Wolf King

The female elf mage is named Evelyn, Elder Gwendolyn's eldest disciple, and a candidate for the Council of Elders in Ananas City.

Only elves over [-] years old can leave the tribe to travel with the teacher's approval. Evelyn, who is less than [-] years old and still young, has not yet obtained this permission. In other words, Evelyn has not seen many foreigners. .

But this does not affect Evelyn to undertake the important task of signing a magic contract with the Snow Wolf Clan, because her teacher is Gwendolyn after all... Among the elves, Evelyn is already considered a "qualified" new generation.

Such Ms. Evelyn still felt ashamed when she handed the magic contract to the snow wolf cub... She blushed, her brows were knotted, and her eyes were wandering. After handing over the magic contract, she couldn't talk to anyone. Watch, because—this is really embarrassing!

The seasonings and spices that the elders are full of praise, bought from the snow wolves at a price that is almost free, and in order to prevent the snow wolves from awakening and repenting, force them to sign the magic contract—the target is still A cub!Forest Goddess again... This kind of thing is really embarrassing!

"Ms. Gwendolyn, doing things that are not in line with my heart for the benefit of the tribe...Although it is difficult, I will work hard!"

Ms. Evelyn took several deep breaths, forced herself to turn around, and faced the cruel life with strength...

The cub held the contract in both hands, looking at her eagerly.

"Hmm... May I ask how should I sign it?" Xiao Yun asked carefully.

"...Woo!" Evelyn almost couldn't control her face away again. The lady who was targeting Elder Gwendolyn clenched her fists tightly and fixed her eyes on the Snow Wolf Clan. The face of the cub, gritted his teeth and said, "Please drop a drop of your blood on the roll."

"..." Xiao Yun stared at the dead fish eyes, pricked his finger with his nails silently, and pressed on the leather roll.

The leather roll made of unknown leather material suddenly burst into magnificent brilliance, and then seemed to be disintegrated by some force, and disappeared bit by bit from the corners out of thin air——

"?!" Xiao Yun shook his hands and quickly threw the leather scroll away.

The leather scroll didn't land on the ground, it was still floating in place, dissipating in sections from the four sides inward, and disappeared without a trace within a few seconds.

Xiao Yun: "..." Damn it!

"After the magic contract is signed, it will become part of the 'rules', and it will not exist when no one violates the contract." Evelyn stared at him firmly, explaining in a soft tone.

"...I understand." Xiao Yun swallowed, what's wrong with this girl? "Uh... what are you going to do next?"

Evelyn clenched her fists, as if swearing an oath before going to the battlefield, and said in a firm tone, "If the noble tribe doesn't mind, we hope to trade as soon as possible."

"...Of course I don't mind." Xiao Yun couldn't help but lean back.

Evelyn stood up suddenly, and spread her hands gracefully: "Please."

"Now?" Xiao Yun didn't react immediately.

Evelyn stared at him with bloodshot eyes, and her pretty face was a little distorted: "I brought gold coins for trading, and... a space bracelet for storing goods."

Xiao Yun: "..." Could you be too anxious, old man!

Evelyn turned to look at Kleist: "General, please arrange an escort for me."

Kleist, who had been pretending to be disconnected all this time, reacted now, and this guy raised his head with a righteous face...but he didn't look at Xiao Yun, his eyes only fell on Evelyn: "It should be like this, Ms. Evelyn, I'm going to arrange the manpower now."

After speaking, he immediately got up and walked out of the room with big strides... Xiao Yun's eyes were straightened, this guy really isn't a good thing!

Evelyn clasped her hands on her stomach, and slightly nodded towards Xiao Yun with a seemingly dignified demeanor: "Ayu, the snow werewolf, is it convenient to leave immediately?"

"..." Xiao Yun swallowed his saliva, he instinctively felt that...if he said no, this female elf, who was tense and forced to put on a show, might go berserk...

It should be a good thing to have a business deal and get on the right track of cooperation, but being urged to leave so eagerly, and the attitude of the other party seemed dangerous at first glance, Xiao Yun felt that something was wrong; he hurriedly recruited Mu Mu to escort him, and followed the elf The clan warriors set off together, and walking on the road, Xiao Yun once again silently figured out what was wrong with this business.

Needless to say, honey garlic paste, the production of this thing is limited by honey, and it is just an addition to the trade; the production of bean paste is higher than that of garlic paste, but this product... has a strong taste, and there is a process of cultivating the market. Just to add to the head.

