NOVEL NEXT Chapter 479 Fish Disaster
"You can't say that. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
After chatting with each other, the two came to the center of the Kurisk-Kadro-Qixing highway.
"The first name should be written by you." After Russell finished speaking, he took three steps back, not giving Verin a chance to return.
Seeing this scene, Weilin felt helpless. He picked up the quill, wrote his full name on it, and stamped it with a seal representing the legal effect of Viscount Qi Xing.
"It's your turn, brother Russell."
After saying that, Verin took a few steps back and gave up his position to Russell.
After hearing this, Russell came to the wooden table, wrote Russell Curisco, and stamped it with a seal representing Count Curisco, indicating that this trade agreement was supported by the entire Curisco family.
Subsequently, the nobles of the provinces of Kadro and Serop alternately signed and sealed the "Kurisk-Qixing Trade Agreement."
After a while, the "Kurisk-Qixing Trade Agreement", which gathered the names and seals of hundreds of nobles, was signed. From this moment on, the Kurisk-Kadro-Qixing Highway was officially opened.
The agreement stipulates:
For any noble who signs a trade agreement, depending on the title, the Baron can issue three access licenses, the Viscount can issue nine access licenses, and the Viscount Qixing and Count Curisco can issue fifteen access licenses.
For caravans with traffic license plates, caravans with less than fifteen carriages are exempt from tolls. Caravans with more than fifteen carriages are calculated based on the distance traveled. For the carriages exceeding the distance, a toll of one silver coin is required for every thirty kilometers. The nobles on the corresponding road sections are charged and are not allowed to collect entry fees.
Where...
The above twenty-three provisions guarantee the interests of all nobles involved in the construction of the Kurisk-Kadro-Qixing Highway from all aspects.
Any noble who violates the above trade agreement will be punished by all the nobles who signed the agreement.
A grand banquet was held in the Barony of Shipple. Everyone tasted the specialties of each noble territory. Amid laughter and laughter, the first round of trade exchanges began.
"Brother Russell, let me introduce you, this is my cousin Brian."
At the bustling banquet, Verin pulled his cousin from the crowd to Russell and introduced him warmly.
"I've met Count Curisco." Brian looked a little cautious.
Russell said very kindly: "You don't need to address me so respectfully. Just call me Russell, or you can call me the same as Verin."
Brian saw this and smiled apologetically.
He knew very well that it was for Weilin's sake that the other party was able to put down his countenance and communicate with him.
The gap between baron and earl cannot be bridged so easily.
With Verin's help, Brian and Russell completed an order worth thirty thousand gold coins.
In this transaction, Brian provided a batch of high-quality goods, and Russell purchased these goods at a relatively favorable price.
There are many similar goods. How to trade them all depends on whether the relationship between the two can stand the test.
At this banquet, apart from Weilin and Russell signing an order for ice blue potion worth 100,000 gold coins, Weilin did not sign any other trade orders with other nobles.
On the one hand, it is out of respect for Russell, and on the other hand, it is also for the future development of Qixing Ling.
Three months after the signing of the trade agreement, the number of caravans traveling to and from Qixing Leader has increased several times.
These caravans brought special products and wealth from various places, and also injected new vitality into the development of Qixing Ling.
……
On January 9744, 1 in the Glorious Calendar, a letter was delivered to Verin.
"Master Wei Lin, the Lord has asked you to go to Windsor Castle on March 15th to participate in the decision-making of important family affairs."
"Uncle Mag, please tell my father that I will attend this family meeting on time in March next year."
"I'll take my leave."
After watching Angus's guardian knight leave, Verin opened the letter and read it carefully.
From his old father's words, Weilin could clearly feel his fatigue.
After three months of negotiations, the share of the teleportation array was finally decided.
According to the agreement signed between the Akers family, the seven dukes and the royal family, the royal family occupies 25% of this teleportation array together with the Silver Dragon Burke Kingdom, the Duke of Moravia occupies 10%, and the others The six dukes held 6 percent, and the House of Aix held 29 percent.
The cost of constructing the teleportation array requires a unilateral budget of 20 billion gold coins.
From this point of view, Verin needs to spend 3 billion gold coins to build the teleportation array in Zeferus' territory, which means that his treasury will shrink by 30%.
"The family actually only occupies 29%."
Verin put down the letter in his hand and thought deeply.
According to the previous verbal agreement, he occupied 20% of the teleportation array. Now it seems that it is no longer advisable and a concession needs to be made.
"The range of ten to fifteen percent is the most reasonable. Anyway, Zeferus's territory has a fifteen percent share, so he won't lose anything."
However, it is impossible for him to give up his share of the teleportation array for free. An exchange of interests would be good for both his family and himself.
It is not advisable to blindly give, and it is even more undesirable to blindly ask.
At night, Verin came to the window sill, placed a bowl, and poured luminous wine.
The next moment, the mutant griffin star arrived as expected, holding wine in his mouth and disappearing into the night.
Weilin sat at the window and waited peacefully.
[Ten months from now, a fish disaster will break out in the eastern part of the West Napus subcontinent. 】
"Fish disaster? I remember the last time it happened was two hundred years ago." Weilin searched the memories in his mind and recalled that in the history of the kingdom, there had been a total of thirteen fish disasters, with varying lengths of time.
As long as the Corbos fish plague, it lasted for thirteen years and affected twelve countries along the coast of the West Naps subcontinent. From the northernmost coast border of the Magic Kingdom of Ashe to the southernmost Holy Shia Orc Kingdom, all were involved. into it.
The fish disaster was as short as Miwesi, lasting less than three months, and affected only five countries: the Kingdom of Bahio, the Principality of Bergghan, the Kingdom of Ilia, the Half-Elf Kingdom of Yis, and the Kingdom of Kubei.
The fish disaster is known as the Deep Sea Murloc Rebellion, also known as the Deep Sea Murloc Jihad, or it may be more appropriately called population reduction.
Deep-sea murlocs are a broad concept. Amphibious murlocs, three-tailed murlocs, spiked murlocs, single-eyed murlocs, four-armed murlocs, etc. are all called deep-sea murlocs. They believe in countless gods.
The vast ocean is their habitat.
According to incomplete statistics, the deep-sea fish people believe in as many as thirty-three gods.
Although there are many in number, they are generally weak in strength. Many gods of the deep-sea murloc god system attack and conquer each other. They launch fish disasters every once in a while to reduce the number of deep-sea murlocs and increase the faith of their believers.
"Did this fish disaster affect a large area?"
The Praying Star Territory is located on the western border of the kingdom. No matter what the situation is, it is impossible for the deep-sea murlocs to come here.
After thinking for a moment, Verin decided to ask his father for detailed information about the fish disaster when he went to Windsor Castle to attend a family meeting two months later to see if there was any chance of profit.
The news that Destiny Guidance told him was definitely not nonsense. There must be some way to make profits, but he hadn't discovered it yet.
