Throne of Vientiane Civilization

During this period, Zhou Xu had already arranged the transfer station in the northeast region, the trading station that had been discussed with Yarvette before.

There was actually not much to arrange here. Basically, we just needed to arrange a group of people to appraise and pay for the things sent by the female warriors.

As for the subsequent purchases, the female warriors could just take the train to Oil City, Prairie City, or even directly to Black Moon City for purchase.

Of course, they had to pay for the fare themselves.

At the same time, if they wanted to use the steam train to transport the goods they purchased to the border, they would definitely have to pay for the freight. After all, in this way, they would have to occupy at least several carriages, which would affect their internal transportation work in the Great Zhou.

Zhou Xu had already agreed with Yarvette on these matters.

If it were an ordinary force, they would definitely bring less to test the waters for the first transaction, but their Great Zhou and the female warrior tribe have always gotten along well. After the establishment of the trading station, the female warrior tribe also showed great generosity and brought carts of supplies over.

Yalvette knew that although Zhou Xu told him that their trading station could accept all kinds of things, what Zhou Xu wanted was definitely not something worthless, but various resources! This is the hard currency between the various forces here.

Their female warrior tribe also traded with various forces in the coalition in the early years, so they knew this very well.

This time, they took out some copper ore and iron ore as hard currency, and then sold some less popular or even unknown ores together.

For some ores, they didn't even know what they were used for, but who knows if the Great Zhou would find them useful? Just sell them and see, there is no loss for them.

It is not difficult to see from this that the female warriors still have some business sense. The wood elves who were not well-versed in the world back then could not compare with them.

At the trading station, there are experts transferred from the Mineral Research Institute who are responsible for identifying the various ores sent by the female warriors.

However, even so, when the staff receives the ores sent by the female warriors, they will still ask...

"What is the use of this ore?"

On the one hand, if the female warriors have an answer directly, it can save them a lot of research energy.

On the other hand, if the female warriors don't know what the ore is used for, then they obviously can't buy a batch of ores that they don't know what they can do at a high price.

In this way, the price of these ores will be kept very low.

After all, this is essentially a transaction, and they are not fools.

The female warriors have undoubtedly been prepared for a long time, and they agreed to the offer of the Great Zhou very straightforwardly.

From their perspective, it would be best if these ores, which they didn't know what they could be used for, could be sold, but it didn't matter if they couldn't be sold.

Because both sides were very happy, the whole transaction went very smoothly without any wrangling.

The two sides exchanged money and goods, and soon the money and goods were settled.

After taking the box full of gold and silver coins, the female warriors led by Campbell did not go directly back to Mistyla City, but took the money and prepared to go for the first round of procurement.

As the captain of the first team of the Pegasus Knights, Campbell followed Yalvette when she lived in the Great Zhou, and he was quite familiar with the situation in the Great Zhou.

Now that they have established a trading cooperation, Campbell has also transformed himself into the director of the procurement office of the female warrior tribe, fully responsible for leading the team to purchase related matters.

Considering the distance problem, Campbell thought about it and decided to go to the market in the oil city first.

Compared with the Black Moon City, the capital, the Oil City is indeed a little shabby, but they have to admit that it is better than their Mistyla City, and the market has basically all the goods they need.

After Campbell and the others came, the entire procurement work was carried out in the form of a sweep.

As a whole tribe, the money in that box was not enough, and they were soon squandered.

In the end, if they had to use a steam train to transport goods, the money they had left was not enough for the freight.

In the end, the trading station happily wrote them an IOU and borrowed money, so that all the things were transported away.

During this period, the relevant reports about this transaction with the female warrior tribe were also delivered to Zhou Xu at the fastest speed.

As for ore, Zhou Xu, who is not a related practitioner, basically has no research. Those unknown ores will be confirmed and studied by Zhang Xuemei, and he will wait for the results.

In comparison, this wave also made them a lot of copper and iron resources, which made Zhou Xu feel quite good.

Counting the transaction with Tonglubao, their Great Zhou can be said to have made money on both ends this year.

Although copper and iron resources are common, and they are not short of these resources in their Great Zhou, but those who understand know that important metals like this are always more, the better.

At the same time, if they can obtain these metals in large quantities and stably through external transactions, then they can appropriately reduce the number of related mining workers in the mines in their Great Zhou, so as to transfer this freed-up labor force to more needed positions.

The summary is one sentence, if you can make money from outside, make money from outside first. When the outside is gone, you can then start to dig into your own resource reserves. If you want long-term development, this is a very normal method.

On Dazhou's side, although there have been many troops mobilized in the past two years, internal development has been going quite well thanks to the resources obtained from the transactions between Copperhearth Castle and the female warrior clan.

"Bowen, the laying work of the southern railway should be basically completed next year, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This is considered an important project within their Da Zhou, and Li Bowen from Qinzheng Palace has been keeping an eye on the progress.

Now when His Majesty asked them, Li Bowen also answered quickly.

"The engineering team currently estimates that based on the current construction efficiency, if nothing unexpected happens, the first railway on the southern side will be completely completed in the early autumn of next year, or no later than the end of autumn at the latest. By then, trains from the southern factory will Once you get on the bus, you can go directly to the southern border.”

Zhou Xu nodded after confirming the information.

"Next autumn"

Zhou Xu thought about it in his mind.

"In this way, you can ask the Railway Bureau to make arrangements. The route starting from Green Forest City, passing through Anling City, and going directly to Xinbei District Plain Fortress can be gradually confirmed. Then make a plan first and send it to me for a look. ”

"yes!"
