Chapter 349

The night when the martial arts contest ended was destined to be a carnival night.

Hundreds of bonfires rose on the Bank of Yinyue River, and the skinned cattle and sheep turned slowly on the barbecue fork. The cook was busy applying spices and salt water until the meat was greasy and fragrant. The long table set up outside the tent was full of vegetables, seabuckthorn fruits, strawberries and bread.

More than 2000 contestants and their attendants sat around the campfire, enjoying the delicious food and wine provided by the host free of charge, and talking loudly. The guys of the touring troupe shuttle through the crowded crowd, quietly invite well-dressed guests to the troupe tent to watch the wonderful performance, and pat their chest to ensure how young and beautiful the troupe's actors are.

As everyone with a clear eye knows, the night performance of the touring troupe is not only song and dance drama, juggling and animal training. As long as guests spend a sum of money, they can also accept the solo performance of the troupe's actors. These actors are one in a hundred handsome men and women. It is precisely because of the limited number that night performances are only open to the rich. If the guest is handsome enough to take out the blood documents issued by the church and good at sweet words, the girls of the troupe don't mind spending a wonderful time with him. Many frustrated bards are wandering around with the touring troupe.

Of course, for most people, the touring troupe is a place for feudal lords to have fun and choose personal maids. Ordinary civilians prefer to have fun in hotels or pubs, but it's definitely not tonight.

This morning, the priest of the church began to distribute pork to the people of Jinshui city. Everyone can get more than a pound of fresh pork. Tens of thousands of believers ended their Thanksgiving prayers, including the hostess of the tavern, who rushed home to share dinner with their families. In such hot weather, the pork can't last long.

Therefore, the whole Jinshui city is filled with the smell of pork soup.

The hall of Heibao was brightly lit. 11 knights, 69 trainee knights and 576 potential noble children gathered to participate in the feast held by the host. From then on, they will take root in the man horse hills and work for the York family. The chefs in Jinshui city have shown their skills in stewing, frying, steaming, boiling, frying, roasting and stewing. All kinds of skills are available, and delicacies are brought to the table like a running water. The New York family members were full of oil and praise one by one. They even thought that this large-scale feast was enough to go down in history.

As a matter of fact, for this banquet, the chefs began to prepare as early as seven days ago. They were divided into 20 groups and mobilized thousands of people. Only then did they have an amazing food feast. The chief painter of York family preserved the dining scene of more than 700 people at the same time with brushes, and even achieved a famous painting handed down from generation to generation.

Unfortunately, the top leaders of York family did not attend the black Fort banquet. They were all waiting for distinguished guests at Rose Manor.

Hundreds of lizard Oil Candles shine brightly on the elegant and gorgeous manor hall. Sophia was wearing a sleeveless and collarless fine linen robe, revealing her white right shoulder and a pair of symmetrical and moist arms. She didn't wear a belt or jewelry. Her purple hair was casually draped on her shoulders. Her snow jade exquisite fiber feet stepped on a pair of rush woven sandals, looking comfortable and lazy.

Everyone is in the same dress. The post bath reception, regardless of status, does not ask for position, does not look at the background, does not make decisions, and pursues a relaxed and free meeting environment and a relaxed and freehand conversation atmosphere.

This is very much in line with the needs of distinguished guests.

The envoys to observe the martial arts competition are mainly the heirs of major families, including hostile forces. Everyone came to the Renma hill with the purpose of temptation. It is impossible to reach any effective agreement, so there is no need to be too solemn and serious.

At the moment, Sophia was a little uncomfortable.

The great knights and lords of the York family surrounded victor and chatted affectionately. Sophia, as Viscount Randall, was also surrounded by eight great knights.

Anyone surrounded by strange Knights will feel uncomfortable. The most embarrassing thing is that Sophia doesn't even understand what they are talking about. She is like an outsider. Victor's free and easy manner of talking and laughing made her think of the Marquis Basten of the kite Castle palace.

Sophia looked at Victor's familiar face and thought that the old man might not be as good as my little husband. At least I won't stand here like a vase when he holds a court meeting.

"Hanas, your luck is really enviable."

"Yes, we only built a few River reservoirs, but you began to dig canals. It seems that my territory is the last to build canals." Said count tellandon with a sigh.

Viscount Hanas said with a smile: "thanks to victor, we have opened the green brick Market in the kingdom of dodo."

The water conservancy project in Renma Hill costs a lot, and the financial resources of the York family are not enough to support the construction of the main canal. Therefore, Victor formulated the strategy of raising canals with bricks, but this strategy could not meet the needs of all lords. Viscount Hanas is one of them.

Viscount Hanas's territory is located in the north of the man horse hills, bordering on Viscount Sauron. In the sequence of Lords of the York family, he is the northernmost Lord and the last Lord to build the main canal.

According to the agreement, whoever builds the main canal will take the lead in the external sales of green bricks. However, due to the factors of geographical location, transportation cost and market capacity, when Hanas began to build the main canal, the green brick market was already saturated, and the green bricks he produced could only be digested internally and could not be exported to generate income. This means that the cost of building the canal by Viscount Hanas is several times that of other lords.

Victor and Viscount Negus of the kingdom of Dodo reached a green brick sales agreement, and the situation was suddenly different.

