Just as he was told, Zong Shen took Luna to find a housekeeper who was on standby on the fourth floor.
Let the butler take them to Baron Bezos.
Vereesa knocked on the doors of the Immortal Lancers and Howie one by one.
Inform them all to get up and get ready to assemble.
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Zong Shen and Luna went down to the first floor.
Walked straight out of the castle.
Just outside the castle, near the tower on the left.
There are neat rows of garden shrubs and flower beds.
At this time, Baron Bezos was holding a pair of pruning shears and pruning the shrubs with concentration.
He trimmed the overhanging branches, stems and leaves to make the shrub look flatter.
For Baron Bezos, gardening is a great way to cultivate himself.
He can gain spiritual satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment by pruning these branches and leaves.
When Zong Shen and the others approached, Baron Bezos also noticed.
He took the initiative to stop what he was doing and jumped down nimbly from the one-meter-high herringbone ladder.
This gardening shrub wall is relatively high and requires a pair of ladders to reach it.
"Brother Zong Shen, are you awake?"
“Is the environment of the guest room not good?”
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Baron Bezos was wearing casual clothes and leaning his pruning shears on the ladder.
He reached out and patted the branches and broken leaves on his clothes, and walked towards Zong Shen and the others.
Zong Shen smiled and first expressed his gratitude to Baron Bezos.
"You are too kind."
“The rooms in the castle are very nice.”
"A few hours of sleep is enough for us."
"Leaving time for sleep is a waste of life."
Hearing what Zong Shen said, Baron Bezos suddenly burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahaha, brother Zong Shen is right."
"Young people should move around more."
"I'll let them prepare breakfast. It will be ready soon."
Baron Bezos was in a good mood and waved to the butler with a smile.
But he was stopped by Zong Shen.
"My lord, don't bother me."
"We are going to go to Bangcheng for a while."
"I have to go to Evans' manor for an appointment in two or three hours."
Zong Shen is going to take everyone to taste the snacks in Bangcheng soon.
By the way, you should also check out what specialties Bosi Bangli has that are worth purchasing.
At this time, Howie needs to take action.
Howie has been very silent since arriving at Bosbon.
This was also true during the dinner, where he and the soldiers gathered together and almost did not speak.
Because of his past experiences, he seems to have some prejudice against the nobles in the kingdom.
Zong Shen did not force Haoyi to do this.
It is enough for Baron Bezos to contact him personally.
This meeting was still very successful. Basically, Bezos responded to Zong Shen's requests.
"Okay then, dear brother Zong Shen."
"By the way, the documents regarding the property in Shangcheng District are already being processed."
"In addition, I also ordered the more than 400 refugees to start gathering."
"It takes about 5 to 6 days to gather and travel."
"It's not easy for so many people to move."
"If you take a carriage, you will need at least dozens of them."
"Unless there is an earthbeast cart."
"We can only resort to bullock carts."
Baron Bezos explained what he had agreed to yesterday early this morning.
Obviously he took Zong Shen's matter to heart.
Upon hearing this, Zong Shen bowed slightly to Baron Bezos and expressed his gratitude.
"Excuse me, sir."
"I have one more thing to ask of you today."
When he said this, he felt a little embarrassed.
However, in this matter, Zong Shen does not intend to continue to have sex with Baron Bezos for nothing.
He came with dinars, friendship is friendship, business is business.
Baron Bezos had a smile on his face again.
"Brother Zong Shen, just tell me directly."
"As long as I can help, I will never shirk it."
He didn't think so much. What Zong Shen asked for was nothing more than water to him.
This is true for both the property and the more than 400 refugees.
Even Zong Shen's willingness to take in those refugees was indirectly equivalent to solving a small problem for him.
The only thing that made Baron Bezos feel a little distressed was the national flag.
The flag was a magic item he asked the magic craftsmen in the giant city to forge.
A total of three sides were built. Not to mention the money spent, the meaning contained in them is very great.
These flags represent Bospan's expansion and experimentation.
In recent years, in addition to developing the city itself, Bospan has also established two large settlements.
One of these two settlements is to the east of Bosbang and the other is to the south of Bosbang.
The population size has reached tens of thousands.
This territorial flag was hoisted in every settlement.
The last remaining piece was given to Zong Shen by him.
It can be said that Baron Bezos still placed great expectations on Zong Shen.
After hearing what he said, Zong Shen stopped being coy and polite.
