"The previous orcs were all saved, after all, the orc empire did not have a high demand for furs, and in the end, they only had to wait for someone to come to buy them one day, so the loss of furs was very strict, which also caused huge profits for human smuggling merchants. Connie replied.

"This land area is large, and it is also a trouble!" Cook sighed, because the Mekay Empire is nearly 20,000 kilometers wide from north to south, and nearly 100,000 kilometers from east to west.

Cook looked at the map of the Orc Empire again, and then compared it, the ideal is rail transportation, but it is too troublesome, and the cost is too high, and finally Cook considers water transportation.

The construction of water conservancy also has great advantages, one is to increase the infrastructure to allow money to circulate, the other is to control floods in the rainy season, and the third is to make transportation smooth.

Cook had a draft in his mind and said, " There is only one way, increase transportation, but it is not easy for the Orc Empire to build roads, although there are ready-made, but if a cargo carriage wants to trade from the northernmost to the southernmost side, there will be a lot of materials consumed on this way, but now there is no way, only to form a large camel team, this empire has to come forward, after all, there are still robbers in the Orc Empire, but the final solution, I think is the waterway, the Orc Empire wants to develop, it has to build water, and the water transportation is extremely convenient. ”

Connie listened carefully to what Cook said, and looked at the waterway area that Cook had demarcated, Connie shook her head and said, "This investment is too big, and it can't be done in a day or two, at least in a few years or even ten years." ”

"Hehe, I didn't want to finish it all at once, anyway, let's take my time, but I haven't thought about this aspect completely, the camel team can be formed first. Cook thought of the ancient Silk Road, which was both a road to wealth and a road to death.

Connie pondered for a moment and said, "That's all there is to it." ”

Cook pointed out on the map, and then said: "The empire can set up large and small acquisition agencies to specialize in purchasing these things, don't underestimate these furs, the profits are very high, but as long as the furs of our Makai Empire are first-class to the human realm, the price is bound to fall, so we have to think about it first." ”

"Well, I'll consider this, but now that the bank has been established, few people believe it at all, after all, Huang Cancan's copper coin is taken in exchange for a voucher, and many orcs don't understand. Connie then moved on to the bank.

"This is easy to do, in the future, the empire's income and expenses will be passed through the bank once, and this also avoids some lang fees, just like the previous taxes need to be collected first, and then allocated by the empire according to the situation, once it comes back and forth, it will delay time, and it also consumes huge manpower and material resources, and the bank can also cooperate with the acquisition agency, and I also know that the orcs pay in kind a lot of times. Cook didn't even think about it.

"Alright then!" Connie heard Cook say this, and understood that only if the administration of the empire took such a method first, then it would be accepted by the people after a long time.

Then there are some inconsequential things, as for the cabinet affairs, it is up to Connie to worry about it, to be honest, Cook knows less than a hundred orcs, let alone form an organization to manage a huge empire, so all the heavy responsibilities are on Connie.

Of course, there are less than a hundred orcs that Cook knows, and he refers to soldiers, especially some knight captains, legion captains and the like, and even the Mekai Empire can't do without a lot of money in Cook's barony, not to mention anything else, as long as Cook cuts off the Golden Mountain Pass, the materials of the Mekai Empire will at least soar immediately.

This is not Cook doing this on purpose, but as a superior subconsciously, he will do so, of course, the rise of the Mackay Empire is also because of the proximity of Cook's barony to the Mackay Empire, otherwise this Mackay Empire replaced the Orc Empire, which would have been known to humans for a long time.

After Cook dealt with the matter, it was actually confirmed, and then he rushed to the magic city non-stop, and the orc hotel was basically completed after more than four months of construction.

And the decoration part has to wait for Cook to decide, Cook looked at a building in the shape of a wine barrel, the inside of the barrel is hollow, and the middle of the barrel is the conscious tree of life, of course, the conscious reaction is not very strong now, every time Cook arrives, he must first communicate with the tree of life, not to say anything, but to use his spiritual power to quietly feel the spiritual fluctuations emitted by the tree of life.

Affected by the Tree of Life, more than a hundred tall ancient trees on the periphery of the Orc Hotel have also become more lush, and the entire Orc Hotel is among the verdant trees, although the Magic City does not advocate planting too many trees, because that can breed thieves at this moment, and it is not much good for arson, but the Orc Hotel is well guarded, not to mention a dark elf who can communicate with the trees.

