"After the relays of Prince Desoud, we find that we still lack sufficient knowledge of the property situation in your domain, and I wonder if you can tell us more about it?" said Secretary of Commerce Carter at another meeting the next day.

"No problem. Mike nodded, and took out the information that had been prepared a long time ago, "At present, everyone should know more about the situation in Sanzang Town under my direct jurisdiction, it can be said that it is just starting, from farm tools, clothing, potions to promote biological development to ordnance, soldiers, professionals, etc., it seems that there will not be too many things that can be provided in two or three years." Important ones that you may not know are ArcelorMittal Steelworks, the Dark Elf city of Faturi, and the Leadhorn Dragon Palace. ”

"ArcelorMittal is a metal processing base jointly established by the teacher and me, with a monthly production capacity of 1,000 sets of decks or 5,000 sword embryos, which can produce semi-finished products such as shovels, hoes, sickles and other daily necessities and farm tools at the same time. In addition, the steel mill is currently cooperating with Sanzang Town to mass-produce small steel products such as steel needles, fish hooks, knives and other small steel products for sale. ”

"In terms of production, especially in terms of deck production, I wonder if there is room for improvement? Also, can we produce steel arm shields and axe-gun type halberd heads?" asked Secretary of Commerce Carter.

"If needed, we have the ability to quadruple our current capacity in a short period of time, specifically within two months, and at least a year to prepare if we want to further increase. We also have the ability to switch to the production of arm shields and halberd heads in a short period of time, and the yield is expected to be not much different from that of sword embryos. "In fact, the so-called conversion of production is to get a forging mold with a suitable shape, which is very fast, and to increase the production capacity to four times, it only needs to increase the equipment and coolies of the magic circle, which is also very fast. It's just that they can't say it directly, even if it's Yin Soul City, it still makes them think that it's better for them to control a dwarven city.

The three participants in the Yin Soul City all looked as usual and were shocked in their hearts, with a monthly output of four thousand decks, this output was already comparable to that of a medium-sized kingdom, and it could be reached in two months, and there was still room for improvement in the future. In this way, they have a lot more resources in their hands than they imagined.

"The Dark Elf City of Faturi is my friendly partner, it is a mining city, with 10,000 slaves of the Dark Elves, which can influence about three times the number of Dark Elves and twice as many slaves in the surrounding area, and can carry out dumping trade with other Dark Elf cities. We are promoting the transformation of its industrial structure through economic and trade means, which can directly affect nearly 20 percent of the population at present, and it is expected that it will expand to 3 to 50 percent in one year. Faturi has the ability to be a partner of ArcelorMittal Steelworks, but we prefer to make it a partner in Sanzang Town and Leadfeng Dragon Palace, providing glass, carvings, luxury goods, and all kinds of low-to-mid-grade magical items, and processing red crystals into standard magic crystals. In addition to the goods that can be obtained from Sanzang Town or the Lead Peak Dragon Palace, they also expect to be able to obtain all kinds of high-end magic items. ”

"Does it mean that there is any other choice than to give birth to you and raise your hometown of Yin Soul City, young people now......

"Leadfeng Dragon Palace is a mining city with thousands of dwarves and nearly 10,000 kobolds, capable of producing a considerable amount of red crystals. In addition to the goods that can be obtained from Sanzang Town or Faturi, they also expect to be able to obtain a variety of high-end magic items. ”

"In addition, we are trying to build a trusting cooperation with the cities of Moonsea, especially Melwater, in the hope of getting the grain, livestock, liquor, etc., that slaves, ships, and faturi need. ”

"Well, we have a general understanding of the situation, and to be honest, it has exceeded our expectations again. Secretary of Commerce Carter nodded. If what he said is true, he is indeed qualified to cooperate with Ghost City on an equal footing in terms of commerce. "As your hometown, you should already know a lot about the Ghost City, but the reason for your position may not be very clear about the property and trade. Traditionally, our main products have been spices, glass, ingots, refined tools and armour, so ArcelorMittal had no problem with the steel and subsequent processing it requires. What's more, apart from Yin Soul City, it may be difficult to find forces that are strong enough to digest these production capacities. ”

"For our close partners, we can also provide a variety of high-end magical equipment. The head of the Alchemy Academy, the Grand Arcanist, and the Prince of the Shadows, Martik, spoke.

