Nick's Mayor's Lounge

Nick is also thirty years old, and after many years of recuperation and wealth, he is now handsome, neat, mild, and calm. Romon couldn't help but think of fifteen years ago, this 15-year-old boy this year. "Lord Lord!" "Te Tasho Bogo!" When Romon entered, Nick and the dwarven representatives saluted by different names.

After Romon entered the legend, the elemental tides were always running around him, which gave him a deep strength and majesty, and it must be said that it was very useful, the dwarf represented Buttran, and immediately had a hint of awe for Romon. Romon accepted the salute from both of them, and asked them all to sit down and listen to them. “...... What? Your lord Pupai has been made a god, and your king Ituka has established the kingdom of Izfa?" Romon was very surprised to get the news.

While talking about "Putai", Romon suddenly felt some kind of strange aura around him, which only stayed for a moment before disappearing. But this breath is not enough to transmit the screen of the legend.

Romon remembered a certain record of the Ice Sage, who was said to know anyone whose name was pronounced, and knew the conversations and scenes of some time after the name. "Yes, my lord Pute has been made a god, and his noble son Ituka has become the first king of the kingdom of Izfa. Butran said respectfully and proudly. "Then let me congratulate your Lord and your Majesty. Romon stood up and saluted. Undoubtedly, this attitude pleased the dwarves.

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and after a few small talks, Romon learned of the other party's request: "Oh...... They want to trade with our territory and establish a stronghold!" "Yes, we want to get a lot of food, and of course, we will provide high-quality ore and weapons.

It's not that dwarves are very direct, it's that dwarves have been underground for a long time, so they naturally don't know how to detour as well as on the ground, Butran said.

Romon groaned, not immediately agreeing, he asked, "Did you come from the underground passage?" "Yes, from the underground passage, and met some demons...... These abominable fellows!" said Buttlan indignantly. After asking a few more questions, Romon learned that it was from the crack in the mine where the demon poured out last time. "And the demons?" Romon was shocked by this, he originally thought that after the demon disaster, the demons had retreated into the abyss. "Yes, a base, and some traces of demons. ”

"Well, I know, by the way, according to the Great 6 Convention, the area five hundred meters deep below the territory still belongs to the ground lord, and it is unacceptable for you to establish a stronghold in such a close area. Luo Meng said this first, the territorial issue, there can be no sloppiness.

The dwarf Buttlan seemed to be puzzled: "Lord Count, if we are to trade, we must establish a stronghold...... Could it be that the Lord is not willing to trade with our Dwarven Kingdom?"

"Trade is one thing, strongholds are another. Luo Meng hurriedly shook his head, he still remembered that the cave occupied by the demon was a living cave, which could grow a large amount of fungus wheat. Such a place cannot be easily given up.

"Lord Earl, if the Great 6 Convention has this word, then we can only abide by it, but I still say this, if you want to trade, you must report that you have a stronghold, and secondly, if you don't allow us to establish a stronghold, then the demon is stained, and we dwarven warriors can't spend our dwarven warriors to clear it. "Sweep away the demon's business, this is naturally up to us, so let's put forward two plans, you see how it goes." "Speak, Lord Count. ”

"First, I can't let a large number of dwarves come to the surface without the approval of the kingdom, but the communication between the two of us is right, so that we can trust each other and build credibility.

Seeing the dwarf nodding, Romon continued: "I heard that you have a lot of craftsmen, I can allow you to set up a weapon shop in my city first, and set aside an area in the outer city!" "Thank you, Lord Earl. "This is also the need of the dwarves, who have been closed for countless years, and the dwarves urgently need to open the channels of communication with the humans and obtain information. "But then again, since you are in the city, you must obey our laws. Romon said with a slight sense of relief. "It is all right to obey the law, but we dwarves will not do anything that violates the teachings of the god Pupae. "Of course. ”

"Secondly, we will quickly establish a second-tier pole in the mining area, where trade can take place, and demons will be cleared by us, and in that area, dwarves can settle and set up shops freely, but they also need to obey our laws...... The management can be represented by a dwarf. ”...... Yes, but in the underground mines, we must be allowed to build a temple of the god Phutai. "Yes, that's okay too. "Since we have basically reached a consensus on the first two points, then we can provide a batch of grain first. Romon said. "How much can you offer?" "Let's provide 1ooo tons first, and we'll see the rest later." Luo Meng said, in fact, in Shennong Point, there are already 2ooo tons of grain. "Thank you, my lord!" the dwarf representative was still quite satisfied with this number, after all, it was not the only messenger, it was a team, and it was already good to have this result. This condition is still very suitable

After the god Putai was crowned, the scattered dwarven tribes heard the news and migrated one after another, which put a lot of pressure on the nascent kingdom of Izfa. Although this is also a good thing, the kingdom has established administrative regions and established rules over this, but the pressure on food is great.

