Chapter 298. Autumn brings a good harvest

The wind in the North Trumming Sea is still fierce, but with a slight chill, which is normal, because autumn is coming, and October has begun to move away from the hot summer and towards a colder season. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For the aristocratic lords, the leaves that are slightly beginning to change color should be carefully observed with an eye of appreciation for art, and perhaps there is another banquet to invite friends who are in good relations to consolidate their feelings, which is a more wonderful thing, and they are happy to be loyal to this kind of thing.

In the eyes of ordinary people, autumn is also full of joy and laughter, because it is the harvest season, whether it is the crops in the fields or the fruit trees in the mountains, at this time they have already left their rich rewards.

In the barley fields, the farmers with sickles are happily harvesting their year's harvest, and the plump barley grains will eventually be turned into piles in the granary, which will become their main food for the winter, and if necessary, they can exchange them for a few small silver coins.

Even on the mountain, the fruit farmers were laboriously picking the fruits one by one and putting them in rattan baskets, and the horse-drawn carts were already ready to transport these fruits of all colors to the city to supply the nobles first.

All in all, autumn is an excellent season, not only the harvest, but also various industries seem to be booming because of the arrival of autumn.

Although wool and linen are not produced in the North Trumming Sea, the merchants from the South Trummagna Sea are also very considerate to send a large number of goods, and the price is reluctantly acceptable even to the poor, let alone those who have their own jobs and assets.

Everything is getting better, and the North Trumming Sea is always busy and thriving until the harsh winter arrives, because everyone knows that there are no merchant ships to dock during that cold and howling season.

Even the Ketufu River on the Great Silver Pan Island will be frozen for nearly half a month due to the cold winter, and there will be ice sliding over for up to a month, and the boat will be full of risks, so at the critical time of autumn, Samar City and Gray Mist City will also be fully prepared with supplies for the winter.

Samar City, which belongs to the granary, and the main trading port of Gray Mist City, will usher in a lush area, which is why the North Tsunami Sea has been able to develop so well in just a hundred years.

However, some people's mood is definitely not good.

In particular, the nobles who had been close to the Governor and exterminated the rebellious Viscount Moulton were already secretly on guard at this time, especially the newly formed river patrol team on the Ketuf River, which was all on standby and ready to attack.

In the past, it was the city of Sama that was on guard against the water thieves on both sides of the Everglades and the Ketuf River, and prevented accidents from happening to the fleets that traveled between the two cities in the fall.

But the situation is different now, because the water thieves who have been harming the Ketuf River for nearly decades have already been completely wiped out last month, and even if the occasional escaped water thieves are still risking their lives to rob, they are not much of a threat at all.

Even if the newly formed river patrol team in Gray Mist City did not clear the water thieves who were hidden on both sides of the bank and formed a small group of more than a dozen people, the guards in the caravan fleet who were responsible for protecting them could solve these small groups of water thieves.

In the past, at least hundreds of water thieves were dispatched, and the boats were stopped in the middle of the Ketuf River, and each merchant ship had to be carefully passed, and they had to pay a lot of fees, otherwise the merchant ships would be taken away, and even the merchants would be killed without a single merchant, which was extremely miserable.

Today's merchants are almost all the way smooth, although when passing by the mouth of the river in the swamp, they can't help but sigh, but the water thieves who were once extremely afraid have completely disappeared.

And some well-informed merchants already knew that it was the lord of Cape Town on the east coast who sent troops to exterminate the Ketuv River thieves in the Swamp, and even the current Swamp was still occupied by the army sent by the lord, forbidding anyone to enter the Swamp.

Many people also know that the regular army of Grey Mist City was also defeated outside Cape Town just a few months ago, so they acquiesced to the East Coast and the Swamp being occupied by Cape Town.

Even some of the newly formed river patrol teams and some businessmen who are closely connected with Gray Mist City have also revealed that the current river patrol team is not guarding against water thieves, but Cape Town, which is more terrifying than water thieves, because after the war between the two sides, although there is now a truce, who knows if it is true or false, and whether it will continue to fight!

If you look at the current inner harbor area of Gray Mist City, you can see that more timber has been brought in, a large number of craftsmen have been recruited, and the rumors that are basically building giant warships are basically being built.

A complete battleship, not the armed merchant ships they used to use!

Although the external statement is still that the warships are still prepared for the opening of new shipping routes, as well as to guard against the upcoming pirates, many people can speculate that they can also find that the warships of Cape Town on the east coast that have blocked the sea area, and the current Gray Mist City, have lost their qualifications to talk.

Since the last expedition was defeated, not only has the army lost its main fighting spirit, but the organized navy has lost more than half of it, and the entire army has been sunk in the sea on the east coast.

Even the merchants who came from the South Roaring Sea already knew this news, although this news was a taboo in the ears of the nobles of Gray Mist City, but as this information spread, many merchants with different purposes had also begun to pay attention to the emerging forces in this sea area.

At least in the past, there was no second force like Cape Town on the island, with its own army and navy, and complete control over an area.

Even in the eyes of some bold businessmen, the East Coast, the closest place to the new shipping route, has more opportunities for development, and many merchants have begun to tentatively contact the East Coast Cape Town.

Although after half a month of testing, finally in the last few days, there has been news that the fog that has shrouded for months has finally begun to dissipate.

The mysterious East Coast, the mysterious Cape Town, has finally announced that it will be completely open in three days, and as long as you follow the arrangement and arrive at Cape Town with good intentions, you will enjoy the treatment of normal merchants, even if you just go to visit, you will not continue to be expelled.

This was a major news, and after hearing the news, many merchants did not take the merchant ships to trade at the first time, but many people also organized small boats and sent people to see them first. (To be continued.) )
