Chapter 357: The Port and the Lord
Located at the corner of Tersu Bay and the Arian Sea, Miluo Port looks like an eagle's beak towards the sea.
As a port city, Miluo Port was quite prosperous, and the merchant ships and merchants brought all kinds of goods from all over the world to Miluo.
The black sailboat docked in the harbor, and Green jumped out of the boat; Harry, holding his wife, stepped cautiously out of the boat; The cow maid Epova followed closely with her luggage.
When Green and his party disembarked one after another, the dock officer walked over with documents and several entourages.
Dock Officer: "Which of you is the owner of this ship?" ”
"I am." Green smiled and turned his head, "Do you need any paperwork?" ”
Dock Officer: "How long are you going to stop here?" ”
"Hmm...... It's going to stop for about a week. ”
"Mooring fee, eight gold coins." The dock officer took out his pen and began to write the paperwork.
Green turned his head: "Epova, money." ”
"Yes, master." The cow maid took a money bag from the chest and handed it to Green.
Green handed over the money bag: "The excess should be your hard work." Green smiled
The dock official took the money bag, weighed it, opened it and looked at it, and a bright smile instantly appeared on his face: "Is there anything I can do for you?" ”
Greene: "Which hotel in the city has more merchants?" ”
"There are more merchants?" The dock official thought for a moment, "Most of the out-of-town traders like to dock at the Harvest Wheat Hotel. The inn was the property of the Earth Church, and the price was reasonable. ”
"Where's the hotel?"
"It's in Xicheng District, not far. There are plenty of horse-drawn carriages for hire outside the port, so you can find one and have them take you there. ”
"Okay, thank you very much. If anything, come to me at the Harvest Wheat Hotel. ”
"No problem." Dock officials pack tickets.
"Oh, yes." Green pointed to his sailboat, "My ship is a magic ship, and all kinds of traps on board have been activated, so don't go up without permission." If a thief comes on board to look for death, you can send someone to inform me, and don't run on the boat yourself. ”
Hearing Green's words, the dock officer couldn't help but glance at the black sailboat without sailors next to him, and the expression on his face became solemn: "I understand." ”
When Green and his party left, the dock officials couldn't help but look at the inconspicuous-looking black sailboat next to them again.
The black sailboat was quietly moored there, looking a little eerie in the light of the setting sun, like a black beast waiting for its prey to come to the door! The dock official quickly shook his head, and shook out the cranky thoughts in his mind - it was just a mage's sailboat, so there was no need to make such a fuss.
Compared to the sailboat next to it, it is obviously the money bag in his arms that is more tempting.
The dock officer opened the money bag and began to count it......
As a prosperous port city, Miluo Port not only has many prosperous businesses in the city, but also has a large number of horse-drawn carriages for rent.
Fat and fat carriage bugs pull carriages of different styles, parked next to the street outside the port, and are very recognizable.
Green looked around, found a carriage that looked pretty good, and walked over.
Greene: "Hello, can you take us to the Harvest Wheat Inn?" ”
The gray-haired coachman laughed enthusiastically: "No problem. ”
"How much?"
"A silver flange."
"Okay, let's get in the car." Green beckoned his three companions and stepped into the carriage.
It is an open-top carriage for pulling people, and the carriage has two sofas on it, which can seat four people. The canopy can also be erected when needed, so that it becomes a cloak carriage.
The four men got into the carriage and sat down. The coachman waved his whip lightly, and the carriage moved.
The carriage did not have a cape, so sitting in the carriage gave a clear view of the surroundings. Green looked around, observing the strange city.
It is a prosperous and clean city, and every merchant has a big smile on his face and greets his passing guests.
"Worthy of the kingdom of Palomia." Master Harry looked at the pedestrians around him and couldn't help but sigh, "Miluo Harbor is just a small border town in the kingdom, but it is no less prosperous than those large cities in Northbird. ”
“…… It's okay. Green doesn't think there's anything special about this city, "the level of an ordinary town." Far worse than Angusari. ”
"There's only one Angusari." Master Harry shook his head, "If there is a comparison, Angsari should also be compared to the royal city of Palomea. ”
"Hmm...... All right. As a third-tier city, the city is really doing well. ”
"It's not bad. Didn't you find out? I didn't even meet a beggar along the way! ”
"Beggars?" Green was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked around.
Even on the economically developed earth, it is difficult to eradicate such a thing as beggars, not to mention that this world is completely on the path of development of the upper class, and the lives of the people at the bottom are very neglected. Therefore, it is impossible to avoid beggars and slums in any city without population control and forced eviction of the poor.
To Green's surprise, however, there didn't seem to be any beggars in the city.
"Master, is there any population control in Miluo Port?" Green couldn't help but ask the coachman about the situation.
"Population control?" The coachman was confused, "What's that?" ”
"It is to enforce the registration of the population in the city, and then forcibly expel those who cannot afford to pay taxes from the city." That's what Angusari did in the land where the land was expensive. Those who can't afford to pay taxes will be forcibly evicted from the city!
"There is a population registration in the city, but there has been no eviction." The coachman smiled and said, "Actually, all this is due to Miss Alice. Ever since Miss Alice established an orphanage, an adventure guild, and a craftsman agency, there have been no more beggars in the city. ”
"Craftsman Agency?" Green was a little curious, "I can understand the orphanage and the adventure guild, but what is the Craftsman Agency?" ”
"It's just an intermediary who helps people introduce people to jobs. It's similar to an adventure guild. It's just that the Adventure Guild is for those adventurers, while the Craftsman Guild is for ordinary people. The coachman said and smiled, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, my current job was introduced by Miss Alice." In the past, although there were horse-drawn carriages for rent in Miluo Harbor, they were not as large as they are now, all thanks to Miss Alice. ”
Green frowned slightly: "Introduce the work...... It's not that easy, is it? What should you do if you encounter those ruffians who don't want to work? ”
"Don't want to work hard? Then send it to the Adventure Guild to be an adventurer. The coachman grinned, "The work of the adventure guild is risky, but the work pays well, as long as you complete a ticket, you basically don't have to work for a long time, which is suitable for those who are not willing to endure hardship." ”
"I see." Green touched his chin and became a little interested in Miss Alice in the coachman's mouth, "Who is this Miss Alice?" ”
"Miss Alice is the daughter of the Duke's family and the acting lord of the city. Since Miss Alice replaced the Duke as the acting lord of the city, the city has really changed a lot! There was a hint of admiration and worry on the coachman's face, "But Miss Alice's health has not been very good, and I really hope that Miss will live a long and healthy life." ”
"Alice?" Green raised his head and looked in the direction of the castle, "It's really enviable......"
I really want to kidnap her and become a lord! Compared with those little children under his command, such talents are really suitable for being lords.
Unfortunately, this kind of thinking is just a thought. Those who have management skills are basically from various aristocratic families, and it is not so easy to poach them. So instead of poaching, Green is still more inclined to cultivate talents by himself.
"It's here. This is the harvest wheat. ”
The carriage stopped in front of a large house full of history.
