The Defeated Dragon

Knight has gone far.

The town of Flowers has restored dawn tranquillity, but the town administration is very lively, with officials from Port Town, Flowers Town, and Knights Left behind, all concentrated here under the chairmanship of a Gaultai adviser.

“Isaiah, Blair, let's talk about the finances of the two towns, and then we can rationalize the subsidies of the gold coins supported by the Lord. ”

Isaiah begins by saying: “The income of the town of flowers is roughly as follows… The expenditure of the town of flowers is roughly as follows… The total calculation shows that the running water of the town is very high, but to bear the consumption of the castle and the island of Hema, we lose more than about five gold coins a day, and we need to subsidize at least 150 gold coins a month. ”

The construction of the town of Flowers has stagnated slightly, and most of the industries are making money. Unfortunately, major projects are either mortgaged or have limited capacity to be withdrawn as cash cows on an ongoing basis. Coupled with the day-to-day consumption of the castle and the support of construction materials on Black Horse Island, it is indeed difficult to operate.

Blair goes on to say: "The port town's current main revenues, relying solely on ceramics and charcoal from rubber and brick plants produced by rubber trees… The port town's expenditures will have to cover the full construction of Hema Island, and the works will be short of people, lack of goods, lack of money… at least fifteen gold coins a day. ”

Rubber production is not yet high, and brick factories have to meet territorial needs.

Black Horse is also the first of a variety of industries, and it is already healthy to keep losing only fifteen gold coins a day.

The two Councillors reported on the Territory.

Gaultai cleared his voice and said: "My lord has allocated a total of 2300 gold coins to the Territory's finances, and I plan to put out the total price of 500 gold coins to store food. According to the adults, to store enough food for 10,000 new serfs, coupled with the existing inhabitants of the Territory, 15,000 people need to be served. ”

“Consultant, we are constantly accumulating food, food must rise dramatically, I think a thousand gold coins can accumulate enough food, even if we are lucky.” Blair, from another angle, disputed Gorte's idea.

Isaiah also supports this: “I spoke to Captain Abagon of the Flower Shop, who said that it was indeed becoming increasingly difficult to buy food and could not be expected to sell it to us at an affordable price, just like the lords of Coral Island. ”

It was rebutted by two government officials.

Gorte was in a bit of a mood, but he nodded: "Then use a thousand gold coins as a budget to store food. This is the end of the topic, and we will move on to the next topic, allocation of funds among industries. ”

……

The Small Town Administration is meeting.

There is also a small meeting in the castle, besides Carter Butler, Mrs Morson, Mrs Abby, as well as Chris Truth, Abagon, Charlotte and other business captains.

Carter began by saying, "Hon. Chris is busy, so let's start with a quick word about the purchase of magic books. The money the master paid for the purchase was a thousand gold coins, of which 400 were for the purchase of knight novels and 600 for the purchase of magic books. Dealing primarily with Mr. Elkson requires the presidency of His Excellency Chris. ”

Chris's temperament was incompatible with the servants, and she just sat around and said softly: “Mr. Carter, Lord Viscount told me that when Lord Elkson came to town to trade, just let me know and I will complete the quote for every magic book. ”

“This is the best. ”

“Well, if nothing happens, I'll leave first. ”

On her way back, she looked a little tranced.

The mind is a little confused: “I feel like I have recently touched a cognitive barrier, as documented in The Theory of Interaction between Three State Magic Arrays and Reality, which is a sign of excessive movement from static to dynamic magic arrays, unfortunately my accumulation is still weak and requires more magical reference. ”

She remembered yesterday when Lister came to pick up the potion.

Say to yourself: "Chris, I don't have the money to build a magic tower for you right now, but you can buy any magic book you want, and I'll ask Elkson to find an adequate solution for your reference. I hope you advance to the Great Magician soon. ”

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but breathe a little heavily: “Magician is too low value, I can't let Lester down. Only by promoting the Great Magician can I reward him for saving my life and smile on a weekday... I have dedicated my body and mind to the truth...”

Many Lister's voice smiles flashed through his mind.

She gradually showed her vision and her eyes were warm: “But I still want to see him smile everyday. ”

……

At sea.

Huge white shell open.

Archer held a trumpet horn and gently blew it. His face was slightly blurry. Mangrove Pokémon Nami held a peanut nougat and snapped.

At Nami's feet, the inky green seaweed swims in circles around it, and the gills at the back of his neck come together, very happy. The belly of a seaweed bug is like a creepy foot, and unlike the average elf foot, it's flatter, which allows it to swim quickly.

Soon.

Archer put away the trumpet horn, touched Nami, touched the sea belt bug again, took a deep breath: “Come on Nami, sea belt bug, let's go catch more elf bugs and give him a big surprise when Brother returns! ”

Lester certainly doesn't know. The little sea monster needs to surprise himself.

He has come to Coral City Harbor.

Once you have counted your Knights, board the Coral Island Fleet's flagship Tulip. As soon as all the knights, cavaliers, and supplies have boarded their ships, the vast fleet will set off from the Bibbo Sea and march again towards Iron Hoop Island.

Lester was busy locking Shakespeare and eight little ones in the cabin to prevent them from running around; the land bird Rocky was also locked in the cabin, with grains of wheat and soybeans, and enjoyed living in the cabin.

Subsequently.

As is customary.

All the nobles came to the Tulip to convene a conference chaired by the Count on the distribution of spoils.

Among them, the basic principles of war merit are the distribution of labor, much more labor, little labor and no labor. The basic principle of materiel is who gets it, but one third must be used for the Knights' War Death Benefit.

It also stipulates that the seized mineral resources are forbidden to be sold to mercenary groups and must be handed over to the Grand Duke for unified distribution - an annual pioneering order with the greatest aim of seizing minerals.

The distribution of spoils of war was clarified and the nobles separated and returned to their ships.

Lister suddenly came up with a question and asked the Count, "Father, are those mercenary groups trustworthy? ”

“From my years of experience in warfare, there is no need for distrust of trust, and some losses are affordable as long as they help us trade. ”

“If I were Lord of the Eagle Kingdom, I would never let the mercenary regiment develop. ”

“Huh.” The Count has finally found a sense of superiority, "Lester, you are still naive, whether it be the mercenary regiment of the Kingdom of the Eagle or the pirates of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, who exist for a reason. All in all, this is all about benefits being driven. ”
