Chapter 32: A New Mission
After returning this time, Loran Hill first summoned the city lords of various rabbit-eared cities to make inquiries, and then made a round tour in the Tisilan Mountain Range.
At present, there are 9 cities, 25 small towns, and 87 villages of the rabbit-eared people, which has expanded a lot compared to 7 years ago.
And in the case of extremely abundant food in recent years, the rabbit-eared people have also multiplied very quickly, from 200,000 at the beginning, to nearly 500,000 today, although most of them are children, but it is foreseeable that in a few years when this group of people become adults, the labor force will rise greatly.
What's more, these young rabbits, who have undergone a basic education, grow up well-nourished, have excellent discipline, and are far more capable than their parents in all aspects, and they will also become the backbone of the whole race and the hope of re-emergence.
After spending three months visiting each city one by one, Lorain Hill formulated a plan for the next development of the Tisilan Mountains.
The first is to build roads, and the construction of infrastructure, there was a slogan in the previous life, "If you want to get rich, build roads first." ”
This sentence is actually very reasonable, road construction can be a good integration of resources in various places, which can make the social division of labor more clear, greatly improve productivity. For example, some cities specialize in planting, some specialize in metallurgy, some specialize in manual manufacturing, and so on.
In this way, relevant talents can be concentrated, communication can be better, technology can develop faster, and focusing on concentration will lead to a significant increase in efficiency.
After the completion of the road, there is the planning of the city, and the appearance of a city often depends on its early planning, and it is difficult to change it later. Wide streets, neat houses, and unobstructed underground sewers all contribute to the overall efficiency and hygiene of the city.
Finally, there is the cooperation with the transcendent Warcraft, many jobs are difficult to do with people, and the efficiency is extremely low, and Warcraft, with its talent, will be very convenient.
Whether it's irrigation, mining, harvesting, metallurgy, etc., it can be said that Warcraft has to some extent taken over the responsibilities of large machinery in memory. It's also more flexible, and it's human-savvy and communicative.
After carefully preparing the plan, Lorain Hill gathered the representatives of each city to discuss and finalize various matters before finally distributing the task.
And now, it's time for her to get out of the forest and see the outside world.
-----------------------------
Kingdom of Zephyr, Sea Buckthorn City.
The streets of bluestone splashed with water, the sky was raining lightly, and from time to time you could see people walking fast in the rain, and some people simply didn't care about anything and let the rain wet their clothes, anyway, they were already wet, and it didn't matter how much they had.
A figure in a black hooded robe walked quietly in the rain, fine raindrops continued to slide from the clothes, but they never got wet, and the two strands of silver hair poking out from both sides of the hood showed that this should be a girl.
She walked unhurriedly, observing the exotic scenery.
Seabuckthorn City is located in the south of the kingdom, surrounded by a low field, rich in a kind of berry, sea buckthorn fruit, in the early years also got its name, and later after the independence of Vegal in the south, it became an important transportation artery between the Kingdom of Zephyr and the Vegar commercial alliance, so it also became rich, with a lot of pedestrians and caravans.
Looking at the inns and shops on the street, Lorain Hill felt very fresh, these shops sold all kinds of things that interested her, such as alchemy items from Rulna, brewing from elves, furs from Gufia, clothes and jewelry in the style of the verdant empire. With a wide range of variety, it is worthy of being a commercial center in the south of the kingdom.
Recently, the system released another task, the reward is very tempting, and she has to think about the age-old problem of making money.
Mission: Earn 100,000 gold coins by relying on yourself without using any extraordinary power in the process. (If it is used halfway, the amount will be cleared to zero, and it will be started from scratch)
Reward: Kaos Ring Crafting Manual (Crystal), which has excellent breath-blocking abilities and comes with storage.
The reward is the method of making this space ring, and the breath blocks Lorain Hill to the point that he doesn't care, but the storage space attached to it is very wanted, no matter what he does, it is extremely convenient to have this.
The reality is that the space equipment in this world is very rare, even in the Mercury Dynasty, there are less than 10 pieces, and they are all irreproducible, and if they are broken, they will be gone.
Moreover, the space equipment rewarded by the system, according to the description, can store 3,000 cubic meters of items, which is very huge.
So after Lorain Hill left the forest, his first goal was to come to this commercial town and find a way to complete his mission.
She plans to take stock of the situation before taking action.
Judging from the current price of the Zephyr Kingdom, 3 copper coins can buy a black loaf, 2 black loaves are barely enough for a person to consume a day, but if it is labor, at least 4 can satisfy hunger.
If you want to live longer, you have to find other foods to supplement your nutrition.
Converted, the purchasing power of a copper coin is about the same as 1 yuan in the previous life. And 100 copper coins = 1 silver coin, 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin.
In other words, 100,000 gold coins are about 1 billion yuan in the previous life, and the gold coins of this world are all made by extraordinary craftsmen, with special engravings, which are difficult to imitate, so they are very valuable. So in fact, in general, 110 silver coins can be exchanged for 1 gold coin. The most silver coins used for trading were usually enough, and most of the gold coins were collected by nobles and wealthy merchants.
The summer rain came and went quickly, and after a while, it stopped, and there were more pedestrians on the streets.
Ding Dong Ding Dong —
A pleasant wind chime sounded, and the girl looked up to see that it was an elf-style cold drink shop, with the words "Flowers and Summer Leaves" written on the brown wooden sign in emerald green paint, in Elf language, and the handwriting was beautiful, and the sign was surrounded by green vines, and there were a few small flowers blooming on it.
As summer approached, the weather was getting hotter, and there were many people inside when I looked through the falling glass windows. Loren Hill is also more curious, is there ice cream in this world?
She pushed open the door and entered, and a cool cold air hit her face, dispelling the stuffiness from her clothes.
"Welcome~" A black and white maid greeted her with a smile.
The short black skirt and the knee-length stockings just formed an absolute field, and the leg loops on the upper part of the silk stockings were slightly closed, pulling out a small circle of flesh, making the maid pretend to have an inexplicable color.
It seems that the owner of this shop is also a powerful person, the silver-haired girl thought to herself, and then found an empty table and sat down.
"What do you want?" A maid with long chestnut hair walked over and handed the girl a menu.
"Give me an iced milk cake and a chilled raspberry juice."
I didn't expect to be able to eat ice cream after coming to this world, although the name on the menu is different, but depending on the customers around you, it is actually ice cream, and some of them have strawberries and cherries on top.
"Okay, please wait."
Lorain Hill sat quietly at the table and waited, taking a look at the shop.
The ceiling is covered with verdant vines, and there are hanging baskets with ice cubes in the baskets, which are steaming to cool the interior and make the environment more comfortable.
And when Lorain Hill observed, the door of the store was pushed open again, and a pair of richly dressed two people entered.
At the head was a middle-aged man, dressed in a silk tunic imported from the Plantagenet Dynasty, with a round hat and wrinkled face, but he was well maintained and should have been a wealthy merchant. Because the nobles of the Kingdom of Zephyr did not wear round hats, which was the style of the merchants of Vegal.
Behind him was a girl in a blue silk dress, she had blonde hair and good looks, but her behavior was very casual, not quite like a young lady from a large family.
The girl looked around at the somewhat full store, with a hint of disgust on her face, and covered her nose with a fan.
"Father, can you get these people out, it's too crowded."
