Chapter 115

Count Theodore agreed to use the city hall to hold an auction of ice jade porcelain tableware and a banquet.

Yanxing took advantage of the old fox's happiness and put forward the idea of building a road between newtower city and eternal collar.

"I've led you all the way from eternity. It's all grassland. It's not too difficult to build a road. As long as there is a smooth road between us, the goods of thunder swamp and Newtown can flow quickly.

Our thunder swamp has many specialties, not only ice jade porcelain, flight goggles and watches. We also need materials from newtower city... Stone, wood, wine, vegetables and furniture.

In addition, I am going to reclaim the leased land to plant wheat when the sowing season comes.

It all requires a smooth road. "

Count Theodore was very supportive of building a road to the eternal kingdom. Trade can exchange needed goods and increase urban taxes.

But thinking of the current environment in Newtown, he advised Yan Xing: "this is not a good time to build roads. Recently, the situation in the windy Highlands is very tense. Marquis Anderson asked me to reduce the urban food supply to meet the war consumption.

The price of food in Newtown has risen rapidly, and everything with it has risen in price.

Road construction now costs twice as much as before. "

During the conversation, count Theodore asked Yanxing to sit on the reading table by the magic fountain, and then took three books from the bookshelf and put them in front of Yanxing.

A brief history of magic, magic symbols and language, elemental Science

Yanxing picked up the brief history of magic and looked through it. The content in it is the development history and basic magic theory of magic.

Yan Xing read a book very quickly. He could also read and say to count Theodore: "I don't have gold, but I have a batch of grain. I want to invest this batch of grain as capital to build this road..."

Before Yanxing finished speaking, count Theodore interrupted him and asked, "do you have food? How much?"

The crisis inside and outside the city of newtower oppressed, and food is the basis for maintaining all stability. If the grain controlled by the city Lord's house was to be used for war preparation, marquis Theodore could only watch the grain merchants in the city raise the grain price.

If food prices are allowed to soar, it will only exacerbate the internal unrest in Newtown.

Civilians have no food to eat, which will lead to urban riots.

Therefore, marquis Theodore was very sensitive to the word grain. When he heard Yanxing say that he had grain in his hand, he became excited.

"Not much..." Yanxing put aside the finished brief history of magic, picked up the magic symbols and language, continued to look through it quickly, and replied to count Theodore: "but it's enough to help the tutor to reduce the food price of newtower city to an appropriate range.

However, my grain is not sold directly, but only paid in the form of salary and payment for goods. "

"Why do you have so much food? Of course, it's your business..." count Theodore didn't delve into the source of food. It would be bad if the amount of food Yanxing can provide was reduced. Anyway, as long as you have grain in your hand, you can hedge against the grain merchant, no matter where it comes from. The old count said to Yan Xing, "this is an extraordinary period, and it is normal for food prices to increase. I think doubling food prices can be accepted by civilians. People will not starve to death if they are short of money. Anything higher will cause trouble.

At this time, you can provide food, build roads, cultivate land, and give people who have no money to eat a job.

It can not only suppress grain prices, but also build roads at low cost.

Very good, very good.

I support... "

Seeing that the old fox only said support without talking about practical problems, Yanxing pointed out: "mentor... It's not my family's benefit to build the road leading to newtower city forever. You can't let me pay all the cost of road construction.

You have to pay for the line from the border to newtower. "

When it comes to money, count Theodore immediately looks sad.

"Yan Xing, I really don't have any money now. There is a lot of rain in the rainy season this year, and the road from newtower city to storm city has been seriously destroyed. In order to ensure the supply of materials for the war, we must overhaul the whole section of the road as soon as possible.

The gold oak chamber of Commerce offered me five hundred meters of the repair cost. The only repair cost is 7500 gold for the 150 kilometer road from newtower city to storm city.

As usual, this money can be easily taken out of Newtown. But... In order to prepare for the war, Newtown's Treasury has almost been emptied. "

The old fox cried to Yanxing and didn't want to pay for the road construction.

Yanxing's mind is full of glittering gold coins and exchange rate formula.

If a gold coin is calculated at 9000rmb, 7500 gold is more than 60 million.

Good boy!

Most of the roads outside the world city are rammed earth roads. The gold oak chamber of commerce is to pad some earth to fill the gap, and dare to ask for 100 meters of 5 gold.

It's really killing the old fox as a fat sheep.

No... I must not let such profiteers pit my mentor.

If you want to pit me, I'll pit you.

Fat and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Yan Xing closed "magic and language" and said to the count, "mentor, I'll take care of the project from newtower to storm city."

Count Theodore replied, "no... the repair of this section of the road must be completed within two months. Only the road repair team of the Golden Oak chamber of commerce can repair the road so quickly.

That's why they dare to ask me a high price. "

Yanxing took the last book of elementals, which was thicker than the other two books, and said to count Theodore, "now there is another road repair team in Newtown that can repair roads quickly.

Tutor, I'll know which one is better, my road repair team or the road repair team of the Golden Oak chamber of Commerce. "

Seeing that Yanxing said so confidently, count Theodore really considered building another road.

The practice of the Golden Oak chamber of commerce is really annoying.

Recalling the detection image of eternal land, Yanxing's territory is indeed building a road.

Let him try.

Even if we lose to the Golden Oak chamber of Commerce, at least let gal know... He is not the only choice.

The price can be pressed.

"Since you are so confident, I'll arrange for your road team to compete with the road team of the Golden Oak chamber of Commerce. How long do you need to prepare?"

Yanxing thought for a moment.

Last night, he took time to go back to the real world and purchased a batch of vehicles and machinery. Today, we should seize the time to train the driver and understand the roller. We should be on the road tomorrow.

Didn't Eden say he had a manor outside the city?

Get the car to him first and practice in his yard.

Yan Xing said to count Theodore, "tomorrow... Tomorrow my road team will be ready."

Count Theodore nodded, "the road construction can't take too long. I was going to promise the Golden Oak chamber of Commerce today to start immediately.

Now, since you want to compete

I'll inform gale and let him prepare for the road construction race tomorrow. "
