Gold is Justice

Afterwards, she came to the safe, opened it, and looked at the gold coins slowly piling up inside, feeling dazzled for a moment.

Gold...is really a good thing...

Although I persuaded Ke Ke not to worry about the dumping, I said that I would handle it well.

But looking at such a glittering picture, Ariel couldn't help but imagine, if it was her, would she really be able to hold back the method of selling and earning such a large amount of money?

Hmm... I can't help it...

It must be unbearable.

After feeling the weakness in her heart once again, Ariel exhaled, closed the door of the safe with satisfaction, returned to the rest area with the account books and work records, sat down, and simply looked through them.

There is no doubt that dumping can generate a lot of wealth in a very short period of time.At the same time, it will also bring great economic disasters to the local people, resulting in a certain degree of economic depression.

So the question now is, should I deal with this matter?

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up out of money, right?Things don't end that easily.

Such a lovely gold, such a pretty color, to see them leave you is the greatest crime in the world!

But if you don't help...

Alas, forget it, let's think about it carefully, is there any way to make my conscience a little bit better without harming my money at the same time.

Well, to sum it up now, the dumped land doesn't have enough currency to pay right now.If you want to increase their prices and prevent their wealth from being plundered by foreign wealth, the first thing to do is to increase their local prices.

If you think about it carefully, it will take at least two to three months for those compradors to resell clothes and fabrics and collect enough money to return to the construction of the area.Among them, we must also consider those who do not bring the money back after making money, but go directly to other cities to operate.

Hmm... so all in all, the currency of the dumped place is still in a state of net outflow. If you want to reverse it... there are two ways.

The first method is to increase the output of the dumped goods.

Ariel wrote her own method on the paper, and then drew a horizontal line at the back as an extension.

If there is a large amount of goods output, then there will be a large amount of funds entering the dumped place, so as to stabilize the price by selling a large amount of output.

Think about it carefully, what are the goods produced in Lagoon City, Honglu Town and Kingfisher Town?

...is food.

In fact, the entire border province is generally a grain-producing area. Food is produced to support Tianhe City's breeding industry, and pork is raised for export.

But if it's food... haha, ha... Ke Ke, that little girl, bought all the food in other places except Tianhe City.There are still more than ten tons of grain piled up in the warehouses in the new urban area.In other words, the main output of the dumped place has been eaten by the mermaid song... How can the meat that has been eaten in the stomach be spit out?Even if her Ariel's conscience is magnified ten thousand times, it's impossible, right?

Well, the first path is currently unworkable.Then the second one.

The second method is to issue additional currency.

As long as the dumped land can be filled with a large amount of currency in a short period of time to stabilize prices, the local residents will recover their purchasing power and there will be no plundering.At least, this situation can be stabilized until those compradors come back.

But the problem is...

Issue additional currency?

The right to mint coins, but only the royal family of the Blue Bay Empire has the qualifications.Although I have the name of the mistress of the second prince of the Blue Bay Empire on my head, but a mistress can't issue currency casually, can she?Otherwise, before the currency is released, I will be finished first.

And another point is that the issuance of additional currency also requires raw materials.Even if you take care of everything yourself, where will the gold to mint new currency come from?Silver ore, iron ore, and copper ore, I don't have these minerals in my own hands.

Thinking about it this way, there seems to be no solution to the issue of additional currency.

…………Wait a moment.

currency?

The essence of currency is actually a commodity, right?

As long as the currency itself is regarded as a commodity, then the so-called transaction is essentially just a method of bartering, right?

So, why do people think that money is a commodity that can be exchanged for other things?

That's because the empire endorsed it!

Not because of the gold, but because the Blue Bay Empire believes that these gold coins can be used for trading, so ordinary people think that there is a country behind the gold coins as a guarantee, so that they can be used for transactions with confidence and boldness!

And to put it more clearly...

As long as there is enough credit, as long as other people believe that Song of the Mermaid can be a kind of endorsement, then even if Song of the Mermaid thinks that a stone on the side of the road can be traded, then there is no problem at all, right?

Thinking of this, Ariel suddenly felt that she seemed to understand something very "scary", but it also made her extremely "exciting".

It's just that this kind of thing is still in her mind, it's just a vague shadow, it hasn't taken shape yet.

Although she is trying hard to catch that shadow now, she always feels like something is missing, and she can't always grasp the key point.

