Release that Witch Chapter 212: Caravan and new intelligence

The second month of summer, the day of midsummer, Margery arrives as scheduled.

This time, the ships brought by the business group far exceeded the maximum capacity that dock can accommodate. Many sailboats can only dock at the river and wait for the ship to unload before they can connect to the trestle.

This made Roland realize that small town dock had to be expanded.

Greycastle Industrial Co., Ltd. successfully completed the task this month, reducing the scrap rate of parts to 40%, and successfully produced three steam engine before the delivery date. Although compared with the third-generation steam engine currently in use by the small town, the foreign trade products produced by the factory are far worse in terms of power, air leakage, noise, vibration, etc., but it has been a considerable improvement compared to the first machine. .

Crescent Moon Bay Caravan brought a team of 300 craftsmen according to the contract. Roland will place them all in the industrial park on the south bank of Scarlet Water River. In addition to building a new wooden plant beside the original plant, he also ordered Karl to be near the river bank in the park An employee dormitory was built at the location. In order to complete the facility within one month, Karl will be responsible for technical guidance after huge logs are delivered to the site, and Anna will cut. The longest time-consuming wood processing session was completed in just two days, and Karl, a former teacher of Anna, was stunned by her new ability. In just six months, the thin and quiet girl has been Become confident and radiant.

Roland held a sumptuous dinner in the castle. Welcome businessmen.

At the same time, white wine also appeared in the sight of everyone for the first time.

"Every time I come to you, there is something new, Margery really did not lie to me," Hogg said. "Even the wine is so different, compared to this ... this ..."

"White wine," Margery reminded.

"Yes, white wine! Compared to it, ale and wine are dull," he grinned, and drank the wine in his glass. "His Royal Highness, you must sell me a few cases of this thing . "

"I think it tastes too hot, or wine is more suitable for me," the business woman shook her head with a smile.

Roland smiled, "It's about taste, not everyone can accept high-concentration distilled spirits. I don't plan to promote it, but I just happened to make some for everyone to try."

In the era when brewing wine is still mainstream, distilled spirits are obviously a new star with great development potential, such as later generations of liquor, rum, whiskey and vodka are distilled spirits with high alcohol content. On top of the wine, a series of bartending cultures have been extended accordingly. But for the current Border Town, it is too early to develop this industry.

"His Royal Highness, I have sent someone to collect a lot of information about what you wrote to me last time," Margery said. "Eternal Winter has not changed much since it was controlled by Church. It is the resistance of Kingdom of Wolf Heart. Much stronger, it is said that all Church troops gathered in Broken Tooth Castle and could not move forward for more than two months. In addition, Dawn King sent a messenger to Greycastle, thinking that the move of Church was not to eliminate witch at all, but to occupy the kingdom of the mainland. China establishes an alliance, expels the Church forces, and jointly fights the Holy City of Hermes. "

"How did Kingdom Capital respond?" Roland asked.

"Imperial Prime Minister Marquis Wyke rejected the proposal and blamed the other party for being nonsense." Gamore shrugged. "This incident caused a lot of enthusiasm in Kingdom Capital, and even noble did not reach a consensus. As far as I know, many people It supports the alliance. After all, Church currently shows no sign of returning the ruling power to the successors of Eternal Winter. "

"Timothy didn't show up?"

"The Prime Minister ’s answer is definitely out of Timothy. He has taken the army to eastern region." Marlan has a dignified expression. "I heard that a huge fleet landed at Sea Wind Region and ran along the coast of eastern region. The plundering has not even spared the church, and many fjord merchants have also suffered. "

"A large number of refugeess have appeared in eastern region, and both Hogg and I have taken a lot of them," Margery added. "They said that these looters not only robbed the money, but also people did not let go, all the things they could not take were burned. It ’s like turning the entire eastern region into a piece of white ground. This is definitely a heavy blow to the Timothy who just won the noble of eastern region. "

It should be a happy thing to be hit by Timothy, but when I heard that the other party was looting the population, Roland felt a lot of pain in my heart. "Those refugees ..."

"Are you interested?" Margery smiled, "I was guessing when I saw that letter. You may want to buy a large number of slaves to enrich your labor force. But compared to the foreign refugees of Eternal Winter and Wolf Heart, these Greycastle people may not be willing to sell as slaves. "

"I don't need to use them as slaves. As long as these people are willing to settle in Border Town, they will have food and housing, and they will get paid for their work." Roland corrected that he also realized that this was a good expansion. Chances are, despite the news coming a little behind, "How many more are they?"

"Most of the strong refugees have been accepted by noble and caravans. At present, nearly 10,000 people have gathered outside the city of Kingdom Capital, but there are more young people and women."

"Anyway, I will send someone to screen the way," said the prince. "Does it take them to deal with Kingdom Capital officials?"

"No," Margery waved his hand. "They want you to take these people away, otherwise there is not enough relief food. If their number continues to increase, it will likely trigger a riot."

...

After the dinner, Roland returned to the office and called personal guard Tasa.

This incident made him realize that his intelligence system is very backward. If he can know the refugees incident as soon as possible, he can prepare early and bring more people to Border Town. At present, all his understanding of outside information comes from the caravan, and the monthly transmission speed cannot meet the demand at all.

Even if the army is stationed at Longsong Stronghold and an outpost is established, it can only monitor Western Region. If you want to fight for the Greycastle throne, you must expand your eyes to the whole country and even the entire continent.

Roland doesn't have so many loyal staff to form a complete intelligence team, and spies and secret agents lurking all over the place cannot be said. So he plans to start with the basics and arrange for some people to go to Kingdom Capital to collect information gathered from various places. Not to mention detailed monitoring, at least you can quickly understand the overall changes, and not be as passive as today.

Tasa, who knows the Kingdom Capital Black Street Force very well, is the best candidate for Prince.

"You asked me to return to Kingdom Capital with the caravan?" Tasa froze.

"Yes, you have two tasks. The first is to accept refugees from eastern region for me. I will send a soldier team of about 100 people to escort. Detailed screening conditions will be told before the caravan set off. Yes. "

"Yes!"

"The second point is that after the refugee wave ends, you will stay at Kingdom Capital and collect information for me from all over the place. You have dealt with underground Mouse before, you should know how to do it, and the Margery caravan will do its best Support you. Ask them for the cost of the mission directly. Unlike the last time I went to Scarlet Water City to spread the witch news, this time there is no upper limit. "He put a revolver on the table," Pay attention to protect yourself, hope to be able to Hear your good news soon. "
