Chapter 145: Partners in Cooperation

It's about 15 kilometers from Blackfire to the port, and it's actually a better option to ride a horse than a horse-drawn carriage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The young duke didn't choose to ride in a carriage because he wanted to put on a score or anything.

Rather, it was because of the test of the newly built road.

In fact, many years ago, when the port was not abandoned, there was originally a path paved with gravel.

The road was narrow enough for only two horses to pass side by side.

In fact, there are many such roads in the Far East, which were laid by the expeditionary force many years ago.

But this level alone is clearly not enough to link the entire region into a whole.

Unable to meet the needs of transporting goods between Blackfire and the port, Abba protested several times.

When it rains, the road is too muddy to walk, and it is overgrown with weeds and potholes.

Lin Ye's plan was to strengthen and widen the road surface on the original basis to be wide enough for two horse-drawn carriages to pass side by side.

Not only that, but a straight path to the port was to be carved out in the forest.

The former has already been completed, while the latter is still in its early stages.

The reason why it took manpower to open up two ways out.

It was because Lin Ye could already foresee that once the factories were formed, the throughput of goods in the Black Fire Port would reach a very astonishing level.

In order to meet the transportation of goods, the traditional mode of transportation is definitely not possible.

Otherwise, the speed of cargo transportation cannot catch up with the speed of other people's ships docking.

Wait until the goods in the factory are piled up, still waiting in line to be transported to the port for loading and unloading, right?

The only way to solve this problem is to rely on new modes of transportation.

That was the steam engine that was being developed.

Lin Ye has reason to believe that with steam as a power traction, it will definitely set off a new power revolution.

"I just don't know how fast the steam engine will be compared to the horse-drawn carriage after it is formed?" Lin Ye remembered the content of the textbook and smiled dumbly.

In the early days of the steam engine, people ridiculed the steam engine for being too cumbersome, and used horse-drawn carriages to race against the steam engine.

The steam engine was not even comparable to a horse-drawn carriage, which caused a laughing stock at the time.

"It took decades for the steam engine to surpass the horse-drawn carriage, and I didn't have time to wait that long, but fortunately, I remember the drawings of the improved steam engine in the textbooks. ”

Lin Ye sat in the carriage and looked into the distance through the window, and the sound of trees collapsing could be heard from time to time in the woods.

This is the orcs cutting wood, opening up a railway for the steam engine.

The trees kicked up puffs of smoke and dust, startling the birds in the forest.

"I'm sorry to reduce your living environment, but for the sake of the whole Far East, I can only do that, but I will keep the Far East more than 50% forested, and as for those highly polluting factories, I will relocate to other places. ”

The forest leaves retracted their gaze, and the cut wood was sorted, and part of it was used to make pulp raw materials.

Part of it is construction materials.

And the production of weapons is also indispensable.

Under the auspices of the blacksmith Bard, more than 8 iron furnaces operated day and night, and large quantities of iron ore were transported every day.

According to Lin Ye's requirements, weapons and equipment must follow a sophisticated route.

This is also the reason why he spends a lot of money on various smelting additives.

In addition to their daily work, all young people in the territory have two training sessions every day, one morning and one evening.

Archers have to train twice as long.

Compared with other regions, the intensity of work and training in the Far East is much stronger.

But people gritted their teeth and insisted.

Because the smiling faces of their families tell them that it is all worth it.

"Link, why are you here?" Vant, the manager of the casino, immediately came out to greet him when he got the news.

Except for the day the Fit Casino opened after he came.

He hadn't set foot a second time in a month.

"Are all those wealthy merchants in Leaping Harbor?" Lin Ye asked.

"They're all playing here******** Fant led the young duke into the casino.

The decoration of the casino is very Las Vegas-style, although it is a bit suspicious.

But Lin Ye also put a lot of effort into this, and all the processes were strictly controlled by him and Bachi.

In fact, in just one month, the cost has already paid for itself.

Wealthy businessmen are very interested in the emerging poker game and are happy to pass the time here.

For them, it is too easy to make money, and there is a profit of tens of thousands of silver coins in just one boat round trip.

What do they get by losing one or two thousand silver coins each?

"Hey, dealer, what's my card called? yes, gourd, haha, I won!"

A middle-aged businessman happily picked up a pile of chips, and he also threw a few chips to the sailor watching the excitement next to him.

There were seven or eight wealthy merchants seated at the table, and the idle sailors gathered dozens of people.

"Your Excellency Kante is really lucky. Lin Ye strode over.

"Hey, boy, who are you? This is not where you came from. "A sailor stopped him.

Many of these sailors were landing at Blackfire Harbor for the first time.

Didn't know the young duke.

"Presumptuous, I don't even know the famous Duke Link, something that doesn't have long eyes!" the wealthy merchant who had just won the money scolded.

He had a relationship with Lin Ye, so he naturally recognized him.

The sailor was taken aback, the Duke who was very famous in Fish Leaping Harbor was so young?

He was ashamed to explain, but soon realized that he and the other party were not on the same level at all.

Hurriedly retreated to the side.

"It's okay, Duke Ben has been busy with the construction of the new city recently, and he rarely has time to come to the port, so it's reasonable not to know Duke Ben, please forgive me for neglecting you. Lin Ye waved his hand and motioned for Fant to go and get the wine.

Although beer is a bestseller, it is only a popular drink.

The aristocracy remained dismissive of this.

Lin Ye naturally wouldn't entertain these wealthy businessmen with beer, and soon Fante came over with a bottle of red wine.

Red wine has been around in the Miracle Continent for a long time, and it has a history of many years.

However, due to the imperfection of the winemaking process, red wine has always been regarded as an aristocratic drink.

As a result, the production of red wine has always been very low.

There are some wild vines in the Heishui River area, and attempts were made to cultivate two types of grapes in the early days of the forest, but it was never successful.

In the entire Far East, only the Longxi Valley region grows grapes of high quality.

But the dragons were not willing to do business with humans at all, and Lin Ye only got a little bit through other orc tribes.

It is then made into red wine.

If you want to make red wine in batches, it has to be after you take the Dragon's Breath Valley.

"Whatever the Duke said, we all expect to make a fortune with the Duke. Kanter laughed.

Lin Ye had seen him the last time he came to the casino.

knows that he is a big businessman who ranks among the top in Yuyue Harbor.

Taking the initiative to come to the port this time also shows his sincerity in cooperating with Blackfire Castle.

"There is so much money, where can my family earn it, naturally everyone has money, come and come, for our friendship, for our business, do this cup. Lin Ye raised the crystal clear glass.

The scarlet liquid that flows through it.

It's like blood.
