Wolf King

At least [-] people are required to participate in the production of canned fruit in glass bottles. How many days have these [-] people participated in the production? How much is the gross profit, how much is the net profit... Cost accounting is not a matter of a company or a collective. Individuals who set up a small stall to sell egg-filled pancakes have to calculate this account. Only after calculating the cost clearly can you know what the next decision should be. How to do it, such as recommending that customers add bacon or sausage to make money?This small street vendor must know it well.

After calculating the cost, we also need to calculate the market reaction. What kind of income is the main passenger flow of this street?Would most people prefer to spend two bucks on sausage or three bucks on bacon?This also has to be thought out.

Xiao Yun didn't care whether the people in this room could understand or not, he calculated his own accounts, those of the forest elves and St. Bridge's fleet, how much the tribe earned through the canned fruit trade this year, Why the forest elves are willing to lend hens (fruits) to the tribe to lay eggs, why the fleet needs canned fruits...etc.

"—Trading is to exchange things that are useless or not very useful with others, so that the value of the items or working hours will increase, generate economic benefits, and become valuable commodities. For our tribe, the labor force in the slack period Working hours are low-value commodities. For the forest elves, the overflowing fruits in spring, summer and autumn are low-value commodities. We make canned sweet water for them that can be stored until winter, and they give us five times the means of production, that is With five times as much fresh fruit as canned, it's a premium deal that benefits both parties."

"We obtained five times the means of production, processed five times the canned fruit, and sold one-third of it to St. Bridges for five copper coins a can. If the money they paid was converted into soybeans, it was equivalent to five catties Soybeans were exchanged for one of our cans. That is to say, the 28 of us worked a total of 83 days and earned 1 catties of soybeans for the tribe in these two transactions, which is equivalent to the annual output of [-] mu of land. In the same period, more than [-] cans, preserved fruits, dried fruits, and jams left by our tribe were also obtained... Tell me, can this business be done?"

Everyone knows that the tribe and the forest elves exchanged [-] catties of fruit in the summer, and also know that some of the canned fruits made of these fruits were sold to the fleet, some were kept in the warehouse for their own use and start-up funds for next year, and some were not suitable Canned fruit is made into dried fruit jam, which everyone can eat when they get snacks; but no one has carefully calculated the cost and profit of this business. Hearing Ayun’s calculation, it is natural for the people in the tribe The grassroots patriarchs who knew the situation the most opened their mouths wide... wait, is it like this?How could those burnt glass bottles and fruits soaked in boiled maltose water make so much money? !

Xiao Yun calmly waited for everyone to be shocked enough, and then continued the class: "Society and economy should be linked together, because the economic circulation in different regions brought about by the transaction also requires understanding the social form and economic structure of the counterparty. Only in this way can we know the consumption ability of the trading partner and the acceptance of a certain transaction, because people will only do business with us if they want to make a profit and benefit, otherwise why do others want to do business with you?"

"Why is the St. Bridge Merchant Group willing to pay 100 gold coins to buy our 1 canned fruits? Because the fruits in these cans come from the forest elves, and they are the mature products cultivated by the great druids among the forest elves. Humans believe this Growing fruit is good for your body..."

Xiao Yun spent those days at the port not only inquiring about the situation of the forest elves, he also inquired about the situation of humans. After all, if the source of information only came from Carlisle, it would be a bit monotonous after all... just like the Chinese people who tirelessly communicate in the consumption of bird’s nests. Just like the IQ tax, human beings also believe that the natural products of the forest elves have miraculous effects, so Xiao Yun bid the price of five copper coins per can—it’s no wonder that the people on board can eat 1 3-jin cans a month, he He knew very well in his heart that at most a few hundred of this batch of cans were consumed on the road, and the rest must be transported back to St. Bridges for sale... Prince Carlisle also knew this, but it was a tacit understanding between the two parties.

When these 1 canned fruits produced by the forest elves open the market in St. Bridge, Carlisle will order to buy them next year... Bird's nest, which is not as nutritious as eggs, is a thing that modern Chinese people are willing to pay IQ tax. At least in terms of taste and quality, why can't the canned forest elf fruit?

This point was not made clear to Xiao Yun, Prince of Carlisle, and of course there was no need to hide it from the talents that his family wanted to cultivate, so all the plush and fluffy people were dumbfounded again... Is it possible to do business like this? !

