Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

On the 20rd day of Winter No. [-], [-], the star calendar of Redrath Continent, King Peters I of the Orc Empire announced his abdication, and Princess Diana succeeded to the throne. He was known as Peters II and Queen Diana in history. , the enlightened and great Larson the Great and Adams the Great are equally famous.

At the same time, most of the officials and important ministers in the palace were transferred, promoted or adjusted, and Diana soon had a group of excellent and loyal cronies.

In the chamber.

Diana casually put the dazzling crown aside, and on the table was a map covering the Orc Empire, the sea, and the southeast, including the dwarves.

"The Southeastern Alliance has reshuffled the cards, focusing on kobolds, and is preparing to establish a humanoid joint tribe." The former member of the wolf faction and the current prime minister said: "The goblins seem to be practicing with them and are willing to provide them with support."

Another minister said: "I think we should now compromise and give in to the alliance. The empire is isolated and helpless. Years of war have consumed a lot of resources. The people expect a peaceful and peaceful life."

"You're right." Diana raised her head: "But the people look forward to a strong country that the enemy dare not offend. The war will not stop, and we cannot hope for the benevolence of the enemy."

"Everyone, I want to know your opinion."

"A country that strives to develop without an army to protect it will sooner or later have its wealth plundered."

"The state's financial pressure is very high..."

"We should warn the goblins first, or let the dwarves find something for them to do."

"Please pay attention to the enemies appearing from the sea..."

"Wars cost people money. In fact, the economic system that has supported wars for many years has done a lot of harm to the people. We have a lot of money to spend on buying weapons. There are very few mines in the empire. We can't use wood to fight the enemy."

"The fruits of victory are right in front of us, but don't we even have the courage to reach out?" Diana said calmly: "The war has already begun. The humanoid joint tribe invaded the border of the empire yesterday. They were not looking for money, but to test The attitude of the empire."

She waved her hand, and with a burst of clear and decisive footsteps, Evelia, who was wearing a long dress and embellished with jewels, entered the chamber. She bowed and said, "I am Evelia Degar, A friend of the Queen, and a friend of the Orc Empire."

Behind her was Aldrich in black armor, with the winter wind hanging from his waist. Although the ministers didn't know Evelia, at least they had heard of Aldrich. He performed well in Diana's coup. very active.

The ministers looked at the two humans with complicated expressions.

"On behalf of the Degal family, I will provide support for the unification war of the orc empire." Evelia said with a smile: "I wish the orc empire a victory."

Afterwards, they discussed about the Degal family's economic assistance to the empire. At the same time, the orc empire will also open the door to the Degar family's business activities in the empire.This is a matter of mutual benefit, Diana wants to develop business and establish economic ties with the entire Redras continent.In fact, Diana and Evelia had reached a consensus long ago, and this time it was just a formal agreement.

After the meeting, the ministers filed out, and Diana sat down: "If we can re-establish friendly relations with humans...do you think it is possible?"

Evelia said: "Isn't this a good thing?" She was not familiar with the history of the Northern Alliance betraying the Orc Empire 100 years ago.From a businessman's point of view, there are no permanent enemies in this world, only eternal interests, and the whole world is friends, so it is easy to do business in the world.Unlike politicians, businessmen don't care about the other party's position as long as they cooperate to gain benefits.

For politicians, sometimes position is everything.

Aldrich is very familiar with this period of history, and Noah has also told him about these things.

"I think the Northern Alliance is possible. The Orc Empire is bordered by the Northern Alliance, and there is a common crisis, the beast tide-but it is impossible in the South." Aldrich said: "However, the Northern Alliance itself is not monolithic. There were skirmishes, and the Union had fewer rights than what was stated in the contract."

Diana smiled and said, "Then I just need to win over a few kings."

After they left the chamber, they returned to their temporary residence. Only Noah was studying the books, and Julian ran away without a trace.

"Where's Julian?" Evelia asked.

"He went out excitedly with his magic potion early this morning." Noah said, "He said he wanted to do some big business."

