Chapter 241: No Longer a Food Importer

Wu Xin walked to the city wall and looked at the brand new port of Tripoli, and couldn't help but feel a little proud of his achievements.

The fragment of the plane, once designated D104, no longer exists.

Its main body was torn into powder by the power guided by Wu Xin, and most of the souls conceived on it had dissipated, and Alpha ate to his heart's content.

The debris caused a lot of chaos in London and Paris, and its impact on the Nile is unclear.

Wu Xin also got his own share, and the small fragments and souls that were not crushed into powder were integrated into Wu Xin's territory.

After months of fighting on the outer plane, but in the main plane it was only a momentary change, and the port of Tripoli was no longer the only place with three or four thousand inhabitants in total, and the whole city was still a bit like the docks and forts.

The fort was enlarged by about a fifth, and there was a new well.

The residential area and training ground under the fort have also been expanded, and there are a few restaurants and shops around the main road, which is small but still a commercial area.

The Great Lighthouse, which collects faith and provides guidance, has also changed, with the base enlarged by half and the height greatly increased.

This lighthouse is also where Wu Xin is located, so he can't see the changes on the outside for the time being, but inside, he sees that the decoration of the balcony and the decoration of the corridor have become more exquisite.

Of course, the extent is limited, there are very few flame beliefs contained in that plane fragment, and in fact any faith in that plane fragment is weak.

There have also been changes to the port area.

The port of Tripoli has expanded by 50 percent, and there were only five small wharves that could only accommodate ships under 100 tons, and those large ships had to be connected by small ships to trade.

This greatly reduced efficiency and discouraged large merchant ships from coming to trade.

And it also made the Spanish fleet extremely uncomfortable. Although the Marquis of Bazin would anchor in the harbor because of the benefits provided by Wu Xin and the instructions of the Madrid authorities, this anchorage made it difficult for the soldiers to relax, the ships could not be repaired, and supplies were difficult.

Today, those difficulties are gone.

Wu Xin owned seven docks, five of which could berth ships of 200 tons. There are also two huge ships large enough to berth 500 tons.

Spain's largest capital ship in the Mediterranean is just this tonnage.

The dock is not empty now, there are two large merchant ships moored there, with the lion of St. Mark, the Venetian merchant ship on it.

This is something that was not done before the reincarnation quest began.

Now the wharf alone is larger than the entire port area of the past.

Today, in addition to the wharf, there are also hotels of various grades and warehouses dotted around the port area.

Wu Xin could see the bustling flow of people moving inside.

Most of the souls on that plane fragment dissipated, not dissipated, and were transformed into memories.

There were three or four thousand people in the city who remembered themselves as remnants of Egypt. Because of the Ottoman Empire's southward movement, he went into exile in the port of Tripoli.

In the past, the entire Tripoli oasis ruled by Wu Xin had about 20,000 inhabitants, of which less than 5,000 lived directly in the city, and now there are about 10,000 inhabitants in the port of Tripoli alone.

The biggest change should be in agriculture, and the reason why I say yes is because Wu Xin's eyes are not enough to see the boundaries of the dense fertile fields.

Wu Xin indulged in it, standing on the balcony and looking at his own city, he didn't get tired of it for a long time.

"It's amazing. Looks like you've destroyed a D-class plane fragment, a relatively small fragment. "Kessler is one of the few people who can understand how things are changing." In terms of dimensional fragments, the guardian of the fragment should be a very good elite-level powerhouse, right? ”

"The two strongest elite classes, one of them is extremely explosive, and the other can fly." Wu Xin said and took out a bright and vivid feather, "This thing can give the druid the ability to transform into a giant owl." But at least a core-level druid, and it will make the druid lose most of his spellcasting ability, so it's probably not worth much. ”

This is Wu Xin's reward for completing the task, but unfortunately the scope of applicable customers is too small.

"One of the major flaws of this main plane is that it is difficult to gain the ability to fly. The same is true for most satellites, and it's rare for a single plane fragment to produce such a thing. Kessler said this, and understood the flaws of this thing, "If you can find the right buyer, tens of thousands of thalers can always be sold." ”

The loot dropped by Napoleon is in the hands of Delia, the Rosetta Stone.

