Chapter 951 Robbery

Monitoring my whereabouts is secondary. After all, my time in Tevram is very limited, and the means are very diverse. Teleporting back to this mansion is just one of many options.

Their main purpose is to seduce me and make me fall into the land of tenderness.

This point is obvious. When have you ever seen a mansion with servants composed of beautiful women from top to bottom?

Although Gavin saw through the little thoughts of the Cesk merchants, he did not dismiss these maids, because occasionally coming here to relax and experience the luxurious life of the noble master with clothes and food provided, is also a good life experience.

And this place also has its own uses-meeting guests from Tevram, especially those Cesk merchants, I don’t need to notify them at all. As long as I come, they will get the news soon.

"I want to meet with the Lord of Parado and discuss something." Gavin said to the beautiful housekeeper as he walked out.

"I will notify the Lord of Parado right away." The housekeeper Alaniya replied respectfully.

Compared with other maids, this housekeeper is absolutely genuine.

Not only is she smart and capable, but she is also well-informed about all the situations in Tevram City and is an important link with the locals.

"Master, you are back." When Gavin brought Duis out of the teleportation house, the maids had already rushed over after hearing the news, and saluted one after another, trying to show their best side.

Although they were wearing maid clothes, they were all tailor-made. Whether it was the tailoring skills or the materials, they were all top-notch, showing their feminine beauty completely.

Duis had never thought that maid clothes could be made so beautiful.

But he was watching the nose with his eyes and the heart with his nose, and he didn't dare to look at the beautiful scenery along the way.

This is obviously the private residence and private collection of Commander Gavin, which is not something he can play with.

At the same time, his mind was active. Does Commander Gavin have a special hobby in this regard?

Should he also prepare such a private residence for him in Usmer City?

"Prepare tea." Gavin ordered.

This is another main reason why he likes this mansion.

There are two maids here who are from Xianglong, one is proficient in cooking and the other is proficient in tea art.

Although there are still some differences between the food of Xianglong Dynasty and that of the flower-growing family, it is more suitable for Gavin's appetite than that of Furen.

These are sent by the Cesk merchants after seeing Gavin gather a large number of Xianglong people.

The price of this special maid from Xianglong is quite amazing, and the sum of two is the sum of other maids.

"What kind of tea does the master want to drink this time?" The tea art maid named Su Su, no matter her personality or name, exudes the soft and sticky flavor of Jiangnan, and speaks in a soft voice.

"Cloud and mist, last time you were in a hurry, you only had time to taste three of the seven layers of cloud and mist you mentioned." Gavin still remembers the cloud and mist tea.

Tea art is also called tea art in Xianglong Dynasty.

Since anyone who can be named Dao must be extraordinary.

Because those immortal cultivators call their own cultivation path seeking Dao or cultivating Dao.

In the Xianglong Dynasty, there is not only ordinary tea for ordinary people, but also immortal tea for those who practice immortality.

In Faerun, you can't even think about getting immortal tea, and Yunwu Tea is known as the ordinary tea closest to immortal tea.

Gavin can only take a peek at the unique professional style of the Xianglong Dynasty.

"Yunwu Mountain is located in the sky sea of ​​the Xianglong Dynasty. It is shrouded in clouds and fog all year round. There are unique beautiful scenery of seven peaks and seven fogs. It is the hereditary territory of the Qi family. Ordinary people have no chance to go there.

Yunwu Tea is taken from the tender tea near the fog line of Yunwu Mountain. It is made by seven fryings and seven dryings, so it is given seven flavors. The first one is the bitterness of life. Master, please taste it."

Su Su introduced the origin of Yunwu Tea to Gavin in a soft voice while brewing tea smoothly.

The last time she brewed Yunwu Tea, Gavin was entertaining guests. She just brewed tea silently beside him and did not explain the origin of Yunwu Tea.

Gavin picked up the exquisite teacup and observed it carefully. In contrast to the snow-white porcelain, the tea color seemed a little darker, and the unique fragrance of tea came to his face. He took a sip, and an unspeakable bitterness spread in his mouth. After entering his throat, there was a slight sweetness.

After savoring it for a few seconds, Gavin sincerely praised: "The tea is good, the name is better, life is indeed bitter, but it contains a bit of sweetness."

Su Su's movements paused involuntarily, and a trace of surprise flashed in her bright eyes. She praised sincerely: "The master is a person who really understands tea. I have never seen anyone who is not a Xianglong person who can taste the true meaning of the first level of Yunwu Tea.

They like to add sugar or honey. That kind of tea loses its own artistic conception and is biased from the beginning. It is even more impossible to taste the six levels behind."

When saying this, Su Su's eyes turned to Duis involuntarily. He had already drunk the mask of pain, but because of Gavin's face, he could only swallow this bitter water into his stomach.

In this case, he couldn't taste the sweetness of tea at all.

"Haha... That's normal. Tea is a matter of personal preference. Even among Xianglong people, not everyone likes tea. After all, life is bitter enough. Why make things difficult for yourself? When you can add sugar, add some sugar. Give some sugar to Lord Duis." Gavin is not the kind of person who likes to force his personal preferences and habits on others.

