Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 183 181. Exploring the Ruins
"The taste of this fermented bean curd is so special, salty and fresh." During dinner at night, Kaiyi, a centaur girl, deliberately ate a small mouthful of fermented bean curd. The unique taste and texture seemed to open a new door.

"You can have porridge, which tastes better, or baked naan." Rante wanted to find more specialties for his territory, including non-staple food and light industry, so that the people in the territory would have something to do and their lives would be better. Richer.

"By the way, Master Ben Kaur should arrive tomorrow, right?" Rand asked.

"Yes, my lord, the courier who arrived today said that Master Ben Kaur has arrived at East Station 2, and he will be there at noon tomorrow." Pete Maned Wolf, who was next to him, quickly answered when he heard Rand's inquiry.

Lante numbered all the post stations around Yeqi City, and the station No. 1 is the closest to Yeqi City according to the direction.

向罗特方向的就是南1、南2，向盐矿方向的就是东1、东2，本·考尔到了东2驿站说明他距离夜麒只有80公里了。

Every morning, Yeqicheng sends a group of urgent deliveries to the east and south. Letters are relayed between the post stations at the fastest speed. Happening.

"My lord, we don't have many gold coins, and there are less than 23000 gold coins in the account." Rand successfully spent half of the gold coins in two months, most of which were magic goblins, space rings, monster meat, food, building materials, Decommissioned equipment, ships and clothing.

光是5个空间戒指和7个魔法妖精和凯伊就占了16000，兰特能剩下25000还是陆续交付了接近60匹黑鳞马和50套铁甲之后收回了8000金币的尾款。

At the same time, Rand owed at least 20 black-scaled horses and 30 sets of iron armor, which needed to be brought to the capital by the Blue Dragon family and delivered to the relevant families.

As for the more than 2000 gold coins earned by the various alchemy equipment made by Wendy and others, they were left in the Chamber of Commerce in the Royal Capital and Maned Wolf City as a working fund.

Now Rand needs to buy magic grains, potions and food from the two cities regularly, and the import cost is much higher than the export profit of salt.

"You request to set up a power boiler room in the north of the city, the south of the city, the magic workshop, the workshop area in the east of the city, the palace, and the Roth castle." Zhenqin held the territory construction plan in one hand and the bill in the other, her brows were tightly frowned.

"We still have 3 pieces of waste equipment waiting to be paid, and we need to pay 1000 gold coins for these. In addition, we need to buy some city defense equipment, bed crossbows, trebuchets, which are also a lot of money. In addition, you also need to order about 100 horses A draft horse and about 100 ordinary war horses will cost about 5000 gold coins."

Lante put down the knife and fork in his hand, and listened to Zhenqin's report, the food was not delicious.

"I will find a solution as soon as possible," Rand sighed. Now that the territory is in ruins, the black-scaled horse can no longer be sold after paying 20 horses. It is necessary to ensure that the knights' mounts and horses multiply.

Rand bought war horses and draft horses in the hope of freeing the black-scaled horses used for express delivery and pulling carts in the post station.

"My lord, according to your planning requirements, we need at least 1000 people in the salt mine, Yeqidong Industrial Zone, and the workshop area in the east of the city." After Zhenqin reported the lack of money in the territory, it was Laniya who reported the lack of people. Happening.

"As for the skills in the palace now, how many more than 200 people are needed if they develop into an industry?" Laniya finished eating, and also took out a stack of forms. These are the lists of the vassals.

"Most of the non-magic people who have defected to several tribes are barbarians north of the Benma River or west of the Luoyue River. The proportion of human slaves in their tribes is very small, and even fewer can be replenished in the workshop."

The barbarians in Benmahebei do not have the industrial integration like the Gray Goose tribe, and have little demand for the human race.

"In terms of population, the Dugan and Joyasen families in the royal capital will move a wave of leaders to their inn, which can save me 100 people, and I have to figure out a way for the rest." Rand's voice became smaller and smaller. , In the end, I didn’t even believe that there was any way to get 1000 people out.

"How about..." Rand raised his head suddenly, "How about I sell some antiques in the palace for money, and then recruit workers from the imperial capital?"

. . .The whole restaurant was frozen in embarrassment, Makoto and Laniya just pretended not to hear.

Nila's eyes widened and her mouth was pursed, with an expression that she wanted to say but didn't dare to say. She couldn't bear to point out that Rand was a great descendant.

"Why didn't you respond at all, I'm not going to dig up the royal tomb, we can mortgage the jade carvings in the stair hall to the merchants in the imperial capital first."

"My lord? Didn't Queen Padmira come to look for you from the magic net?" In the end, the little cardinal who was promoted by the Fairy Queen was the first to ask, "I feel that she cares about these things."

"That's right, my lord," Pete Maned Wolf added cautiously, "things in the palace cannot be sold casually, and no merchant in the imperial capital dares to accept them. What's more, the sacred Supreme Council has not yet recognized you as ruling Yeqi City. rights."

"Well, that's right, after all, it belongs to the ancestors, so you can't sell it casually." Rand thought for a while, "You can explore and explore in the next two days. Since the treasure can't be sold, see if there is a vault, even a scrap iron pile. " Lante hoped that the ancestors of the Benma family would leave something useful for him.

. . . .

There will always be one or two shortages of population, money, and food. If there is no shortage any day, it means that the development of the territory has reached a bottleneck period.

On the 10th, there were fewer things to do in Rand. In the morning, I went to the south of the city to see the construction of the grain warehouse and mill. A field was to be built in the south of the city, and the supporting facilities should be completed before the plowing started.

When I was free in the afternoon, I explored the underground area of ​​the palace before Ben Kaur came back.

"It's still a magical world. I go to school, go on blind dates, and develop products every day." Touching the magic circle on the wall of the underground hall, he said to himself, "It's only here that I can really feel magic. "

After entering the second floor of the underground ruins, he could only barely recognize the direction through the dim light of various magic circles on the walls and the ground. Lante went back to find the various rooms that the queen said the day before yesterday based on his memory, such as the third underground floor. The training room for training the magic circle was once used as a transmission hall for the royal palace to communicate with the imperial capital, and there is also a rescue room that functions like a hospital.As well as the emergency communication room with a function similar to that of the salt mine, Rand also found the [Emergency Communication Room] nameplate marked in the hometown text outside the door.

The doors of all these functional rooms are closed without exception. Because they are opened and closed by magic, Rand can't even find a keyhole. The only thing that can be entered is the magic furnace room in the center of the third floor.

Contrary to Lant's imagination, although the magic furnace on the third floor of the ruins is much thicker than the one in the salt mine, it is about the same height. I feel that the power of the two should be about the same.
