There was only one caravan left to come to the meeting, and the only one who came to sign in, and the quilt brave couldn't help but be disappointed. But if you come to the meeting, you will get the money, this is a promise made before, and the quilt brave will not break the contract, anyway, it is only 100 crystal coins. With the current status of the city lord, it is not too much to afford, and the other caravans do not even bother to take this money.

After getting the money and signing his name, the last merchant didn't say anything more and went out.

Now there is only one Start left, and the quilt brave is helpless, although this man claims to be the owner of the bookstore, but at least he looks very imposing, and it is always wrong to negotiate with him.

Back in the private room, Start was standing in front of the window, as if observing the outside scenery, when he heard the quilt brave come in, he immediately turned around: "How is it over there? Everyone is gone?" still speaking Imperial Chinese.

"It's all gone. Through the driver's translation, the quilt brave replied again.

Start nodded: "Then it's okay now, just take me around the city." ”

Of course, the quilt brave nodded in agreement, anyway, it's nothing to do now. The three of them immediately walked out of the room and began to wander around the city. While walking and observing, the main city was unremarkable, but it could be seen that it had been cleaned, and the civilians were skinny and mostly malnourished.

"How many people is in the main city?" asked Stat.

"Fifteen hundred. The quilt brave replied.

"How many young men are there?" asked Stadt again.

"About a hundred," replied the Quilt Warrior, "this city is short of minerals, and basically all those who are able to it have run away." ”

Starter smiled, "You're real. ”

The quilt brave man was dazed: "What?"

Starter shook his head: "Nothing. In fact, in this case, no one seriously verified the number of people in the city, so if it should be false, it should be falsely reported, and if it should be ignored, it should be ignored. If it weren't for Start, when others heard that there were only a few people in the city, they would probably turn around and leave on the spot.

"What is your strategy for the development of the main city?" asked Stadt again.

The quilt warrior was silent for a moment, and could only answer honestly: "Actually, I don't know, I originally planned to gather a caravan and discuss it together." ”

"Let's talk about it?" Stadt laughed, "just a few? Do you think it's possible? You at least have a general direction, a general goal, and then you can discuss." If there is nothing, how can you negotiate it? Whoever has the highest price will listen to whom? Then you don't even know if you have been sold. ”

"I think I'll have a better plan. The quilt bravely retorted.

"Even the best plans are going to have holes," Statt replied, "and you guys who haven't done business." ”

The quilt brave does not speak.

The three of them then walked forward, and in front of them was the mine, which had been boarded up by this time. Stat spoke: "Why is it sealed?"

"I ordered it to be sealed, and there are not many mineral deposits left, so they can't be mined casually. The quilt brave replied.

"And how much money do you have?" asked Stadt again.

The quilt brave man was hearty this time, and smiled embarrassedly: "I just took office, and I don't know very well." ”

"You don't know how much money you have, so if you lose money, can you afford it?" asked Statt again.

The quilt brave man was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "I must be able to afford it." ”

"How do you prove it?, or do you have something to pledge?" asked Stat again, "not to mention mortgaging your head, your head is worthless, and this main city is worthless." ”

The quilt brave was embarrassed for a moment, subconsciously touched his pocket, touched something in his hand, and immediately took it out: "Look, this is my ID." It was the same document that Barak had given him.

Start took it: "Since you have this certificate, why didn't you take it out earlier?

Quilt Brave: "......"

Start casually returned the document to him: "Next time, remember to take it out early, you have lived here for so long, don't you know what the identity of the empire is?"

The quilt warrior nodded hurriedly and took it back with both hands.

"What does this document say about the quilt factory, you worked in the quilt factory?" asked Stadt casually, "No wonder you are called the Quilt Brave." ”

"Uh...... Ah, yes. "The quilt brave is vague.

"Since you've worked in a quilt factory, why don't you open another quilt factory?" asked Stat again, "I see that your civilians are thinly clothed, and if you wrap a quilt, you can survive the winter more easily." ”

"But ......" The quilt brave man wanted to ask a lot, but he was worried about revealing the fact that he had not worked in the quilt factory, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Starter said to himself: "Have you done any market research here?"

