Chapter 318: Ego Dragon Clan
More than a hundred years ago, the conqueror and the first king of Iceland held a double-king meeting.
It coincides with the turmoil in Yigo.
So, the two kings joined forces to defeat Yi Ge.
Everywhere he went, he surrendered.
The conqueror placed in his treasury all the curiosities which he obtained.
Most believe that the Conqueror's treasure trove is in Black Keep (the Dark Iron capital).
But there is also a small group of people who believe that the conquerors built the treasure house elsewhere, and people call them "treasure hunters" and "treasure hunters."
This group has never disappeared, and people continue to hear those legends and embark on a journey to find the treasure.
Those people believed that the treasure house was not in Black Castle, but in Cang Yue, Yi Ge, or the more distant Desert Royal Court.
There is no way to search unless you have a map.
After the conquerors left, the court witches were expelled and had to form the Witchwood in secret.
In the past, various forces secretly assisted Witch Lin, and the Perea business family was one of them.
But after the incident was revealed, Perea was pushed out and became a scapegoat.
But the head of the family, Selin, is missing, and the eldest daughter Cassandra also disappears.
Hoth bribed a servant of Selin in advance and learned that his father and sister had found the Conqueror's treasure map. They deciphered its key information and went to Yigo. Its meaning is self-evident.
"Your Highness, mastering the Conqueror's Treasure House is equivalent to mastering this land, but only a true king can get it. I think it belongs to you..." Hoss said.
The treasure house is not something he can covet, but since he can't get it, Selin and Kassandra must not get it either.
The old man is too cruel!
All their brothers and sisters were killed in the liquidation of the Holy See, and only he and Morey were lucky enough to survive.
As long as the King of the River Valley sends troops on an expedition, the father and daughter will not be able to get any treasures from the treasure house!
However, Hoss was disappointed. The young king he was watching eagerly just nodded lightly.
"I know," he said.
"But..." He wanted to stretch out his hand to hold back the figure, but Morey punched him, "Stop showing off your cleverness. Do you understand that going too far is still not enough?"
Hoss stared at Morey in pain, but he had to lower his head under the eaves.
hateful! In the future, he will actually have to rely on Morey, whom he has always looked down on in the past.
He lowered his head in shame and said, "I know, brother."
Morey nodded with satisfaction, but in his opinion, this unsatisfactory younger brother still needs to be trained and trained.
Roman ignored the brothers' dispute behind his back.
He gestured to Seth and said: "Send the wool to the textile mill as soon as possible so that the weavers can weave it into cloth quickly."
Where do these hundreds of thousands of pounds of wool go?
The caravan can make another trip and bring more wool.
Even though Iceland is an island, it is quite large.
There are millions of people in Iceland, and they export nearly 20,000 bags of wool every year. Each bag weighs about 300 kilograms, which is about more than 5 million kilograms of wool.
A bag of wool is worth one gold coin, and three pounds of wool can be exchanged for one copper coin. (export price)
After deducting commercial taxes and transportation, two kilograms of wool cost one copper coin. (A bag of wool costs about 1.5 silver coins in tax)
After processing, a pound of wool is worth as much as one copper coin. (After a pound of wool is processed, there are only seven taels left.)
In other words, a female textile worker in Roman can only buy two kilograms of processed wool after working for a month.
But the salary is high enough.
I get two kilograms of wool every month, and the textile factory also provides food. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
If Roman has enough wool, he can even give it out as salary.
This is hard currency!
Just like food, cloth is harder than metal currency.
The wool production in the meadow pasture is very small, and Roman relies heavily on imports. This year, he will first collect a million kilograms of wool from Iceland.
He had a huge appetite, so he bought 100,000 kilograms of steel farming tools on the caravan ship, and stuffed 500,000 kilograms of salt on other ships - these were materials exchanged for wool.
The raw materials are not expensive, but the processing is difficult.
According to common sense, it would take at least 10,000 women two months to process this million pounds of wool.
Let's not talk about how to manage such a large place. You can't make much money just from hiring fees and food expenses.
And the two months were also torture.
Therefore, the progress of civilization is the progress of technology.
There is a textile factory in Luoman, and at most a few hundred new people will be assigned. The new people will work with the old people, and they will become old people in half a year.
It takes a thousand weavers a month to weave it into cloth.
What's this?
This is productivity!
Roman arranged the corresponding matters.
The fleet in Origin City must have a hundred veterans accompanying it as guards at any time. The soldiers can be replaced in turn, but there must be enough defense force to avoid accidents when going out.
He left the City of Origin by boat and wanted to return to the City of Fengfen.
On the way, Shasta whispered: "Your Highness, I know Kassara."
The eldest daughter of Selin, the sister of Morey and Hoss, and the witch of Witchwood.
"She is a student of the prophet and the only witch who has learned the magic of the prophet. She is younger, more ambitious, and more dangerous than the prophet. Kassandra once took a dozen sisters to the northern land to look for opportunities. But she was the only one who came back alive, covered in blood. My teacher accused her of murdering her sisters and wanted to put her to death, but the prophet saved her, and from then on Cassandra no longer had a place in the Witch Grove..." Shasta spoke eloquently.
These words are somewhat different from what Hoss said - it's normal, the witch is more familiar with her.
Roman felt that the eldest daughter of Selin was very good at disguising herself. Cassandra was the eldest daughter of Selin and often showed up, but her identity as a witch had never been discovered, otherwise the Church would have come to her long ago.
"Do you care about her?" Roman asked.
Shasta rarely asked about irrelevant things. She said, "I don't care about her, I care about the treasure house!"
"Are you saying that Ego's treasure house is real?"
"Cassandra is never blind." Shasta said, "You are the son of the Split Armor, the Lord of Black Iron, and the most qualified person to inherit the treasure house!"
She stared at Roman, and the meaning was self-evident.
If he inherited the Conqueror's Treasure House, it would be a huge improvement for Roman's career.
"But Ego is too far away, it is much farther than Iceland. I heard that if you ride the wind and waves, you can see that continent floating alone on the Arctic Ocean. It is not on the Black Iron Land," Roman said.
He never pinned his hopes on sudden wealth. Fantasy is just fantasy before it happens. It is better to be down-to-earth.
"Shasta, I know you have good intentions, but I will not go to great lengths to do something without knowing the specific benefits."
"The prophet said that the land of Ego is an ancient, barbaric, and primitive land, where some legendary races are hidden. Although the conqueror conquered the Ego people, he never conquered that land," Shasta showed a little disappointment, "the magic power there is very prosperous, the power of the church has never been involved, the pirates never believe in the gods, the legend of the North Ice originated from Ego, and the legend of Ego originated from the dragon clan... Your Highness, I mean that there are dragons in the land of Ego."