The raw materials for the canned fruit can't be guaranteed by themselves, so they have to borrow the forest elves' hens to lay eggs... ahem, so they have to give the forest elves a profit.

The biggest profit comes from vinegar and soy sauce, both of which are daily necessities, and are suitable for elves with relatively light tastes. In an eighth-tier city, if there is only one non-staple food factory that supplies daily soy sauce and vinegar in such a city with a population of one million, this factory will make a lot of money...

The most profitable thing is vinegar. The raw materials of this thing can be made up of soybeans, wheat bran, and rice bran. One hundred catties of raw materials can produce three hundred catties of vinegar, which is similar to soy sauce. People in this world prefer sour taste according to Xiao Yun's "research". Sweet, so Xiao Yun rubbed his hands secretly and set the price at one hundred catties of gold--the purchasing power of coins in this world is quite good, one gram of gold can be exchanged for five hundred pieces of two-gram heavy copper coins with the smallest face value, one Copper coins can buy a piece of black bread or a catty of soybeans in the human kingdom, but in the orc empire, because the orc empire is relatively large and sparsely populated, it can buy two catties...

In other words, selling vinegar can have fifteen times the gross profit. As a manufacturer who does not provide transportation, this is really profitable, and Xiao Yun feels guilty if he dislikes making less money...

The raw material cost of soy sauce is higher than that of vinegar. 100 catties of soy sauce needs to consume 20 catties of raw soybeans + [-] catties of salt. It stands to reason that Xiao Yun should set the price of soy sauce more expensive than vinegar, but the reason is the soy sauce Did Xiao Yun lower the price instead?

This involves an ulterior purpose... Xiao Yun wants to cheat the Lamia business group.

Soy sauce cannot replace salt, but soy sauce can reduce salt consumption.

In Bloomfield Continent, the largest salt merchant is the Lamia Merchant Group.

Xiao Yun only earns a little hard work on the soy sauce, and sells the soy sauce to the elves at the price of cabbage. When the market of the elves is saturated, the problem arises... Will the forest elves who can buy a lot of soy sauce at the price of cabbage Will the soy sauce be resold to other regions?

The elves make three times as much in the process of changing hands, and the price of bulk soy sauce will not exceed five copper coins per catty, which is cheaper than the salt sold by the black-hearted business group Lamia. Will the soy sauce in the market affect the sales of salt, the main product of the Lamia Merchant Group?

The snow wolves keep their mouths shut. The forest elves who are second-hand dealers will definitely not be so cheap as to advertise where the soy sauce they sell comes from. The Lamia business group wants to suppress their peers, and what they are facing is the behemoth of the elves... Xiao Yun expects them to take revenge more than they do!

Ha ha……

Ha ha ha ha...

Digging pits for competitors in advance, using five, ten, or even 20 years to build a bottomless pit to fill in opponents, Xiao Yun sees how hot it is from the Chinese state leaders!If you don’t learn how to be worthy of the Communist Party!

After thinking about it, Xiao Yun didn't think what kind of magical posture the Snow Wolf Clan would use in order to lose money in this business, because it was clearly a matter of how much they sold and how much they earned... It was even more necessary to cheat the Lamia Merchant Group. It is impossible to fail, in order to urge the elves to quickly "open their minds", Xiao Yun even calculated how many times the profits they could make by being second-hand dealers - wait!

Xiao Yun, who was riding on a wooden back and galloping forward with the elf warriors, suddenly showed a strange expression, and turned his head to look at the female elf Evelyn who was riding a big bird in the air.

Could it be... They also saw the profits in the process of changing hands of soy sauce, and felt that the Snow Wolf clan was actively giving them money, so they felt embarrassed?

Xiao Yun immediately shuddered. This thought really shocked him... No, no, no, no, no matter how funny the forest elves are, they can’t be so funny. , This is too funny, and the morals can't be so high-the elders have enough morals, and it's just a slight hand trembling to make a fortune from the big dog.

I have only heard of a race that will decline by accident, but I have never heard of a race that has become strong by accident. How can the forest elves have a queen second only to the elf king, and a large tribe with a population of more than one million? Enough to face up to N human kingdoms, such a behemoth Xiao Yun felt that he should not treat others as a fool, it would be easy to make himself a fool...

"Either the Ananas tribe sent by the elf queen to build the port is more funny and mentally ill." Looking at the female elf riding a big bird in the air again, Xiao Yun touched his chin, deeply convinced, "That's good too. Those with a higher lower limit are always easier to deal with. If you're funny, you'll be funny."

In the city of Ananas, Elder Gwendolyn, who was reading in the Council of Elders, sneezed wildly.

