Chapter 28: Construction and Mithril Trading Issues
The expansion of the town for seven or eight consecutive days has mobilized almost more than half of the idlers in the town, and as long as money is given anyway, everything is not a problem.
Open mountains and build roads, leading to iron ore veins and mythril veins.
The Mithril vein was not occupied by the orcs, so William naturally wanted to dig it, after all, no one would be too short of such a thing as Mithril.
Expand the streets, repair the houses.
Integrating all the buildings in the town, he had to plan out six housing settlements.
Humans, half-elves, elves, dwarves, barracks, blacksmiths, and other fabrication rooms, etc.
Of course, entertainment and cultural facilities are also indispensable.
Bathhouses must be built, many civilians have commented on him, there are no public baths in the town, only a rainbow river, it doesn't matter if men take a bath, find a place where no one is there and strip naked to pick up soap......
But the woman has to carry the water and return home, which is really troublesome.
But most of the daily water is also taken from the Rainbow River, which makes people feel terrible, like having something in their throat!
To make matters worse, many single men know that they have done worse things in the river, such as fishing......
Meanwhile.
William also had to build a beautiful central fountain on the Rainbow River, where magicians and dwarves worked together.
The thriving marginal town can also be regarded as reassuring to the civilians in the territory.
Many races coexist in the town, but there are not too many communication barriers, after all, this is the legendary continent......
It's all lingua franca......
Although each race has its own language, it is also the language of communication within the race.
Will there be some inconveniences in living habits?
Willian has tried his best to separate their residences, and if there is any inconvenience, then roll up his sleeves and do it, he can be a referee......
The dwarves have a very good talent for building, if they don't pay attention to the aesthetic aspects, then all the buildings they build will give people a sense of security, and their ability to build fortifications is the top in the continent of the gods.
However, the dwarves are the best at crafting and researching new equipment, which is not comparable to the goblins, but it is no less excellent.
………………
The sun is shining, insects are chirping, birds are chirping.
Neither in the town nor in the dense primeval forest, there is no feeling of coolness.
Because the tidal air in the forest only makes people feel more stuffy, the trees that were cut down to open the road and repair the road are not wasted, but are resisted back to the town and used as materials for building houses.
Odom carried the tree around the three of them alone, and threw it on the ground, sending smoke and dust everywhere.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the kettle, and poured it over his blonde hair, which shimmered in the sun.
This is the thirty-second tree he has brought back!
I have to say.
Professionals have a greater advantage and earn more money when it comes to doing coolies......
He was only wearing a white linen shirt, his chest was slightly exposed, and his scarred muscles loomed, which was seductive.
He then looked at William, who was drinking juice: "The full construction of the town is too time-consuming, and I don't even know when it will be completed." ”
William touched Xiong Er, who was biting his pants: "How long is it?" ”
"The town has 4,300 inhabitants and 800 soldiers, of which 300 have always guarded the two veins and acted as overseers, and now the number of people who can expand the town is only 2,700 in total.
According to the number of people today, even if the house is built day and night, and the fortifications are finally built, it will take about half a year.
Again, this is a relationship between the staff and many professionals, otherwise the time will drag on even longer. ”
Odom took a sip of water and continued: "I know your idea, to build a good enough foundation, and even an underground system, in order to expand the foundation again in the future, but according to this way of construction, there are too few people, and it really takes a long time. ”
William kicked Xiong Da, who was biting his shoes, and said bluntly: "I want to find a way to go to the Black Rock Principality to buy a batch of slaves!" ”
"How much gold is left in the town?" Odom sobbed, building a town isn't free, it's all about paying.
"Isn't there an iron mine? The iron ore produced in the recent period of time, and there is a lot of iron essence, enough to sell for more than 500 gold coins, and ...... addition of those Mithril" Speaking of this, William and Odom were a little frustrated.
The Mithril dug up by the dwarves in the past few years has all been refined, and the amount is as high as 1,680 catties!
What is this concept?
That's a lot of money!
Mithril is as light as a feather and as strong as dragon scales, which is an exaggeration, but Mithril is several times harder than steel, but it weighs less than half that of steel.
With this 1,680 pounds of Mithril, plus a blacksmith with good enough skills, you can create 3,360 pieces of silver equipment.
Or turn it into a magic material for magicians, which is extremely versatile.
In a word.
1 pound of Mithril can be exchanged for a minimum of 100 gold coins.
In a region where there is less Mithril, the higher the value, and in a small place like the Black Rock Principality, which does not produce Mithril at all, and relies on imports from other countries, if you really want the price, it is not impossible for 1 catty of Mithril to cost nearly 150 gold coins, and even this is still priceless.
And iron ore is basically not sold at a high price, the name of the steel principality is extremely obvious, there are as many as three or five iron ore veins inside, and there are many iron ore veins to be thrown out, I have to say, this is really a sad story......
Therefore, this is also the problem of William's choice to go to the Duchy of Black Rock to trade.
Now the two principalities are extremely tense, and the old king of the Black Rock Principality is now bedridden and dying because of his injuries in his early years, as if he is about to go to hell.
And this situation also gave the Principality of Steel some bad ideas, that is, to prepare for war.
Then some key war resources will definitely not be sold to the Black Rock Principality, even if there is a private noble transaction, the amount is very small, so the iron ore vein can also be sold at a good price in the Black Rock Principality.
But no matter how the princes of the Black Rock Principality fight for power and profit, no matter how they don't learn and don't know how to do it, when the Dawning City leaks such a treasure thing as Mithril, it will attract a lot of attention and greed.
"Why don't you carve some traces?"
"Huh?" William didn't understand, and it took Odom some explanation that he gradually understood.
Odom had some unique ways of printing the emblems of other nations on Mithril, the most skilled of which was the emblem of the former Lonely Mountain Empire......
This method can lead them to believe that they got the Mithril from somewhere, rather than from the Mithril veins.
"But if it's really printed with the logos of other countries, the amount of Mithril sold can't be too much, otherwise it will arouse suspicion!" William didn't have much to do for a while.
It's also okay to sell Mithril elsewhere, such as across geographies.
But he didn't have time, he didn't have a flying mount, and there was no teleportation array or space gate in this broken place, so it would definitely be robbed halfway.
The position where he appears now belongs to the novice village, and the powerful guy is only more than 60 levels, and he can struggle if he really touches it, and if he resists, it really can't be done, if he really wants to kill it all, William can also PY it......
But if he left the novice village and went out to wave, even if Lautner worked hard, he would not be able to protect him.
"Lautner!"
"Lautner!!" William suddenly roared in surprise and looked excited, causing Odom to take a few steps back, thinking that there was some dirty relationship between the two of them that transcended friendship.
"Who said you have to make a deal with humans, you can obviously trade with elves!" William patted his head, he had been a player for too long in his previous life, and he always used the player's living habits to forget the advantages brought by his identity.
Although the edge town was far away from the Night City, he knew that more than a hundred miles to the east, there was a bustling elven town, where many black leaf elves lived.
He could have sold some of Mithril to those elves, and used the gold coins to buy other supplies in the human principality.
The trouble is a little troublesome, but the safety factor has greatly increased.
