Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 808: The nouveau riche’s aura is in full swing
It is obviously unrealistic for Manxiang Tower to move to the wood elf village.

Not to mention that Manxiang Tower is a state-owned industry and is not for sale. Even if it can be sold, moving Manxiang Tower to the Wood Elf Village will not talk about anything else. Just talk about the daily food supply problem. How to solve this problem?

Faced with the whimsical idea of ​​the wood elves, Xiao Li, the receptionist, made them give up the idea with a simple question.

After the season turned into summer, the days were longer, and it was estimated that there were still three hours until dark. Of course, they had no intention of being idle. They got on the carriage and went straight to the market, obviously preparing for a shopping spree.

During this period, Xiao Li gave me a friendly reminder.

"I personally suggest that you don't buy any large items such as furniture this time. Transportation in the forest is inconvenient, and how to move them back is also a problem."

"Our construction team has already started to build the road at this moment. When the road is built and you pay some tolls, you can have the horse-drawn carriage deliver your things directly."

After listening to Xiao Li's words, the wood elves, including Locke, nodded subconsciously, feeling that what he said made sense.

However, even if they did not buy large items, their shopping enthusiasm did not diminish at all. In less than two hours, the things they bought were already piled on two cargo carriages. At the same time, they today Shopping has come to an end for the time being.

It's not that they have bought everything, but that their money bags have been emptied by now.

"That makes sense. Let's hire two coachmen to send those two carts back first. Also, I feel that there may not be enough carriages to transport the goods. We probably need to rent five more!"

Facts have proved that the five cargo carriages they rented before are indeed not enough. When they returned, fifteen cargo carriages were filled with the purchased items. Xiao Li, who was accompanying the whole process to receive them, couldn't help but laugh. Wipe away cold sweat.

At night, lying on a dry and comfortable bed, Locke looked at ease.

After all, they are purchased according to the population of the entire village, so the quantities are very large.

Even if the unit price of an object is only one copper coin, if one hundred pieces are purchased, the price will rise directly to one silver coin.

With the money the wood elves spent during this period, he felt that he would never be able to earn it in his next life.

Now the aura of the nouveau riche is in full swing. Even the wood elf clan leader Locke, who was restrained at the beginning, is now completely relaxed.

"Since these two carriages are full, why not hire two coachmen to deliver the items in these two carriages first? In order to avoid sending them all at once, the workload will be piled up and it will be difficult to move."

But it's useless to be jealous. Who can let someone really have a mine at home, so they can become rich overnight?

Apparently, even the wood elves themselves underestimated their shopping abilities.

Even Xiao Li, who had been mentally prepared in advance, couldn't help but feel a little jealous now.

During this period of time, the wood elves really spent money like water. This crazy purchase, coupled with daily expenses, as well as renting a house, a car, and renting people, cost at least tens of thousands of silver coins.

Not to mention that most of the things they want to buy are not as cheap as one copper, and the quantity is more than a hundred pieces.

During this time, the sound from the bed next door came over.

During this period, looking at the two fully loaded carriages, Xiao Li once again issued a friendly reminder.

"Clan leader, how about we stay a few more days?"

"Well, stay a few more days..."

Hearing this, Locke, who was lying there, subconsciously agreed.

The time he spent in Dazhou was indeed very comfortable. He finally understood why those gangsters didn't want to go back at all. Not to mention them, even he himself had the idea of ​​just living here. The urge. But he was still the clan leader after all. Thinking of the clansmen who were still waiting for them to return in the village, Locke reacted and said angrily...

"Do you want to stay longer? Including the time on the road back and forth, we have been in Dazhou for almost a month. No, we have to go back. We will set off early tomorrow morning and go to bed early tonight. Don't keep thinking about what you have and what you don't have! "

There was no talking all night, and early the next morning, under Locke's supervision, the wood elves had their last breakfast at Manxiang House, then took a carriage and officially embarked on their return journey.

When Locke and the others arrived outside the basin forest, the logging team that was busy here had just completed the logging work in the area.

Later, when the engineering team will carry out a wave of repairs on the ground here, a simple dirt road that can be used by horse-drawn carriages will be completed.

As for the wood cut during the period, all of it is sent to Green Forest City, where there is a ready-made wood processing factory. After the processing is completed, it will be sent over and can be directly used in the construction of the subsequent mining site.

If there are still more, send them to the surrounding mountain camps. The construction of the camps there also requires some materials.

The work here is not going smoothly. I believe that the mining farm here will officially start working before winter.

At the same time, in the mountain area, without the threat of the wind weasel, the exploration team quickly completed the exploration of the remaining mountainous areas, updated the map, and sent it to Zhou Xu.

Looking at the updated map, it is not difficult to see that when exploring the mountainous area to the south, the outermost ring of mountains is one of the mountains surrounding the basin forest. These two areas are related to some extent. Said to be connected.

Of course, the mountain wall facing the Basin Forest is too vertical and steep to go down. If you want to enter the Basin Forest, you can only go through the canyon outside Green Forest City.

Zhou Xu was not too surprised by this update of information.

When he discovered the basin forest and looked at the surrounding mountains, he already had some conjectures in his mind. Now he can only say that his conjectures have been confirmed.

After that, time passed quietly, and the hottest summer of the year passed. As the temperature gradually dropped, the season entered autumn, which symbolizes harvest.

In recent times, grain harvest reports from various farms in the New World have been delivered to Zhou Xu one after another.

According to the latest statistics, the New World's grain harvest this autumn is enough to achieve self-sufficiency under normal circumstances.

To put it simply, according to the grain output here, it is no problem to maintain the daily consumption of the people, but it cannot save much grain.

This is inseparable from the improvement in people's living standards after Zhou Xu came to power.

After all, when Yan Sheng was in power, many people might only eat one meal a day, and they might not even be full.

But since Zhou Xu came to power, the people here in the New World have basically been able to live a life of two full meals a day.

This kind of life is undoubtedly wonderful for the people, but it also leads to an increase in food consumption.

The current situation has formed...

But this is not a difficult task for Zhou Xu.

Anyway, there is no problem with the grain production in the Old Continent. If there is no grain stored in the New Continent, we can just transfer it from the Old Continent.

Under this premise, the complete recovery of grain production capacity in the New World will undoubtedly further reduce the pressure on grain transportation on both sides.

It allows him to free up more manpower and use it for development, which is undoubtedly a good thing.
