Chapter 64 Tunnel Operation

The climate in the wasteland is getting worse and worse, but the inhabitants of Stormwind are much more excited than ever, and a thousand kilometers away, an arched portal is in place, and the orc craftsmen from Smaye City are in full swing laying the floor, and the shrewd decoration skills have made the processed floor fit into a wonderful pattern.

At the front of the arched portal, a small stone plaza has taken shape, and in the center of the plaza is a swirling hurricane stone carving.

Hurricane Station!

Those who have experienced the underground highway in Smye City know what these three words stand for, and from here, you can directly connect from the underground to the westernmost part of the wasteland.

In the blink of an eye, it was half a month, and even the nobles couldn't help but take a few more looks at this kind of novel architecture, of course, if they could enjoy Forbes furs or minotaur slaves from the beast plateau in winter, what was more important for them was slaves and furs.

These represent huge profits!

As the sun's rays slowly enveloped the entire wasteland, surprisingly, the northwest wind also stopped howling, and at the entrance of the hurricane station, a long stream of red silk slowly fell to the ground.

Touch!

The long ceremonial flowers poured directly into the sky, Li Zhen looked at the flow of people gathered in the square with a smile, and announced loudly, "Welcome to the Emerald Ridge Underground Expressway, from now on, the east-west passage through the Agate Great Wasteland will be officially operated, from the easternmost hurricane station to the western Simai station, it will only take five hours, and now, as the Lord of Emerald Ridge, I welcome you to come." ”

Li Zhenshu's voice was very simple, the businessmen didn't care at all, they were concerned about the preferential activities for the opening of the hurricane station.

The first three days of operation are completely free!

The underground high-speed passage has been raging these days, and as soon as the gate of the storm station was opened, the crowd rushed to the underground tunnel like crazy.

Medusa Ivy quietly followed Li Zhenshu's side, on one side, this is Nagadora, who is busy with tunnel construction these days, and the three of them stay quietly in the top floor is a shop, according to the same shop built at Smai Station, there are already several merchants ordering.

However, these are not Li Zhenshu's worries, whether this tunnel can operate as he expected, there is no answer yet, he needs to wait for three days.

"The operation of the various transfer stations is no problem!", Li Zhenshuo turned his eyes to Naga Dora on the side, this Sea Clan Naga who is familiar with the construction is temporarily in charge of everything on the tunnel, there are a total of six transfer stations in the east and west tunnels, except for the westernmost ones that are managed by the Smai clan, the rest are bandits in the wasteland.

After more than two months of annexation, the exiled mage tribe closest to Stormwind City, an assassination alliance with the Night Elves as the back, the third is the notorious Wolf in the wasteland, the wonderful angel bandit group girl, the volcano demon successfully defended his territory, and the last one is extremely mysterious, the Black Knight bandit, but it was another tribe that Li Zhenshu saw that day.

On that day in Emerald Ridge, except for the exiled mage and the angel leader, the little demon of the volcano, the remaining three Lao Li had not even seen each other.

"Everything is according to your orders, the shops, squares, restaurants, taverns, animal pens, and warehouses of each transit station are equipped as standard, and as for the defense of the transit station, we will not interfere, and leave it to those bandit groups to be responsible!"

Watching the flow of people enter the tunnel, Li Zhenshuo felt that maybe he could rest for a while before the storm, no matter what Stormwind City thought of the tunnel he had opened at his door, those bandit heads in the wasteland alone were enough for Li Zhenshuo to drink a pot.

He didn't believe that the notorious robbers would obey his own arrangements like good citizens.

One day, two days, three days, everything in the tunnels was running, and the merchants were able to come back from a trip from the orcs in just three days, and the orcs were also very welcoming to these Terran slave traders, who could bring much-needed food, and with the maintenance of the underground tunnels in Smye City, they were naturally safe.

But by the fourth day, the tunnel was tolled, and everything seemed to be running as usual, and as sunset approached, a rumor slowly spread in Stormwind.

"Have you heard, that underground tunnel, how much does it earn a day, a hundred golden hooves, I can't imagine it. ”

It's a simple rumor, but in the taverns of Stormwind, the merchants talk to each other about the horrible income, and the underground highway doesn't make as much money as the robbers, but at least a thousandth of their income.

