I’m a city lord in another world

After the horse thief turmoil, the city of Hadas returned to its former calm.

Most of the labor force in the city is still digging for metal ore and coal, and they have enough to eat every day, and they have copper coins, which perform well, and even get silver coins and gold coins.

However, compared with the male residents in the city, the female residents are relatively much more idle, after all, the work in the city is basically the heavy work of digging metal and coal, and does not apply to female residents.

For this situation, Lei Ze is also distressed, how to let the residents all have jobs and income, only by driving the economy of the entire city, the contribution value of the residents he can obtain will increase significantly.

To this end, Reiser gathered Mia, Jones, Duke, Helen, Sam and other important people in the city together, and everyone worked out a way together.

Inside the office, Reiser waited for everyone’s opinion.

“My lord, we can learn from other cities, let some people become small traders and vendors, and gather them together to set up a market.” Mia was the first to say.

“I think it is also a good way to recruit some nobles to drive the development of the city, after all, the nobles are the richest, they live in our city, they must buy a lot of things, and even hire some people, so that the people who are free can also have jobs.”

“Very well, any other suggestions?” Leiser looked at the others, knowing that only by brainstorming could he find the most suitable method.

“My lord, I think we can use our advantages, for example, the heating of our city is not available in other cities, why can’t it be promoted to them, especially those nobles, they like to enjoy it the most, if they know the benefits of heating, they will definitely be willing to buy it.”

Lei Ze’s eyes lit up, thinking that it was a good idea, if it could really be promoted to those nobles, it would probably make a lot of money.

Moreover, heating is such a thing, there is no technical content, as long as radiators and water pipes are processed, as well as iron furnaces, and even a wave of coal can be sold along the way.

However, not long after this idea was born, Lei Ze vetoed it again, he had a worry in his heart, this world is not patented, if others follow it, it is easy to copy the heating, at that time, it will be robbed of business by others, it is too uneconomical.

After vetoing it in his heart, Lei Ze listened to the suggestions of others next, but in the end, none of them satisfied him.

The meeting dispersed, Lei Ze was a little worried, relying solely on residents to dig metal mines and coal mines to increase their contribution value is not a long-term solution, after all, metal mines and coal mines, there is always a time to dig up, rather than breaking the situation at that time, it is better to solve it immediately.

Just when Lei Ze was at a loss, the guards came to report that a mobile caravan had come outside the city and wanted to enter the city to do business.

Caravan?

Lei Ze’s expression flashed, and after a long silence, he said lightly: “Let them enter the city.” ”

……

Kale is a merchant who has been walking among the major cities all year round, and after years of development, he has changed from a small merchant to a large merchant and built his own caravan.

As a qualified businessman, Kale has a strong sense of business, and since he heard that a new city owner had come to the city of Hadas, and not long ago, after recruiting residents to settle in the city, he moved to make a lot of money here.

After all, the city of Hadas used to be an empty city, but now that there are people and things needed, there will naturally be a lot of things.

And what others lack, he Kale has, from food to clothing, to all kinds of daily necessities, his caravan has everything, precisely because he has enough things to meet many people, which makes him a lot of money.

Even some nobles may not be able to compare with him.

Therefore, Kale came, waited for a while at the entrance of the city gate, and with the permission of the city lord, Kale paid a fee to enter the city, and then took his caravan and stepped into the city.

As the caravan entered the city, Kale and the people of his caravan all showed surprised looks, because the city in front of them was too clean, there was no garbage, no muddy streets, and no street beggars.

Such a clean, tidy city, the entire caravan, has only been seen in very few places, but I never imagined that a city located in the northernmost part could reach this level.

Coming to the center of the city, Kale saw that not far away, a tall building was bubbling with white gas, and asked a city dweller who was curious about them, “Do you know what that thing is?” Why do you keep getting white gas? ”

“Oh, that, that’s the chimney that burns the heat.”

“Chimney?” Kale looked confused, I hadn’t heard it, a very unfamiliar word, as for that heater, what is it?

“What about the big house over there? And what does it do? I saw men and women coming in. Calle pointed to the building across the street.

“That is a public toilet, specially built by our city lord, and it is divided into men and women, men go to men’s toilets, women go to women’s toilets, it is very convenient.”

Public toilets, toilets?

It was the third new word Kale had heard since entering the city, but the meaning, he understood, was the place of human excrement.

