224. New fleet
The thorny flag flutters in the wind.
On the coast, waves are bursting. White gulls land on the masts of the ship.
Two high tower buildings have been built to a height of fifteen meters.
"Is that a lighthouse?"
"No, that's a turret."
“What is a turret?”
Xiqi had no way to explain to Lea in detail, only saying it was a weapon that was powerful enough to sink the ship.
Lea changed the topic without understanding: "You have a good harvest this year?"
"Yes! It has been bumper harvest for three consecutive years, and the food is too high to be sold. I can only get wine and raise livestock."
"The cities where fertilizers have been popularized in the Principality have also been harvested, and a lot of food is stored in the granary this year."
"That's good. If you don't have food, we will not dare to make wine."
The two of them were walking on the bustling streets. Lea was very curious about the bicycles passing by the roadside and offered to buy one and give it a try.
So Xiqi took Lea to the bicycle store.
Business here is very good, with a group of young people and children surrounding the door.
"Tessa!"
The young brown-haired woman dropped the customer beside her and hurriedly greeted her: "Xiqi is in charge."
"Cyclist second generation, prepare one for me."
"OK."
The design of the second-generation bicycle is more reasonable than the first generation. The tires are larger and thicker. The steel strength has also been upgraded, and the overall experience has increased a lot.
"How should I ride this?" Lea hesitated for a while, letting Xiqi support herself up.
"Just step forward with force. If you want to stop, grab the brake."
Xiqi demonstrates that the brakes are under the handlebar.
Lea took a deep breath. As the captain, she was not lacking in adventurous spirit. She stomped on the pedals and the bicycle swayed on the road.
So that's how it is...
A completely different and wonderful feeling, she carefully held the direction of the handlebar and tried to pursue balance. She gradually realized the trick and became able to ride easily.
I tried to stop the brakes, but I accidentally overturned. Fortunately, I supported it with one foot in time, and a glad expression appeared on my face.
"Wait for me!"
Xiqi trotted and waved behind her, and Lea staggered and rode back.
"This car is very convenient! It's also very fast! How much does it cost?"
"The cost is not the steel and handicrafts fees. The latest model sold for Yijinlong, the first generation of the old model is 89 silver dollars."
"It's a little expensive!"
"The main reason is that there is no man making it, and things are vaguely expensive."
"Then I'll go in and get some cheaper."
"Old rule, 20% off the retail price."
"Get a hundred vehicles first!"
"Not that many, the process is quite complicated, and there are only more than ten vehicles in stock. I can give you ten vehicles."
Lea nodded slowly, while pushing the car, the two of them returned to the store. Xiqi took a lock and put it in the basket in front of the bicycle, saying it was a gift.
On the first day of using the bicycle, Lea rode along the outer ring road of Donggang City.
I have to admit that this is really a great invention. The speed of people rushing to the road is at least three times faster. It was originally half an hour from Fulin Castle to Donggang City Governor's Hall. Now it only takes ten minutes, and maybe it can be faster, only seven or eight minutes.
If the Principality can popularize such vehicles, the connection between various places will undoubtedly be closer.
I just heard that this car occasionally has some problems, such as chain drops and air leakage, which need to be dealt with simply.
The 500 craftsmen brought by Leya are highly valued by Fulinbao. Now all workshops lack industrial population, and even less craftsmen who master technology.
These five hundred people are just a timely help.
However, the number is still not enough, so Bruno proposed to send Evelyn to Wanglong Port to transport more people.
If the Duke of Defen could only carry five or six hundred people, then the Evelyn would not carry less than two thousand people.
In fact, the number of people can be even higher. However, it will seriously affect the living environment of the boaters and will also bring more dangers and adverse factors to sailing.
Lovey once thought it would be difficult for the Duke of Defen to accommodate more than 200 people. It was not until he saw five hundred people coming off the ship with his own eyes that he found that he had far underestimated the carrying capacity of the magic sailboat.
The Duke of Defen stayed at the port for the third day.
Another fleet of ships was anchored in the port, with a total of three magic ships, each several times larger than the Duke of Defen and only slightly smaller than the Evelyn.
The people on the ship claimed to be from the Central Mainland and hoped to establish a trade relationship with Fulinbao.
"How do you think of this city?"
"It's very average! The hygiene is done well, but it's not as good as the cities in our kingdom."
"It's a very good city in the Eastern Continent, so don't have too high standards."
"Yes! Compared with the dirty cities in the East Continent, this city is indeed very unusual. Look at their soldiers and their weapons..."
Captain Yu Ling stood at the bow of the ship with his hands in his arms, with pure white hair and even his eyebrows white. He looked repaired. He was like two blades, giving people a sharp feeling.
Behind her was the second mate and several backbone-level crew members. Those who can become backbone have the strength to break the limit!
The first mate has disembarked and negotiated with representatives from Donggang City. After about half an hour, he returned to the ship to report to the captain Yu Linghui: "Donggang City is very welcome to us, but the cargo seems to be not much, and some high-end craftsmanship cargoes must be purchased in limited quantities."
"Let's get off the boat." Yu Ling said calmly.
When I entered this city, my first impression was very good, at least it was green and the hygiene on the roadside was very good.
Houses on the main road have three stories high at the lowest level, which intuitively shows strength!
but...
Yu Ling gently lifted her collar. The wind in this city was so uncomfortable. She just walked normally and felt a little difficult to breathe.
"Hello, ma'am, I am the butler of Fort Fulin, Mussophie." The Pandaren introduced himself.
His cute appearance is very suitable for serving as an ambassador for peace.
"My name is Yu Ling, I come from the Central Continent, the ocean-going trade fleet of China and North Korea. I am very happy to know you, Mr. Mussophie."
Yu Ling has a good impression of Panda people and is polite.
"I want to tell you, I'm sorry you came a little late, and the fleet of Eternal Kingdom took away a large amount of cargo. You may be disappointed, so it's better to be mentally prepared." Mussophie held his hands leisurely.
Two gun-carried guards followed him.
"It's okay, we can pay the deposit first and book the goods."
"I will arrange for the manager to talk to you about business exchanges, and now I will take you to see Lord Evelyn."
A dragon car parked at the intersection.
For these fleets from the Central Continent, Evelyn naturally wanted to show her strength level.
Luo Wei mocked her mother for being a poor mind.
"What do you know! The poorer and behind, the more you have to hold on to the scene, otherwise why would others look down on you?" Evelyn said with confidence.
Chapter completed!
