My Pokémon Player

"Lord Baron, please persist. I believe that sooner or later, the people will understand your approach."

Herman spoke to console him.

At this point, he could only comfort Lancaster with these empty words.

In fact, both of them knew very well that unless they stopped squeezing the people, the people would never understand their actions.

But in order to meet the needs of Guanhai City merchants, they could only sacrifice the interests of the people.

"I said, there is no need to comfort me. Do you, like others, think that I am a fool lord who knows nothing and only knows how to have fun?"

Lancaster's tone was filled with resentment. It was obvious that although he said he didn't care, he actually cared about what others thought of him.

"No, no, I definitely don't have this idea. Others don't know you. I don't know you yet. After you took over as the lord, you have been working hard to develop the territory, but..."

"It's just no use, is it?"

Lancaster smiled bitterly. As a lord, hard work alone is of no use. Without talent and ability, no matter how hard you work, it will be useless.

Just like after he took over as the lord, he was dealing with government affairs every day and didn't even have time to take care of his favorite flowers and plants.

However, the results were very poor. Instead of getting better, Qiangwei Town even became weaker and weaker, and became more and more dependent on the protection of Guanhai City.

"This is not your responsibility alone."

Herman's words were not to comfort Lancaster, he was telling the truth.

The decline of Rose Town to its current state was not caused by Lancaster alone, but had a lot to do with the inaction of the previous lords.

Ever since Rose Town took refuge in Guanhai City, the previous lords felt that with the protection of Guanhai City, they could sit back and relax and did not develop their territory at all, only focusing on their own fun.

Little did they know that in this chaotic era, standing still was equivalent to regressing, not to mention that several of the lords had lost a lot of territorial interests for better enjoyment.

In their hands, Rose Town, let alone development, was even worse than when it was first established.

By the time Lancaster took over, Rosetown was already in deep trouble, and the legacy of its legacy was beyond repair.

Faced with this mess, although Lancaster wanted to develop the territory and make Rose Town strong again, he was powerless. Some of the reform measures he took not only failed to improve Rose Town, but also caused complaints from the residents.

After experiencing several blows, Lancaster completely realized that he did not have the talent to be a lord. If you asked him to take care of the flowers and plants, he would definitely cultivate the flowers and plants very well. But if you ask him to develop the territory, I'm sorry. He really can't do it.

Lancaster is very self-aware of himself. Compared with his father and previous lords, his ability is not strong. Even if they are defeated, then why is he still struggling?

So he canceled the reform measures and restored the original system, which began to fall apart.

Not to mention the result, the citizens immediately stopped complaining, and it felt really good to be in a mess. He only had to deal with some government affairs every day, and he didn't have to do anything else. .

But this is not without cost. Their Qiangwei Town is becoming more and more dependent on Guanhai City. If Guanhai City stops trading with them one day, Qiangwei Town's economy will collapse in a few days.

This is the lightest of the consequences. The most serious consequence is that their territory is directly annexed by other territories and completely becomes a part of other territories.

Although Lancaster was ruined, he did not want to lose the long-standing family territory in his own hands, so he could only place his hope in Guanhai City's protection.

In order to close the relationship with Guanhai City, he gave many privileges to the merchants of Guanhai City and made considerable concessions in terms of commodity prices.

Every time a merchant comes to trade, regardless of his status, he will personally meet him, just to show his sincerity to Guanhai City.

This shows that Lancaster is really not stupid. He knows very well that since the entire Rose Town depends on the breath of Guanhai City for survival, he cannot show off his noble status and has to lower his position.

These businessmen are used to running into trouble with other nobles. If they meet a noble like him who has a good attitude towards businessmen, they will undoubtedly develop a favorable impression of him.

He relied on this method to maintain his relationship with Guanhai City. This was one of the few things he could do for the territory.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these things. This businessman named Tom is very likely to be the descendant of a certain high-ranking member of the Chamber of Commerce. This transaction may also be for gold plating, otherwise he would not choose our Rose Town."

"After all, everyone knows that we in Rose Town are the most talkative. That's why he opened his mouth like a lion and bargained so much at once just to achieve results."

Baron Lancaster pondered.

"But we can't be sure whether he is really a descendant of a high-ranking person, and even if he is, our loss this time will be too great."

Herman frowned. He was in charge of the territory's finances and was very sensitive to this aspect.

Although there are many specialties in Qiangwei Town, their income is not as much as expected. In order to close the relationship with Guanhai City, they have kept the prices of the goods extremely low, not much higher than the cost price.

In addition, sometimes they have to give some benefits to the Guanhai City Chamber of Commerce and set aside a sum of money to buy food. After all, they have a lot of farmland used to grow roses.

