Chapter 519: Building a City, the Ghost Lingers
The town of Malen suddenly came to life, coming alive from the stereotypical trajectory it had been going on for centuries.
The bluefin salmon business will spend a lot of money and hire almost the entire town. Men go to work on the construction site, leveling the land, digging earth, and laying the foundation for the headquarters of the construction chamber. The women and children, on the other hand, were responsible for the logistics, either cooking, or doing laundry, or doing some other chores, in short, there was work to do.
Even the old people in the town, Lin Qi hired them at a certain price. Although I am older, it is still okay to do what I can.
For example, all kinds of bamboo baskets, wooden frames and other miscellaneous items are used on the construction site, and these old people bang and beat in their own homes for a day, which is also the income of more than a dozen coppers, which makes everyone very satisfied.
The town of Malen was running so vigorously that no one paid attention to the fact that a mansion by the lake was rented out on the edge of the town. The makeover took a few maids to serve Xiong Wanjin, who was greatly injured, and put on a posture of a rich son who came here to cultivate his mind and recuperate. Every day, Da Lili would take a few maids and push Xiong Wanjin in a crude wheelchair to the lake to enjoy the lake scenery. I don't know what medicine Jia Wu gave Xiong Wanjin, anyway, Xiong Wanjin is now exhausted in qi and blood, coughing violently from time to time, like a tuberculosis ghost.
And going to the lake to soak up the fresh air is the best adjuvant treatment for tuberculosis that doctors in the Western continent can prescribe.
Therefore, the appearance of Xiong Wanjin and Haoli was not an eyesore at all, they were like a drop of water dripping into the boiling town of Malen, and they quickly integrated into the town. If an uninformed outsider sees Da Li and Xiong Wanjin, they will think that they are natives born and raised here.
Linzi sent Gavu and Alda out, and they took a smuggler to the Gallic Empire. Gavu's mission is to infiltrate the port of New Dunke, do more activities in taverns, inns and other places, and participate in some intimate salon gatherings, and find out the clues of the Black Tiger family.
According to the information provided by Yun Canglong, Blackbeard collapsed the old Dunker port into the sky, which caused a lot of trouble. Both the church and the empire are staring at Dunerke with red eyes, and it is almost impossible for the Black Tiger family to develop in Dunerke safely. But Lin Qi didn't believe that Blackbeard would discard Dunerke's inheritance at will, and the Black Tiger family would definitely leave a dark line there.
He motioned for Gavu to carve certain symbols and dark patterns in certain hidden places in Dun'er while ensuring his safety. These symbols and unique words are all symbols used within the Black Tiger Family, as long as there are high-level members of the Black Tiger Family in Dun'er, you will definitely be able to find out the meaning represented by these symbols, Uncle Lin Qi is back, I have provoked a strong enemy, come and save your life!
When the Jin Baihan family dispatched a large number of people to keep an eye on the various roads to Dunerke, Lin Qi himself did not dare to risk rushing to Dunerke. God knows if Yun Jun's old monster was waiting for him somewhere, if he felt the ten green dragon qi hidden in Lin Qi's body at close range, Lin Qi would really be sure.
Letting the inconspicuous Alda infiltrate Dunerke to find out the news and lure the people of the Black Tiger Family to rescue is the only method that Lin Qi can use now.
He simply made a big splash in the construction chamber of commerce in Malen Town, unless Yun Jun came here to investigate in person, Lin Qi was confident that no one would find out his true face. No matter how many people the Jin Hanhuan family has deployed on the road to Dunerke, Lin Qi will stay in Malen Town and not get a step closer to Dunerke, what can they do with Lin Qi?
As for Gawu, the treacherous and cunning Gawu will go to the university town of Berelli to recruit all kinds of professionals with a large stack of official documents and golden tickets. After all, the Bluefin Salmon Chamber of Commerce is just a Chamber of Commerce that Lin Qi hurriedly formed. Now that the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce is still under construction, Lin Qi can explain to the people of Malen Town and the guards such as Lune that the follow-up manpower of the Chamber of Commerce is gradually coming.
However, a chamber of commerce must always have a lot of professional talents, and it is impossible for a chamber of commerce to have only three or five cats as big as Lin Qi to support the façade, right? Therefore, Gawu's task is to go to the university town of Berelli, and at least recruit more than 100 talents for business operation and financial management to Lin Qi.
At the expense of a lot of money, he used a high salary to attract him, digging up the foot of the wall, knocking on a stick, and even kidnapping tickets to intimidate, anyway, no matter what means Gawu used, he had to bring at least a hundred people to Lin Qi. There is not enough manpower in a huge chamber of commerce to fill the façade, not to mention hiding it from outsiders, even Lu En and others can't hide it.
Professionals are easy to do with other people. For example, the chamber of commerce's men, coachmen, porters, etc., there are more than 10,000 permanent residents in Malen Town, as long as Lin Qi gives a fair salary, the subordinates of the three or five thousand chamber of commerce can easily pull up.
