The Righteous Player(s)

Only half a month has passed.

In this era when the flow of news is not yet convenient...

The information that the old grandmother had awakened from the dragon's sleep had spread all over the world.

It was the Noah who first discovered this. To be precise, they are steam freighters gathered together in Winter.

The most important one is the company that led the veterans to change jobs after the princess failed to compete for the throne. That is, the marine company with the highest comprehensive qualification within the scope of the Noah Kingdom, which was tendered and subscribed by the royal family.

After the royal family acquired half of all shareholders' shares, its original name no longer matters.

It will get a new, highest-ranking name-named directly after the kingdom without any additional suffix "Noah Marine Company". The scope of business will also expand from pure sea freight to fisheries, aquatic product processing, deep-sea resource exploitation, ocean trade, tourism, etc.

After the reopening of the port in Winter, Noah Marine's ships will come almost every three days.

Either it is to transport people, or it is to transport goods...Although the natural resources on the side of Winter are relatively scarce, there are quite a number of high-value commodities on the side of Winter——

The Amber Sea in the northern part of Winter is the largest amber gathering place in the world. It can almost be called a "naked mine." As long as you drive a civilian boat and grab a fine fishing net, you can catch a net full of amber like a small fish.

The Frost Beast blood and Frost Beast fur are also the only special products sold here.

Although this was not just a need, it was because Rin Dong cut off foreign trade for a long time... and private farming of Frost Beasts was not allowed. The Frost Animal products on the market have been substantially monopolized by the underground city, which has already been more than seven or eight times higher than the actual value.

In addition, the offshore area of ​​Winter has the best quality and most types of plump marine fish in the world-it is a natural fishing ground that can feed half of the Principality and has surplus.

During the sealing of the sea in winter, even Noah's nobles had no chance to taste it.

Because this thing is no better than Frost Beast's blood, it is difficult to store and transport, so it is very difficult to even transport it to the underground city... Even in the underground city with the most abundant commodities, the winter sea fish is the most expensive ingredient.

It is even more expensive than the highest quality beef produced by the country.

In the beginning, it was only Noah Marine Company. Every time after putting down the supplies from the winter side, in order not to return to the empty warehouse, he brought something casually.

But they soon discovered that this thing can sell for more than ten times the price in Noah...After all, in Winter, fish is the least valuable ingredient.

Because the fish in Winter is "silly". They don't hide from people at all, eat at the sight of bait, and they are too numerous to catch them-after all, the old grandmother's field also includes tradition. As the mother of Ten Thousand Dragons, she and the girl holding a cup jointly control the field of reproduction and rebirth.

On those seas that were not frozen by blizzards and ice, every time they came out to collect the nets, the fishing nets were full of big fat fish.

That is because not all cities are on the seashore. Some places are relatively remote. When you come out to collect fish, you need to leave the small barrier and work under the snowstorm... The result is that these fishes get out of the water and freeze into icicles in the blink of an eye. The former is so delicious.

But in Noah, because these things are scarce, delicious and difficult to transport and preserve, it has easily become the latest trend in Noah's kingdom.

Winter Sea Fish has reached ten times the purchase price, and it is still rising. Among them, the price of live fish is higher than that of frozen fish-after all, Noah's nobles are really not bad money.

After realizing the business opportunity, it didn't take long for the freighters of other companies to start heading for Winter.

Soon, the number of merchant ships on Winter's side increased to at least one per day. After that, it increased to three to four ships per day... Even the freighters from the United Kingdom just circumvented from Noah's side.

And the latest batch of freighters was still in the winter when they were discussing business and loading goods.

Without warning, the small barriers in various places suddenly opened at the same time-and amidst the panic and fear of people shouting, the blizzard that had frozen everything did not come.

The warm air is blowing in. The sky is the shining sun.

The ice of all rivers melted in an instant, and the frozen farmland thawed and regained fertility. Even wild animals suddenly appeared... as if all the people from one country had traveled to another world.

People quickly realized what had happened.

Soon, the festive atmosphere of carnival swept the country——

Winter people came out of their homes one after another, rushing to the surrounding fields and mountains, looking at the pale, but extremely real green that is full of vitality.

Almost everyone in the family took out all the food stored in their homes, put them together in the squares of various cities, and held banquets.

Soon the square was filled with stands, so every family simply cooked and presented these not-so-delicious foods at their doorsteps, in the streets and alleys.

For the people of Winter, wine is of course a must, so people took out their pockets and bought all the wine they could buy. The tavern owner also didn't make any money, and sold them directly at the purchase price, and the inventory was sold clean.

Even the businessmen from other places were dragged to participate in this unprecedented banquet.

When have they seen such a spectacular scene?

The so-called empty alley——

People in almost a city, all put on their most decent clothes, eating free dishes, drinking free soup in the square, in the streets and alleys, and holding a bottle of cheap or expensive wine in their hands.

Every time I see other people, whether they know each other or not, regardless of their status, whether they are men or women, old or young, they have to have a bright smile on their faces, clink glasses and drink with each other.

They took off their hats and saluted, respected the Duke, called each other brothers, and celebrated in unison.

People laugh, shout, sing, and dance at the banquet and in the streets and alleys.

Bottle after bottle, noisy till dawn.

When they drink too much, they will hug each other and cry. The strong bear-like man curls up like a baby, whimpering in a dialect that no one understands.

——In the spring year, even if you lie down on the ground after getting drunk, you will not be frozen to death by the early morning wind.

Nothing is more [reassuring] than this.

This is always the number one cause of death for young adults in the winter.

Then, why do these strong laborers, the pillars of the family, drank all night and fell drunk at dawn without care?

That is self-evident.

Because they lack [hope]. Looking up, there is not a shred of hope.

Now, those days are finally over.

Noah's businessmen couldn't understand those whimpering words.

But the smell of stew, the red lights that never go out at night, the carnival songs and dances, they will remember them all their lives.

After these businessmen returned to China, they immediately notified everyone they could inform about the "winter and spring" ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ They described this peculiar experience vividly. Some people even wrote it and adapted it into an opera.

These merchants did not bring back any short-selling specialties when they returned to China this time...just a ship after ship of letters.

That is one letter after another.

It was something that Grand Duke Winter had entrusted them to bring back.

——That is [Hope] itself.

The children and the elderly who stayed in the winter, the left-behind residents without the ability to work, wrote one letter after another with the help of the priests. Calling their family back.

Every word is full of joy. Like a flame, burning the wandering heart.

The winter year is over.

——The beginning of winter in spring!
