From purifying pollution to god of order
Chapter 66 The Dock
=========================
The pier of Hanxi City is based on a platform built of stones, coupled with a wooden trestle. After the ship stops by the trestle, it can start loading or unloading, as well as getting on and off passengers.
But now there are only stone platforms left on the pier, and the wooden trestle is almost corroded by the sea water. Even birds will wobble on it, and if people walk on it, it will collapse immediately.
Since there is no extended trestle, if the ship wants to dock at the pier, it can only stop on the edge of the stone platform.
But the water here is not deep enough, so there is no problem docking small boats, but large ships simply cannot get close to the stone platform, and after the boat is parked at sea, the cost of transporting it back and forth by small boats is too high.
Unless there is something urgent, no one will choose to dock at this port in this way.
"Why is no one repairing the trestle?" Eus asked.
It is indeed more convenient to use wood to make trestle bridges, and the cost is relatively low, but wood soaked in the sea for a long time, even if there is no wind and rain, it will be corroded by sea water.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the trestle bridge should be maintained at regular intervals. If the corrosion is too serious, the trestle bridge should be demolished and a new one built.
The fishmonger smiled helplessly and said, "Your Excellency, we also want to repair the pier, but the Lord Sam refused before, and we have nothing to do!"
"Why?" Eus was puzzled. Sam was a businessman, so he should know how important a well-functioning dock is to a city.
Trade by sea can quickly develop the business of a city. As more people come and go to Hanxi City, there will be more guests in hotels, taverns and other places.
Manpower is also needed for loading and unloading, which can create some jobs. When the income of residents increases and capital flows, Hanxi City will become more and more prosperous.
As the lord of Hanxi City, Sam can draw more oil and water from it.
"My lord, I heard that Lord Sam hates merchants, that's why he intentionally let the pier be abandoned, but I'm only a fish seller, so I don't know if this rumor is true." The fishmonger said with a wry smile.
"En." After Eus responded casually, he probably guessed why Sam did this.
The rumors said by the fishmonger should be true. Sam really "hates" merchants. He is a merchant himself, and the title and the position of city lord are all obtained by spending money.
In the eyes of other traditional nobles, Sam is almost like a nouveau riche, and he is not qualified to be compared with them at all. This can be seen from Will not waiting to see Sam.
Therefore, Sam has been working hard to remove the label of a businessman from him, hoping to formally join the ranks of real nobles, instead of being excluded by traditional nobles for any benefits.
Abandoning business is one of Sam's measures to remove the label, so that when people talk about him, Sam can say that he doesn't even engage in business. Unlike other businessmen, he is a real nobleman.
Although this reason sounds a bit far-fetched, it has to be said that Sam really used this to make some little nobles change their minds about him.
As for the damage to the fishermen and residents of Cold Twilight City after the commercial and docks are abandoned, Sam doesn't care!Anyway, this does not prevent him from exploiting and enjoying.
Eus snorted coldly and said, "If Sam hadn't died, I would definitely let him come here for labor reform!"
As for Sam's family, Sam has no family!
When he was doing business in the early years, he was ruthless to others and to himself. In order to get a sum of money smoothly, he would rather have his family members kidnapped and torn up than pay to save people.
Later, after Sam earned enough money and became a baron and city lord, in order to avoid someone threatening him by kidnapping, Sam stopped starting a family at all, but I heard that he usually had a good time.
"After I go back, I will have someone post a notice to hire someone to repair the pier. After the pier is repaired, you can drive larger fishing boats to go fishing. Can you guarantee the number of sturgeon bone fish?" Er asked Urs.
After thinking for a moment, the fishmonger said, "My lord, although we know where the sturgeon fishes are active, there are other large fishes there, and they are particularly ferocious.
Unless there is enough interest, no one will go fishing there. I guess this hulus bone fish came to other sea areas after being strung together in disorder, so I was lucky enough to catch it. "
"Hmm... so do you know how to breed sturgeon fish?" Eus asked again.
"Ah? We haven't tried breeding hulus bone fish! Don't talk about hulus bone fish, we haven't even raised goldfish." The fishmonger was a little confused.
"Then you can explore it. I will also hire someone who knows how to raise fish to help you. As for where to raise fish..."
Having said this, Eus turned his head to look at the endless sea, and soon he saw a small black spot on the sea, he raised his right hand and pointed to the small black spot and asked, "Do you know where it is? "
The fishmonger set up a pergola with his hands, squinted his glasses and looked carefully for a moment before he said, "Your Excellency, there is a small island with a small area, only about a few hundred square meters."
"We can use that small island as an anchor point, and set up sea farms around it, so that the cultured sea fish can live in a similar environment to the wild, so that their meat quality will probably be very good." Eus suggested.
"Ah? Can it still be like this?" The fishmonger was completely shocked. When Eus mentioned raising fish, he thought of building several large ponds on land, and then raising the fish he caught in them.
But in a limited space, farmed fish cannot swim freely, and the meat quality will definitely degrade gradually, from chewy to soft.
