Chapter 415: Opening up wasteland (additional update, please vote for me)
The land reclamation of the Black Fire Land is in full swing.
Although the pitted charcoal road is simple and rough, it effectively ensures the movement of supplies throughout the territory.
At this moment, the sun is shining brightly.
The charcoal road on the broken snowfield looked wet due to the melting snow.
However, the good hydrophobicity of carbon residue maintains the stability of the road and will not make it muddy due to infiltration of snow water. However, the road construction was hasty and the roadbed was not repeatedly compacted, resulting in some unevenness.
Huge-toothed Miller was sitting in his carriage. Even if he put a mattress on it, he was still jolted so hard that his waist almost broke.
“Miller, are you here?” He couldn’t help but lift the curtain of the carriage and asked his eldest son who was driving in front.
The eldest son was also named Miller. Many serfs were like this, and the name was passed around.
However, the eldest son had a red birthmark on his face, so he was nicknamed Scarface Miller: “Not yet, father.”
“Choose a better road, old man, my bones are almost falling apart.”
“I said, Father, why do you have to go through all this trouble and come to the Black Fire Land to find your fault?” Scarface Miller complained, “There is our grocery store in this town, and our store is also in the Black-rumped Snake Manor. Isn’t it enough to just guard the grocery store?”
Hugeya Miller is the owner of the grocery store in Black-waisted Snake Manor.
Hearing this, he glared at his eldest son: “Old man, if I don’t work hard, how can you still have enough to eat with just you idiots?”
Scarface Miller shrank his neck.
Huge-toothed Miller started talking and couldn’t stop: “I only have a few coppers at home, but everyone doesn’t want to work hard. They want to lie down and eat from me? Let me tell you, several of my grandsons are going to be sent to the Cavaliers.” If you don’t make progress in college, your grandchildren still want to make progress!”
“It’s not like I’m not trying to make progress.” Scarface Miller retorted, “Isn’t it because the conditions are not good now? It would be great to open a store when the conditions in Black Fire Land improve, so as not to suffer so much.”
“What do you know!” Huya Miller scolded, “Now that the Black Fire Land is lacking everything, it is the best opportunity to make money. And if you don’t work hard when conditions are hard, you won’t be able to work hard even if the conditions are good in the future. Chance.”
After scolding.
The gap-toothed Miller said proudly: “Old man, if I didn’t have some friendship with the lord, would it still be my turn to do the good things about the mobile grocery store?”
Then he rambled on about how he was able to recognize people with his keen eye, and he was sure that the Black-rumped Snake Manor would prosper under Lord Russell’s management. He took the lead in opening a grocery store in the Black-rumped Snake Manor, and how he followed Lord Russell Drink and talk.
Even though Mr. Russell is now the Dragon Knight, Dragon Domain Lord, and Thunder Flame Baron, he will still be remembered.
Just leave the mobile grocery store arrangements to him.
“The lord thinks highly of me, Huya Miller, but even if I don’t make money, I will start this old mobile grocery store!” Huya Miller said loudly, and for a while he was quite impassioned like “A scholar will die for his confidant.”
The eldest son, Scarface Miller, flattened his mouth and murmured in a low voice: “Who are you kidding? If you don’t make money, you will pretend to be sick better than anyone else… Besides, you are not invited to do the mobile grocery store alone, there are several The grocery store owners are here.”
In order to increase the serfs’ production enthusiasm, Russell not only provided the serfs with rations, but also gave them part of their wages.
But the Blackfire Land is all wasteland, and there is not even a place to spend money.
So Russell asked people to invite small traders from the Youguang River Valley to come and open various mobile shops to provide various convenient services to the serfs in the territory.
The Hugeya Miller family obtained a mobile grocery store license and followed the caravan into the Blackfire Land to sell goods.
After reminiscing about the past, the carriage has passed through the broken snowfield and entered the land of black fire.
On the edge of the cave, a small market has been initially formed, and various temporary shops have been opened. Many carriages stop here, and the carriage drivers like to have a meal here, or rest for a night before setting off.
“Miller Huya, are you here too?” Someone in the crowd called out Miller Huya’s name, “Hey, the whole family is here?”
Scarface Miller parked the carriage and followed his two brothers over, saying hello to each other: “Uncle Big Eyes.”
Big Eyes, who was already over fifty years old, touched his goatee and said with emotion: “I have been doing business for half my life, and I want to be stable when I get old, so I came to the Black Fire Land to see if I can find some livelihood.”
“You old boy travels with the caravan every year and saves a lot of money. You might as well build a shop in the Black Fire Land and start a business steadily.” Huya Miller said.
“I have this idea, but the town in the Black Fire Land has not been decided yet, and it will take several years to wait for it to be decided.” Big Eyes said, “I can’t sit back and rest in vain in the past few years, so I came here to find some small business subsidies first. “
“What are you going to do?”
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Big Eyes had actually thought about it, but he didn’t want to tell Huya Miller, after all, how could he share his money-making ideas with others.
He wanted to open a tofu shop, and it would be best if he could rent hundreds of acres of land and grow his own beans.
Since Russell invented tofu, the delicacy of tofu has quickly spread in Youguang Valley, especially among the common people.
The nobles have too many food options to choose from and have little demand for tofu, but there are not many things that common people can eat. Tofu is definitely a good product to improve their lives.
Therefore.
Big Eyes has identified the field of tofu. After all, it is inconvenient for ordinary people to make tofu at home. If he can open a tofu shop, he will definitely not have to worry about business.
And now he can open a shop, push a tofu cart, and go to land reclamation sites to sell tofu.
“Break some beer by the way, and pair it with some snacks like peanuts, broad beans, melon seeds, etc. It’s not worth it!”
Big Eyes was proud of himself, but he remained calm when facing Miller Haoya, and even showed a wary look: “Can’t you tell Miller Haoya that my tofu cart can sell groceries, and his grocery store can also sell them?” Tofu!”
Huge Tooth Miller obviously didn’t know that Big Eye was already planning to steal his business.
Sitting down at the tea shop, he was still showing off his mobile grocery store: “The lord saw me that day and asked me – Huge Tooth Miller, how much money can you make guarding the shop? Go to my territory Black Fire Earth, there is gold everywhere!”
Hula.
A gust of wind blew by.
Suddenly someone shouted loudly: “The two-legged dragon, it’s Master Luo Sai!”
But I saw a black bipedal flying dragon, spreading its wings that covered the sky and the sun, passing over the temporary market.
The gap-toothed Miller immediately stared and said, “It’s really Lord Rossay!”
Then he knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: “Praise the lord, praise Lord Rossay!”
Many people in the temporary market could not help but prostrate themselves on the ground like Miller with his teeth, worshiping the lord who was leaving on a dragon.
Although they did not see whether there was anyone on the back of the wyvern.
When the back of the two-legged dragon disappeared from the sky, Haoya Miller and others got up from the ground, looking at the sky and sighing.
“Lord Rosey has been able to protect the Black Fire Land for hundreds of years, but our good days are still to come!” Haoya Miller sighed.
Big Eyes couldn’t help but nod: “Yes, with the protection of the Fluorescent Mushroom Family, life will get better and better.”
