Chapter 34: Just Looking Down on It
In fact, the bulletin board has appeared in this world for a long time, but no one can think of this kind of usage - the tax rate is posted openly, and the demand and specialty are explained, and in doing so, it is easy to be hit by the economic aspect, as long as there are people who want to deal with the sad wind, it is indeed not very difficult.
But that was only at the beginning, it wasn't very difficult, and now if someone wants to deal with the Sad Wind Leader and hinder the economic development of the Sad Wind Leader, it will be dozens of times more difficult than at the beginning.
The only information that Edith can collect is within the Grim Wind Territory, and it is not difficult to collect information from other territories.
Information is time-sensitive, and it takes a lot of time to collect information and send it back, and when the message is sent back to the sad wind leader, the timeliness of this information is also over.
Therefore, the information that can be provided on the bulletin board is only the tax rate, specialties and needs of the Sad Wind Collar.
Up to now, the Sad Wind Collar is not so much the core of a business network as a sales and acquisition place, and it is not even qualified to be a transit station.
This didn't fit Serena's vision, and making Windwind, or Windecity, the core of a business network, was just one of the goals of her plan.
Commerce in the continent of Slo Mendes follows the rule of 'two points and one line' - the place of departure, the destination, and the trade route.
Buying at the point of departure, selling at the destination, selling as you go, and passing through a town for several days, where the caravan would replenish and replenish the cargo.
The trade routes on the mainland are all tested and explored little by little, so those merchants will come to the Sad Wind Territory to do business, mainly attracted by the low tax rate and relatively precious specialties of the Sad Wind Territory.
They came to the Sadwind Territory from all over the mainland, creating a temporary false prosperity of the Sadwind Leader, but when the Sadwind Leader's spending limit reaches the upper limit, such a grand occasion will quickly disappear, and the Sadwind Leader will decline, become poor again, or even worse.
At the beginning of the plan, the gold mines and the 'cement' on the outskirts of the Black Forest were in Serena's plan.
At the beginning, she had expected that there would be such a problem, most of the people in this world were still relatively conservative, and the journey from all over the mainland to the Sorrowful Wind Territory was far from being called a 'trade route', and they didn't even know the situation on the way, so in order to keep the goods from being devalued, they could only go all the way from the place of departure to the destination, and they would not try to buy or sell except for the necessities of life along the way.
The development of trade routes is a major event at any time, and it is precisely because we cannot act recklessly that we have the current situation.
In order to make money, the head maid of the Sad Wind family chose this kind of practice with great drawbacks, and the result was naturally that the economy of the Sad Wind Collar developed rapidly, but it also buried great hidden dangers.
But when she was making the plan, she had already thought of a solution.
First, use gold mines to attract adventurers, gather popularity for the Sadwind Leader, attract merchants, and use the power of adventurers to open up the Black Forest, prompting them to choose to settle in the Sadwind Territory;
Second, by selling the method of making cement, and allowing others to help them shorten the time it takes to travel between different places, and to let them help them build roads, so that the development of trade routes will no longer require the same amount of energy and money as before, in preparation for the opening of trade routes from all parts of the mainland to the Sorrowful Wind.
Only after the second point is completed, can the Sad Wind Collar be called the core of a business network.
Her ambition is not so simple, like moving a civilization to another world, ordinary people may not dare to think of it, but she dares.
She didn't have time to be a teacher, and neither did Cervantes and Edith, so she just asked Bishop Cole of the Church of the God of Knowledge to do her a favor and hire a few priests in the Church of the God of Knowledge who were studying Chinese characters to become Chinese teachers at the school.
The new city is under construction, the nobles will not give a copper for the new city that does not belong to them, all the money is taken out of the treasury of the Sad Wind family, Cervantes will always look distressed but helpless to watch the gold coins in the vault increase little by little, and then decrease little by little.
Economic development has entered a weak period, and it must be stimulated, otherwise the finances of the sad wind collar will enter a state of making ends meet, and it will only take a month, and the business that has just started in the sad wind collar will be silent again, like being thrown into a bottomless trench, and it can no longer be fished out.
However, the maid was prepared from the beginning, and this kind of problem naturally did not exist.

"That woman—"
Baron Naheim's grace was gone, and he roared in his study, breaking even the porcelain cup he had once loved.
After venting, Baron Naheim calmed down, glanced at the fragments of porcelain cups on the carpet, walked to the sofa in the study, and threw himself on it.
Sitting on the couch with ten fingers in his hair, Baron Naheim calmed himself down and began to think about it.
Where did the gold come from?
How did the woman find gold in the Black Forest?
But here is the most puzzling part, how did the woman know that there was a gold mine in the Black Forest?
Did she find the Arcane Empire period, or did an adventurer sell her the news?
Baron Naheim thought of the sudden increase in the number of adventurers in the Grim Wind Realm in the past few months, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a great possibility.
Because of the gold mine, the woman announced that "Duke Gyeongwind is about to lead a team to the gold mine to mine", and also said that "anyone who can go to the gold mine to mine, Gyeopy Wind will buy the gold ore at 120% of the market price".
According to the information received, in just half a day, more than 300 people had already gone to the city hall to sign up, and because of the example of these people, many people who were still waiting and watching hurriedly ran over to sign up.
Now that he didn't want to know the latest news, that only made him feel more angry.
Now that the situation has been completely reversed, the decline of the Sadness Wind family is gone, and there will be an injection of fresh blood in a few days, it can be said that the Sadness Wind family has been completely resurrected.
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, and Baron Naheim clenched his fists and punched the sofa hard—for he was afraid of pain.
He suddenly understood!
That woman, the maid of the Sorrowful Wind family, had never looked at them from beginning to end, and she looked down on them!
So when they were doing those little movements, she didn't react.
It's not that it's helpless, it's just that I look down on it, because it doesn't matter, so I don't even want to pay attention to it.
He inherited the title at the age of twenty-seven, and he can be regarded as a young and handsome man in the country of mages, because of his family education, he is even more proud, and he can show a personable appearance to people and things, but in fact, it is just that he is proud in his heart and inconvenient to talk about it with others.
He thought he was very smart, but he was looked down upon from the beginning, which made the proud Baron Naheim, although no one laughed at him, but he still felt his face hot.
Baron Naheim clenched his collar tightly, his face ugly and frightening.
"That woman ......"
The servants waiting outside the study did not hear their master gritting his teeth in the study.
Baron Naheim would never show his unbearability in front of outsiders, so he didn't know how 'unsightly' his master was now.
Baron Naheim pushed the door open and said to the servant who was guarding the door, "I accidentally knocked off the cup while I was drinking tea just now, go clean up." ”
A short time later, a horse-drawn carriage left the Naheim family's uptown villa and headed for the Cod Manor outside the city.
