In the early morning, there was a mist on the river, and Silas stood on the bow of the boat thinking about something. The day before, he would have shrunk to avoid the cold air getting into his clothes, or he would have taken refuge in the cabin, but now he didn't feel cold, and he was full of energy, as if he had gone back in time.

It was the first time he had left White Mist City in two years, and his destination was Ravenwood, the source of iron ore. The team is simple, the travel is low-key, and everything is done to avoid people's eyes.

What kind of place is Ravenwood, Silas knows in his heart, the towns around White Mist City have his management, but Ravenwood does not. Not only him, but the rest of the merchants are also far away from there, and where there is no profit, it is hell for the merchants.

At first, there were businessmen who thought they could dig out their wealth, but after a series of failures, no one would think the same way. The town's archons all live in Whitefog, and Silas has little hope for there.

Quite simply, the local area is a large village, a poor village, with no resource output, no economic product.

The discovery of the veins in the town has undoubtedly brought life to it, but it has also brought unlimited business opportunities. Peel started an ore business, but ignored the economic effects it bringed, which is what Silas likes.

A town, a town that has grown from a blank slate, needs a lot of things, and the benefits brought by these are by no means comparable to the purchase and sale of ore. If the lord of the town is not a fool, he should know that it will be more beneficial for him to develop the town.

Silas has seen too many nobles, most of them mediocre misers, who don't want to spend a penny to invest, but always want gold, more gold. They are willing to lock their money in a box and rust it, rather than invest it and bring back more income.

Knowing too much about the nobles' behavior, Silas decided to go to Ravenwood in person.

He didn't know what kind of man Leon Burton was, but he was an aristocrat. If you want Leon to come up with the money to develop the town, you have to let him see the benefits of development, instead of living with the money from selling ore for the rest of his life.

The economic circulation of the town will definitely bring more income than selling ore. Silas also intends to persuade Lyon to abandon the ore trade and consider smelting iron ingots and crafting finished products.

Not far from town.

On the banks of the river, Silas saw a group of people reclaiming wasteland, what was they doing this season?

From this, he speculated that Leon was not a traditional miser, and that Scrooge would seize any way that would generate profits in his hands, and that the mining of these people was their first choice.

This is good news for him, and God knows how difficult it is to convince a miser to invest.

When the boat arrived in town, the dock was a simple piece of wooden planks that crunched together, and he suspected that with a hard step, the pier would cease to exist.

The town was as he had known it beforehand, a large village.

The castle in the middle of the village is clear at a glance, and there are no other tall buildings except for it, not even the shadow of the Holy See.

There was no one on the dock to greet him, and this surprise visit was due to the urgency of time, but fortunately the place was not large, and it didn't take much time to walk there.

The town was the same as he thought, but there were also differences.

On the streets, if these muddy fields could also be called streets, not many people were seen walking around, except for women and children, and the labor force should be requisitioned to mine.

He was surprised by the cleanliness of the streets and the lack of dirt to be seen. Even in White Mist City, except for a few strictly controlled streets, most of the rest are filthy, how does a small town do it, could it be that this street is also strictly controlled?

Well, the whole town is regulated, and after a little bit of a look, Silas came to a conclusion that he didn't believe in himself.

It doesn't matter, it's better to go and talk to Leon as soon as possible.

After the guard's pass, Silas walked into the castle.

He was taken to the drawing room, where the furnishings were old and the decorations were not elaborate, far worse than his home in White Mist City.

"Hello, Mr. Silas. As he surveyed his surroundings, an energetic voice came from behind him.

He has slightly curly brown hair, standard facial features, and wears a simple velvet coat. Is he the prince he used to be, the lord of the town now?

"Hello, Lord Leon. Silas didn't know whether Leon was a duke or an earl, so he had to address him broadly.

"I don't have a knighthood, so I can't be called an adult yet. Have a seat. Leon smiled, it was the first time he had heard such a name.

"I'm sorry, Prince Leon. Silas apologizes for not knowing this information in advance, but it was a big mistake.

"It doesn't matter. I heard that Mr. Silas is a merchant in White Mist City?" Leon was very interested in his identity, and if a merchant came to meet him, it must not be just to chat.

"Exactly, he is also the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and all kinds of transactions are involved. "In order to increase the prince's willingness to cooperate with him, honorary status cannot be hidden. Everyone wants benefits, so whether the object of cooperation is reliable and whether it can bring greater benefits to themselves will be the first consideration, and then it is necessary to highlight their own advantages.

"So you're here for the iron ore?" asked Leon. There was something else in the town besides iron ore that would attract them, and if there were, they would have come long ago.

"It does matter. ”

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. "Lyon has reached an agreement with Peel, and the two have been working together since the timber business. There is currently no excess ore to trade.

"Prince Leon, you misunderstood. I'm not here to talk about ore. Silas felt a little surprised, most people will ask the price first and then think about what to do when they encounter such a situation, but the prince refused, at least in the integrity of the cooperation is worth trusting.

What he wanted to work with the prince was not a matter of a day or two, but could last for years. During the period of cooperation, the rest of the merchants will definitely come to intervene, and if the prince has no reputation, it will not be a good thing for him, and he may turn his back on the cooperation at any time.

"So you want to talk?" Leon couldn't keep up with the head of the chamber of commerce, and if he could, he wouldn't have to worry about building a smelter.

"The future of Ravenwood. Silas has a clear purpose for this time, and the future economy of the whole town is in the scope of cooperation.
