Chapter 111 My Territory Is in Great Demand for Ice (Part [-])

"Ice making?"

Goss was stunned for a moment, and the lion tail behind him swayed unnaturally. He felt amused and said, "Master Alan, you don't have a big demand for ice here, do you mean that there are many rich merchants in the town who need ice cubes? Besides, sell them to Doubling your saltpeter mine is a complete waste, you and the orcs in the whole town can't use up that much saltpeter."

"No, you can't imagine the ice needs of my territory. In fact, I plan to distribute ice cubes to every resident, a dozen large ice cubes every night, but the amount of saltpeter is too small, poverty... I mean The quantity limits me." Allen straightened his back, picked an ice cube in his hand and handed it to Goss, talking nonsense in a serious manner.

Goss took the ice, and a burst of cold air hit his face, slightly dissipating the heat generated by the rush.

"But you only have 500 residents, right?" Goss has investigated Datie Village and knows that there are only 500 aborigines.

"You are wrong. Tomorrow Town has a thousand or hundreds of free people, and there are also three thousand and hundreds of slaves."

Allen counted the people of Fox Village and the newly added residents of Morning Glory into the ranks of free citizens. This heavyweight data will undoubtedly shock Goss.

"But two months ago, you only had 500 people... Wait, let me think about it."

Goss frowned, and began to think about ways to increase the population of Tomorrow Town. He remembered the bunch of slaves, Morning Glory refugees, and the [-] wounded soldiers sent by the Lionheart Kingdom, and immediately understood the source of the population of Tomorrow Town.

This shit, most of them were snatched from Morning Glory Town, and most of them were slaves.

"Well, there are more than 1000 free people, and the demand for ice cubes has indeed doubled, but Mr. Allen, don't you think it's a waste? The orcs at the bottom of this weather have long been used to it, and they can live without ice cubes." Goss didn't understand, thinking that Allen was just bragging and didn't say the real point.

"Hehe, it's hard for you to imagine what it's like to be rich. I think I can't run out of money. It's okay to spend some money to make the whole town feel cooler."

The two chatted with each other for a while, but Goss couldn't find out where the saltpeter was, and became more curious about the effect of saltpeter.

"Nitre must have a huge effect. It is possible that the mystery of the construction of the two-month wall in Tomorrow Town lies in the saltpeter. I want to send some spies to collect information about the saltpeter." Goss thought.

Since there is no way to find the saltpeter, Goss does not intend to sell so much saltpeter.

It must be very profitable to sell so much saltpeter, but the Goss family is very rich. After they are rich enough, they start to pursue things on another level, such as power, or weapon technology that they don't have, rapid wall building technology, etc. .

When others want something from him, Goss can take advantage of it. Sometimes pinching the lifeblood of the other party is more important than making money.

"Master Allen, I really can't make the decision to double the amount of ore produced. As you know, our family has limited slaves, so we can't mine so much ore in a short time.

However, there is room for this matter. If you sell us your novel method of using saltpeter, or the method of quickly building a wall, our family will use our connections to buy saltpeter from other families and sell it to you at the lowest price in the market. "

Goss said this, and he has already decided that Allen's saltpeter channel can only be imported from him, and other saltpeter merchants will not sell it to him.

If Allen wants to raise the price to sell other merchants, they have to consider that the nobles in the local saltpeter town are oppressive. After weighing the two, it is still power that oppresses people.

Facing the signal quietly released by Goss, Allen naturally couldn't reveal the alternative usage of saltpeter.

The key to building the city wall is cement. The method of making cement is easy but not easy. Allen doesn't want to sell the method. If he wants to sell, he is also selling the finished cement so that the other party will buy it.

However, the cement factory in Tomorrow Town is in short supply, and Alan's own is not enough, and it is impossible to export cement products.

"Hehe, let me tell you, I bought so much saltpeter recently, just because I was researching how to make pure glass, you know, inventing a new thing always requires a lot of materials, before the research is fruitful , Huge waste is inevitable." Allen laughed.

"It's actually made of glass, but I haven't seen you installing glass windows, and there are no new glass channels in the market. Mr. Alan, you just study glass, don't you sell the finished products?"

Goss maintained the most basic suspicion, and did not believe in Allen's words.

When saltpeter and sand are heated and melted, rough glass can be formed, but that is only a low-grade product.

Recently, many artisans in the Lionheart Kingdom are trying to use new materials to develop new glass, and are working hard on how to increase the transparency of the glass.

But this is the cutting-edge hard-core technology content of the Lionheart Kingdom. People with a little bit of power can inquire about how to make ordinary glass, but they are at a loss as to how to improve it. Goss is a little suspicious of Allen's research ability.

"Believe it or not, anyway, I am researching glass. I have made some progress recently and am piling up goods. My merchant ship will sell glass outside in a week, and I will send you a few pieces of glass at that time." Allen smiled.

Due to the relationship of biology, Allen needs a convex lens to make a microscope to completely break the superstition of the white blood sacred tree in Fox Village, so the production of glass is on the agenda.

Goss didn't know it, and only felt that Allen's reasons were barely credible.

"Okay, see you in a week."

Goss shook the lion's tail, and his eyes quietly looked at the urban planning map behind Allen.

The blocks of squares and straight lines form a city plan extending in all directions, which has a neat geometric beauty.
