Chapter 112

Looking at Andy's suspicious gaze, Locke didn't know what to say, the slap in the face came too fast.

But he can't be blamed for this, who would have thought that this toilet is better built than the surrounding houses.

Unless this toilet is for the exclusive use of the lord, aren't toilets private? Why are they built in residential areas?Could it be that the lord here has any special hobbies?
Locke couldn't help but ask the militiamen who led the way:
"Excuse me, is this place close to the castle?"

"It's not very close, but we have to walk for a while."

"Then why did your lord build the castle's toilet here? Wouldn't it be troublesome?"

"Who said this is the lord's toilet? The lord's toilet must be in the castle."

The militiaman glanced at Locke and thought that this man was not a fool.

Locke naturally saw the meaning in the militiaman's eyes, and he asked with an embarrassed look:
"Except for the lord, who is qualified to own such a toilet?"

"Us, this is the public toilet specially built for us by the lord."

The militiaman replied proudly.

"What? Public toilets? How is this possible!"

Locke had an expression of disbelief on his face.

It wasn't until he saw civilians walking out of the toilet that he confirmed that this toilet was really a public toilet for civilians.

But why?Are there any benefits to building public toilets for civilians?

Locke suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and looked at the streets he passed, guessing Ryan's intention of building a public toilet.

"It's normal for Director Locke to not understand. After all, the lords of small places always have some strange ideas and cannot be treated with common sense."

Andy comforted from the side, but everyone could hear the gloating in his tone.

Locke did not pay attention to him, but then asked the militiamen:
"Besides this toilet, are there public toilets in other parts of the town?"

"Yes, three toilets have been built now, and the fourth toilet will be completed soon."

"What's the use of building so many toilets? I really don't understand what the lord of this place is thinking."

Andy continued to interject.

The militiaman glared at Andy. Did this guy know how to speak? If Captain Raymond hadn't repeatedly emphasized that they were the lord's guests, he would have let the rock dog bite!
The militiaman suppressed his anger and said:

"Of course the toilet is built for shitting. Could it be that this noble Hakka's toilet is used for something else? Then I've learned a lot!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and led the way, leaving Andy to yell and curse angrily from behind.

"What does he mean by saying this? Are you mocking me? How dare a mere Warcraft user speak to me like this! He is indeed a ruthless man born in poor mountains and rivers! If he were in Guanhai City, I would have to let his whole family suffer. Punishment is impossible!"

Locke rolled his eyes quietly when he heard this.

You also know that this is not Guanhai City, you really think that people in other places have to spoil you.

He really couldn't understand why such a shrewd businessman as the vice president would train the next generation to be so stupid.

Not only Andy, I heard that several other children of the vice-president were also used to being lawless and causing trouble in Guanhai City all day long.

But the vice president's eldest son is obviously very smart. Could it be that he is really what he suspected before?

Locke turned his head and glanced at Andy, his eyes no longer contained disgust, but a little more pity.

It seems that the vice president has chosen the heir early, and in order not to let the other children pose a threat to the eldest son, he even went so far as to train them into playboys.

This is not an unfounded speculation by Locke. He has long suspected it. He has been with the vice president for so many years and knows the vice president’s character very well. He is very likely to do such a thing for the sake of the stable inheritance of the family. of.

Although the risk of cultivating only one heir is a bit high, it is much better than the next generation killing each other for inheritance rights, and avoids the risk of the family being torn apart.

What's more, he doesn't just ignore other children, he will still consider their future, such as placing Andy in the team that talks about cooperation on this trip.

If the cooperation is negotiated, then he will have reason to arrange a position for Andy. Not to mention anything else, the position of a supervisor is indispensable, but Andy may only be able to be a supervisor in this life, and there is absolutely no chance of getting involved. Family power.

It seems that in the future, he will get closer to the eldest son of the vice president.

In the past, Locke only suspected that the vice president might do this. After spending the past few days with Andy and thinking about it, he had determined that the vice president thought so.

That being the case, Andy's capriciousness and stupidity are justifiable. After all, it is difficult to educate a person well, but it is easy to teach a person badly.

Thinking of this, Locke stopped preaching to Andy out of pity, but explained softly:

"Master Andy, you don't need to know him as well. He is just a small militiaman. He doesn't know your status. When I see the lord here, I will let the lord punish him."

Andy couldn't help showing a surprised expression when he heard Locke calling him master.

His father emphasized before the team set off that everyone in the team must listen to Director Locke's instructions. In order to establish Locke's dominant position, he also specifically stated that Locke was not allowed to call him master and would only treat him as an ordinary clerk.

