In the room, Bill was standing in front of Surin, reporting on the recent breakout income.

"Your Majesty, during this time, a total of 250,000 gold coins were collected in taxes, and a total of 3 million gold coins were sold for various materials such as coal, and combined with what you brought back this time, there are now a total of 14 million gold coins. ”

Hearing this figure, Surin also breathed a sigh of relief, at least there is no problem with the finances for the time being, and when the Sauron Conference is held, it will definitely attract many people to come here, and at that time, it will be able to bring a lot of income by tourism.

After the report, Bill remembered one more thing, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the previous weapons merchant Mick came and said that he wanted to see you. ”

"I see, you call him in!"

Soon Mick quickly trotted in, and said to Su Lin with a smile: "Your Majesty, I didn't pay what you entrusted, and brought tens of thousands of catties of fine iron. ”

Hearing this, Su Lin also quickly stood up, came to the warehouse with him, and saw Tim and the others carrying boxes into the warehouse, and the boxes were filled with pieces of fine iron.

Tim walked over to Surin and said, "Your Majesty, with this batch of iron, we will be able to craft the weapons of the army. ”

Surin nodded and let them continue their work, while calling Mick aside and saying, "Okay, how much is it this time." ”

"It's a total of 400,000 gold coins. Mick replied with a smile.

"I'll give you 410,000 yuan, which is considered a reward for you, and you can continue to transport the iron over in the future, and the price will definitely not be disadvantageous to you. ”

"Understood, Your Majesty. ”

Then Surin began to wander the streets again, and the city has developed rapidly in recent months, so the houses have been largely renovated, and the roads are also paved with stone slabs, and the dirt roads are the same as before.

The streets are full of people, and as far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of shops on the roadside, and now each factory in the city has expanded to about 10,000 people, and now it is a real city.

Filton was originally just a farmer, but after making a lot of money selling grain, he hired a group of people to farm the land, and he opened a clothing store in the city, and the business was also very good, and he had to go to the cloth tannery every day to buy goods.

At this time, a cargo ship was about to dock in the port of Nadessi, and it was mostly filled with workers returning from Victor, who had returned from almost a few months of leave to pick up their families.

Alan was also one of them, he worked as a carpenter for half a year, he also earned a few gold coins, and while he went home to see his relatives, he also took them to prepare to go to Loggo.

After getting off the boat, Alan immediately went to his home in the West Side, which was full of poor people and his family was doing the lowest jobs every day.

When I arrived, it was already evening, and when I entered the house, I saw my parents and sisters munching on a piece of black bread, and then there was only a bowl of water, and I took a sip and drank it.

After seeing Alan come back, they also quickly stood up, looking at the neatly dressed person in front of them, they almost couldn't recognize it as their son.

"Son, why did you come back, I thought I died in the sea with you to feed the fish. ”

"Big brother, you are simply a person, and what are you taking, so fragrant. ”

Hearing this, Alan immediately put the big bag he was carrying on the table, took it out and said, "Father, mother, this is the clothes I bought for you, and a pot of fine wine, this is something I can't buy, or my reward, sister, this is the clothes I brought you, you can wear it and try it." ”

Seeing that the table was already full, the three of them were also dazzled, they didn't expect their son to go out so well.

Immediately afterwards, Alan took out a bulging money bag and opened it in front of them, and they immediately let out an exclamation, only to see that there was a pile of gold coins in the money bag, more than a hundred of them.

"Son, how can you have so much money?" the two old men asked in unison.

"Of course I earned it, and His Majesty rewarded me personally, so let's leave here tomorrow and go with me to Loggo, where I have already bought a house. ”

"But we haven't packed these things yet."

"These things aren't worth much, just throw them here. ”

Early the next morning, Alan was preparing to head to the docks with his parents and several sisters.

After going out, I saw that many people were also walking towards the pier with their families, and some of them were colleagues, and after saying hello, they laughed and chatted.

When they arrived at the docks, there were many ships moored on the shore, which said to go to Victor, which were originally just cargo ships, but later found that there were more people going to Loggo, so they changed to passenger ships, and made more money than later.

Alan took his family and waited for a more luxurious passenger ship, and his parents hurriedly asked, "Son, it must be very expensive to take this ship, right?"

