Purchasing Ziwu gold from Heishan New City still costs 3,000 silver coins per pound. Wouldn't it be cheaper to go directly to the City of Death to buy the goods?

The 800-kilometer mountain road leading into the City of Death has been completely opened by Qin Xuan. The entire route is patrolled by powerful and elite soldiers around the clock and is heavily guarded.

All the bandits within a hundred miles radius were killed by Qin Xuan, and the remaining thieves also fled to remote areas hundreds of miles away.

The "safe passage" to enter Qinxuan is calculated based on the goods. The more goods you bring, the more fees you pay.

Ordinary people without goods only need to pay a toll of 800 silver coins (one silver coin per kilometer) to pass freely.

Those who can afford Ziwujin will definitely not be short of such a small amount of money.

More than half of the people paid the toll and planned to enter the City of Death to "see the situation." It was said that purple gold was everywhere outside the City of Death, and there was no need to spend money to buy it. You could just pick it up from the ground.

There is indeed a large amount of Ziwu gold ore around the City of Death.

However, the cost of transporting the Ziwu gold ore was very high, so Qin Xuan and the City Lord's Mansion jointly started a "transportation industry."

In order to facilitate management, it is prohibited to store or transport materials in the transportation channel, and horse-drawn carriages must be used to transport materials.

All transported materials must be weighed before being put on the road. The toll collection method is similar to that of highways in the 21st century. Not only weight but also mileage must be calculated. The cost of transporting materials is very high.

To transport a pound of purple black gold from the City of Death to the outside world, the transportation fee alone costs 2,000 silver coins.

At the same time, Mang Taihu also sent the royal imperial army from the city lord's palace into the mountain to destroy the bandits.

In name, the Royal Guards exterminate bandits, but in fact they recruit and utilize them. Most of the powerful bandits are composed of retired Royal Guards. Now that Mang Taihu wants to recruit them again, of course they are very happy.

The reason why Mang Taihu had to "abandon" these elites before was mainly because Mang Taihu's income was limited and he could not support so many people at the same time.

The burden of supporting a royal guard is very heavy. Not only must they be given a high salary, but they must also be provided with a large amount of material expenses.

The most important thing is that in addition to tens of thousands of royal guards, Mang Taihu also maintains a large number of elite royal guards.

The number of the Royal Forbidden Army is even more than a million. The territory in Mang Taihu's hands is only the Black Mountain of the Undead. Although the supplies are extremely rich, it is really difficult to feed such a large number of people at the same time.

Now, Qin Xuan's transportation plan helped Mang Taihu solve almost all the problems.

After the transportation channels were completely opened, the price of Ziwujin not only did not fall, but also soared.

A large number of people in the outside world can enter the City of Death through safe passages to "make money".

After entering the city, they purchased purple black gold in the city and transported it to the outside world for sale. They paid Qin Xuan a large amount of silver coins as tolls, and Qin Xuan took half of the money and gave it to Mang Taihu.

Although a single small merchant did not pay a large amount of silver coins as tribute to Mang Taihu, the number of people who came to dig for gold was overwhelming.

For more than ten days in a row, Mang Taihu collected hundreds of billions of dividends from transportation fees every day, and all of this money was earned on his own, which was really exciting.

On the other hand, because the transportation channels are opened, living materials from the outside world can be transported to the City of Death.

As a result, the prices of the extremely expensive living materials in the City of Death finally dropped significantly.

The drop in the price of daily necessities has also significantly reduced the cost of raising troops for Mang Taihu.

The price of Ziwujin has increased and the price of daily necessities has dropped, which means that the pressure on Mang Taihu to raise troops no longer exists, and he can significantly expand his army and improve his strength.

Those bandits and bandits entrenched in the periphery naturally became his targets.

Half a month later, Mang Taihu hosted a banquet for Qin Xuan in the hall of the city lord's palace.

This time, not only Mang Taihu himself was present, but a large number of staff from the city lord's palace were also invited by him.

Qin Xuan took Gypsophila, Qin Fang and others to the banquet.

"Hahaha!" After entering the hall, Mang Taihu personally greeted Qin Xuan at the door of the living room, "Boss Qin is really a young hero, which is admirable!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Xuan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lord City Lord, for taking care of me."

"It should, it should!" Mang Taihu said carelessly, "Mantianxing Trading Company is a major taxpayer in our Imperial Golden City (City of Death). If I don't take care of you, the God of Wealth, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat in the future.

!”

Mang Taihu, according to his name, is a rough guy with a tough head and a tough brain, and his status is so noble that people look up to him, but in fact he is not as unhuman as ordinary people imagine.

On the contrary, Mang Taihu's personality is quite easy-going.

If you are of use to me, I will use you politely. If you are of no use to me, I will not even look at you.

After sitting down, Mang Taihu asked someone to pour a glass of wine for Qin Xuan, and then called all the staff of the City Lord's Mansion to stand up and toast Qin Xuan.

The rules of the royal family are obviously beyond Qin Xuan's imagination.

In the first round, Mang Taihu led a group of male staff from the city lord's palace to toast Qin Xuan. After that, the queen led a group of female staff to toast Qin Xuan.

The last step was for Qin Xuan to return the favor and give everyone a drink.

After the polite etiquette was over, Qin Xuan went straight to the point and told the purpose of his visit!

"Sir City Lord, I came to the City Lord's Mansion today not only to meet with the City Lord, but also to rent a piece of land from the City Lord!"

"Renting right?" Mang Taihu said in astonishment, "Exactly... what does it mean?"

Qin Xuan said solemnly: "That's it. I bought a house in the Imperial Golden City before. It was quite spacious at the beginning, but now that the business is increasing, that piece of land is no longer enough.

Already!"

"I hope the city lord can lease the area 20 kilometers outside the Imperial Golden City to me. I want to open a market and build a warehouse here!"

"What?" Mang Taihu's expression suddenly changed, "You want to expand my Imperial Golden City by 40 miles?"

"Yes!" Qin Xuan nodded and replied, "Don't you, the city lord, think that the Imperial Golden City is too crowded now?"
