Chapter 412: Requisition of ships
Since he came to Savile Town, Xia Duo first went to the town office and inquired about the negotiations with various chambers of commerce, and the results were not very satisfactory.
Whether it is the Tower of Time or the president of the Savile Town Branch, they are actually happy to see the new contract reached, but the general meeting of those chambers of commerce is still hesitating, and it has been dragging on.
Neither explicitly refused, nor directly agreed.
Xia Duo was not very anxious, after all, the princess had already helped Niya contact a chamber of commerce, just waiting for the specific news to come out, presumably this side would agree.
Walking out of the town office, Xia Duo estimated that the people he had just contacted should have arrived, so he rode his summoning mount and ran towards the villa area to the north.
Lady Patti Manor Villa.
Steward Yarman personally waited at the gate of the manor, looking at the intersection from time to time, waiting left and right, but no one came, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, holding his hands, pacing back and forth.
At this moment, Yarman suddenly heard a string of horses' hooves behind him, from far and near, he quickly turned to look, the "da-da" sound of horses' hooves had come to him.
"Ahh ”
"Good."
Xia Duo nodded, disbanded his mount, and walked towards the villa with Steward Yarman, on the way, he asked, "How is the situation of the Lieton Chamber of Commerce lately?" ”
"Thanks to the blessing of the Lord, the Chamber of Commerce has controlled the decline, and the connection with Connefila City has also been restored, and it will definitely be able to better serve the Lord in the future."
Service or something, Xia Duo is noncommittal about this, the merchant's words can be a little sincere, and the left and right are just a transaction, but the connection between the Lieton Chamber of Commerce and the city of Connefila has been restored, which is worth paying attention to.
The core competitiveness of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce, Xia Duo also understands it, in fact, the elves on the side of Connefila City have some connections, similar to the compradors on the earth, and the local chamber of commerce in Savile needs their help if they want to develop Connefila trade.
It's simply a model of an empty glove white wolf.
I don't know what happened before, the connection between the Liaton Chamber of Commerce and the elves was suddenly broken, which made Mrs. Patty have the idea of transformation, but she has never been in business in the past, and if she wants to transform all of a sudden, she will definitely not be able to stop the decline.
And now that I'm hooked up with the elves again, I just don't know what Mrs. Patty thinks now?
After a few more words with Steward Yarman about the situation of the three chambers of commerce of Hans, Sleven, and Shining Gold, the villa had arrived, and Mrs. Patty and the three presidents were at the door to greet them.
"Lady Xiaduo!" *4
"Hmm." Xia Duo nodded in return, "Let's talk inside." ”
"Yes, yes." The three presidents answered at the same time.
With Xia Duo's current status, even if they were asked to stand here and speak, they would not have any opinion.
Coming to the reception room, Xia Duo took the main seat without concession, and then asked everyone to sit down, and said: "In addition to learning about the recruitment of the territory population this time, there is another important matter that needs to be handled by several of your chambers of commerce. ”
"My lord, no matter what it is, the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce will definitely do it for your lordship!" As soon as Xia Duo finished speaking, President Fleck of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce couldn't wait to express his position.
The others followed, only Mrs. Patty was a beat slower, but she also made her support clear.
"I have permission from the Council of Severant to recruit the people directly in Severton, and I need you to help me bring my people back."
A few presidents, you look at me, I look at you, Fleck, who was the first to speak just now, stood up under the "persecution" of several other people, "My lord, we are willing to serve you, but we are not familiar with Severton, I am worried that we will not be able to handle the affairs of adults." ”
"You don't have to worry about that, the recruitment of the people is all done by the Severant Council, you just need to take the documents I signed to get the people."
Speaking of which, Xia Duo also felt more and more that this pioneering movement was too simple, involving the population, and no lord would be willing to release people.
Legally, even the Severynton Council does not have the right to forcibly recruit the population, and can recruit the lords at will, which means that there must be transactions and compromises involving all the lords in the territory.