"Plus a variety of alchemical products. Another dean of the Alchemy Academy, the Grand Arcanist, the Yin Prince Vatik added.

"The strength of Yin Soul City is naturally undoubted, but there is one thing that makes me doubt, how to solve the transportation problem?" "Interdimensional transportation, even the easiest to reach the shadow plane, is many times more difficult than going from the surface to the underground.

"Don't worry about that, just ship to our trade point in Askatra. "After all, most of them are not used by the Yin Soul City itself - I think you know, with 25,000 inhabitants and 10,000 slaves, it is impossible for the Yin Soul City to have such a huge need for armaments. As for why Askatra, the top metropolis of Faerun, a free and open port with convenient transportation, and the Hooded Wizard Society, which thinks they are in control but has no awareness of the Shadow Demon Network, is there a more ideal place than it?" ”

"That's very good. If you can use mature channels, you can save a lot of effort and greatly shorten the time.

"If a trade balance can be reached, the price can be based on the prevailing price in Askatra. Of course, the semi-finished products have not formed a market at present, considering that the degree of processing has been very high, under the premise that we provide steel, we think that 5% off is more appropriate, that is, 7,500 gold coins for a thousand sword embryos, 30,000 for a single front cuirass and 10,000 for a full set of decks. The arm shield and halberd head, if of comparable mass, are 7500 and 5000 thousand, respectively. "This is a decision that has been discussed and approved, and it is worth investing in for one's own people, and it should not be too oppressive but not too generous, and it is most appropriate to make a relatively fair deal.

"That's very good. "Mike's face remains unchanged and his heart is happy, you otherworldly turtles, even if you have practiced the magic power of dismantling Gundam empty-handed, but your short knowledge is short of knowledge, and you can't estimate the power of industrial mass production at all. "I need a lot of things, but if the two conditions of easy transportation and high value are restricted, the only thing I can think of at the moment is high-end magic equipment and labor services such as security, training, and technical support. ”

"Technical support? We can send a team of level 3 to 5 warriors, spellcasters, and professionals, according to the standard of Askatra, with a mercenary fee of 2 gold coins per level per week, and a 100 times the weekly salary of the bereavement of the dead. High-level magical equipment and high-end talent are counted separately. Secretary Carter offered his own price, "Of course, given the difference between the short term and the long term, we can put a 7% discount on the total price." ”

"That's reasonable......" Mike nodded. Although it is a little expensive, it is too cheap to use the discount of goods, and you can exchange the work of about 2,500 talents for a hundred or so things made by yourself, which is extremely cost-effective.

Carter, Secretary of Commerce, and the two Shadow Princes remained unchanged with their faces unchanging, and their hearts were happy. The so-called level 3 to 5 warriors, spellcasters, and professionals are the average quality of the residents of Yin Soul City, and the city is already planning to send twenty percent of the residents to the main plane to prepare for the return, and now Mr. Owo's disciples are willing to pay the price of pure combatants to the battlefield just to let the dispatch team change places to engage in construction, which is simply too cost-effective.

......

As a result, with a huge difference in the two sides' grasp of resources and understanding of value, it was easy to reach a trade agreement that was very satisfactory to both sides.

Mike needs to provide semi-finished metal products for use in the Netherworld, and the number gradually increases to 1,000 per month for a single front breastplate, 1,000 for the longsword blade, 1,000 for the greatsword blade, and 1,000 axe-type halberdheads, as well as 250 sets of full decks, 500 for arm shields, and 500 short sword blades each for the dagger blade. The total weight is converted, less than half a ton per day, for Mike, as long as the production is appropriately expanded, it can be easily achieved, and there are many wealthy to process agricultural tools and daily necessities rough embryos for profit.

