Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning

Chapter 228: The Grand Canal And Inland Ports

These nobles are basically caring people.

Because they had the template of the Tours family, they no longer needed to be as careful as Lawrence, the pathfinder party, and they came directly with full sincerity.

Gold coins, privileges, and taxes can all be discussed.

As long as Gray can satisfy the wealth in their territory, everything will be fine.

Gray naturally accepts everyone who comes, and those who come now are all smart people. Gray is very satisfied with doing business with smart people.

The conditions are still similar, Gray just sits down and collects the money, and the nobles are reduced to wage earners.

Because these nobles are not the first to eat crabs, most of them are inland nobles, and there are no ports, wharfs, fisheries, etc. "It is naturally impossible for Gray to give them the same share as Lawrence.

These nobles agreed to an 82% share, which was 10% less than Lawrence.

The nobles did not know the gap between them and Lawrence.

An 82% share may seem small, but in fact, given the popularity of Gray's northern goods, a 20% profit is a huge fortune.

The nobles also thought about talking again, but Gray said that if he wanted to love her or not, he would leave.

Nobles originally had tempers.

But these days, Gray lets Tie Ya pull his troops to run and practice on the plains every day.

Occasionally, troops would be mobilized to the west to kill monsters that wandered near the territory.

Looking at Gray's powerful army and the cavalry picking up monster corpses on the tip of their spears.

The nobles think that peace is the most important thing in business.

If you don’t want that 10% profit, don’t give it up!

The nobles smiled stiffly, and they silently compared their own army with Gray's well-equipped, large and powerful army.

If there is no way, there is no way to fight.

Their army couldn't even form a uniform formation, let alone such sophisticated equipment and tall horses.

In fact, these are secondary.

What matters most is the sharpness and fearless courage in the eyes of Gray's soldiers.

This kind of thing is something that other nobles' armies cannot have.

This is a temperament that can only be cultivated by killing and winning on the battlefield.

One look at them and they understood that even the king's elite army would be in trouble.

Not to mention, these are just human soldiers.

Who is Gray?

This guy is the king of the orcs.

His real terror is the orc army.

After some friendly exchanges, Gray gained millions of gold coins and reached cooperation with the nobles.

I believe that after these nobles go back, they will become the Shenghe Sect.

Even the king cannot really launch a war regardless of everything.

When the time comes to become disloyal, the royal family will be in danger.

Especially when Gray still has sanctuary-level combat power.

The royal sanctuary no longer has any deterrent effect.

That's right, Gray made the nobles inadvertently discover that Amelia, who was following Gray, was a powerful person in the sanctuary.

I believe this news will be known to the Beirut royal family soon.

Gray was already waiting for the other party to admit his mistake.

After the business was concluded, Gray was ready to start dealing with the pirates and robbers on the land to the east.

Mondo is already his city, so there will be no problems there, and there will even be some efforts there to support the plan to build an inner harbor.

In fact, Gray has many energetic orcs under his command.

They work much faster than the weak humans in Mundo City.

But Gray felt that since he was one of his own, he must be given preferential treatment.

Although ordinary people in Mondo don't know yet about Mondo's change of ownership, they can feel Gray's kindness in advance.

In this way, even if the news of Mondo's change of ownership leaks out in the future, the civilians will not be disgusted with Gray.

After you have a territory, you must consider the people's hearts.

Of course, Mondo's population of hundreds of thousands is a good population supplement for Gray.

Fortunately, Gray has always been kind-hearted and doesn't want to see his own people suffer.

So without hesitation, he sent envoys openly and openly to pretend to understand the people of Mondo. He wanted to eliminate the bandits and pirates around him, and planned to open up the river to form a huge inland port, which required a lot of manpower and material resources, so he came to Mondo to recruit people.

I heard that the Beastman King actually recruited human workers.

The people in Mondo City were stunned.

Rumors spread for a while, and many people were prejudiced against orcs, thinking that they were cruel and could eat people every day.

In fact, Gray has never seen orcs eating humans, because they essentially feel that they are the same as humans.

Because rumors were spreading, no one was willing to sign up even if Gray's offer was very favorable.

In the end, there was no other choice. The king of Mondo City came out to speak and ensured that the people would not be in any danger. Only then did some brave young adults who were short of food at home sign up.

In fact, they have long wanted to eliminate the bandits and pirates around them.

Because of those guys, the farmland in Mondo City can only be limited to a small area.

Once you get too far away from Mondo City, you will be targeted by thieves.

Those guys not only like to rob, but also kill people and rob women.

Mundo's army was too small, and the terrain of this generation was complex, so the bandits disappeared without a trace after sneaking into the dense forest.

The army suffered a huge loss when fighting passing bandits in dense forests and mountains.

Therefore, the problem of bandits has never been solved, and the people of Mondo can only continue to operate in a small area.

Of course, to elves, all bandits and pirates are rubbish and can be killed if they want.

However, they must consider the situation of the elves, as the elves cannot be exposed.

And if there are bandits and pirates operating around, then this place will not be targeted by other forces.

On the contrary, Mundo will become more and more inconspicuous.

Therefore, the elves have not solved the surrounding bandits at all.

As long as they don't harm Mondo City.

And now, Gray wants to clean up the land here, and they will naturally not stop him.

So on the day after Mondo City started recruiting civilian workers, Gray's army had already arrived in the nearby area where bandits were active.

There was no need for Gray to intervene in this kind of thing. Mia and a few orc (Li's) elders, along with a few warrior knights who had just joined the group, plus two thousand troops, took about a week to conquer all the local people. The bandits' den was bloodbathed.

The workers arrived at the scene the day after the bandits were eliminated.

Then, while everyone was dumbfounded, he directly used the earth-based holy domain to completely change the local terrain.

Out of thin air, a huge river channel thousands of meters wide and tens of meters deep was formed between the port selected by Gray and the sea.

As for the terrain of the inner harbor, it is also a large circular pit. After some infrastructure here is completed, and hundreds of rivers are concentrated here using magic, a perfect inner harbor can be formed.

Gray has figured out the terrain, and the rest is the work of the workers. They need to strengthen the river embankments and use reinforced concrete to make the river strong.

In addition, the construction of the port is also their exhaustion.

Gray doesn't care about that.

After finishing the work, Gray walked away in the eyes of countless people in awe.