And to hire these guys and workers in Malen Town, Linzi also has a good excuse to the outside world. One is to help the residents of Malen Town get rich together, and the other is to save costs, after all, even if the Fan Baihan family is rich, it is impossible to get thousands of chamber of commerce employees from their own territory, right?
After sending away Gavu and Ardarinzi, he devoted all his energy to the construction of the Abandoned Headquarters.
A medium-sized chamber of commerce, naturally has its specifications, many places can not exceed the rules, just like Lin Qi built a chamber of commerce, not a castle, so the chamber of commerce's city walls and architectural style, etc., have strict requirements.
Obviously, if the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce built by Lin Qi built a tall city wall, a spacious moat, and an arrow tower and watchtower were built on the city wall, and each of the buildings of the Chamber of Commerce could be used as a separate combat fortification, I am afraid that the official officials of the Caesar Empire would immediately intervene, and a regular army of the Caesar Empire would come to completely raze Lin Qi's foundation.
After all, the Fan Baihan family is a count's family registered in the Vias Commercial Federation, and it can purchase property in the Caesar Empire, but a taboo thing like a castle, as a foreign noble, is not allowed to have a castle in the territory of the Caesar Empire.
It's just that Lin Qi's blood from the old man is all-encompassing, and there are some strange architectural knowledge, how to use private houses to exert a lethal power similar to a war fortress. As long as the building quality of the house is a little higher, it can withstand a certain range of attacks, and with some specially configured outbuildings, the defense and attack power are not trivial.
While the residents of Malen were leveling the foundations, Linzi personally designed a complex architectural drawing for the Chamber of Commerce.
Seemingly ordinary, boxy complexes, tall buildings and low stone houses are scattered, the streets between buildings are as complex as spider webs, and in many key places, simply knocking down a few inconspicuous outbuildings in the vicinity can completely cut off traffic between buildings, turning these buildings into traps of death.
Lin Qi gave full play to the various architectural knowledge that the old man had passed on to him, and spent countless energy and designed countless traps that looked ordinary but could actually kill people.
The design of the Chamber of Commerce occupies a large area, because in addition to the main building of the Chamber of Commerce, there are also various workshops attached to it. For example, the blacksmith factory, the log processing plant, the meat food processing plant, the leather products processing plant, etc., Lin Qi ambitiously planned dozens of different processing plants for the Chamber of Commerce, which directly led to the fact that the Chamber of Commerce covers a huge area, has a lot of buildings, and the traffic inside is extremely complicated.
According to Linzi's design, this chamber of commerce can easily accommodate 30,000 or 50,000 people, but from the outside, the chamber of commerce can accommodate the largest number of people as Maren Town. After all, in Lin Qi's construction, this is an important place for him to secretly hoard force in the future.
With the design drawings and the gold coins that Lin Qi spilled a lot of, the residents of Malen Town and the construction workers specially invited from Mali City, dozens of miles away, were busy with enthusiasm. In just a few days, according to Lin Qi's design drawings, the foundation of the Chamber of Commerce has already taken on a certain appearance. A large number of stones and stone bars were also excavated and transported from the mountains, and neatly stacked next to the construction site.
Lin Qi is going to use pure stone to build all the buildings of the Chamber of Commerce, so that the Chamber of Commerce can have a strong defense.
On this day, five days after Arda and Gavu left, Linzi was on the construction site instructing the workers to dig the foundation. He asked the workers to dig the foundation fifteen meters deep into the ground, so that they could build secret rooms and secret passages underground in the future.
Just as Lin Qi was standing by a ditch and shouting loudly, he suddenly felt an unkind gaze pass over him.
Casually raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his forehead, Lin Qi crossed his hands on his waist, smiled and shouted to those sweaty workers: "Everyone work hard, tonight, I have people prepare excellent beef and wine for everyone." And fresh sauerkraut sausages, the taste is really indescribable!" Thousands of workers cheered in unison, Lin Qi turned his head with a smile, and glanced in the direction he had just felt out of the corner of his eye.
A short, shriveled little man was carrying a pickaxe, knocking on the ground and bumping it to the west, and when he saw Lin Qi turn around, he hurriedly swung the pickaxe vigorously, lifting the earth and stones up half a day high.
Although he lost his mental power and couldn't accurately cut off this guy's strength, looking at the calluses on his tiger's mouth, Lin Qi knew that this guy was a good hand with a sword. In particular, although he was short and shriveled, his limbs were not well-proportioned, and his steps were light and balanced, and it was clear that he was a well-trained player with a deep foundation.
Have you finally found your door?
Lin Qi smiled faintly and pulled the corners of his mouth disappreciatively.
Then let you rummage around and see what you can find.
It's just that it can't be done if these guys mess around here, if they try to make a move, they will cause trouble for Lin Qi.
After pondering for a while, Lin Qi secretly made a decision. (To be continued)
