The Dictatorial Lords

A few days after Locke announced that he had entered the industrial age, steam cars could be seen all over the streets and alleys of Orz, including merchants, residents, and bicycles. But now, Orz took a sharp look Going up. It's like traveling to the era of Great Shanghai.

People were excited, and the merchant's caravan was replaced by steam wagons. Much more cargo can be loaded than was previously possible with livestock.

In the past, I could earn thousands of gold coins for a trip, but now I use the steam truck. According to the loading capacity of the truck, at least tens of thousands of gold coins are needed for a trip back from the merchants. How could this not excite those businessmen?

Without using these vans, you never know how much these iron guys can carry.

All the merchants who bought these steam wagons were so happy that they almost threw a banquet to celebrate.

There are still some caravans who haven't bought it, or are still waiting and watching, and they seem to regret it. Looking at the loading capacity of these steam wagons, according to this volume of goods, they have been doing business outside several times. Then it can be compared to the transaction volume that I have worked so hard outside for more than ten times.

Therefore, these businessmen who didn't buy it went to the business department to find Hal every day. Ask how long until these steam wagons arrive.

Just know that these steam wagons are sold monthly. Don't say how regretful these businessmen are.

There is no way to do this. According to the production volume of the workers, the monthly accumulation is only one warehouse. In this regard, Locke does not intend to continue to exchange skilled workers now. As long as it can meet the needs of Orz, now is not the time to sell it to the outside world. Let's wait until the envoys from those countries come to talk about it.

Locke believed that it was impossible for the nobles not to know the value of this steam car. want to get. Then exchange it with gold coins. Or land will do.

Don't think about gunning those caravans. If someone is robbing a caravan, the armies of Orz will show you what fear is.

I believe that in so many previous wars or the deeds of Auer Oz dispatching troops to fight against robbers, these nobles or those in charge of forces still know the rules of Auar Oz.

want to? Simple, money-making purchases.

This is also the reason why the stewards of the caravan bought it without hesitation after learning about the steam car. Those countries or forces outside have no courage to rob them, and they will really encounter those unreasonable ones. Then they don't have to worry. Just report it to the Orz Patrol. Naturally, the army went to trouble them.

Within the range of Orz's radiation, they were considered safe. The advance is that you don't take the initiative to cause trouble. This is also very clearly written in the Ol' Oz regulations.

Farther away, the caravans have basically not developed there, so naturally it is impossible to worry about them. Even if you are unlucky to be encountered. It's a big deal to give up these things. As long as people are fine, they can talk about anything. Sometimes forces or countries that have a good relationship with Orz can help merchants solve some troubles.

Now it can be said that being a merchant or a resident in Orz is the happiest thing. There are still many tribes in the Wigerut Wilderness that are willing to take the initiative to become affiliated tribes of Orz, but the city lord has not spoken, and he does not know whether to agree or not.

Even so, they can get help from patrols in case of trouble. In their hearts, they are now the subordinate tribes of Orz. This made Locke, who knew these things, dumbfounded.

Before I knew it, I already had so many affiliated tribes.

Luckily for Locke, when Orz was being built, the entire city was paved with bluestone. If it is a dirt floor, the implementation of steam vehicles now requires refurbishment of the road surface.

Locke used to think that the dirt road was dirty when it rained, but now that he thinks about it, he still has the foresight.

Locke stood on the balcony of the office and watched the traffic below. A little trance, it's like being in the European industrial age. Wasn't that how steam cars were everywhere at that time? Although there are far more people than people who owned steam cars at that time.

"My lord." Wei Na came in. Locke looked at Wei Na and said, "Weina, what's the matter?" Now Wei Na is Locke's exclusive secretary. Generally speaking, except for Zhang Zhao and others who can find Locke directly, Wei Na needs to convey everything else.

"My lord, Lord Egesta and Lord Diya came back through sound transmission, saying that the construction of Fengqi collar has been completed. Now merchants have formed relatively good business transactions in the border, Fengqi collar and Orz Bazaar. Many surrounding countries have caravans or chambers of commerce stationed in Fengqi collar. The military construction is also complete. The guard fort has also been established. The 200,000 soldier legion is stationed around Fengqi collar. And the 5,000 knights have also entered In the training stage, Fengqiling, Border Gate, and Orz have formed a favorable situation of watching each other, and this is the result of half a year."

Locke nodded, half a year has passed. Eggstad and the others didn't do it in vain. The construction of Fengqi collar met his expectations. Locke said, "What else?"

Seeing Locke asked casually. Vera smiled. Those gentle eyes looked at Locke. In the past six months, the relationship between their sisters and Locke has made great progress. It's just one step away from raw rice and cooked rice.

"What's more, Lord Dia asked me to ask, when will he be able to come back? He doesn't think it's suitable to be a city lord at the border."

hear this. Locke laughed and said: "This Diya is really good. Others are eager to climb up. The more power the better. He is good. I don't want to be the lord of the city anymore. Haha. You know, I am also the lord of the city now. Haha."

Wei Na giggled and said, "My lord, how can you, the city lord, compare with the border city lord? If Dia knew about it, you wouldn't be scared to death."

Locke said: "Well, since Dia applied to come back, let him come back, this Dia. He really inherited Lawrence's a bit. He is so stable in everything he does. He has many ideas. The current border is governed by him. It's very good. Let him come back, I plan to build a new department. Let him manage it. I think he has the ability to be a city lord at the border for half a year. You go to inform Mai Yadi, he is a kobold tribe The patriarch of the patriarch has been managing their kobolds now, and I have seen the contributions their kobolds have made to us Orz over the years, it is time to promote them."

Wei Na nodded, gave Locke a blank look, then turned and left.

Locke naturally knew why Wei Na rolled her eyes. Isn't it because they haven't eaten the two sisters yet? But is this the time? Fuck. Thinking of this cat girl, Locke doubted whether his ability could handle it. The cat clan is a race known for its endurance and toughness. I'm so human. Forehead. . . .
