Reincarnation Paradise: There are vests everywhere

Chapter 1039 Gust, City of Thousand Sails

Everyone came to Gust, the City of Thousand Sails, and had to pay tolls when entering the city. According to the guards, this was called poll tax.The poll tax for passing personnel, plus the commercial tax for port trade, these two are the main sources of income for Gust City.

The lord of Gust City is Leandro Ferreira, and the royal family name of the Cesar Empire they are in is Ferreira.Obviously, this Leandro Ferreira is a royal.Moreover, his status among members of the royal family is not low, otherwise the royal family would not allow him to control the domestic commercial city.

The fact is exactly the same, Leandro Ferreira is the younger brother of the current king and the most powerful prince.It was with the support of Leandro that the current king was able to ascend the throne.

Leandro, who was in control of many rights at that time, also retreated bravely, throwing away most of his rights in time, leaving only the fief of Gust, the City of Thousand Sails.At the same time, a large part of Gust's tax revenue is allocated every year and turned over to the national treasury.

It can be said that as long as Leandro, who is in control of the city of Gust, does not have any crooked thoughts, he will be the second in command of the Cesar Empire.Moreover, Leandro was also the biggest pocketbook of the Cesar Empire, and many troops were inseparable from the tax revenue of Gust City.

Therefore, business wars, riots, assassinations, etc., these things are not a big problem in Gust City, as long as money is spent, the subsequent impact can be settled.The only thing that cannot be moved is the two major taxes of Guest City, which is making life difficult for the Cesar Empire.

And Leandro is not without other military powers besides the guards of Gust City.He also has an elite force of battle-hardened troops in his hands.After all, as the most prosperous city on the east coast of the Loma Continent, Gust City has never been short of desperate pirates who are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. This army is an elite navy that specializes in dealing with these pirates who are not afraid of death.

Naturally, the Holy Light Squad would not violate the treaty here, and after paying the poll tax peacefully, they entered this well-known city in the entire Loma Continent.

The Riel River divides the city of Gust into two, and the north side is surrounded by the city wall, which almost includes the entire trading post.The south is older, surrounded by besieged caravans around the fortified city.

There are three bridges connecting the cities on both sides, they are Meritorious Bridge, Rath Bridge, and Qingxi Bridge.Five large areas surround the mouth of the Riel River.They are the command area, the port area, the chamber of commerce area, the business area, and the industrial area.

The commanding area, as the name suggests, is the area where the ruler of Gust City is located.The financial department, tax bureau, administrative department and other departments of Gust, City of Thousand Sails, are also located in this area.It is mainly the residence and office area of ​​officials.The residence of Prince Leandro, the lord of Gust City, is also located here.

The port area is the area where ocean-going ships stay, occupying most of the estuary of the Riel River, where loading and unloading workers and fleet personnel come and go.

Both the chamber of commerce area and the business area are areas for commercial activities, and the difference between the two lies in the difference between dynamic and static.The business area is somewhat similar to the trading market in the paradise, very lively and free to trade.The chamber of commerce district is half commercial and half political. This is where the chamber of commerce is stationed in Gust City launched by those upper-class people who want to have a bite of cake in Gust City.

The industrial area is the area with the highest level of mechanization in the entire Gust City. Shipyards, parts manufacturers, etc., and various machinery production factories together form the industrial area.

The first area with the strictest military defense is the command area, followed by the industrial area and the port area.Therefore, the most popular place for those pirates is the chamber of commerce area. Not only do you not need to face the strictest military guards here, but you can also grab good things, and at worst, you can kidnap tickets and let the characters behind the kidnapped chamber of commerce pay for the ransom .

It was under such circumstances that the people behind the chamber of commerce united and put pressure on strengthening the guards against the chamber of commerce.However, Leandro completely ignored this request, and the command area was to protect the lives of imperial officials.The industrial area and port area are the core of the entire Cesar Empire water transport business.A mere chamber of commerce is far less important.

Gust, the City of Thousand Sails, has a very long history, even before the Cesar Empire.In the beginning, some people who advocated the road of mechanical technology gathered here and established this city.Since then, explorers everywhere have heard of the new city and considered it a great place to go.

In the ensuing years, these explorers came here one after another and gathered together, and the scale of Gust, the City of Thousand Sails, is also growing day by day.

The good times didn't last long. Due to the pressure of political struggles, the influence of the establishment of the Cesar Empire, and the decline of the city's residents' own enthusiasm, the scenery of Gust City has not returned to its heyday.However, it is still an indispensable important content and precious memory in the lives of people here.

Later, with the stability of the Cesar Empire, those in power would naturally not ignore this city with a long history and great development and utilization value.Soon a series of development plans centered around Gust City continued to advance.Gust City has returned to its former glory, and even its prosperity has surpassed its peak.

The current City of Thousand Sails is not only extremely prosperous, but also retains all the urban buildings and living footprints of residents since the city was built.No matter what, Gust is the city of a thousand sails after all. Whether it is full of people or silent, it is an indelible city in the long history of the Loma Continent.

Lin Jiu and the others entered from the west gate of Gust City. There are only three gates in this city, the west gate, the north gate, and the south gate.The east is completely facing the sea.After they entered from the west gate, the area they passed was the chamber of commerce area.A wide street, from time to time a high-end car drives by.On both sides of the road, at intervals, there will be a very luxurious building with the words of a certain chamber of commerce written on it.

Each of these buildings represents a chamber of commerce, and the establishment of these chambers of commerce here means that they have a firm foothold, and the forces behind them are strong enough.It mainly plays a symbolic role, and commercial activities are mainly carried out in the business district.And the place occupied by these chamber of commerce buildings is only one or two streets, and most of the remaining areas are residential areas.

"Let's go to the port area first and complete the task." Blair led the team members, crossed the chamber of commerce area, and went straight to the port area.The goods they received in the mission are the ordered goods that have already been traded, and they are directly sent to the port area, and there are ships waiting to transport these goods to leave.

Blair commanded the crowd, bought a vehicle to transport the goods, and transferred the goods from the storage space to the vehicle when no one was there.A group of people surrounded these trucks of goods and headed towards the port area.

Because they entered Gust City from the west gate, the easternmost port area of ​​Gust City was the farthest from them.The fastest way is to walk along the Riel River by boat, but the Holy Light Squad brought the goods, and with the shadow left by Honglian's attack, everyone expressed that there was enough time and they could just go by land.A group of people also took these trucks of goods and walked through the industrial area to the port area.
