation chart are evident, yet even so, so are willing to invest in it.
The profits from mariti trade are enough for one to ignore these risks, and the massive profits from transcontinental ocean trade drive these profit-seekers crazy.
Noah is not in a hurry to join this mariti adventure, waiting for the rchants to figure out the safe navigation route before entering is not too late.
After all, what he needs to do is to hold the mariti power firmly in his hands. Regardless of whether these rchants can establish a stable route to the Alviss Continent, he will only gain, never lose. Just by controlling all the coastal ports and enacting laws to collect taxes, he can profit from the rchants.
"Honoring your will!"
Noah’s request for fleet establishnt isn’t harsh; even if nothing exists now, with a century-old deadline, considering the resources and manpower Holy Dragon Territory possesses today, Noah’s demand is relatively lenient.
Under the influence of Divine intervention, Holy Dragon Territory is marching into the mariti era, especially after Noah issued an executive order designating Voyager Harbor as an economic special zone, rchants, with a large amount of resources, began to gather at this harbor city, which even lacks self-sufficient food supply.
Even without engaging in new businesses, rely establishing factories similar to those in Holy Dragon Territory in the economic special zone is profitable for rchants due to significantly reduced labor costs.
Of course, the supply of raw materials remains a significant problem, but these issues will be gradually resolved with the developnt of the special zone, and all rchants who co to the harbor city believe in this; they are very optimistic about the special zone’s future.
The increasing prosperity of the economic special zone hasn’t impacted the flourishing of Holy Dragon Land, particularly Elisium, known as the first city of the Eastern Territory, which has greatly astounded Radiance followers who immigrated from the harbor.
Most of them cannot imagine a city so vast and enormous that it can accommodate nearly ten million people living inside.
Doesn’t this equate to several countries living together? It’s simply unbelievable, like so kind of miracle, unimaginable.
However, the most incredible aspect is this city’s care for the bottom-class civilians, including mandatory requirents like minimum wage, all recorded in the Law Code and strictly enforced.
Thus, even those immigrants unfamiliar with the place and people here can find jobs that can easily sustain themselves; the work is easy, and the pay is enough to support the entire family without worry about living expenses.
Of course, living doesn’t an buying a house in Elisium, just renting, and the rented place is sowhat far from the city, according to the locals’ division; they live in the suburbs, beyond the tenth ring.
Hence, in terms of commuting, the Radiance immigrants from the oceanic harbor are slightly unaccustod, but the significant improvent in clothing, food, shelter, and inco is enough for them to overlook these minor flaws and shortcomings.
Because Voyager Harbor’s Customs Bureau strictly controls the immigration qualifications and quotas, every Radiance follower able to immigrate to Holy Dragon Territory is an outstanding worker among hundreds.
Thus, the number of these immigrants from the Other Shore Continent is not large. Although one can see the massive immigration wave in the harbor city with people lining up at the Customs Bureau mansion daily to submit applications, only a little over two thousand, less than three thousand, have been able to reach Holy Dragon Land.
Such a population is nothing for the vast Holy Dragon Land, akin to a drop of ink in the ocean, easily dissolved, let alone efforts to deliberately segregate these Radiance followers.
The Radiance followers who can work in Elisium City are less than a hundred, having little impact on the local Radiant Sect, but they indeed serve as a significant supplent.
Thus, in this city, believers are not many, even if all the All Gods Church’s believers are combined, they are outnumbered by those who worship the Holy Dragon, just the last fraction.