"Sir, I am going to purchase a batch of cold-warming supplies."
"Including coats, magic equipment for heating, and even sheepskin."
"In addition, I also need to purchase a batch of shelf-stable food."
"Dried meat, sausages, bacon, cheese and all kinds of dry food are all fine."
"If possible, I also hope to purchase a batch of Bosbon military rations."
"Just sell this batch of materials to me at the market price."
Zong Shen said bluntly.
The current food reserves in the territory are quite sufficient.
It can feed everyone in the territory, including the kobolds, for several months.
This includes the supplies collected by Mariel from Xitano Village and the supplies sent back by Tiezhu from Dinan Village.
There are also those military rations collected from the secret supply point of the Calamity Raven Church.
However, after the arrival of winter, food will definitely become in short supply.
The details of the new challenge are not yet known, but if the new challenge also restricts the actions of the lords, a large number of lords will definitely be without food.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Especially at this stage, most lords are unable to be self-sufficient.
Basically, we meet our food needs by going out hunting or buying from indigenous people or buying in the [market].
Aboriginal forces were an important and stable source of food for the lords.
Once a new challenge begins, the possibility of interruption cannot be ruled out.
Therefore, it is still necessary to reserve as much food as possible.
Moreover, the territory now has a Frost Raven version of the ice cellar, which can greatly extend the shelf life of food.
Even if it is not used in the new challenge period, it can still be stored as a food reserve for the territory.
In this way, even if the territory has a larger population, it can still handle it calmly.
When Baron Bezos heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a while.
"Cold protection supplies..."
"There should be fewer of these."
"But I think there should still be some in the warehouse."
"As for food, it's easy to solve."
"It's no problem if you want military rations."
"I can provide you with 12,000 military rations."
"However, these military rations are not very tasty. In order to extend the storage period, they have almost no moisture."
"Each portion of military rations consists of one portion of dried meat and one portion of bread."
“As for other ordinary food, it is even easier to purchase.”
"I'll make arrangements soon."
"The list will be compiled after noon."
"As for the price, don't worry about it."
"Because this is Bangcheng's reserve material, I will pay for it privately to avoid losing money."
Baron Bezos thought about it carefully before saying.
12,000 portions of military rations is not a small amount, as one portion of military rations equals one meal.
According to the standard of three meals a day, it can satisfy the consumption of an army of 2,000 people for two full days.
If you save a little, you can eat two meals a day, or cook dried meat and bread into a paste, and you can eat it for a longer time.
"That's great, Mr. Bezos."
"Then I'll leave this to you."
"You have already helped me a lot."
"I will bear these supplies myself."
After hearing Zong Shen's words, Baron Bezos did not answer, but just smiled.
"These are not big things."
"I have deployed a squadron of state troops and light cavalry."
"They will be roaming the streets near Evans Manor in small groups under the name of patrol."
"This one is a magic whistle, a simple magic gadget."
"Blow it when there is danger."
"The Bangcheng army outside can receive the signal."
"They'll be on the property within minutes."
Bezos took out a silver-white round-tube magic whistle and handed it to Zong Shen.
Zong Shen took the magic whistle and nodded solemnly.
At this time, the Immortal Lancers and Howie were awakened by Vereesa.
All dressed up, they gathered outside the castle.
Baron Bezos asked the butler to notify the servants to bring over the horses from the stables.
The two briefly chatted for a few more words. After Bajie, Black Panther and the Andalusian war horses were brought over, Zong Shen said goodbye to Baron Bezos.
After seeing Zong Shen, Bajie ran over excitedly and nudged the back of Zong Shen's hand with his big nose.
After everyone got on their mounts, they just walked a few steps.
Baron Bezos's voice sounded from behind.
"Brother Zong Shen..."
"How long do you plan to stay in Bangcheng?"
Zong Shen turned around after hearing this.
"We have to leave for the return trip before 0 o'clock tonight."
"The settlement needs me."
Baron Bezos had a look of regret on his face.
"That's such a shame."
"I received the message that my eldest son Hadro will return to Bangcheng early tomorrow morning."
"Two days ago, the Giant City Crusade Army sent Dragon Eagle Knights to ask for help."
"He then took the light riders from Bangcheng to Odo Village to support them."
"He is slightly older than you. I think you might be able to become good friends."
Zong Shen had pretended to be Bosbon's support team before, and now he heard Bezos say this.
