Chapter 300 Strange ore veins, black oil that can burn(1/2)

King Nebert and Duke Raman were puzzled as to why the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce rented a useless small town.

Although this city is near the capital and looks good, it is precisely because it is near the capital that orcs have gone to the capital to live. Anyway, the housing prices and prices of the capital are not expensive, so there is a better choice, who would stay here?

This place is basically used as a warehouse, and its economic development level is very low.

When King Nebert took a try and said that he would use this small town as a mortgage, Rat Daqiang agreed without much thought.

After repeated confirmation, Rat Daqiang was indeed not joking. After he agreed to mortgage this small town without even a name, King Nebert signed the agreement without saying a word.

The benefits generated by this city in one year may not be as good as the interest rate for a loan of one month, so there is no problem at all if you rent the city to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce for a hundred years.

Of course, this also has certain conditions.

For example, although the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce has absolute freedom in this city and does not even have to pay taxes to the king, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce cannot recruit soldiers on a large scale, but it is OK to recruit some people on a small scale.

After all, King Nebert was afraid that the other party would return to the backlash after it grew stronger. Although the other party seemed harmless, there should be some precautions.

In response to this, Rat Daqiang said of course there is no problem.

He is here to do business, not to fight, so why are he recruiting so many soldiers?

However, necessary security measures must be taken. He did not believe in King Nebert, but did not believe in others. In the future, others would definitely be jealous of those who saw the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce making a lot of money here and had to be careful.

After the matter was almost done, King Nebert explained that from now on, this small town belongs to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce.

Nebert bought the supplies he used to borrow one million gold coins to buy, and he just had to wait. After Rat Daqiang explained the matter about Hongye Bank, he went to this nameless small town.

This small town actually has no name, but because there are too many names and there is no unified name, it eventually becomes a nameless town.

The first thing that Rat Daqiang did when he came here was to give the city a new name.

"Xincheng. Is this name like this?"

Rat Daqiang turned his head and asked.

The one around was the orc captain who first met Rat Daqiang and others, named Marchi. In order to facilitate Rat Daqiang's work, King Bennett sent Marchi to Rat Daqiang's side.

"Good name!"

March nodded immediately in agreement.

In fact, he felt that this name was better than to choose it himself, but there was no way, who would let him be the celebrity in front of His Majesty the King?

Speaking of which, he not only saved a lot of money in Hongye Bank, but also bought insurance at Hongye Bank. He has a good impression of this Rat Daqiang.

When he heard the praise, Rat Daqiang was very proud. Zhang Feng would not ask about these small things, but it depends on his performance. Since the local Maqi has said good names, there is no problem.

Zhang Feng has already planned the purpose of this "new city".

It is not about building such a tall city, but about building it into a factory in the orc world.

In the orc country, resources may be relatively scarce, but the population is really large. It is difficult for Zhang Feng to understand. How could such a barren place be so powerful?

But this is a good innate condition for Zhang Feng.

Because compared with humans, orcs have much stronger strength and endurance.

What's more, such as 996, 007, are all slightest. Even if you have enough food, you will have no problem working for three days and three nights in a row.

Therefore, such high-quality labor is not wasted.

If Zhang Feng wants to influence or even control the orc country economically, it is not enough to rely on banks alone, and he must have industry. Danga is his first stop in his experiment.

The name change of the new city did not cause much sensation. Now that Red Leaf Bank has spread to the Danga country, people from other cities are also rushing towards the capital. Some people want to save money, but more people want to borrow money. After all, the war may come at any time. If you have more armed points, you will have more chances of winning.

But soon, the new city came into everyone's sight.

Because the new city has started recruiting workers at a high price.

If you want to build this place into a factory, you must first build infrastructure. Although Xiong Ba brought a group of people before, those people are still far from enough, and the factory does not need construction workers of very high level. As long as the level is similar and the number is enough.

It took three full days to recruit workers.

Even King Nebert was a little shocked. He calculated the price given by Rat Daqiang in preliminary calculations. In the next month, Rat Daqiang will probably have to pay a salary of 500,000 gold coins. In addition to buying some raw materials such as stones and wood, it is estimated that more than one million gold coins will be available!

This is really a big project!

At this moment, King Nebert even had some bad thoughts in his mind.

This Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is so rich, if...

Soon, he shook his head and killed this dangerous idea.

In the eyes of the other party, millions of gold coins were not blinking, and he could even lend him one million gold coins without interest. Even if this kind of force is not the Tianlang Empire, it is probably similar to the Tianlang Empire. If you dare to fight them, you will be seeking death!

The reason why the country of Danga has existed for so long is not because of his caution!

