Release that Witch Chapter 486: Letter for help

"What about the salt industry?"

Western Region has many mines, so it is not surprising that mining is the pillar industry of stronghold, but the salt industry is the first time that memory of Fourth Prince knows nothing about local specialties. Roland also predates that salt production is all coastal. The main business of the city. ??

"stronghold, Elk, and Honeysuckle Family each have a salt well ... In fact, the three wells are very close together, basically located at the border of the territory. I heard that more than 200 years ago, the Western Region's civil war often started in this area. , It ’s been playing on and off for almost fifty years before it was divided. ”Barov said with a beard.

Then three families noble won the Western Region biggest winner here? He asked with interest, "How about the output of these salt well?"

"In addition to supplying Western Region, it will also be sold to Fallen Dragon Ridge and Scarlet Water City, as well as small villages along the way," Barov glanced at the records in the book, "almost occupying about half of the revenue of stronghold."

"So little?" Roland wondered, "The salt price on the market is not low."

"It's too difficult to get the salt out of the deep well," Prime Minister shook his head. "I know an noble at Silver Light City, and he has a salt well in his territory. The wellhead is only the size of a head and can't fit even a barrel. When collecting, you must first irrigate the water, wait for the salt to melt into the water, and then use the opened bamboo pole to scoop up. "

"Why not expand the wellhead?"

Barov smiled proudly, "His Royal Highness, because the salt layer is too deep, if you dig in the manner of a well, the inner wall will not collapse much deeper. According to him, the mouth of salt well is from the grandfather generation Mining has begun, and so far the depth of excavation can be almost no Kingdom Capital clock tower. "

So that's it, Roland thought, it seems that it is limited by the depth of excavation. People in this era have used the method of brewing brine to collect well salt. This is an effective method, but obviously there is still a lot of potential for improvement in the process. Whether it is using the power of Lotus to upgrade the salt mine, or switching to steam engine to extract brine, the collection efficiency can be greatly improved.

If ample supply of salt is available, not only can it bring a lot of profit to Neverwinter City, but also more healthy and delicious refined salt can be spread to every citizen's home. Know that what they are currently eating is still mixed with various impurities Coarse salt and salt blocks with foreign bodies.

"I see," thinking of this, the prince nodded with satisfaction. "You go down ... Don't let go of the expansion of the population. Just after Months of Demons, the refugees who lost their land should be in a state of foodlessness." , This is a good time to recruit people. "

"My thoughts are the same as yours, Your Highness." Barov stroked his chest, "The new envoy group will soon be out, and I think their gains will be far from last year."

After Prime Minister left, when Roland was planning to use stronghold's mineral natural resource, a rattling sound came from the window.

He turned his head and saw a gray urn landing on the window grille, with a circle of notes tied to his paws.

Nightingale Open the window and place the messenger in the house.

This is a secret letter from Longsong region. The writer is Petrov Hull.

Roland quickly finished reading the contents of the letter, and couldn't help laughing at becomes silent. It turned out that after Nightingale returned to the border area with himself, the work of cracking down on crime there was suddenly impossible. The reports of the masses are varied, and it is difficult to tell which ones are real situation and which ones are fabricated for bounty. The number of people who apply for jobs is less than half of the original Mouse. As a new Ministry of Justice long Ryan Dmitry, they are so busy every day that they can't suppress the rise of the black street forces. If we continue to do so, there is a risk that the law and order will deteriorate again.

Petrov wrote at the end of the letter, hoping that His Highness the Prince could give human and technical help. Although no name was specified, Roland knew that he wanted Nightingale and Vader to help Count Elk.

Pass the letter to Nightingale, who frowned after sweeping it, "Can't hold it so fast?"

"Because he has no experience in fighting Mouse at all, the former establishment of Raging Fire Gang was just to enjoy a full-fledged war game. Switching to cat-cat Mouse, it can't be done." Roland smiled, "this kind of situation I had expected that cracking down on Mouse will be a long process, and there will be repeated repetitions in the middle, but as long as the attack intensity is ensured and a better way of life is given at the same time, they will disappear sooner or later. Once on the regular, it will not be easy to get sick , It's true for people, it's true for cities. "

"Are you sending me there?" Nightingale sighed.

"Don't forget, Longsong and Bianyu are now a city and don't need to be so clear." He shrugged. "Did I not say that at the expanded conference before, one day we can be in Bianyu in the early morning. After breakfast in the district, one hour will handle the business in Longsong region. And you are the person in charge of Security Agency, naturally you have to travel back and forth between the two places frequently to inspect the various tasks in the territory.

"What would you do if I were gone." She shook her head. "Don't say you won't be in danger. Now both Timothy and Church will treat you as a stab in the eyes. In case they send witch to stab, only I can stop them. "

Roland originally wanted to say that he has God Punishment Stone. Generally, witch is not a threat, but I realized that the other person's concerns are not in this, "Listen to me ..."

"I ca n’t agree to anything you say, Wendy and Scroll will definitely stand by my side, you are the most important of Witch Union"

"I will come with you too."

"cough cough, is that so ..." Nightingale suddenly choked, then turned his head a little panic, avoiding his sight, "Since the other party has asked for this, only I have taken the lead."

The prince couldn't help laughing, "Bring Asia too, it's time for her to learn how to apply her abilities in practice."

In addition, Silvie and Soraya have to be added. While prospecting, by the way, the ID card system is also set up. It is even better to establish a lower-level City Hall by the way. He thought, I do n’t know those. How did the noble from Longsong Stronghold train?

...

Three days later, Roland led the witch and stronghold noble and boarded the ship to Longsong region.

Looking at the cement Stream Ship slowly moving in Scarlet Water River and the coal dross remaining in the cracks of the deck, he sighed helplessly. Reaching Longsong Stronghold in a day seems almost a impossible implementation in the past, but it is still too slow for him now, after all, there is a saying, time is money. Roland was thinking in his heart, while silently adding his own exclusive luxury tall ship to the production plan. (To be continued.) 8
