Tassa has been staying in a hotel in the inner city these days, anxiously waiting for a reply from the border town.
The towering inner city walls divide the capital into two different worlds, and strict control is imposed on entry and exit. Whether aristocrats or wealthy businessmen, they need to conduct a comprehensive inspection in the small room at the entrance. Once there are signs of illness, such as fever, flushing, and dark spots, they will not be allowed to enter.
After leaving the inner city, you must rush back in the evening of the day, otherwise once the sun sets and the city gates are closed, you can only stay outside overnight.
But this still cannot stop the spread of the evil epidemic. Yesterday he had heard rumors that nobles were infected in the inner city. If the church had not finally released the first batch of holy medicines, the nobles would have collectively evacuated the capital.
Just the sixth day after the letter was sent out, the Margaret Chamber of Commerce finally came to the news.
He hurried to a tailor shop at the agreed location, and was then taken into the basement by the clerk, and the owner of the chamber of commerce had been waiting here for a long time.
Margaret was sitting upright next to a low table, with a basin of ice water on the table, which was constantly emitting a burst of cold air.
Sweaty Tassa walked across from her and sat cross-legged. He suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing towards him, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
The letter from His Highness that he asked me to give you, she handed over a folded sheepskin envelope, and the lacquer on the seal looked intact.
Tassa couldn't wait to disassemble it, and took out the letter paper and briefly explained the action plan, the news of the First Army's departure, and the tasks he needed to complete.
After reading it carefully, he put the letter in his arms without hesitation and looked at Margaret, "Did Your Highness make any requests to you?"
No, he just entrusted the messenger to send this letter. Of course, express messaging requires a fee, and I have already recorded it in my account.
Ahem, that's right, Tassa cleared his throat, His Highness needed to transport all the escaped people back to the Western border in a very short time, so he hopes that you can provide a large number of ships for uninterrupted transportation, rather than a fleet or two.
Even if they are infected?Margaret speculated with interest, I think he would definitely not want to turn the entire Western border into a dead place, so... His Highness found a cure for the evil epidemic?
Indeed, he nodded. In fact, patients were already present on the first fleet, but they did not erupt at that time and were not discovered until he arrived in the town.Now they are on their way back to the capital, and all the crew are safe and sound.
His Highness Roland is indeed an incredible person. Even the church has not taken out the antidote so quickly. Margaret exclaimed, how many days does he plan to transport refugees?One week?
Tassa stretched out three fingers.
This...is impossible!The businesswoman was stunned for a moment, and soon shook his head and said, "Even if half of these people die, there are still more than 5,000 people. The transportation within three days means that I need to prepare nearly 100 sailboats. Even if other ships in the Chamber of Commerce stop for transportation, it just happens to meet this number. In this way, the losses I suffered may be more than thousands of golden dragons, and the lost customers are even more uncountable. Even if the steam engine is free, it cannot offset this amount.So...please forgive me for refusal.
If everyone is sitting on the deck instead of lying in a cabin with a bed, the number of people a boat can carry can double. Tassa insists that if it is not comfortable, the two-masted sailboats that transport ore can also be transported. Just lift the hatch cover and can load about 200 people at a time.Your old friend Hogg should have many such ships, right?
In Silver Light City, he does have several such big ships... Margaret looks a little hesitant, and according to your algorithm, it can probably reduce the number of ships to about fifty.But... this is not a good deal.
Tassa also believes that it takes a lot of effort to get dozens of ships to gather on the canal, and the cost of charging is not all in his pocket. It is both laborious and laborious, and he has not gained much work. No matter how you do it, it cannot be considered a good deal.
At this point, he could only use his last move.
His Highness wrote a small line at the end of the letter: If Margaret is unwilling to help, tell her that lightning is coming.
This sentence makes people confused. Is there any special relationship between the businesswoman and the lively and cute blond girl?
In terms of appearance, it doesn't look like Ah...but His Highness must have his own reasons to say this.
Thinking of this, Tassa slowly spoke, "It is a forced approach to transport it away within three days." What His Highness did was equivalent to snatching food from a tiger's mouth. If it was delayed for too long, the church would probably come to the door. Lightning was also in this team, and it would be dangerous for them to find that there was a witch.
What did you say?Her voice suddenly became higher, and lightning came too?
His Highness’s letter said this, Tassa pretended to be honest, probably to guide the team and provide early warning.After all, this is the territory of the new king Tifeko.
I got it, Margaret stood up, when do you need a boat?
It should be four days later, if they are not delayed on the road.
I will try my best to make arrangements. She walked to the desk and started to write quickly. But I have a condition. You must tell me where His Highness’s team is stationed. If they want to enter the city, I can also arrange sufficient rooms.
OK, it seems that this trick is indeed effective. I think it's okay, Tassa said secretly, and I also need your help.
After saying that, Margaret sighed.
I need a team of carriages to haul the barrels, the more barrels the better, but don't load ale or wine in it, but fill it with river or well water.According to His Highness’s letter, the key figure in solving the evil epidemic is the witch Lily, who can convert ordinary water into a good medicine to cure diseases.
However, there is a serious loophole in this plan, that is, the mice must not be allowed to approach the First Military Camp. If they know that there are people in the camp who are constantly making holy medicines, Tassa will bet that the news will be known the next day.
River water and well water?She raised her eyebrows, are you sure?
Don't worry, Your Highness will pay for it.Tassa smiled.
For confidentiality and security considerations, he could only transport the journey from the team's station to the capital.
If you carry water bags to eliminate evil epidemics like treating fugitives in the East, you will not only have trouble, but also have very low efficiency.
He had to find a way to bring in as much purified water as possible at once.
The huge wine barrels installed on the four-wheeled carriage are obviously a good choice.