After Cook communicated with the Tree of Life, he began to check the Orc Hotel, the entire Orc Hotel was built by the dwarves, and the dwarves used countless stones to form a building with a height of more than ten floors, which is also very rare in the history of the dwarves, and it is this kind of circular building, but the dwarves and the dwarves work together to do it.

The dwarven building gives people a sense of simplicity and heaviness, and Cook took a look around and noticed: "The orc hotel, we all use the style of the orcs, decorate with a lot of luxurious furs, lay precious floors, all the tableware is made of silver, all the lighting is made of magic crystals, and different types of magic crystals are used to create different scenes." ”

"Your Excellency, isn't this too expensive to pay for now?" After hearing Cook's words, the dwarf grandmaster in charge of the construction calculated with the dwarf next to him, and then smacked his tongue and asked remindedly.

"It's not too expensive, we are the most exclusive hotel in the whole plane, I have decided, the supplies will be delivered later, all you have to do is design it in advance, then show it to me, and once I agree, start decorating it immediately. "Cook actually did this, but he also poured money from one hand to another, but this inverted link can benefit many orcs and lead the trend, which will be of great benefit to the fur trade of the Makay Empire in the future.

After Cook took care of the affairs of the Orc Hotel, he went to visit Mentor Leif again, and Tutor Leif still enjoyed doing research as always.

Then Cook arrived at the dock, and after more than four months of construction, the keel of the ship had been laid, even most of the husks had been basically taken care of, and the entire dock was encased by huge scaffolding, and countless flame giants were smelting the white iron castings with the flames of their hands.

Cook looked at them one by one, and the flame giants were welded better than welded, and the dockyard also built a house suitable for the flame giants to live in, with first-class waterproofing performance.

In four months, the planning part of the dock has been completed, and Cook has arranged the remaining cabins, watertight compartments and other things, of course, because of the huge storm in this sea, so Cook uses the kind of cargo hold similar to an oil tanker, not the kind of container, Cook wants to design a submarine, but that thing is too complicated.

In addition, the ship's power plant also needs to be further processed by Cook, after all, the steam engine is not something that ordinary people can make, and some key parts still need to be doped with some magic metals.

However, after having the treasure of the dragon wizard, Cook does not feel sorry for this money, of course, this matter needs to be handled by Cook himself, after all, this magic metal is extremely precious, and Cook is not at ease when he gives it to others.

As for the land of the Monto Empire that Gerry said, Cook has not yet had the energy to deal with it, and the more land he acquires now, the greater the income in the future, but Cook's matter in the dockyard soon became known to the big forces and joined the ranks of acquiring land.

This situation only lasted for half a month, and some people found out that something was wrong, although on the surface several major forces were still roaring, but secretly these big forces were actually absorbing the land, and almost overnight, the land of the Monto Empire became tense.

After this round of events, some small forces basically lost their participation in the trade of the Sea Clan, and were divided up by several major forces.

Cook uses a steam engine to propel a big ship, and there is no way to do it, although Cook does not lack magic crystals and magic cores in his hands, but these things are of high value, to push such a steel giant ship weighing thousands of tons, I am afraid that the profits from consuming trade are not enough for this magic core and magic crystal, and it takes time for the magic crystal to condense, and the magic core needs to hunt, which Cook can't afford at all, and steam power does not have this statement.

And Cook only knew the principle of the steam engine, so he also needed the assistance of the dwarfs in the construction process, and a large amount of wood was also transported, these woods are all ironwood, after all, ironwood is non-flammable, and the texture is hard, after all, if you have to go to sea, who knows what will happen.

Cook stayed in the dockyard for more than a month, and Cook finally dealt with it for more than a month, first of all, the steam engine that the dwarf participated in the design and construction has become a detailed drawing, and some non-critical parts are preparing to be forged, and the key parts need to be built by Cook alone.

However, before Cook could build it, he was urged to leave by two pieces of news, one was that Sia and Lina had collected enough magic materials for the psychotropic potion, and the other was the Hunters' Guild.

According to the news that Cook obtained, the Hunter Guild was on the verge of disbandment, so Cook rushed to the headquarters of the Magic City Hunter Guild, after all, if it collapsed, Cook didn't know if he would be hunted down by that legendary hunter.
