Chapter 32 Slave Trade (Part 1)

After two weeks, the Athenian town seemed to have returned to its former prosperity and busyness.

Because the materials were transported from the migration points, the time it took to build a new town was not too long. All the cut trees could be recycled, and the cultivation of one or two months also allowed the urban residents to master quite proficient construction skills!

At least in carpentry.

Murphy made great changes to the new town planning. He divided the prototype of the town into two pieces, one of which was a large port and the other part was the newly planned urban area.

The towns surrounded on the high ground were divided into three large sections by Murphy, namely residential areas, temples and barracks.

As for the original commercial area, Murphy took it out and placed it on the port where it had been expanded several times.

Murphy's idea was to use the port as a trading area for trade, while the town itself was a tight semi-closed place. Using the port as a buffer can reduce the secret exposure of the town itself and prevent the impact of the indigenous people on the town itself to the greatest extent! It is normal for cultural exchanges to hedge. At present, Murphy, with his strength, has not opened his door to face the indigenous people's ideas.

That's why he found a way to deal with all foreign trade affairs at the port, and he even planned to build a smaller Governor's Office at the port.

The port is about 300 meters away from the newly built town. The road has been rested and is a five-meter-wide road covered with gravel and mud. It can drive any carriage and transport goods smoothly.

On the port, Murphy planned a commercial area and built an additional blacksmith shop.

Of course, this is just a prototype.

In fact, Murphy’s plan was to build the Athenian towns and ports into terrain similar to Xia Pi and Xiaopei during the Three Kingdoms period, and to support each other!

As a trade center, the port does not require much energy to defend itself. Its main function is to seek trade development. It is inevitable to establish a fleet in the future, so Murphy did not even plan to erect a wooden fence for the port. The town, as the center of everything, that is, the town newly built on the highlands, was built by Murphy into a semi-closed and not open to the public.

Others entering and leaving the town need to conduct a rigorous inspection, and activities such as training weapons to build temples and sacrifices in the army will be concentrated in this semi-enclosed inner city.

The port is only about three hundred meters away from the town, so Murphy is not worried about not being able to provide assistance or retreat when encountering enemies.

As long as material and population keep up, Murphy will immediately start digging the Circle of the City, and then use the port as an outer periphery to build an inner city out of thin air.

This is a construction plan that can be attacked and retreated and defended.

Because in the future, the port can be expanded as a side of the outer city.

Murphy’s ultimate idea was to build a large river city. Such a river city dominated by trade, the ports accounted for a very large proportion.

The townspeople are building houses in a hurry, because of the trade passage opened by Marquis Elizabeth, there are not many indigenous people coming to the port for the slave trade.

Murphy is going to build a batch of hotels and expand the original commercial area.

Maintaining public order are the two teams of Greek infantry who have experienced the Gnoll War and have rich experience. The wounds on their bodies and the firm expressions on their faces all tell the indigenous people that they are powerful soldiers and soldiers who have experienced blood and killing!

This is a very important point in ensuring public security!

Murphy once again found herself underestimating the woman Marquis Elizabeth.

Because of her talent, even Murphy couldn't help but be amazed!

This woman has an extremely outstanding business acumen, and her sophisticated social skills have also won her a lot of extra points. This woman took over more than 900 werewolf slaves in just seven days and successfully created a slave trade boom inside the southern plains.

Here, we must explain in detail.

First of all, the fur of more than a thousand were the first to be taken off.

Black market merchants are very welcome to this kind of thing because they are not worried about the sale of fur coats, even if it comes from a humanoid creature. This will only make it easier to process and save a lot of manual costs!

For the poor living at the bottom and those living in some poor areas, the value of more than a dozen silver coins is just equal to two sheep.

Two sheep can't let you survive a cold winter safely.

But a zodiac fur can do it!

These biological furs above two meters tall can keep humans warm in all aspects, and are definitely pure natural furs.

The removal of the werewolf's fur gave Marquis Elizabeth a sum of more than 10,000 silver coins!

The funds of this ten thousand silver coins were the beginning of her plan.

As a nobleman, this woman has a political mind that matches her. In the following time, she mingled in the aristocratic circle within humanity, successfully arousing the anger of the aristocrats who lost their territory and the sense of crisis of the aristocrats inside.

For granted, nine hundred werewolves were quickly ordered out by the arena!

If it were just this, Murphy would not have been so amazed by this woman. What surprised Murphy the most was that she actually found a way to gain the recognition of the noble parliament and gave them a desperate plan to deal with the gnolls!

As we all know, the kobolds in the southern wilderness are making trouble in the rear of humans, which also prevents humans from concentrating on the entire southern plains from concentrating on defeating the werewolf army on the front line. The hindered logistics support has forced the city-confederate coalition forces to be in an embarrassing position of passive defense. It is not that they do not want to attack, but that any action may cause irreparable disasters when they are attacked from both sides!

Of course, this situation would have been delayed until autumn. At that time, the new army had been trained. With a population of up to three million in the southern plains, even if it was attacking from two lines, it would be quite hard to do so.

However, the military inaction has also angered the young nobles who like military merits.

In order to break the deadlock as soon as possible, they agreed without hesitation to the plan proposed by Marquis Elizabeth.

In fact, the Marquis Elizabeth's plan was very simple.

That is, supported by the nobles, vigorously promoting the werewolf slave trade.

Whether it is a dead gnoll or a living gnoll, as long as you can bring it back, you will be able to get a reward!

Selfish desires are the greatest motivation of human hearts!

As we all know, slave traders have a very good armed force in their hands.

This group of armed forces only serves them privately and only serves their interests. So if this group of armed forces play a role, they need to provide enough interests to attract them!

The number of humans scattered on the front line exceeded 200,000, and their hatred of the werewolves could maintain the initial trade root.

As long as the benefits are large enough, the civilian slave merchants and adventurers will flock to them. These profit-seeking people will carefully avoid the zombies' army and attack the weak zombies in the rear as much as possible!

And these are enough for the noble council.

The total number of werewolves is only about 100,000. Even if there are twenty silver coins per werewolves, ten thousand werewolves only only 200,000 silver coins. This money is already a very small amount of money spent on military expenses and pensions.

Losing 10,000 people is definitely a trauma for the werewolf!

In fact, the noble parliament did not include the Marquis of Elizabeth's overly beautiful reverie into the scope of thinking.

What they really value is the harassment effect of doing this on the rear of the gnolls.

As long as this kind of trade becomes large, a panic will definitely spread behind the werewolf.

After all, even if it is a wild beast, it will feel scared and afraid to see its kind of person being stripped of fur and sold as goods!