It is inevitable that you will feel a little guilty in your heart.
He nodded again and said in a regretful tone.
"That's such a shame."
"I will definitely come to visit Mr. Hadrow if I have the opportunity in the future."
"I believe we will get along very well."
"Mr. Bezos, time is precious now. I will come to you after I finish my appointment at noon."
Zong Shen waved to Bezos, then rode Bajie and led his soldiers towards the entrance and exit of the central area.
Baron Bezos didn't say anything more. He waved his hand and watched Zong Shen and the others leave.
I started to instruct the housekeeper to deal with the supplies.
After Zong Shen and the others left the central area.
Then they randomly chose a direction and walked into the street closest to them.
The whole street was crowded with pedestrians.
In order to avoid being discovered by other lords, Zong Shen replaced his externally displayed name information with Ma Huateng 1988818.
This is a temporary modification made by the strategy module with a little permission.
It can only be used to confuse other lords, but it cannot actually change the name data.
They wandered along the street.
From time to time, go into the shops along the street to look at the products on sale, or ask for information from roadside vendors.
The entire city is rich in supplies and has almost become a distribution point for supplies nearby.
Traveling merchants from all over the country will give priority to Bangcheng as the main place for dumping specialties.
Bosbon itself does not have any special products. What can be considered a relatively rare product is cowhide products.
They use a special treatment process to increase the toughness of the cowhide, making it less likely to crack.
Leather water bladders, belts, leather jackets, etc. made by this process are more durable.
In the lord's terms, it has higher durability.
Unfortunately, this is of no use.
This specialty product does not have many advantages, and cowhide products can be produced independently almost anywhere.
The use of cowhide has a long history for Aboriginal people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The difference between them is the difference in durability.
This advantage alone is not enough for this product to bring huge profits.
Other than that, there are no other specialties in Bosbon that are worth selling.
In terms of agricultural and sideline products, apples and an unknown melon are grown here.
The farmland is mainly wheat, and there are no special crops.
So far, everything has been going smoothly on the Bosbon trip.
Only the air trade route plan lacks a breakthrough.
In fact, Zong Shen had another idea before this.
That is to purchase specialty products from other regions from the lord through the [Market].
However, this plan requires the participation of reliable lords.
Moreover, there must be suitable specialties near the opponent's territory.
Zong Shen listed it as an alternative plan, since Bosbon has no valuable products now.
Then he should also set his sights on the [market].
In the recent [Market], there are still some lords selling some regional specialties.
For example, there is a special kind of spider that lives in some forests in the hills of the western continent.
The silk web produced by this spider is very tough and light.
Unlike spider web monsters, the webs of these spiders are somewhat resistant to fire.
Underwear woven with this kind of silk thread is not only beautiful but also very close-fitting and breathable.
It was sought after by the nobles.
There are many more things like this.
Many lords exchange for as much resources as possible.
Basically, everything that can be listed for sale is placed in the [market].
…
After they walked around several streets in a row.
Zong Shen basically gave up on Bosbon.
He randomly found a snack bar that was reasonably neat and clean.
He put all his mounts on the roadside and led the soldiers into the snack bar.
More than a dozen people filled three long tables.
The shopkeeper came over diligently and handed over the simple menu.
Zong Shen picked up the menu and took a look.
The above are basically some ordinary snacks suitable for civilians.
The status of such a snack bar in Bangcheng is basically the same as that of braised chicken and rice, Lanzhou ramen, and Shaxian snacks on earth.
"Sixteen beef pies."
"Sixteen pieces of butter puff pastry, and sixteen glasses of milk."
Zong Shen said casually, and the shopkeeper nodded and turned back to prepare.
These are all interesting dishes that Zong Shen can recognize at a glance.
There are also things like karaage, potato noodles, and midada batter on top.
Zong Shen simply chose to ignore it, for fear of choosing some dark cuisine.
While everyone was waiting for the snacks to be served, Howie, who had always been silent, finally spoke.
He took the initiative to speak to Zong Shen.
"Sir, after my observation, Bosbon has plenty of supplies."
"Those basic supplies cannot be sold here."
"There are no specialties worth selling here."
"We should look at other aspects."
Zong Shen looked up at Haoyi and nodded noncommittally.
He stretched out a knuckle and tapped the table lightly.
"Then tell me what you think."
"I'm all ears."
Howie shook his head and began to speak his thoughts slowly.
