Episode 12 First Arrival in Xiao Yu (2)

The people of the Autonomous Mission are very ambitious, and they have a lot to do. First www.biquge.info of all, they planned to expand the camp, according to the practice on Lanxing Island, to build more solid houses, to plan a certain agricultural area and industry, to plant a farmer, to build a mill, handicraft workshop, to manufacture all kinds of modern means of production and life. Next, after the camp has a certain scale and foundation, they plan to hire more locals, further expand production, and even open factories and companies, while constantly developing new products, innovating various technologies, bringing in all the advanced technologies of the earth, and constantly transforming the environment in which they live.

To achieve these great goals, the people of the Autonomous Mission need to do a lot of things, and more importantly, they need money, which requires them to find a way to get rich first.

After some deliberation, the Chartered Council decided to conduct a comprehensive survey of the whole small county, and they sent a small group of two or three people to wander around the small county and record all the useful information. After three or four days of investigation, a lot of useful information was collected, which was gathered into the convention, and after some discussion by Grant and Linda, they quickly decided on a plan to make a fortune.

Two days later, Grant, under the leadership of Linda, stepped into the gate of Xiaoyu County for the first time. As soon as the two entered the city, they went directly to the county mansion to visit the county magistrate Shen Wen and other members of the presbyterian church, and submitted an invitation to them to invite the members of the county presbyterian church to a banquet in the best restaurant in the county. After receiving the invitation, Shen Wen and the others were slightly surprised, and under the persuasion of Linda, they finally agreed.

On the day of the banquet, Lin Da and others came to the restaurant early and chartered the entire second floor of the restaurant. Although Lin Da and the others didn't have so much cash, the owner of the restaurant saw that Lin Da was coming, and immediately allowed them to record it in the account first, and then settle it slowly when they had money, which made Grant and the others, who had been worried about the cost of the problem, suddenly feel a lot more relaxed.

After everything was ready, Linda, Grant and others waited in the restaurant, and soon after, the county magistrate Shen Wen and his party finally arrived, including the militia captain Yan Qing, as well as Lai Ming, Tengli and other members of the county elders' council.

Seeing Shen Wen's arrival, Linda and Grant took the lead in greeting her, and Grant first welcomed: "I didn't expect the county magistrate to really appreciate his face, this is really an honor for our Blue Star Clan!"

Shen Wen smiled and said: "Where, how can you say that Brother Lin is also our benefactor of Xiaoyu County, now that the benefactor is invited, how can there be no reason not to come? Not to mention that the nobles have just moved to the shelter, and we should be the ones who should set up a banquet to catch the wind, and now I want to trouble you, I am really ashamed." ”

Lin Da on the side hurriedly smiled and said: "The county magistrate said that he was joking, if he hadn't been fortunate enough to get the county magistrate's arrangement a few days ago, I'm afraid that we, the hundreds of people, would have to go hungry." Come, please take a seat!"

After everyone entered the table, they first exchanged a few words of greeting, and after introducing each other, they began to persuade each other to drink and drink together. In addition to Linda and Grant, there were also several good drinkers such as Schroeder, Tang Long, and Ivanov. Although the number of people was small, they rushed to toast and persuade the county elders and others to drink, and soon the atmosphere became lively.

Grant was born as a professor and was not good at drinking, but he had another purpose to stay sober, and after seeing that the time was almost right, he asked Shen Wen modestly to the main seat on the side: "County magistrate, we have just arrived in your place, and we are not familiar with the situation in this county, I wonder if the county magistrate can introduce the situation in this county a little?"

Shen Wen said drunkenly: "Hehe, it turns out that Brother Ge wants to know this! Of course, there is no problem, you are now from our Xiaoyu County, so naturally you have to know something about the situation in this county... Wanting to know what is the natural thing to do. After speaking, he touched a glass with Tang Long, and without paying attention, he was simmered by Tang Long, and his face turned even redder, and after a while, Shen Wen, who had come to his senses, began to talk about all aspects of Xiaoyu County, and Grant listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.

According to Shen Wen's introduction, Xiaoyu County has a radius of fifty or sixty miles, with a total population of more than 200,000. Although it is located in a remote area, in the eyes of the Blue Star Autonomous Group and others, the geographical environment is extremely superior. Not only is it close to the sea, but it also has good weather conditions, which is very suitable for the growth of crops. Most of the inhabitants of the area make a living from farming and fishing, and there are many craftsmen who make iron and wood, as well as merchants who deal in a variety of simple goods.

The most peculiar profession is the mercenary who specializes in hunting monsters and beasts, most of these people are retired soldiers from the Gui army, specializing in assisting monks in hunting monsters or alien races. Just like the demon hunting team that the Blue Star Autonomous Group encountered when they came, the people on the ship were all such mortal mercenaries except for the three monks. It is said that most of the dozens of mercenaries engaged in this profession in the county are not in the local area, and often only return to their hometowns once in a few years, and some have never even returned.

Grant finished Grant's narration, with a hint of hesitation, and asked, "County Chief, when I first arrive in your land, all of you are planning to find something to do in the future that can make a living. In fact, in addition to farming and fishing, we also have some metallurgical expertise, and now after some discussion, we want to open a fang market in the county to sell homemade tools, I wonder what the county magistrate's opinion is?"

"Oh, you are good at blacksmithing and carpentering?" Shen Wen's eyes lit up when he heard Grant say this, and several other elders who were drinking also turned around with great interest.

Lin Da on the side was secretly happy when he saw Shen Wen and the others like this, and hurriedly signaled to Grant, who naturally understood, and said: "It's not very good, but I just know some shoddy techniques, and I can barely count it as a commodity." ”

"Haha! Brother Ge doesn't have to be modest! I will never doubt your ability in that regard! You don't know! When Brother Lin first arrived in our Xiaoyu County, he was amazed to make a magical black powder, which did us a great favor! I should have thought that his ability must have come from your clan! He talked with great interest about how Linda made gunpowder in Xiaoyu County, experimented with gunpowder, and used it to hunt demons, and praised Linda greatly.

Shen Wen didn't make a proposal to Grant, and said happily: "Our Xiaoyu County has always been not good at making tools, and many things must be purchased from several nearby counties, and some can even be obtained from the county government. If you can create more useful tools, of course it would be the best! Not only can we no longer rely on the tools of other counties, but also can use them for our own use, which is beneficial to Xiaoyu County!"

When Grant heard this, he was overjoyed. They have long paid attention to it, and they want to sell some simple goods made in Lanxing Island in Xiaoyu County and make a lot of money. They thought that they had to apply to the Xiaoyu County Elders' Meeting, so they set up a banquet and invited Shen Wen and other elders to come out to discuss.

Unexpectedly, Shen Hao listened to the words of Grant and others, and actually agreed to the request of the Blue Star Autonomous Group to open a fang city in Xiaoyu County, but what surprised him was that Grant and the others made another strange request next.
