Rise of the Plants

An iron ingot weighs about ten kilograms. Four thousand iron ingots are 40,000 kilograms, which is 20,000 kilograms. This is a weight of twenty tons. It is indeed not easy to transport the people they brought and the primitive delivery trucks.

But everyone was excited at this time. Under the command of Lao Muka, everyone started pushing the cart without waiting for Chi Nan to say anything. They were unwilling to use Chi Nan's own horses and let Chi Nan ride them like this.

Chi Nan had no choice but to let them go. To transport such a large amount of goods, it would take three days to return to their own territory. This was only the time to reach the intersection outside Hongsha Ridge. The road to Hongshaling is even more difficult to walk.

But Chi Nan was still very happy. This time the harvest was greater than he had imagined. He got the iron ore that his territory lacked. Now his army and the iron ingots needed to continue to expand the army were available. You can even use it to improve your own life. To improve the lives of people in the entire territory, this iron product is not enough.

Alas, I still need to continue trading. Farah watched Chi Nan leave from a distance and slammed a cup to the ground. "Damn half-elf, you made me lose face again."

"Sir, what should I do with that one?" A soldier pointed at the screaming pointed chin on the ground.

"What else can I do? Take him for treatment. What a waste. Even if he is a half-elf, he is still a noble. If he dares to disrespect the nobles like this, he should be thankful to God that he is alive."

So many soldiers were lost this time, and the city wall collapsed. These all need to be replenished and repaired. It seems that I will have a lot of things next. Fortunately, I made a lot of money from this transaction, and I could at least give an explanation to the nobles above. Really, it's all that damn half-elf's fault.

If it weren't for that half-elf, this batch of goods would be his own, and he wouldn't have to pay any iron ingots, nor would he have to lose the city wall or his own men. Farah felt like there was a fire in her heart that could not be vented.

"My lord, my lord, we have brought you the pneumatic cannon left by the Lord Face to Face outside."

Hearing this, Farah suddenly looked excited: "Great, take me over and have a look. Hahahaha, you idiot half-elf, you have kept such a powerful weapon, you deserve to make me rich."

But when Farah walked to the square, he finally understood what it meant to have extreme joy leading to sorrow.

"Sir, my lord, I'm sorry. These pneumatic cannons are starting to wither. They can't be fixed no matter what. Sir, please come over and take a look."

Hearing this, Farah suddenly became anxious. He stepped forward and took a closer look. Sure enough, the leaves on the pneumatic cannon began to wither. Even the pneumatic cannon itself began to age slowly, visible to the naked eye, very quickly.

"Damn half-elf, you actually dare to play tricks on me again, I, Farah, will definitely make you die badly."

The people around him were silent, and their lord was in a bad mood, so they didn't dare to attract Farah's attention.

On the other side, Chi Nan was riding a horse and leading the team back. Because Lao Muka was older, Chi Nan did not let him push the cart, but asked him to follow him.

"Sir, you suffered some losses in the previous transaction. However, my subordinates understand what my lord meant. The reason for the loss this time is not to offend Baron Farah, so the next transaction should be left to my subordinates."

Chi Nan was stunned: "What's wrong? Why not offend Farah? Haven't we already offended him?"

Lao Muka was also surprised: "Sir, aren't you because Farah is backed by the Governor and the major lords, so you deliberately suffered a loss and gave him some benefits?"

It can be heard from Farah's words that behind Farah is indeed Governor Remas and some big nobles. These big nobles wanted to control the iron mines here, so they asked Farah to be the lord here. I thought wrongly at first, thinking that the lord here had some powerful family behind him, but he didn't expect that he was just a puppet.

"I'm not afraid of them. Although those nobles are powerful, it's just now, and we can be self-sufficient in everything and don't need their help at all. Why should I worry about offending them?"

Suddenly, Chi Nan's eyes narrowed: "Tell me how much we have lost."

Lao Muka was a little embarrassed, but he still said it: "Qixiang flowers have a price but no market. Although the market price is one golden dragon, you can even sell five golden dragons per plant on the black market. This time the shipment volume is relatively large. But it must be more than four golden dragons. There is also flour, the quantity is too small, it is a luxury product for the nobles, and the price must be several times higher."

"The other thing is those iron ingots. Although the market price is indeed one gold dragon per piece, if purchased in Huangshaling, one gold dragon should be able to be exchanged for three or four iron ingots. That's probably about that much."

Chi Nan was stunned, and it took him a long time to react: "You profiteer, Farah, I will remember you. If I don't let you lose a few pieces of meat next time, I will take your last name." I didn't expect it. I thought I would make a lot of money. , I didn’t expect that the other party actually made a big profit. I just took a sip of the soup, and I was still very proud of it.

From now on, professional matters must be left to professionals, and you must not mess around on your own. This kind of loss is enough once. If it happens several times, the loss will be really big.

"Okay, let's forget what happened this time. There will never be a next time."

Chi Nan would not believe that Farah would forget such a thing after getting a cheap deal. This guy was very petty, and with the governor and other nobles behind him, he would definitely come to cause trouble for him.

The top priority now is to quickly develop your own strength and quickly improve your status under this great opportunity, so that the nobles will not dare to deal with you.

Those nobles are not trivial like Farah. The subordinates of the big nobles have tens of thousands of troops, and some even have hundreds of thousands of troops. Once such an army comes over, their own territory will not be able to stop it. .

The number of people is too small, which is a flaw. No, we must collect more refugees. It seems that we need to develop the periphery as soon as possible. Only the small place of Hongsha Ridge is not enough. Hongsha Ridge Chinan has already thought about using it as a rear logistics base. It may be used in the future, but it may not be possible in a short time.

After waving his hand, Chi Nan said to Lao Muka: "Send someone to go back and notify Hongsha Ridge, rest the road outside, and tell them that we have brought back four thousand iron ingots this time. Also, summon the blacksmiths, Keep them on call.”