However, if Eus's proposal is followed, then the area where the farmed fish can move will be much larger, and with the flow of seawater itself, the meat quality of the farmed fish should not degrade much.
"What's wrong? I will ask someone to help you build a sea farm. You are responsible for raising the fish. As long as you ensure that the species, quality, and quantity of the fish meet the requirements, you will definitely earn a lot of money every year."
Eus drew a big cake, and it was very likely to come true, so the fishmonger couldn't help swallowing and said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, we will do our best to fix the sea farm. "
Speaking of this, the fishmonger was a bit embarrassed: "Your Excellency, it's just that Hanxi City is hit by hurricanes every year, and only in particularly lucky years can it be spared, otherwise it will suffer at least two or three hurricanes a year.
Sea farms cannot be transferred to land, and there is no place to reinforce them. Wouldn’t they all be destroyed when a hurricane comes?That loss is too great. "
"It's simple. When I'm building a sea farm, I'll just ask someone to carve a few spell runes on it." Eus said casually.
How could the wizarding world not make good use of magic?If even spells and runes couldn't protect the sea farm, he would set up a high-defense magic circle on the small island.
Hearing what Eus said, the fishmonger opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
In his Three Views, spell runes are high-end gadgets that only a high-ranking mage can understand, so the places where spell runes are used should be very high.
For example, the rune armor worn by the cold lion cavalry, and the rune long sword they have not relaxed until now.
It was the first time he had heard that spell runes could be engraved on sea farms. He could only say that he was worthy of the Duke?This rich and powerful appearance is very enviable.
"My lord, I will contact other fishermen to get them ready. In addition to helping repair the pier, I will also repair several larger fishing boats and fix the sea farm." The fishmonger said.
"Okay. You go about your business!"
"Yes! Your Excellency the Duke!"
After the fishmonger left, Eus looked at the sea and began to be in a trance. Making caviar and developing fishery was only a small step to increase income.
In order to develop Hanxi City, and the entire Cold Lion Territory, what needs to be developed is the entire business.
There are almost no merchant ships docking in Hanxi City now. Apart from the fact that the pier has been in disrepair for a long time and cannot dock large ships, there is also one thing that Hanshi City has no special products.
In other words, if the production of special products cannot increase, if the merchants make this trip, not only will they not make much money, but they will also have to pay a lot of money. As time goes by, no merchants will come to Hanshi to collect it.
"So everything is back to square one..."
Eus was muttering to himself, when he heard a cold lion cavalry suddenly shout: "Duke, be careful!"
Before the words fell, there was the sound of metal colliding. It turned out to be a person dressed as a civilian. After sneaking close, he suddenly pulled out his dagger and launched a sneak attack on Eus.
Although the two cold lion cavalrymen reacted immediately, the rune longswords they drew were lightly touched by the opponent's dagger, and turned to other places, failing to hit the opponent's body at all.
And the opponent didn't get entangled with the two cold lion cavalry, his body twisted like a snake, got through the blockade of the two cold lion cavalry, and went straight to Eus.
Facing the pitch-black dagger, although Eus was a little surprised, his movements were unambiguous at all.
When the long rune sword was taken out of the space ring, Eus flicked it, and the scabbard flew towards the assassin like an arrow off the string.
The assassin still tapped lightly with the dagger, and the scabbard was bounced off, flying a few meters away and falling into the sea.
At the same time as the scabbard fell into the water, Eus' rune sword had already struck the assassin's dagger.
clang--
But this time, Eus' rune sword was not knocked away, but firmly blocked the assassin's dagger, and at the same time made the assassin stop.
The assassin was slightly startled, his move to push the weapon away was a killer move, unless the opponent was strong enough to completely crush him, it was impossible to completely ignore the impact of his move.
"The information is wrong! Withdraw!" As soon as the thought came to the assassin's mind, Eus had already moved.
With a turn of his wrist, the rune sword also turned, and the reflected sunlight flashed into the eyes of the assassin like a flash bomb under the power of Eus' order, causing the assassin to fall into temporary blindness.
Although this kind of blindness was only temporary, the assassin's vision would return to normal after two or three seconds at most, but two or three seconds was enough for Eus to do many things.
The assassin naturally knew this too, he waved the dagger in his hand into an afterimage, trying to prevent Eus from approaching, but Eus never planned to approach him from the beginning.
With a flick of his wrist, Eus took out the rune crossbow from the space ring, and loaded the crossbow in advance.
The assassin was less than one meter away from Eus. In order not to attract attention, he was still wearing civilian clothes and had no defense. Therefore, facing the arrow of Eus, he couldn't dodge it in the blind state. .
puff-
The crossbow directly shot through the assassin's body, and also shot through the assassin's heart. In order to prevent the assassin from destructing himself, Eus kicked the assassin on the body and kicked the assassin onto a trestle bridge.
The fragile trestle bridge was directly smashed down by the assassin, and the assassin also fell into the sea, and the surface of the sea was suddenly covered with blood.
