Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 302 Build the Mage Tower Again (2)
Building a mage tower requires more than 300,000 in magic materials. Christine rejected the advice of the Goddess of Wealth Church, so can she afford the money? There is really no pressure for him.
Maritime merchants on the entire Western Avenue must stop at Dominaria Port and Carona Port as long as they pass through the Bay of Biscay. The berthing fee for a ship per day is one gold coin. This income alone can amount to tens of thousands of gold coins a year.
Merchants, sailors, mercenaries, and tourists on the ship must go to the port to spend money when they dock. Taverns, hotels, casinos, and brothels all have to pay taxes, which are tens of thousands of gold coins this year.
The Port of Dominaria is as famous a commercial center as the Western Continent and the Port of Rotterdam. The goods traded here are also taxed, and this year the revenue is nearly 100,000 gold coins.
The territory's prosperous handicraft industry brought huge profits. One-third of the goods of the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Iberia come from the Stewart Territory, and one-third of the weapons and armor come from the Stewart Territory. How much money do they get this year?
Christine controls three of the four major high-end wine producing areas in mainland China. Although it can only be controlled for three years, the profit from a bottle of high-end wine is extremely high.
Christine has her own high-end jewelry and clothing brand, and makes money from aristocratic ladies and ladies.
Savannah has a lot of information related to the ancient Netheril Magic Empire. She can just take out some low-end ones and find a few elven artists to modify them, and they can sell them like crazy.
As for the hundreds of thousands of gold coins he earned from selling some scattered grain to other nobles before, it doesn't count. After all, it has been invested in the construction of the demiplane.
After so long in the making, the demiplane is now starting to pay dividends for Christine. Speaking of armor and weapons alone, the territory's blacksmith workshop does not have that much production capacity. In fact, a small part of it is produced in the demiplane.
The iron ingots are transported in from outside, processed by the golem, and then mixed into the finished products of the blacksmith workshop for sale without anyone noticing. Because there is a Mithron core to charge the golem, there is no other cost except the cost of the iron ingot.
She could sell the same weapons cheaper than others, but with a higher profit. Since she could sell them cheaply and ensure supply, the king naturally gave her one-third of the order for the Royal Army.
This does not include other taxes such as food from Christian territory. In other words, even if she does not collect taxes from ordinary people, her annual income is much more than that of those marquises in the field.
Finally, I still have to mention that the Viscount of Cantabria still owes Christine 150,000 gold coins.
Although Christine was still a baron a few years ago, the family did not accumulate much wealth, but as the territory expanded, the income increased, and the family's wealth was no worse than that of the old marquis. Besides, a demonic disaster caused heavy losses to most of the nobles on the continent. The increase and decrease in her wealth were reflected in this.
Some noble territories on the mainland are not in a good location and have average products, but they are very wealthy. This is because there are gold mines, silver mines, iron mines, and even magic metal mines in their territories.
Christine now owns three counties, and there must be gold mines. After the gold is mined, a large part of it is minted into gold coins.
Each kingdom and principality in the mainland has its own currency, and there is a set of exchange methods based on different sizes and weights. I won’t go into details here.
But what is recognized by all countries, and the ones with the highest single value, are the gold, silver, and copper coins cast by the Church of the Goddess of Wealth. This is also the standard for how much gold and silver coins are worth.
Nobles above the baron level could mint currency and have their own faces printed on it, but almost no one did this because it was a loss-making business.
Minting currency requires expenses and will cause losses, but no one will recognize the currency in your own territory when it is taken to the next door. What's the use except for your own entertainment?
But Christine is different. She owns the territory of three counties, which is more than most principalities. She is fully qualified to mint her own currency.
However, her current strength is limited, so she casts gold coins first. The size and weight are completely in accordance with the standards of the Goddess of Wealth Church, with her profile picture printed on the front and a tulip printed on the back.
Of course, just the gold produced by the gold mines is not enough. The gold obtained through trade is used to mint coins. Because the demiplane golem does this work, the loss is very small.
These gold coins were called "golden tulips" and were used to pay various expenses, reward subordinates, etc., and soon began to circulate in the territory.
Even foreign businessmen don't mind if the other party uses "golden tulips" to pay for transactions. After all, these are real gold coins, and they can buy what they want in Stewart.
This is not a whim of Christine's vanity, but to spread her reputation more widely. As the "golden tulip" is carried around by merchants, her name will also be spread.
Although it was just the beginning, she was not in a hurry. The so-called plan for a rainy day is nothing more than that.
The preliminary preparations for the Master's Tower began as early as after the new Earl of Nantes formally signed the surrender agreement, and the first tower was built in the city of Nantes.
Stewart has a professional construction team, which has built nearly ten high-level mage towers starting from Dominaria City. There is no one more professional than them on the mainland. In addition, there are a large number of slaves to carry out the work. Basic work such as quarrying, excavation, and transportation.
Christine, Alicia, Carlotani, and Monica took turns hosting it, and there were also a group of low-level mages running around underneath, so the project progressed very quickly.
The mage towers led by Stewart all belong to Christine, and the tower spirits are also awakened by her. Others can operate the mage towers according to their identities and permissions, but if they behave inappropriately, they will be stopped immediately, which avoids the trouble of South Korea. Incidents such as the bombing of the Techeng Mage Tower.
And because it uses technology from the ancient Netheril Magic Empire, Christine can remotely control other mage towers in any mage tower in the territory.
Of course, this control does not require her to operate anything. She can just give orders directly to the tower spirit.
More importantly, with so many mage towers in conjunction with the portable communication array, Christine can ensure that her orders are spread to all villages and towns in the entire territory within two hours. Vice versa, any urgent news can be reported to her within two hours.
Currently, the only people who can do this are the popes of major churches. They can use the divine power network to spread their words to every temple, but only to temples that believe in their own gods.