"First of all, Bosbon doesn't have any specialties."
"But it's still a very well-developed state."
“Whether it’s the scale or the flow of people.”
"That gives it enough economic value."
"Baron Bezos gave you a shop yesterday, and we can definitely use it."
"There is still a lot of equipment accumulated in the territory, and the dwarf uncle can also steadily forge sophisticated equipment."
"Including the Moon God Spring, these materials are not only useful to the lords, but also to the mercenaries and free armed forces."
"We can open a store dedicated to selling weapons, equipment and combat supplies!"
Howie said very seriously, this was the result of his thinking for a long time.
Zong Shen didn't answer, but tapped his knuckles on the table rhythmically.
Seeing this, Howie quickly added.
"In addition, there is an idle [primary pharmacy] in the territory."
"Among the books kept by Mariel is "Introduction to Pharmacy". We can definitely train one or even multiple pharmacist apprentices."
"Pharmacies are also in short supply in the city, even low-level ones."
"Medicines and equipment are both unmitigated and profitable commodities, and in a sense, they are all consumables."
"With these two items, we can gain a firm foothold in Bosbon and open up sales."
Zong Shen patiently listened to Haoyi's words and thought about it silently for a while.
There is nothing wrong with Howie's idea, and his thinking is correct.
Since you can’t make money with Bosbon, then just make money with Bosbon directly!
"Your idea is very good."
"But we have to wait until a hundred-kilometer-level space teleportation array is established."
"At that time, we can quickly travel between the territory and Bosibon."
Zong Shen praised him, which helped Howie regain some self-confidence.
Facts have proved that any plan on paper is not as reliable as an on-site inspection.
At this moment, a ragged little boy suddenly walked into the snack door.
This little boy should be between twelve and thirteen years old.
The childlike look on his face has not faded away, and there is a faint ring of down on his lips.
With a straw basket hanging in his hand, he went straight to the shopkeeper who was busy by the stove at the door.
"Hello…"
"I...I would like to trade this basket of wild fruits with you for some beef pies."
"My mother was seriously ill and her stomach could no longer digest wild fruits..."
The little boy timidly said to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper raised his head, glanced at the little boy and waved his hand impatiently.
There are not only nobles and wealthy businessmen in Bosbon, but also many commoners and poor people.
Material prosperity can never belong to everyone.
Most of the wealth is in the hands of a few people.
People like the little boy are not a minority in Bangcheng.
"Go, go, go, this is not the place you should stay."
"Damn little beggar, how can these wild fruits of unknown origin be exchanged for beef pies?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The shop owner waved his hand impatiently.
He also had to make a living, and although his behavior was a bit rough, it was more of a sadness.
Although Baron Bezos has devoted a lot of effort to the development of Bosbon.
But he can't change this situation, just like a person standing in the clouds can't see the scenery in the corner.
The little boy shed tears and knelt directly on the ground.
But the shop owner remained unmoved.
At this time, Zong Shen waved to him.
"Hey, kid."
"Show me your wild fruit."
When the little boy heard this, he stood up quickly, wiped away his tears with his hand, and walked quickly towards Zong Shen.
Holding the straw basket with both hands, Zong Shen could see the wild fruits inside.
The basket contains red fruits the size of thumb joints.
It looks unremarkable, and in the guide tips, it is just an ordinary wild fruit.
There is really nothing unusual about this kind of thing, and it is not enough to be exchanged for beef pie.
But Zong Shen still took the basket.
Rubbing it with his fingers, he took out a 100 dinar.
With a flick of his thumb, he threw it towards the little boy.
The little boy quickly caught the precious dinar with both hands.
Opening his palms, his tearful eyes suddenly opened wide.
“Thank you for your generosity!”
“I will praise you and pray for you!”
The little boy bowed to Zong Shen.
This big coin is enough to buy a lot of food.
Zong Shen just smiled and waved his hand carelessly.
For him, this can only be regarded as a good thing done casually.
His mentality is gradually becoming more open-minded.
As long as you feel comfortable, these are just drizzle.
The little boy stood there and bowed repeatedly, just as he was about to leave.
Just after running two steps, he seemed to remember something.
He dug through his dirty pants pockets repeatedly.
He took out a crystal clear bead.
This bead is as big as a quail egg, and there is a trace of electric light shining inside.
Zong Shen stared at the bead when he saw the information prompted by the guide.
