Chapter 374 New Business Plan, Little Boy 【Subscription】

As soon as he said it, Zong Shen took Luna to a housekeeper who was on standby on the fourth floor.

Let the butler take them to Baron Bezos.

Vereesa knocked on the doors of the Immortal Lancers and Howie one by one.

Inform them all to get up and get ready to assemble.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Zong Shen and Luna went down to the first floor.

Straight out of the castle.

Just outside the castle, near the edge of the tower on the left.

There are neat rows of horticultural shrubs and flower beds.

At this time, Baron Bezos was clutching a pair of pruning shears and pruning the bushes with concentration.

He cut the branches and stems that extended out to make the bush look flatter.

For Baron Bezos, gardening is a great way to get in shape.

He can get spiritual satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment by pruning these branches and leaves.

When Zong Shen and the others approached, Baron Bezos also noticed.

He took the initiative to stop the movement in his hand and flexibly jumped down from the one-meter-high herringbone ladder.

This gardening shrub wall is relatively high and requires a pair of herringbone ladders to get it.

"Brother Zong Shen, are you awake?"

"Is the environment of the room bad?"

"Why don't you sleep for a while?"

Baron Bezos, dressed in casual clothes, leaned the pruning shears against the chevron ladder.

He reached out and patted the branches and broken leaves on his clothes, and walked towards Zong Shen and the others.

Zong Shen smiled and thanked Baron Bezos first.

"You are too kind."

“The rooms in the castle are nice.”

"We only need a few hours of sleep."

"Leaving time for sleep is a waste of life."

Hearing what Zong Shen said, Baron Bezos burst into a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha, Brother Zong Shen is right."

"Young people should move around more."

"I'll let them prepare breakfast, and it'll be ready soon."

Baron Bezos was in a good mood and waved to the butler with a smile.

But Zong Shen stopped him.

"Don't bother, my lord."

"We're going to visit Bangcheng in a while."

"We'll have to go to Evans' manor for an appointment in two or three hours."

Zong Shen is going to take everyone to taste the snacks in Bangcheng in a while.

By the way, I have to see what specialties are worth buying in Bosbon.

That's when Howie is needed.

Howie has been silent since coming to Bosbon.

Including at the dinner party, he and the warriors gathered together, barely speaking.

Because of his past experience, he seems to have some prejudice against the nobles in the kingdom.

Zong Shen also did not force Howie.

It is enough for Baron Bezos to contact him personally here.

This time the meeting was very successful. Basically, Bezos responded to Zong Shen's request.

"Alright then, dear brother Zong Shen."

"By the way, the documents about the property in Shangcheng are already being processed."

"I also ordered the concentration of the other four hundred refugees."

"The time it takes to gather on the road is about 5 to 6 days."

"It's not easy for so many people to want to move."

"If you take a carriage, at least dozens of them are needed."

"Unless there is a ground animal vehicle."

"We can only fall back on using ox carts."

Baron Bezos explained what he had agreed to yesterday early this morning.

Obviously, he took Zong Shen's business to heart.

Zong Shen heard the words and bowed slightly to Baron Bezos, expressing his gratitude.

"It bothers the adults."

"I have one more thing I want to ask your lord today."

When he said this, he felt a little embarrassed himself.

However, in this matter, Zong Shen did not intend to continue to prostitute Baron Bezos.

He came with dinars, friendship is friendship, business is business.

A smile appeared on Baron Bezos' face again.

"Brother Zong Shen, just say it directly."

"As long as I can help, I will definitely not shirk."

He didn't think about it so much, what Zong Shen asked for was sprinkle water for him.

This is true whether it is the property or the more than 400 refugees.

Even Zong Shen's willingness to accept those refugees was indirectly equivalent to solving a small trouble for him.

The only thing that made Baron Bezos feel a little distressed was the flag of the state city.

That flag was a magic item he asked the magic artisans in the giant city to create.

A total of three sides have been created, and the money spent will not be mentioned for the time being, which contains great significance.

These flags represent Bosbon's expansion and experimentation.

In addition to the development of the city itself, Bosbang has also established two large settlements over the years.

One of the two settlements is to the east of Bosbon and the other is to the south of Bosbon.

The population size has reached the level of tens of thousands.

This territorial flag is hoisted in every settlement.

The last remaining side was given to Zong Shen by him.

It can be said that Baron Bezos still placed great expectations on Zong Shen.