The others were given more Fate Points, Joel Sr. and Villefort were exchanged for direct combat equipment, Joel's spear was now a "backbone" weapon, and Villefort was exchanged for a pair of boots that increased his evasion ability.

Yara was exchanged for gold coins and brought back to the main plane for consumption, as was Delia.

In addition to this owl feather, Wu Xin also has more than a thousand fate points, and he has not redeemed them for the time being.

After the plane fragments fell, Kessler was the first to witness the expansion of the city and the birth of a new situation, which he was surprised but more proud of.

The leader of the Lord of Flames, the son of his mistress, should have such power.

"I used up a small half of the faith power I had collected in the port of Tripoli for most of the year to kill the guardian of that plane fragment." Wu Xin tried to be as modest as possible, but he still couldn't fully endure it, "Fortunately, some results have finally been achieved." ”

"It was a good deal, as Alexandria and Cairo in the east never fully restored to the Mamluk era, and now the cities of Tunis and Bizerte in the west are in decline due to the war between the Hasf family and Hayreddin. The port of Tripoli was so poor in the past that we could only watch the two cities recover, but now the situation is different, and the port of Tripoli may become a trading center on the southern shore of the Mediterranean. Kessler's mood was also starting to rise, he said with a rather hot voice. Now, we have a much greater chance of capturing that C-class plane, and the capture mission is about to begin. ”

Since a fragment was destroyed, Wu Xin must have upgraded.

"I'm a ninth-level warlock, and I've been able to access the fifth layer of the magic web, and in a month, it's the plane capture mission." The reward for capturing the plane is the expansion of the entire force, after Wu Xin absorbs a fragment. He was also a little puzzled, "It's really an accident, breaking a plane can get so many benefits, compared to capturing a plane, it seems that the income is limited." ”

Wu Xin compared the list of the C-level plane he got last time, and felt that the benefit this time was very good.

Kessler the first seat didn't think so, and he had experienced other fragments absorbed. Know that as a one-time gain, it should be larger.

"You are talking about an undeveloped C-level plane, once the plane is captured, it can carry out development tasks at any time, generally speaking, a fully developed C-class plane can provide various materials of hundreds of thousands of thalers every year, and they are all relatively scarce materials." Kessler added, "Of course, there will also be mandatory defensive missions. Enemies of other main planes will have a chance to seize the satellites, and the demons and devil's followers of our main plane will also destroy these moons. ”

In order to prevent Wu Xin from being too complacent, Kessler also reminded him: "Even so, capturing a satellite still has more benefits than absorbing a plane fragment, the benefits obtained from breaking the plane fragments are one-time, and the captured satellites are benefits that can be inherited forever." Compared with the production of materials, satellites have other functions, on satellites. The Zhenguo and the Protectors can be a little more comfortable, the main plane is too crowded. ”

In a word. Satellites are a greater good than fragments, Kessler is the first right, and the emperor cannot restrain his own **.

Wu Xin listened and nodded to indicate that he accepted Kessler's reminder that he was actually not a young man in his teens and twenties, and that he would not suddenly inflate himself to the point of getting out of control.

However, Kessler continued to remind Wu Xin: "Don't think that breaking a fragment of the plane benefits a lot. Such rapid growth also has hidden dangers. ”

"You see, the expansion of fishing and agriculture is smaller than that of the city, and now the port of Tripoli is beautiful but unbalanced, and more farmland and fishing boats are needed. In order to feed these citizens, we need to expand these two industries, and quickly, and before that, we have to buy more food. "Kessler has made some observations, but after all, he has not studied the situation in depth, and he doesn't know the situation of the plane fragment that Wu Xin has absorbed.

So at this point, he was wrong.