"It's not expensive at all, it's free, and at this time, the welfare of our craftsmen, as long as they are craftsmen, they can make boats for free, and they are paid for by the king. ”

Immediately after they got on the boat, they were ushered into the cabin, and then they were served with drinks and typical drinks, all with such a good service.

In addition to doing business in Hotto, Jeff has now spread his business to another country, and his value and status are also different from those in the past.

On this day, when he discussed with some people in the Chamber of Commerce about the follow-up development, he received a summons from Prince Kaili, and he also got up again and went to the palace.

When he arrived, Carey directly stated the purpose of calling him: "Now you go and inform all the merchants that there are no goods of Lorgo in the country of Hoto, and that you are not allowed to do business with them. ”

"Your Highness, why is that? doing business is good for both sides. Jeff asked, puzzled.

"Benefits? We've gotten all our money to Loggo's people, and we don't have any benefits. Carey sneered frequently.

"But Your Highness, our people can also transport the goods."

Before he could finish speaking, Carey left and stretched out his hand to interrupt: "You don't have to say it anymore, I have already decided, after these goods of Logo arrived here, how much impact it will have on our local industry, this matter is like this, you can retreat!"

Jeff didn't say anything more when he heard this and turned away, he didn't believe a word about Kai's words, there must be some political conspiracy in it.

When he returned, he summoned all the merchants and announced Carey's orders, which everyone did not understand, and some even cursed.

Seeing this, Jerif also waved his hand to silence everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Don't quarrel yet, let's observe for a few days." ”

Soon after, a notice was posted at the gates announcing that no products of Logor could be sold in the city, in order to protect the local industry and to prohibit merchants from doing business in Loggo.

Everyone was shocked when this notice came out, especially some merchants, who went to Loggo to buy a batch of goods, and now they can't sell them.

In order to deter these merchants, Carey also confiscated the goods of several merchants and destroyed their goods in public, causing some people to shout with joy.

In the area controlled by the Carey family, there is no market for Loggo's goods, at least on the surface.

Coal, for example, had been a business for the timber and charcoal merchants since the advent of coal, and were now very happy to see that the city could no longer sell any of Hoto's goods.

And those citizens don't have any special opinions on this, it's a big deal, don't use it, and I believe that life is no different.

Carey's move also made many businessmen lose their money, and they have found Jereve to discuss what to do.

"President, you must come up with a solution for us. ”

"yes, I can't stay here now, so let's go. ”

In the face of everyone's complaints, Jerev also sighed, and then said in a deep voice: "I can't stay here anymore, so I'm going to go to Muga to do business, but it's just a different place, what do you think?"

After hearing this, everyone nodded after a moment's silence, compared to the business in the city, the profit of buying goods from Logor to do business is much higher.

In the ensuing period, the city's merchants were selling their properties and then leaving.

After these merchants left, the shops in the city were also greatly reduced, and for a while, everyone found that many things could not be bought, even the most basic grains, oil and salt, were affected, and the price rose a lot.

When Carey learns that Jeff has left with everyone in the Chamber of Commerce, he is also furious, and in the face of the chaos in the city, he has to find other merchants to cooperate.

When the coal disappeared from the city of Hoto, the people used wood and charcoal again, and they were either choked by the smoke or troubled, and everyone could not help but miss the coal.

Fortunately, these were only minor problems, and soon prices in the city recovered, but some problems popped up again.

It was good for the nobles in the city to eat sugar once a year, and since they had cane sugar, they can eat sugar almost every day.

But now that the cane sugar has disappeared again, many nobles are very nostalgic, so they quietly send people to the black market to buy it, not to mention the high price, if they are caught, they will be severely punished.

However, there are people who can make money in business, and now there is a group of people who specially bring some of Logo's supplies into the city secretly, and if they sell it and get rich overnight, it will not be a problem.

After Carey learned about this, he sent people to search for these people, and invested a lot of manpower and material resources.

What Carey didn't know was that although he did this to reduce Lotgo's sales, it made Hotto lose the opportunity to develop externally, and now many big businessmen don't go to Hotto to do business at all, which Carey couldn't have expected.
