Chapter 259: The Beginning of Change
"Sister Serena, the hoarded goods have been counted and the statistics have been sorted out, where do you need me to put them?"
Edith earnestly hugged the cargo statistics to her chest and asked respectfully.
"Well, let's put it there first!"
The maid casually pointed to the corner of the table next to her elbow, as it was still empty, so that she could look through it when she was done with the work at hand.
Although the cargo statistics are also important, she can take care of the work at hand and then look through it, which is not in the way.
"Yes!"
Edith walked around the table, walked over to the maid, and gently put down the statistics, and her hair, which had turned blonde but not as bright as Latinia's, quietly drooped and was brushed behind her ears.
Similar to her brother, but more pure, there seemed to be a fire burning in her golden eyes, and hidden under her tall body was a pure and huge vitality.
The body temperature is higher than that of ordinary people, so even now that the weather is gradually getting cooler, her clothes are still thin, and although her face is ruddy and healthy, it is also very worrying that she will catch a cold because of this.
The girl is in the growth period, and under the stimulation of the dragon blood, her body is getting taller and taller, and the curves of her body are slowly emerging.
Edith's identity and appearance have caused her a lot of trouble, such as those suitors she has never liked - those playboys!
She had long been tired of those people's pursuits, but the cultivation of the nobles told her that she could not reject them so clearly, and she had to be as tactful as possible, so that those suitors could reject them without losing face.
If it weren't for her mother's constant reminders, she would have knocked those playboys to the ground one by one, although her mother hadn't reminded her much of these things recently, but she had been like this for more than ten years before, where could she change so easily?
Without saying a word, she stood beside the maid and quietly watched 'Sister Serena' work.
'If those guys were half as good as Sister Serena's, I'd probably try to get along with them...... ' the girl thought to herself.
Then she thought about it, and quietly added in her heart: 'If I can have the same dedication as that stupid dragon, then I should try to have a relationship, right?'
Although she was disdainful on the surface, Edith still had full respect for Cervantes and her brother in her heart.
At least he had a 'dedication' that her suitors didn't have, and that alone was enough to impress her.
As a spellcaster, Edith had read the Book of Dragons and understood what kind of marriage these high predators had, more 'stingy' than 'free'.
Because they are stingy to the point where they can't share their wealth with their partners, dragons often don't have a stable mate relationship, and most of them give birth to children and give them to one party to educate them, and the other party doesn't care, and even more so in color dragons, they don't care about either party, so they let the cubs fend for themselves.
It is because I understand that I admire it.
Although Cervantes is a freak, a freak among the dragons, to be able to do his kind must have crossed a lot of psychological barriers......
Edith stood by and thought wildly, but the maid had already picked up the statistics and looked through them.
Armor, candlesticks, lamps, lanterns, stirrups, horseshoes......
Silk, paper, books, seeds, farm tools......
Dragon scales, dragon blood, dragon bones, dragon teeth......
"Phew!"
Seeing this, even the maid couldn't help but gasp.
The number of goods counted was so large that it could drive the goddess of wealth crazy, and these goods were hoarded in warehouses, although they were released in small quantities every month, but after the factories in Wende City gradually entered the industrialization, almost half of the resources of the Sad Wind Collar were mobilized here, and most of the goods produced were piled up in the warehouses to prepare for the maid's plans.
But even the maid herself did not expect that this number would be so large, so large that she was a little hesitant to carry out this plan.
Her purpose is to use these goods to storm the market, in order to achieve the goal of bringing down the entire business of Sloe Mendes, and short-sighted merchants and nobles will not let their goods rot in their hands, but they will never immediately reduce the price and sell it, I am afraid that after learning the news, they will immediately raise the price, and sell all the goods in their hands before the 'wave' comes, and they really can't sell it, and only after this 'monstrous wave' comes, they will never let the goods rot in their hands.
Only by collapsing the market will it be more convenient and easier to reinvent it.
In the eyes of others, including the goddess of wealth, there seems nothing wrong with such a business, but in the eyes of the maid, such a market economy is deformed and unhealthy.
The aristocracy has a large amount of assets, but does not consume it, and will often hoard wealth, which is not convenient for wealth circulation and can easily lead to class closure.
What the maid has to do is to keep the hoarded goods into the market of Slo Mendes, so that they can understand the power of 'industrialization'.
After selling goods on a large scale, the nobles and merchants had money in their hands, and weapons, armor, farm tools, etc., were the things that could attract their attention, and if the quality was good and the price was low, they would definitely choose to buy in large quantities, and then laugh at her for being a fool after buying.
And silk is something that can make everyone crazy, when the silk of the sad wind collar officially enters the market, everyone will be crazy, this is the big money to make money, and it is also the main force to bring down the market.
Of course, the maid knew that the nobles had a lot of money in their hands, and it was absolutely impossible to empty the nobles' pockets with only the things that Wende City had industrialized for half a year, even if the silk could be sold at a shocking high price as much as possible, but the market of the entire continent was very huge, and it was not easy to bring it down.
But 'business' is a thing that is sometimes very strong, and sometimes it can only maintain a fragile balance.
Because of the backwardness of transportation, the commercial backwardness of the whole continent means 'slow response', so in a sense, Sloe Mendes's commercial system can be said to be 'very strong'.
No matter what happens, the slow reaction - like two dominoes far apart, the world, or even just in a kingdom, each territory can achieve basic self-sufficiency, so it would be a joke to want to bring down the commerce of an entire continent in this situation, because there is simply no way to trigger a chain reaction.
It is precisely because it cannot be done now that the maid has made such a plan!
First through these hoarded goods, the capital chain of merchants and nobles will be weakened, and then the phenomenon of prices will gradually drop all over the world, this phenomenon will last for about a year or two, because not only Wende City, but also the rest of the Sadwind Territory is ready to start, this time the maid has also added a lot of magic machinery to the resource mining area, so that they can work faster and safer to mine resources.
At the same time, the maid will buy raw materials elsewhere, no matter how high the price is, as long as it is not more than one and a half times the current market price.
After that, the things that are continuously produced from the factory will continue to be put into the market, and the outside funds will continue to be brought into their arms, but not many people will find that they will sell the 'resources' they have in their hands to the Sorrowful Wind Collar at a 'high price', and then use the 'low price' to buy those 'good quality and good value for money' goods, and will 'take advantage' while laughing at the 'Sad Wind Leader's maid is so smart, but he has planted a heel in such a place'...... Of course, short-sighted aristocrats and businessmen simply could not see what was hidden behind them.
During this period, due to the emergence of large transactions, the use of 'coinage' was not very convenient, and equivalents such as 'gems' would also be 'rejected' - because the Sadwind Leader used the new currency 'Tia' issued by the Church of Wealth!
Because this new type of currency was issued all over the continent, perhaps the merchants and nobles would be puzzled, and even more presumptuous when mocked—that 'a piece of paper' could be exchanged for gold and silver?
But because of the relationship between the Sad Wind Leader, they had to use paper money to trade with the Sad Wind Leader, and after a year or two, they tasted the sweetness and got used to this kind of life, the commerce of the whole continent was like a piece of glass, which looked very beautiful, but as long as it fell to the ground, it would ......
'Bang' and shatter!
"What a sinful woman I am......"
The maid chuckled, took out a letter that had been prepared, signed her name, and stamped it.
She handed the letter to Edith and chuckled, her eyes shining with confidence.
"Go, from now on, the world is going to change!"
Edith looked at it intoxicatedly, then reacted and respectfully accepted the letter......
"Yes, Sister Serena!"