The quilt brave man shook his head.

"The most profitable thing here is to sell weapons and equipment, but this has been basically monopolized by the empire, followed by imitation weapons, or sell some equipment accessories, but these bright brave people are already doing it. You only have daily necessities to try, most of you civilians live at the bottom, that is, of course, starting with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there is no need to think about more luxurious things at present. Staatt analyzed slowly.

"Actually, the best thing for your main city is food, but whether it is growing vegetables or farming, the effect is too slow. Then settle for the next best thing and make a fuss about what you wear. Since you have a certificate, isn't it just right to open a quilt factory? The functions of the quilt are so many that in addition to sleeping covers, draped over the body, making a few wooden strips straight up as tents, and hanging a quilt at the door, which can be directly used as a curtain......

The quilt warrior nodded again and again when he listened, and subconsciously began to fantasize about the scene of every household in the main city hanging quilts at the door.

"But ......" quilt brave man returned to reality, he did not open a quilt factory, and the specific procedures were not known. But he didn't dare to ask, for fear that his documents would become fake.

"It's not difficult to open a quilt factory, and you don't have to be nervous," Start seemed to see through his thoughts, "Buy two machines first, it's not difficult, you can basically learn it in two days." The key is cotton, which is located in a remote area, and the freight costs are sky-high if you want to import it, so it is best to grow it yourself. If you are here, it is best to ask for help from the elves, and it will be of great help if you have a wood-based spell. ”

The quilt warrior nodded again and again, and subconsciously took out the notebook in his pocket and began to record. In order to recognize the names of the whole city, he always carried a notebook in his pocket. Start glanced at it, but saw that the notebook was actually full of Lou Baole Chinese characters, and couldn't help but ridicule: "These are all taught to you by Lou Baole people?"

The quilt was taken aback and hurriedly closed it, after all: "Huh?

"Aren't you all in Lou Pauler's Chinese script?" asked Stat.

The quilt brave hurriedly stuffed the notebook into his pocket: "No...... You read it wrong. ”

Stadt smiled and teased again: "I'm curious, what are you going to do if the caravan fails in the meeting and there is no progress?"

The quilt warrior replied, "I may carry the corpse...... It is said that someone will ...... Kindness...... The main thing is to let the soul rest in peace. In this way, God will forgive us, and our main city will be developed. ”

Stadt asked, "This is all taught to you by the Lou Pauler people?"

"No," replied the Quilt Warrior, "I have come up with them myself. ”

A smile crossed Start's lips. Back to the point, there is production and dumping ground, which is the main topic to be discussed by the caravan. For people in the vicinity, most of the low-level residents who really need quilts can't afford it, while there are not many upper-class rich people, and quilts can't be sold at a good price, and they are not consumables, and a quilt is enough to cover for decades. It's better to let the caravan go far away, but how many caravans are willing to do this?

"Anyway, you get the quilt out first," suggested Stadt, "and if you can't sell it, store it, or if it doesn't break anyway." If the Imperial people ask you for money, then you can also use the quilt as collateral, anyway, there is no money, a quilt. ”

The quilt warrior nodded again and again, as if he had learned a new operation.

"Of course, the best way is to make your own products, even if it is a quilt, it must have its own characteristics, and after people buy one, they want to buy another one. "Stadt inspired.

"How can I buy one and then want to buy another one?"

"For example, it can be updated on a quilt. Stadt replied.

Quilt Brave: "......"

"If you want to see the update, you'll have to buy a quilt," Statt replied, "I can help with that, I'm a bookstore owner after all." Let's talk about the specific things next time, I see that you don't have much preparation today. ”

"Okay," the quilt warrior nodded, "where do you want to go, my coachman is familiar with the section here, let him send you?"

