Compared with before leaving for Songhai Lake more than ten days ago, Songhai City seems to be a little more lively, the queue waiting to enter the city outside the city gate is long, and it has been lined up hundreds of meters outside the city gate, but the people waiting here are pedestrians, and there is no trace of a carriage.

This time they left only for about ten days, and Xu Shu and the others were busy with the affairs of adding more than a dozen new cities, so they did not arrange the matter of picking up the car.

When Shaoyang's convoy came over, a group of soldiers immediately ran over, not entirely because they recognized Shaoyang and his party, but because they had another mission.

Shaoyang saw them coming, and asked the guards to let them go, and asked the captain who led the team to step forward and reply.

"Your Highness, the number of people coming and going to Songhai City has increased dramatically in recent days, and the City Lord's Mansion has ordered that all carriages entering and exiting must go through the designated city gate so as not to block the city gate. ”

Wu Chang felt that his back was almost soaked, this was the order of the City Lord's Mansion, yes, but this Lord in front of him was the lord, how could he dare to use the order of the City Lord's Mansion to ask for it.

Shaoyang glanced at the crowd, and knew in his heart that the restrictions on the people in the dozen or so cities were lifted, and the number of people who came to Songhai City to seek jobs immediately skyrocketed, so that there was such a situation today, just from the situation of the long queue, you can imagine the scene of people and cars crowded at a city gate.

This is still Xicheng, which has a relatively small flow of people, so it can be seen how far the floating population of Songhai City will grow, and it seems that the expansion is imminent.

Led by the soldiers, the convoy went to another gate in Xicheng, which was originally a small gate, which seemed to have never been used, at least Shaoyang had never been here, smaller than the main gate, but it was enough for four carriages to go side by side.

Although there is no queue at the main gate, there is still a constant stream of carriages coming and going, and there is almost no interruption.

There are orcs in the team, and there is a team of elite soldiers to escort them, and the identity of the people in the carriage is self-evident, not to mention that the three of Guan Zhang and Zhao are extremely recognizable, as long as they have been in Songhai City for a period of time, there is no reason not to recognize them, and the carriage encountered on the road is very conscious to give Shaoyang them a way out.

This is the case outside the city, not to mention the congestion inside the city, and it took nearly half an hour to return to the City Lord's Mansion on the streets with little foot traffic along the way, which should now be called the Lord's Mansion.

Today's lord's mansion has been expanded, and the surrounding mansions have been acquired, or integrated into the lord's mansion, or built into other mansions to reward a group of summoned generals, since Zhao Yun's marriage, they have also moved out one after another, and each of them occupies a set of mansions.

Of course, singles like Zhang Fei and Guo Jia mostly run back to the lord's mansion to eat, while Xu Shu simply stayed in the government affairs hall for convenience.

All in all, the Lord's Mansion is much wider than it was at the beginning, and Shaoyang doesn't plan to arrange any place for the Dragon Clan and the Thunderbird Clan, and directly let them stay in the Lord's Mansion.

Those orcs, Webster they have their own house, but it does not mean to entertain the tiger and leopard clans, Shaoyang thought about it, and directly waved his hand to give a set of empty houses next to it to the tiger and leopard clans.

As for why the tiger and leopard tribes only have one set, and the lion clan can have one set by themselves, this is not that they are closely related, and the houses of the tiger and leopard tribes are much larger than those of the lion clan, so they must have nothing to say.

Habakak was very happy to get the house, and came to the human world, not to mention anything else, that is, the place to live was countless times more comfortable than that of the tribe, even if they were the princes of the tribe and did not need to live in tents in the tribe, but those houses made of stone and loess could not be compared with the brick and wood houses of the human world at all, and there was no exquisite decoration in them.

Happy to be happy, during the banquet, Habakak still did not forget his mission, and once again asked Shaoyang to strengthen the contact between the two sides and send more caravans into the territory of the two clans.

"In addition, our two races also want to be like the lion tribe, buying a batch of food and wine every year, and paying for it with other things that humans need, such as cattle, sheep, war horses, or magic crystal animal skins. ”

For this request, Shaoyang had no reason to object, and decisively agreed.

"That's no problem, the amount of food can provide the same share of each of your clans as the lion, and the total amount of alcohol can be the same, but some types may not be available. "The food that Shaoyang sells to the orcs is carefully considered to help them survive the winter, but there is no way to support the larger population.

"As for the caravans, they can't decide this matter alone, but you can arrange an opportunity for you to contact them on your own, and it is up to you whether you can persuade more caravans to go to the territory of the two clans when the time comes. ”

Shaoyang really couldn't give a direct order to the caravan, but he could guarantee that with that high profit, those merchants would definitely pounce on the territory of the two clans like vultures smelling blood.

At the beginning of the trade with the orcs or the lion clan, even with Shaoyang's persuasion and assurance, they did not dare to organize a caravan into the orc tribe, and when those families with smuggling experience tried to organize a larger caravan to enter, and returned with a full load, those guys who saw the benefits flocked to the tribe one by one.

With Zhuyu in front, Shaoyang estimated that there was no need for Habakak to take the initiative to find them, and when those caravans learned their identities, they would think of Fang Zi and beg for them.

However, with Shaoyang here, naturally this will not happen, ask for more passive, then how much less money will be made, and how much less tax will the lord's mansion collect at that time.

Perhaps seeing that Shaoyang easily agreed to his request and thought that he was easy to speak, Habakak moved his mind and put forward other requirements.

"I don't know if we can buy a batch of weapons and equipment from His Highness, mainly swords and armor, and it would be great if we could provide bows and crossbows. As soon as Habakak's words fell, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, except for Nelson's monsters who were unknown for unknown reasons, everyone else, including Zhang Fei, stopped drinking.

Everyone's eyes looking at Habakak were not quite right, and everyone in Songhai City had bad eyes, especially Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals, who had the intention of killing each other if they didn't agree with each other.

Webster looked at Habakak with the eyes of a fool, and he had the same idea, but the relationship with Songhai City had just been established, and he only expressed it euphemistically, but it was naturally rejected, and he never mentioned it again.

Habakak's idea, it can probably guess, is nothing more than seeing the equipment on the Shaoyang pro-guard, and it was the same at the beginning, that set of armor made of stainless steel, the entire orc tribe does not have a few sets, and the pro-guard is pro-color equipment.
