Chapter 33: Ways to Solve the Dilemma
"That woman ......," Viscount Cod sniffed intoxicatedly at the mellow aroma of the aged wine in the cup, with a look of disdain, "after all, she is just a woman, very capable, but too short-sighted." ”
Baron Garle, who was sitting in another soft chair, shook his head and said, "What if she has a solution? ”
"Sir Galle, you are too cautious, you will not be able to accomplish great things by scruples of this and that. ”
The young Baron Naheim poured a glass of wine for Baron Garle, who was at least thirty years older than him, from his family's cellar, to celebrate the imminent fall of the chief maid.
Wende City's capital chain is about to be broken, and they are working hard to 'attract investment' for their city and town, and have made some small contributions to the breaking of Wende City's capital chain.
Baron Galle has already boarded the thief ship, and no matter what he says, he has already done it, and now whatever he says or does, it is only hypocrisy.
However, they probably knew that by doing so, they had diverted Wende City, and although those merchants came to their cities and towns to drive local consumption, they also gave Wende City a chance to breathe.
"Now they're just barely surviving. Baron Naheim raised his glass and toasted the two knights beside him, "I must get back the humiliation she gave me!"
Baron Naheim's face was gloomy, and he drank the wine from his glass.
Baron Galle sighed silently, took a sip of his wine, absent-minded.
Viscount Cod did not speak, looked at the gloomy Baron Naheim, and then at the silent Baron Garle, and said nothing.
The three of them, in fact, have never been united, and each has a ghost.

In the city lord's office at the town hall, Edith worriedly made a report to the head maid of the Sadwind family, who was sitting in that position.
"Agricultural farming methods such as ridge farming and fertilizer have not been effective quickly, and it may take a few years to draw accurate conclusions, but according to statistics, the yield of potatoes harvested this year has increased. Business ......"
Edith looked embarrassed and said, "The tax has begun to decline, compared to the nine thousand gold coins last month, the tax amount this month is eight thousand three hundred gold coins. ”
"Really?" the maid smiled, "It's already going down......"
Infected by Serena's smile, Edith felt like she had taken a reassuring pill, temporarily put her mind at ease, and continued to make a report as the 'acting city lord': "Until the end of yesterday's statistics, thirty-seven people have moved into Wende City in the first half of this month and settled in the new city, which is on the rise compared with the middle and late last month......"
The maid listened to the report, and from time to time pointed out some questions for Edith to elaborate on.
At the same time, she also looked at her student and sister-in-law with satisfied eyes, Edith's learning speed was very satisfactory to her, it could be seen that she was very labor-intensive, very hard-working, although the reason for her efforts made her feel a little headache, but she was thriving.
“...... Above, these are the statistical reports for the first half of this month. ”
After the report, Edith breathed a sigh of relief, and her already tense spirit relaxed.
The maid tapped her index finger on the table, and she asked, "Edith, what do you think of us selling the cement?"
Edith was stunned, then startled, and said in a lost voice: "Cement, do you want to sell it?"
'Cement', which is a very novel and convenient building material, the production method is in the hands of the tragic wind, and at present, only Wende City has cement pavement and cement buildings.
Edith knew what that meant by selling the cement, but on second thought, they really didn't have anything to attract them now, nothing but 'cement'.
The reformist dwarves had come to negotiate with them, and the price offered by the dwarves made Edith almost agree to it, but Sister Serena was disappointed to turn down the deal.
Because that's 10,000 gold worth of gems and minerals!
Among them, the 'Angel Heart' positive energy gem is even more precious, and it is so big and beautiful, if the stupid dragon was present at that time, it would definitely agree on the spot.
The Dwarven Renovators were once willing to pay so much for 'cement', but now ......
"It's just that if you have money, you can't do anything. Serena shook her head and stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the streets of the new town through a wall, "Even if we have money in our hands, we can't buy anything if we don't have channels." I wanted to run Winde City as the core of a business network, so I wanted connections and channels more than money. ”
After the old city wall was completely demolished, the old town was already in contact with the new city when it was looked like this.
After that, the new town will slowly erode the old town - she will slowly transform the old town little by little, into what she had in mind.
Up to now, the method of making cement can no longer be sold for a large price, but it can still be sold for one or two hundred gold coins.
It seemed unwise for her to do so, as if she was making a last-ditch effort to save the sad wind leader who was about to fall silent, and it seemed really 'ugly' - the left and right were just dying and struggling.
But in this world, how many people can understand her?
Even the stupid dragon couldn't understand her thoughts, he was just blindly supporting her......
"That's right!" the maid suddenly turned her head and asked, "Edith, do you want to know what your brother has been up to lately?"
Seeing the slanting sunlight shining on Serena's sister, setting off her confidence, Edith couldn't help but have her heart beating faster, her cheeks crimson, and more than one bold thought in her heart.
"He ......"
............
Cervantes drove the kobolds to take out their treasures, in short, robbery.
Naturally, the Grim Wind Leader was not poor enough to let him come to the Black Forest to rob these humanoids, he was now just following the maid's orders...... Request action only.
The innate bloodline coercion made the kobold tremble, and the shaman of this tribe even knelt on his knees, constantly kowtowing to the black dragon, begging the black dragon to let them go, and they were willing to serve the black dragon Lord Yunyun.
Cervantes didn't look down on them, he had the territory of a duke led by Sadness, and the people were even more than 100,000, and he could earn more money every day than these kobolds had collected for ten years.
Kobolds, like dragons, were fond of collecting gems and coins, and when they piled up what they thought were 'treasures' in front of Cervantes, Cervantes opened his eyes, and then his eyes lit up.
"Hahaha, finally found it!"
Cervantes picked up a few pieces of gold ore between his two fingers, which, although unrefined, reflected a dazzling glow in the sunlight – at least to Cervantes' eyes.
The gold mine that my father mentioned does exist!
He had known about the existence of gold mines in the Black Forest a few months ago, about fifty miles from Watchtown, and according to the old duke's description, the gold mine was not too far from the sad wind leader, but due to the limitation of manpower, the problem of the gold mine had been put on hold, and until his death, the old duke could not rest assured about this matter.
The gold mine was a secret between him and the knights, and he never spoke of it to anyone else.
The promise made by King Krylov I to the old duke was that 'your territory can be expanded infinitely into the Black Forest, and even after my death, this promise will remain until the day when the kingdom of Kolo falls'......
The black dragon couldn't figure out these things, but he knew that he had completed the task given to him by the maid, and the Grim Wind Leader would be able to harvest more gold coins!
Excitedly looking up to the sky and roaring, the black dragon flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
He couldn't wait to see more gold coins - because just before that, the maid had offered him the position of 'treasurer'.
If the Storm Leader can make more money, then he will be able to see more shiny, cute gold coins.
