Chapter 44: The Second Half
Brad was a little bit more, and another light curtain appeared again, this time in the light curtain was also in full swing, even at the time of the celebration they were still working hard, and now they were working, and they were compensated with several times their wages.
This side is a dust swamp, and now it is daytime, and in the two light curtains, you can see the bustling Theramore on one side and the ogre-style rugged buildings on the other.
"Guys, this is a scene in a muddy swamp, it's still daytime, and the railroad is being built at the same time in both places, and this is not the track for the minecarts, but the train, which is actually the same nature as the subway. You should know that the Dust Swamp Road is difficult and dangerous, and the adventurer will not talk about the road, and the swamp produces a lot of valuable things to transport at a great cost. And this railway is to connect the Celamor of the Jasper Collar to the Ogre's fortress, so that it will also arrive in a very short time. And the goods can also be transported quickly. ”
"Suffice it to say, the speed of the train and the subway is about the same, and according to the estimates of the great engineer, the railway being built now from the fortress of the ogre on the island of Seramo, which means that it used to take several days to travel, now only takes a few hours to reach."
Now that there were large and small light curtains behind Brad, Brad took a deep breath and continued: "Now that Taloomir and Southsea Town have also been attached to the Jasper Collar, naturally, the railway and road plans will also be on the agenda. My Jasper Territory's plan is to build a three-dimensional transportation network of land, sea and air, far, medium and near, and we are trying to link the various territories of the Jasper Territory together, and it will take everyone's efforts to make Azeroth a village. ”
"Shipping companies are just a temporary over-the-top product. All I hope is that one day in a few years' time, the Jasper Territory will be paved with smooth and sturdy roads, and there will be large road and rail links between the Territories. There were airships and clippers between the different continents, which eventually became completely linked. ”
"Speaking of highways, Jasper Collar has done it, Stratholme is almost finished, Theramore has also done it, and other regions are still working hard."
With Brad's words, the light curtain appeared one after another top view and scenery map, and neat and spacious roads appeared. The road is lined with tall trees on both sides, and in the middle of the city is a wide highway with flower beds separating the sidewalks.
It's different from the cold technological civilization of the earth. The picture is full of the magic of Azeroth, and the architecture and nature are harmoniously blended together, which seems natural and harmonious. And these roads are not made of cement, but of special materials. Successfully formulated coagulant.
This solidified pavement is much stronger than the bearing capacity of cement. If the road of the earth is two Golon or one or two dragons can be destroyed, but the material of this coagulant can carry the dragon and even the Golon to run. More importantly, even if it is destroyed, some materials can be lightly decomposed and softened, and then can be replenished and solidified, and there will be no waste residue or anything like that.
Almost everyone was attracted by the variety of Jasper Collar images, even those who lived in Jasper Collar all day long, they did not have the opportunity to see such a beautiful top view.
And those foreign forces needless to say. Among the many foreign forces, Dalaran is a real magical building. The beautiful spire building is a combination of humans and high elves, but it always gives people a kind of unsuitable place to live.
Stormwind's complete megalithic architecture, while solemn, is equally oppressive. Stormwind's roads are paved with gravel or stone slabs. The Kingdom of the High Elves is the most beautiful and gorgeous, the roads are actually similar to Stormwind, and of course they are also very focused on the quality of life, and the same combination of magic and natural breath.
Not to mention the night elves, the natural atmosphere is too strong, a qiē respects nature, simple wooden buildings, of course, except for the Temple of the Moon.
As for the other races, it is still in the primitive stage, and the roads are basically dirt roads, and they are basically muddy when it rains.
That's what happened, they were attracted to the various roads of the Jasper Collar, and everyone had a sense of unreality when they saw the rushing and fast traffic.
