On an early winter morning, the imperial capital is rendered into a silver-white world.On the rubble of the walls and ridges, on the withered branches, the withered yellow grass blades were stained with a light layer of hoarfrost, and the Weiyang Lake in the distance was shrouded in a layer of mist, and the warm sunlight was still blocking the other side of the eastern mountain beam, and when the sun came out, these hoarfrost would quickly disappear.Arya got out of bed early, and she had a habit of taking cold showers in the early morning.She sat at the dressing table in her thick plush pajamas, and the maids stood beside her to take care of her hair and apply nail polish, and she made sure to make the most delicate makeup for herself before she went out again.She has recently begun to try some elf beauty and skin care methods, a crystal bottle on the dresser, not too big, almost in the palm of your hand, the bottle contains some translucent jelly-like ointment, it is said that this kind of anti-aging cream with a hint of herb essence, this anti-aging cream is very popular in the small circle of the upper class society in the imperial capital, as long as it is rumored that a certain businessman brought back this anti-aging cold cream from the elf world, those wealthy ladies, the widows of the nobles, and the nobles and celebrities will rush to buy it.I can feel that there is a trace of magic in this anti-aging cold cream, which is the life essence extracted between the plants and trees, this thing is very similar to the life essence dilution, I think I can discuss it with the World Tree in the future, and everyone will work together to open a workshop to produce this anti-aging cream in Xinliu Valley, which is actually quite good.Betty silently placed a stack of ironed clothes on the head of the bed, turned to help Arya put on a body-bound petticoat, Arya liked to wear the kind of low-cut dress that made her waist look slim, I knew that she would not be able to eat breakfast once she wore such a tunic dress, so I got up from the bed alone, quickly put on my shirt and magic robe, and slipped downstairs to the dining room for breakfast.Accompanied by Demi, Mrs.
Jenny bought two airship tickets to Sloitte yesterday and returned to the north overnight, she was worried that Ann would not be able to take care of herself, so she wanted to rush back to Elci before the Pranca River was closed, otherwise once the river was closed, the outside of the northern province would not be so safe.That's one of the reasons I was able to stay at Arya's estate.The magic caravan was waiting outside the house, and the coachman, dressed in a black coat, sat on the car and waited patiently, and when he saw Arya and I come out of the villa, he quickly jumped out of his seat and opened the door for us.The Imperial Capital Infrastructure Construction Administration is located in the sixth district, the magic caravan drove from the third block in the north of the imperial capital along Yulin Street all the way to Weiyang Lake, turned to the lakeside avenue and drove for a full hour before arriving at the gate of the Construction Administration in the south of the city.The whole building is made of huge square granite, the main building is divided into four floors, there are no ornate reliefs on the walls of the building, but the shape of the round arched windows and the broken bridge terrace is still refreshing, there are two knights with spears standing at the gate, some magic caravans have stopped at the entrance of the Construction Administration, some nobles have stepped off the carriages, and some people have sent morning greetings to each other, and then walked into the building in front of them together.This is where the Earl of Orensteinbeck asked us to meet, and seeing that the knight standing at the door did not seem to come forward to ask or stop us, so I walked into the gate of the Building Administration with Arya, who held my arm with one hand and tugged at the wide skirt with the other, like a blooming rose in the crowd, and many white-collar workers of the civilian class did not even dare to look directly at her delicate beautiful face.Walking into the hall on the first floor of the Construction Administration, the model of the entire imperial capital is placed in the center of the hall like a sand table, and there are various large manors around the clear Weiyang Lake.On this sand table, I also saw a very novel facility, in the streets of the entire imperial capital city and parallel three circular ground light rail, the innermost light rail is designed around Weiyang Lake, this light rail will be 360 degrees in the future to appreciate the surrounding scenery of Weiyang Lake, the outermost light rail is the entire imperial capital city is encompassing it, but in fact, only the middle of the light rail that runs through the seven main streets of the imperial capital can be regarded as the main transportation line, the original laying of light rail in the imperial capital city has been done, It's just that I don't know how far the progress has been, but it's currently in the discussion stage, and in short, the magic newspaper hasn't revealed any relevant news, and even the initial infrastructure plan hasn't been mentioned.Arya and I stopped in front of the sand table for a while, and a noble man in a tuxedo came up to the front and asked with a smile if we needed any help, and I explained to him that Count Orenstein Beck had asked us to come over to talk about something, and he waved to the lady at the front desk of the hall, and immediately a young woman came running up, and he asked the lady to take us to Count Orensteinbeck's office on the third floor.When the Earl of Orenstein Beck heard that I was coming, he hurriedly came out of the office, and saw me and Arya standing side by side, and hurriedly greeted me and Arya, he did not hide that he knew Arya about it, and when he saw Arya, his expression was very natural and said to her: "Arya, I heard that you have opened a textile workshop in the imperial capital, and you have made the cloth business to the elven world, which is really amazing." ”Arya asked in surprise, "Count Oren, it turns out that you are in charge of the expansion of the airport town. ”Earl Orensteinbeck invited me to sit down with Alia, and a female assistant brought us two cups of black tea, and on the wall opposite us hung a map of the airport town, which was very exquisitely made, the old town was circled with red outlines, the new areas were marked with green lines, and each street had clear notes, and I found that the new airport town was nearly twice as large as the old town in terms of construction scale, almost surrounding the airport in the center, and the whole town was surrounded by a spider web-like transportation network."