Evelia said: "This is really rare. Since he came to the Beastman Empire, he seems to have become a hibernating rabbit. He can only hide in his den and shiver, listless all day long - when will he come back? "

"I don't know, but it's getting dark, and he should be back soon." After all, Julian seemed like the kind of boy who would come home on time.

His voice was bare, and Julian's voice came from the door.

"I am back."

Evelia turned her head and looked over, and saw Julian drooping his head, shoulders shrugged, eyes drooping, and he shuffled into the house listlessly. His body was full of magic potions, and he seemed to be carrying a mountain. rabbit.

"You failed in business?" Noah asked casually.

"Big-fa-fail!" Julian dragged his voice: "It's just too shameful."

When he said this, Evelia immediately became interested: "What business?"

Julian took out the magic potion on his body, found a potted plant and put it on the table, and then poured the magic potion into the potted plant.

They waited for a while, but there was no change in the potted plants.

Evelia smiled slightly: "Are you performing watering?"

"This is a growth potion!" Julian said angrily: "It can shorten the growth time of crops, and it will not have any impact on the crops, whether it is taste or nutrition!"

"I can't see it."

"The mature crops in one month can be reduced to about 25 days. Of course it can't be seen in such a short period of time."

"Is there no such immediate effect?"

"That's a god!" Julian said, "Like the god of loops, manipulating time and making crops ripen instantly."

"So he is the God of Harvest." Looking at Julian's unhappy expression, Evlia asked, "Is this the potion you want to sell? Didn't it sell? Impossible, shorten the growth time by five days , which is very profitable for farmers.”

She quickly calculated the income of one mu of land shortened by five days, which can almost change the production capacity of the empire.

"I don't understand either," Julian said annoyedly. "I've been selling all day..."

Noah said casually, "Because you sold it too expensive."

"A bottle is only [-] gold coins, is it expensive?" Julian was not convinced: "Let's not talk about my research and development costs, the cost of this medicine itself is almost [-], I don't want to make money at all, I just want to use it. The magic really changed their lives. Over the years, I finally understood that food production is the most important thing for the people..."

"What do you understand?" Evelia grabbed his long hair, and the silver-gray hair poured out of her hands like water: "You only have white hair."

Julian: "?!"

"Cost, consider the cost of everything. And you are not doing business, you are doing charity." Evelia said: "How can ordinary people spend five thousand gold coins to buy your potion."

"But if they use potions, their income will definitely exceed [-] gold coins! I told them exactly!"

"So what, they can't get the money at all. Exchange your knowledge and products with other people's gold coins at equal value, it's not a business at all."

Noah added: "Selling a product that costs [-] gold coins for [-] gold coins is a business. You are simply selling your knowledge."

Aldrich quickly said: "Wait, you have already deceived Noah!"

Julian: "So what?"

"Only wise people can see long-term benefits, and those who can see may not be able to pay for it." Evelia said: "The target of your sales is wrong. The people who need the medicine the most are not the farmers, but the farmers." It is our King."

Julian looked at her eagerly.

"Diana understands the value of it. She must like this potion very much. If the crop production capacity of the orc empire increases, they will have more resources to develop other aspects. This is something that can change the national strength." Evelia said slowly Said: "We can sell these medicines to her at a high price, and she will sell them to the people at a low price, and recover the cost through taxation. More taxes."

Aldrich said: "However, the current economy of the empire is already stretched. Even Diana may not be able to spend so much money for a while."

"It's impossible for her not to buy this kind of thing. If she can't, she can buy some for trial use, or choose to borrow money." Large loans, this is Earl Degar's old business.Evelia smiled slightly, and added: "If it were me, I would even buy out the right to use it. After that, Julian will prohibit the sale of this magical potion to other countries..."

Julian sternly refused: "I made this potion to make everyone..."

He paused and didn't say any more.

In order for everyone to be able to eat, it's okay to think about this kind of thing, but if you say it, it's arrogant and shameful, and even he can't say it.

"Monopoly can indeed make a lot of money, but it may lead to bad consequences." Noah said suddenly: "But, Julian, I've seen you have this potion before, why don't you sell it to humans, but choose beasts? ?”

The author has something to say: Ahhhh!