Hearing him say that, Zong Shen no longer was coy and polite.

"My lord, I am going to purchase a batch of cold-proof materials."

"Including jackets, magical equipment for heating, and even sheepskins."

"In addition, I need to purchase a batch of shelf-stable food."

"Jerky, sausages, bacon, cheese and all kinds of dry food."

"If possible, I also hope to purchase a batch of Bosbon's rations."

"You can sell this batch of materials to me at the market price."

Zong Shen said bluntly.

The current food reserves in the territory are still quite sufficient.

It will feed everyone in the domain, including kobolds, for months.

It includes the materials collected by Mariel from Sitano Village and the materials returned by Tiezhu from Dinan Village.

There are also the military rations that were collected at the secret supply point of the Church of Calamity Ravens.

However, after the arrival of winter, food will definitely become in short supply.

I don't know the details of the new challenge yet, but if the new challenge also restricts the actions of the lords, there will definitely be a large part of the lords who will be out of food.

Especially at this stage, most of the lords cannot be self-sufficient.

Basically, they go out to hunt or buy from the aborigines and buy in the [market] to meet the food needs.

Aboriginal power was an important and stable source of food for lords.

Once the new challenge begins, the possibility of disruption cannot be ruled out.

Therefore, it is still necessary to store as much food as possible.

And the territory now has a Frost Raven version of the ice cellar, which can greatly extend the shelf life of food.

Even if the new challenge period is not used, it can be used as a food reserve for the territory.

In this way, even if the population of the territory is larger, it can be calmly dealt with.

When Baron Bezos heard the words, he lowered his head and thought for a while.

"Supplies to keep warm..."

"These should be relatively few."

"But I think there should be some in the warehouse."

"As for the food, it's a good solution."

"It's okay if you want rations."

"I can provide you with 12,000 rations."

"However, these rations are not very tasty. In order to prolong the storage period, they have almost no moisture."

"Each ration consists of one portion of jerky and one portion of bread."

"As for other common foods, it's even easier to buy."

"I'll make arrangements shortly."

"The list will be sorted out after noon."

"As for the price, don't worry about it."

"Because this is Bangcheng's reserve material, I will personally pay for it to avoid shortfalls."

Baron Bezos said after thinking carefully.

12,000 rations is not a small amount, in terms of one ration for one meal.

According to the standard of three meals a day, it can meet the consumption of an army of 2,000 people for two whole days.

If you save a little, you can eat two meals a day, or cook the jerky and flour cakes into a paste, and you can eat them longer.

"That's great, Mr. Bezos."

"Then this is up to you."

"You have helped me a lot."

"These materials will be borne by me."

Baron Bezos listened to Zong Shen's words, did not answer, just smiled.

"It's not a big deal."

"I've deployed a squadron of Bongcheng soldiers and light riders."

"They will be patrolling the streets around Evans Manor in small groups."

"This one is a magic whistle, a simple magic gadget."

"Blow it when in danger."

"Bangcheng army outside can receive the signal."

"They'll be rushing into the manor in a few minutes."

Bezos took out a silver-white round pipe magic whistle and handed it to Zong Shen.

Zong Shen took the magic whistle and nodded solemnly.

At this point the Immortal Lancers and Howie were awakened by Vereesa.

All dressed up and gathered outside the castle.

Baron Bezos asked the butler to notify the servants to bring the horses from the stable.

The two briefly chatted again, and after Bajie, the Black Panther and the Andalusian war horses were all brought over, Zong Shen and Baron Bezos said goodbye.

After seeing Zong Shen, Ba Jie ran over excitedly and arched the back of Zong Shen's hand with his big nose.

Just after everyone got on their mounts, they just walked a few steps.

Baron Bezos's voice sounded from behind.

"Brother Zong Shen..."

"How long are you going to stay in Bangcheng?"

Zong Shen heard the words and turned around.

"We have to leave before 0:00 tonight."

"The settlement needs me."

I saw a look of regret on Baron Bezos' face.

"That's a real pity."

"I received a message that my eldest son Hadrow will be back in Bangcheng early tomorrow morning."

"Two days ago, the Giant City Crusade sent Dragon Eagle Knights to ask for help."

"He took the light riders of Bangcheng to Odo Village to support."

"He's a little older than you, and I think you might be able to be good friends."

Zong Shen had pretended to be Bospon's support team before, when he heard Bezos say so.