And Locke has always done this. He never called him Master along the way, and he always lectured him. Why was he suddenly so polite to him now?
Before Andy could think about it, he heard Locke continue:
"The lord of Firefly Town is named Ryan, right? I heard he's not very old, but his ideas are pretty good. At first, I didn't understand the purpose of building so many toilets for civilians, until I took a look at the street. of the ground.”

"Didn't you find that the streets of Yinghuo Town are very clean? Unlike other towns, the streets are full of excrement, and there is no place to step down. This is the function of public toilets."

"Residents all defecate in public toilets. Naturally, there will be no excrement on the streets, so the streets here are even cleaner than Guanhai City."

"Although the merchant gathering area in our Guanhai City is relatively clean, other places are still dirty. I think their method of building public toilets is worth learning from Guanhai City."

After hearing Locke's words, Andy said with some disdain:

"Director Locke said it lightly. Do you know how many people there are in Guanhai City? How many toilets will be built? Who will pay for it?"

"No chamber of commerce will pay for the construction of toilets for the common people. Anyway, as long as the merchant gathering area is clean, it doesn't matter how dirty other places are."

Locke couldn't refute for a while, and he actually felt that what Andy said was quite reasonable. Businessmen can't afford it without profit. Even if someone paid for the toilet, they would definitely charge the civilians.

Naturally, civilians will not pay for going to the toilet, and they will still defecate anywhere.

It seems that he thought of the problem too simply and did not see the problem as thoroughly as Andy did.

"You are right, I didn't think well, but this also shows that Lord Ryan is a very thoughtful person, and he was able to come up with a way to build public toilets to make the streets clean."

"Hmph, the toilet or something, it's still not on the table after all."

Locke saw the angry expression on Andy's face and knew in his heart that he was not convinced by Ryan. After all, the two were about the same age, so he would definitely compare subconsciously.

Compared with Ryan, who became a lord at a young age, Andy's identity seemed a bit awkward, and he was naturally unhappy.

That's why he retorted after hearing Locke praise Ryan.

Locke didn't say anything more when he saw this, but let Art continue to explain why he wanted to cooperate with Yinghuo Town.

"Of course, as Master Andy said, there was nothing outstanding in Yinghuo Town before, but since the new lord inherited the territory, some interesting things have happened."

"According to the information, Yinghuo Town first quickly completed the reconstruction of the territory, and also completed the spring plowing ahead of schedule with the power of monsters. A few days ago, it successfully resisted the beast tide in Iron Stone Mountain."

"Everything shows that Yinghuo Town has significantly improved its strength compared to before. The Chamber of Commerce is ready to re-evaluate the potential of Yinghuo Town and carry out in-depth cooperation with it."

Andy was still a little confused after listening to Art's explanation.

"What does the improvement of Yinghuo Town's strength have to do with us? We are just merchants and only focus on buying and selling goods. No matter how their strength improves, there are still no products worthy of our cooperation?"

Locke glanced at Andy in surprise, it seems that this guy is not as stupid as he imagined.

"Firefly Town does not have any special products. The reason why we want to cooperate with them is because Yinghuo Town itself is the best product."

Locke replied meaningfully, and he didn't explain too much. Anyway, Andy probably couldn't understand it, and he was too lazy to waste his tongue.

"Now it seems that Yinghuo Town is indeed developing well. There are so many Warcraft envoys, and even the militia has subdued the Warcraft. No wonder it can successfully resist the beast tide."

He looked at the militiamen ahead and said.

"But didn't Baron Bach say that Firefly Town was able to repel the beast tide with the help of Poseidon Temple? Since they all defected to Poseidon Temple, why should we discuss cooperation with them?" Andy wondered.

"Heh, he's just a baron, so naturally he doesn't have detailed information. The Sea God Temple is going to settle here, and he's a candidate for a saint, but long before the beast horde came, the candidate for a saint returned to the sea with the guardian knights. Temple."

"In other words, the ability to withstand the beast tide this time depends on the strength of Yinghuo Town itself. What's more, Lord Ryan should not be a short-sighted person. It is impossible to give up the protection of the noble circle and seek refuge in something for the sake of temporary benefits. Sea God Temple."

"Even if he really lost his mind and took refuge in Poseidon Temple, it would be easier. We can also provide the benefits that Poseidon Temple can provide. There is no reason for him not to cooperate with us."

Locke said confidently that the strength of the Sea God Temple is stronger than them, but if it is more than money, Guanhai City has never been afraid of anyone except the royal family that has been passed down for a long time.

While several people were talking, the militiamen had already brought them to the castle, and White had been waiting outside the castle for a long time.

After the meeting, the two sides introduced themselves to each other.