"As I said earlier, I personally think that's what you really need. There is a saying in the adventurer plane that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. This means that no matter how good things you have in your place, but they don't work, then what's the use of good things? Let's take the Minotaur side as an example, why the Minotaur is now in total passivity. Brother Kane, what do you think? ”
Kane. Bloodhoof frowned slightly, and then stretched out, knowing that Brad wouldn't ask this to laugh at them. So he pondered for a moment before saying, "It's not that I'm boasting, my Minotaur clan can be regarded as a powerful fighting race." However, the opponent we faced was too strong, the centaur shooter was too powerful, both in terms of running speed and stamina, and it was completely restrained, so that we were defeated. That's about what happened. ”
Brad shook his head and said, "Wrong, you said that centaurs are powerful. That's where you brother you haven't been to goblins, and you haven't been to Dunhold, because in your eyes the mighty centaurs are just cheap slaves. Even my right-hand man, the Rebellion, was bought by me in Dunhold. Everyone knows this. Goblins may be weak in your eyes, but they are the ones who have captured these centaurs and transported them across the Endless Sea, and they will either be slaves or gladiators, just a joke for the entertainment of the human aristocracy. ”
Brad took a deep breath and said: "I don't mean anything about this and discrimination, I just want to make a point, you minotaurs are suppressed, not because you minotaurs are weak, but because you minotaurs don't know how to be flexible." ”
"Now that I'm talking about roads, I'm going to take roads as an example. Let's put it this way, you minotaurs are not without good things. Your skin-making skills, herb picking, and skin-cutting skills are absolutely top-notch, and you and the centaurs are constantly fighting, although you are weak, but with the bows and arrows you obtained last time. That's also very good stuff. You may not know how popular these bows and arrows that you cheaply handle just for some low-quality food in Lordaeron. Even the discerning High Elves are using these sophisticated bows and arrows in the face of good performance. ”
"The value of the cheap goods in your hands has multiplied a hundredfold in Lordaeron. I don't say this to stir up a relationship between you and the goblins, after all, businessmen are just here to make money. Even if you have been trading with the merchants of the Jasper Collar for the past two years, they are still making profits. I'm sure Brother Kane knows. ”
Kane. Bloodhoof sighed and said, "Of course I understand that merchants are also at their own risk when transporting these things from our side. After all, neither bleak places nor any other places are smooth sailing. If there is an accident, it is very normal to lose all your money. ”
Brad nodded and said, "Yes, that's the truth. Maybe many people will think. Building roads is useless except for convenient travel. So let's change our thinking and change it to a military perspective. Suppose during the Orc War, I used the subway to transport troops, and I could get it from Jasper to Stratholme in a day. At the beginning, the Tower of Windranger was in an emergency. What if I had an airship? ”
As soon as Brad's words came out, he immediately exclaimed, and countless people came to their senses. Yes, if there were these means of transportation back then, it is estimated that the orcs would have been much more miserable than they are now.
Brad smiled and continued, "I think everyone has understood the importance of transportation. In this way, it is brought into the tribe of the Minotaur, if the Minotaur have a complete transportation network. The goods of the Oxhead clan can be easily transported to Theramore, or even to Lordaeron. Then this money can be earned by the minotaur himself, with more money, he can upgrade and better equipment and supplies, just ask, if the minotaur has enough locomotives, can the centaur catch up with the minotaur. Again, if the Minotaur had enough artillery and muskets like the Jasper Collar, would they still be afraid of the centaur attack? ”
"All this is to illustrate the role and significance of a complete transportation network. Of course, Brother Kane, don't get excited, I said this on the premise of having a transportation network, and you are a bit unproductive in building roads in this situation. ”
"I understand what my brother means, I'll talk about building roads or something later, I just have a reluctant request."
Brad was surprised and said, "Just say something." ”
Kane. Bloodhoof and Terror Totem glanced at each other before saying, "That's the case, my Minotaur tribe wants to open a flight route to Theramore, I don't know if it's okay?" In our current situation, the land route is basically surrounded by centaurs, and it is a problem if the strength is not strong, only airships, centaurs have no way. ”
"Brother, it's my transportation company that makes the ultimate profit from opening the route, why did you beg me, I should say so. Even if my brother doesn't say it, I'll discuss it with my brother after it's over. Brad said in surprise.
Kane. Bloodhoof nodded and said solemnly: "Great grace is not to be thanked, our Minotaur tribe has recorded this kindness." ”
Kane. Bloodhoof already understood what Brad meant, and Brad clearly pointed out a clear way for the Minotaurs by saying that the problem of transportation, if the route was smooth, then they themselves could go to Theramore to sell bows and arrows, herbs, skins, equipment and other items, then their Minotaur income would be multiplied I don't know how much. Combined with Brad's promise of a 20% discount on engineering items to be purchased, the Minotaurs are set to turn the tide of what they are today.
Brad shook his head and said, "Brother, let me explain once again that it is my Jasper Collar who will profit from the opening of the route, to be precise, it should be me, because I am the big boss of the transportation company." ”
Kane shook his head and sat down, stubbornly believing that Brad had deliberately said this for the sake of their minotaur's face.
In fact, Brad is right, the big move that Jasper Collar has appeared now is basically operating with Brad's private money. Even if Jasper leads the day to make money, the cost of the territory is also very large.
Brad has obtained the treasure trove of the Raven in Draenor, and it can be said that he is already rich. In Brad's opinion, the money in the treasury is just a worm. The money must be spent as much as possible in order to play its due role, and with this money, the Jade Collar can greatly speed up the pace.
In Brad's current opinion, the problem that can be solved with money is really not a problem, he wants what he wants now, and what he wants is not something that money can buy. For him, money no longer means much, but it is best to use it for development and prepare for the upcoming big war in the future.
This is also the main reason why Brad paid for the school and the transportation company out of his own pocket, and of course, he is the only one who has the courage to do so. For most lords and powers, money is really the most important thing.
Of course, I think the two perverted races of Night Elves and High Elves are not a joke. And Brad is now in the ranks, and the wealth of the Raven Man is no joke.
Woking said loudly: "Brother Brad, is it really good that you are openly soliciting customers like this?" ”
Woking's words caused a burst of laughter...... (To be continued......)