There will inevitably be some guilt in the heart.

He nodded again and said in a regretful tone.

"That's a real pity."

"When there is a chance in the future, I will definitely come to visit Mr. Hadrow."

"I believe we must be able to talk."

"Lord Bezos, time is precious now. I will come to you after the appointment at noon."

Zong Shen waved at Bezos, then rode Bajie and led his soldiers towards the entrance and exit of the central area.

Baron Bezos didn't say much. After waving his hand, he watched Zong Shen and the others leave.

I began to instruct the housekeeper to deal with those supplies.

When Zong Shen and the others left the central area.

They randomly chose a direction and walked into the street closest to them.

The whole street was full of dense pedestrians.

In order to avoid being discovered by other lords, Zong Shen replaced his externally displayed name information with Ma Huateng 1988818.

This is a temporary modification made by the Raiders module with a little permission.

It can only be used to confuse other lords, but cannot actually change the name data.

They wandered along the street.

From time to time, go to the shops along the street to see the goods on sale, or inquire about the news from the street vendors.

The materials in the entire Bangcheng are very abundant, and it has almost become a distribution point for materials nearby.

Tourists from all over the country will give priority to Bangcheng as the main place for dumping specialties.

And Bosbon itself does not have any specialties, and it can be regarded as a relatively rare thing is cowhide products.

They use a special treatment process that increases the toughness of the cowhide, making it less prone to cracking.

The leather water bladders, belts, leather jackets, etc. made by this process are more durable.

In the words of the lord, that is, the durability is higher.

Sadly this is of no use.

This specialty does not have much advantage, and almost anywhere can produce cowhide products independently.

The use of cowhide has a long history for Aboriginal people.

The difference between them is the degree of durability.

This advantage alone is not enough to make this commodity bring huge profits.

Apart from that, Bosbon has nothing to offer.

In terms of agricultural and sideline products, apples and an unknown melon are grown here.

The farmland is mainly dominated by wheat, and there are no special crops.

So far, the trip to Bosbon has been going smoothly.

Only the air trade route plan lacks a breakthrough.

In fact, Zong Shen had an idea before that.

That is, through the [market] to buy the special goods of other regions from the lord.

However, this plan requires the participation of a reliable lord.

And there must also be suitable specialties near the opponent's territory.

Zong Shen listed it as an alternative, and now Bosbon has no valuable commodities.

Then his eyes should also be placed on the [market].

In the recent [Market], some lords still sell some regional specialties.

For example, there is a special kind of spider living in the hills and some forests in the west of the continent.

The webs produced by this spider are very strong and light.

Unlike arachnids, these spiders' webs are somewhat resistant to fire.

Underwear woven with this thread is not only beautiful but also very breathable.

sought after by the nobles.

There are many such things.

Many lords in exchange for as many resources as possible.

Basically everything that can be listed for sale is put in the [market].

…

After they walked several streets in a row.

Zong Shen basically gave up on Bosbon.

He casually found a snack bar that was reasonably neat and clean.

Putting all the mounts on the side of the road, led the soldiers into the snack bar.

More than a dozen people sat on three long tables.

The owner came over diligently and handed over the simple menu.

Zong Shen picked up the menu and glanced at it.

The above are basically some ordinary snacks suitable for commoners.

The status of such snack bars in Bangcheng is basically the same as that of Braised Chicken Rice, Lanzhou Ramen, and Shaxian Snacks in the world.

"Sixteen beef patties."

"Sixteen shortbreads and sixteen glasses of milk."

Zong Shen said casually, the shopkeeper nodded, turned around and went to prepare.

These are all interesting dishes that Zong Shen can see at a glance.

There are also things like karaage, porta noodles, medada batter on it.

Zong Shen directly chose to ignore it, for fear of choosing some dark food.

Just as everyone was waiting for the snacks to come to the table, Howie, who had been taciturn, finally spoke up.

He took the initiative to say to Zong Shen.

"My lord, after my observation, Bosbon's supplies are abundant."

"Those basic materials cannot be sold here."

"There's nothing worth selling here either."

"We should think in other ways."

Zong Shen looked up at Howie and nodded noncommittally.

He stretched out a knuckle and tapped lightly on the table.

"Then tell me what you think."

"I am willing to listen."

Howie scratched his head and began to speak his thoughts slowly.

"First of all, Bosbon doesn't have any specialties."

