The Dictatorial Lords

A few days later, Willis returned with the caravan. This was the third time they had gone out for business. Even though there was a large market in Oroz now, Willis was still used to going out like this. After helping Hal with those things last time, he went out with the caravan. Came back after a month and a half.

This time, Willis brought back something that Locke was interested in. When Locke saw these things, he couldn't help but have the urge to laugh up to the sky.

Looking at this black and oily stone, and smelling this ugly-looking stone, he asked unconsciously, "Willis, how did you find these things."

Looking at Locke's overjoyed expression when he saw these things, Willis knew that this thing must have something that Locke valued, and immediately said: "Sir City Lord, this is the way we went to the Tauren tribe. We met a tribe of rat people. They Digging an underground cave there, this thing suddenly appeared. At that time, the smell of these stones was too bad, and the cave of the rat people was scrapped. It burned. I just saw that this thing was a bit magical, so I brought a little bit back to see it. Lord City Lord, do you know what this is?"

There was an impulse in Locke's heart, that is, to quickly send someone to control the place. Definitely can't let other people occupy it. On second thought, Willis didn't even know what it was. When the Rat Man tribe encounters these things, they can only migrate the tribe. That means that no one knows what this is, so don't worry. Hearing Willis ask, he didn't say anything, just gave Willis a look. Williston knew what Locke meant. This thing can't be said outside, it must be a precious thing.

Bringing the oil, Locke walked in front, Willis followed behind, and ordered the good caravan to enter Oroz to rest.

As he walked, he instructed the guards on the side: "You go and gather the stewards of various departments in Oroz City. I want them all to come to the conference room within half an hour for a meeting."

"Yes, my lord." The guard heard Locke say this. He answered quickly, turned around and left.

Willis still followed Locke. Looking at Locke's appearance like an enemy, I became more and more curious about what these things were, and it was worth Locke's eagerness.

After waiting for a while, the management personnel finally arrived. Looking at Locke, I don't understand what's worth calling them all together now, and can't say it at the meeting tomorrow morning.

Locke saw that they were all here. He said to the people below: "I believe you are thinking, why am I calling you to a meeting now. There is indeed an urgent matter. Willis led the caravan back just now, and brought back one thing, it is this kind of thing worthwhile. ."

"Sir, what is it? Is it something that can be valued by adults?" the person below asked.

I saw Locke taking out the box beside him. There was a stone with an unpleasant smell inside. Everyone didn't understand what it was. They all looked at Locke, hoping for an explanation.

"Haha, I knew you didn't know, otherwise, I would have called someone to control the place. This thing is a big thing. After refining, we can use it to replace wood, and it can be used for heating. , the yield can be much higher than the value of wood."

No wonder they don't know these things. It is now in the middle world, which is a lot behind Blue Star's middle world.

At Blue Star, coal mines were discovered in ancient Roman times. Ancient Rome began heating with coal about 2000 years ago.

Coal is a mineral that can be used as fuel or as an industrial raw material. It is a black solid mineral composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and other elements whose physical and chemical properties have been changed by ancient plants through biochemical and geological effects.

Coal as a fuel began as early as 800 years ago. Coal was widely used as a fuel for industrial production, starting with the Industrial Revolution at the end of the 18th century. With the invention and use of the steam engine, coal was widely used as a fuel for industrial production, bringing unprecedented productivity to the society and promoting the development of the industry, followed by the development of coal, steel, chemical, mining, metallurgy and other industries. Coal has a high calorific value, and the calorific value of standard coal is 7000 kcal/kg. Moreover, coal has abundant reserves on Bluestar, is widely distributed, and is generally relatively easy to mine, so it is widely used as a fuel in various industrial production.

But in this world, wood is still used for heating, and a lot of wood is consumed every year, which is a huge expense. A great deal of wood is used every night in the Wiglott Wilderness. That's why the lumber merchants like to come to the Wilderness of Wiglott.

