Translator: 549690339
The king of the south, Borch. It had to be him. There was no one else. Borch had suffered a huge loss at Zhao Hai’s hands. At the same time, he hated the Versailles family. When Hart and the others first entered the waters of the Arkas Empire, it was the territory of the king of the south. He had the ability to mobilize a warship to attack Hart and the others. Therefore, Zhao Hai was almost certain that this matter was definitely done by Borch.
However, Zhao Hai was not in the mood to deal with Borch. They had already arrived at Jade water city. The size of Jade water city was similar to Outwater city, and the way it was operated was similar. The only difference was that the Duchy’s Pier was larger and cleaner.
Of course, Zhao Hai would not Park his boat at the public Pier. No matter what, Charlie was on the boat and he had his own private pier.
Under Charlie’s guidance, Zhao Hai steered the boat to Charlie’s personal dock. It was obvious that the people there already knew that Charlie was on the boat, so they did not stop him. On the contrary, the shore was filled with people waiting to welcome him.
After the Paradise was docked, they immediately put down the gangplank. Charlie led Zhao Hai and the rest off the ship and told Li Rui to arrange for paradise to be sent to the repair factory for repair. After all, paradise had suffered some damage in the previous battle.
Zhao Hai did not reject Charlie’s good intentions. After informing Jin ‘an, he followed Charlie into the carriage and rushed to the city Lord’s mansion with the city Lord of Jade water city.
The city Lord of Jade water city was called trezeb. He was Charlie’s right-hand man and helped Charlie manage the money bag. Trezeb was very thin and looked dry, but Zhao Hai did not underestimate him. Although there was no Dou Qi fluctuation on this person, Zhao Hai could feel the same temperament as Shunyi.
What was a straight one? Death warrior, what would a person with the same temperament as Shunyi be? The answer was positive. He was also a death warrior. This surprised Zhao Hai. He never thought that Charlie would send a death warrior to manage Jade water city.
As the carriage headed into the mayor’s residence, the curtains on both sides of the windows were opened. Charlie pointed out some of the famous buildings in the Jade water city to Zhao Hai.
What surprised Zhao Hai the most was that the land of Jade water was different from celestial water city and water out city. In the city of Jade water, people who sold the same things were concentrated in various areas of the city. If this area sold food, then it was all food. If this area sold daily necessities, then it was all daily necessities. This way, you would never find the wrong place.
Zhao Hai had not expected Charlie to manage the Jade water city this way, but he had to admit that this was a good way to manage the city.
Seeing Zhao Hai’s approval of this management method, Charlie was also very proud, because he was the one who suggested this management method.
The carriage soon arrived at the city Lord’s mansion. This mansion was very magnificent, but it was still a little inferior to the Smith Mansion in celestial water city.
After entering the mayor’s mansion, they went straight through three doors. Trezeb arranged for Zhao Hai and Charlie to stay in a purple bamboo house. This was the largest, most beautiful, and most elegant courtyard in the mayor’s mansion. It was also a courtyard specially reserved for Charlie.
Zhao Hai didn’t want to stay here at first, but he had no choice. Charlie was too friendly and insisted that he stay in the purple bamboo house. Zhao Hai had no choice but to agree.
To be honest, Zhao Hai really liked the environment here. It was really beautiful, and Zhao Hai really liked bamboo. The purple bamboo house was filled with purple bamboo, which was very beautiful.
Bamboo rice was actually a type of bamboo, but that kind of bamboo was too common and mainly produced grain, so its ornamental value was ignored.
The purple bamboo was not just for show. It was a very good material for weapons on the continent. Thin bamboo could be used as the shaft of a spear or used to make bows. In addition, the toughness of this bamboo was very strong, so weapons made of this bamboo were very popular on the continent.
However, this bamboo was like a breadfruit tree. It had very high requirements for the environment. There were very strict requirements for temperature, humidity, and climate. Otherwise, it would not survive. Therefore, the production on the mainland was not very high.
The Jade water city was the largest production area of purple bamboo. The mountains here were full of purple bamboo, and it had become the main export product here.
When they arrived at the purple bamboo thicket, trezeb took his leave. He had to prepare a banquet to welcome Charlie. He did not arrange for too many people to wait on Charlie in the courtyard because he knew that Charlie disliked this the most. Therefore, before Charlie arrived, he had ordered people to clean the courtyard well and only left four maids behind. This was just what Charlie and Zhao Hai wanted.
Because everything was well prepared, Zhao Hai and the others didn’t need to prepare anything, so they quickly packed up.
There were a total of 27 rooms in the purple bamboo house. Charlie stayed in the main room, while Zhao Hai stayed in a relatively independent building at the back.
After Zhao Hai and the others had finished packing, trezeb appeared once more. This time, he was here to invite Charlie and the others to dinner. While trezeb was away, he had asked him to do some research on Zhao Hai. Although he had some information on Zhao Hai before, he had not placed much importance on him at the time. However, now that he saw how much Charlie valued Zhao Hai, even inviting him to live in the purple bamboo Wan, trezeb understood. Zhao Hai had probably become Charlie’s man. As Charlie’s trusted aide, he naturally had to share his burden and investigate Zhao Hai’s background.
After they sat down in the dining room, the maids immediately served the food. It was very good. The things that trezeb had prepared were not particularly luxurious, but they were all special. They were all seasonal and fresh.
Charlie was also very satisfied with this arrangement. During the meal, he specially introduced trezeb and Zhao Hai to each other.
After the meal, they went to the living room and sat down. Charlie took a sip of Keya and turned to look at trezewu. &Quot; telai, give Mr. Zhao Hai my badge tomorrow. From now on, all of his taxes in Jade water city will be waived. His ship can use my special dock. Oh, and find a good shop for Mr. Zhao Hai. After you’re done packing, send it to him. It’ll be my gift to him.
Trezeb responded. Zhao Hai did not stand on ceremony and smiled at Charlie, &Quot; thank you, Your Highness. I’ll send you the things you want after I’ve settled down. By the way, I want to buy a batch of daily necessities and ironware. I’ll need your help with that. &Quot;
Charlie was stunned,”ironware?” What does Sir want ironware for? A weapon? Even if I want to mass produce weapons, I have to report it at home. And you know, my identity is very complicated. Sometimes, it’s not as convenient as other people to do these things.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” I know. Don’t worry, Your Highness. I don’t need too many ironware, but I need a lot of daily necessities. Most importantly, I need a lot of pottery. Your Highness, can you help me? ” I also want too much, one ship is enough.”
Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Charlie nodded, &Quot; if that’s the case, then there’s no problem. Don’t worry, Sir. Terry, you have to prepare a pool and transportation tool for you in the shortest time possible. How many days do you need? ”
&Quot; Your Highness, ” trezeb said after some thought, ” Sir’s things can be prepared by tomorrow, but the pit of fire and transportation will take at least ten days. &Quot;
