Chapter 300 Strange veins, flammable black oil

Both King Nebett and Duke Laman were puzzled as to why the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce rented a useless small city.

Although this city is near the royal capital, it looks like a good location, but because it is near the royal capital, the orcs have gone to live in the royal capital. Anyway, the housing prices and prices in the royal capital are not expensive, and there are better choices. Who would stay here.

It is basically used as a warehouse, and the level of economic development is very low.

When King Nebett offered to take the small town as a mortgage with an attitude of giving it a try, Shu Daqiang agreed without much consideration.

After repeated confirmation, Shu Daqiang was indeed not joking. After he agreed to mortgage this small town without a name, King Nebet signed the agreement directly without saying a word.

The interest generated by this city for one year may not be as good as the interest of one month's loan. Therefore, there is no problem at all in leasing this city to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce for a hundred years.

Of course, this is also subject to certain conditions.

For example, although the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce has absolute freedom in this city and does not even have to pay taxes to the king, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce cannot recruit soldiers on a large scale, only small-scale recruitment of some people is possible.

After all, King Nebet is also afraid that the opponent will backlash after he grows up. Although the opponent seems harmless to humans and animals, he still needs to take some precautions.

In this regard, Shu Daqiang said that of course there is no problem.

He is here to do business, not to fight, why recruit so many soldiers.

However, necessary security measures are still required. It's not that he doesn't trust King Nebet, but he doesn't trust other people. In the future, when others see the Red Leaf Merchant Association making a lot of money here, they must be jealous and have to guard against it.

After the matter was almost discussed, King Nebett explained that from now on, this small town belongs to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce.

The supplies that Nebet bought with his loan of one million gold coins are already on the way, so he can just wait. After Shu Daqiang explained the matter of Hongye Bank, he went to this unnamed town.

In fact, this small town is not without a name, but because there are too many names and there is no unified name, so it finally became an anonymous small town.

The first thing Shu Daqiang did when he came here was to rename the city.

"Xincheng. What is the name like?"

Shu Daqiang turned his head and asked.

Next to him is the orc captain who first saw Shu Daqiang and his team, named March. King Bennett sent March to Shu Daqiang's side in order to facilitate Shu Daqiang's work.

"Good, good name!"

March nodded instantly in agreement.

In fact, he felt in his heart that it would be better to choose this name himself, but there was no way, who would let him be a celebrity in front of His Majesty the King.

Speaking of which, he not only saved a lot of money in Hongye Bank, but also bought insurance in Hongye Bank. He still has a good impression of this mouse Daqiang.

Hearing the praise, Shu Daqiang was very proud. Zhang Feng would not bother with these trivial matters, and it was up to him to perform. Since the local Ma Qi has already agreed on the name, there is no problem.

Regarding the use of this "new city", Zhang Feng has already planned it.

It's not about building such a tall city, but about turning it into a factory for the orc world.

In the orc country, resources may be relatively scarce, but the population is really large, and it is difficult for Zhang Feng to understand how such a barren place can be so productive.

But for Zhang Feng, this is a very good innate condition.

Because compared with humans, orcs are much stronger in terms of strength and endurance.

Anything like 996 or 007 is trivial. Even as long as the meal is full, there is no problem in working continuously for three days and three nights.

Therefore, such high-quality labor is wasted if not used.

If Zhang Feng wants to influence or even control the beastman country economically, it is not enough to rely on the bank alone, he must have a business. Danjia country is the first stop of his experiment.

The name change of the new city did not cause much sensation. Now the Red Leaf Bank has spread in Danga, and people from other cities are rushing to the capital. Some want to save money, and more want to borrow. The more armed you are, the more chances you have of winning.

But soon, Xincheng came into everyone's sight.

Because Xincheng began to recruit workers at high prices.

If you want to turn this place into a factory, you must first build the infrastructure. Although Xiongba brought a group of people before, those people are still far from enough, and the factory does not need high-level construction workers. As long as the level is similar, Just enough.

Recruitment took three full days.

Even King Nebet was a little stunned. He used the price given by Shu Daqiang to make preliminary calculations. In the next month, Shu Daqiang estimated that he would have to pay a salary of 500,000 gold coins, plus buy some raw materials such as stones and wood. , It is estimated that there are more than a million gold coins!

This is really a big project!

At this moment, King Nebet even had some bad thoughts in his heart.

This Red Leaf Merchant Guild is so rich, if...

Soon, he shook his head, killing this dangerous thought.

Millions of gold coins are in the eyes of the other party, and they don't even blink, and they can even loan him one million gold coins without interest. Even if this kind of power is not the Sirius Empire, it is probably similar to the Sirius Empire. Dare to beat them Doctrine, that is courting death!

The reason why Danjia Kingdom can exist for such a long time is not because of his prudence!

Nebet made up his mind that he must maintain sufficient respect for the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and restrain his subordinates, and must not provoke them for no reason.

But what Nebet didn't know was that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce actually used the money from the "Red Leaf Bank Danjia Branch".

That is to say, the Red Leaf Merchant Association will use the money of their Danga country orcs to pay their salaries.

After these orcs get their salaries, they will deposit them in Hongye Bank. It can be said that this forms a perfect closed loop.

As long as they don't withdraw all their deposits, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce will have a steady stream of funds.

Of course, this is not to say that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce completely empty-handed the white wolf and did not create any value. On the contrary, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce used the money from the orcs of Danga to help them build, and the ultimate goal was good.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is sure to be a win-win situation.

Because enough is given, even without machinery such as steam engines, the construction of the new city is extremely fast.

In just one month, the entire new city has taken on a new look.

The wide and tidy roads, tall and beautiful buildings, compared with the Wangdu next to it, are not in the same style at all.