The Huoyan tribe is still busy. The elves who visited again did not attract much attention from everyone. The engineering team is still working hard to dig the river. The recent flood of rain has made the team busy with drainage in the field. Qingyan's second-level labor force is also waiting for the labor The livestock were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, and Balk wanted to avoid the forest elves and didn't go out, that is to say, the grassroots patriarch put down his work and rushed over to greet him; after meeting and greeting, the grassroots patriarch forgot about receiving guests again Let Xiao Yun and himself get busy—the earthworms raised in the open air are affected by the increase in rainfall, and the grass roots are in a state of desperation, so there is no time to talk nonsense with people here.

The female elf Evelyn and the four elf warriors looked in amazement at the empty snow wolf tribe in broad daylight with no idlers, and realized why this tribe was so different from the snow wolf tribe they had imagined... All members It's a job that is like earning your life. It's no wonder if you can't do well.

Xiao Yun brought the five elves to the brewing warehouse, and opened the door: "This warehouse is full of soy sauce, and the next row of warehouses is filled with vinegar."

"Oh..." The five elves exclaimed in unison. There were so many rough pottery vats over one meter high that they had to be piled up for storage. It really looked spectacular.

"How many catties of soy sauce are there in such a tank?" Evelyn asked.

"We have made the body of this vat thicker, and one vat can only hold one ton, um, two thousand catties of vinegar." Xiao Yun said honestly, "Our tribe has a small population now, and the labor force is relatively tight. Last year, the soybeans we planted in winter The brewed soy sauce is only about 60 catties. Our tribe does not have a suitable weighing device, and the total amount is calculated according to the number of cylinders. I calculated that the error of each cylinder is about a few catties. This should be It doesn't matter?"

Evelyn & the four elf warriors: "..."

"Uh...it's okay, a few catties of error is fine." Evelyn swallowed.

"It will only be more and not less." Xiao Yun smiled honestly, "The vinegar in the warehouse over there is a little less than soy sauce, because brewing is more troublesome, only 30 catties, 150 cylinders, plus 300 cylinders of soy sauce, you can take it away ?"

"No problem, what I brought is my teacher Gwendolyn's space bracelet, which can hold an entire lake." Evelyn nodded quickly.

"Hmm... that..." Xiao Yun pretended to be very embarrassed, "It is also very troublesome for us to build the tank, because our tribe is short of manpower... So after you transport the things back, can you return the tank to us? "Burning 500 large vats made Xiao Yun spit out his blood, and it was specified that it could not be given away for free... At first, we also considered providing a service of bottling by catty, but since you are so impatient, you can do it yourself.

"No problem." Evelyn nodded again, agreeing very readily - pottery can be fired at a temperature above 900 degrees, the process is simple, and the forest elves have no shortage of pottery.

Xiao Yun, who is so good at party A, also had to give some feedback, and immediately said with a smile: "We pack honey garlic paste and bean paste in relatively small earthenware pots. You can take the earthenware pots away." They are expensive Well, it should be packed.

"Okay." Evelyn had nothing to express other than nodding.

Both parties are straightforward, business is easy to do, and there is no rule in this world to pay half and owe half. Evelyn is afraid that the Snow Wolf Clan will repent, and she can't wait to put the gold she brought into Xiao Yun's pocket immediately. The process of this transaction is naturally windless. no waves.

The vinegar and soy sauce brewed from 30 catties of soybeans are exchanged for five kilograms of gold. The forest elf metallurgy process has a purity of 999. They are also thoughtfully pressed into ten-gram gold coins, plus honey garlic paste and bean paste in exchange for toppings. Yun bought [-] kilograms of gold at one time, and this business is simply done-in modern times, the seller would laugh when the transaction price was cut to one-third.

Why do you say that, because most of the soy sauce vinegar we buy for a few yuan a bottle in modern times is actually used to buy brand quality, and unlicensed low-quality soy sauce vinegar is based on tens of dollars or dozens of dollars A ton of money counts...Of course, this is all blended, and the safety is not guaranteed.

After the transaction was completed, both parties were so smiling that they couldn't see their teeth; Xiao Yun hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and took them to see the canned fruit in bottles—a bottle of canned food weighed three catties, and the contents were no less than 50%. One can for ten catties of fruit, any kind of fruit, regardless of its appearance, and the transportation of the elves to and fro. Once this condition was raised, Xiao Yun and Evelyn were also happy, and both felt that they had taken advantage of it.

