Chapter 782 The Problem of Road Construction

It was hard to deal with Connie, let her temporarily give up the idea of ​​​​eliminating all the demons in the Byte Empire, and agreed to meet with the other party for a detailed discussion.

After Jia Zhengjin sent her and Liz out of the palace, he was relieved.

Before leaving, Jia Zhengjin secretly grabbed Simon and asked him about the tree of life.

The answer was that the tree of life was growing vigorously, and it seemed that it was about to mature. At present, there are bright tiger cubs guarding the tree, and there is Simon's lair, and no monsters in the forest dare to approach easily, so it is quite safe.

This made Jia Zhengjin feel relieved, and watched Connie, Liz and a group of monsters fly away from the floating city and descend to the residential area.

Looking down at the city with a larger scale and more people than before I left, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Kean, during the month you were away, the population of our Holy Dragon City has increased rapidly, reaching 67,980 people!" Tina stood beside and said softly, "The prime minister and many officials have registered the city residents in detail, and the information has dropped to 67,980." It became a mountain!"

"It's almost 70,000 people? It's double the number before!" Jia Zhengjin turned his head to look at the three wives, as well as Prime Minister Gase and others, "Where do these people come from?"

"Lord Keen," Ghaith immediately stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Most of the city residents are refugees from other human countries. Although the human countries on the entire continent are under the control of the four empires, It seems to form a solid alliance. But in fact, there have been territorial disputes and various national hatreds between most of the small and medium-sized countries since ancient times. Therefore, large and small wars often break out between each other. In addition, natural and man-made disasters continue in some areas , the number of refugees from various countries is also increasing. Because of the previous battle with the Allied Forces of the Human Empire, and after we forced the opponent, the reputation of our Holy Dragon City has spread. There is also the precedent of the Mirtai people, so some of the refugees from various countries hold a try The mentality of trying came together from all over the world, so there is today's scene!"

"You mean some people?" Jia Zhengjin asked suspiciously.

"Yes!" Gass replied respectfully, "The people who came to our Sacred Dragon City are actually only a small number of refugees, accounting for only a small proportion of the entire continent's population! , Elves and other races are mixed together, so they are all waiting and watching. If we can make the Holy Dragon City develop smoothly under the situation of this kind of mixed race, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, it is possible Attract more people to migrate over!"

Jia Zhengjin nodded slightly. In fact, in his opinion, having nearly ten million people is already very powerful! After all, how long has the Holy Dragon City been built?

"During this month, the population of our Holy Dragon City has surged!" Gass continued, "The acquisition and production speed of various resources has also doubled. Not only that, the road leading to the Principality of Hales, Sea Dragon City, the Forest of Elves, The roads of the City of Light and the Otto Empire have also been successfully constructed. Kobold artisans continue to produce cement day and night to meet the road construction requests of more countries and cities!"

"Are there many countries asking us to build roads?" This made Jia Zhengjin curious.

"The construction of these roads by our side has won unanimous praise from the passing merchants and passers-by during use! The flatness of the cement road allows any horse-drawn carriage, mount and transport vehicles to come and go freely, and no longer have to endure the previous gravel road and potholes. Mountain road. It is precisely because of this that several countries and cities that have recently built roads have smoother economic and trade exchanges with our side. After businessmen from various countries contacted their leaders after returning home, some of them realized that cement roads have a great impact on the national economy. Interested countries have sent envoys here one after another. At present, the countries that have signed road construction projects with us include the Principality of Hales, the Otto Empire, the Kingdom of Boman, and the Kingdom of Salvis. These countries require all cities, All traffic arteries have been built into cement roads. Then there are seven or eight other small and medium-sized countries asking us to send people to build a road leading directly to the edge of the border before considering whether to introduce it into the whole territory! It's just that our building materials are currently in short supply, so it's a dog head Artisans work day and night to produce,

It can only barely provide a small part of the projects for the Principality of Hales, the Otto Empire, the Kingdom of Boman and the Kingdom of Salvis. "

"Why are there not enough materials to sign so many agreements?" Jia Zhengjin was a little speechless, "Do what you can first, and you can directly refuse the others!"

Hearing this, Ghaith hurriedly said: "But Master Keen, these countries have already paid deposits in advance! And these deposits were also used by Mrs. Tina to expand the Holy Dragon City. If all of them are pushed, we really can't get it Pay so much gold coins for compensation. Of course, if Master Keen chooses to destroy the account, it is also possible, but it will be very serious damage to our Holy Dragon City, especially to your personal reputation! Therefore, the veteran feels that the current priority is to deal with it. The policy is to get enough materials, and then slowly build roads for these countries!"

"Is it necessary to be so troublesome?" Jia Zhengjin said speechlessly, "Isn't it just gold coins? Just return them! I still have here as much as you need!"

"Uh~ The Principality of Wales has paid 5.5 million gold coins, and 10 million can be credited after completion; the Otto Empire has paid 6 million gold coins, and 15 million can be credited after completion; the Boman Kingdom has paid 7.7 million gold coins, and can be credited after completion 12 million; the Salvis Kingdom has already paid 12 million gold coins, and another 8 million can be credited after the completion of the project!" Gass replied honestly, "If we go back on our word, we need to double the compensation to these four countries for a total of 62.4 million gold coins!"

"I'll go!!" Jia Zhengjin almost fainted, he really didn't have so many gold coins!

"In addition, although the deposits of other small and medium-sized countries are small, they still reach a total of 5 million. Therefore, if you reject it, you will have to double the compensation of 10 million gold coins! In other words, the total is 72.4 million gold coins!" After finishing the calculation, Gais looked at Jia Zhengjin, "If Our side refuses to compensate, these countries dare not do anything! Especially the Principality of Hailes is absolutely obedient to you now. But the possibility of us making money by building roads will be completely stifled, and other countries will never trust us in Holy Dragon City At the same time, it may also affect the evaluation of our Holy Dragon City by the business community. The output of fruits, honey, crops and various special products in our Holy Dragon City will also be severely hit! It is estimated that the total loss at that time may not be low. At 80 million gold coins!"

The more Jia Zhengjin heard it, the more frightened he became. This number is too scary! His brain just felt buzzing, and it hurt so badly! Sure enough, the bigger the city develops, the more troublesome things will happen! I am good at playing games, and I really can't use my brain in other places, so I can only rely on others: "Then what do you think should be done, Prime Minister Ghaith?"

"Master Keen, now we can only expand the mining troops in our city! But we must first obtain permission from Lord Connie to allow our people to mine in areas rich in minerals, while avoiding attacks by monsters. At the same time, we can invite friends from the elves Ask the dwarves for help, and exchange supplies for the necessary minerals to make cement!"

"Just do as you say!" Jia Zhengjin immediately agreed.
