Chapter 382 [Sell well, not well]

The land purchased by Chen Daolin is located north of Rova City, and its general location is located on the northern edge of Rova City's jurisdiction.

Geographically, this place is located at an angle at the border between the Nurin Province and the Tulip Family.

If we look at the map, Chen Daolin's land is only a few dozen miles to the left, which is the territory of the Tulip Family, and if we go north, it is only fifty miles, which is the northern border northwest of the empire and the northwest section of the Kaspersky Line.

Six thousand acres of land seem to be quite a lot, but in fact it is not very big, probably only about four square kilometers. Just a little bit, you can think of it as a square with a side length of two thousand meters.

If this number is still relatively vague, then to make an analogy, such a large place is about ten Tiananmen Squares or ten Vatican cities.

After a series of agreements reached between Rova City and the local government, Chen Daolin led his brigade to continue migrating northwards, and finally arrived at this land that already belonged to him ten days later.

As the team arrived here, there were a team of garrison troops in Rova City and two officials from Rova City - the mayor naturally would not do such hard work as long distances.

A series of contract documents have been completed long ago.

This ghost place looks very desolate. The huge land looks completely empty from a distance.

The land is barren, and it is common in the northwest. From a distance, there are some yellow hillsides around it, and there are also no grass and loess slopes. Looking around, you can see yellow mud and gravel.

Seeing this scene, even Montoya, who was the most determined, couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart.

This Lord Darling... led his people and even kidnapped tens of thousands of people, and just ran to such a remote and barren land, "creating a new situation"?!!

The only thing that gave Montoya a little peace of mind was that there was a river nearby.

There is a branch of the Kilimaro Mountains in the north of the Noirin Province. This river flows from the huge Kilimaro Mountains and runs through the north of the Noirin Province. Every spring, the river's water level will be larger than usual because the snow on the mountain melts.

Now it seems that this river is not too far from the land of our home. After calculating in Montoya's mind, he determined that at least tens of thousands of people on his side could still meet the water needs with this river.

...

It took three days for Montoya to lead his men to organize a brigade of tens of thousands of people and set up a camp here.

This camping is no longer the same as the nightclub on the previous trip. Because before building a new city wall, people like me had to stay here for a long time, so this camping is much more formal.

A large number of tents were set up, and Montoya led the mercenaries to count and allocate tens of thousands of people. Various craftsmen were distinguished by professions. The workers with their families were also arranged to a huge family camp.

In order to prevent some public security incidents from happening, Montoya spent another sum of money after asking Chen Daolin to extend the employment period of the two hundred mercenaries who came with the team. In the future, these two hundred mercenaries will be responsible for maintaining public security here.

The food, drink, defecation and sensation of tens of thousands of people, plus those horses and animals, are consumed in tens of thousands of kilograms of food every day!

There is no need to worry too much about such a huge consumption figure. Polomir has purchased a large amount of food in Rova City, as well as Chen grain from the Tulips' border guard army. In addition, Ade was also left by Chen Daolin in the capital Mulan City and continued to collect food.

The first priority is: building a city!

But building materials are always needed to build a city!

This place, on the loess slopes in the distance, are barren land, and the land is barren. Some of the vegetation I occasionally see is short and fragile. If you want to cut down big trees to build a house, you can't even imagine it.

As for the stone...

Montoya could roughly take a look at the nearest branch of Mount Kilimaro, which can be used as a quarry site... but that place is at least dozens of miles away from here!

If you want to build a city, you will pick the stones from the mountain dozens of miles away, and then transport them for dozens of miles to transport them here... Just thinking about them is enough to make people's teeth sore!!!

However, Chen Daolin was full of confidence.

After settling down the large group of people, Chen Daolin even had the mood to take the elf out for a long time with the horses.

The two of them rode their horses and galloped on this vast wasteland. He even had the mood to take people to a loess slope not far away to play a wild barbecue game.

After being crazy outside for three days, Chen Daolin ran back with his mud all over his body.

The first thing he did when he came back was to gather a group of craftsmen in white believers' robes and issue a series of instructions.

More than two thousand laborers were mobilized. After receiving the tools, they teamed up to the nearest loess hillside the next day.

Then, under the loess hillside, two hundred craftsmen worked day and night, and soon formed a row of crypts that Montoya was very curious about when he saw it.

What made the Holy Knight even more puzzled was that after the construction craftsmen recruited this time accompanied Chen Daolin for a afternoon of conversation, these people seemed to be crazy, and they took Chen Daolin and handed them to some strange drawings. Most of them were full of surprise and excitement. They pinched the drawings in their hands, as if they were pinching some treasure.

Thousands of laborers running to the loess hillside began to be busy. Their job was to dig mountains!!

A large amount of loess was dug out.

Seeing these guys, like hardworking workers, digging out a small gap on the loess hillside at a speed visible to the naked eye... it was as if some monster had chewed hard on the hillside.

The stream of that river was led over...

A large amount of loess was dug up and transported...

More crypts were built...

After a few days and nights, that morning, the group of construction craftsmen howled excitedly, then carried a bunch of things and ran to see Chen Daolin crazily.

Chen Daolin soon found Montoya, then pointed to the pile of things placed under his feet, and smiled at the Holy Knight, "See? We have the materials to build the city, this kind of thing is called...loess bricks."

Montoya didn't say anything. He knew that Chen Daolin asked him to come not just to show off, but to have a deeper meaning.

"There is nothing else in the northwest, but loess is everywhere. If loess is used to grow farmers, it is naturally not good. But it is perfect for burning bricks." Chen Daolin said this and smiled: "The details of this are not to be explained much to you. I only tell you that we don't have to work hard to quarry, nor do we need to send people to cut down trees in the Kilimaro Mountains. The building materials are right beside us, at our feet, everywhere."

