After three months of construction in full swing, the construction of the town is nearing completion, and with this momentum, the construction of the port begins. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The rest of the materials were all shipped to the port, and in order to facilitate the connection between the Black Fire Castle and the port, the young duke ordered the road to be paved.

Considering the subsequent transportation hubs, Lin Ye and Eight Feet stipulated the width of the road after discussion.

And a series of construction standards were formulated, which were supervised by the seven-foot dwarf throughout the construction.

With the introduction of red brick and cement, the construction efficiency has improved a lot, although both of them are still in their infancy.

The workmanship is very rough, and as for the concrete or something, Lin Ye still doesn't have to think about it.

At the current level, it is almost the limit to be able to do it now.

The plan of the port is roughly 4 storage areas, which are mainly used to store all kinds of goods.

At present, the main commodity of Blackfire Castle's foreign trade is still beer.

Although iron ore and coal mines have been released now, no matter how many of these strategic materials are not enough, Lin Ye will never choose to export.

After trial and error in papermaking, the little old man finally found a suitable wood for making pulp.

In about half a month, the first batch of products will be released.

However, Lin Ye has no plans to sell the paper on a large scale for the time being, as long as he blocks the technology, at least within ten years, only he is unique, there is no other semicolon, he plans to package the paper, take the boutique route, and sell it to the nobles at a high price.

As the so-called odd goods can live, fiber paper, which is easier to preserve and easier to write than parchment, will definitely sell for a very considerable price.

As for the promotion of the people or something, it is limited to the Far East.

Lin Ye did not believe that he had an obligation to promote cultural diffusion for the Empire.

He only needs to take care of the acre and three points of land in the Far East.

In addition to the storage area, the port also has a functional area.

There are hotels and restaurants in the functional area for foreign businessmen to stay on the shore, and as for supplies, Heihuo Port only provides fresh water.

It's better to find a way to supply food elsewhere, Blackfire Castle's own food production is very limited.

The most striking building in the functional area is the newly built casino.

The traditional gambling tool of the Miracle Continent is a very complex board game, which is usually not understood by ordinary people except for the nobles.

The entertainment of ordinary people is very random.

For example, guessing the odds and doubles of the stone and the like, it is not very entertaining, and there is no skill at all.

In this case, the little duke took the lead in creating two kinds of entertainment props: dice and poker.

Paper mills are still producing paper that is easy to write.

But the hard paper used to make poker has long been baked.

The merchants who come and go are very new to poker and don't know how to play it.

However, the little duke is familiar with all kinds of gameplay, including ******** and twenty-four.

After he taught Vante how to play poker, he put him in charge of the operation of the casino, called Fike, and spread the game.

As for setting up the casino in the harbor and not inside the Blackfire Keep.

Because this is only for overseas wealthy businessmen, Lin Ye completely prohibits gambling within the territory, and he doesn't want a bunch of gamblers among his people.

However, in order to take care of their entertainment life, he taught the game of fighting landlords.

Orc and human soldiers, after a busy day's work, sit on the ground and fight the landlord.

It's also a very unique sight.

"My lord, this month's financial income and expenditure have come out. Milia held a document and reported in her office.

In order to shorten the distance with the people, Lin Ye also moved to a temporary settlement during this time.

Set up a table in a tent.

It's a temporary office.

"What about this month's income and expenditure?" Lin Ye asked without raising his head.

It's not that he's arrogant, it's that there's so much to do.

Whether it's a new town or a port, or a new factory, plus a dozen or so mines.

Although there is a special person in charge of these, he really can't put his mind at ease, after all, it is now the construction stage.

There are still many factors of instability.

"This month's income is 140,000 silver coins, including 124,000 silver coins from the beer trade, 800 silver coins from port accommodation and catering, and 15,200 silver coins from casinos. Milia reported truthfully.

Now the cleaning of Blackfire Castle has been handed over to someone else.

As Lin Ye's earliest student, she also became the deputy of Mr. Mori, the financial officer.

"140,000 silver coins? Now we mainly rely on beer trade and casino income to make money, but those merchants are really arrogant, they have earned so much in a month, how is the flow of people in the port now?" Lin Ye asked, holding his chin.

The entire Blackwater River region has long been looted by them.

The main source of silver coins was through overseas trade.

But he already had a currency reform in his head.

When the time comes, a gold standard banknote system will be introduced.

"Trade is very active in the port now, with more than five ships arriving at the port every day, and about 20 ships docked at the port for a long time, and the merchants are waiting for the beer to be shipped. Miria said with a wink.

In less than a year, the Black Fire Castle has undergone such a great change.

This is something that was unimaginable before.

Is this poor family in the Far East finally about to rise?

"This month a new brewery has been built, and the production of beer has increased to 40 barrels per day, and we sell them for 200 silver coins per barrel, and when they are shipped to other ports, especially in the hinterland, they sell to taverns, at least 500 silver coins. ”

Lin Ye frowned, this price was very amazing.

500 silver coins is almost the income of a normal family in the hinterland.

With a capacity of 100 kilograms of beer, you can sell about 300 to 500 cups in a tavern.

Some tavern owners also mix water and sell even more glasses.

Normally, each beer is sold for 1 silver coin.

This is truly a profiteering industry.

The main thing is that the brewing techniques of the Black Fire Castle can be mastered for at least several years.

During this time, they will be in a monopoly position in the industry.

"We don't have a sales channel in Blackfire Castle, so there's no way around it. Milia smiled.

After the edification of the forest leaves, the staff of the Black Fire Castle have mastered some fresh vocabulary.

It is very unfortunate that those businessmen have made nearly half of the profits.

But compared to the Black Fire Castle that was bullied by orcs at will before.

Now whether it is the standard of living, the economic strength, or the combat effectiveness of the army, it has increased I don't know how many times.

"Channels? This is indeed a difficult problem, when Abba comes back from this trip, I have to discuss this issue with him, by the way, how is the expenditure this month?" Lin Ye asked again.