But now, she doesn't think much about dumping. After all, to put it bluntly, border provinces are border provinces, and the prices here are not high. Let's continue to observe. If it's a riot, let's just leave it alone.

Thinking of this, Ariel patted her head to let her mind, which had been up for almost half a month, be a little more empty.Afterwards, she closed the account book and workbook, stretched, and walked back to her room.

But before returning to her room, she couldn't help but glanced in the direction of her factory.

Thinking of how the factory was constantly operating in darkness, a satisfied smile finally appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The first thousand and 170 chapters two return to peace

The development of Pelican City is progressing rapidly.

Spring is here, and in the blink of an eye, summer seems to have arrived.

Three months have passed since the Blood Race joined the Pelican City. In the hot mid-June, everything seems to be on track.

During this period of time, the textile factory of Song of the Mermaid was still working at full capacity, making clothes and cloth day and night.However, the shortage of raw materials began to fall into an extremely serious level in the second month.

This is not surprising, because almost all the raw materials for clothing in the entire border province have been looted by Song of the Mermaid.However, the relative isolation from other provinces prevented raw materials from outside coming in so quickly, so in the later stage, almost a batch of raw materials came in, and it was finished in half a day.Then the factory of Mermaid Song can only come to a standstill for the next time.

The suspension of the factory is not a big problem for those human employees and blood races. After all, their housing does not need too much money. For food, Song of the Mermaid has so much food and blood sugar in exchange, so there will be no problem at present. .

The only problem is Ariel's mind.

Looking at the textile factory that has been shut down all day long, she is so anxious that her heart is almost broken.After entering June, she went to the farmland outside the city almost every day, full of anticipation for those farmers who asked at the beginning of the year, including the Maiyi farmer, to ask when their cotton and hemp could be harvested.I always think that there are two crops a year, so the harvest time should be coming soon, right?

It's a pity that those plants will not ripen faster because of her impatience.Looking at those cotton flower buds slowly opening up, and only a little bit of white flocs were exposed inside, Ariel felt that her heart had been stabbed just once.

Sometimes she even felt that her mood was a bit like a girl in love?It's just that other girls are looking forward to their Prince Charming all day long, but she is looking forward to the cotton and marijuana in the field all day long.

Of course, it wasn't that nothing good happened during this time.

Just like the farmland mentioned earlier, after Ariel returned from the blood clan territory, she discovered that the farmland that was originally only a little bit around Pelican City could no longer be described as a "block".

That should be described as "spectacular"!

Around the entire Pelican City, all the flat land that is suitable for farming has been reclaimed by the farmers in Mai Yi!Using the powerful power of the element machine, these farmers alone can farm more farmland than a hundred people in the past!From the foot of the Sleeping Mountains to the shining forest over there, and then from the Swan Castle of Viscount Rich, looking around, there are almost fifty acres of farmland used to cultivate cotton alone!Not to mention other farmlands such as rice, wheat, and various vegetables.

Looking at such a huge agricultural foundation, Ariel can still show a warm smile on her face after all.She has even discussed with these farmers in advance that they don't need to do it when the time comes to harvest, but let the blood race come!

Those vampires can't work now anyway, and they will swarm out at night. Their claws are sharp, they are strong, and they are fast. What a pity that such a perfect harvesting laborer should eat blood sugar blocks in his new city?It's better to let them work a lot!

Other than that, there are a few things that are slowly coming to the fore.

Since there wasn't a lot of work to do, the idle workers began to attend classes and study with the children of Pelican City.When Ariel finds time, she will also try to give them some lessons, teach them to read and write, and let them know that they are not a person who does not need to learn knowledge.

The most important point is to let everyone understand that knowledge is not something that only nobles deserve to enjoy.Rather, it should be something that each of them needs to know.

The learning process has some twists and turns, and it cannot be regarded as completely smooth sailing.Some hired workers really don't like this kind of study and life very much. Some doze off in class, some are noisy, and some even don't come.

However, perhaps because Ariel is the teacher, most of the female workers are willing to come here.What made Ariel most gratified was that these female workers understood how to write their names, and the happy expressions on their faces when they were able to write some daily sentences completely with a pen for the first time.

Perhaps it was this expression that made Ariel feel that everything she did was useful.

By the way, there is one more thing, that is, in addition to Ariel's culture class, Tesla's elemental machine class is also being taught step by step.

