Chapter 227: The Attitude of Shuizhu Port
"Newspapers are a good thing, I need to buy a few more copies and bring them back to Shuizhugang." The salted fish merchant muttered to himself, seeing the value of the newspaper's existence.
"No, a few newspapers are far from enough, there are many old brothers who dare not blatantly go to Tomorrow City, they are all waiting for Tomorrow City to capture Shuizhu Port, I should buy dozens of more copies."
The more the salted fish merchant thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and immediately beckoned to the newspaper girl on the side of the road.
Little Lori, who sells newspapers, hesitates, and sees that the salted fish merchant already has a newspaper in his hand, and he doesn't understand why he asked her to come over.
The salted fish merchant saw that little Lori didn't come, so he took the initiative to step forward.
Cat-eared Lori shook the cat's tail and said uneasily: "Uncle, it is illegal to abduct children." ”
The lionman's face instantly darkened, "I bought all the newspapers you have in your hand." ”
"Uncle, you are so good, I have nineteen now!"
"Well, you can find a way to help me get dozens of more copies, the more the better, and I'll take it back to Shuizhu Port and sell it."
The salted fish merchant was overjoyed and wanted to touch the little Lori's head, but he was disgusted by the girl and was not allowed to touch his head to kill.
This made the salted fish merchant feel very sorry.
……
The next day, salted fish merchants were promoting the newspapers of Tomorrow City in Shuizhu Harbor.
Tomorrow City sells two copper coins a copy, and he sells ten copper coins a copy.
At first, it couldn't be sold, because no one knew what the hell the newspaper was, only that it was paper full of words.
The salted fish merchant asked his peers to try to read the big bold headlines on the newspaper, and when the peers saw that the town of South Shore was attacked, the newspaper sold out in an instant, and it was sold out in less than half a day.
"Allen's newspaper big-print idea is so good, haha, a hundred copies changed hands and sold for a thousand copper coins."
At the same time that the salted fish merchant was finished, he suffered from gains and losses, "I knew that I would buy a few hundred more copies." ”
The large bold characters on the newspaper made it easy for the newspaper to be promoted, and at the same time, the first page of the war report in Nan'an Town attracted the hearts of all the Orcs of Shuizhugang, so the newspaper was sold out.
The next time it may not be so easy to sell, but his first round of sales has opened, and the rest will be easier to do.
"We have to hurry up and ask if there is a newspaper tomorrow."
The salted fish merchant's ass was not hot, and he led the men of his merchant house to the city gate to persuade the plague to take his boat.
"Hungry orcs, I know you're hungry, there's an opportunity right now, I need a lot of orcs to dry salted fish for me, who wants to sign up?"
The salted fish merchant spoke loudly, urging the orcs to board his thief ship.
The soldiers on the wall of Shuizhugang looked at each other, restless.
"What is he doing?"
"It's like we're hiring."
"Does he have so much food to feed them?"
The soldiers were surprised, and the messenger reported the matter to the commander, who immediately reported it to the higher-ups.
The top brass of Shuizhu Harbor took this very seriously, and immediately rushed to the city wall with a few Templars to talk secretly with the salted fish merchants.
Half an hour later, the high-level of Shuizhu Port left, and the salted fish merchant continued back to the city wall to carry out his great transportation business.
Obviously, Shuizhugang is not very loyal to Lionheart, and even has rebellious thoughts.
Now that Tomorrow City has begun to steal people from their towns, the fact that Shuizhu Port has no objection can already explain its attitude.
After convincing for most of the day, more than 300 orcs reluctantly agreed.
The salted fish merchant recruited so many people that he always felt that he would degrade them into slavery, and the above reasons were feared by the poor people, and they did not dare to take risks.
Only those orcs who are so hungry that their lives are in danger of their lives have given up their dignity as long as they can get a bite to eat.
The salted fish merchant was lying in his big bed after a long day, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Allen, this guy, is he using me as a gun to test the attitude of Shuizhugang?"
The more the salted fish merchant thought about it, the more he felt that Allen's purpose was impure, and used him as a gun.
……
The next day, Alan met the salted fish merchant again at the Tomorrow Bar.
"Lord Allen, you are not fair this time, use me as a gun to test the attitude of Shuizhugang." The lion man cried and was aggrieved.
"Olife, I didn't use you as a gun, you thought of it yourself." Alan smiled, raised the soda in his hand, and toasted with him.
The salted fish merchant pursed his lips, and said in his heart that only fools believe your nonsense.
He doesn't dare to be aggressive, the two have different identities and statuses, Alan has military power and political power, and he can block him with a word, he doesn't dare to be too reckless.
"Lord Allen, you see that I'm working so hard, why don't you send me a few more drinks?" Olivee was talking, his eyes on the glass soda bottle on the bar again.
This kind of soda is only available in Tomorrow City, and there are no other places where it is.
If it is sold to Shuizhu Port, it can even be speculated to a high price of more than a dozen gold coins.
No, maybe it can be speculated high, as long as you grasp the shipment volume well, so that the rich are willing to pay for it at a high price.
The salted fish merchant's eyes lit up, as if he saw a way to make a fortune.
"Tomorrow City, it's a place full of business opportunities, salted fish is selling well, newspapers are in demand, soda is extremely scarce......" Olife rubbed his hands and looked at Alan with pitiful eyes again.
Alan beckoned and asked the cat-eared maid to draw another soda for the salted fish merchant.
"There isn't a lot of soda production, and this bottle is the last bottle of the month."
Allen's words made the little abacus in Olfee's heart directly cold, this thing is one bottle less than one bottle, in order to earn those dozen gold coins, is it really worth selling soda to Shuizhugang?
The answer is no, Olive's dream is to eat all the good things in the world.
"Do a good job and continue to transport the victims to Tomorrow City." Alan finished his soda, got up and patted Olife on the shoulder, and left leisurely.
Some of the staff stayed in the bar and ordered food.
Some orcs covet the pretty girls in the bar and deliberately stay for some food.
Windsor and other female orcs didn't have that idea, and after Eren left, they also came out.
"Young Master Allen, Shuizhugang has no objection to us stealing people, can we establish an open business cooperation with Shuizhugang?" Windsor held a stack of papers, her head moving slightly, waiting for Allen's answer.
"Well said, you can give it a try, you will send a secretary to inform the orcs of the Ministry of Commerce later, and ask them to send someone to Shuizhu Port to communicate."
"Yes!"
The voice fell, and Alan and the others walked into the residential area of Tomorrow City.
As Tomorrowland grows and develops, the fringes of the residential area continue to expand, and the orcs at various construction sites volunteer to work overtime to squeeze the last bit of sunshine out.
The orcs worked until the night was dark, and then they stopped what they were doing, put down their work, and went to the shopping street to buy fresh vegetables and meat.
Because of the existence of high wages, some orcs have no way to spend their money just by saving, so they simply buy vegetables and go home and cook their own food.
The big pot of rice is free, but it is not delicious enough, and the orcs have begun to think about improving their quality of life.
In Allen's view, this is the progress of the orcs, with surplus money and time, it will generate consumption and promote the development of commerce in the city.
