Chapter 241 The Envoy of the Royal Court of Xia
Black Well Town maintains the original pattern, using large amounts of food to maintain sustenance through human merchants, and then selling iron ore at relatively low prices, thanks to the addition of dozens of giant tree men.
The amount of iron ore mined from black wells doubled again, and then entered a bottleneck period. Although it was growing, it was very slow.
Let Heijing remain profitable, but not exaggeratedly.
In the final analysis, for the sake of keeping a low profile and silence, some iron ore was mined, but it was piled deep in the mine and was not transported out.
Even the iron-making furnaces and steel-making furnaces built by the hobgoblin craftsmen were dismantled overnight, and all traces of the corpses were destroyed.
Vongeldahast's visit made Gavin suddenly realize something.
You can only eat as many bowls of rice as you have. You must not eat more and occupy more before you have the ability to match it. This will make you die quickly and miserably.
The reason why Heijing was able to develop was not because of his outstanding vision or ability.
Instead, we made a mistake at the beginning and took the right path, allowing everyone to make money and have their interests divided.
They had just acquiesced to the development and growth of Heijing.
Including the Red Crow, who seemed to be in competition with them, also got a share of the black well.
As the high road became active, they naturally had more employment tasks. Some part-time businessmen even started running the black well line. They made a lot of money in just a few trips, thus attracting more red workers.
Crow mercenaries join the ranks.
There are currently two caravans with the largest trading volume with Heijing Iron Mine. One is Qianshou, an old friend from the beginning, and the other is Red Crow.
If Gavin were to develop iron and mines, organize his own caravan, and monopolize all the profits, then he would be surrounded by enemies in the rocky land and would be unable to move even an inch.
Until there is no matching ability, it is better to suppress this thought for the time being.
This does not mean that Gavin has stopped exploring iron and steelmaking. Instead, he has moved the relevant experiments to Yingya Town, tried them on a small scale, and accumulated as much experience as possible. When the time is right, it will not be too late to carry out large-scale operations.
With the arrival of the Purple Dragon Patrol, this pattern of interest division has been further solidified.
These elite patrol teams have shown why they are famous all over the world.
Not only are they all professionals, they also have a strong desire to fight. After settling in, they did not wait for things to happen, but took the initiative and plowed the mountains on both sides of the high road repeatedly.
Regardless of whether it is a monster's nest or a bandit's nest, all will be destroyed regardless of the reason.
After the Dragon Oak Territory's struggle in the past half year, these forces themselves were not much left, and now they have completely disappeared.
Near the Heijing Iron Mine Trading Plaza, there are two purple dragon patrol teams (one hundred people) stationed all year round, which serve as a kind of surveillance and protection of Heijing Town.
Except for more than a hundred kobold militiamen and defensive equipment, Gavin did not retain much defensive force here.
Now no one dares to touch Black Well Town, because touching this place is equivalent to touching the cake of the Kingdom of Cormyr and destroying it in a minute.
Although the confidentiality of Eagle Cliff Town is not that high, it does not have direct contact with the outside world. Whether it is directly seeking refuge here, or the kobolds who seek refuge in Black Well Town and are transferred here, they are just like following a bottomless pit, and will never be seen again.
their figures.
The number of kobolds in both Yingya Town and Heijing Town has always remained at around five thousand.
This volume is enough to resist most prying eyes, but it is not too eye-catching, and at the same time it can create maximum value.
The extra kobolds naturally entered the mother dragon oak tree through the dragon oak portal.
The Dragon Oak Mother Tree is so large that the number of kobolds who have moved here has reached as many as 20,000, and less than one-third of the entire inner dark area has been developed.
It shouldn't be a problem to place one hundred thousand kobolds here.
This goal cannot be achieved in a short time.
The kobold tribe in Dragon Oak Territory has been almost wiped out by them.
They were in silence on the material plane, and without causing trouble, not many kobolds came to seek refuge.
The current growth of the kobold population mainly relies on self-reproduction.
With sufficient material supplies and safety guaranteed.
The kobolds have demonstrated their greatest ability to still thrive in this dangerous world - the ability to survive.
The female kobold's gestation period is only three months, and she lays at least three eggs at a time, and as many as five or six.
Conception can occur within ten days after the egg is laid.
If there are no restrictions, a female kobold can give birth to at least ten kobolds a year.
The incubation area in the Dragon Oak Dragon's Nest is expanding again and again. It has been expanded from two to five, and is still being expanded. The final goal should be ten.
Each incubation area can accommodate two thousand kobold eggs for hatching at the same time.
Within half a year, the number of kobolds in the mother dragon oak tree will far exceed the number of adult kobolds.
For this reason, Gavin had to implement family planning and eugenics policies for the kobolds.
The reproductive speed of kobolds should follow their own development pace, rather than affecting their own development pace and becoming a burden to themselves.
This year, the number of kobolds in the dragon oak mother tree, including one pack, can be kept at about 50,000. Any more will easily have counterproductive effects.
In Virginia, fruit tree transplantation and land reclamation are in full swing.
They have proven with practical actions that as long as the elves are willing, they are the best farmers in the world, bar none.
Just as Gavin guessed, those fruit trees were driven all the way here by the druids and tree people using their ability to activate trees.
These fruit trees have been artificially screened, and the high-quality ones are sent to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree to take root one after another and become part of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree biosphere.
Inferior ones can only take root around the mother dragon oak tree.
It is much easier for elves to open up wasteland than for ordinary people.
The second-level Stone Softening Technique can turn obstructive stones in the ground into clay and gravel into mud.
