Gold is Justice

As he spoke, Arrow stood up and walked over to Norris, smiling and holding out his hand.

And Viscount Norris looked at the small, even thin mermaid president, and after thinking for a moment, he finally nodded, stood up as well, and stretched out his hand with a smile.

"Then, let's put aside the conflict between us. I wish us a happy cooperation, President Song of the Mermaid."

With a snap, the hands of both sides were tightly held together.

----

Economic warfare can basically be regarded as a conspiracy.

There is no need to hide the enemy specifically, and it is even possible to put all the progress on the bright side.

Just like the economic war this time, even if Earl Garp stated openly that this was to suppress the economy of Pelican Town, under the high price, there would still be a steady stream of people abandoning agriculture and turning to ironware to sell.

Human beings, as a recognized powerful race on this continent, this race with super learning ability and solidarity and cooperation ability also have a major weakness that tends to ignore long-term goals and only focus on immediate interests.

Therefore, Earl Garp should not be worried about his plan being leaked at all.As Pelican Town with a single source of income, this kind of human weakness may be avoided by one or two people, but it is absolutely impossible for most people to avoid it.

That's why Arrow had to join forces with Viscount Norris instead of directly explaining the situation to Mayor Round Cheese.

So, how to fight back?

For a small town like Pelican Town, which only exports agricultural raw materials, the most convenient way to get rid of this powerful source of income is to sell a large amount of ironware while at the same time controlling the internal resources of the town. food storage problem.

"Extraordinary, extra! Xiehu City requires a large amount of agricultural products from our town! The price is not low compared to ironware! Exiled and extra! Xiehu City also implements iron control and no longer sells it to the outside world!"

Before Arrow and the viscount had settled, and before they even had time to return to Pelican Town, the news had already spread throughout Pelican Town.

And hearing the news that Lagoon City wanted to purchase a large amount of agricultural products, the townspeople in Pelican Town who were crazy about purchasing ironware gradually calmed down.In order to earn more money, the townspeople who originally rushed to Xihu City to buy ironware and then returned to sell it began to pick up hoes and go to the ground again.

Although the current planting season is not very good, it is still in time for a round of autumn harvest. The economic value of planting some is not very high, but things like potatoes that can fully fill the stomach can still store a considerable amount of food. .

Chapter 260 Decoration

Of course, the military purchaser of iron products did not just disappear.They are still working hard to acquire ironware in three small towns.

Surprisingly, their business did not come to a standstill.Because after those townspeople stopped selling ironware, a large number of sellers from Lagoon City began to sell ironware.This rapid dumping behavior quickly depleted the reserves in the hands of these arms purchasers, causing them to leave temporarily, wanting to go back and adjust the money before coming back.

Under this kind of large-scale dumping, of course, Xihu City got a lot of money for selling ironware.With a strong injection of funds, Viscount Norris will naturally have more money to maintain the stability of the entire city.After a period of suppression, those protesters who were very violent at the beginning naturally began to disappear.

Protesters who work with money will naturally have to dormant again because of the disconnection of the capital chain.As for how to deal with these people who have re-identified, that is the matter of Viscount Norris.

In the early morning of early summer, the whole land has not yet fully warmed up.

There was a sweet fragrance in the air, the smell of sunshine and money.

After sleeping until she woke up naturally in the morning, Ariel stretched lazily after opening her eyes, allowing her spirit to fully recover.

She happily got out of bed and made her own bed.He picked up a comb in front of the mirror and combed his tangled hair from sleeping.

Everything is good in such a small country place, but it is a bit troublesome to take care of hair.

After finally combing my hair, I curled it up and tied it on my head, and then put on my hat.

Looking at the handsome boy in the mirror, Airl felt that his spirit had become a little more energetic.

Immediately, he tied the bandage on his chest so that his figure would not look too strange, and then put on his juvenile linen clothes and coarse trousers.

After tidying up everything, he came to the window and opened the curtain with a bang, letting the sunlight from outside pour into his room as much as he wanted, as if he could dispel all the darkness in an instant, and bathe himself in the sunlight.

The early morning in Pelican Town is really refreshing.

It's just that with the arrival of summer, my room facing south should be getting hotter and hotter... Well, maybe I should find a chance to see if I should build a cool place inside the guild.

Arranging his clothes and hat in front of the mirror again, Airl walked out of the room confidently and came to the guild hall.

The guild members are also getting up one after another now, accepting tasks on the bulletin board, and going out after breakfast.After the breakfast time, the old lumberjack brought his apprentices to the guild and started to work.

"Father Lumberjack, how is the decoration going?"

Airl looked at his guild hall, which was already full of scaffolding and piled up with building materials, which seemed a bit messy, and asked with some dissatisfaction.

The old lumberjack seemed very imposing. While directing his apprentices and hired workers to work, he said: "I said before, if your guild is willing to close for ten days and half a month, or if you all go out to live for a month If so, I can finish it soon. But you insist on continuing to hold the labor meeting when we start the renovation, do you know how much time will be lost? Especially at night, when you are near Song of the Mermaid No one else, we could have started working at night. But you guys have to sleep! I can only stop working at night! Do you know how much time it will waste!"

