In the makeshift hut, Testero met Fiona, who had taken off her cloak.
Fiona bowed politely and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty Testero. I am Fiona, the manager of the Datang Chamber of Commerce and the chief administrator of the Tang En Majesty. I will be in charge of the negotiations."
While the rogue mages were settling the refugees, Fiona took the opportunity to secretly meet with the dwarven experts who had come to survey the area. The result was good news.
This place was indeed a giant hematite mine. It was so large that it was impossible to explore it clearly. This meant that it was almost impossible to mine it completely with the current level of technology.
With the rapid development of metallurgy and Ellington's rapid development, as well as the hot sales of various magic machines, the amount of universal alloy consumed by Ellington every day was quite terrifying. The current production capacity of the Brussels Iron Mine could no longer meet Ellington's needs. Now, Ellington had begun to import iron ore from other regions to synthesize universal alloy.
Because the efficiency of mining in other places could not be compared to Ellington's, the hot sales caused the price of the already expensive iron ore to increase even more. The increase in the price of the ore seriously affected the production cost. Now, Fiona was having a headache about this.
Tang En had already become the Regent of the Irus Empire. The mines that originally belonged to the Spade Family had been successfully recovered, but the mines had not yet been modified with new technology, so their production capacity was still very low. One had to admit that modifying an existing mine was more troublesome than using new technology to open a new mine. Just figuring out the complex mine tunnels and laying transportation tracks in them was quite troublesome.
If one could have their own large iron mine and use the latest technology to mine, the production capacity would instantly surpass all the existing mines, and the cost would be extremely low.
It was precisely because of this that Tang En was so concerned about the demolition of Bul-Kathos.
Testero was very surprised that Tang En would give such an important task to a woman, but he did not say anything. He sat down obediently and discussed it with Fiona face to face.
Fiona first took out a document that clearly listed the various support and assistance provided by Ellington. In order to make it easier for the orcs who were slow with numbers to understand, the value of each item was very clear.
"First of all, during the construction of the city, we will provide food assistance to your refugees. Currently, the market price of wheat in the Irus Empire is stable at 13 gold coins per ton … Oh, how much is a ton? I will show you later. Currently, the number of refugees is about 1.2 million."
"According to the average orc's daily consumption of 1 kilogram of wheat, that is to say, at least 1400 tons of food per day, which is about 20,000 gold coins worth of wheat. Of course, I know that you can't just eat wheat flour, but also various kinds of meat, milk, and eggs. The average daily food standard will be 40,000 gold coins."
"But considering that there will be no food harvest for a long time after the city is rebuilt, we will continue to provide food for you for a long time until next year's autumn harvest, which is the same time next year. During this time, the food import fee for this period will be 14.4 million gold coins. I can give you a discount of 14 million gold coins. Or you can also transfer food from other parts of the Ryan Empire. This will reduce the economic pressure as much as possible."
Tang En, who was sitting silently on the side, secretly gave Fiona a thumbs up. As expected of an advisor, she was quietly putting pressure on Testero.
If she did not give him a certain amount of pressure, the following negotiations would be quite difficult.
1.2 million people, just the food alone would be 14 million gold coins worth of food per year.
Sure enough, she did not dare to calculate this kind of thing.
Testero wiped his wet forehead with a trembling hand and said with trembling lips, "Just the food alone cost 14 million gold coins, and there's also the commission that His Majesty Twain mentioned earlier … Where am I going to get such a large sum of money …"
Ravitz suddenly said with a look of expectation: "If you are willing to use your identity as the king of the Ryan Empire as collateral, our Star Diamond Bank is happy to provide you with loan services."
'F * ck! You want me to sell my country! '
Testero immediately glared fiercely: "In your dreams!"
"Don't worry, you won't be so nervous after I calculate it for you."
Fiona smiled. Although Tang En's plan was actually similar to Ravitz ', at least they could make Testero completely unaware and willingly jump into the pit.
"Please go ahead."
"Food support is one thing, and the other is the construction of the city. I believe Tang En Majesty should have already mentioned it to you. Our Tang Chamber of Commerce is a very professional chamber of commerce. They can definitely give you a perfect reborn Bul-Kathos. Of course, it's up to you whether you accept it or not. As for the construction of the city, it's here. Please take a look."
Fiona took out another document for Testero to look at.
Testero took it and read it. His Loen language was quite good, so he did not feel any pressure reading it.
The title was quite concise and went straight to the point: "The Datang Chamber of Commerce's Comprehensive Offer for the Reconstruction of Bul-Kathos (Note: The following offers do not include materials and construction costs)."

After reading these lines one by one and seeing the extremely clear picture next to them, Testero couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Oh my god, when did the human countries reach such an advanced level!?
Is that really a city? A city for people to live in? Not a kingdom of heaven?
Noticing the change in Testero's expression, Tang En and Fiona looked at each other and nodded secretly.
Testero was tempted. They both knew that this matter was already half done.
"Is this true?"
Testero pointed at the tap and said in shock, "As long as you turn on the tap, clean and clear water will come out?"
Tang En nodded. "Of course, but in contrast, we need to build a water plant to disinfect the water and pressurize it to each household … Of course, you don't have to worry about the water plant. After we train them, this plant can also provide a lot of jobs and create a lot of wealth."
In fact, Prandal didn't have any industrial development, so the water was quite clean. The only way to disinfect it was to boil it and add chlorine to sterilize it. Adding too many other things could easily cause chemical pollution.
"Hiss …"
Testero sucked in a breath of cold air and pointed at the bus in the picture and asked, "This thing is also real?"
"Of course it's real. We've already started using it in our country. Now, you can take the bus in every city. It's good and cheap."
Testero was tempted.
He was really tempted.
Compared to the city in the picture, although the previous Bul-Kathos had a kind of rough beauty, it didn't look like a city that a civilized race lived in!
In the past, he wanted to change Bul-Kathos, but now Bul-Kathos was gone!
In other words, he could completely build a new city according to his wishes!
Let's do it!
