Golden Pig Jamie

Street lights could be used to combat pollution, but Newtown currently has no money to install them.

It would be great if we could get the blueprints for the street lights, but it's a pity that Earl Ya'an won't let the masters of the Mechanical City repair the most basic facilities. Although for the current new town, these basic facilities are the most needed.

Despite this, the trip was still fruitful.

A week later, the mechanic returned to the new town with Number One and his apprentice.

Number One was very satisfied with the result and went back to his room. At the same time, the door that had been closed for a long time opened.

The young man with messy hair yawned as he pushed open the door. The glaring sunlight made Mason squint subconsciously.

He handed a thick stack of papers to Rambo, who glanced through them briefly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Various dessert recipes, complete underground tunnel and water pipeline concepts, and other small plans.

“Is this something you came up with?”

"Those recipes are for dessert for Ollie. You can try making them for her. They are what I promised to give her before."

"The underground tunnel is used when expanding the new town to facilitate the discharge of sewage and purify the environment. I want to send the water in the well to the homes of the townspeople and build a tap water pipeline."

"There are also plans for waste disposal, composting pond construction and road construction."

Since the decision was made to develop the new town, in addition to the general direction, the details also had to be taken care of. Mason selected a few more important directions and rushed to work on them in the next few days to comprehensively improve the quality of life of the people in the new town.

"Laying the pipeline requires a lot of ore, and before that we need to build a furnace. We have to hire a few blacksmiths."

"I remember you said there are iron mines in Viscount Burke's territory, right?"

Rambo's initial analysis was correct. Mason wanted to directly annex the other party's territory. But the transfer order from Earl Ya'an has not arrived yet, and he is not in a good position now. It would be better to negotiate before the transfer order comes down. If it can be mutually beneficial, it would be a good thing.

Since there are iron mines in the territory, there must be a lot of blacksmiths. You can take this opportunity to hire some.

Mason asked, "What kind of person is Viscount Burke?"

Rambo thought about the wording and said, "That is a nobleman who fits the image of a bloodline person."

Generally speaking, the image of bloodline people in the eyes of ordinary people is not good. Powerful bloodline people are particularly susceptible to pollution, which in turn affects their personality. There was a time when cruel bloodline people were even more feared than monsters.

"If you want to trade with him, do you think it is possible?"

"As long as you have the chips, all the impossible things in the world will become possible. But it may be difficult to buy them at a reasonable price."

Rambo said calmly, "Cities in different regions have their own industries to make a living. For example, the North grows many polluted herbs, and they also sell pollution-purifying chemicals. The East is mainly based on minerals and weapons, which are hard currency. The West sells a large amount of polluted beast materials, and also finds a lot of precious materials in the black fog. The South is mainly based on beasts, and it is home to the largest number of ordinary people."

"Having vast plains and forests means that mountains are scarce. Earl Yaan's territory is particularly lacking in mineral veins, which makes iron ore even more precious. Viscount Burke used this to save money lavishly, and would only save some when the Earl needed it. He is notorious among the nobles."

It's difficult to deal with such a person as an enemy, and it's not reliable to treat him as an ally. Mason thought for a moment and said, "Can you help me contact the other party to discuss the purchase?"

Rambo hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "If you need, I can go there on behalf of Xinzhen."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Rambo had never thought that he would return to Ya'an City so soon. He had stayed in Ya'an City for several years and had established a good network of contacts, which came in handy at this time.

He found an acquaintance of his who was a famous intermediary in Ya'an City and knew a lot of information.

This is why Rambo specifically asked Olih to go to the Chamber of Commerce to discuss business on his behalf. The middleman has a thousand connections with these people, and he doesn't want to be hated by others.

After hearing his intention, the middleman readily agreed: "I can introduce you to Jamie the Golden Pig. He is Viscount Burke's confidant and will help him manage the sale of iron ore. He is just like his master, a vengeful brat. Don't offend him, or you won't be able to buy anything from him."

"Thank you for your kindness, I understand." Rambo nodded, stood up and picked up the hat on the table: "I have a lot of things to do, please help me arrange them as soon as possible."

"What is our relationship? Of course no problem. I'll contact him right away."

Jamie the Golden Pig is a chubby man, so called because of his greed and loyalty. Pigs dig truffles from the forest, and this guy is like a golden pig, digging for gold everywhere for his master.

His eyes were narrowed into a slit, and his expensive dress was so tight that one could not help but worry about the buttons. His sleek face was shrewd as he carefully studied Rambo. The corners of his mouth pulled upwards, revealing an exaggerated smile.

"Oh, dear sir, I am so glad to see you. Anyone who can do business is my good brother, Jamie. How much iron ore do you want?"

“The more the merrier.”