"Of course, the horn of the snow beast we picked up from the swamp before, what is the difference between the composition of that thing and the nails we grow? But because it is the horn of a snow beast, such a thing that can only be used as a decoration We got back twenty bags of peppercorns in full. That’s it, we still lost money. The person who bought this corner shipped the stuff to St. Bridges, and it’s like playing for dozens of times the profit.” Xiao Yun said seriously.

Everyone: "??"

"That's why I said, we need to study economy and society together. Next, I will give you a general introduction to the economic structure of human society. When you deal with human beings in the future, you will have something in mind."

On the grasslands, wealth belongs to the tribe, but in human society, wealth belongs to the rich and powerful... Well, it seems that there is not much difference between the two sides, but when you look at it seriously, the difference is big: the wealth of the tribe belongs to the group, but the wealth of the human kingdom is the same as the cardinal number The largest bottom-level citizens have nothing to do with half a dime. Of course, this is also due to the fact that the wealth of the tribe is not sufficient to support a blood-sucking class, but this does not need to be elaborated... Xiao Yun will not allow no labor anyway blood-sucking worms exist in the tribe.

Take St. Bridges as an example. The royal family owns the land, and the land use rights belong to the nobles. The nobles exploit the lower-level labor force to generate wealth from the land, the largest means of production. Part of the wealth produced belongs to the nobles, and part of the wealth belongs to the royal family. ;It seems that the royal family seems to be determined to make blood, but the problem is that when the supervision is not in place, and the supervisor and the actual operator are the same person, it is simply a fairy tale that others do not participate in it. Then the following situation will inevitably occur: the nobles who manage the place Using various excuses to withhold tax revenue, the royal family eats the small head and they eat the big head. What happens, such as local rebellion, natural disasters, the royal family wants to send troops to suppress it, and has to pay the nobles...

Knowing the distribution of political and ecological power in St. Bridge’s country, there is no problem in understanding their main consumer groups: the royal family has money, the nobles must have money, and the bottom-level citizens are good enough to live and have a little money. Spending power?Don't expect too much... The people will spend most on people's livelihood, and luxury goods do not exist.

"The conclusion is that the bulk commodities we sell to St. Bridge are resold domestically, and the main consumers are nobles and people related to nobles. The purchasing power of this group is considerable, but the source of customers is too single, which is not enough for us. Good thing, so we have to figure out a way to increase our commodity consumption level, and introduce commodities that can also be consumed by the bottom-level citizens, who account for an absolute majority in the Kingdom of St. Bridge, and have consumption needs."

Everyone was so dazed that there were stars in front of their eyes, but the cruel Xiao Yun did not give everyone time to breathe: "For us, the more practical way is to sell woolen products to St. Bridges. For us Wool is an additional product of sheep raising, an added value generated during the breeding process, and the cost of raw materials is infinitely low. Then, in the processing of wool, the cost we pay is only the man-hours consumed during the processing, the development and manufacture of auxiliary equipment, and the minerals used for dyeing. Dye extraction, and the capacity to transport large quantities of wool to Elvish ports..."

"Everyone knows how many people there are in the wool spinning factory. Sally and the gray dwarves spent time making carding machines, spinning machines... and the steel consumption of the machines. You can ask about these. The man-hours consumed during the extraction and dyeing of mineral dyes, I've already written it on paper..." Xiao Yun picked up the stack of bark paper in front of him, "This is the homework everyone has to hand in in the first class. Calculate our labor cost in wool production. The first batch of wool sold to St. Bridge is the question, how much labor cost was consumed in the whole process, everyone go back and calculate it carefully... hand it in within three days, the answer is not required to be correct, as long as it is the manpower consumed in each processing link There are not too many omissions in the accounting, and it can be regarded as a pass."

All the staff were stunned... Even Qiu, the person in charge of the wool spinning factory, had straight eyes.

"Everyone, don't be so timid. Have I said it many times? There are always more solutions than problems. Now I don't ask you to solve the problem. I just ask you to figure out what we have paid from the problems we have solved. It's not difficult!" Xiao Yunyu said earnestly, got up and handed out the bark paper.

"Ah Yun, how do you calculate this?" Qiu Xiao's face turned pale.

"Didn't I take the processing of canned fruit as an example before? From the acquisition of raw materials to the specific processing process, and the manpower involved in each process, I have calculated it for you. In this section, we will not care about the source of raw materials for wool, but only It is very simple to calculate the labor cost during the processing period from raw wool to woolen yarn."

Qiu's eyes began to roll white - what's so simple? !

