I rely on black magic to build infrastructure [Comprehensive fairy tale]

Talented people come out of the Black Forest

Fran, who returned to the Black Forest with a large stack of agreement documents, found that there were too many people welcoming her this time.

Not to mention Snow White, who is bound to come, and Duke Stington, who is eagerly waiting for his god to return.

She raised a corner of the car curtain with a slight sense of misgiving, and glanced at Old Buck who was holding several parchment scrolls, and Duke Else who was holding another dozen papers that were covered with oil paint.

From Fran's carriage, a slender white hand slowly protruded and waved in Baixue's direction.

Her cub lifted the corner of her skirt knowingly and stepped into her carriage.

"Godmother Fran, you're finally back!" Bai Xue seemed full of words, but she obviously put the least important thing first, "Is your carriage a bit dark? I'll find someone to change it for you when I get back." Thinner car curtains..."

"No, I like such a dark car, it's convenient to rest when I'm sleepy on the road."

The fact that Fran's carriage was so dark was naturally due to the God of Darkness following her on the road.

Strange to say, Fran, who stayed in the country of Flora for another two days after the night she left the dream, never saw the God of Darkness again.

Even on the way back, he never looked for her again.

"Godmother, are these beside you...?" Bai Xue also noticed the parchment that Fran folded on the magic mirror.

The dark god is absent, and the magic mirror is too noisy.

Fran had to choose to press something on it to shut it up.

"Oh—you said this, that's just right!" Fran picked up the parchment from her side and folded it on her knees, "These are the agreements I signed with the country of Flora."

"Agreement...?" Bai Xue blinked ignorantly.

"This one is about the tax relief policy for our businessmen to do business in their country."

"This one is the grain trade agreement I signed with the country of Flora. Their country is rich in various spices, but the grain production is somewhat lacking, so we can send people to trade spices with them with grain."

"This one is a friendly agreement with the country of Flora. Basically, if our country needs help, they will do their best to help us unconditionally."

Fran handed one agreement after another to Bai Xue.

"This one is a negotiated list of handicraft products. It contains all the handicraft products in their country that can be sold to us. As long as we need them, they can be sold to us at a price that is one-third lower than other countries."

"and this……"

Bai Xue tried hard to remember the documents Fran handed her.

She seems to remember that the godmother went out this time to discuss the latest magic potion.

What's going on with these rest of the files?

The commoners of the Black Forest State have always been self-sufficient. In her father's time, she rarely did business abroad.

On the one hand, the people themselves can’t eat enough, and there is no surplus output to go out for trading. On the other hand, except for the nobles, other commoners have no savings at all, and businessmen from other countries are unwilling to trade at a loss.

The last time she heard her godmother say that the Valermanian country was willing to do business with them, Bai Xue was shocked enough.

These sudden agreements and contracts now make Bai Xue feel like she hasn't woken up yet.

Is this still the Black Forest country she knew?

"And the last one..." Fran's knee was finally free, "This is my demand order for Sweet Dreams aromatherapy, let's put it in your place first."

"...Okay... Oh my God! This order quantity?!" Bai Xue hadn't recovered yet, after taking the order and seeing the numbers on it, she froze for several seconds, "Is this order quantity real?"

She worked hard, earnestly, and concentrated on counting the numbers above again and again.

Fran didn't change her face: "People in their country have some sleep problems. I also made some publicity. This order volume is normal."

Although the curse from the God of Light has not yet been lifted, the music box and her aromatherapy are enough to make the citizens of Flora fall asleep peacefully.

The music box can uniformly make the people fall asleep at night, and the aromatherapy can make some people who want to rest take a nap and take a nap.

Diana is naturally willing to help Fran promote her magic aromatherapy.

But her "advertising" has been very successful.Now in the country of Flora, no one is ignorant of the magic potion of the Black Forest.

"Is it normal...?"

Looking at the godmother's calm expression, Bai Xue realized that she might have made too much fuss.

As the future empress, what is this little thing—she glanced down again—ah, it really is too much for her.

Freed from these nerve-wracking contract agreements and orders, Fran patted the non-existent dust on her knees with satisfaction, and finally got to the point.

"Bai Xue, what are those people outside up to?"

"Are they?" Bai Xue showed a sweet smile, "The soldiers guarding the city said that the Duke of Stington came early in the morning, and he seemed to have brought your maid Aka with him. This time, it seems to be true." come to welcome you."

Aka is a maid in the palace who has obtained her approval and can enter and leave the palace at will. After all, she needs to exchange information with Stington.

But last time, she used the excuse that Duke Stington came to see A-Ka instead of welcoming her, and escaped Xue Bai's reverie.

This time, the two of them packed up... It's not easy.

"He didn't come to greet me." Fran said firmly, "Maybe he is performing some kind of ceremony, the kind that must come to the city gate once a month."

Bai Xue:?

Before Bai Xue had time to ask, Fran changed the subject: "What about Mr. Buck?"

"You know that the basics of the School of Magic are almost ready. Mr. Barker is here to invite you to give a speech on the first day of the school day. It seems that he also specially brought you the recompiled textbook by the way."

Textbooks...

It's not that Fran doesn't want to look at it, but just the ones in Buck's hands are enough to give her a headache for several nights.