Now Locke has discovered these coal mines, but has mastered a huge sum of money. Even the Wiglott Wilderness can make a lot of money. If only those powerful countries knew about these things. It could be a war.

Locke explained to the following people what coal mines are and how to use them. After speaking, all the management members became excited. If this is really what the Lord of the City said, wouldn't Orz be rich in the future?

Just when everyone was excited, Zhang Zhao said: "Sir, it's better not to let outsiders know about this coal mine. Think about it, if those countries knew about the role of coal mines, would it be Oroz's resistance now? That's right. Even if Oraoz is not afraid of those people now, after all, there are so many countries, we Oraoz can't be enemies with nobles all over the world."

After hearing Zhang Zhao's words, everyone calmed down.

Locke said: "This is the purpose of calling you here this time. How do we develop these things so that we can make them look like in Orz and appear outside. Let Orz earn a lot of gold coins. At the same time alleviate the situation that we in Oroz will need a lot of wood sooner or later."

Everyone had no choice. They lowered their heads and thought. After a few minutes, Lawrence suddenly asked, "Miss Willis, where did you find this kind of thing?"

When everyone saw Lawrence speak, they didn't know what he was thinking.

Willis didn't think much and said, "On the way back from the caravan, about 20 kilometers away from Oroz."

Lawrence's eyes flashed after hearing this. Di Yoo's eyes showed a shrewd look.

When everyone saw Lawrence's expression, they knew that he might have something to do. Locke asked: "Lawrence, if you have any way to say it, let me tell you, this matter will play a very important role in the future development of our Oroz, if your suggestion this time is taken by us. I will make the decision. , the right to live in the dungeon will add 50 people to your rat race."

Everyone was shocked when they heard it. You must know that the last time Lawrence and the others helped the city lord to build the entire city of Oroz, they only got 50 shares.

Lawrence heard this. He said excitedly: "Sir. It's easy to hide those things from people outside. First of all, we Oroz can build a military camp there first. It will serve as our training ground. Of course, this is only superficial. It is impossible to mine in large quantities in the barracks. However, have you forgotten the talents of our rat people? Haha. We can open a passage to the warehouse in the warehouse of Oroz dungeon. This will be done. Unknowingly, they secretly evacuated that kind of thing. Then store it in our warehouse, and use it when I want in the future."

When Locke heard what Lawrence said, he immediately reacted. That's right~www.readwn.com~ The ground can't be mined on a large scale, so can't it be underground? There are also military camps on the ground as cover.

Locke thought of this. Immediately made a decision: "Ellie. Inform the Knights Company to set off now, let Willis take you to that place, and let me occupy that place, and tomorrow let your deputy lead the infantry corps to transport the materials for the construction of the barracks as quickly as possible. I built a barracks."

When I heard that Locke was going to use the Corps to build the barracks, it was conceivable that Locke was anxious about this matter.

Turning his head and instructing Lawrence: "Lawrence, you lead your rat people to put other things down first. Starting tomorrow, do your best to dig a hole for me, from the dungeon all the way to the place that Willis said, and. Put you all together. The rat people's mouths are tight for me, if I can hear the rat people talking about this matter outside. Hmph."

Lawrenceton felt a little cold. He knew that some rat people in the clan couldn't control their mouths. If it's normal. Now the Lord of the City has issued a gag order, if you can no longer control your mouth. The consequences can be imagined.

Locke turned to look at the management seated below and said, "And you guys, if you let me know who can't keep their mouths shut. I don't mind letting Avery have a good chat with him about life."

Everyone was a little stunned, and they came back to their senses and hurriedly promised that they would never say anything. If you really let Avery come to chat with them. This is not a good thing. Just chat as usual. If it is the kind of chat that the Lord of the City said. They'd rather go out and fight a tribe.

Avery immediately assured: "Sir, if anyone can't keep his mouth shut, I'd be happy to come and talk to them about life in person." He looked at everyone with his murderous aura.

Everyone immediately shook their heads, making sure they didn't think they would say it.
