Gold is Justice

do not know.

Maybe 1 minute?Maybe 10 minutes?Maybe up to an entire hour?

Finally, the screams upstairs disappeared.After a while, Margot was still the same as before, with a smile on her face, and slowly walked down the stairs.

She took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, smiled at the soldiers here, and said, "Brothers, our work is done, let's go. They don't look like they have had dinner yet, so let's not disturb them from enjoying the game." It's a fun family dinner."

Now that Margaux finished the work, the soldiers let go of their hands one after another, leaving the middle-aged couple and servants lying limp on the ground.

It wasn't until Margaux left that the middle-aged couple seemed to have recovered from the panic just now and rushed to the second floor.But what came into view was a scene so miserable that it was hard to look directly at it.

The oil lamp shines, ignites.

Under this faint light, the little girl is now lying on the floor, with a glazed expression, her face contorted, and only a little instinctive twitch seems to be still telling others that she is still alive.

The best novels are all on Lanwen.com: LANWENS.COM

But her lower body was covered with blood, and almost the entire floor of the second floor was stained red by these red liquids, which looked extremely terrifying!

And the scariest thing is in the center of this ball of blood.

There, there was a lump of flesh with a little human shape.

Now, the piece of meat is still on the floor, slowly rising and falling in the pool of blood.

But it was only for a short while, and soon, the ups and downs that symbolized the last moment of life disappeared...

Everything was once again plunged into darkness.

——1302年4月17日，旅费：-6铜3铁，礼物：-50金，结余：428金4银5铜2铁——

Obviously, it is broad daylight now.

Obviously, what I heard now is a story about a person who has a strong affinity for the light element and is using the power of light.

Obviously, all of this was just heard, not witnessed.

But why...

However, Airl could feel his body shivering intermittently, so cold that he couldn't help shivering?

"That woman... thanks to her being an affinity for the light element..."

Cream gritted his teeth and swung his fist in the air.

Brad also nodded slightly, and said: "President, tell me, why is this? Why does such a cruel woman have the affinity of the light element like Uncle San Cake? The power of light is so bright. It is so gentle and warm when it is used by Uncle San Cake..."

When it comes to Uncle St. Biscuit, Coco's complexion is also a little bad.The little girl rubbed her eyes, and said indignantly: "Magic element, who is close to who and who is not friendly, is really too much. A kiln sister, a person who kills people with open mouth and shut mouth, and a person who wants to serve the nobles A woman who does not hesitate to kneel and lick nobles, and even hurts others...how can she have such a strong affinity with the light element? That woman is not qualified to be compared with Uncle Santa Biscuit...absolutely not."

Even Buffy can't help but get into Brad's pocket now, holding the iron fruit and tremblingly said: "Especially, she is laughing! The whole process, she is laughing! I can hardly accept her." Smile... Her smile is horrible! Scary!"

It can be regarded as comforting these members, but Airl laughed at this time, and said slowly: "Actually, this is a good thing. This at least fully proves the affinity of the magic elements and the users themselves. personality has nothing to do with it.”

Ai Luo stretched out his hand, gently stroked Coco's head, and said with a smile: "So, in this world, there can be necromancers who are as cute as our little Coco, and there are also necromancers who are extremely evil and rely on their beauty and strength. A user of light magic who does evil by magic."

Feeling Ai Luo's touch, the annoyed look on Ke Ke's face gradually turned into a smile.Thinking about it again, it was right to think so. Although the members were still a little bit aggrieved, they more or less stopped discussing the matter of Margaux, turned their heads and concentrated on walking on the way back.

But just walking is indeed quite boring. Along the way, everyone kept chatting and discussing the delicious and fun things in Tianhe City.It didn't take long for these guys to completely forget about that woman.Especially when Coco happily ran to his undead soldier and asked him to open several shopping bags that he had been carrying in his hand and take out the clothes inside, this joyous atmosphere was particularly obvious.

Sunrise, sunset.

In just two days, everyone has already walked out of Tianhe City's sphere of influence.

During this period of time, he didn't encounter the killer sent by Tianhe City, and Ai Luo was able to relax completely.

"President, there is one thing I don't quite understand."

Cream folded his arms, walked all the way and said——

"Before I saw that you were restless and thinking about leaving Tianhe City as soon as possible, I was not easy to ask, but now I want to take a closer look."

Arrow smiled, waiting for the assassin's question.

Seeing that Airl didn't show any impatient expression, Cream took a deep breath and continued, "Why did you think that Earl Garp would definitely help us from the beginning? After all, they are also nobles. Between nobles and nobles... Ah, of course I know that there will be party disputes among those high-ranking officials, and there will also be conflicts. But why do you come here so confidently? What if the little liquor boss The source of the information is wrong, although Earl Garp and Viscount Norris are at odds, but he is not to the extent that he wants to directly engage him, what should we do?"

Chapter 240 VI

Hearing Cream's question, the other members stopped chatting and turned to look at Airl.