With the blessing of the fairy witch's body, she has a unique comprehension in the study of dark magic, so the text is too boring for her to be honest.

She is more inclined to explain and practice the dark god.

After this thought crossed her mind, Fran quickly shook her head.

Those painful study days are still vivid in her mind, she can't involve herself in this way.

"Then what happened to Duke Else?" Fran asked.

"The Duke of Else is not actually here to greet you." Bai Xue hesitated to speak, "...in fact, he is here to distribute leaflets."

Fran: "Flyers?"

"Just a few days ago, Lord Stington announced the list of designs selected for your pharmacy product logo. It seems that the Duke of Else has also won an award called an encouragement award. He is very happy these days and drew some publicity by himself. Order, to help you promote the product. It is said that almost every household has distributed it, so he targeted the foreign visitors and businessmen entering and leaving the city gate."

Fran: "..."

It seems that there is such a thing.

For the sake of absolute justice, she would naturally not adopt Elsey's design casually.

Originally, she considered taking care of the painters in the Black Forest, and asked Stington to choose more designs and pay some bounties.

The Duke of Else was thus grouped among these painters.

"As long as the painting is not bad, you can give a small reward. This part is called the encouragement award." Fran seemed to say so at the time.

Fran glanced outside at the Duke of Else, who was diligently handing out leaflets, and made up his mind: never tell the concept of the Duke's Encouragement Award.

She told the coachman to continue driving, ignoring the people outside.

But obviously, people outside will not ignore her.

"His Royal Highness Fran." The Duke of Stington followed the carriage and knocked on the carriage twice.

Fran had to raise the curtain a little.

"Ahem." Duke Stington lowered his voice mysteriously, "Is your lord with you?"

"Didn't your lord come back early?" Franben guessed that the Dark God had probably returned, "If not, I wouldn't know."

Duke Stington stopped in his tracks.

Lord Dark God was not with His Royal Highness Fran, nor did he come to look for him. Did he find a new trustworthy believer?

For example, Aka mentioned the lady named Anna Sui.

The Duke of Stington, who became more and more frustrated as he thought about it, lowered his head and was left behind by the carriage.

"Master Flan, my lord!" Another person followed the carriage.

Fran had to turn her gaze out of the window again.

Old Buck was running with a few books in his hands: "My lord, this is the 32nd edition of the textbook I revised. Maybe you can take a look at it? I asked other tutors to read it, and they didn't have any objections, especially the content of Chapter 5." , about the dark elemental magic, you... oops!"

A book fell to the ground.

"You can have someone send the book to the palace, it doesn't have to be so hard." Fulan took the opportunity to interject and closed the curtain.

Before it was fully covered, a piece of paper was stuffed outside the curtain.

It reads [Black Forest Magic Potion, Your Beautiful Choice], and in the middle is a bottle of magic medicine box drawn with paint.

The designer probably felt that the flyer was too spacious, so he deliberately painted various creative patterns around it.

Outside the carriage, the Duke of Else was being persuaded by two soldiers to back away because things were stuffed into the carriage without warning.

"The most popular magic potion in the Black Forest, remember to buy it." Duke Else had to finish his sentence. "By the way, this leaflet is from the most famous master painter in the Black Forest, Else."

Elsie's voice was still echoing, and someone's footsteps came from behind the carriage.

The footsteps followed closely behind, like a servant following a carriage.

Fran: "Who is this?"

Bai Xue faltered and said: "Maybe it's Chamu... As you know, he has been protecting me by my side and practicing swordsmanship every day. Now there is no swordsman in the palace who is his opponent."

Fran: "...Our country of the Black Forest is really full of talents."

……

When Fran thought that the Black Forest Country was on the right track at this moment, she found that Baixue still had something to say, and her face was tangled.

After asking, I found out that during her absence, the country encountered another trouble.

That is - no money.

Since she didn't need to consider the food issue, Fran focused on the construction of the Black Forest State.

She suggested strengthening walls and houses, repairing main roads and land to make it easier for business people to come and go.

Before leaving, she gave these to Bai Xue.

At that time, Baixue was very confident, but it was only after she took stock of the kingdom's property that she realized that the treasury was already clinking poor.

Although some nobles spit out some of the money deducted from the kingdom, it is still not enough for the large-scale construction of the entire country.

"I always thought that father was not a luxurious person, but I realized that I might be wrong." Bai Xue blamed herself a little because of this incident.

It wasn't until she actually started sorting out the accounts of the past few years that she realized that the previous king, her father, spent more than "luxury" on food and drink.

There is nothing wrong with the country being rich, but she has witnessed the poverty of the past few years.

"Godmother Fran, we have to suspend work for some reconstruction work." Bai Xue said with a dejected face.

She knew that although Godmother Fran was doing business with other countries, this was the godmother's income and had nothing to do with the country.

Moreover, the business has just started, and the godmother also bought the Magic Academy, so it is impossible to have extra funds to lend to the country for transitional purposes.

"No need."

Unexpectedly, after listening to her story, Fran was not in a hurry.

"There are so many wealthy nobles in our country, how could they be short of money?"

Bai Xue was confused: "You mean, ask those nobles to borrow money first?"

Fran shook her head: "This is not called borrowing, this is called financing."