When White heard that Locke was a director of the Business Alliance, a trace of imperceptible doubt flashed in his eyes.

He took everyone to the reception room, and then went to the study to inform Ryan.

"Oh? The leader is a director of the Merchant Alliance? This is not a small matter."

Since receiving Aisha and others last time, Ryan has collected information from all parties. Among them, the Merchant Alliance in Guanhai City is the closest to Firefly Town and has had more contact with them before, so it has the most detailed information.

The Merchant Alliance is a force jointly established by the major chambers of commerce in Guanhai City. Its initial purpose was to resist the oppression of the nobles on the merchants and win more benefits for the merchants.

However, with the joining of more and more chambers of commerce, the power of the merchant alliance continued to expand. They used money to attack and quickly seized a lot of power, even taking the lord of Guanhai City empty.

Even the bishops of the Sea God Temple were corrupted by them. After realizing the importance of the alliance, the merchants specially divided the ranks in order to make the merchant alliance more formal.

The lowest level is the apprentices in various chambers of commerce, and the higher ones are the buddies who can participate in the sale of goods, and above the buddies are the shopkeepers and merchants.

The shopkeeper is responsible for the shops inside Guanhai City, and the merchants are mainly responsible for running merchants outside.

Shopkeepers and merchant superiors are supervisors. Supervisors with great power can take charge of several shops and business channels, and are at the upper-middle level in the merchant alliance.

And Locke's director position is the supervisor's superior, and the director not only has management power over the supervisor, but also expresses opinions on various affairs of the alliance.

Before the alliance makes a decision, a vote will be held, and the directors each have one vote, which shows their great power, and their status in the alliance is second only to the vice president and president.

In the past, the Merchant Alliance would send at most one merchant to Yinghuo Town to buy and sell goods. This time, a director came directly. It seems that the plan is quite big.

"Last time, a candidate saint came to the Sea God Temple, and this time the Merchant Alliance sent a director. It's interesting. When did our Yinghuo Town become so attractive? Or do they want to treat us like a persimmon?"

"Forget it, it's useless to think about it now. Let's go see them first. The soldiers will stop us and the water will cover us. I want to see what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds!"

Ryan got up and walked to the reception room.

When he arrived in the reception room, Ryan saw Locke and others.

"You are Baron Ryan. I have heard of your name a long time ago. Now it seems that you are indeed a good-looking talent. It is really a formidable young man to manage the territory so prosperously at a young age."

Locke was very polite and kept praising Ryan.

"Director Locke praised me a lot. Compared to Guanhai City, Yinghuo Town is nothing."

As soon as Ryan finished saying this, he heard a sneer from the side.

"Can any cat or dog now be compared with Guanhai City?"

Andy had a mocking smile on his face.

"What did you say?"

When White heard the words, he was going to take Andy down, but was stopped by Ryan.

He glanced at Andy, turned to Locke and asked:
"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is the son of our vice president, he can't speak, please don't be familiar with him."

Locke now felt very regretful about bringing Andy in. He should have left him outside the city with the guards.

"So it's just the vice president's son. Hearing his tone, I thought it was the viscount of Guanhai City who came to visit."

Lane puts an emphasis on the word "son."

"What are you?"

"Shut up! Say one more word and get out!"

Just as Andy was about to refute Ryan, he was interrupted by Locke's roar.

Being reprimanded by Locke in front of so many people, the expression on Andy's face was very embarrassing.

But he didn't say much in the end, but stepped back silently.

interesting~
Ryan glanced at Andy again, thinking that the other party was the second generation who didn't think long in the previous life novels, but he didn't expect him to be able to bear this tone.

It seems that this son has a reason to stay.

"I'm sorry, he was spoiled by our vice president, and his words are a bit out of his head."

Locke apologized with shame on his face.

"It's okay, I can understand, I used to be like him, it will be fine when I mature a bit more."

"Really? I didn't expect Master Ryan to be rebellious at times. I really can't tell."

After the two were polite to each other for a while, Locke finally couldn't hold himself back and said:
"I don't know if Mr. Ryan has heard of it. Our Merchant Alliance has just changed its name. It is now called the Commercial Mutual Aid Association, or the Chamber of Commerce for short."

"Oh? I really haven't heard of it. Did something happen?"

"No, the original personnel structure of the alliance has not changed. However, the previous Business Alliance only allowed merchants to join, and the current Chamber of Commerce allows lords to join. I wonder if Baron Ryan is interested in joining the Chamber of Commerce, and How about our cooperation?"

oh?Business mutual aid association?
Ryan frowned slightly. It seemed that this business meeting was the purpose of their visit to Yinghuo Town!
