1202. Merchant

Surdak looked at the owner of the Thunder Rhino Trading House, patted him on the shoulder and walked down the city wall with him, saying as he went:

"After nearly a year of renovation of the old city of Mukuso, the buildings in the inner city have basically been restored to the original, this batch of wood is ready to enter the market of Mukuso, there will be some citizens who want to add some furniture, a lot of furniture is needed because of the layout of the house and the needs of the hostess, after the house is built, it will be tailor-made, so I will write to you to transport a batch of good wood."

"There is no shortage of good carpenters in Mukuso City now......"

"This batch of timber fills the market in Mukuso City, and it is estimated that Mukuso City will not need wood in the near future, so you can completely bring some other things over."

Ruyt's walls are also a bit mottled, and the traces of the great war two years ago are still ......

Malacombe said: "There are many pastures in the White Forest Plane, and cattle and sheep are a specialty of Wilkes......

Surdak glanced at him and said casually: "Last year, I drove 200,000 yellow sheep and 20,000 cattle from Bailin, do you think there will be a shortage of beef and mutton to eat in Mukusuo City?" ”

Malacombe thought for a moment before he said:

"Uh...... The southern part of the White Forest Plane is rich in some tree fruits, and I will go back this time to collect some special products and try to transport them all here. ”

Surdak pointed to his forehead and said to Malacom:

"Malacombe, it's time for you to change your mind here."

"A lot of things can be profitable as long as they are shipped from Wilkes to Bena City, so why do they have to be shipped from Bailin to Ganbu?"

"Wait until those goods are successfully sold from Bena City, and then buy some goods from Bena City and bring them here, after all, some things are still very cheap in Bena City."

Surdak continued: "The city of Mukuso is now in the process of expanding its urban area, and there is a huge demand for all the materials used in the infrastructure, and in addition to the large quantities of wood, other goods such as bronze lamps, ironware, ceramics, and lacquerware should be in demand. ”

"Actually, the portal pass in your hand is a treasure in itself. You can bring in other comptoir owners and let them run projects you don't want to touch, and you can also charge them a customs clearance fee and a shipping fee. Surdak and Malacombe said as they walked.

"I see!" The merchant Malacombe understood Surdak's thoughts, and he heard a lot of information about the city of Mukuso along the way.

At this time, Malacomb finally had some thoughts, and he took the initiative to say to Surdak, "My lord, I want to go to Mukuso City to have a look......"

Surdak took the jug out of his magic fanny pack and took a sip of water.

Speaking of dry mouth, it was Malacom's heart that gave him the idea of visiting Mukuso City......

I didn't expect it to be so difficult to attract investment!

Malacombe was also anxious, and after walking down the city wall, he immediately rushed directly to the central square with his two deputies to the portal that led to Mukuso City.

……

When Surdak returned to the town hall in the magic caravan, he deliberately made a circle around the steelworks.

Hamlin and the craftsmen of the steel workshop moved quickly, and at this moment they had begun to dismantle the fourth steel furnace, since the first and second steel furnaces had been transported out of Ruyt, and a large part of the steel factory wall had been torn down, and the area where the furnace was dismantled was vacated.

According to Surdak's request, the land vacated by the relocation of furnaces No. 1 and No. 2 has been completely separated from the steel mill.

There are only a few stone foundations left in the area, which are being demolished.

Surdak stepped out of the carriage of the magic caravan, and Thea quickly followed Surdak with half of the parchment booklet, and the two stepped on the ruins and stones in the empty field to climb the highest stone platform.

Hamlin also didn't know where he heard that Surdak had rushed to the steel factory, and immediately took several supervisors in the steel factory to rush to this ruined site.

The directors of the steelworks were unusually promoted by Hamlin from among the commoners, and when they saw a great nobleman like Surdak standing on a stone platform, his waist bent almost at the level of the ground, he did not dare to raise his head no matter what.

Standing on a high platform, Surdak pointed to the steel furnaces that had not been completely dismantled, and questioned Hamlin:

"Hamlin, how long will it take for you to completely demolish here, and will you and the craftsmen be able to leave for the White Forest Plane at the end of this month?"