Airl smiled, and walked with his hands behind his back, thinking.After sorting out a clue for a while, he said slowly——

"That's a very interesting question. Why am I so sure that there will be conflicts between them, so I am so confident to ask Earl Garp? Haha, actually from the very beginning, I feel that even if there is no relationship between them This time, Earl Garp will definitely stand by our side."

Cream frowned: "Why? If there is no competition between their war-oriented faction and the peace-oriented faction, wouldn't our efforts be in vain this time?"

Arrow shook his head slightly, and began to say—

"Cream, even Brad, Buffy, Coco. Let me ask you, under what circumstances would a person with a lot of wealth have to do anything to kill someone who seemed to be doing nothing to hinder him?"

The four members thought for a while and shook their heads.

"When a person blocks his own way of making money, even if this person has no intention of being an enemy of himself from the beginning, then I, as a person with a lot of money, will want to destroy this guy immediately."

Seeing that these members were still confused, Airl began to explain in detail——

"I was thinking about this question after we got the news from the little spirits boss before. When I actually arrived in Tianhe City, I was even more convinced that my guess was correct."

"We all know that Tianhe City's specialty is animal husbandry, and the meat of a kind of giant-toothed pig can be said to be the top specialty here."

"I am afraid that this kind of special product can bring a lot of income to Tianhe City. Even if it can't account for 20.00% of the total revenue, it should still have [-]%."

"However, you have all seen it. Due to Tianhe City's natural geographical location, the breeding industry can only be expanded to such a large size at most, which means that the production of this giant tooth pig is fixed at that much every year. It’s impossible to get more.”

"If that Count Garp wants to continue to make money, or even make more money, then there are only two methods available."

"One, expand your own sales channels and bring more customers into your basic market."

"Second, it is to increase the scale of breeding and produce more giant-toothed pigs to meet the market."

"Let's look at the first method first, to broaden the market."

"This one is actually not complicated. It is a very basic method to increase the influence by advertising more and letting the upper class eat their own giant tooth pork. Although the production of giant tooth pigs is limited, it cannot satisfy everyone. Of course , from an economic point of view, this is not a big problem. Since the output is scarce, it is natural to increase the price to generate income. This is a good thing for many commercial guilds with local specialties or special products A way to increase revenue without expanding production.”

"However, when this specialty product becomes pork, the situation of unilaterally raising prices to gain profits becomes somewhat complicated."

"Although the Giant Tooth Pork in Tianhe City has enough characteristics, unique aroma and taste, for the entire Blue Bay Empire, no matter how special this product is, it is just a kind of 'pork'."

"If the price of this kind of pork with special flavor is within their own affordable range, then people may buy it and eat it. Especially when the nobles tasted these pork one after another to play a propaganda role, commoners also Will want to try it.”

"However, if the price goes up to a point where people don't think it's worth buying giant tooth pork, then people will naturally give up this kind of food."

"Anyway, this is just a kind of pork. Tianhe City is not the only one that raises pork in the entire Blue Bay Empire. Although Tianhe City's giant tooth pig tastes good, it is not the kind of irreplaceable pork. Products. Raising prices under such circumstances is tantamount to digging one’s own grave and handing over the hard-won market share.”

Seeing that these guys were all frowning and seemed to be thinking about it, Airo thought about it and said with a smile: "You should have eaten their unique pork dishes when you were shopping in Tianhe City, right? How do you feel? Is the price expensive?"

Ke Ke raised his hand suddenly, and said with bright eyes: "I have eaten! Brother President, we went to a restaurant and ordered a plate of pork pizza! The meat is really delicious, oh my god~~ ~!"

While talking, the little girl's saliva almost rolled down uncontrollably.

Brad on the side smiled and said, "It's delicious, and the price is not expensive. The four of us ate two pizzas, and it only cost eight copper coins."

Airl nodded and said, "Then, what if the price of this pizza is increased to five silver coins? How about one gold coin? Although you know this pork is delicious, will you still eat it?"

Brad and Cream pinched their lips, thought for a while, and frowned.Cream waved his hand and smiled, "Although the pizza tastes good, I don't know how to eat more than one silver coin. The price is really expensive."

Ai Luo smiled and said, "So, do you understand? Simply expanding the sales channels and increasing the amount of sales will not work at all. Because although the special products of Tianhe City are special, they have not reached the 'special and unique'. It can be replaced, and it belongs to the status of "necessities or semi-necessities". In this case, Earl Garp would naturally think of taking the second path, which is to increase production."

"But the second road also has limitations. Because the geographical structure of Tianhe City has determined that it is impossible for this city to give up more land for animal husbandry. But if the entire area around the city is reclaimed, Tianhe There are also large areas of mountainous land around the city, and reclamation is equivalent to completely rebuilding a city, and the money spent is definitely not a small amount."

"In this case, if you can borrow a ready-made administrative division with good management, it can still be within your own control, not too far away from your own city, and there is still a lot of land that can be used to expand the breeding industry. If it is a region, then even if the current manager of this land has no grievances against him at all, Earl Garp will definitely go up and use his brains."