After the construction of the new city was completed, King Bennett came to see it. For a while, he suddenly became jealous of the orcs in the new city.

How could they live in such a nice place!

To put it bluntly, this new city looks better than the king's capital except that it is not as big as the king's capital and there are not as many people as the king's capital. Even King Nebet felt that his palace built with countless stones was not here. The house is beautiful.

With mixed emotions, Nebet left, and Duke Laman stayed.

He is different from King Nebet. The king needs to stay in the capital and cannot go out casually. Especially at this time, you cannot be found by others in an emergency.

But he is different, he is just an ordinary duke who can go wherever he wants.

After seeing the newly renovated new city, Raman immediately made up his mind that he was already going to live in the new city!

Besides looking good here, the versatility is what Raman likes.

There are small shops that sell all kinds of sundries, taverns that sell good wine, and supermarkets that sell food, etc. This kind of place is organized and not messy at all, it is so convenient!

Seeing that Laman wanted to settle down here, Shu Daqiang couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Is the city nice?

Isn't this the most basic thing!

It was completely built according to Master Zhang Feng's minimum standards, and it can only guarantee certain functions, and it has nothing to do with beauty.

But Shu Daqiang did not refuse, since Laman is willing to live here, let him live here, and it happens to be an advertisement.

During these days, Shu Daqiang also learned that most of the resources in this orc kingdom, which Bennett called the orc continent, were extremely poor.

Especially food and grain, because of the harsh climate, the survival rate of these crops is very low. Even if they survive in the end, the output is very little. In addition, the orcs have a large appetite, and the food here is even more insufficient.

However, there is one thing that is different from humans. Perhaps it is because of their relatively large size. Although orcs can eat, they can also starve. Eat once a month or even once a month.

This is why these orcs are so thin, they are completely hungry.

In addition to food, the water resources here are also relatively scarce. I heard that the largest freshwater lake here is occupied by the Sirius Empire, and the orcs from other countries are not allowed to use it. This has caused many orcs to have no suitable fresh water.

Of course, due to the perennial snow accumulation, it is drinkable when the snow is melted, but for some reason, these seemingly clean and white snows are full of dirty things after they are melted, and they will be drunk after drinking. Sickness, even with the strong physique of an orc, can't bear it.

In addition to food and water, there is one kind of resource that is relatively abundant here, and that is ore.

To what extent? Even this small new city, which was previously unloved, is surrounded by more than a dozen mining areas.

What iron ore, copper ore, lead ore, clay ore and so on.

But these mines are of no use to the orcs.

Except for gold mines and silver mines, other ores, unless the scale is particularly large, are rarely mined.

Even the copper mines that are the raw material for copper coins are not willing to be developed.

The reason is simple, the cost of mining copper mines may be higher than the final copper coins!

Except for mining gold and silver mines that will not lose money, the others are basically losing money.

Of course, if the scale of the mine is so large that it can be continuously mined for hundreds of years, it can still make some money, but the problem is that such a large mine is also occupied by the Sirius Empire!

The few remaining are also distributed by other countries, such as the Danga Kingdom. There are many mines here, but they are all small mines that are tasteless and wasteful, and there is no big mine in the strict sense.

Small mines don't make money, so naturally no orcs are willing to do it.

In fact, Shu Daqiang didn't want these mines either, because they were indeed too small to maximize the benefits, but Zhang Feng told him that he couldn't just look at the temporary gains and losses.

Now if you want to build a new city, you can only start with these small mines. There is no choice. When the new city becomes bigger in the future, you can buy large mines from other orcs, or even from the Sirian Empire.

Zhang Feng believes that as long as the price is in place, no one will refuse.

As for the problem that these small mines cannot make money, it is completely out of Zhang Feng's consideration.

Through the news from Shu Daqiang, Zhang Feng knew that there were several reasons why these orcs couldn't profit from these small mines.

One is that the smelting method is outdated, with high consumption and low output.

Another is that there is no reasonable mining method, people are exhausted, but the mines are not dug much.

These problems can only be regarded as minor problems for Zhang Feng. He has rich mining experience and can easily solve them.

Therefore, Zhang Feng asked Shu Daqiang to take down all the nearby mines first, regardless of whether it was worth mining or not, take them down first.

But Nebet heard that Shu Daqiang wanted to start a mining business, so he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

If all these mines are mined, it will definitely be a good thing for Danjia, because it will create a lot of jobs. Judging from the previous practices of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, their generous spending will definitely improve the living conditions of some orcs.

But from the point of view of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, what if they stopped playing after they announced that mining these mines would not make money?

With such a powerful partner, Nebet doesn't want them to leave.

So, Nebet thought of a compromise - as long as the Red Leaf Merchant Guild is looking for mines, sell them all at a low price!

These mines are actually not worth much. Nebet wanted to give the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce a good impression.

To this, Shu Daqiang naturally did not refuse, he wished it would be cheaper, if he could save a little bit.

Soon, the mines near the capital, no matter how big or small, as long as they were not mined, were all assigned to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and Shu Daqiang began to recruit people again.

This time they recruited mining workers.

Similar to construction workers, mining is not difficult for orcs, it is nothing more than digging ore and carrying it on their backs.

Therefore, after hearing that the Hongye Chamber of Commerce was recruiting mining workers, those who had tasted the sweetness before quickly began to sign up. Those who missed it before will never allow this opportunity to be missed again.

While recruiting people, Shu Daqiang went to research minerals.

He needs to detect all these mines, and then tell Zhang Feng the news, and Zhang Feng will make a decision.

Soon, news of Shu Daqiang reached Hongye City.

"...My lord, in addition to these mines, I also found a very strange mine. Inside this mine is some black, sticky liquid, which smells bad. I don't know what it is, but it can burn. The beast here People call it black oil, and they take it back and use it as firewood..."
