At the side of the dock, more than a dozen sailboats lined up, the mast top and the interlaced hemp ropes were wrapped in snowflakes into white silver lines, and refugees fished out of the cabin and rushed to the open space in front of the dock.
This is not the first time Border Town has received refugees from all over Greyburg, and the whole process seems to be orderly.
Four iron railings divide the crowd into two slender columns, which can not only control the flow of people, but also avoid trampling.
On both sides of the railing are policemen patrolling with short sticks. Those who push and try to climb over the railing will be hit by a stick.
There are punishments and rewards. In order to appease people who have experienced hardships, refugees passing through the railing passage can get a bowl of steaming porridge.
In any case, filling your stomach first can effectively reduce refugees' panic and discomfort in unfamiliar territory.
This time, in addition to police, First Army and City Hall officials, Nightingale and Sylvie also participated in the inspection to find out the drug users who were planting in the crowd by Tiffeko.
Under the scrutiny of the Magic Eye, there is nowhere to hide whether it is pills or snow powder.
Thank you for all this for the West, Roland retracted his gaze and said to Margaret beside him, if it weren't for your fleet, these people would have to spend the cold winter in the slums of other cities.
It is rare that His Highness asked me for help in such an urgent tone, so I naturally had to give my all. She smiled, but many crew members were unwilling to sail on heavy snow, so they could only get such thirteen ships.
It's better than none of them, Roland spits out a white breath.
Since learning that a large number of refugees were stranded in Yinguang City, Chishui City and Liuye Town, he sent a letter of help to the Margaret Chamber of Commerce, hoping that the other party could collect a fleet to help transport the refugees himself.
Although there are fewer thirteen boats, two extra trips can always bring people back according to a sailboat with one hundred people. It takes two weeks to travel back and forth, and it takes about one and a half months for three thousand stranded people.
The Golden Dragon carried by the First Army team could not last until that time, so this trip had to carry food and cold-resistant clothing.
Roland did not want any refugees to board the boat with hopes, but ultimately could not reach their destination.
With the blessing of lightning, Margaret finally set the transportation cost twice the weekdays.
If it were other merchants, they would definitely think that this was a stupid transaction. The freight alone exceeded the value of the goods itself. On average, the freight for one golden dragon per two people. According to the current market price, you can buy several strong and high-quality slaves.
Margaret had also asked him questions, but Roland still insisted on bringing these people back to the West.
From the moment they followed the envoys onto the sailing boat, they were already considered as the governors of the Western Frontier and they had the responsibility to provide them with shelter.
Moreover, in Roland's eyes, the value of these refugees is far from comparable to slaves. After education and training and reemployment, the wealth they create in their new positions will be immeasurable.
……
Back in the castle living room, Roland ordered the kitchen to serve Margaret a soup for dispelling cold. Drink this and your hands and feet will be much warmer.
Thank you for your kindness. The businesswoman scooped up a spoonful and smelled it. It seemed that there was white wine in it?
Indeed, he smiled, in addition to this, there were peppercorns and honey, and the base was chicken soup.High-alcohol is an excellent drink to drive away the cold at any time. Heating with chicken soup also makes the taste more mellow. In addition, seasonings that cover up its stimulating taste make the whole bowl of soup fresh and slightly spicy, and people who don’t drink often can easily eat it.
After Margaret slowly finished drinking the soup, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was really good. Every time I came to you, I would be full of expectations. I don’t know what new things you will make. Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to visit your territory frequently next year.
Are you referring to trading opportunities?Roland keenly captured the meaning of her words.
The businesswoman nodded. Tifeko had issued an order to ban saltpeter transactions. Now it is not only the capital, but even the saltpeter in Yinguang City and Chishui City cannot be sold out. Apart from supplying it to the Alchemy Association at a low price, it can only be sold to the nobles in the city.
Roland frowned.
Moreover, according to the information I heard from the city hall channel, he seems to be planning a complete blockade of the Western Region. I am afraid that not only saltpeter, but even merchants will be blocked on the front line of Chishui City.At that time, not only Bianfeng Town, but Changge Fortress and Liuye Town will also be affected.Although many nobles expressed their objections, Tifeco should not take back the order.She shook her head helplessly, "When I am going to be unable to transport saltpeter and ore ingots here in the coming year, I will not only be able to transport saltpeter and ore ingots here, but even the steam engine transaction may be suspended."
It seems that he was pushing him out of the way, otherwise he would not have brought out such a destiny that harming the royal family was equally harmful. Roland couldn't help but think that rashly interfering in trade operations in other territories without completing centralization may arouse the rebellious mentality of the lord and the great nobles.
Even if Tifeike sends his own troops to defend the land and rivers, it is easy to be eliminated by the local lord from behind as long as he enforces this policy for a year and a half.
But trade is the fatal point of the border town, not to mention a year...even half a year will never be allowed.
Saltpeter is a raw material for large-scale acid production, and its importance is irreplaceable until artificial synthesis of ammonia is solved.
Once the supply is stopped, the 152mm cannon will become a decoration, and the replacement of the new continuous gun will be much delayed.
However, compared to weapons, what is even more serious is that the steam engine trade is not much gold dragon in the city hall vault. Some of the money-making coins are used for infrastructure construction and jobs are continuously increased. Some are distributed to town residents as compensation, and then recycled through transactions of grain, convenient goods and housing to form a cycle.
This economic model needs to continuously inject golden dragons into the market, at least equal to the wealth created by the leaders.
Today, Bianfeng Town is still in its original state of accumulation and has no credit currency issuance. Once the trade income of steam engines is missing, the finance department will easily fall into a dry state where it cannot issue wages, and the next step is the complete collapse of the economy.
In any case, funding disruptions are absolutely unacceptable.
This situation will not last long, Roland spread his hands and said, I believe you will be able to visit this small town in the West soon... No, by then, what you will see should be a brand new city.
Margaret was slightly surprised. Are you planning to build a city here?
Just after the end of the Demon Moon, he smiled and said, "In addition, I plan to open a commercial route directly connected to the fjords, not through Haifeng County or Bishui Port, but directly from the western border and directly to the fjords' islands."I wonder if you are interested in participating?
