In the early morning, more than 100 wagons full of cotton cloth wrapped in cotton cloth were struggling to advance on the muddy road in the wooded road leading to the Everon Pass.

The carriage was packed with important information accumulated by the Dardanelles family for a hundred years, and the fat man was ready to bring all these materials back to Zhivadin.

The cool breeze blowing through the forest made the fat man tighten the leather coat on his body, and under the leather coat was a layer of light ring buckle armor, and the cold steel sheet was attached to the thin underwear, and the flesh was painful

Since the fat man was attacked by the bridge, the fat man has habitually added a layer of chain mail behind his clothes, but the autumn wind is cold, and when the oncoming cold wind blows, the biting cold pours straight in, and even the thick body of the fat man is a little unbearable.

A few days ago, there was a heavy autumn rain, because the trees on both sides were luxuriant, the terrain was shady, and the road surface was not yet dry and hard, which brought great difficulty to the march of the team.

"How long is this kind of road?" the fat man frowned unhappily, at this rate, it is estimated that he will not be able to return to Zhivading in two days

The dilapidated and muddy forest road in front of you is the Dardanelles era, for the light infantry corps to march, temporarily built, although it is wide enough, but the ground bearing capacity is obviously insufficient, it is the perennial accumulation of soil in the forest, soft and damp, when it encounters the rainy season, it is a puddle of mud,

In addition, the number of horse-drawn carriages transporting building materials has increased recently, and the roadside, which was originally uneven, is now even more potholed

"There are still more than ten miles of such a road, and only when you reach the Evern Pass can you have a hard stone road" Sabeniken, the captain of the Six Banners Regiment who was in charge of the guard, wiped the sweat from his forehead with an embarrassed face, and the displeasure in the fat man's tone was too obvious

Occupy an area, build a road to Zhivadin, this is the habit of the Samori army, this muddy and broken road, obviously shows the dereliction of duty of the Sixth Banner Regiment, seeing the fat man's frowning eyebrows, Sabeniken quickly explained

"Some time ago, the peasant riots that spread throughout Riwa Cheze made the flag regiment have to deploy a large number of people to maintain order, so the road construction has been delayed for a while!

The Flag Commander has already begun to deploy manpower, and is ready to replace the soft pavement of this forest road with a solid stone road, and I believe that this bad situation will soon be improved!"

"Yes, I hope so" The fat man loosened his frowning eyebrows and snorted, Sabeniken was right, some time ago, he was so busy that no one remembered the road construction, and the fat man was afraid that Sabenik was just perfunctory, and continued

"Tell you, the head of the Statunko Banner, that in late October I will come to Riwacheze to supervise the progress of the construction of the Samoel War College and the port of Tattethys, and if this road is still so bad by then, I will remove him from his post as the internal affairs officer of Riwacheze, and let him go back to the Falcon Territory as his petty tax officer!"

"Yes, yes, Lord Lord, please rest assured, I will definitely bring your words to the Flag Commander as they are!" Sabenicon nodded with a happy face, and the Governor said that he was not going to pursue this matter.

Sabenik is a subordinate guard in the era of the fat man's falcon territory, since following the fat man's battle, after several life and death battles, it can be regarded as the fat man's henchmen brought out from the falcon territory, calling the fat man the lord instead of the governor, not only showing his closeness to the fat man, but also showing his old qualifications to the guards around the fat man.

The muddy road slowed down the march of the horses, and the fat man had to rush back to Zhivadin with the guards, cross the Everon Pass, and embark on the wide trade road built in strict accordance with the standards of the Satroma Road, and the carriages gradually increased.

The great construction in the south was in full swing, not only attracted the local nobles of the Živa Cha, but also the caravans in other parts of Satsuma were also active, and the muddy forest road could not stop the merchants' determination to pursue profits.

Faced with a terrible road transportation line, the merchant came up with a tortuous way to haul the building materials to the town of Linatu near the Everon Pass, and then from the dock of Linatu Town, to board the ship.

Along the river to the southern suburb of the town of Tadins, and then ashore to load and transport to the Riwacheze, because the river is not big, so the goods can only be carried on wooden rafts and go down the current, and not with a big boat upstream, so the fat man has to choose the land.

In the town of Dantus, not far from Zhivadin, the fat man unexpectedly found a caravan of lush leaves from Kyoto, three small carriages parked outside the tavern outside the town, the fat man had been away from Kyoto for a while, and he only had a general understanding of the situation in Kyoto.

It is only known that the old Jones crook has opened up the situation in Kyoto with the secret support of the business alliance, and a considerable force has been formed around the Jones family, although it has not yet reached the point of competing with the royal family and conservatives, but it is only a matter of time, and any new thing needs a process of development.

"All dismount and find a nearby place to rest!" The fat man looked at the lively town in front of him, and waved his hand to stop the horse's hooves for a dozen or so guards following behind him, and the guards took the reins from the fat man's hand, and there were many people in the town, especially the merchants who drove the carriage and hurried away. A wide trade road runs through the centre of Dantus, flanked by small inns and goods stations run by the townspeople, and the wooden doors and windows across the street are mostly closed, an unwritten rule for merchants.

Merchants always care about the secrets of their goods, if the doors and windows are closed, it means that there are already people using them, if they are opened, this means that they are here to be rented, passers-by can only look curiously at the rows of closed doors and windows, and hear the noise of drinking and the shouting of unloading the goods, which is also a unique scenery of Dantus.

Dantus is located on the south side of Zhivadin, is the only way to go in and out of Zhivadin, many merchants choose to rest in Dantus, wait for the goods to be sorted out, contact the warehouse, and then set off to Zhivadin.

The fat man came to the front of the tavern where the carriage was parked, and carefully examined the three carriages in front of him, one of which had a deep crack on the side door handle, as if it had been split in half, and the wood of the broken opening had been dried yellow and blackened, and at first glance it was the old traces left by the sharp weapon, which made the fat man feel his heart jump, "The old liar has come to Rivading in person?"

The fat man still remembers that old man Jones liked to brag about his youthful travels, including one assassination by his rival, during the fight, his rival's axe cut off the doorknob of the carriage, and in order to show off his charm, old man Jones used this scarred carriage as his special carriage.

"Squeak" The fat man pushed open the wooden door of the tavern with doubts, and the lively noise came to his face, only to see that it was full of merchants and mercenaries from south to north, more than a dozen tables, only the table in the upper left corner was still empty

"Boss!, sixteen glasses of pine nut wine!"

The fat man waved his hand to the tavern owner, and sat down at the table in the upper left corner with the guards, his eyes looked carefully twice, and he didn't see the shadow of Jones's old liar, and couldn't help frowning slightly, "Did you remember wrong?"

"Cousin Jones Nelly, do you think the Business Alliance will help our House of Lons this time?" A familiar and charming figure suddenly walked in from the tavern door, and Jones Nelly, who had not been seen for many days, accompanied by a petite aristocratic girl, followed by two handsome young nobles.

Jones Nelly was about to answer her little cousin, when her eyes suddenly froze, and in the upper left corner, a fat man with a depressed face was staring at her angrily