I'm only in charge of the greening, cleaning, and lighting works in the later stage, and even the decision on these matters needs to be applied to the above," Count Orensteinbeck sighed softly, his expression a little embarrassed.I remember that Arya had suggested that I buy some land in the airport town, preferably to build a material turnover warehouse, after all, we have to purchase a lot of materials every month, just to lease the warehouse we need to come up with a large amount of gold coins every month, I heard the Earl of Orenstein Beck say that the airport town is being expanded, I think now is the best time.Count Orensteinbeck stroked his thinning hair with his hand, showed a wry smile, and said to Arya and me: "You also know that now the subordinate planes of the empire are at war everywhere, and the plane war has made the empire's tax and financial allocation less and less year by year, and many projects on the side of the Construction Administration have been shelved for several years.
Just the main road project in the area around the airport town has consumed all the project funds, and the additional project funds have not been approved for a long time, so the funds are currently a little tight. ”I thought to myself: it's better if you can't get the money, and it's not impossible if you exchange the land with me.Before I could organize the language, I heard Count Orensteinbeck say again: "But don't worry, please come here to talk about the transaction of the Shimmer Illumination Magic Talisman Plate, we have prepared a special fund, and the investors are the noble merchants in the airport town. ”I guess this Earl of Orensteinbeck is also a noble merchant in the airport town, and maybe even one of the main patrons.He then said to me: "The merchants who are in the warehouse rental business in the airport town have privately raised a sum of money, and they hope to follow the current trend of the imperial capital and install a batch of new magic street lamps around the airport town.However, according to my previous cost-effectiveness, the budget is still a little overrun, and some of the merchants in the airport town have a blacksmith workshop in their homes, and the problem of the lamp pole has been solved, and there is a nobleman who opened a glass workshop to participate in the plane war some time ago and lost one after another, and has declared bankruptcy, and the business on the imperial capital has been redeemed across the board, and I bought a batch of cheap lampshades from the hands of the nobleman, and only the last thing left is the purchase of the shimmer illumination magic rune board. ”It looks like he's put a lot of effort into it."
This time the preparation of the project money is not sufficient, please be sure to give us the best price."
He said this with a look of earnestness."
To be honest, we also learned about the market price of the Shimmer Illumination Talisman in the Imperial Capital Magic Market before, and to be honest, the current market price is still far from the price we expected, so we have the cheekiness to find you."
Arya squinted her eyes, looking like a cunning fox, and she blushed lightly.
Lips asked, "I wonder how many Shimmer Illumination Spell Talismans you want to buy?"
Earl Orensteinbeck, the quantity purchased often affected the price of the rune plates. ”Count Orensteinbeck looked at Arya with some seriousness and said, "Really?
This purchase is actually quite large, so can you take out 5,000 Shimmer Illumination Talisman Plates at once?
”"Is that all there is to it?"
Arya asked rhetorically without blinking her eyes."
We probably only have enough money to buy this much!"
Count Orensteinbeck said with some embarrassment.Arya turned to look at me, and I coughed softly, pausing slightly, to show that the price I had given had been carefully considered.I said to Count Orensteinbeck, "If I were to make a simplified version of the Bronze Magic Pattern Shimmer Illumination Talisman Plate, I would be able to make thirty silver coins each, and five thousand Magic Rune Plates would require three hundred Magic Crystals. ”"A simplified version of the Bronze Demonic Talisman Plate only costs thirty silver coins?"
The Earl of Orensteinbeck, though he thought it was a little incredulous, asked me with a shocked expression."
That's right!"
I say.He quickly stood up, walked up to me, grabbed my hand, and said, "You have really helped me a lot, can I add some copper rune plates this time?"
”"Of course, as you wish."
I replied with a smile.The Count of Orensteinbeck looked particularly happy, and said to me: "Then I will buy eight thousand, no!
10,000 Shimmer Illumination Spell Plates, of course I don't expect them to be delivered to me at once, you can pay me in batches!
”I asked him a little surprised, "Do you want to replace all the street lights in the airport town with magic street lights?"
”Count Orensteinbeck said frankly: "Hehe, in fact, I have a little selfishness in it, and I am going to come up with a sum of money myself, and take this opportunity to renovate the lighting facilities in the small town of Belavo near my castle, which is always too dark in winter, so the street lamps are indispensable." ”After speaking, he instructed the assistant standing aside to draw up a contract, we all signed this magic contract, Count Orensteinbeck was in a good mood, and he bluntly said to me If the shimmer lighting spell board can keep this price, it will not be long before it will completely monopolize the lighting rune plate market in the entire imperial capital magic market, and now the magic crystal fragments have depreciated significantly, and many lords hope that their territory can have more magical public facilities to improve the style of their territory.The Earl of Orensteinbeck also wanted me to have lunch with Arya, but I politely declined.Arya can't eat anything at all dressed like this, she probably just needs to drink some honey water to keep her energy up, and we want to go to the Qige Trading House next, and the sixth and seventh blocks are not too far apart.Leaving the Construction Administration, the magic caravan carried us all the way to the door of the Qige Trading Company, but I didn't expect that it was still a busy and lively scene, Si Pei and Kong Zhen with a dozen secretaries, standing at the gate of the trading house to check the materials that were moved out of the warehouse one by one, I didn't expect that the canned luncheon meat and meat floss bricks imported from the orc tribe, magic parchment paper and other materials actually sold well to the point of queuing to buy.At this time, several large magic caravans drove directly into the compound of the trading house, and the merchants who were standing in the street outside and were struggling to queue up one after another protested to Si Pei, demanding that the large magic caravans also line up according to the purchase order, and merchants kept coming down from the magic caravans and crowded at the gate of the trading house.Spee and Kongzhen couldn't control the chaos, and Betty wanted to get out of the car to help, but was stopped by Alya."
Let them learn to deal with these things on their own, and they can solve them," Alia said. ”