He doesn't need to tell those students the specific operation of the elemental machine, he just needs to tell them how these elemental machines should be assembled step by step.During the three-month teaching process, Tesla re-manufactured a new elemental car, bringing out almost thirty or so elemental car manufacturing workers in one go.

During this period of time, the manufacturing plant of the elemental car was built carelessly.Although it seems that there are still many deficiencies, these workers can at least reluctantly pull the manufacturing of the element car into the schedule. It is estimated that they can start work after the next batch of iron ore arrives in July.

On the other hand, the education problem... is the blood race.

The four village chiefs of the Blood Race agreed to come to learn the human language.But in fact, there are still a small number of blood races who are willing to come to take a two-hour class every night.

Ariel hoped that these blood races would come to learn more of the human language every day, and she was even willing to go to the blood race's residential area to give lectures on her own initiative after sending away the human students.

However, apart from the four village chiefs who promised, the number of blood clan members who are willing to actively learn human language and human habits is decreasing day by day.

On the first day, maybe 80 people can come.

But after the second day, the third day, and the fourth day, fewer and fewer people came.After three months, those who are still willing to come to study every time, except for the village chief, there are only a few blood clan members.

Such a situation... really can't be said to be good...

Ariel has also been worrying about the current situation.

The blood race is different from the flower fairies. The flower fairies pose no obvious threat to humans. In addition, the flower fairies are beautiful and petite, so humans are willing to take the initiative to contact them.

However, the current image of the blood race is not so good. Although the continuous supply of blood sugar blocks can make them no longer have monster faces like before, after three months of recuperation, the expressions of each of them have changed. It also looked like a bunch of slum bums who had been starving for days.

Coupled with the bloodthirsty impression of the blood race and the completely different living habits from normal humans, after three months in Pelican City, the life between them and the humans in Pelican City seems not to be very harmonious.

It should be said... Humans actively alienated these blood races because they hated and feared them.And because of their prejudice and incomprehension towards humans, these blood races would rather isolate themselves and not interact with humans.

This kind of life continued, and even though no blood race had any problems in the past three months, a vague sense of uneasiness has always been spreading among humans.Even the citizens who used to be able to speak very frankly to Ariel, because she is the real "manager" of those blood races, would come here to chew their tongues a few times and say some unkind words from time to time.

"Oh... how can I live like this..."

Opening the gate of the guild, Ariel let the cool breeze blow in, dispelling the scorching heat in the guild hall in the early summer of June.

"President, what should I do?"

Cheese had just finished taking a shower, and with his washbasin and bath towel, he came out from behind and asked a question.Ariel glanced at him, snorted, and said, "What else could it be? Isn't it your group of people? They don't want to communicate with humans, and we humans don't want to get close to them... Cheese , you are also a blood clan, can't you take your clansmen to the night market when you are free? It is summer now, and the night market over the central square has also been set up."

Cheese frowned. He raised his head and looked at the three women, Coco, Margaux, and Suta, who were chatting with each other and walking towards the bathroom with washbasins and toiletries, and shrugged. , and said: "Hey! Cream, Brad, and Tesla are still bathing inside, why don't you wait for him to finish washing? Chairman, it's not that I don't want to, I also went to tell them. But my The clansmen are a bit stubborn about this..."

While speaking, Cheese jumped up to the second floor, threw his washbasin and toiletries into the room he opened, and then jumped down from the second floor again: "If you want me to tell you, don't I’m so worried. I’ve been in your human society for more than 20 years, and I haven’t integrated into your human society much, have I? I was covered by President Lan Wen before, and I just kept hiding from people. Only when Ariel It only got better on your side, the president. So, give my clansman a little more time."

Ariel sighed, propped her chin with her hands, and muttered: "I don't have the next 20 years for you to slowly adapt... Also, can you stop jumping up and down? There are stairs for you to walk, I I'm not in a hurry for you, are I?"

Cheese smiled, walked to the door, waved at Dak who had been waiting for a long time at the door, and said, "Then I'll go and chat with my people. In short, I will try my best."

Saying that, the vampire happily ran out.It is conceivable that he will not come back until dawn.

The first thousand and 170 chapters three unreachable agreement

Dake at the door came back with some sundries bought from the night market. He turned his head and glanced at the cheese that left, and then looked at Ariel here. After thinking for a while, he came with those sundries. In the rest area, sit down in front of Ariel.
