"This land is planted with radishes. The yield of radishes is very high. The leaves and radishes can also be fed to pigs in winter. Well, someone has opened a pig farm in the suburbs of the city. Like those cows, I loaned them to breed pigs. , when there are more pigs in the future, those pigs born will belong to the breeders themselves."
A giant dragon and an elf spoke to each other rather ruthlessly as politicians. For them, although kindness is necessary, at a critical moment, even their own people can be used as numbers in war, as long as the benefits are sufficient. The people can be allowed to sacrifice, and whether it is Louis or the Elf Queen, they actually only need one thing, and that is - faith!
Louis sneered and made a 'please' gesture.
"...These radishes are also very nutritious and taste good if pickled. They can be used as a daily side dish for residents."
"This is indeed a good idea. Four thousand years ago, the Forest of Mu'en encountered a huge natural disaster. Many elves could no longer survive. At that time, I launched a war against humans to resolve the crisis. The transfer allowed the elves to survive.”
"... That's a pasture for cows. Let's go take a look."
People in the Saint-Sauron world use fried salt instead of sun-dried salt. This technology is not good at first glance. If it weren’t for the fact that the territory that the Dragon City can now radiate is not as large as the seaside, it is estimated that Louis can produce his own salt, and it can be used in an instant. Salt becomes worthless.
"Only when the people are rich, will my territory become stronger and stronger, becoming the most fascinating place on the main material plane, attracting more talents to join me. This is called hiding wealth among the people."
Louis and the Elf Queen approached the edge of the pasture, where the cow breeders were milking milk diligently.
Seeing a male elf with the same moonlight-colored hair and an extremely enchanting appearance reaching out to him, Her Majesty the Queen was not reserved, and the green and delicate jade hand fell into Louis' palm, and was captured by him. With a gentle pull, Her Majesty the Queen's naked feet landed on the edge of the car, and she and Louis entered the luxurious car.
"As for the excessive issuance of banknotes, as long as it is within a certain range, there is no problem. What is the most important thing for a country and territory? Then the credibility of the government. As long as the people of Dragon City believe in me, the lord, they believe that I can always be here. If it continues to rule, there will be no problems, and if there is a crisis that is difficult to solve, thanks to the racial diversity of the world of Saint Solon, the City of Dragons can launch a war to transfer the crisis to other countries. country and race.”
Louis continued to take the Elf Queen to tour his city. In addition to showing Her Majesty the Queen her unique changes that are closely related to the civilization of the earth, it was also a patrol conducted by Louis in his own territory.
As Her Majesty the Queen said this, she thought of the elves. The Silver Moon Kingdom does not produce salt. Although the elves' demand for salt is much lower than that of orcs and humans, they still need to import a large amount of it every year to produce elven arts and handicrafts. , the specialties of Muen Forest in exchange for salt from other countries, it has to be said that the basic livelihood of the elves is really not very good.
Anyway, he is currently transforming the power of faith and accumulating the last of his divine power. If he is idle, he is idle. He might as well distance himself from Her Majesty the Queen and try to gain a good impression of her.
"Pickling? That requires salt, but salt is expensive and ordinary residents cannot afford it."
After hearing this, Louis just shook his head and chuckled:
The elves are relatively peace-loving, but that is only relative. A true pacifist will never survive in the world of Saint Sauron. Even the paladin of the Goddess of Dawn will not talk about benevolence, justice and morality when facing evil.
Let the Elf Queen see the Dragon City and its potential for future development, so that she can gain more advantages in future cooperation.
They can only graze in their own pastures. Just like those farmers, the taxes of these herdsmen are not high. Except for a small amount of live cattle and sheep, what they need to pay is my original banknotes, which also allows them to pay for cattle and sheep. When mature, they are slaughtered and sold so that money can flow in the market. "
But I think as the dairy herd expands and as the residents of Dragon City become richer, even ordinary residents will be able to drink fresh and delicious milk occasionally. "
The Elf Queen said in agreement.
"There are not many cows now. Milk is a luxury product. It has always been enjoyed by the nobility and royal family. Only those people have spare money and time to raise cows in the manor. They do not use it for commercial circulation, but use it for themselves. enjoyment.
Louis smiled cruelly. War diverting domestic conflicts has always been a frequently used tactic. Just like the Earth's World War II was actually caused by the economic crisis, and Louis, as a dragon in the world of Saint-Saurol, didn't even need an excuse. Yes, as long as the army of Dragon City is strong enough, it can attack any human, orc, or even other races, seize wealth through plunder, and divert possible crises in the territory.
"The Dragon City is not only strategically located, but the land here is also fertile. Even the grassland leading to the west is very suitable for grazing. Look, unlike the nomadic orcs, I contracted out these grasslands and turned them into pastures. Every herdsman has his own pasture.
The Elf Queen seemed to understand, but nodded as if she didn't understand. She pondered for a moment before saying: "... You really have business talent and have an unusual interpretation of wealth. If I hadn't known that you have the intention to become the Dragon God, , I thought you would become the God of Wealth, but the method of printing banknotes is good, but there are also disadvantages to doing so. If too many banknotes are printed, it can easily cause price collapse."
"These cows belong to me. I loaned them to them, and the cows they give birth to will belong to these people. They just need to pay me back the cows I loaned them, although this may take several years." , but for the giant dragon, a few years of hard work is completely worth the wait."
Fortunately, the Forest of Mu'en is vast enough and rich in products. The fertility rate of elves also determines that the population will not skyrocket. Otherwise, the elves would probably have become extinct long ago based on their habits.
Her Majesty the Queen happily agreed. She raised her hand to summon her Unicorn Car. Although Louis was a giant dragon, he climbed on the frame first, like a gentleman from an ancient aristocracy, extending his arms to Her Majesty the Queen. hand.
And my goal is to hope that one day in the future, all countries and forces in the entire main material plane will be willing to reserve banknotes from the Dragon City to replace the gold coins of the Subilon Empire. "
Today, Louis has become deeper and deeper with the elves. It is almost impossible to completely separate. The distance and geographical location between the Dragon City and the Forest of Moon also determine the geopolitics of the two. Otherwise, they will be completely separated. Either become life-and-death enemies, or they must cooperate carefully and work together to overcome the difficulties. There is no third way between the two.
"Salt is actually not expensive. In addition to technical limitations, there are also a few salt-producing Chinese who artificially control the output, which creates the illusion that salt is expensive."
"Are you talking about inflation? I have always been careful about this. Every price of the banknotes I print is backed by enough gold coins from the Subiron Empire. Any businessman who comes to my city can If you want to conduct transactions, you must exchange the gold coins of the Subilon Empire for banknotes. In any case, the current Empire gold coins are still the most trustworthy.
"Just in time, Your Majesty, please come and watch an interesting play with me. Those businessmen think that the City of Dragons does not produce salt and want to sell it here at a high price. Your Majesty, please come with me and see those people. How did you go bankrupt?"
"It's hard to sell this milk now. Only some wealthy businessmen from other countries will choose to drink some when they come to the Dragon City. I usually buy it at the right price, not like the manor in other countries. Lord, let them just be milkers."
Groups of cattle and sheep grazed on the vast grassland outside the Dragon City, a patch of green grass and blue sky.
Louis pointed to a field of radishes and said to Her Majesty the Queen. At this time, it happened to be the time when the radishes were ripe, and many farmers could be seen pulling radishes in the field.