This kind of high tax makes the businessmen feel distressed, but compared with business and efficiency, they slowly accept the commission of the tunnel.

However, one in a thousand, most of the business of these merchants is in the thousands of golden hooves, so that a caravan must contribute at least one golden hoof to this tunnel.

In the Tavern of the Doom of the Storm, several croissant merchants gathered together and muttered, "Have you heard, that Emerald Ridge boss collects a hundred golden hooves in one day, and the income is really terrifying!"

"Impossible, how can there be so many? I think ordinary people are only two coppers!"

"Ordinary people, what is this, do the caravans know, don't you see, there are at least more than fifty caravans borrowing that tunnel today, and many caravans from the Terran country are coming, I dare to say that as long as this tunnel is established, it can collect at least five hundred golden hooves a day!"

"Five hundred, that's too exaggerated!"

"What's an exaggeration about this, people have the ability and ability, and you can build a tunnel. ”

A rich man has risen in the wasteland, and almost all adults are talking about the topic of after-dinner chatter, and in the City Lord's Mansion of Stormwind City, the exact information about Li Zhenshu and the operating costs of the underground passage have been compiled into a book and placed on the table.

A middle-aged man who looked a little rich, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, "There are really a hundred golden hooves, a day?"

Next to him was a more shrewd young man, leaning forward slightly, very respectful, "These are estimated by us, it shouldn't be wrong, city lord, did we use the army to take over here." ”

The middle-aged man stood up and said sternly, "Let's wait, those barbarians of the orcs are not quiet, and the army of Stormwind City is used to defend against the attack of the orcs." ”

The City Lord's Mansion classified this tunnel and handed it over to several worshippers for negotiation, and in Smai City, she was also having a headache over this terrifying income, Nolan sat at the desk in the center, with the same assessment of the tunnel income on hand, although she knew that Li Zhenshu might have a good income, but she never imagined that it would be so much.

One hundred golden hooves!

Imagine that the tax revenue of Smai City in one day is less than fifty golden hooves, if it were not for the intervention of the Beast Temple, I am afraid that a heavy army would have been sent to occupy the nearby Smai Station by now.

It doesn't matter if you become a laughing stock, but this road of wealth for the beast clan can only be watched, which is really uncomfortable, but thinking that there is not even a transit station on the side of Stormwind City, I can't help but laugh, at least it is still advantageous here.

Avril gently poured tea for Li Zhenshu, who had been in this office for five days, and Li Zhenshu didn't go out a single step, lying on the bed and reading some travelogues he had just bought, and the rest was sleeping.

He didn't even care about the development of Emerald Ridge, as for the situation of several transfer stations in the tunnel, he listened to Dora's simple report, well, there was no indication.

"How many days?"

"Huh?", Ivy was stunned for a moment, this was the first question she had heard in a few days, "Lee, what did you say?"

"How many days has the tunnel been open?"

"Oh, five days!", Ivy hurriedly said, she needed to report the various rumors in the tunnel and Stormwind City to her boss, "Li, these two days Stormwind City is a bit uneven, and it is rumored that our income is too high. ”

"Oh, how many do they say?"

"A hundred golden hooves. ”

Li Zhenshuo smiled and took a sip of hot tea, "What about our specific income?"

Ivy looked at the booklet next to her, "After the summary of the Jade Ridge yesterday, a total of one hundred and seven gold hooves, three hundred silver coins, and five hundred and six copper coins were earned, and they haven't come out today, but it should be higher than yesterday." ”

"It seems that their estimate is not bad!", Li Zhenshuo smiled and stretched, "Let's go, the tunnel is running badly, let's go out and take a walk." ”

"Boss, we have so much wealth in our hands, Stormwind won't just leave it alone. ”

"So, we're going to go out for a walk!", Li Zhen said with a shudder, "We haven't walked around our own tunnel yet, let's at least meet with the leaders of the transfer station." ”

"You want to see those robber heads, boss, I'm afraid?"

"What are you afraid of, afraid of eating me?", Li Zhen pushed open the door with a smile, only to see a huge figure standing at the door, it was Bear Bear, "Why are you here? Isn't it in Emerald Ridge?"

"Boss, it's not good, there's something wrong with the tunnel!", Xiong Ba hurriedly said, "Two caravans have been robbed, and the merchants have gathered in the storm station square, and now they don't dare to enter our tunnel." ”