"And this city, unfortunately, is the Lagoon City managed by that Viscount Norris."

When they got here, the members seemed to have finally connected the two nobles, each of them looked forward to it as if they were listening to some very interesting anecdotes, and continued to listen with great interest.

"I don't know whether Earl Garp has discussed and communicated with Viscount Norris. But even if there is, I am afraid that Viscount Norris will never agree to such a thing."

"Let's not mention the different parties that the two parties belong to. If we just talk about the relationship of interests, Viscount Norris will never allow Earl Garp to extend his hand into his territory."

"If Earl Garp is really allowed to move the giant tooth pig farm to his own territory, then even if the agreement signed by the two parties on the surface is very fair and the distribution of benefits is very reasonable, Viscount Norris will no longer be able to refuse Garp. The earl's request to send people to his territory. It can't stop the earl's request to "inspect" his territory twice in three days."

"For these nobles, their own territory is their own taboo. Everyone wishes to have more territories and more people. How can they allow other people to enter their territories casually? In addition, if There are too many times, and if Earl Garp starts to publicize the existence of the giant toothed pig, will the people in Lagoon City later have cognitive illusions? Thinking that Earl Garp is his real master, Also unknown."

"Because of this, there are naturally huge differences between Earl Garp and Viscount Norris because of interests. Both parties are in a state of blocking each other's money. This is exactly what I just said The answer to the question. In order to make more money, people with huge wealth don’t care whether they hurt other people’s interests. Later, the only purpose of bourgeois existence in this world is to continuously collect wealth, just like those villains Like a dragon, it holds a large amount of treasure, and then melts anyone who wants to covet his treasure with hot flames."

"That's why I can be sure that the conflict between these two nobles is absolutely irreconcilable. As long as Earl Garp wants to make more money, he will never let go of any opportunity to hurt Viscount Norris. As long as the status of Viscount Norris in the hearts of the people of Xihu City can be greatly reduced, then in order to maintain the stability of the people in the territory, the lord must make promises to the people. At this time, Earl Garp brought the business of the giant toothed pig before Come on, no matter what, it will always bring an extra income to Lagoon City. So at that time, I am not afraid that Viscount Norris will not sign this contract."

After Airl's explanation, everyone finally understood the relationship and problems.

Everyone bowed their heads and began to walk forward in silence.I don't know how long it took before Cream silently waved his fist——

"After all, it's all about money. In order to make money, these nobles don't care how many people died, and they don't care whether they cause pain to others. I really don't understand why they want so much money?! They The money is already doomed for them to never run out of in this life, so what’s the point of wanting more? It’s not all over after death.”

Chapter 240 The Death of a Farmer

Airl smiled and said: "Economic problems are always accompanied by the development of human beings. It is also a human nature to find ways to possess more wealth. To be honest, the relationship between countries Many things related to it are also due to economic issues. No matter in any war, plunder, massacre, or resistance that has developed in history, there are strong economic factors mixed in it.”

Ke Ke smiled and walked over to hook Ai Luo's hand, and said sweetly: "Brother President, you are really full of economics after graduating from economics~~~ Everything is economics, even wars The matter is also because of the economy? The problem of hatred between countries cannot be solved with small money~~~”

Ai Luo didn't refute it, anyway, it doesn't make any sense to win this little girl's argument, since she thinks so, let her continue to think so.

Holding the iron fruit in one hand, Buffy said helplessly: "You humans are really troubled by such weird things. I really can't understand your way of hurting others at will for money. Will you Boss, all these questions you learned in school?"

To be honest, Old Teng Shu really doesn't teach these things very much.

After all, no matter how open the old Tengshu Academy is, it is still a noble academy. How could there be such a book that fundamentally believes that nobles and rich people are scourges?

After much deliberation, it was still because my motivation for enrolling was impure.At the beginning, I thought that after entering economics, I would be able to think about how to make money before I joined, but after I actually entered the school, I found that there was a huge gap between what I learned and what I really wanted to learn!With this sense of gap and doubt, he did not think less during the period of schooling, constantly reflecting on his mistakes and whether the knowledge presented in the books was correct, and finally based on his own knowledge that was not considered long-term. It is only through my own life experience that I think of these.Of course, these ideas can only be said to the members of my own guild. If I say it in other places, such as the thesis defense meeting of Lao Tengshu College, I am afraid that I will immediately be given a name of deviant, and directly Get kicked out of school.

"Well... I'm not that smart to think of so many things. It's more or less the credit of the school."

While walking, Brad shook his head slightly. He pointed to a tree with a crooked neck in front of him and said, "President, I still can't understand your weird economic theories. But I just want to know, if If everything in this world can be explained by economic theory, then why does this kind of thing happen in the real world?"

Looking at Brad's finger, the members of Song of the Mermaid couldn't help being stunned.

On this side of the official road, which is not very wide, or even very good, a rope is hanging from a tree with a crooked neck.

And in the middle of the sheath formed by the ropes, there is a person hanging steadily.

One, already surrounded by flies, exuding a bit of a stench... dead body.