As the director of this relocation project, Hamlin has lost a lot of weight than half a month ago, and the whole person looks as if there is a layer of skin wrapped in bones, but he is very energetic, and his eyes are still very bright.

I was on the construction site all day, and my skin was tanned.

"My lord, time is too short, please give me another month, I can tear this place down to a single screw......" Hamlin said to Surdak.

Without hesitation, Surdak shook his head in rejection, and then said:

"Then give you another twenty days, it can't be any more, twenty days later, you immediately take these craftsmen to Bena City in a magic airship, and then enter the White Forest Plane through the portal of Bena City, in the middle of next month, I hope to see you and these craftsmen standing on the construction site in the north of the Dodan Gorge, directing the aborigines over there to start building the first furnace!"

Hamlin heard that the craftsmen in the workshop here could go to the White Forest Plane and continue to install the furnace, and it seemed that this group of craftsmen would not be unemployed for the time being, so he immediately agreed: "Yes, Lord Suldak. ”

News of Surdak's arrival at the Steelworks soon spread, and some merchants rushed to the side in magic caravans.

During this time, many merchants were inquiring about the use of this piece of land between the workshop area and the slum after the relocation of the steel mill, and many merchants wanted to rent this land, even if it was converted into a warehouse, and now there are not many merchants in the city of Mukuso, after they bring their goods into the city of Ruit, those trucks can only be parked on the street at night.

The inner city of Ruyt is small, and on the slum side, there are several families crammed into the same small building at the same time.

It's hard to find a cheap warehouse in Ruyt, at least in the inner city.

The merchants wanted to buy some of the land here, but the Bureau of Land Management said that the steel mill was the private property of the Suldar Suldak, and that the merchants had to get the consent of the Suldark Archon if they wanted to buy the land here.

They did not dare to enter the empty field of the steel mill, because this was private land, and entering it rashly was an invasion of private territory, and if they were investigated, they would be punished with flogging.

So a group of people could only wait quietly on the side of the street, and when Surdak came out of the empty yard of the steel factory, he found that many people had gathered outside.

At first, Surdak didn't pay much attention to it, he just lowered his head and walked outside, and when he passed by the crowd, these merchants had the courage to ask Surdak in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, is the land here for sale?" ”

"Your Excellency, we want to buy land in Ruit City, is there anything we need our attention for?"

Surdak stopped, looked at the crowd of people crowded in the street, he thought for a moment before saying:

"First of all, I don't approve of you buying their houses from the poor, although selling the house will give a few poor families a share of the money, but at the same time it means that they have become vagrants in the city of Ruyt, which is not what I want to see."

"Rather than buying houses in the slums, I would prefer you to build warehouses outside the city."

"Now Ruit is only so big, and because of its unique location, it is impossible to expand outward, so I still want to be able to accommodate more residents."

"In addition, I have no intention of dividing and selling this land for the time being, and this will not be a warehouse in the future."

"I'm going to build a warehouse area on a lot of land outside Ruyt, and my suggestion is that you might consider choosing a warehouse there."

With that, he nodded gentlemanly to the onlookers around him, then turned and got into a magic caravan on the side of the road.

As Thea boarded the caravan and closed the door, the merchants were obscured from view, and the caravan slowly departed.

Surdak looked out the window, this is the lower part of the city of Ruyt, many of the streets are very narrow, some houses in order to add some rooms, some of the wooden houses in the wall like a pigeon cage, these wooden houses almost always hang on the second or third floor, the wooden roof sticks out of the eaves almost connected to the opposite eaves.

The pedestrians on the street are almost all plainly dressed civilians.

The group of people was in a hurry, and it was obvious that they were struggling to make a living, some women were sitting on the steps of the house, some women were holding children in their arms, and some women were holding wooden basins, picking vegetables and vegetables full of rotten leaves.

It's almost the poorest street market in Ruyt, and Surdak walks through the fringe neighborhoods to get a clear glimpse of the lives of the poor who sit here.

On the streets where sewage flows, you can also see some vendors pushing trolleys and roaming these streets.

Surdak was surprised to see that on a stall selling headband ornaments, there were still strings of Cerberus teeth strung together, and they hung casually on the stall.

That's all there is to it today, and I will try to make up for it tomorrow if I owe it
