Time continues to flow like a long river, and the waves are fading away, but as the days go by, the chill of autumn grows deeper, proving that winter is coming. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's another month of development, and the opening of Cape Town has doubled almost every day during this month, and the prosperity brought by the opening has completely filled the southern area of Cape Town, and even the wooden warehouses outside the city walls, as well as the open-air warehouses, are now full of all kinds of materials.

Of course, most of the materials are needed in the current Cape Town, especially all kinds of tools, as well as many crafts and handicrafts, including tables, chairs, benches, clothes and pants, and even spoons, forks, and knives.

Because those merchants in Gray Mist City also saw the current lack of materials in Cape Town, they were veterans of this road all year round, and a large amount of materials had filled the market of the entire Cape Town almost in a short period of time.

Not only the interior of the original empty traditional houses, but also the furniture from the Gray Mist City, even the wooden products that were previously made by themselves have been discarded, after all, compared to these high-quality and cheap ready-made products, the things that are handmade by themselves are too crude.

In the past, Levi had given a lot of silver coins to the residents of the Southern District, just like normal civilians, and most of them spent a lot of money to buy household items in a short period of time.

However, some business-minded Spanish citizens even started the trade of second-lane dealers, relying on the convenience of their fellow Spaniards, covering part of the streets, forming a certain gray nature of forced buying and selling, which really made a lot of money, and even made a few merchants in Gray Mist City with evil intentions go back at a loss.

The guards of Gaskell saw all this, but they did not interfere too much, after all, those citizens also knew which was more important, and did not make excessive moves against those merchants who really wanted to start trading.

After all, the development of Cape Town still needs the joint efforts of both sides, especially if you want to collect taxes, most of them are still from foreign merchants, and they are only counting on their own citizens to collect taxes, which is not realistic.

Li Wei stood on the balcony of his sheriff's residence, looked at the streets of the Southern District in the distance, and also noticed a lot of carriages on the streets, and asked a little strangely: "Those merchants, also brought a lot of horses?" ”

Green behind him also looked at the streets of the South District in the distance, but his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he explained to Levi: "I have found out a few days ago that there are many carriages on the streets of the South District, but after arranging people to take a closer look, it also makes us a little helpless. ”

"Huh?" Levi turned his head to look at his chief minister, listening to the wrong look in his tone, but smiled and said, "What did you find, why are you so unhappy?" ”

"Those are some inferior pack horses."

Green shrugged, looked at the streets in the South District in front of him, and let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "Although those merchants didn't say it explicitly, they can guess that it is probably the means of Gray Mist City." ”

"Inferior pack horses?" Levi touched the tip of his nose and understood the meaning of Green's words, so he couldn't help but nod and said, "Some inferior pack horses can't form cavalry at all, and it seems that our friends in Grey Mist City have also been guarding against us." ”

The Great Chamber of Commerce in Gray Mist City is all in the hands of those big nobles, including the most important precious metals, as well as basic materials such as grain and livestock, which are also in the hands of those big merchants.

Among them, weapons, armor, horses, etc., are also directly responsible for the cronies and nobles of the Governor, after all, these things are extremely valuable, and it is impossible for ordinary people to obtain the approval of the Governor to intervene in these industries with a level of war superiority and strategic significance.

"I guess they think that we lack war horses, and we also lack cavalry."

Green nodded, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but his analysis was correct, after the previous battle, the nobles of Grey Mist City analyzed that it was the lack of cavalry in Cape Town that allowed their troops to flee back.

It is true that if Levi had a cavalry force at that time, even if it was two or three hundred people, it was estimated that the army of Gray Mist City that came to attack at that time would be wiped out on the beach on the east coast, and more than half of the people who wanted to escape back would be too whimsical.

But now Levi already has his own cavalry unit, the provincial cavalry from the Spanish Empire, although it belongs to the militia of the cavalry, but it has no problem to carry out regular cavalry tasks.

Although it is still impossible to confront the hoplites of Grey Mist City, and it is impossible to cut directly into the ranks of the hoplites, it is still quite easy for these saber-wielding provincial cavalry to carry out a wave of charges to expand the results after the enemy is hit by heavy firearms.

"But now it's certain that those people in Grey Mist City are testing us again."

Green turned his head to look at Levi, his face was also solemn, and said to him: "We are now self-sufficient in food, and we have been displaced from Spain for a long time, so we can launch another battle." ”

"Is it already possible?"

Levi nodded, and he was also thinking about the previous campaign, the capture of the fortress in the middle of the lake, and the offensive of the undead plane, all of which could be regarded as consuming a lot of material accumulation in Cape Town, but in fact, Levi, who had energy value, did not pay much attention to the so-called logistics supply.

At least with the golden finger of the system, the so-called logistics can be used only by consuming energy values, even if it is to replenish the wounded and supplies, it can be easily solved.

But Levi's eyes were also narrowed, and the energy value was now more than 30,000 and less than 40,000, but it was not impossible to recruit more troops and launch a high-intensity campaign.

"Hold off a bit, and wait."

Subconsciously looking at the south, Li Wei couldn't help frowning, and said slowly: "Gray Mist City will continue to tear its face sooner or later, the difference is only the length of time. But he also turned his head to look at Green and asked, "How is that undead plane doing, and have you found anything unusual?" ”

"Not yet." Green responded: "I have already arranged for someone to keep an eye on that castle of the dead, but since the last time we had a confrontation, the interior of the castle of the dead has been relatively stable. ”

Nodding, Levi still attaches great importance to the castle of the undead: "Keep an eye on it, don't catch us off guard." ”