Nonsense, don’t you need money to live outside?The spare rooms in the entire Pelican Town have been renovated due to the guild war. How much would it cost if he brought all his members to live out now?You help pay?

Besides, anyway, the Honey Pot Guild has been defeated now, and my own guild doesn't care how much time it takes to renovate.In this way, it’s okay to renovate while working. Anyway, if you finish the decoration early, you won’t charge less for your own decoration fee.

Airl curled his lips, put on a smiling face, and said: "We also have a lot of troubles here. What if Pelican Town needs a guild like Song of the Mermaid to come forward when we are closed? Yes. Bar."

Seeing Airl's smiling expression, the lumberjack father snorted heavily.He then waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I don't bother with you. Anyway, you are the only one who is doing decoration during this period of time. We are also idle when we are idle. Let's teach my apprentices." .By the way, we just finished the plumbing work of your guild yesterday, do you want to take a look?"

Airl nodded, now that there are not many accounts, he is also happy to visit the decoration of his guild.

Saying that, the lumberjack dad took Airl to the back where it was originally called the warehouse.It has been divided into many areas before, but now it looks more regular, and the walls on both sides of the aisle have been painted.

"Hey, this is the plumbing project. I've wanted to do a plumbing project like this for a long time, but our small town doesn't have this kind of collective dormitory. Now I just use your side to practice. I hope you like it. Of course , if you don't like it, it's okay, because I like it very much."

Under the leadership of this domineering lumberjack dad, Arrow walked to a room with a "bathroom" hanging on it.Push open the door, and the male and female passages are separated inside. Walk along the male passage, and there is a dressing room inside, and then there is a row of five washroom cubicles, each with a well-used door panel. blocked up.

"The shape of the women's bathroom is the same as that of the men's bathroom. I have seen this type of watering bathroom in the capital before, but I have never had the opportunity to try it. Now your bathroom is specially built by me."

Daddy Lumberjack pointed to the wall and said—

"The water pipes are all buried in the wall, and the water is all drawn from the hidden lake on the west side of our town, which is connected to the water pipes of our town. To heat it, you only need to turn on the water gate switch located outside, and then there is a A fireplace, if you burn a fire in it, you can take a hot bath. This way of bathing should be more convenient than taking a bath, and it will save fuel and water.”

As the lumberjack father said, Arrow admired the structure of the bathroom and seemed very satisfied!

Especially in this kind of fully enclosed room, if I want to take a bath in the future, I only need to lock the door of the entire bathroom, so that no one can notice me, right?This is much more convenient than taking the members out every time to complete the task and then rushing to boil water to take a bath, and then pouring out the water after rushing to wash!

"This design is really good! Father Lumberjack, thank you very much."

The woodcutter folded his arms and snorted: "It seems that you are satisfied, that's fine! If you dare to say something that you are not satisfied with, I will definitely ignore you! Similarly, I also made a room for you next door. The structure of the laundry room is similar to that of this place. It will be much more convenient for you to wash your clothes, and you can also use hot water to wash your clothes in winter."

With that said, the lumberjack took Airl out of the bathroom, and said as he walked: "Besides, I also saw that you have a basement. The environment of this basement is good, and it can be used as a cold room. This winter You can pile up a little more snow and ice in it to make an ice cellar. In this way, you can provide a steady source of ice next summer. There is an ice cellar under the Unicorn Bar in the whole town, but his one is not as good as yours Bian Da, after I finish it, if it goes well, it should be able to provide the source of ice for our entire town in summer."

Having said that, the old lumberjack stopped suddenly, turned his head and stared at Airl.

Ai Luo understood what the old man meant, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Don't worry, don't worry! I won't do black-hearted business! Anyway, I don't need to take care of the stored ice cubes. If you are willing to If you dig ice cubes yourself and store them here, then I can provide the same amount of ice cubes for free in summer.”

"Well, you kid is really kind. Much better than those unscrupulous businessmen."

After seeing Airl's statement, the woodcutter nodded, took Airl up to the second floor, walked to the door of Brad's room, and knocked on the door.

"We're coming in, anyone?"

Along with the calls of Papa Lumberjack and Ai Luo, Buffy's voice came from inside: "Ah, President and Papa Lumberjack? Come in."

Airl pushed open the door, and what he saw was a room so simple that there was almost no decoration.

The huge bed was completely made of logs, and there were some weapons and Brad's clothes on the cabinets around it. It really looked no different from an ordinary farmer's room.

However, in a corner of this room, there is a... tree?

Arrow walked over to look and realized that it was just carved out of wood and painted to look like trees.However, this fake tree is very exquisitely made, and there are swings hanging on the small trunk.A tree branch extends out and spirals into a platform, on which there are tables and chairs that seem to be used for small dolls.There seems to be a small room in the tree trunk, and through the window on the tree trunk, you can see that everything inside is really exquisite.

"President, old lumberjack, are you here? Welcome!"