Xiao Yun is happy that the hen borrowed it, and the extra part of the canned food is pure profit. What Evelyn is happy about is that the forest elves have so many fruits in spring, summer and autumn. Use your own garbage to exchange other people's goods...

Since the forest elves are so good as Party A, Xiao Yun designated that he hoped to get some more wool from them, so he took Evelyn to see the pickled vegetables and pickled vegetables produced by the Snow Wolf Clan, which also have a long shelf life, and wool spinning The yarn produced by the factory.

It's a pity that this time the female elf is not so honorable... Forest elves with suncloth don't like woolen products at all, and pickles don't suit the elves' appetite very much, but they are willing to save face and set a gram of sauerkraut. At the transaction price of [-] jin of gold, twenty large tanks of sauerkraut were taken away, and it was promised that if the council of elders was interested in sauerkraut, it would increase the purchase volume.

Xiao Yun counted the [-] gold coins exchanged for sauerkraut, and suddenly found that this business is also very successful—the raw materials of sauerkraut are green vegetables and vinegar, since everyone loves sour and sweet, they can also be sold on the boat. Anyway, the tribe's vegetable production can be increased at any time.

So he sent away the forest elves, God of Wealth, and Xiao Yun asked the warriors who were transporting goods to and from the port to send the remaining few jars of vinegar, more than a dozen jars of sauerkraut, and pickles that the elves despised, to the port. Ridge's Market does not accept these items.

"The manpower is still too tight. This winter no matter what, we have to recruit a few tribes to come over!"

The warriors of the Snow Wolf Clan made four trips back and forth, transporting a large number of sorted and selected furs, Warcraft parts, [-] head of cattle and sheep, canned fruits, wool, vinegar jars, and pickles and sauerkraut jars to the port. The merchant ship finally returned.

"Teacher Ayun!" Prince Carlisle saw Xiao Yun alive, so excited he jumped off the deck several meters high, rushed forward, and hugged Xiao Yun.

"Carlisle... oh! Hey, hey, hey!" Xiao Yun was knocked back into his chest, and had to tear Carlisle off with all his strength, "Okay, okay, but I haven't seen you for more than a year, don't get so excited, Steady focus."

"I'm sorry, I'm too excited." Prince Carlisle held back his excitement, "Teacher Ayun, I have a lot to say to you."

"If you have a chance, don't rush, come and let me show you a baby..."

Xiao Yun winked at the pure Prince Carlisle, and pulled him to his room...

Uh... Evil scenes won't happen, Xiao Yun's room already has two big men sitting in Xiao Yun's room... one is Darren, a warrior with great sword, and the other is Tim, an alchemist.

These two people were not staying here for fun by Prince Carlisle. During this period, they spent most of their time in Anas City in the name of a bridge between the elves and the Adventurer Association. It was only two days before the fleet returned. He came back with the research officer from the Adventurer's Association, and was brainwashed by Xiao Yun... No, he took an economics class.

"Carlisle!"

Darren and Tim stepped forward to hug His Royal Highness and beat each other's shoulders and arms. The three friends got excited for a while before calming down and listening to Teacher Ayun's class.

Xiao Yun put the prepared samples on the table, and said seriously: "Carlisle, the last sea trade has proved that you have the ability to open up new business routes for St. Bridge, and some nobles are willing to join your business with common interests. The boat supports you, next, you have to think for yourself."

Carlisle's expression froze, and he quickly corrected his posture.

"The domestic stability of the six southern countries is greater than that of some southern landlocked countries. Part of the reason is that you have chosen a centralized policy. The territory of St. Bridge belongs to the country, and the royal city, which is entrusted to the nobles, will collect half of the tax. This concentration of land ownership and taxation power is St. Bridge's advantage over inland countries. The reason is that the royal city can afford money. Wars require money, and if there is money, there will be an army. The local nobles dare not act recklessly It is reckless, because the economic conditions of the local nobles cannot be compared with those of the royal city."

"But St. Bridge has been established for many years, and now, the taxes received by the various fiefdoms in the royal city can no longer be compared with before... The local bureaucrats and real power aristocrats have no reason to guard the warehouses and not steal from themselves. The decline in the royal authority lies in the fact that In the territories of some powerful aristocrats, Wangcheng can only receive far lower taxes than before, and Wangcheng's face is only supported by land ownership."

Prince Carlisle nodded involuntarily, his eyes sparkling. Although Mr. Ayun had never been to St. Bridge, but only through his description, Mr. Ayun could see the problems and crises in St. Bridge so thoroughly.