The princess alone doesn't have such great power, after all, some lords are Grand Arcanists themselves, so why should they give in to the princess who is also a Grand Arcanist?
It can be seen that although the pioneering movement is led by the princess, it must be approved and supported by the vast majority of Grand Arcanists, at least on the surface.
And after listening to Xia Duo's explanation, several of the presidents present were also shocked, this news is really amazing, and it can make the Council of Sevington come forward to recruit the lords for Lord Xia Duo, so this-
"My lord, Fleck is willing to serve you, and the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce will do everything in its power to complete this task!"
Damn, he's preempted again! President Hans of the Hans Chamber of Commerce was very annoyed in his heart, glanced at Yiyan Fleck angrily, and hurriedly expressed his determination, "My lord, although the Hans Chamber of Commerce does not have a merchant ship, I am willing to buy it from Severton on the spot, which must be faster than the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce!" ”
The other two chambers of commerce also agreed.
Mrs. Patti was also willing to buy a merchant ship in Severton, but she did not approve of the purchase of a merchant ship in Severton and then the return of the people.
Of course, he was very satisfied with the attitude of Fleck and Mrs. Patty.
"Thank you for the support of several presidents, but the matter of transporting people is not so urgent, it will take time for the council to recruit manpower, and it is now winter, and there are not so many houses to house them in the Great Xia Collar for the time being, and I plan to do it after the spring of next year. Also, the question of ships—"
Xia Duo paused, in fact, he was also hesitating, whether to use a ship to transport people, to be honest, if you ship it, it will take at least a month to transport it in the most ideal situation, and it may take a few months if something goes wrong, which is really inconvenient.
This is simply unbearable for Xia Duo, who is accustomed to the convenient transportation on Earth, and if he does not use shipping, he can only use magic.
Use [Portal] or [Teleportation Circle], but the former is an 8-ring spell and the latter is a 9-ring spell, even if it is a solidified portal or teleportation circle, it will be damaged every time it is used.
Whether it is to ask a mage to cast a spell, or with the help of the portal and teleportation circle of the Arcane Federation, hundreds of people will be transported down, and the price will be high.
But since it will start to transport people after the spring of next year, Xia Duo is thinking about whether he will already open the door to transport people by then?
Casting spells yourself and asking someone else for help are definitely two different things.
Of course, being sure that you will be able to become an archmage and becoming an archmage before the beginning of spring next year are definitely two different things.
Besides, Xia Duo still has to advance to the Arcanist, he doesn't want to just be an ordinary mage, and the time required to advance, according to his plan, will not be completed in the spring of next year.
Unless he wants to, there is a projection plane waiting for him to enter at any time, allowing him to borrow some time from the future.
However, the uncertainty of this is too high, even if the Tower of Time has searched for three projection planes, he still entered two in time, Xia Duo is not 100% sure, he can still search in the future, and he can still enter in time.
It's just a moment, Xia Duo thought a lot, after all, he couldn't be so radical, it was safer to be prepared with both hands, so he continued:
"As for the ship, I hope to be able to transport at least 500 people on one trip, and if there is not enough ship, I will pay for it."
Steward Yarman knew the most about these chambers of commerce and the situation of the Great Xia Territory, so he said, "My lord, counting the Owen number, it should be enough!" ”
Xia Duo considered that the state of the magic net in the ruins was still a little dangerous for the time being, and he still needed to make a detour from Savile Town to and from the Tower of Time and the Great Xia Territory, so after thinking about it, he still didn't count the Owen, but was ready to buy another ship.
"Forget about the Owen, you buy another ship in Severton, and ask me for reimbursement when you come back, and make a list of the losses of your Chamber of Commerce during this time, and I will also reimburse you."
This kind of situation is similar to the requisition of ship personnel, Xia Duo is not ready to requisition for free, otherwise it will not be so easy next time, and win-win cooperation is king.
Of course, as a superior player, he is definitely more dominant.