Airl was taken aback for a moment, only to see that a piece of bark on the tree trunk was opened, and it turned out to be a door.And Buffy came out from there, flew to the small platform, sat down on the chair, and opened his hands with a smile: "Come to visit my new home? I really appreciate the woodcutter, and I also thank Arrow The president can help me make such a hut~~~!"

Chapter 260 Two Unexpected Letters

Seeing that Buffy likes it so much now, Ai Luo smiled and said, "Father lumberjack, if you make another one of your craft and sell it in a big city, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

The old lumberjack rubbed his neck and snorted, "If it wasn't for that stupid big man begging me for nothing, I wouldn't be bothered to make this kind of thing. It looks like a child's toy, It's exhausting. Hey, Flower Fairy, you have to thank that big man!"

When Buffy was blushing and smiling proudly at the same time, the lumberjack turned his head and looked at Airl directly: "President Airl, I let you see this is not purely for show off, that idiot The big guy seemed to be only begging me, and didn't talk about money. So you paid the money for me? Or should I ask the big guy for it?"

At that moment, the smile on Airl's face froze instantly.He hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously, "That...about how much is it? This thing."

The old lumberjack was not polite at all: "You also said just now that this thing can be sold at a good price in big cities. So I think, at least this amount." Then, the old lumberjack made a gesture number.

Seeing this number, Ai Luo knew that if the money was really completely paid by that stupid big man, it might not be enough to throw all the money he earned during this period of time...

After hesitating for a while, thinking about how loyal that stupid big man is to himself, he sighed and whispered to the old woodcutter: "Well, I will pay [-]% and the last [-]% you can ask that guy to go .”

The old lumberjack was a little strange: "You are very strange, or you have to sell all of them, and what do you mean by leaving [-]%? Are you short of such a small amount of money?"

Ai Luo smiled and said: "It's not that there is such a small amount of money, but to let that stupid man know that he spent money for the girl. People don't know how to cherish things that are too easy to get. Ask him for a symbolic amount." Ask for a little, let him realize it too. Of course, don't say that I paid [-]% of it."

As long as there is money to take, the lumberjack father naturally has no objection, and he said very straightforwardly: "Okay! You are such a good president. Since you are so straightforward, then the room of the necromancer and the assassin, we also Go and see."

Hearing this, Airl suddenly had an ominous premonition.He froze on the spot, looking nervously at the woodcutter: "Could it be?"

The old lumberjack was very straightforward: "That's right, they probably thought that the decoration money had already been paid, so they asked for a lot. President Arrow, you see that the money is also based on this kind of you nine, they One way to distribute it?"

This is the first time since the establishment of the guild, and Airl suddenly has the feeling of wanting to deduct the wages of his employees.No wonder there are so many people in this world who want to be a profiteer boss!

"President Airl, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable? Do you want to smell the fragrance of my flowers?"

Seeing that her president's complexion was not very good, Bafi naturally flew over from her home, as if she wanted to let Airl smell her own pollen.

In this regard, Airl could only slap his swollen face to pretend to be fat, and smiled slightly, saying that it didn't matter.But at this moment, he suddenly realized that the current Buffy was a little different from the past.

Now Buffy is wearing an emerald green headband on her head. The headband seems to be made of some tiny rattan, which matches her slightly pink hair very well.At the same time, the flower fairy's arms, waist, and thighs were decorated with emerald green branches and leaves.The reason why it is called decoration is because these branches and leaves do not show much defensiveness, they just cover her body in a simple geometric twisted way, forming a feather-like shape.Judging from Buffy's current actions, these branches and leaves did not hinder her actions.

"Buffy? Could it be that iron fruit?"

Airl asked.

Buffy looked down at an emerald green bracelet on her wrist, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, President~~~! Finally, that iron fruit seems to agree with me! It was also last night, it It suddenly became like this and attached to me. Brad and I have also tested it, and it can indeed activate a forest magic, which seems to be quite strong!"

Seeing that her flower fairy can become stronger now, Ai Luo is also very happy: "Okay, what kind of magic?"

But at this point, Buffy put her hands on her hips and said proudly: "Well~~~ President, just wait and see the show! We will definitely give you a surprise!"

It's a pity, Arrow doesn't like surprises.If you can't understand what new abilities your members have in time, this may make a fatal mistake for your own tactical layout.

But seeing how happy the flower fairy is now, Ai Luo couldn't force her to ask.Then we have to wait until Brad comes back tonight, and then ask these two guys what kind of power they have.

The lumberjack dad took Airl to visit Coco and Cream's room again. I have to say that these two guys are really talented in spending their president's money!After agreeing to furnish the two rooms with a strong sense of heartache, Arrow had to send the old lumberjack off to work.

He went back to his room, looked at the room of President Mermaid Song, looked at how poor it was, looked at this dilapidated room that could not even be compared to that little girl named Ke Ke.Is this the chairman's room?Compared to those members' rooms, this is a room where prisoners are abused!

Huh... calm down, calm down!President, you must be magnanimous, magnanimous.

It took a while for Airl to calm down a little.

He walked back to the guild hall, rubbed his head, and simply sat on the chair in the rest area, thinking about using work to make himself forget about those troublesome things.