"But it's still a very well-developed state city."

"Whether it is the size or the flow of people."

"That gives it enough economic value."

"Yesterday, Baron Bezos gave you a shop, and we can fully use it."

"There is still a backlog of equipment in the territory, and the dwarf uncle can stably forge sophisticated equipment."

"Including the Moon God Spring, these materials are not only useful to the lords, but also to those mercenaries and free armed forces."

"We could open a store dedicated to weapons and combat supplies!"

Howie said very seriously, this is the result after he thought about it for a long time.

Zong Shen didn't answer, just tapped the table rhythmically with his knuckles.

Seeing this, Howie quickly added.

"In addition, there are idle [primary pharmacies] in the territory."

"There is "Introduction to Pharmacy" in the books that Mariel keeps, and we can train one or even multiple apprentices of pharmacists."

"Pharmaceuticals are also in high demand in the city, even if they are elementary."

"Pharmaceuticals and equipment are uncompromisingly profitable commodities, and in a sense, they are consumables."

"With these two items, we can gain a firm foothold in Bosbon and open up sales."

After Zong Shen patiently listened to Howie's words, he thought about it silently for a while.

There is nothing wrong with Howie's idea, and the idea is correct.

Since you can't make money with Bosbon, then you can simply make Bosbon's money directly!

"Your idea is very good."

"But we have to wait until the 100-kilometer-level space teleportation array is established."

"At that time, we can quickly travel between the territory and Bosbon."

Zong Shen praised, which made Howie regain some self-confidence.

Facts have proved that any plan on paper is not as reliable as a field trip.

At this moment, a little boy in ragged clothes suddenly walked into the door of the snack.

This little boy should be between twelve and thirteen years old.

The childishness on his face has not yet faded, and there is a circle of light fluff around his lips.

With a straw basket hanging in his hand, he went straight to the shopkeeper who was busy beside the stove at the door.

"Hello…"

"I...I want to exchange this basket of wild fruits for some beef patties."

"My mother is seriously ill and her stomach can no longer digest wild fruits..."

The little boy said timidly to the shopkeeper.

I saw the shop owner raised his head, just glanced at the little boy and waved his hand impatiently.

There are not only nobles and rich businessmen in Bosang, but also many commoners and poor.

Material wealth can never belong to everyone.

Most of the wealth is in the hands of a few.

People like the little boy are not a minority in Bangcheng.

"Go, go, this is not the place you should be."

"Damn little beggars, how can these wild fruits of unknown origin be exchanged for beef patties."

The shopkeeper waved his hand impatiently.

He also wants to make a living. Although his behavior is a little rough, it is more of a sadness.

Although Baron Bezos has devoted a lot of effort to the development of Bosang.

But he couldn't change the status quo, just like the person standing on the cloud couldn't see the scenery in the corner.

The little boy shed tears and knelt directly on the ground.

But the owner remained unmoved.

At this time, Zong Shen waved at him.

"Hey, kid."

"Show me your wild fruit."

Hearing the words, the little boy got up quickly, reached out and wiped a handful of tears, and walked towards Zong Shen quickly.

Holding the straw basket with both hands, Zong Shen could see the wild fruits inside.

The basket contained red fruits the size of a thumb joint.

It looks unremarkable, and it is just an ordinary wild fruit in the strategy prompt.

There really isn't anything fancy about this stuff, and it's not enough for a beef patty.

However, Zong Shen still took the basket.

Rubbing his fingers, he took out a dinar of 100 denominations.

With a flick of his thumb, he threw it towards the little boy.

The little boy quickly caught the precious dinar with both hands.

Spreading his palms, his tearful eyes suddenly opened wide.

"Thank you for your generosity!"

"I will praise you and pray for you!"

The little boy bowed to Zong Shen.

This big boy is enough to buy a lot of food.

Zong Shen just smiled and waved his hand indifferently.

For him, this can only be regarded as a good thing done casually.

His mind is gradually becoming more open-minded.

As long as the heart is comfortable, these are drizzle.

The little boy stood there and bowed repeatedly, just as he was about to leave.

Just two steps away, he seemed to remember something.

He dug repeatedly from his dirty trouser pocket.

A crystal clear bead was taken out.

This bead is the size of a quail egg, and there is a trace of electric light flashing inside.

Zong Shen stared at the bead when he saw the information prompted by the strategy.

Immediately, my eyes lit up!
