Dr. Xa's lecture continues.
"The dragon's favorite is raw meat. Moreover, years of research have shown that we prefer Shana cow meat without exception."
I know this too.
If you live in Dragon Nation, it's common sense.
Shana cattle are huge cattle kept in the Shana region, and when they are adults, they weigh as much as 800 kilograms.
Pretty tasty, circulates as a luxury cow, but has become more famous as a dragon bait than a person.
For some reason the dragons have a preference, other than Shana cows, they try to satisfy their appetite in quantities.
I mean, it's gonna be a big meal.
Since the cost of feeding dragons is one of the factors plaguing dragon manipulators, they will all give Shana beef.
There is a wide pasture area to the southeast of the Wang capital, where many Shana cattle are kept.
"In the case of small dragons, we would be satisfied if we gave one Shana cow every thirty days. Still, it's tough."
We will need one shana cow every thirty days, or one shana cow a month.
The price of one Shana cow is the salary of an ordinary worker, roughly for a year.
When the average person works for a year, he or she will generally receive a salary for one head of Shana cow.
If you don't have a patron, you could be bankrupt just for food.
Or bankrupt for sure.
"A military dragon jockey is naturally paid a salary. It is true that there are more than ordinary soldiers. But naturally it's not enough to keep a dragon."
Everyone nodded.
That is why a supporter system called patrons exists.
"Earlier bait bills are one of them. In addition, there are things to attach to the dragon itself and things to use in the dragon house. Caregivers will also need to be attached. Dragon jockeys can sometimes be in an official setting. Sometimes you will need ornaments and gifts. If you try to bribe them all in front of yourself, you're in big trouble."
We all understand the importance of patrons because we're going to spend the rest of our lives as partners.
Why do you think we're talking about that now? There was a continuation.
"Patrons are controlled by the state. Of course, the hope you've all submitted is true, but people and criminals who are isolated from this country cannot naturally be registered."
So Dr. Kisa took a breath and looked around at us.
"In fact, another important provision has been added since this year. Not yet announced to the public, but within a few months there will be a circular from the Royal Castle"
Some say, "Huh? No way," or "I knew it," he says out loud.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
"In recent years, a 'Dragon Trainer Fund' has been established to assist many patrons with one dragon trainer. This has been confirmed to include a large number of people who are not intended to assist dragon jockeys. Therefore, the ban on dragon operator funds, in dragon operators who have already made funds, will instruct them to dismantle."
Several classmates were disappointed by Dr. Xa's words.
What the hell, the Dragon Trainer Fund?
I asked Ark during the break. [M]
"The Dragon Trainer Fund is a gathering of people to support dragon trainers."
……
Unfortunately, I have no knowledge at all, so I don't know what that means.
"Three years ago, I guess. One dragon jockey came up with the idea that patrons pay their contributions to the state every month, but they can pay in advance, right? One year, maybe five."
"Where I could, you don't have that much extra money"
"Right. That's why I recruited him. Shanna, I was wondering if you could just become a patron with the money for one cow."
"That's all there is to it... No, it's possible if we gather the numbers"
In the case of small dragons, twenty-four Shana cattle will be required per year.
If we were to advance the cost of feeding Shana cattle for ten years, it would be good if there were two hundred and forty, that is, an equal number of investors.
"The price for a head of Shana cow is a lot of money for one of the general public. Come on, it's not something I can get out. But there were a lot of people who could get it out if they worked hard."
"Naturally. Even we're a small bakery in town, but if you want to get out, that's about it..."
"That sort of thing. We got together. About a thousand people if I speak up. The money for a dragon jockey isn't just for bait, but if you still gather the numbers, you'll do anything."
"But if you do that..."
You can't just have more patrons.
"Well, I wonder if about two thousand people became patrons then. I can be a dragon jockey patron for a small amount of money, so there's no harm in running for office."
"I don't know. That's just patron title craving. Does that make sense?
Patrons of dragon jockeys are entertained because they personally support dragon jockeys.
At the same time, I have the peace of mind that I can make that much money available.
Whether or not the counterparty is a patron is, I think, a pretty important issue.
But if a patron could be named for such a small amount, wouldn't it be worth half as much?
"You just have to have a return that's more than your capital contribution. You can be proud of your surroundings all your life, and if you're doing business, it's gonna be a sign."
"So you're banned from this year."
"Last year, we created a fund just like a couple of people to recruit investors. And last year, a fund targeting dragon jockey came out from the beginning. I thought the country would have to move when we got here."
Was it that serious?
But what is the Dragon Trainer Fund?
That's a lot to think about.
"Well, I was disappointed earlier"
"You can talk about that at the tea party. Looks like some of them were already getting ready to set up a fund, and some of them were pretty well funded."
"Huh, that was happening where I didn't know it"
"You're not always here. In the pantry or at a tea party."
"I don't like places with a lot of people."
Think of me as a man who loves loneliness and darkness.
Because it's not me.
"You don't need a deep connection with patrons when you make a fund, so it's also good for dragon jockeys. But I can't use this hand anymore this year. Well, what do you come up with next?"
Ark laughed.
The way I laughed seemed kind of like I was making fun of them or I was being objective.