"Everyone, don't be stressed. As I said, the answer is not required to be correct. As long as you can calculate the approximate manpower consumed by each processing link, it is considered a pass. You can discuss with each other and brainstorm ideas~" Xiao Yun finished the homework and smiled. Sit back calmly, "Okay, everyone, put away your homework first, and then we will start the second class, ideological education."

Xia's complexion changed immediately, and the light bark paper in his hand weighed a thousand catties—wouldn't this force him to seek help from the rabbit cat warrior Qiu? !

A subconscious thought appeared in Xia's mind... Could it be that Ah Yun is targeting me?

This idea was quickly rejected by Xia himself, because everyone present had ugly faces and nervous nerves regardless of their race. Apparently, the difficulty of the homework that Ayun asked everyone to do this time was a bit heavenly for everyone...

Trying to control the trembling hands, folded the bark paper and put it in his pocket. Xia's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't even hear the second class that Ayun started to teach - let him communicate with others sincerely To help each other, to ask the manul and the gray dwarf for advice, to reach the "pass line" with the help of others, this is... an unbearable humiliation for Xia.

You must know that he does not really agree with the snow wolf tribe's way of acting that puts the collective interests first. Although he has no choice and is forced to live in this group, what he hopes and pursues is still to be able to stand out. Self, only self is special, only self is superior to others within the group status.

A special status that is different from others, standing out from the crowd, is what he is willing to pursue.How could he tolerate such a life of being mixed in the group like others and receiving treatment that was not much different from others!

He is not reconciled to defecting to the Tiger clan!Submerged in the mediocrity of the collective, he is also not reconciled!

Gritting his teeth hard, Xia endured the burning in his heart in great pain, and forced himself to calm down—he had endured it for so long, and even accepted with difficulty that Qingyan and Hongye were better at leading others than him. Now, it's just a few more people on the list of patience.

Hmm... Although there is a lot of drama in the heart, it's a pity that the spotted leopard sitting among the snow werewolves is really not very conspicuous, so Xiao Yun didn't notice Xia's hateful and unwilling eyes at all...

Ideological and political education, of course, is about the history of the Snow Wolf Clan—the history of the Snow Wolf Clan from the elf warrior and alchemist Tim who was good friends is very scattered, and there is only a rough outline, but since it ended in tragedy History, then it can have inspiring value... Ahem!

The Snow Wolf Clan used to be the royal guards and the strongest combat power of the Orc Empire. The Royal Clan was defeated in the political struggle, and the Snow Wolf Clan also paid a huge price. The adult cubs hastily retreated to the grassland. Once such a tragic history was told, everyone present was counted as one, and they all felt extremely bitter and vengeful...

Then, from the perspective of the elves and humans, it tells about the glory days of the snow wolf clan, which makes everyone yearn for regret...

In the end, it is to issue a deafening and heroic oath to continue the inheritance on the grassland:

"Our ancestors lost their lives on the other side of the York Mountains. This is the indelible pain that history has left for our Snow Wolf clan." Xiao Yun said in a deep voice, "But we will not be defeated by the pain. After 200 years In the past, our snow wolves have found their own new way of survival on the grassland, so what if the inheritance is cut off, we are still living on the grassland, then we are the new inheritance, belonging to our snow wolf clan, belonging to the grassland The inheritance of the people will continue from our generation down.”

"In the broken inheritance, we have two partners, the tiger clan and the cat clan. In the new inheritance, we have partners such as the cat clan, goblins, gray dwarves, and even humans. History always moves forward, and it is bound to go upwards. Spiral, we have more partners than our ancestors, then we will definitely be able to develop an even better inheritance than our ancestors."

"When more people unite and more races come together, the power will be greater, and more beautiful and unprecedented things will be created." Xiao Yun looked at the people in the room with a smile. There are werewolves, there are cats, goblins, and gray dwarves, no matter what race, everyone's eyes have an emotion called excitement because of his words. The gray dwarves burn out glass, and the cat clan takes care of the greenhouses and grows vegetables. Through our unity, we can cultivate in winter, and in snowy days when the ground is frozen, food can grow in the land we own... We Our unity has created such a miracle, so why is it so difficult for us to create a new inheritance?"

"It is not only our snow wolf clan that wants to create inheritance, goblins, gray dwarves, and cat clan, but also create new inheritance. These inheritances are not only a history that our descendants will feel honored when they mention it, but also a history that we The living environment of future generations can be improved, the real knowledge and the continuation of civilization make the grassland a paradise where the descendants of all races can survive more easily, isn’t this kind of inheritance even greater and more remarkable?”