Nebert made up his mind that he must maintain enough respect for this Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce and restrain his subordinates, and must not provoke them for no reason.

However, what Nebert didn't know was that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce actually used the money from the "Red Leaf Bank Danga Branch".

In other words, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce used their Danga orcs to pay them their salary.

After these orcs get their salary, they deposit it in Hongye Bank. It can be said that this creates a perfect closed loop.

As long as they don’t withdraw all their deposits, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce will have a steady stream of funds.

Of course, this does not mean that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce has made a fortune completely without creating any value. On the contrary, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce uses the money of the orcs in Danga to help them carry out construction, and the ultimate goal is good.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be a win-win situation.

Because there are enough supplies, even without steam engines and other machinery, the construction of the new city will be extremely fast.

In just one month, the entire new city was completely renewed.

The wide and tidy roads and tall and beautiful buildings are completely different from the kings next to them.

After the construction of the new city was completed, King Bennett came to see it once. For a moment, he suddenly became a little jealous of the orcs in the new city.

They can actually live in such a good place!

To be honest, this new city looks better than the king's capital except that it is not as large as the king's capital and has more people than the king's capital. King Nebert even thinks that his palace built with countless stones is not as beautiful as the houses here.

With complex emotions, Nebert left and the Duke of Raman stayed.

He is different from King Nebert. The king needs to stay in the capital and cannot go out casually, especially at this time, when an emergency occurs, others cannot find you.

But he is different. He is just an ordinary duke and can go anywhere you want.

After seeing the renovation of the new city, Raman immediately made up his mind that he was about to live in the new city!

In addition to looking beautiful here, the comprehensive features are also why Raman likes it.

There are small shops selling all kinds of miscellaneous items, taverns that sell good wine, supermarkets that sell food, etc. The only plan is in order and not messy at all, which is simply too convenient!

When Rat Daqiang saw that Rat actually wanted to settle here, he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Is this city very good?

Isn’t this the most basic one!

This is completely built according to Lord Zhang Feng’s minimum standards. It can only ensure certain functions and has nothing to do with beauty.

But Rat Daqiang did not refuse. Since Raman was willing to live here, let him live, just so he could even advertise.

These days, Rat Daqiang also learned that most of the resources are extremely barren in this orc country, which Bennett calls the orc continent.

Especially food and food, because of the harsh climate, the survival rate of these crops is very low. Even if they survive in the end, the output will be very small. In addition, the orcs have a large appetite, so the food here is even less than enough.

However, there is one thing that is different from humans. Perhaps it is because of its larger size. Although orcs can eat, they can also starve. Humans may starve to death without eating for a few days, but for orcs, they may eat once every half month or even once a month.

This is why these orcs are so thin and are completely hungry.

In addition to food, the water resources here are also relatively scarce. I heard that the largest freshwater lake here was occupied by the Tianlang Empire and is not allowed to be used by orcs from other countries, which has led to many orcs not having suitable freshwater.

Of course, due to the snow accumulated all year round, it is drinkable if it melts, but I don’t know what’s going on. These clean and white snow, once melted, are covered with dirty things. After drinking, they will get sick. Even with the strong orc constitution, they cannot withstand it.

In addition to food and water, there is a resource here that is more abundant, that is, ore.

How much is it? Even this small new city that no one loved before has more than a dozen mining areas around it.

What are iron ore, copper ore, lead ore, clay ore, etc.

But these mines are of no use in the eyes of orcs.

Except for gold and silver mines, few people will mine other ores unless they are particularly large in scale.

Even copper ore, which is a raw material for copper coins, is not willing to develop it.

The reason is very simple. The cost of mining copper ore may be higher than the copper coins you finally obtained!

Except for gold and silver mines that will not lose money, everything else is basically a loss.

Of course, if the mine is particularly large, so large that it can be mined continuously for dozens or hundreds of years, then there is still some profit. But the problem is that such large mines have been occupied by the Tianlang Empire!

The few remaining ones were also distributed by other countries, such as the Danga Kingdom, where there are many mines, but they are all small mines that are tasteless and discarded, and there is not a single large mine in the strict sense.

The small mine is not profitable, so naturally no orcs are willing to do it.

In fact, Rat Daqiang doesn't want these mines because they are really too small to make the most profits, but Zhang Feng told him that he can't just look at temporary gains and losses.

Now if you want to build a new city, you can only start with these small mines. There is no choice. When the new city becomes bigger in the future, you can buy large mines from other orcs, or even from the Tianlang Empire.

Zhang Feng believes that as long as the price is in place, no one will refuse.
