"My lord, the tavern will open tomorrow, all the wine is ready, and the wine we are currently preparing to operate is ......" Speaking of the tavern, Uncle Gack seemed extremely excited, and the scum kept talking. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Louis hurriedly waved his hand to stop him from continuing to chatter: "You can get these things right, the publicity of the tavern should continue, the price is a little closer to the people, considering the cost of alcohol and transportation, plus some other costs, the profit can be less for the time being, we don't aim to make a profit." ”

"Ah, my lord, this tavern doesn't make money, it's not ......," Uncle Gack was a little strange.

However, Mennie somewhat understood what Louie meant: "Lord Louie means that the residents of the town do not have much consumption ability and consciousness now, so the price must be lowered a little bit at present." I think Louis must have had some other ideas, and the establishment of the tavern was only his first purpose. ”

"That's right, now that the bandits on the Apis Mountains have been eliminated, then the mountains have become a paradise for adventure and hunting, I think it will only take a while, after this news spreads, there will be countless hunters, or students of the academy to come to the Apis Mountains tribe or experience, then our small town of Lorraine, as the closest town to the Apis Mountains, there is no need to say anything more about the opportunities. ”

"Mistress Louie, do you mean......" Meinie's eyes lit up, and she finally thought of what Louie had been thinking about now.

"That's right, we're going to build a lot of simple dwellings behind the tavern for those who come here to hunt or train, and we're going to open a trading market, where the Apis Mountains are rich in animal skins, meat, herbs, ores, and so on. ”

"The small town of Lorraine is in a unique location, and it is up to us to develop it. "This point of looking at the earth may not be nothing, ordinary people can think of it, but in this world, the level of education is backward, in addition to the general magic martial arts academy, at most it teaches some leveling, forging and other professions closely related to combat.

There are few places where business or craftsmanship is taught, so this also contributes to the scarcity and incompleteness of this kind of life occupation.

After talking about the opening of the tavern, Louis casually named the tavern, which is called the gold-encrusted rose, which can be regarded as half describing Meinie, a beautiful and capable woman, although there seems to be no connection between them.

Seeing off Uncle Gack, Louis and Menie discussed how to operate the town's next development, and after that, Louie returned to the base camp.

At this time, he finally received another task that he hadn't come for a long time, "Legendary Training Camp Task 3, upgrade Lorraine Town to a small city within half a year!"

"Half-year mission!" didn't even say what the reward was, Louis scratched his head, according to the division of city levels in this world in his memory, small cities should have at least 100,000 permanent population, annual taxes of no less than 50,000 gold coins, and the title of city lord should not be lower than that of a viscount or a direct descendant of an earl.

In this regard, the town of Lorraine has only met the last requirement at the moment, and although Louis has not yet been knighted, his father is a duke, so it is not a problem.

But for the other two, Louis has not looked at the population statistics of Lorraine Town, but his gross estimate is only 20,000 or 30,000 people, not to mention the tax, so it is indeed difficult to develop to the level of a small city in half a year.

Well, however, Louis first thought of a way to quickly expand the population.

As the robbers in the Apis Mountains died and walked away, some of the civilians who were plundered by them to be used as slaves or cannon fodder were mostly left behind, Louis probably imagined that there were at least fifty or sixty thousand such civilians in the Apis Mountains now, and it was not easy to find them hiding in various parts of the mountains, but they should be able to find out almost all of them in half a year, of course, provided that they did not starve to death in the mountains.

Thinking of this, Louis wrote hundreds of notes at once indicating that the town of Lorraine was willing to accept the homeless people to give them a new life, and at the same time indicated the location of the town of Lorraine, and then recruited twenty goblins and began to distribute them to the Apis Mountains.

"Whether it can be done or not is up to fate, and if you can send Mayne to take some people to persuade the villagers of the nearby poor village to relocate to the small town of Lorraine. Louis nodded, thinking that this method was feasible, the most basic food in this world was very cheap, and a black bread that could have no taste but could be stored for a long time could buy a large piece of it for only a few copper coins, so Louis was not too worried about food.

"Then a circle of inhabitants can be built behind the inner ring of the city wall. Louie summoned Mayor Medles to give the order to build a cottage, and Menie lobbied in the nearby hamlet, as Louis had indicated.

As the days passed, the operation of the tavern was on the right track, and although the townspeople were not used to it, there were always some slightly wealthier townspeople who walked in out of curiosity, and after a few days they got used to coming here for a drink after dinner every day, and chatting with acquaintances about homely things.

On the other hand, when the manpower was free, Louis opened a street around the square in the center of the town and began to build a street market, the so-called trading market.

Louis intended to set up various trading areas here, mainly for the sale of the harvest of hunters or practitioners in the Apis Mountains, or to buy some supplies to enter the mountains.

As for the personnel, Louis handed it over to Medles, and he didn't bother to care about this kind of trivial matter, after all, improving his strength was the king, so when he was fine, he continued to fight friendly battles in the tribal castle to improve his combat effectiveness.

And after squatting next to the holy water collector for a long time to absorb the holy water, Louie's magic level is getting higher and higher, and he has a tendency to move towards a two-star magician.

Half a year later, in the morning, Louis pushed open the door of the base camp and walked out of it, and Mennie was waiting at the door.

"Lord Louis, the messenger from the Imperial City has arrived. Seeing Louie come out, a blush flashed on Mennie's face, and she lowered her head and said to Louie. In the past six months, Meinie has long been conquered by Louis's remarkable vision and mystery.

"Let's go, our town is going to be graded today, let's hope everything goes well. "That's right, after half a year of hard work, Louis finally built the town to the scale of being qualified to be promoted to a small city, as long as he passes the appraisal of the imperial city envoy and signs the promotion paperwork, he can change the name of Lorraine Town to a city.