"Yes! That's right!" the gray dwarf Baru jumped up excitedly, shaking his fist vigorously, "miracles can be created, and there is nothing else that can't be done. We, the gray dwarves, can also create the inheritance of the gray dwarves on the grassland. !"

"Well said Balu!" Hongye slapped Balu and slapped him onto Lan Guo. Xiaohua quickly reached out to hold him up, and they all laughed together.

"Inheritance, inheritance...!" the goblin old Samana muttered in a low voice, shaking his metal fist vigorously in front of his chest.

Qiu Hehe Zhile, small cat clans such as cat cats, cheetahs, and lynx can also create wealth for the collective with their own hands, and are no longer a burden to the tribe. Of course, such inheritance is not superior to their size and combat effectiveness. It is more beneficial for future generations if the warriors fight against monsters like others.

Qingyan smiled, he was once confused about the future of the cat clan, but now he is no longer confused.

The golden cat warrior with beautiful short brown-red hair is grinning silly. Golden cats are special in the cat family. Although they are small in size, they are powerful in fighting. They are generally regarded as big cats.This golden cat warrior used to be a staunch supporter of Xia, but after living in the Snow Wolf Tribe for a year, he has accepted a new way of life with the same intelligence as Xia and without Xia's strong obsession.

Xia, who only listened to the second half of the class, was almost moved by Xiao Yun's words, he raised his clenched hand halfway before becoming alert, and then slowly lowered it down.

Xiao Yun waited for everyone to be excited enough, and slapped everyone to wake them up: "Okay, everyone put your emotions away, it's a bit late now, let's hurry up and start elementary arithmetic class——"

The wails immediately rang out...

The three courses taught for the first time are just introductory courses. No matter whether everyone is staring at the stars or not, the difficulty here is really only this level... I beat everyone up with algebra exercises for senior elementary school students. Xiao Yun graciously didn't leave homework, and put the dazed people back to sleep.

The following days... For the people in the tribe, it is really a familiar pain and joy, delicious potato stew, stir-fried potato chips, hot and sour potato shreds, hot and sour sweet potato powder full of color and flavor Intersecting with increasingly difficult and dense homework problems, the labor of sweeping snow and when it is not snowing has become a fragrant steamed bun that everyone is rushing to do, just to win a relaxing rest time for the brain...

But when everyone in the tribe was in dire straits, in the north of the grassland, under the Samar Snow Mountain, an accident happened quietly...

In front of the uphill sentry post leading to the Ice and Snow King City, a group of snow elf warriors wearing silver-white armor, suncloth and magicweave lining under the armor, carrying longbows and carrying weapons silently confronted the uninvited visitor. Behind them, at the top of the sentry post, ten A row of defensive crossbows stood side by side on the ice wall a few meters high, with armor-piercing enchanted arrows emitting a cold light stuck in the top strings, the arrows pointing to the sky on the slope, blocking the entire airspace up the mountain.

The green dragon lord Oston with an ugly face didn't dare to fly too high. The soles of his feet were only twenty meters above the ground, and he didn't dare to get too close. The snow elf warrior holding a two-meter-long sword had an attack range of up to ten meters in an instant. , if he got any closer, the thick saber blade, which could cut off even the neck of a snow beast, would have sliced ​​right into his front face.

In the depressing silence, the captain of this sentry team took a step forward, raised his hand and took off his visor, revealing the ruby-like eyes unique to the snow elves, and looked at the visitor coldly: "Please come back, Lord Oston, my king will soon Nei does not intend to receive guests."

Lord Auston took a deep breath, fell from the air, and said with a stinky face: "Okay, I know what's going on... I am willing to return the gold mine in the west of the Samar Snow Mountain, on the condition that the snow elves help me find my son Balk..." His voice suddenly trembled, and his tone was a little low, "Even if...just find Balk's body, I want to know where my son is and what happened."

The captain of the sentinel was silent for a moment before nodding slightly: "Please wait a moment, I will ask my king for instructions."

Half an hour later, the guards on the sentry post were finally willing to let him go. Lord Auston eagerly turned into a dragon, spread his wings and flew towards the Ice and Snow King City on the top of the mountain.

The promise of the elf king is as reliable as the majestic Samar Snow Mountain. A few days later, groups of snow elf warriors either stepped on skis or rode sleighs pulled by domesticated snow beast larvae, went deep into the cursed land, searching for the missing A young green dragon over a year old...
