Isn't it cheaper to buy purple black gold from Black Mountain New Town for 3,000 silver coins a catty, and go directly to the City of Death to buy goods?

The 800-kilometer mountain road into the City of Death had been completely opened up by Qin Xuan, and there were powerful and incomparable elite warriors patrolling around the clock along the way, and they were heavily guarded.

The robbers within a radius of a hundred miles were all killed by Qin Xuan, and the remaining little thieves also wandered to distant areas hundreds of miles away.

The "safe passage" to enter Qin Xuan is calculated according to the goods, and the more goods you bring, the more fees you pay.

If you are an ordinary person without goods, you only need to pay a toll of 800 silver coins (one silver coin per kilometer) to pass freely.

Those who can afford to buy purple black gold must not be short of this little money.

More than half of the people paid the toll and planned to enter the city of the dead to "see what was going on", and it was said that the periphery of the city of death was full of purple and black gold, and there was no need to spend money to buy it, just pick it up from the ground.

Around the City of Death, there is indeed a large amount of purple black gold ore.

But if you want to transport the purple black gold ore, the cost is very high, and Qin Xuan and the City Lord's Mansion have joined forces to start a "transportation industry".

In order to facilitate the management of the transportation corridor, it is forbidden to use storage rings to transport materials, and it is necessary to use horse-drawn carriages to transport materials.

All the materials transported must be weighed before they can be put on the road, and the toll method is similar to that of the highway in the 21st century, not only to calculate the weight but also to calculate the mileage, and the cost of transporting materials is very high.

A pound of purple black gold was transported from the City of Death to the outside world, and the transportation fee alone cost 2,000 silver coins.

At the same time, Mang Taihu also sent the royal forbidden army of the city lord's mansion into the mountains to exterminate the bandits.

The Royal Forbidden Army is nominally to exterminate the bandits, but in fact it is to co-opt and utilize, and the vast majority of powerful robbers are composed of retired royal guards, and Mang Taihu is now going to re-integrate them, of course they are very happy.

The reason why Mang Taihu wanted to "abandon" these elites before was mainly because Mang Taihu had a limited income and could not feed so many people at the same time.

The burden of supporting a royal guard is very large, not only to give them a high amount of money, but also to provide them with a lot of material expenses.

The most important thing is that in addition to raising tens of thousands of royal guards, Mang Taihu also raises a large number of elite royal guards.

The number of the Royal Forbidden Army is even more than a million people, and the territory in the hands of Mang Taihu is only the undead Black Mountain, although the materials are extremely rich, but it is too difficult to feed such a large number of people at the same time.

Now that it's okay, Qin Xuan's transportation plan helped Mang Taihu solve almost all the problems at once.

After the transportation channels were completely opened, the price of purple black gold not only did not fall, but also soared.

A large number of people in the outside world can enter the city of death through a safe passage to "make money".

After they entered the city, they purchased the purple black gold in the city and transported it to the outside world to sell, and paid Qin Xuan a large number of silver coins as tolls, and Qin Xuan took out half of this money and distributed it to Mang Taihu.

Although the number of silver coins that a single small trader paid tribute to Mang Taihu was not large, the number of people who could not stand the gold rush was too much.

For more than ten days in a row, Mang Taihu collected hundreds of billions of transportation fee dividends every day, and the money was earned lying down, which was simply refreshing.

On the other hand, because of the opening of the transportation channel, it also allowed the daily necessities of the outside world to be transported to the city of death.

As a result, the price of expensive and deformed living materials in the City of Death has finally dropped sharply.

The decline in the price of daily necessities has also greatly reduced the cost of raising soldiers.

The price of purple black gold has risen, and the price of living materials has decreased, which means that the pressure on Mang Taihu to raise troops does not exist, and he can greatly expand his army and improve his strength.

Those robbers and robbers who were entrenched in the periphery naturally became the targets of his co-optation.

Half a month later, Mang Taihu hosted a banquet to entertain Qin Xuan in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

This time, not only Mang Taihu himself was present, but a large number of staff members from the City Lord's Mansion were also invited by him to be present.

Qin Xuan took the stars in the sky, as well as Qin Fang and others to the banquet.

"Hahaha!" After entering the hall, Mang Taihu himself actually greeted Qin Xuan at the door of the living room in person, "Boss Qin is really a young hero, which is admirable!"

"Your Excellency has won the prize!" Qin Xuan arched his hand and smiled, "Thank you for your great care, Lord of the City." ”

"Yes, it should!" Mang Taihu said with a big grin, "The Star Merchant House is a big taxpayer in our Emperor Golden City (City of Death), if I don't take care of you God of Wealth, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat in the future!"

Mang Taihu, this guy is a rough man with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and his identity is also noble to the point of admiration, but in fact he is not as impersonal as ordinary people imagine.

On the contrary, Mang Taihu's personality is still quite easy-going.

If you have value for me, I will use you politely, you have no value for me, and Lao Tzu will not look at you more.

After taking his seat, Mang Taihu asked people to pour Qin Xuan a glass of wine, and then beckoned all the staff members of the City Lord's Mansion to get up and toast Qin Xuan.

The rules of the royal family were obviously unimaginable to Qin Xuan.

In the first round, Mang Taihu took a group of male staff members from the City Lord's Mansion to toast Qin Xuan, and after the event, the queen led a group of female staff to toast Qin Xuan.

In the last link, Qin Xuan gave everyone a glass in return.

After the polite etiquette was over, Qin Xuan directly said his intention to come here!

"Lord City Lord, I came to the City Lord's Mansion today to meet the City Lord on the one hand, and on the other hand, I also want to lease a piece of land from the City Lord!"

"Lease the right skin?" Mang Taihu said with some astonishment, "specifically...... What does that mean?"

Qin Xuan said in a condensed voice: "That's the case, I bought a house in the Emperor Golden City before, and I thought it was quite spacious at the beginning, but now that there are more and more businesses, that piece of land is no longer enough!"

"I hope that the city lord can lease me the area of 20 kilometers outside the Imperial Golden City, and I will open a market and build a warehouse here!"

"What?" Mang Taihu's face suddenly changed, "You want to expand my Imperial Golden City by 40 miles?"

"Yes!" Qin Xuan nodded in response, "Don't you think that the City Lord thinks that the Imperial Golden City is too crowded now?"

Mang Taihu replied in a stiff voice: "Although the Emperor Golden City is relatively crowded, most of the crowded areas are in the dungeon, and the situation in our Guangming District is better, and the expansion of the city doesn't seem to be so urgent, right?"