Having said this, Chen Daolin paused deliberately. He looked at Montoya's expression carefully. Seeing that although the Holy Knight was relieved, his face was still calm. Chen Daolin nodded with satisfaction: "However, there is still a difficulty that you need to solve."

"Sir, please tell me."

"Burning bricks naturally requires fuel. But you see, it is not enough to rely on burning firewood. It is too low in efficiency and consumes too much. The most important thing is that there are too few trees here, which is not enough to supply our large amount of bricks. So, I need you to bring people and find me something in the Kilimaro Mountain."

Montoya nodded calmly, his face remained unchanged: "Sir, what do you need me to look for?"

Chen Daolin pondered for a while, and he took out a drawing and handed it to Montoya.

"I don't hide it from you. This drawing was something I got accidentally. I once got a note of alchemy materials handwritten by Du Wei, the Duke of Tulip in the past. The note of that material happened to record some interesting things. The original Duke of Tulip found something in the mountains of Kilimarro, and also happened to draw a simple map and mark it in that note."

Montoya's face changed slightly!

Notes left by the first Duke of Tulip?! That must be something amazing!

"That's what I need to look for?" Montoya took a deep breath.

"Yes, this thing is... coal! Yes, you heard it right. The note of the first Duke of Tulip was recorded in the branch of Mount Kilimaro, which is closest to here. There is a small coal mine vein, and... if he recorded it correctly, it is still an open-pit mine vein. Although the reserves are not large, we are more than enough to use it!"

...

"Is the message accurate?"

In the great Duke's mansion in Loulan City, Du Wei frowned slightly at the pair of beautiful black eyebrows, then relaxed gently, and a little emotion appeared on his face: "This guy is really hard to do."

The Duke's study is naturally very wide. There are thick carpets under the feet, the walls are covered with various murals, and even the corners are decorated with gold.

Du Weiwei stood in front of her table. She was not even wearing shoes. She stood barefoot on the thick carpet. Her pair of snow-white slender feet looked particularly white on the scarlet carpet.

Fiona was standing in front of Du Weiwei.

At this time, Fiona was not the same as she was in the imperial capital. This beautiful mature woman with plain faces faces her, without any decorations and formal clothes with plain colors, exudes a mature and capable flavor.

Standing in front of Du Weiwei, Fiona lowered his head and said carefully: "He kidnapped tens of thousands of people from Mulan City a few days ago. I heard that Governor Fiolo had been having a headache for many days. However, the Governor's Office did not make any stops. I think... this guy seems to have spent a lot of money in Mulan City. And he also left people in Mulan City to continue to collect food. It is said that his purchase volume is very large. This month, the price of grain in Mulan City has increased by 20%.

Du Weiwei didn't say anything, but looked at the wall beside her. Her eyes seemed to be staring at a mural, but she was obviously absent-minded and thinking about something.

"besides……"

Fiona quickly raised her eyelids, looked at Du Weiwei, then quickly lowered her head, and said in a more cautious tone: "I also learned something..."

"Say." Du Weiwei's expressionless face.

"It's...it has something to do with our troops stationed on the border."

Du Weiwei's face then showed a strange smile, and a bit of mockery was revealed in this smile: "Oh? What did those guys do?"

"..." Fiona hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "What else can it be... The military supplies are nothing more than doing some tricks quietly, doing some work on logistics supplies, and seeking some benefits - it has always been like this! But they are not too much, and they are all doing small actions within the framework allowed by the rules. They are nothing more than handling old grains and handling eliminated military supplies. You know, our Tulips' things have always been of excellent quality and much better than those on the market! Even the old goods eliminated by the army are no worse than the new things, and they are all popular everywhere."

When Du Weiwei heard this, a trace of cold flashed across her face, and then she shook her head: "Forget it, I have been taking over the family for a short time, and many disadvantages cannot be eliminated at once. As long as they can't make trouble, I can tolerate these people for a while. When I free up my hands in the future, I will always clean up these things."

Fiona looked strange: "It's just... this time, it's related to that guy."

"oh?"

"I received a report yesterday that it was the border army that wanted to deal with the old grain from Nancang. I didn't think much about it, and it was time to deal with the old grain. But I looked it up curiously, but found that the old grain was processed this time, and the following report said that it was sold all to grain merchants in Nulin Province, and the delivery location was...Rova City."

Du Weiwei's eyes lit up and she said nothing.

Fiona continued, "A few days ago... that guy happened to arrive at Rova. He arrived at Rova, and our border army sold a batch of grain to Rova... If this matter had nothing to do with him, I wouldn't believe it if I beat him to death."

"Don't say you're beaten to death, I don't believe anyone who beats to death." Du Weiwei smiled with a pursed lips. She tilted her head and thought: "There should be a lot of Chen grain in Nancang, the border."

"It's enough for ten thousand people to eat for more than half a year." Fiona's tone was very calm.

"Ha!" Du Weiwei couldn't help laughing, but the laughter was a little strange: "So, I had helped that guy accidentally once? Otherwise, his more than 10,000 people would have drunk the northwest wind in the wilderness outside Rova City?"

Du Weiwei's tone was very strange. How could he dare to answer such calls? This shrewd woman really couldn't figure out what the relationship between her duchess and the guy named Darling Chen was with him. How could she dare to interrupt?

Du Weiwei walked slowly a few steps, walked around the table, and sat in the chair behind the table. She stretched out her finger and tapped her gently on the table...

After a while, the duchess raised his head, and a cunning smile appeared on his clear and bright face.

"Fiona."

"What are the instructions for the sir?"

"I remember... the Third Cavalry Regiment of our family's family's army had an old war horse that was about to be replaced, right?"

"...Yes." Fiona nodded calmly.
To be continued...