"Oh... So that's how it is." Jamie's eyes rolled, and the smile on his face became more sincere: "You want to buy such a large amount of ore, I have to go back and discuss it with the Viscount. I wonder what it's used for?"

The brainworm's expression remained unchanged: "This has nothing to do with our deal."

"Haha, you're right. This is just my personal curiosity."

"I have heard of your great name. If you were buying the ore for the Earl, the Viscount would have given it to you no matter how much it was. But now that you have a new master, we are in a difficult position."

Rambo was not surprised that he knew his identity. A middleman, a middleman, of course, is a middleman if he does business on both sides.

"So what do you want to do?"

"I need to talk to the Viscount. If you don't mind, please wait here for a while."

"Of course, please help yourself."

Jamie walked to the room on the second floor. He turned on the link, a pale blue light rose, and a lewd scene appeared on the other side of the camera.

The man leaned back against the soft and luxurious mattress, kneading the waist of the person in his arms. This is a pair of precious twins, the elder sister is charming and the younger brother is young. Even if there are people watching, the Viscount still plays recklessly.

"What's up, Jamie?"

Jamie bowed his body slightly and said, "Sir, someone from Cross Territory contacted me and wanted to buy a large amount of iron ore. What price do you think would be good?"

"The Cross Territory... I remember it was the territory ruled by the Viscount and his wife. When they first came, I wanted to establish diplomatic relations with them, but they were so focused on the kid cursed by the black mist that they ignored my overtures."

The Viscount sneered: "The Viscount couple were sent to the West, and we don't know when they will be back. The son they left behind is also a waste, so there is no need to be too polite to him."

Jamie asked cautiously, "Sir, I heard that the Crosses' son is a genius pharmacist. If I offend him, will there be trouble in the future?"

Burke smiled contemptuously: "Jamie, remember, strength always comes first. As long as he is still a weakling, he will never be qualified to stand on the same level with me. So what if he is a genius pharmacist? Aren't there many geniuses who died young?"

"Hmm... but what you said makes sense. So, find a reason to go to their town and take a look. If it turns out to be a waste, then follow the old rules."

"You are a smart person. I like you very much. I will leave this matter to you. If our young master does not know his identity, you should tell him how to ask me to agree to trade."

The other party buried his head deeply: "I understand, everything will go according to your ideas."

"Okay, you can leave now."

A playful smile came from the other side of the screen. Jamie didn't look up and just respectfully turned off the contact.

He returned to the first floor and exchanged a few warm words with Rambo. The two sides agreed on a time to go back to the new town for a look.

It was Roland who greeted them. The Bloodline exchanged a few warm words, then whispered to Rambo, "Master Mason went out with the pioneer team and hasn't come back yet."

Rambo had sent the letter a few days ago, so Mason naturally knew about it. His absence was undoubtedly an excuse. It was just an agent who came, so we couldn't ask the leader to come and greet him in person, right?

The Brainworm Bloodline nodded and said, "Mr. Jamie wants to see the new town, so you will be in charge of guiding him."

Roland said calmly: "Okay, I will definitely complete the task."

To be fair, Roland was the blood relative who was most familiar with this town. He introduced the new town conscientiously, which was interesting to anyone who listened.

But Jamie was not impressed at all. He toured the town critically: wooden houses that looked like they had just been built. Dirt roads, poor townspeople, and the fact that the nobles didn't even have a castle...

The village looked shabby and worthless from everywhere. It seemed that he was indeed worrying too much. After all, what could a cursed person who had barely escaped death achieve?

"Oh, this place is really beautiful and full of nature."

Roland enthusiastically introduced the farmland, and Jamie responded hypocritically, but he was even more disdainful in his heart.

Southerners eat meat as their staple food. Who would eat wheat every day? Eating white bread every day is a symbol of status, provided that it is not just white bread!

Jamie was thinking absentmindedly when his feet suddenly went soft and he almost fell down. Fortunately, Roland pulled him up in time.

"Please be careful, Mr. Jamie. The fields are not easy to walk on."

Jamie looked down and saw what he had stepped on, his expression suddenly became extremely interesting. He shook off the other person's hand fiercely, pulled the expensive deerskin boots out from the unspeakable things on the ground, and was so angry that he almost roared.

"Why are you doing this here...!?"

Damn his boots!

Roland suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "The work in the farmland is quite busy, and everyone has no time to run around, so we just stay nearby..."

You can't suffocate to death! Besides, they are just a bunch of rough guys, how can you expect them to be particular?

Seeing Roland's innocent expression, Jamie's face turned pale and black. Finally, he could only fake a smile and said, "Haha, the townspeople in your town are really kind-hearted."

The last four words were uttered with great force. He suppressed his anger and mentally made a big note of the young master whom he had not yet met. If he did not give the other party a good beating, he would be unworthy of being the golden pig of Viscount Burke's territory!
