The matter of borrowing the City Lord's Mansion to hold an ice jade porcelain tableware auction and a banquet to create momentum was considered to be the consent of Count Theodore.

Yanxing took advantage of the old fox's happiness and proposed the idea of ​​building a road between Newta City and Eternal Territory.

"I came all the way from Eternal Leadership, all of which were grasslands, and there was no difficulty in building a road. As long as there was a clear road between us, the Thunder Swamp and Newta City goods could be circulated quickly.

Our Thunder Swamp has many specialties, not just ice and jade porcelain, flying goggles and watches. We also need Newta City supplies... stone, wood, wine, vegetables, furniture.

In addition, I am planning to reclaim the land I rented to plant wheat when the sowing season comes.

It all requires a flat road.”

Count Theodore was very supportive of building a road to eternal territory. Trade can be mutually connected and can increase taxes in cities.

But thinking of the environment in Newta City at this time, he persuaded Yanxing: "Now is not a good time to build roads. The situation in the windy highlands has been very tense recently. Marquis Anderson asked me to reduce the city's food supply to meet the consumption of war.

The food prices in Newta City rose very quickly, and everything they brought increased.

Now the road construction costs exponentially more than before.”

During the conversation, Count Theodore asked Yanxing to sit on the reading table beside the magic fountain, and then took three books from the bookshelf and placed them in front of Yanxing.

"A Brief History of Magic", "Magic Symbols and Language", "Elementary Science"

Yan Xing picked up "A Brief History of Magic" and read it. The contents are the history of the development of magic and the basic magic theory.

Yan Xing read the book very quickly, and he could still speak to Count Theodore while reading: "I don't have gold, but I have a batch of food. I want to invest this batch of food as funds to build this road..."

Before Yanxing could finish his words, Count Theodore interrupted him and asked, "Do you have food? How much?"

The crisis inside and outside Newta City was oppressed, and food was the basis for maintaining all stability. The food controlled by the lord's mansion was to be used for preparations for war, so Marquis Theodore could only watch the grain merchants in the city raise the price of grain.

If food prices are allowed to soar, it will only exacerbate internal turmoil in Newta City.

Civilians have no food to eat, which will lead to urban riots.

Therefore, the Marquis Theodore is very sensitive to the word "food". When Yanxing said that he had food in his hands, he became excited.

"Not much..." Yan Xing put aside the "A Brief History of Magic" he had finished reading, picked up "Magic Symbols and Languages" and continued to read it quickly, and replied to Count Theodore: "But it is enough to help the mentor push the food price in Newta City to a suitable range.

But my food is not sold directly, it is only paid in terms of wages and payments."

"Why do you have so much food? Of course, this is your business..." Earl Theodore did not go into the source of food. It would be bad if the amount of food that Yanxing could provide was reduced. Anyway, as long as hedges the grain merchants, no matter where the food came from. The old Earl said to Yanxing: "It is an extraordinary period, and it is normal for grain prices to increase. I think that double the food price can be accepted by civilians. If the capital is tight, no one will starve to death. If it is higher, chaos will occur.

At this time, you can go out to build roads and cultivate land, and you can also give those who have no money to eat.

It can not only suppress grain prices, but also build roads at low cost.

Very good, very good.

I support it..."

Seeing that the old fox said support and did not talk about practical issues, Yan Xing pointed out: "The mentor... I don't benefit from building the road that Yongheng leads to Newta City. You can't let me pay all the cost of this road construction.

You should pay the money from the line from the border to Newta City.”

When talking about money, Earl Theodore immediately turned sad.

"Yanxing, I really have no money now. The rainfall in the rainy season this year is very heavy, and the road from Newta City to Storm City has been severely damaged. To ensure the supply of war materials, the entire section of this road must be overhauled as soon as possible.

The repair fee of 100 meters and 5 gold was given to me by the Golden Oak Chamber of Commerce. The 150-kilometer road from Newta City to Storm City was 7,500 gold.

If it were the usual, Newta City could easily take out the money. But... in order to prepare for the war, Newta City's treasury had almost been emptied."

The old fox cried to Yanxing and didn't want to pay for road construction.

Yanxing's mind was full of shiny gold coins and exchange rate formulas.

A gold coin is calculated at 9,000rmb, and 7,500 gold is more than 60 million.

Good good!

Most of the roads outside this world city are rammed earth roads. The Golden Oak Chamber of Commerce just put some soil to make up for the gap, so it dared to ask for 5 gold 100 meters.

He really slaughtered the old fox as a fat sheep.

No... You must not let such a profiteer cheat my mentor.

If you want to cheat, I will cheat.

The water does not flow to outsiders' fields.

Yan Xing closed the "Magic Conformity and Language" and said to the count: "Teacher, let me leave the project from the road from Newta City to Storm City."

Earl Theodore replied: "No... the repair of this section of the road must be completed within two months. Only the road repair team of the Golden Oak Chamber of Commerce can be repaired so quickly.

This is also the reason why they dared to ask me for a high price.”

Yan Xing took the last book "Elemental Science" which was thicker than the other two books and said to Earl Theodore: "Now Newta City has added another road construction team that can quickly build roads.

Mentor, which one of my road construction teams and the Golden Oak Chamber of Commerce’s road construction teams is better, you will know after a competition.”

Seeing that Yan Xing was so confident, Count Theodore really considered changing his home to build a road.

The Golden Oak Chamber of Commerce's approach to putting in trouble is indeed annoying.

Thinking of the detection images of the Eternal Territory again, Yanxing's territory was indeed building a road.

Why not let him give it a try.

Even if he loses to the Golden Oak Chamber of Commerce, at least lets Gal know...he is not the only choice.

You can press the price.

"Since you are so confident, I will arrange for your road repair team to compete with the road repair team of the Golden Oak Chamber of Commerce. How long does it take to prepare?"

Yanxing thought about it for a moment.

Last night, he took the time to go back to the real world, and the purchased vehicles and machinery have arrived. Today he seized time to train the driver and understand the rollers. He should be able to get on the road tomorrow.

Didn't Eden say he had a manor outside the city?

Get the vehicle to him first and practice in his yard.

Yanxing said to Earl Theodore: "Tomorrow... my road construction team will be ready tomorrow."

Earl Theodore nodded: "The road construction cannot be delayed for too long. I originally planned to agree to the Golden Oak Chamber of Commerce today and let them start construction immediately.

Now that you want to compete too...

I will inform Gal of this and ask him to prepare for a road construction competition tomorrow."
Chapter completed!