They were talking in a large corridor, facing a window, and Sazastan climbed up from under the window and joined them: "Your Excellency Kessler, why do you say that??? The Tripoli oasis is the most fertile land in the entire southern Mediterranean, and while these will eventually decline as agriculture expands, this should not be what will happen in five to ten years. ”

One of the core labels of this fragment absorbed by Wu Xin is the "Nile", and the water volume of the dark river under the Tripoli oasis has greatly increased, and those fertile lands have also come from this.

This is where the greatest benefit of the plane fragment captured by Wu Xin lies, and it is also the part that Kessler feels is missing, which is the fertility of the Nile.

Wu Xin looked at Sazastan and didn't know how much he could say to him.

"It's really strange, why am I telling you this, this is Father Erlan's problem, I've always been a little strange lately, it is said that I haven't dreamed for decades, it should be said that since I came into contact with the fifth layer of the magic web, I have stopped dreaming. But lately I've been dreaming that the port of Tripoli is a rural fishing port, with narrow streets, low houses, and a so-called port with a few small and dilapidated docks. Sazastan said and jumped onto Wu Xin's shoulder, "We did our best, but the foundation is too poor, we can only rely on robbing the surrounding tribes or something, making a little money, I don't even have a laboratory, oh, by the way, why do I say that, I don't have a laboratory now!" ”

Sazastan's strength is strong enough, and to completely obscure his memories and perceptions, the energy required is too great, and even Alpha is not willing to pay in full, so Sazastan retains some "dreams".

Of course, Wu Xin doesn't think that the port of Tripoli in the past is really so bad, it's just a gap brought by comparison.

"By the way, I'm not here to ask you for a lab today." Sazastan's words relieved Wu Xin, but he didn't let go for long, "The agents of Venice have arrived, and the Austrian side has also sent people, the former has given us a very good price for our grain, and with the loss of most of their overseas territories, they are now in dire need of every grain they can buy." The latter is only worth more than four points, and Father Erlan doesn't want to see the Austrian agent at all, but I think you still have to meet it. ”

Exporting grain?

This is good news, and while the Tripoli oasis would have declined in a few years without the nourishment of the river, it was enough time to change things.

"I thought we had been importing grain from Venice?" Kessler was the first to ask, and he didn't care about it.

"The city of Venice has a huge grain futures market, from where Shylock trades on paper and then ships grain directly to us from Sicily." Wu Xin is familiar with this transaction process.

"Why should we import food??? Wait, in my dreams. Kessler's words made Sazastan even more confused.

In order to avoid an unknowable outcome, Wu Xin interrupted him in time.

"Do you think we should not reject the proposal of the Austrian side?" Since Sazastan had found it, he clearly disagreed with Father Erlan's decision.

"Yes, the Austrian side brought personal letters from my old friend." Sazastan makes no secret of his position on this issue. "Of course it doesn't matter if you decide to sell to Venice, anyway, my laboratory needs money, instruments and apprentices, nothing, we still have to build more altars in the city, promote more sacrifices, there are too few believers in the Lord of Fire among those residents, I need faith to transform Cassano's body."

In fact, in Wu Xin's opinion, Sazastan already has a laboratory and an apprentice, but Sazastan thinks that the room where various nutrients are made is just a studio, and those children who have no hope of reaching the fifth layer of the magic net can only be regarded as handymen rather than apprentices at most.

He wanted a lab where he could study magic, improve the recipes of potions and nutrients, and at least an apprentice who could hopefully advance to the "elite".

"Let's not rush this issue in the laboratory." The situation is getting better, but Wu Xin still doesn't plan to build a laboratory immediately. "But collecting faith is necessary, and this can be considered."

Cassano has not joined the conversation so far, which worries Wu Xin.

In fact, before the mission, Wu Xin was planning to meet Cassano.

The place where they talked, just downstairs in Cassano.

But Cassano, who was supposed to be deaf and clear-sighted, was now unable to feel their presence.

"Then I'll go back first, the halberd tuna that I paid today is going to be paste, there is no real laboratory, and there are no reliable apprentices, so I have to keep an eye on everything." After Sazastan finished speaking, he climbed out of the window directly, although he couldn't fly, but he could climb. "By the way, don't look for me for food talks." (To be continued.) )