When did this Hadas city become so novel?

Sighing in his heart, Calle didn’t care too much, so he ordered his subordinates to start setting up a stall and arranging all the items sold.

At this time, the residents of the city who had been watching them all came to the stall and looked at the various goods.

“I’m going to do this.”

“How much is this, it’s only a copper coin, I bought it.”

“Bring me ten pieces of clothing, not too thick, I’m too hot.”

Carle watched many people join the buying team, and was happy in his heart, this trip really did not come in vain. However, at the same time, he was also wondering, are the residents of this Hadas City so rich?

You know, even the residents of some large cities do not buy goods so neatly.

Seeing that many clothes, iron basins, iron bowls, spoons and other daily necessities were quickly sold out, why did no one care about those foods?

Could it be that the people in the city of Hadas don’t have to eat?

Kale naturally did not believe it, and he immediately asked the residents who selected the goods why they did not buy some staple foods or vegetables to go back, and he did not believe that these generous residents would not be able to afford food.

The purchasing power of the residents of the city of Hadas, he just saw it with his own eyes, so how did food become a slow-moving commodity?

This situation has never happened in other cities, and only goods other than food have not been sold too much, and food is a hot product, but in the city of Hadas, it has come the other way around.

“Boss, it’s not me saying you, your vegetables, the taste is too bad, some are about to rot, and the sale is too expensive, we can’t even eat fresh vegetables, how can we buy your vegetables.”

“As for your staple foods, to put it mildly, those things are in Hadas City, no one likes to eat, we like to eat potatoes, potatoes are our favorite.”

Hearing the explanation of the resident in front of him, Kale was stunned.

Because he heard a strong smell of pretense from the words of the person in front of him.

Can’t finish eating fresh vegetables? What kind of joke?

Even the nobles don’t dare to say that.

You ordinary people, where do you get such a big breath.

“I knew you didn’t believe it.” Seeing Kalai’s look of disbelief, the residents of the city beckoned to a child not far away, who immediately ran over.

“This kid is my son, son, you show this boss in front of you, what are you eating?” Residents asked their children to show Kale the cucumber they were nibbling on.

The child raised the tender green cucumber in his hand, Kale looked at the cucumber that had eaten a third in front of him, his eyes were widened, it was really a cucumber, this thing, he couldn’t get the goods, and an ordinary resident child in front of him actually took it and ate it casually.

Is he dreaming?

“Dad, this uncle doesn’t seem to have eaten cucumbers, give him this cucumber, I’ll eat tomatoes.” After the child finished speaking, he gave the cucumber in his hand directly to Kale, and then took out a red tomato from his jacket pocket, and took a bite, and the juice of the tomato splashed Kale all over.

“You kid, look at you don’t pay attention either.” The resident hurriedly made compensation to Calais, apologizing: “Sorry, boss, I soiled your clothes.” ”

Calle shook his head, not angry, his gaze falling on the tomato in the child’s hand.

Cucumbers, tomatoes, vegetables are so ubiquitous?

Kale rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing, because, even he, had never eaten tomatoes this season.

This thing, there is a market and priceless, even if there is money, it cannot be bought, it has long been digested internally by the nobles themselves, where will it flow outside.

But now, the tomato is in front of you, and it is still in the hands of an ordinary child.

By the way, he heard a thing called potatoes from the mouth of the residents in front of him before, listening to that meaning, potatoes are the staple food in this city, thinking of this, Calle politely asked: “This brother, can you show me the food called potatoes you just said?” ”

“There’s nothing nice about that thing, just a round look.” The resident explained as he drew an analogy.

Kale picked up a piece of goods from the stall, handed it to the residents, and said, “In this way, you show me the potatoes in your mouth, how about I give you this thing for free?” ”

“Really?” The residents’ faces were delighted.

Kale said seriously: “It’s true. ”

“Okay, you wait, I’ll go back and show it to you.”

Ten minutes later, Kale saw the food called potatoes, and when he tasted it, he was immediately shocked, and the people of the city of Hadas all took this as a staple food?

No wonder you can’t look at the staple foods he brought, compared to the taste of potatoes, those things are simply difficult to swallow.

Looking at the potatoes in front of him, Kale’s heart stirred, and he realized the huge business opportunity value of potatoes.

“No, I must get this thing.” Kale made an immediate decision in his mind.
