Lord of War
One hundred and eighty-two. Black Wrong Person
Black Rock Town.
This small town located in the southeast of the Black Reef Grassland has a population of over five thousand. In terms of scale, even if this small town is to be built into a city, there is no problem, but the reason why it has not been expanded into a city is that the planning of this small town is very messy. They are built bit by bit around the outermost stone wall.
If a small town like this is to be expanded into a large-scale city, it is tantamount to tearing down the entire town and rebuilding it. Because this project is too huge, it is absolutely impossible for the mayor of the town to pay for it himself, but if Elsie is to pay for it, you can tell from the poor appearance of this guy that he is in Probably not likely in the next few years.
And even after a few years, I don't know if he can reach this level.
In front of the town, Sean and Elsie dismounted.
It's not that you can't enter the city on horseback, but that the top of the town gate is too small, so riders are destined to be unable to enter the city on horseback.
Before entering the town, Sean already smelled a disgusting rancid smell, which became even worse after entering the town. I can't tell what kind of smell it is, but it should be the smell of excrement, garbage, sewage, etc. all piled up together. The ground in the town is not paved with stones, it is still muddy. And because of the intrusion of sewage for a long time, the feeling of walking on this land is not soft, but disgusting.
"Just enter the Three Rings Wall." Elsie didn't look like a nobleman at all, whether it was the foul air or the muddy land. It didn't affect his mood at all, but after seeing Xiao En's frown. He opened his mouth to comfort and said, "The town has been expanded four times. The first two times were fine, and the stone road was paved. However, from the third expansion, the stone road was interrupted after half of the paving. It is said that it is because of the small town There was not enough money and there was no paving after the fourth expansion.”
"Where is that stone factory?" Sean was naturally not familiar with Blackstone Town. But with Elsie, the Lord of Mordegg, by his side, he certainly didn't have to ask anyone.
"It's right inside the three-ring wall, and almost the entire South Street is a stone factory." Elsie said with a smile, leading the way with one hand holding the horse and the other, "but we can't live inside the three-ring wall at night."
"Why?" Sean was a little curious again.
"The farther you are, the more expensive the accommodation fee." Elsie smiled shyly, "I don't have enough money. I spent it on the investment of the territory before."
While talking, Elsie counted lightly with her fingers: "Well, next month's taxation can probably net a hundred gold coins..."
Sean squinted at the lord.
"...If the trade team is organized smoothly, there should be a net income of one or two hundred gold coins per trip..."
Sean sighed, he was no longer sympathetic to Elsie, but pitiful.
His short-distance trading caravan had only traveled two small villages before. In less than ten days, there was a net income of nearly 400 gold coins. If the rearranged caravan goes well this time, at least it can bring him back thousands of gold coins.
If the quarterly taxes for the next month are included, Sean estimates that the income from the territory next month will be at least more than 3,000 gold coins.
However, Elsie doesn't seem to feel that there is any shame in having such a small income in his territory. He is still very happy to calculate: "I heard that the Marquis of Tonys merged the Panda and Shaov territories into one territory. And A lord has been appointed to administer the..."
"It's not an assignment, it's a reward." Sean added to Elsie's mistake. "The identity of the new lord is a pioneer knight, and his title is a knight. ...And the two territories have not been merged, but the one that belongs to the Black Swan Castle has been integrated with the Panda territory. The Black Lagoon Grassland is still the Marquis of Tonys. Yes. The new territory has not yet been named, but I guess it should be almost the same, and the name can be officially changed after the paperwork is in hand."
Documents, of course, refer to the documents of Panda Ling. This document has not yet been obtained by Asuna, so although the territory belongs to Asuna in name, it still belongs to the Kingdom of Darbion in fact. Panda led the three small towns to inform the new lord, and also appointed a soldier from Thunder Front as an envoy, and went directly to Baron Panda, the former Panda leader, to ask for documents.
Elsie snapped her tongue inwardly: "Tsk tsk, pioneer knight, it seems that the Marquis of Tonys has a lot of ambitions. ... But how do you know such details?"
"Because I am that lord." Xiao En said with a face of course.
"You?" Elsie was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, "You still really like to joke....Do you think that lord is as poor as me? But even if I am poor, I can still bring two followers Well, you, the lord, don’t even have a follower, haha.”
Sean squinted at Elsie again. Should he pity the lord's IQ, or praise him for being cute?
"But you just said that the Black Swan Castle seems to have become the property of that lord, but as far as I know, the Black Swan Castle is completely ruined now, right?" Elsie began to wrench her fingers again, "So The lord who came here must definitely need to renovate the castle. Tell me, can I take this opportunity to kill him severely?"
This time, Sean rolled his eyes directly: "How are you going to blackmail?"