Especially this kind of thing that is inherently sentimental is even more difficult for people to empathize with.

"Okay." Su Su followed suit and began to treat them differently while making the second cup of tea for the two of them.

"Give me a cup with sugar." The upstart Lord Parado walked in quickly before the second cup of tea was brewed. There were faint beads of sweat on his forehead, which showed how serious he was. urgent.

Lord Parado didn't care about the seven-level artistic conception of Yunwu Tea. He picked up the tea bowl and wanted to drink it in one gulp, but he was so burned that he grinned.

He laughed at himself and said, "Bring me a glass of water. This elegant thing from the Far East is not something ordinary people can play with. It seems that giving Su Su to the General is the right choice."

After finishing his glass of cold buffalo, Lord Parado couldn't help but complain: "General, you are really busy with military affairs. I have been looking for you for several days, but I still can't contact you."

"I have neglected this point. I will leave a contact person here in the future. If you have any questions, you can leave a message here and I will handle it as appropriate." Gavin pointed to the Shadow Messenger.

These Sesk merchants are not yet qualified to establish spiritual connections with them.

Larrel's spiritual connection is certainly convenient, but it cannot be like a mobile phone address book, which can be added to hundreds or thousands.

It is restricted by professional level, and each hit die adds one psychic connection quota.

Once a connection is made, it cannot be easily deleted.

After all, unilaterally canceling spiritual contact is a very offending thing.

Therefore, when establishing contact, you must treat it with caution.

And this ability has its flaws.

You can only communicate on the same plane. Cross-dimensional communication is the same as cross-border communication. There is no signal and there is no way to communicate.

Although the Ghost Messenger cannot cross planes (except for the shadow plane and the shadow demiplane), it is in transit mode and can store a large amount of information and notify Gavin as soon as possible when he returns.

He can prioritize response and processing according to the severity and urgency.

"This is the best." Parado didn't care about the method used to contact Gavin. The key was to be able to contact Gavin.

The importance of the opponent did not decrease because the defensive battle of Tefram City ended, but increased.

Even the commander-in-chief of the Faerun coalition, King Asan, was attracted by the few secret weapons in his hands, let alone these businessmen.

"Do you need me to introduce each other to you?" Gavin asked.

"No need." Parado said with a smile, "Although we, Teflam and Usmail, do not belong to the same country, they are brother cities. We have intersections in many businesses. We have known each other for many years. Congratulations to Du The Lord of Yis City finally got what he wanted."

"This is Commander Togavin's blessing." Duis smiled.

The interactions in Parado's words are not all benign, but more of malicious suppression.

Both have excellent ports, but their development is very different.

In addition to the Golden Road, Teflam City spared no effort to suppress it, which played an important role.

And the Sword Thorn Brotherhood has never been able to seize the dominance of Uxmail City for so many years. They are also working secretly.

Duis naturally hated the Cesc Merchant Alliance headed by Parado.

"Now that you know each other, it's easy to handle." Gavin said straight to the point, not caring about their past turmoil, "I came back this time to discuss the joint development of the two cities."

"I would like to hear the details." Parado sat upright, his fat face becoming serious.

Because the rise and fall of Tefram City depended entirely on the other party's thoughts.

They, the Sesk merchants, realized this after the other party showed their incredible ability to pave the way.

Many people have visited Jugu in person. The new Jugu Business Road is countless times easier to navigate than the Golden Road.

If the other party intends to let Jugu Business Road replace the Golden Road.

Even if Teflam City would not be completely defeated, it would still cause a large number of business opportunities to flow out. At least its reputation as the only outlet for Far Eastern trade would be in jeopardy.

Gavin took the third cup of Yunwu Tea and took a sip. At this time, most of the bitterness had faded away, leaving only the aroma of tea in his mouth. This is the sweetness of life.

After whetting his appetite, Gavin slowly said: "I believe that after this Tukan invasion, you should have felt the terror of the human sea tactic.

The reason why Cesk has no power to fight back is because the population is too sparse, and the strength of the country is not as large as the number of other people's troops. How can we fight this battle? "

Parado said with deep conviction: "That is indeed the case, if it were not for the superb commanding skills of the commander and the timely support of the Faerun coalition led by King Asan.

Teflam City might not even be able to withstand a charge from the other side.

In the past, we focused entirely on the development of commerce and neglected the prosperity of the kingdom itself.

After the war is over, we will definitely not make the same mistake again, and we will work hard to encourage those civilians to have more children and make full use of the entire Sesk Plain. "

This large-scale invasion by the Tukan people taught many people a good lesson and made them realize the importance of population.

If the population is large enough, even the superior gods will be shaken and afraid.

“That’s only the depth on land, but also the depth at sea?

In comparison, the latter is more important!

After this war, the Tukan people will not be able to breathe for at least ten years, and it will be difficult for them to organize another war of this scale.

But the pirates on the Falling Star Sea took the opportunity to make a fortune from the war, and their power expanded again. I believe that it won't be long before they become rampant again. "

Gavin will study the development of the Kingdom of Sesk with the merchants of Sesk, but not now.