The city of the Shadow needs to provide human resources for Mike to deploy, and the number is gradually increased to 500 people at level 3, 5 people at level 4, 1000 people at level 4, and a total of 100 people from level 6 to 10, of which 1/3 are spellcasters who have mastered at least level 1 spells, and 500 people are professional warriors, and there are also high-level spellcasters 5 level 5 arcane 10 people and 5 magic people. On the whole, the talent and age structure of the high-level and below are the same as those of the Yin Soul City, and the number is equal to 1/8 of the adult population, for the Yin Soul City, a labor group or pioneer group of this size is ready to build a total of 3, with a total number of around 5,000, and the three great arcanists who have lived in the main plane for a long time, such as Ovo, Lawalker and Saharel, are invited to take care of them and make some preliminary preparations for the return of the main plane of the Yin Soul City. Although it will inevitably lead to a change in the ownership of the territory that has been carved out, it doesn't really matter much to the upper echelons of Netherworld City, and it is not worth mentioning compared to the mass production of ordnance.

In addition, the two sides also decided to establish a general iron joint company to produce steel agricultural tools and daily necessities for external sales with the aim of making a profit.

After returning home, Mike excitedly locked the door of his house and opened the map, preparing to carefully select a suitable place to explore - this force was too strong and comprehensive to be placed in Sanzang Town, lest it cause xenophobia and isolate. What's more, with it as the core, it is easy to establish a prosperous pure human territory in many places, and it is completely impossible to go to that multi-racial and multi-property Sanzang town to stir up.

The Dyer Hall is too small. Although the cold weather with many spellcasters is not a problem, it is still too difficult to develop agriculture, and it is located in Vasa, which is surrounded by galena mountains and large glaciers, and the transportation is quite inconvenient, which makes it difficult to further develop and grow.

Hubert can consider. There are convenient transportation and abundant water, and 200,000 people should be able to develop well, and there are both the previous cities as the foundation, the initial construction is small, and there are ready-made evil creatures to capture and enslave. What is more worrying is that, first, it is inevitable that there will be a need for street fighting, and some damage is inevitable, in case of too much damage in the Yin Soul City, it is difficult to account for it; second, it is similar to Sanzang Town, which may lead to xenophobia and isolation. What's more, Hubert and Sanzang Town are located on the north shore of the Moon Sea and are close to each other, and although the transportation is very convenient, it is not conducive to the two corners of the brother's dress, so it is not a particularly good choice.

The Pirate Islands can be considered. In the middle of the Falling Star Sea, the transportation is convenient and has great potential, and it will not cause controversy if there is no one to lead troops to occupy it at present. It's just that if these people are a little less, it will be difficult to carry out follow-up work if the pirates retaliate for the attack.

Or look further afield, like the West Coast, near Ascatla, where Kenar has always wanted to go, and while it's certainly not possible to go straight there, there are plenty of places to choose from.

Tesser: Good. There was a lot of civil strife, and it was easy to turn on a high lord to carve it out on his own, and it was also easy to attract war outcasts or import slaves from Karinshan. It's just that he will be dragged to fight from above from time to time, my brother is so busy and the population is so precious, how can he do that every day.

The meandering estuary on the edge of the Troll Mountains is nice. The geographical location is superior, the natural environment is good, no matter how you think about it, there is hope to develop into another Baldur's Gate, and the delay in development is mainly because of the teacher's friend in the Northern Troll Mountains, the Grand Arcanist Lavok, if you can manage to make sense......

Or go to the Lunaris Islands in the western part of Sword Bay. There are three large islands of tens of thousands of square kilometers, and there are four more thousands of square kilometers, and the sea transportation is convenient and the land is acceptable, and it is an England if it is developed. What's more, there has never been a unified kingdom there, and there have been constant ethnic conflicts, religious disputes, and wars have continued until the death of the evil god Baal in the turbulent years, and the current Kendik dynasty has not even fully unified the three large islands, let alone the four small islands. For the brother who is just about to start, the few thousand square kilometers of the island are enough, and it is a good choice for both snow and Morey.

