Transportation Channel
Chapter 341:Transportation Channel
“Your Majesty, do you know who sent these people?”After Vader left, Carter approached to ask.
“He who owns the pills, except the church is Tifeco, and now Garcia is far from the fort of the Greys, and it is unlikely that he will yet remember me.”Roland sighed, “Tfeico is more likely than the former, and he does not dare to send an army away from the royal capital easily now, but that does not mean that he will not retaliate against me.”
Fortunately, the attackers in these mixed people carried only pills and were not covered with gunpowder.Otherwise, if it is detonated in the crowd, the efforts of these two months will be wasted.
Roland is not worried that the "death squad" he sent will threaten himself, and on the days when the nightingale is not there, he has taken more than ten guards everywhere, and he also wears the stone of divine punishment.Not to mention drug-monk freaks, even extraordinary witches are difficult to get close to themselves under the suppression of ten wheeled muskets.
He found that it was less than a year before he sat in the position of the lord, and his mentality had changed a lot.If you first come here, it is inevitable to see this kind of situation when you see this kind of position, your legs will be soft and overwhelmed.But just now, although he felt a little nervous, he still pretended to be calm on the surface - he knew that the guards would stand in front of him and stop the enemy, and he could not be the slightest glency as the focus of the masses, and this idea surprised even himself.
“Call the messengers and ask them for details,” Roland said, turning to Barov. “I need to know where these people got on the boat.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”The head of the town hall looked a little gloomy, probably did not expect that the proud men sent by themselves would actually make such a big mistake, quite feeling that there was no face.
"Don't blame them too hard, but ask them first."
After the exiles had all passed the level, Roland returned to the castle office.This time, the news brought back by the messenger's delegation surprised him - in the southern region, there were a large number of displaced people, the Eagle City and the port of Bishhui were destroyed in the war, and many fields outside the city were abandoned.Coupled with this year's strange weather, the temperature in the gray castle has plummeted, and the price of food has been rising, and even the price of slaves has fallen by half.
As long as he can establish a reliable transportation channel, these people can be continuously introduced into the West - in fact, according to the report of the messenger group, after hearing the pioneering recruitment order of the border town, many refugees have begun to move spontaneously to the west.
However, the difficulty lies in the "transportation channel".
The snow of the Devil's Moon covers the entire land traffic, and if you want to pick people in, you can only transport them through the Red Water River, and the border town only has a small town that can't move without a witch, far from meeting the demand - if you want to have ships on the waterway all the time, you have to put at least 20 or so inland sailing boats.
For example, the missionary group sent this time was in such a difficult situation: only a small part of the golden dragons were used to attract refugees, and most of the rest were spent on hiring ships and resettling personnel.At present, only 400 people have arrived in the border town, and more than 3,000 people are still stranded in Liuye Town, Yingguang City and Longling, waiting for the ship to be transported.
Coupled with the fact that the owners of the various ships are aware of the current situation in the western region and will raise the price very high, and the more than 3,000 people alone are expected to be the same as the previous Wang Duda rescue, so it is not a long-term solution at all.Roland thought about the meeting and decided to send a letter of help to the Margari Chamber of Commerce, hoping that the other party could not report a price several times for the sake of lightning.
But if you want to completely cut off this part of the expenditure, you still have to build your own ship - now the quality of steel bars and cement has been greatly improved, it is possible to build a stronger and larger inland water pedial boat, using steam engines as the power to build this red water river traffic line.
...
After lunch, Barov knocked on the door and came in, "Your Highness, the situation is generally clear."
“Say it.”
“A disciple named Seren was responsible for wooing the refugees in the north, and on the way back, due to lack of boat, he contacted friends who had known Wang Du, hoping that they would help inquiring or hire some merchant ships who were willing to go to the west.”Barov sighed, “The news should have come from here... He had placed the refugees in Silver City, and it was only half a day away from the king’s house, and it was not difficult for Tfiko to get started.”
“How many people are currently in Silver City?”
"About eight hundred," said Barov in a low voice, "the merchant ship goes back and forth once for half a month, and when the next batch of refugees arrives, it is not known what will happen."Or . . . call back the 1st Army squads at once and give up these people.”
"No, no, how many people are put in, we will remove one by one, when we just take the good audit level, let them separate the card," Roland shook his head, "if the refugees are left in Silver Light City, once someone returns to the north, what to do if they preach their own experience?"We don't want to get people from there anymore."
Under Hilwi's perspective and the Nightingale's true words, no spies or assassins could be ignored, so he was not worried about it, as long as they did not harm the other refugees.
“Yes, Your Highness.”Barov coughed twice before he asked, “That...Sailon’s handling, you see...”
“What do you think?”
He hesitated for a moment, “What happened was because he was so careless that I suggested that the two months’ payout would be almost the same as if he had been removed from his position at the City Hall.”Salem's fault was not intentional, nor did it cause too much damage, and it would not be appropriate to issue it in the North Slope mine area.”
Roland couldn't help but laugh, and the other party wrote the meaty expression on his face, "Don't worry, I have decided."Considering that he made this mistake because of inexperience, rather than subjective dereliction of duty, he could be dealt with lightly.After all, it was the first time I had held such a position... I remember him in his twenties?In this case, after this lesson, I am sure he can grow up quickly.He was paid only two months' salary."
"Do as you please," said Barov at once, "do as you say."
The prince smiled and shook his head, although he spoke very harshly at first, but when he really wanted to punish, he showed an unobtrusive feeling - after all, Selen had been with him all the time in the royal capital, and he was also a group of disciples who had first arrived in the border town.In Barov’s eyes, it’s almost like the children he raised.
“Go down.”
After finishing this, Roland stretched out a lazy position.A few blank sheets of paper were taken out of the drawer, and as it was about to draw a sketch of the steam-cement boat, the leaves suddenly ran in.
"Your Highness," she said excitedly, "the far-seeing number is back!"
“Really?”Roland stood up and followed her to the back garden.The huge hot air balloon was slowly landing, and the shadow of the airbag darkened the light of the yard for a little.
As soon as the basket landed, Anna jumped down.Roland opened his hands and met him, the latter smiling and hugging him gently.
"I'm back."
(Unfinished).