"No, you're busy," Statt waved his hand, "Remember to hurry up and get to the elves, if they don't agree, the cotton won't be dissolved." ”

After saying that, Start walked out of the city alone, and the quilt warrior carried it all the way to the gate of the city, and then went back. Immediately discuss with the parrot, how should this elf person communicate, do you want to give a gift, how much is appropriate?

On the other side, Stat went all the way back to the embassy, and now Stat has also passed by his face, so he doesn't need to hide it. Just go as a normal businessman, in fact, no one else except the Imperials knows where he came from.

"Good work. Kevin stepped forward and said hello.

Starter lay down on the bed with his back to the sky, and the bed board creaked: "I'm tired to death, and I'm most tired of walking a long way." ”

"As a businessman, he has already planned the construction of the main city for him in such a short time. Kevin couldn't help but admire him.

Start disagreed: "The key is to look at the elves, I don't know much about wood spells, how much help does it help cotton grow, what level of mage do you need?"

Kevin replied: "Actually, it's not that easy, as far as I know, wood-based spells can indeed promote plant growth, but once the magic is cut off and the spell is finished, the plants will wither at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the withering is mainly the branches and leaves, and the stalks and fruits are still there." It's just that the fruit of the plant spawned by spells is inedible and cannot be used in agriculture, but can only be used in industry. ”

"And the fruit of the spell can't be used as seeds," Kevin replied, "so no matter what, it's not easy for the Quilt Warrior to import cotton seeds from other places every time." ”

"Is there no better spell to solve these problems?" said Stadt as he sat up.

"As far as I know, probably not," Kevin replied, "Of course there may be stronger mages who can solve it, but I don't think they can be invited." ”

"After all, the wood-based spell is just a ripening agent, and it has a lot of side effects?" said Stadt, slightly disappointed.

Kevin replied, "Someone once tried to eat fruit released by a wood-based spell, but they ended up gnawing on it like wood. The entire interior of the plant has been disrupted, and you have to know how damaging it is to make a plant that was not capable of killing people suddenly become strong enough to kill. Even after people take medicine and get excited, they have to be paralyzed for a while. ”

Start sighed: "You can't grow seeds, you can only keep importing them, which is troublesome." Either plant a cotton field that doesn't use spells and is used as seeds. ”

The ambassador on the side interjected: "There are also ways to solve this problem, many elves also have some plant pets, they will carefully condition these plants, although the fruit is still not edible, and new ones cannot be cultivated, but at least they will not die after the spell." If it is used on cotton, it is to pick one flower, and when the spell is urged, another flower will grow. ”

"Is that okay?" Kevin was surprised, "but you just said that only plant pets are like that, who would want to keep a cotton field as a pet?"

The ambassador replied, "After all, the cotton field does not need to kill, and the spells it works can be much smaller. With the Dark Elf Ambassadors and Light Elf Ambassadors I know, as long as they want to, it's basically fine. ”

"Why don't I go find them?" Kevin was already thinking about how much leverage he had.

Starter stopped: "It's better to let the kobold go by himself, and there is no need to give them everything to do." ”

Kevin smiled bitterly: "Kobold, who will pay attention to him? Besides, I've been fighting alone for too long, it's time to pull two allies." ”

"I'll go," the ambassador finally took it, "I'm familiar with them." But in the end, there are still benefits, how much benefit can you give them?"

Kevin was silent for a moment, but still replied, "My little tiger is still there, and it can be used as a bargaining chip if needed." ”

The ambassador nodded and walked out. Only Kevin and Statt were left in the embassy, and Kevin punched Statt with a punch: "Quilt update?

"Who else but you?" Stadt spread his hands, "At least the imperial Chinese language must be written here, my level is not enough to write, and a few of them have just learned it." You don't want the ambassador to work for you, do you? You don't want to be a genuine bard, and you still want to fish?"

"Why can't you write at your level?" Kevin was unconvinced, "Aren't you fluent in imperial Chinese?"

"Don't talk about it, I'm retired," Stat rolled over on the bed, "I don't want to do it, I don't want to do it!"

Kevin is helpless, he can't help if people don't want to do it, he can't let the little spoon kill him because of this.