Now that autumn has arrived, winter is coming, and in order to build a new dwarven kingdom to survive the winter, Dwarven Buttlan has not much choice. After a little bargaining, he signed a five-year contract with Romón.

After learning that the dwarves had not yet eaten lunch, after signing the contract, the dwarves were invited to the large dining hall in the town hall, where the dwarves were surprised and shocked to see the smooth floor and the marble stone table. At this time, food was brought in. "Potatoes and meat!" "Fried eggs!"

Then there was a glass of beer and chunks of steaming fresh bread, which were very common food in the town hall, but in the eyes of the dwarves they were very satisfying.

Buttlan grunted and expressed satisfaction, and he enjoyed it contentedly, the only thing to his regret was that the wine was so light for the dwarves that it barely tasted good. And at this point, Nick is talking to Romon. "My lord, although we have some surplus food, it is not too much!

In a city of 30,000 people, the daily consumption of food is really terrifying, and Tetasho receives a good harvest every year, but it is only slightly rich. If dwarven food is sold on a large scale, there may be a shortage of food.

"Nick, don't worry, I'll take care of the food. Romon didn't even have to make any excuses at this time, and said, "I won't use the finances of the city hall and the food reserves." ”“...... Understood, what am I going to do?" "In the outer city, give the dwarves a piece of land, the land can be free, but they should build their own houses, and there should be no preferential taxes for them." "Got it. Nick said. "Then there's the mine, I'm going to overhaul it and turn it into a trading area and a residential area for human merchants, as well as a warehouse area, which can also be built. ”

"As for the area below the cracks in the mining area, I heard that there are still some demons and monsters there, so you don't care about it for now, wait for me to sweep it and build it, where the sovereignty of the area is ours, but the main settlement may be the dwarves. "I was instructed one by one.

Nick nodded, recorded it, he thought about it, and said: "If the mining area is to be completely renovated, it is necessary to consider ventilation, water use, and garbage disposal, and if it is to be completely renovated, according to my experience, it is estimated that tens of thousands of gold coins will be indispensable." "10,000 gold coins is 100,000, maybe the mining area will prosper in the future!" Rosso smiled and said, "By the way, has the fourth phase of the city's project been completed?"

"According to your plan, the first phase of the project is the inner city, the second phase is the outer city, the third phase is the completion of all kinds of houses, roads, warehouses and workshops, and the fourth phase is greenery and waterways.

"Now the city's greenery is basically maintained at about 40% of all the land, almost all the buildings are surrounded by green trees and climbing vines, and regional gardens are established, although it is not long now, but as long as you wait a few years, the whole city will look more like a series of gardens or glades, because of this garden-like urban planning, the air here is even permeated with the fragrance of the forest. ”

"Of course, the city's series of reservoirs, pumps, and plumbing systems ensure that the city has a good sewer system, as well as fresh water for drinking and irrigation, and that is already being done by mages, scholars, and druids, and is expected to be completed by this winter. ”

“...... Your Excellency, you don't have any other five-phase projects, right?" Nick couldn't help but say, "These four-phase projects, although the construction of Yuanfan Port is almost close to the royal capital, and in some respects it is still excellent, but the consumption is also very great.

The 200,000 gold coins have been spent in vain.

"Nick, you're worried about money again, the fifth phase is there-, but at least not now, starting next year, there will be no major projects at the city hall...... By the way, it is necessary to plant a new batch of plants to earn money on the islands and territories, but this is not a big project. "I heard that there are three kinds of golden lychees, cangxue fruits, and gold-leaf pears?" asked Nick with great interest. "Yes, these are the three kinds, and they will be another source of wealth for the territory in the future. Luo Meng said with a smile: "The finances will get better and better in the future...... Don't worry too much. "As long as you don't do any big work, you don't have to worry. Nick said in a bit of a bad voice, "By the way, Romon, are you really going down to investigate the demons?"

"I'm going, but don't worry, these demons can't threaten me. Rosso smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said.