The withering of the three-ringed plants will inhibit the growth of those weeds and shrubs, and then wither quickly.
The growth of three-ring plants will cause those fruits, vegetables, and grains to grow rapidly, and even increase the harvest.
The three-ring activated plants will make those trees active and move away from their current positions, which will free up farmland without harming these trees.
The sixth-ring seismic technique can turn hills into flat ground, or directly create ditches hundreds of meters long.
The seven rings control the weather and can create artificial rainfall or disperse excess rainfall, making the entire environment more suitable for the growth of crops.
In just two ten days, the ten kilometers of land around the dragon oak mother tree were all leveled, and the seeds were sown, just waiting for time to germinate.
In addition, the main part of Virginia's palace and the castle of the eladrin, Spring Bud Castle, was also moved to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
Chun Ya Fort itself was not built, but grew.
Most of them can also be driven to the mother dragon oak tree by activating trees.
Not only the Lord of Virginia has made up his mind, but the entire Spring Bud Forest has also made up his mind that they will make the Dragon Oak Mother Tree their home in the future, and the other parts of the Spring Bud Forest will be affiliated with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
The benefits of doing this are obvious.
Although the territory is smaller, the defense force is more concentrated.
For now, they can only stick to it and wait for the day when the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is really activated.
Wherever the dragon oak tree passes, there is a forest of spring buds.
Chunya Castle, which was moved to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, stands at the highest point of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and blends into the canopy of the tree.
In many places, the tree canopy has been reshaped.
In particular, the main hall of Lord Virginia's palace is a huge space expanded directly from the main pole of the dragon oak mother tree using wood plasticity.
Fortunately, Gavin now has energy dragon wings and can fly, making it easier to observe.
If you go to Chunya Fort through the complex trunks, hanging ladders and turntables of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, you will have to go around in circles.
Are there other eladrin visiting?
Gavin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The door to Virginia's main hall was closed, and a small group of fully armed eladrin warriors stood outside the door.
He recognized at a glance that they were not the Yaling warriors of Chunya Forest.
It's not that Gavin has gotten to know all the eladrin warriors in Chunya Castle, but the style of their eladrin armor is completely different from that of Chunya Forest.
The Yaling armor of Chunya Forest is mainly green, inlaid with silver and white, tending to be elegant and light.
The group of elegans warriors standing outside the main hall door are mainly in bright red and inlaid with silver. Each of them is as colorful as a blooming flower. The twelve eladrin warriors are of the same height and stand in a standard posture, like a handle.
Javelin, poke it there.
His expression was as if he was guarding his own palace, but instead the elegant warriors from Chunya Forest were guests.
An acquaintance was standing not far away with a dissatisfied look on his face.
Gavin immediately found a remote place and dropped down, waving to the acquaintance.
Seeing Gavin's appearance clearly, the other party's eyes lit up, and a smile couldn't help appearing on his face. He ran over and said: "Mr. Gavin, you came back just in time, we are here."
There is an annoying guest, please go and help the lord get rid of it."
This acquaintance was none other than Maggie, the maid of Lord Virginia.
This eladrin maid usually dislikes Gavin, but today she smiled at Gavin uncharacteristically, which shows that she dislikes the guests that Lord Virginia is currently receiving.
"First, let's talk about what exactly is going on? Who is the other party? Such a grandiose person." Gavin did not act in a hurry. The other party was also an eladrin, so he must be a friend or not an enemy. He had to understand the situation first.
"Except for people from the Summer Palace, who would treat other people's homes as their own?" Ma Qi wrinkled her nose and said, "This is the eldest prince of the Summer Palace. When he came, he either criticized or pointed fingers. Now he is even more wishful thinking.
, wants to marry us and marry the lord, huh, a fool can't see that he not only covets the lord's beauty, but also wants to take the dragon oak mother tree as his own.
When we were in trouble, they didn't send anyone, let alone request for marriage.
Now we have activated the war state of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, sending envoys and making marriage alliances.
How can there be such a good thing in the world?"
The Lord of Virginia was not the only one who was dissatisfied with the Royal Court of Summer.
It is the unified view of intelligent life in the entire Chunya Forest.
Their long lives endow them with long-lasting memories.
For humans, a century is already a generation, and most people have turned into dust.
But to the fey, it seems like yesterday.
They still clearly remember how the Royal Court of Xia sacrificed the other half of Chunya Forest for the so-called righteousness and the so-called safety of the Fairy Wilderness, and how they ignored the wails of the intelligent life in the entire Chunya Forest and used them as tools to seal the monsters.
environment.
From that day on, the remaining Spring Bud Forest has parted ways with the Royal Court of Summer. They will no longer pay tribute to it or accept their protection. They will protect themselves.
"Let's go, I want to see who wants to take advantage of my woman." Upon hearing this, Gavin immediately walked towards the main hall. Although he knew that the possibility of the Virginia lord agreeing to this request was zero, but
You can't take it lightly, after all, you are from the Royal Court of Xia.
Let's put it this way, even the other half of Chunya Forest was not lost in the hands of the useless giant.
Spring Bud Forest is only one of the twelve major territories of the Summer Palace. It can barely rank among the top five in area. Now it is the second to last. The first to last is an enclave, surrounded by the Winter Palace.
It was only a matter of time before it was incorporated into the Winter King's Court.
"Stop, no one else is allowed in." Gavin and the others were still five steps away from the main hall. The Xia Ting soldiers guarding the door crossed their halberds and scolded them in the elvish language of Yin and Yang.
