Release that Witch - Chapter 213

[Chapter 212 Caravan and New Information]

In the second month of summer, which is the day of midsummer, Margaret arrived as promised.

? Bayi Chinese?)〉)〕〕〕〕))>]

This time, the ships brought by the business groups far exceeded the upper limit of the wharf, and many sailboats could only berth by the river, waiting for the previous ship The trestle can only be connected after the unloading is completed.

This made Roland realize that the town’s pier must be expanded.

Graycastle Industrial Company finally successfully completed the task this month, reducing the scrap rate of parts to 40%, and successfully produced three steam engines before the delivery date.

Although compared with the third-generation steam engine currently in use in the town, the foreign trade products produced by the factory are far behind in terms of power, air leakage, noise, vibration, etc., but compared with the first machine, it is already a long way progress.

The Crescent Bay caravan brought a team of 300 craftsmen according to the contract, and Roland placed them all in the industrial park on the south bank of the Chishui River—in addition to building a new wooden factory building next to the original factory building, he also ordered Karl A staff dormitory was built near the river bank in the park.

In order to complete the facility within one month, after the huge logs were transported to the site, Karl was in charge of technical guidance, and Anna cut them.

The wood processing process, which took the longest time, was completed in just two days, but Karl, Anna’s former teacher, was stunned by her new ability. In just half a year, this thin and quiet girl had already Become confident and radiant.

Roland held a sumptuous dinner in the castle to welcome the merchants.

At the same time, Baijiu also appeared in the eyes of everyone for the first time.

“Every time I come to you, there will be something new, and Margaret really didn’t lie to me,” Hogg yelled, “Even the wine is so different, compared to this… this…”

“Liquor,” Margery said.

Li reminded.

“Yes, baijiu! Compared to it, ale and wine are simply tasteless.” He grinned, and drank the wine in his glass. “Your Highness, you must sell me a few boxes of this stuff.”

“I think it tastes too hot, and fruit wine is more suitable for me,” the businesswoman smiled and shook her head.

Roland smiled, “It has something to do with taste. Not everyone can accept high-concentration distilled alcohol. I didn’t plan to promote it, but I just made some by chance for everyone to try.”

In the brewing of alcohol, it is still the mainstream In this era, distilled liquor is obviously a new star with great development potential. For example, liquor, rum, whiskey and vodka in later generations are all distilled liquors with high alcohol content. A series of bartending culture.

However, for the current Border Town, it is still too early to develop this industry.

“Your Highness, I have sent people to collect a lot of information about the things you wrote to me last time,” Margaret said, “After Yongdong was controlled by the church, not much has changed, but the Wolfheart Kingdom’s The resistance was much stronger. It is said that all the church troops gathered in Broken Tooth Castle and could not move forward for more than two months. In addition, King Dawn sent a messenger to Graycastle, thinking that the church’s move was not to eliminate witches at all, but to occupy The mainland kingdom. He called on the two countries to form an alliance to expel the church forces and jointly fight against the Holy City of Hermes.”

“How did the capital respond?” Roland asked.

“The Imperial Chancellor, the Marquis of Wick, rejected this proposal and accused him of being nonsense.” Gamol shrugged, “This matter has caused a lot of trouble in the king’s capital, and even the nobles have not reached a consensus. As far as I know, Many people support the alliance, after all, the church has no sign of returning the ruling power to the successor of Eternal Winter.”

“Tifeco didn’t come forward?”

“The prime minister’s answer must have been ordered by Timothy himself. I have already rushed to the east with the army,” Marlan said with a serious expression, “I heard that a huge fleet landed in Haifeng County and plundered along the coastline of the east, even the churches were not spared. The merchants of the Fjords also suffered.”

“A large number of refugees have appeared in the eastern region, and Hogg and I have taken in quite a few,” Margaret added, “They said that these looters not only robbed money, People were not spared, and everything that could not be taken away was burned, as if the entire eastern region was to be turned into a piece of white land. This is definitely a heavy blow to Timothy, who has just conquered the nobles of the eastern region.”

Timothy’s attack should have been a happy thing, but when he heard that the other party was looting the population, Roland felt heartache. “Those fugitives…”

“Are you interested?” Margaery smiled slightly.

Said, “When I saw that letter, I guessed that you might want to buy a large number of slaves to enrich the labor force in your territory. However, compared with the foreign refugees from Yongdong and Wolfheart, these Graycastle people may not be willing to sell themselves as slaves. ”

I don’t need to use them as slaves. As long as these people are willing to settle in Border Town, they will have food and housing, and they will be paid for their work.” Roland corrected and realized that this was a good opportunity to expand the number of people. , although the news came a bit late, “How many of them are there?

” Too many.”

“It’s okay, I will send someone to screen and lead the way,” the prince said, “Do you need to deal with the officials of the royal capital to take them away?”

“No,” Margaret waved her hand, “They hope you will take this group of people away.”

Take them away, otherwise the relief food will not be enough, and if their number continues to increase, it may lead to a refugee riot.”

After the dinner, Roland returned to the office and called his personal guard Tasa

.

This incident made him realize that his intelligence system was very backward. If he could know about the fugitive incident in the first place, he could have made preparations to bring more people to Border Town.

At present, all his information about the outside world comes from the caravan, and the transmission speed once a month cannot meet the demand at all.

Even if troops are stationed in Fortress Longsong and outposts are established, they can only monitor one area in the western region.

If one wanted to compete for the throne of Graycastle, one had to expand one’s sights to the entire country, or even the entire continent.

Roland doesn’t have so many loyal people to form a complete intelligence team, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.

com The spies and secret agents lurking in various places are even more difficult to talk about.

So he planned to start from the basics first, and arrange some people to go to the capital to collect information gathered from various places.

Not to mention detailed monitoring, at least you can quickly understand the changes in the overall situation, and you will not be as passive as today.

Tasa, who is very familiar with the forces of the underworld in the capital, is the best candidate for the prince.

“You want me to return to the capital with the caravan?” Tasa was stunned.

“That’s right, you have two tasks. The first is to take in the refugees from the Eastern Territory for me. I will send a squad of about 100 soldiers to escort them. I will tell you the detailed screening conditions before the caravan leaves.”

“Yes!”

“Second point, after the refugee wave is over, you will stay in the capital and collect intelligence from all over the place for me. You have dealt with underground rats before, so you should know how to do it, and Margaery’s The caravan will fully support you, and you can ask them directly for the cost of the mission. Unlike the last time I went to Chishui City to spread witch news, this time there is no upper limit on funding.” He put a revolver on the table, “Pay attention to protection Take care of yourself, and hope to hear good news from you soon.”