"Well, under normal circumstances, it takes at least a thousand stones to renovate a castle." Hearing what Sean said, the poorest lord Sean has seen so far finally began to calculate seriously, "But the Black Swan Castle The scale is quite special. I went to see it secretly once. Although the castle has only three floors, most of the mountain wall has been hollowed out. There are more than 800 rooms in total. The trend and corridors are extremely long. Although There is no backyard, but there is a vestibule and a high wall... Well, I estimated at the time that if it really needs to be repaired, it will cost at least 2,400 stone, but that was the situation two years ago. According to my It is estimated that about 3,500 stones are needed now."
This time, Sean finally showed surprise on his face.
At that time, when installing the gate of the Black Swan Castle. He has already invited those architects to inspect and evaluate, after five days of exploration and inspection and three days of discussion and research. It is believed that the most stone-saving repair plan also needs 3,471 yuan. If the renovation is to be completely carried out according to the architectural blueprint of the Black Swan Castle regardless of the cost, at least more than 4,100 stones will be needed.
However, the latter construction method needs to obtain the original architectural blueprint of the Black Swan Castle. And this kind of stone refers to a standard cut stone that is one foot square.
"The cost price of the black steel stone is three gold coins. Of course, it is impossible to sell it for this money." Elsie did not notice the strange look on Xiao En's face, and was still calculating, "At the current market price, the black steel stone It costs about ten pieces of gold. According to the calculation of 3,500 stones, it is 35,000 gold coins, if the cost of manpower transportation is added... How about I charge him 40,000 Pangaea gold coins?"
"You are so dark." This time, it was finally Sean's turn to click his tongue. "The gold coins used by the Principality of Ryan are all the gold of the Millennium Covenant Empire. There are Pangea gold coins that can be exchanged for one to one. The gold coins of the Kingdom of Dabiang It's only 70% gold, and 35,000 Dabion gold coins are only equivalent to 24,500 Ryan gold coins. Even if you count the most worthless labor, the transportation fee, as five thousand gold coins, it is only 28,000 Ryan gold coins That's all."
"Speaking of which, I do have a dark heart." Elsie nodded, with a self-reflection look on her face, "But every year I will send 100,000 yuan to the Marquis of Tonys to exploit the stubborn rocks of the Black Reef. But the Ryan gold coins... If I don’t ask for some money from the people of the Ryan Principality, how can I do this.”
"Even if you get it. Can the money still go into your pocket?" Sean gave Elsie a blank look, "You have never participated in the management of the stone factory, and you don't even know the history of the stone factory. Profitability... As the largest source of funds in your territory, you actually didn't manage it yourself, I don't even know what you are thinking." Speaking of this. Xiao En changed his words and added: "If the Black Swan Castle is really going to be renovated, it will need at least 4,000 stones. If you count the reserve, the lord will probably buy 5,000 stones from you at one time."
"This is really a good deal." Elsie said with a shocked face, "So it means that 50,000 Ryan gold coins have entered the account..."
Before Elsie could finish speaking, Sean had already slapped her: "It's only 35,000 Ryan gold coins."
"Oh, why do you always speak for that lord." Elsie yelled dissatisfiedly, "It's the lord I'm blacking out on, not you, why are you nervous. Could it be that the lord is your lover? ... Oh , No,... Could it be that you are the lover of that lord?"
Elsie took what Sean said just now, and greeted Sean back, which can really be regarded as a practical application.
It's a pity that it's useless to play such a rascal in front of Xiao En. This guy has a thicker skin than anything else: "I already told you, I am the lord."
"Who would believe it?" Elsie pouted, "Except for a shabby lord like me, which lord would travel alone?"
"You also know that you are shabby?" Sean sneered, "It's no wonder that your territory is not bankrupt in the way you operate.... If I were you, the first thing I would do when I inherit this territory is If the stone factory is taken down, how can you let others manage it. The money you earn is not yours, and you still have to pay so much for this stone factory.
Elsie shouted angrily: "Hey! Let's talk about turning your face!"
"Can you turn it over for me?" Sean raised his eyebrows.
Elsie lost her temper. He has already tried this way, and he is no match for Sean in terms of force value, so it is better not to humiliate yourself in this kind of thing, and at the same time, it is very self-consoling in the spirit of Ah Q: "I am a man who has no airs." My lord, I treat people with sincerity and kindness!"
However, this kind of muttering and croaking noise soon ushered in another slap from Sean: "Shut up!"
As a result, the poorest and most miserable lord in history finally shut up quietly and stopped talking.
PS: I heard many people say that they don't know where to look for the monthly pass. Well... What I want to say is that the new book monthly pass is not on the game channel, but on the homepage. There is a monthly pass PK list under the homepage, and that is the new book monthly pass list that I have been talking about this month. ...Finally, the fifth watch came too late, sorry.