Well, it's decided, it's the Moonshadow Islands! Arthur's identity can't go to Ascatra to brush up his reputation, go directly to the Tyre Church to recognize the identity of the dragon slayer, and then use this prestige to recruit immigrants to go to the Moonshadow Islands to reclaim the wasteland, it is best to meet the Supreme King of Kendik, see if you can ask a viscount to do it, or actually occupy the island first, and then decide whether to join the Candik Kingdom or insist on independence or even reverse annexation depending on the situation.

The plan has been decided, and the omnipotent traverser puts away the map, prepares to return to the main plane, and immediately goes to Falling Snow Island to investigate. But before that, I have to find a way to push off the special training in Yin Soul City, my brother is so busy with millions of people a minute, how can he have the leisure to do this.

However, the reaction of the Netherworld City was a bit strange, obviously sending the Minister of Commerce and the two princes, but it turned out to be said without bargaining at all. Hmm, if you think about it, it's strange that they sent so many people to me, how can it be a hundred or two hundred years since the last time they sent people to the main plane on such a large scale, I think about it, well, it's been almost a thousand years......

"Teacher, teacher. ”

"What's the matter, there is progress in trade negotiations with Netherworld?"

"It's going well, it's over. I've found out a few things though, and I'm going to report back to you. ”

"Oh?"

"There's a bit of a strange reaction from the Netherworld, and I wonder if they're going to make some big moves in the next few years, such as returning to the main plane. ”

"Oh?" The Great Arcanist was really a little surprised at this time, this kind of important matter must be kept absolutely secret, and even he himself may not be notified, let alone the so-called personal disciples.

"As you know, one of the purposes of my visit this time is to see if I can cooperate with them in the mass production of ordnance, farm tools, and steel daily necessities. Originally, according to my prediction, it should be either in the form of joint venture profit sharing, or in the form of cheap procurement, processing and sales, but what I didn't expect was that they were ready to exchange the Ascatra price index for large-scale labor exports. I didn't think much of it at the time, but when I think about it, it was so strange and completely different from how they should have reacted. ”

"You think, in the 1,700 years since the Cataclysm, although the Netherworld City has not given up its efforts to affect the main plane, there have been very few real large-scale migrations, and it has been almost a thousand years since the last one. But this time, they are ready to send 2,000 people to work under me all year round, which is almost 1/10 of the total population. No matter how you think about it, this is essentially a new mass migration. So I wonder if they're going to make a big move in the next few years. ”

"Well, you have a point, I'll have to ask them. However, these things don't have much to do with you so far, so you don't have to worry about it but don't talk nonsense, you can continue to do what you want to do. ”

"Okay teacher, I see. ”

"Also, I think the development of your territory is quite remarkable, and it is a critical moment to attract investment from surrounding cities and establish diplomatic relations with them. ”

"Well, I think so too. ”

"In that case, I'm afraid the people of Yin Soul City will not be easy for you to arrange. It's not as good as this, my immortality has become idle, and I am preparing to build a base to contribute to the reconstruction of color resistance, but it is difficult to cultivate capable and reliable technical talents for a while, and this group of people in Yin Soul City can be solved as an urgent need for me, and after the completion of the great work, your benefits are indispensable. ”

"Ah......h

"That day, you said that the iron ore mine in Vasa Del Hall seemed to be good, and the specific location was shown to me, so that the teacher would teach them how to be a man another day. ”

"Ha ......"

"Don't stay at home all day, have time to take a walk outside and breathe fresh air, it's good for your health, and by the way, mark the tribes around Dale Hall. ”

"Oh......"

"Also, when cooperating with Ghost City, remember to build a batch of mine pickaxe rails by the way, in case of other future construction needs. ”

"Oh......"
