"The most important thing is that there are poor iron ores in many places around Billy City. Many people will secretly mine and refine them into iron ingots and then sell them to the city."
Wilson mentioned a place that Aslan was very interested in. Now their demand for steel is not high, and they can indeed buy it outside the city.
The kingdom implements state ownership of salt and iron. Secretly, the nobleman did not secretly mine or dry salt. However, the kingdom's large salt fields and large iron mines are controlled by the kingdom. Once a large-scale salt field or mine is discovered, it will not hesitate to take over.
At the same time, he was sentenced to severe punishment.
But for those iron smelting workshops that are poor in iron ore and cannot be used for large-scale production, the prosecutors of the Kingdom will also turn a blind eye. This is also the most common occupation for ordinary people in the outer city.
Because the ore produced from poor iron mines is difficult to refine and consumes much more manpower than rich iron mines, the kingdom is too lazy to take care of it. However, for the people at the bottom, the most important thing they lack is manpower, and the least valuable thing is also
human life.
"Very good, Wilson will buy me a batch of iron ingots for the city right away. I'm going to ask Jason to go there in the next few days, about a ton of iron ingots. As for the money, I'll give it to him in three days." Aslan finished listening.
He was greatly surprised and spoke decisively.
Compared with those nobles who looked down on petty profits in the slums, Aslan understood the importance of small profits but quick turnover and accumulation of small profits. He wanted to make good use of the resources in the slums to develop Mero Town.
As for giving money after three days, Wilson has no objection. Who told them that they have no money now? This matter is left to Jason to handle. It is also a test for Jason. If he can't handle such a simple matter, he is not qualified.
Become a Chamber of Commerce leader.
"Okay! Lord, I will make arrangements right away."
Wilson got Aslan's approval and left very excitedly. As for what he was going to do with the ton of iron ingots, Wilson didn't consider it. He even thought that this was a test that Aslan deliberately proposed to Jason.
.
Since the Flame Lady Hotel is the largest hotel in Billy City, it is naturally one of the biggest gold sales holes in Billy City after nightfall.
The first floor was turned into a huge bar, where many prominent nobles and upper-class people from Billy City would come here to kill time at night.
In Aslan's eyes, the bar was very simple, with a huge bar, a few tables, and a few private rooms next to it. There weren't even any dancers, and the music was only played by a few bards.
"That's it for rural places." Aslan was already considering whether he should open a brothel. His past life experience told him that brothels are the best source of intelligence and one of the most profitable businesses.
"it's him!"
A strange voice sounded, and a group of people quickly rushed to where Aslan was. Several of them were armed and menacing, scaring many people who were drinking and having fun and got out of the way in panic.
"Who offended our young city lord?" Someone began to whisper after seeing the appearance of the visitor.
The only heir of the Marquis of Medea, the eldest son Justin.
The person following Justin was Lien, the commander of the Inspection Department of the Outer South City. Lien was also accompanied by a dogleg whose leg was broken by Aslan during the day.
Aslan was very surprised. The commander of the inspection department was so capable that he could even invite the second generation ancestor.
"You are so brave. You, a foreigner, dare to openly attack our officials in Billy City." Justin did not take action as soon as he came up. After all, he had already checked that Aslan was from the Sala family.
Although they are the losers in the family struggle, they are still the Sarah family. If they go too far and affect the reputation of the Sarah family, the Sarah family will not sit idly by.
Therefore, if you want to deal with such an abandoned son of a big family, the best way is to punish him with territorial laws. As long as everything is within the rules, the Sarah family will only turn a blind eye.
To put it simply, both face and lizi must be acceptable. After all, the most important thing for nobles is face.
"Oh, then who are you? And I beat that Billy City official, point it out to me." Aslan said very arrogantly.
He has this confidence. The city of Bili is the magic holy land in the province of Merlocks. Because the Marquis of Medea himself is a great magician, he has issued a decree that as long as a magician commits a crime, regardless of his strength, he must be punished.
Judge by her herself.
Although Aslan is only a junior magician, he is still within the law. Once the matter comes to the Marquis of Medea, Justin will have to live with it.
"That's him! You openly broke the leg of a Billy City official. What crime do you deserve?"
Justin didn't know that Aslan was also a magician, so he still happily showed off his poor acting skills.
Lien also took the opportunity to step forward, green light emerged, and Gawain rushed out with his sword, but was stopped by a senior knight from the city lord's palace.
"This is the capital of your arrogance." Justin sneered and began to recite a spell silently. A fireball the size of a fist appeared out of thin air and shot towards Aslan.
The people who were eating melon in the bar were suddenly shocked and backed away one after another. Some of the timid ones even ducked under the table.
A fist-sized flame cannot cause any effective damage, but the fireball thrown by the magician is different, because the fireball contains compressed fire elements and will explode when it touches the target.
The fireball spell of a junior magician is as powerful as a personal grenade. This is why magicians in this world are noble and powerful.
Aslan's eyes flashed, and he advanced instead of retreating. His left hand turned into a claw and grabbed the fireball.
"Is this guy scared out of his mind?" Justin was also shocked by Aslan's actions.
Some women even closed their eyes subconsciously after seeing this. They did not dare to watch such a scene of blood and flesh being blown away.
Aslan's hand caught the fireball. The fireball did not explode as expected, but paused briefly.
"Disperse!" Aslan spat out the last syllable, and smashed the fireball in his hand away, but it didn't hurt anyone, it just spattered the flames.
"Dispel the magic! The opponent is a magician, and he is also a master."
The middle-aged man who had been standing next to Justin, looking lazy from beginning to end, suddenly shot out two rays of light from his eyes.
"Light body technique!"
Aslan took advantage of the moment when the flames spattered and cast another zero-level magic. His whole body instantly lightened up and turned into a sharp arrow that shot towards Justin.
The middle-aged man suddenly grabbed Justin's shoulder and blocked him behind him. The ring on his right hand glowed yellow, and an khaki shield suddenly appeared in front of him.
Aslan's fist stamped on the shield, and a violent explosion rumbled, overturning everyone in the center of the battlefield.