Uh... It's not that Xiao Yun is so talented. In Chinese history, there are too many dynasties changing from Xia to Qing. There is nothing new under the sun. If you have any questions, you can always find the answer by looking through the history books.

"If you want to make St. Bridge strong, then as a symbol of the royal family, you, Prince Carlisle, must have money in your hands. You must be richer than the local nobles, and you must be able to support an army that only obeys you. When you have food and fists, your voice is the loudest and your words count. Do you agree with this, Carlisle?"

"Of course, Teacher Ayun." Prince Carlisle said excitedly. It was because of this understanding that he took off the prince's dress and walked out of the royal city to venture out to sea!

Xiao Yun smiled slightly: "In addition to money, you also need to have people's hearts. I believe you know how reliable the nobles are. As the heir of the kingdom, when the vast majority of low-level citizens are on your side, you will It is impossible for anyone to shake your position... The people are weak and powerless because they are scattered. When the people firmly support you, Carlisle, just imagine, if nothing else, the total number of nobles in the royal city is How many, and what is the total number of ordinary citizens?"

"The people themselves cannot unite, because they are short-sighted, stupid, have not received a decent education, and do not know or understand what they should do is right, so they cannot unite and have strength on their own; and you, as a prince, become a united When the core of the people is at the core, how much power can be erupted by the people who account for 99% of the crowd, Carlisle, have you ever imagined?"

Carlisle's eyes widened, his jaw dropped, and goosebumps appeared on the back of his neck and north... In fact, he had been vaguely aware of it for many years, so he selected from the lowest-ranked kingdom knight families he thought were reliable. He thinks that he is enough to broaden his horizons; but compared with Mr. Ayun, he feels that he is so short-sighted—compared with the number of ordinary citizens, what are the nobles in the royal city? !

Darren and Tim were even more excited. They themselves were from the lower class. If the royal family would look away from the nobles and look at the lower class, then... the ceiling above their heads would no longer exist.

"Teacher Ayun, what should I do?" Prince Carlisle quickly recovered and asked eagerly.

Xiao Yun smiled mysteriously: "As your teacher, I can't help you too much. I can only do my best to provide you with some feasible methods... Let you slowly accumulate people's hearts and popularity while accumulating economic strength. .”

"This is wool. These are sweaters and trousers hand-knitted with wool. Ordinary housewives can weave them. They are warmer than cotton and far cheaper than suncloth and magicweave cloth."

"The winter in St. Bridge is not too cold. Most of the time, citizens only need to wear a set of long-sleeved white cotton underwear to keep out the cold, but after all, the temperature will cool down in winter. When it is the coldest, there will be a few light snowfalls. …I heard Tim and Darren mention that during the days when it snows every year, citizens in the royal city with only thin shirts can’t go out, and the homeless people even freeze to death on the streets, right?”

"Yes, teacher." Carlisle looked at the wool and sweater and pants on the table, his voice couldn't help but get excited.

"The wool produced by our tribe, I will only sell it to you at the cheapest price. It only costs five copper coins for a catty of wool. I suggest that you set up a special department to operate the wool that is shipped back. It does not sell wool to the outside world, but It is difficult for women at the bottom of the city to organize their families to weave, and the processing fee for each sweater is two to three copper coins. A sweater knitted with one catty of wool is thick enough to resist the cold wind of St. Bridge in winter. The price is set at forty to fifty copper coins, and the more difficult people can afford it—”

In a society with low productivity, clothing is also an important symbol of wealth. The timeline on the earth is pushed back 30 years, and many backward areas are so poor that a family has only one pair of pants; The old clothes are taken to the pawnshop to exchange a few big ones for food to satisfy the hunger... The era when there are so many clothes that people have to throw away a lot of old clothes to free up wardrobe space is only two to 100 years on the earth. That's all!

The Kingdom of St. Bridge produces white cotton cloth, but many people at the bottom can’t even afford a set of white cotton long-sleeved clothes... The ancient Chinese song "I entered the city yesterday, and I came back full of tears. Those who are covered in silk, are they not Sericulture people.” Song Dynasty poetry is common in any feudal society with low productivity.

The woolen yarn with a purchase price of five copper coins, including the transportation cost and the cost of hiring poor women for weaving, can earn at least double the profit if sold for twenty copper coins. The clothing benefits not only the civilians without thick clothes, but also the women's families—Prince Carlisle thinks about it for a while, and he knows that this is the best thing to gain both fame and wealth. He stood up , Stretched his arms across the table and hugged Xiao Yun's neck, so excited that he lost his voice: "Teacher! I, I—"

"Fuck, you little bastard, can you still talk properly!"
