Chapter 188: Build the Road First
If you want to get rich, build roads first, in that special time in a special country in the world, this sentence once appeared on the wall outside the courtyard of every house, to the extent that it can be seen everywhere.
This is not a joke, but it makes a very correct point.
If outsiders can't get into a place, then what's the point of construction?
Just like the current Yamas area, it is located in a good place, along the Heishui River, and its narrow shape allows it to border many families, which can be a shortcut to many transportation.
However, because of the harsh environment in the area, especially the almost unsmooth road, and full of deadly dangers, coupled with the fact that the Heishui River lies there, most people will choose to bypass this place even if they travel, although it will take away a lot of roads, and because there are many families passing by, they may have to pay some more, but at least it is much better than giving their lives to the halfway road.
Until then, only some explorers who wanted to profit from it would come here.
And since Langdon became the lord here, there have been more people who have walked here, but most of them are mainly large troops, such as Vivien's troops at the beginning, the troops attacked by the Wall family later, or the missions of the Hovlan family and the Qiveta family, etc.
Individuals, or small groups, still rarely pass through here.
Langdon became lord here, but spent most of his time building up his power, and had little time to actually govern the realm.
Although there was already a basic plan for the construction of road sections within the territory, including the clearing of various dangerous areas, it was far behind in the plan in Langdon's mind.
And now, with the arrival of a large number of merchants, the matter has become extremely urgent.
The first five Dark Elves to follow Langdon, the Larry brothers and Ibaka, were spying in Wall City, and Mihai was ordered by Langdon to give them orders, leaving only one Deadmond.
And today, Dedmon also set off with the team again.
His task was to go to the Hoflan family and then the Qiveta family to have another trade negotiation with them, this time the trade was the same as the first time, only grain - in just a few days, Langdon had used all things to grow again, and the people who harvested the grain were all old people, all of whom had already seen the grain ripen overnight last time.
While miracles or miracles can bring many benefits, such as popular favors, they can also sometimes cause trouble.
If this matter leaks out, I don't know how many people who originally coveted him will be impatient to do something to him, and now once there is a war, these merchants are scared away, and everything he did in the previous month or so will be in vain.
Because what Langdon wanted was more special, Langdon did not let Lu Zijing out of the trade negotiation this time.
Joining Dedmund on the road are Hogg and all the goblin knights, who have a more special mission.
Langdon had given Hogg a map two days earlier, a map of the area bordering the Hovlan family and the Kivitta family in the area of Eumas, and it marked two routes, which were the routes chosen by the two family envoys when they came, and which were also the safest and fastest routes between the two places by far all things considered.
Of course, the route is not the point, the point is the many points marked on those two routes.
Each point represents a danger, a danger that threatens the lives of those who pass by that route.
Langdon marked each dot behind it, and the Goblin Knights were tasked with clearing out all of these dangers before the Hoflan and Chiveta trades arrived.
Langdon paid for food, and the two families paid for people, certainly not slaves like Langdon had asked for from Mistress Isis before.
What he wants is a pure floating population.
This can't be elaborated, and it will only make people feel ridiculous to talk about it.
Have you ever seen a trade where one side of the trade asks the other to "gather all the people in your family who want to go to xxxx and ask them not to take a detour from the other families, but to take a short route from our town of Yuanwang in the Maas region"?
However, this is what Langdon asked, not all, of course, there are also things like "propaganda to organize a few days trip to the town of Maas, especially in the distant view of the town".
Anyway, it's just a sentence, I need people from your side, but don't worry, I'm not robbing people, I just want them to come to Yuanwang Town to live.
This kind of strange transaction requirements, not to mention the two families, even in this world and that world combined, including Landon himself has never heard of it.
But there is no way, at this moment, this is the only way to solve the territorial problem.
"Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. Langdon said.
As for how many people can come, Langdon himself is not sure, but there should be a lot, after all, even if he doesn't talk about this trade, just the fact that he can provide those two families with permanent enhancement alchemy potions and enchantment scrolls, those two will give him enough face.
Hogg actually has more than one map in his hand, a total of 6 roads leading to 6 different family areas, the roads are not only dangerous, but also difficult to follow, but they are already the best routes that can be selected.
These routes will also be used as the first planning targets for road construction.
Hogg and Dedmund left from the gate on one side of the town with their respective teams, and at the same time, at the other gate, Kazvito left the town with the lizardman spearman, and he also had a few more maps on him, which also needed to be cleared.
If you don't know it, the entire Maas region is more or less connected to 28 families and regions.
One can imagine what a transportation hub it will become once the routes in the Maas region are cleared and repaired, and Langdon's fame is known.
"It's no wonder that the ancient Titans built a city here. If it weren't for the fact that the land here is so barren and desolate, and the terrain is really not very good, it is estimated that a big city would have been erected here. Langdon looked at the three-dimensional map in front of him and said with emotion.
All three gates were departed at the same time, and in addition to Hogg, Dedmon, and Kazvito, Langdon also left again, and he had the largest force he had led.
Because he was leading a road repair team.
Don't forget, our lord has a lord skill in addition to the growth skill of all things granted by the heart of a city.
A skill that is perfect for building roads and houses.
"I thought that my buddy would be able to change the way of being a cow and a cow in a different world, but in the end, I can pretend to be a cow and be a cow, and I still live and live......
The lord sat on the back of a bantam horse underground, thinking sadly.
