Mario didn't expect Hammer City to be like this. On the vast flat land of the Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info large steel buildings are being planted, and dense laborers are installing bright glass windows for them and painting something like black sesame paste.

Although he didn't quite understand what the role was, as a member of the royal family, he still suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask too much, because that would make him seem very uninformed.

It's just that the housing conditions are really difficult, and the makeshift houses are narrow and simple. Worse still, being so close to where the laborers lived, he felt very uncomfortable.

What made him even more unbelievable was that Renault actually lived in such a simple house. Originally, I thought that as the great lord of the Western Realm, he should at least know how to enjoy it better.

After a brief lunch, Mario, who has a habit of napping, couldn't sleep, and the rumbling sound of the construction site in the distance came through the ground, which made him feel a little headache.

So with red eyes, under the leadership of the Black Iron Army's guards, he came to the edge of Naxi Lake and found Renault who was fishing.

The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and it's away from the noise, which gives people a very comfortable feeling, and if it weren't for the fact that he came to Renault this time to talk about something very important, he really wanted to have the bed moved.

On the wide wooden raft, Renault sat on a comfortable recliner, holding a fishing rod, and also looked lazy.

"Your Highness Mario, do you want to try it?"

"No, I don't know how to fish. ”

Mario sat down next to Renault, and the constant tiredness didn't keep him from having much of an eye for gossip, so he went straight to the point.

"In addition to sending you gold coins this time, there are some important things. ”

"Please. ”

"His Majesty has asked me to ask you, how are you going to govern the western steppe?"

"This ...... Seems like my own business, right?" asked Renault curiously, having never heard of His Majesty caring about how a lord governed his domain.

"Of course, His Majesty is just curious. Mario also seemed to feel that His Majesty was a little more lenient, "It's just that you know, he was very curious when he heard about the Tuke Basin, because no one has ever governed the territory like this, and it seems to be working well now." ”

His Majesty seems to be a little unwarranted curiosity, but I'm afraid it's not really just curiosity.

As the ruler of the Auro Continent, any sentence, a question, or even a light joke may be full of deep meaning, this is the emperor's mental skill, and it is a quality that a ruler must have.

What's more, this time he asked Mario very solemnly, what kind of answer did he want?

"Actually, it's very simple," he couldn't think of an answer for the time being, so Renault stopped thinking about it, anyway, he already had a certain idea in his mind about how to manage the grassland, and he wouldn't change it for other reasons, "The grassland needs to be transformed, and there is no need for so many places to herd cattle and sheep, I will grow grain and fruit trees in half of the area." ”

"Half, isn't it too much?"

Mario's concern was justified, as the Westside Savannah supplied almost two-thirds of the cattle and sheep of the entire continent of Oro. If this amount is drastically reduced, I am afraid that it will become a little difficult to eat beef and sheep's heads in the future.

Renault knew what he was thinking, smiled and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, although the area is smaller, the output of cattle and sheep will only be more." And the remaining half of the place, as well as the Tuke Basin, I will vigorously develop the breeding industry, I think it won't be long before the civilians of the entire Oro continent can eat pork every day. ”

It turned out that he was going to raise pigs, and Mario's heart relaxed a little. Although he doesn't like to eat pork, pork is cheap and is indeed the first choice of ordinary people.

If this is really the case as Renault described, then His Majesty's worries should be unnecessary.

So he stopped talking about it and moved on to a second topic: "His Majesty wants to buy weapons from Black Iron Town." ”

Renault had long expected this, and the younger brother of the dignified king, who had come all the way here, of course, did not come specifically to ask him how much pork cost a pound.

"I've already said it, no. ”

"No, forget it. ”

Mario gave up instantly, and although His Majesty had asked him to fight for it, he was not interested in weapons or anything at all, and he didn't feel the need.

The Silver Armor Army in the hands of the royal family is a very powerful combat force, and he believes that no one can shake the dominance of the royal family under their protection. Not in the temple, not in Renault.

In the face of his crisp and decisive decision, Renault was also quite stunned, thinking that he would have to entangle.

"But then you can't refuse me. ”

It turns out that this guy is retreating as advancing, and he doesn't even give up the weapon and doesn't buy it, it seems that the next thing must be not small. So Renaud smiled and waited quietly for him to open his mouth.

Unexpectedly, Mario said eagerly: "I want to buy a few tractors, buy them personally, you can't refuse me." ”

"This ......"

Tractors are not like weapons, and low-power diesel engines, Renault can use mobile phone apps to manufacture, the number of various powers is capped at five thousand, adding up to his ability to build close to fifty thousand small tractors. The point is that without diesel, the tractor is just a pile of scrap metal, so there is no need to worry about someone copying it, and it will not pose a threat to him.

So if Mario wants to buy it, it's not a difficult thing.

He had also planned to supply the entire continent in small quantities after satisfying the needs of his own territory.

It's just that he didn't expect that Mario, this guy, didn't pay attention to the big matter of the royal family's purchase of weapons at all, but took this as a concession to fight for a greater possibility that he could buy a tractor. If he is really a businessman, he is careful in all his calculations, and the king has such a brother, and I don't know if he should feel sad.

"Yes, yes, but I want to know, what do you buy a tractor for?"

"Shipping, of course, you know I have a lot of business. Mario thought for a moment and continued, "Of course, if you can make me a comfortable and luxurious one, I definitely don't want to make a carriage again." ”

"Okay, but price-wise, I think you know, it's not easy to build. ”

Renault means that it's expensive.

"And in order for the tractor to run, diesel fuel must be consumed, which is also very valuable. ”

When it comes to cost, Mario is very inertial and steady. But no matter how he calculated, it was much more cost-effective to transport goods by tractor than by horse-drawn cart.

It's just that Renault asked him for 200,000 gold coins, which really made him feel a little painful.

"150,000, I'll buy ten. ”

"180,000, the luxury type will not give you a price increase. ”

Mario bit his lip fiercely, and finally made up his mind: "Deal!"

Ten tractors, excluding diesel engines, cost only 10,000 gold coins, and they were sold for 1.8 million yuan, which is really cost-effective.

And Mario's heart was like a knife cut a few times, and he kept dripping blood, but he didn't expect Renault to continue: "The driver's training fee is 10,000 gold coins per person." ”

Poof――

Mario took a big sip of water and coughed violently, his fat face flushed, and glared at Renault viciously.

"Hehe, kidding you. (To be continued.) )
