"Chief Servant Serena, this idea of yours is indeed good, it is ......"

The chubby Bishop William frowned, his face sad.

He sighed and said: "Not everyone will be able to accept this idea, many people will not understand how tax cuts can stimulate the circulation and development of commerce, as you can see, the banks of our Church of the Goddess of Wealth are full of coins, both commoners and nobles. Most mages are very stubborn, especially in this country, mages and nobles make their minds like stubborn stones, if it's a problem with spells, it's fine, but if it's something else, they won't even think about it. ”

Most of the mages live a long time and can sit in the seat for a longer time, and there are very few nobles in the country of mages who can succeed to the throne before the age of thirty, and the relatively old-fashioned 'orthodox heir of the Arcane Empire' makes many young people have no way to rise, which indirectly leads to the decay of this country, but the authorities are confused, and the king of this country still has not woken up.

The Arcane Empire only needs slaves to create value, but the Kingdom of Kolo is not an Arcane Empire, and it is useless to cling to those vanities.

Bishop William shook his head and said, "The nobles looked down on merchants, and although merchants brought them a lot of wealth, they never tried to understand the profession of merchants, even if they themselves formed caravans, but they still held on to the so-called 'glory'. This insistence may be admirable, but the high tax rate has made their subjects a little miserable. ”

"Your idea even opens my mind, but that's exactly why it's because it's so ...... It's too 'advanced' for those nobles to accept. ”

Bishop William sighed and politely declined Serena's offer.

His answer made the maid frown, and in order to stimulate the economic circulation of the Sadwind, she lowered the various taxes of the Sadwind, set up a bulletin board near the city gate, and hired a literate apprentice at the Church of the God of Knowledge to explain the information on the bulletin board to passers-by.

Although in the long run, the cost is not large, and the return is also very large, but in fact, the sad wind collar has no money, but because of the special situation, if you want to have a stable channel to make money without increasing the tax rate, this is the only way.

In addition, she has prepared a lot of things, but none of them will generate income in the short term.

Gritting his teeth, tightening his clothes and food, he can also let Cervantes lead the team to clean up the sewers, at least at this time, the sad wind collar can't have too big a problem, and the monster in the sewers is also a big hidden danger.

Cultists and demon believers are of course considered a hidden danger - especially after the Great Demon Tide, when more people can hear the whispers and calls from the lower planes - but now that they are almost full of food, how can they have the energy to care about so much?

The fastest way to work is to wait until two months before the paper mill will produce the first batch of paper.

Fortunately, the autumn harvest was approaching, and although the maid had complained that this season was a little embarrassing before, she also felt a little fortunate now.

After the autumn harvest, they will have income, and the taxes paid by the farmers will allow them to last for a while.

This did not satisfy Serena, so she went to the Temple of Fortune to talk to Bishop William about asking the priests of the Goddess of Fortune Church to spread the knowledge of commerce with the local lords elsewhere.

If the tax rate in other places is also reduced, even if there is only one territory, even if there is only one viscount, as long as it is the territory of the inland nobles, then the Grief Territory will be able to have new income items in a shorter time.

In Wynd, petty thieves are required to do compulsory labor if they are caught, and children under the age of 12 are only required to be educated, but children over the age of 12 are required to do voluntary labor, albeit only to clean the streets of the lower city.

Adult offenders, as long as the crime is not too serious, can come out and let loose, and they also need to undergo labor reform, but they can still go to the tavern to drink a few glasses of wine during the period.

Because of this regulation, the most important public facilities in Wende City have been built in the lower city, and the prisoners are also active in their work because of the benefits, and some prisoners who have not completed their sentences have been released early because of their active work.

This is a system that Serena has established since she came to the Windwind, and the trial in Wende City has already yielded a good result, as long as the model in Wende City is copied to other cities.

However, as Bishop William said, most of the nobles were stubborn, and whether they would accept such a model was still a question.

The maid felt as helpless as Bishop William now, and his helplessness was that such a good method could not be practiced elsewhere, and if she could, then the divine power of the rich girl would certainly be enhanced, while her own helplessness lay in the minds of those nobles, like stones in a pit—smelly and hard.

Walking out of the Temple of Fortune with an unwilling Edith, Serena sighed again.

Unlike ordinary mages, she doesn't need to re-prepare spells, which is a golden finger, which gives her a lot more time than ordinary mages, and she can also get the 'Book of Wisdom' to help with studying spells, so she has more energy to spend on the affairs of the Grief Leader.

That stupid dragon can't take care of things, and it is simply a stupid idea to let a five-colored dragon with a chaotic nature manage a territory, although he is also using his own methods to help her solve problems, but for the problem of the sad wind leader, it is just a drop in the bucket.

The knights were their last line of defense, and the situation wasn't so bad that Cervantes didn't need to follow the old duke's example and try to hold up the entire Tempest with his own strength.

The first 'three-year development plan for the Sad Wind Leader' has been made, but the actual situation is somewhat different from the forecast......

At the end of the day, it's still a lack of money!

However, the envoy from the royal capital is also almost here, and the knight of Tosolo has already returned yesterday, so presumably the envoy of His Majesty the king should be about the same.

The banquet can't be done, and this kind of laborious and laborious activity can still be done with the current sad wind? Sure enough, I still want to think of an ingenious welcome ceremony—as long as it doesn't cost money!

Serena was thinking, and Edith was thinking.

She had gone to Downtown to recruit workers, and the enthusiasm of the people in Downtown for the new job frightened her, and it was only then that she realized that there were still so many people who did not have a regular job.

After practice, I realized that what Sister Serena was doing was far more tiring than she had imagined, perhaps because she was 'too stupid', but just the work that Sister Serena assigned to her almost made her breathless.

One job is definitely more tiring than many jobs, and managing the sad wind is far from being as simple as she imagined.

She was thinking, since the Sad Wind Leader can build a factory, can it build other factories?

There is no need for long-term benefits, as long as it can cover the current economic deficit!

"Farm tool sales!"

The head maid who was inspecting Wende City breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered sideways, "Let's go back and talk about it, there is something inappropriate here." ”

These days of cultivation have finally paid off, although it has only been a little more than a month, but Serena thinks that with Edith's mind and the education she has received, she should be able to make some 'judgments'.

After returning to the lord's mansion, Edith, who couldn't hold back, said: "The sale of farm tools is not to sell finished products, but to sell the production methods of farm tools!"

Because agricultural tools are either very simple to make and easy to imitate, or they are bulky and difficult to transport, it is better to sell production methods and drawings directly than to sell agricultural tools.

Sooner or later, these farm tools will be announced to the world, this is a world with spells, and it is not too difficult to disassemble and imitate, rather than waiting for depreciation, it is better to sell the drawings while they are still valuable.

Serena smiled and nodded, and said, "Do whatever you want, I won't stop you." ”

This sentence is equivalent to a compliment for Edith, because it means that she has helped Sister Serena!

Edith smiled happily, "Yes, Sister Serena!"