In the past, there were three major consumer markets for green bricks in Renma hill. The first was the internal market of Renma hill; The second is to take Yeliu city as the transfer station, radiating the copper city of the SoLIM family in the south of Gambis and the vistock city of the Wellington family in the south central part, collectively referred to as the southern market; The third is the neighbor in the east of Jinshui City, the Western Lord led by Nim family, which is called the Eastern market. Now, add Viscount Sauron and Viscount neigus, and even sell the green bricks to the territory further north through Viscount neigus.

The order of eating meat and drinking soup is determined by the distance of the green brick market. Pinghu Town of Victor and Jinshui city of Duke of York not only eat meat first, but also dominate the distribution of the green brick market. Viscount Hanas could not even drink the soup of the green brick Trade. Victor now opened the northern market. He changed into a leader among the northern Lords.

Count tellandon and Viscount Gillis, both northern lords, were envious of Hanas's luck, and Hanas was naturally grateful to victor. You know, green brick trade can stimulate commodity circulation, which represents wealth and prosperity.

"Victor, if Raven town needs any help, just ask." Said Hanas, patting his strong chest.

"Hanas, where can Viscount Randall need your help?" Lady odel gave Victor a coquettish look, covered her mouth and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's true that you need Victor's help."

"Lady odel said yes." Viscount Hanas smiled and said eagerly, "Victor, I didn't expect my territory to take the lead in building canals. Can you spare time to help me see the location of canals, so as to avoid mistakes and omissions in the future."

Victor shook his glass and said with a smile, "you don't have to worry about the location of the main canal. Although there is no water diversion channel, master Edwin and I have completed the topographic mapping. Each medium-sized stream reservoir is a node. As long as you build the reservoir according to the sign of the sand table and connect the reservoir, there will be no mistakes and omissions."

"Then I'll rest assured." Hanas smiled and said, "Victor, I have another thing to ask you for help."

"I'd like to hear it in detail." Victor sipped the golden iris wine brewed from purple cane and said faintly.

Hanas paused and explained: "Well, there is only one giant brick kiln in my territory, which used to be enough. But now I want to sell green bricks to Viscount Sauron and Viscount Negus. Obviously, one giant brick kiln can not meet the consumption of green bricks in the three territories. So I ordered to build two more giant brick kilns. The problem is that I don't have so many builders and brick makers. Sir, can you borrow some Hand me? When my brick kiln is on track, I will return these people to you. I am willing to bear their wages and pay a fee to the Randall family. "

Victor pondered for a moment and frowned: "It will take more than a year and a half for the two brick kilns to get on the right track. It's not easy for me to train skilled managers and craftsmen, and most of these people are free people. I can't break the rules of canonization and distribution of land to them immediately. If these people stay in your territory voluntarily, I doubt whether you can return them to me?" After a pause, he said with a smile: "Mr. Hanas, you don't want to dig my corner?"

"This..." Hanas took a sip of wine, covered up his embarrassment and said sincerely, "Victor, please help me. I really need these people. I can pay you 100 gold sol for each ordinary craftsman and 350 gold sol for the steward. What do you think?"

Victor shook his head and said: "It's impossible. The Duke made the same request, but I refused. Before the end of this year's water season, Randall's main canal will be fully connected. I will hand over the dominant power of green brick sales to Jinshui city. However, Randall's leader still needs to build ring canals, auxiliary canals, small stream reservoirs and terraces. There is still a great demand for green bricks, so it is necessary to keep them There are enough skilled craftsmen and stewards. However, I will hand over the profits from the sale of green bricks to Lord nbiser as agreed as the fund for the construction of main canals in other territories. If you have any problems in the future, you should consult the Duke. "

Duke of York patted his round belly and said with a smile: "gentlemen, although I am your Lord, I will not interfere in your internal affairs. Moreover, the territory under my direct jurisdiction is more than 50000 square kilometers, the main canal is longer than you, there are more reservoirs than you, and if a large number of green bricks are used in the town, do craftsmen lend you?"

"Enbisser, you can't say that." Count tellandon, relying on his elders as Duke of York, said bluntly: "Victor is not our Lord. When he led the green brick industry, he not only opened up the market of yeliucheng, but also helped us open the green brick Market in the north. As our Lord, you can't do nothing?"

Viscount Gillis also took the opportunity to say: "the south, middle and north of the man horse hill should dig canals to borrow soil and make bricks for sale at the same time. Only in this way can the water conservancy project be completed ahead of schedule and everyone will benefit. Duke, you can't ignore us Northern Lords!"

Nbiser smacked his mouth and said, "otherwise, you send someone to learn? I promise my steward and craftsman will give me everything..."

"My Lord, we don't lack technology. We can train stewards and craftsmen ourselves. What we lack is skilled craftsmen and stewards. We need them now! A lot!"

"Didn't Victor just say that? I'm short of manpower. It's no use forcing me!" Enbiser turned his eyes and simply played a rogue.

After the bath reception, the participants spoke freely without asking whether they were superior or inferior. The northern family immediately quarreled with the central Lord. Mrs. Katrina winked at Bruce. Bruce understood it and said, "don't worry, I have a question for victor."

"Bruce, ask." Victor's generous way.

Bruce smiled and said, "Victor, what I want to ask is about the terraces."