Because it's a bit too early to tell.

Although the Tukan people are a turtle in a urn, this turtle is very big and can bite people. There is also the variable outside of the Ser Kingdom, so this war is still going to be fought.

No one knows how the Kingdom of Sesk, which is the main battlefield, will be destroyed.

Post-war reconstruction work will have to wait until after the war.

"Pirates have indeed been a serious concern for us all along, and they are also the biggest bottleneck restricting our further development."

Parado asked tentatively, "What do you mean, Commander, for our two cities to form a military alliance to jointly fight against the pirates in the Falling Star Sea?"

"Yes, but what you said is not complete." Gavin stopped being pretentious and directly laid out his plan, "I want you to go one step further and form a strategic alliance. Start directly from the industrial layout, and each will take what he has. Long-term, win-win cooperation.”

"This...general, can you tell me in more detail?"

Not only was Parado confused, but Duis was also confused.

Aren't they here to hire shipbuilders? How did it become an alliance to discuss the two cities?

Duis wisely did not interrupt, because he had already had a deep understanding of the young commander's abilities. His powerful abilities caused many of their affairs to be on the same level.

The other party's seemingly irrelevant measures actually solve the problem fundamentally.

I'm afraid it will be the same this time.

Gavin did not directly answer Parado's question, but instead asked: "What do you think are the advantages of your city? If you are allowed to develop? What do you use as your pillar industry?"

Parado replied without thinking: "Tefram naturally wants to continue to consolidate its business position, especially the Far East trade relying on the Golden Road, which is a top priority.

From now on, I must trouble the General to sort out and renovate the Golden Road system. "

At the end of the sentence, there was a flattering flavor that could not be concealed in his words.

Although Gavin previously used the paving technique to renovate the golden road when he led the chariot army to compete with the Tukan army for speed.

But only half of it was repaired, which was enough for the chariot corps to pass through.

In order to hinder the advancement of the Tukan people, explosive traps were placed on it, which had long been destroyed.

When the Tukan people retreated from Tefram, they destroyed the road twice in order to hinder the progress of the Faerun coalition.

The current road to gold is miserable.

Gavin's kobold road-building crew stood still unless King Asan gave the order.

His intention was obvious. He didn't want to build roads for free for the Sesk Kingdom like he did with the Giant Valley Trade Road.

If you want him to build roads in the Kingdom of Sesk, you must spend real money.

Gavin did not comment on Parado's answer, but turned to look at Duis and said, "Where is Uxmail City?"

At this moment, Duis finally understood Gavin’s good intentions and immediately revealed Gavin’s strategic plan for Uxmail City, “Our Uxmail City will have two pillar industries in the future.

The first is the export of bulk agricultural commodities.

The foundation of this one is based on the Lord Commander's plantation plan for the large estate in the Great Valley.

The other is to fully support and develop the shipbuilding industry.

The port quality of Usmail City is not inferior to that of Tefram, but it is deep into the Eastern Gulf and is not as convenient as Tefram in terms of geography.

But it has an advantage that Teflam does not have, and that is safety.

Not only the pirates from the Starfall Sea rarely invade there.

The violent storms of the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars rarely penetrate deep there.

Both of these points are extremely beneficial to the shipbuilding industry. "

Being able to stand out among many competitors and sit firmly in the position of Lord of Tefram City for many years, Parado is also very impressive, and he instantly understood Gavin's true intention of coming here this time.

The development plan of Uxmail City was definitely not formulated by Duis, but by the young man in front of him, who just said it through his mouth.

Is the shipbuilding industry something you want to develop?

It is necessary to have corresponding shipbuilding technology and enough skilled craftsmen.

Without the accumulation of more than ten years or even decades, it is difficult to see the results and catch up with modern technology.

The other party simply wanted to use the alliance of the two cities as an excuse to adjust the industrial layout and move all the shipbuilding industry in Teflam City to Usmail City.

But Parado didn't have the confidence to say no.

Because he dared to refuse to move to the shipbuilding industry, the other party dared to cut off Tefram's business roots.

Parado only felt that his eyes were fascinated. When he reached out and touched it, he realized that his forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat.

This was purely due to Gavin's grand strategic plan.

"I wonder what Lord Parador thinks of this?" Gavin would not let the other party off easily and began to put pressure on him. We are all smart people and there are some things that do not need to be said too explicitly.

Parado drank the fourth cup of tea he had just brewed in one gulp, without even noticing it was hot. He gasped and stared, "I can promote cooperation in the shipbuilding industry between the two cities and move the main body of shipbuilding to Uzbekistan." I’m going to Smel City, but I have a few conditions.”

Since there is no way to refuse, the only option is to maximize the benefits.

Gavan was somewhat surprised by the answer of Lord Parado, and asked curiously: "Don't you need to convene a merchant council and discuss it with other merchant lords?"

Although Parado is the lord of Tevram City, he alone has no say in most matters.

Especially for such a big thing as relocating the shipbuilding industry, it involves the interests of countless merchants. (End of this chapter)
