600 dwarven blacksmiths, each of whom will receive a personal remuneration of 5 gold coins per month from the town of Lol Cardin. In addition to equipment maintenance for the Radiant Legion, you can also forge a variety of high-quality weapons for Lol Cardin.

As for the price, if you add the 10,000 gold coins paid to Sorin, such a price sounds expensive, but Yang Jiangong thinks it is worth it. When it comes to casting technology, there is nothing like the dwarves.

After Thorin's Covenant.

Anne the dwarf offered to provide food to the town of Lol Cardin. If calculated according to the annual grain trade quota of 10,000 people, they can provide 5 million catties of food trade every year, which can make Lol Cardan not have to worry about food for a year.

Watching Yang Jiangong sign the seals on the two arrears contracts, Goblin Liman couldn't wait to say, "We goblins have the best underground engineering architects, as well as goblin laborers. It is possible to build even a dungeon for the town of Lol Cardin. ”

Does Lore Cardin need of underground construction?

For various safety considerations. The answer seems to be yes.

So far, however, Yang has only chosen two projects for the construction of underground warehouses.

Military alliances were signed, and various trade contracts were signed, and the alien emissaries from the other side of the Thorn Forest left Lolcadan. And what Yang Jiangong has to prepare next is that in addition to preparing various goods to be exported to the dwarven territory, he also needs more gold coins.

"The iron hooves of the orc invasion will not stop, and war is coming. How much money do we have, my treasurer. ”

Heard Yang Jiangong's question.

The treasurer of Lorkadin immediately responded, "My king, Lorkadin is not short of supplies at the moment, but I still have 100,000 gold coins in my account. But if we deduct the first 50,000 gold coins for upgrading the city, as well as the cost of repairing people's houses, markets, and ports, our finances are not rich. Next month's military spending alone can consume all the balance. ”

After some understanding, Yang Jiangong knew that more trade routes needed to be opened up in order to maintain the balance of fiscal revenues and expenditures.

The Five Kingdoms will not be flattened by the orcs all at once, and it should be very profitable to import grain from the hands of the gnomes and then sell it to the war zone at a high price. There are also weapons forged by the dwarves, and Lol Cardin has the convenience of port transportation, all of which are money-making projects.

As for the coming war.

Broadly speaking, it is not only humans who have wars, but even lower creatures such as ants are often accompanied by acts of war.

The difference is that in human society, money is the main cause of many human struggles.

It doesn't matter if it's a commoner or a lord noble. A person, if he wants to survive, cannot do without money.

With the red blanket under his feet and the curtains hanging from the beams overhead, as far as the eye can see, whether it is a pure copper table or a lot of wooden shelves full of scrolls and books, the furnishings of a single thing look very delicate and neat.

A fire lit in the huge fireplace next to him, and in a crackling sound, Yang Jiangong smelled a nice smell of wood.

It was a habit of his to write a lord's journal every day.

Unconsciously, about an hour later, Catherine appeared in front of Yang Jiangong's eyes at the right time, "Lord Lord, dinner is ready." ”

Brown bread, sausages, a bowl of boiled chicken broth. After a hasty dinner, a council of lords was convened.

So far, there is another problem that worries Yang Jiangong the most, so he brought it up without thinking, "Everyone, if my calculation is right, just 5 million catties of food will require a huge convoy to carry it." And the journey from the burned pit on the other side of the economic forest through the thorn forest to Lorkadin was not an easy one. New trade routes, which will require security assurances, are a difficult thing to do. ”

Yang Jiangong's worries are not superfluous. Travel back and forth to Thorn the Great Therine, a land of wild blood, not as safe as between human kingdoms. And the security he spoke of would require an army of at least a thousand men to ensure it.

However.

Hearing Lord Lorkadan's question, the only alien envoy who remained in Lorkadan's eyes, the dwarf Anne, brought Yang Jiangong a mysterious feeling and did not take his worries lightly in the slightest.

"We know you're there, but what's there, His Majesty King Lolcadin. But rest assured, because since last year, no one has been able to threaten our material trade. ”

Driven by curiosity, Yang Jiangong wanted to continue to ask. But the little dwarf told him mysteriously, "Believe me, Your Majesty the King." ”

Three days later.

Lore Cardin had a simple coronation that could be called low-key.

Since then, Yang Jiangong has received a resounding title, King of Lol Cardin.

In the following day, the busiest time of the day was near evening, when the Hall of Lord Lolcadan was rewarded.

At first, he couldn't believe it, until Yang Jiangong witnessed the arrival of the materials with his own eyes, and the scene in front of him was obviously beyond his prediction.

On the barracks and school grounds of Lol Cardin, the brains of many Lol Cardin people have lost the ability to direct their own actions. He stood there like a log, staring at the behemoth that fell from the sky with two stunned eyes.

"The goblin airship has arrived at Lol Cardin. The people below, ready to unload. ”

I heard someone shouting in mid-air. When everyone looked up, they saw a goblin's green head, poking its head out of the small cockpit at the very front of the airship.

"Is this an airship?"

In Yang Jiangong's perspective, an oval-shaped behemoth floats in the sky. Under the sphere, more than 50,000 catties of cargo were suspended with ropes. Therefore, it is more appropriate to use the principle of hot air balloon rather than an airship.

Who would have thought?

"If the hot air balloons of this world, already have this technology. Is it possible to travel around the continent as long as you have such a tool? ”

Hear Yang Jiangong's words.

Little Annie, first of all, her eyes rolled, "Your Majesty King Lol Cardin, you actually know about hot air balloons." I am amazed by your erudition. ”

Caught the attention of Lord Lol Cardin, little Anne continued, "Lord Lord Lol Cardin, I have to tell you in frustration that the idea of using a goblin airship to travel the continent is unrealistic. There are only three goblin airships in the entire Dwarven Kingdom. Beon not only needs to be inflated every half a month, but the material used to make it comes from the corpse of a dragon. At the same time, because its big belly is full of poisonous gas extracted by goblins using alchemy. Therefore, only dexterous goblins and goblins can survive on it, and it is not suitable for other races to ride. ”

Sensing Yang Jiangong's shocked expression, Anne seemed to be intent on showing off the goblin's achievements, "Even if you capture the goblin airship, it's useless." Standing in the suspended cargo hold of an airship is also unrealistic. After loading heavy objects, the underside of the airship will be filled with poisonous gas, and inhaling goblin gas that cannot be detected by the naked eye for a long time will make a fresh life sleep in an instant. ”