Adding up these miscellaneous things, their annual financial expenditure is very large, not counting the taxes they have to pay to the earl.

Although they had taken refuge in Guanhai City and were almost expelled from the aristocratic circle, they still did not dare to offend Earl Cross, who had even their backers beaten by the Earl.

Therefore, the financial pressure on Qiangwei Town is still quite high. If the price of Moo Moo Fresh Milk is further reduced, their income will be reduced a lot.

"I have no choice but to take a gamble. If he really has contact with the top leaders of the Chamber of Commerce and can say a few good words for us, then these losses will be nothing."

"And I've said it before, this price reduction is a gift to Tom. There's no such thing as a gift that can be given all the time."

Lancaster was still a little clever and deliberately left some room in his words.

"I understand what you mean, but I'm afraid that those greedy businessmen will seize the price this time."

Herman worried that those businessmen would do anything for their own benefit. Others might care about face, but businessmen would not.

"There are always risks in gambling and we have no choice."

Lancaster said helplessly that compared to the risk of losing profits, they could not accept the risk of offending the senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Well, since we have decided to lower the price, there is no need to discuss these anymore."

"Yes, then I will go and direct the people to carry the fresh milk."

"Aren't you going to accompany those two businessmen?"

"Director Lance is accompanying them. They shouldn't need me, so I won't cause any trouble."

Herman had a worried expression on his face.

Lancaster knew what he was thinking. In fact, Herman had always looked down on those businessmen. He only knelt down to them for the sake of Rose Town. He wished he could stay away from those businessmen.

"Okay, then go ahead and let me know when they are leaving."

Lancaster would naturally not make things difficult for Herman. To be honest, he didn't want to see these businessmen. Every time he saw them, Lancaster would feel a sense of humiliation.

He received a noble education since childhood, and what he learned was the glorious history of the nobles. He also has the glory and pride of the nobles.

But in front of the merchants in Guanhai City, his glory and pride were trampled on, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

If it weren't for Rose Town, Lancaster really didn't want to meet these businessmen, so he understood Herman's thoughts very well.

"As you command!"

Herman said excitedly, then turned and left.

Looking at Herman's leaving back, Lancaster murmured to himself:

"Thank you for your hard work. I hope Mr. Tom can change our current situation."

At the same time, "Tom", who had high hopes from Lancaster, was led by the director of Lance to the place where the big milk tank produces fresh milk.

"The big milk tank produces fresh milk here?"

Chen Yan pointed to the shack in front of him and said.

"Yes, the smell inside may be a bit unpleasant. Are you two adults sure you want to go in and take a look?"

Field Director Lance asked.

"Of course we have to go in and take a look. It's just that twenty big milk tanks are squeezed into such a small place. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

The shed in front of him was very small. Although Chen Yan didn't know the size of the big milk tank, even based on the actual size of the cows, this shed couldn't accommodate more than twenty big milk tanks.

"Not suitable? No, it's perfectly fine to live in. They have been resting in this shack."

"Wait, you mean, this shed is not only a place where the big milk tanks are milked, but also a place where they live?"

Chen Yan said in surprise.

"Otherwise? It would be nice if these monsters had a place to live, so there is no need to be so detailed."

Lance said nonchalantly.

Chen Yanwenyan and Xu Ruofeng looked at each other. He knew that Pokémon's life in other places was not good, but he did not expect that the living conditions would be so bad.

Not to mention the castle courtyard with trees and water, this shack can't even compare to the newly built camp. At least the camp is larger.

"Take us in and have a look."

Chen Yan still had a bit of luck in his heart. If the shack was just a little smaller, the environment inside would be okay.

As a result, when they entered the shack, the harsh environment inside completely shattered Chen Yan's illusions.

The area inside the shack is even smaller than it looks from the outside. More than 20 large milk tanks are all squeezed together, leaving almost no room for movement.

Feces and urine flowed across the foot of the big milk tank, exuding a strong stench.

Chen Yan thought he had adapted to the stench of Rose Town, but the stench in the shack was worse than the stench on the street, and it almost knocked Chen Yan offline.

In front of the big milk tank is the trough, which is filled with grass. It seems that they are not abused in terms of eating.

But he always felt that the big milk tanks were in pain when eating, and both eyes were blind.

When the big milk tanks heard someone coming in, they looked up at Chen Yan and the others. When they saw Lance, they suddenly trembled, and then they all lowered their heads and ate desperately.

Upon seeing this, Lance nodded with satisfaction, turned to Chen Yan and introduced:

"These are all the large milk tanks that can produce fresh milk in our Qiangwei Town. Thanks to the lactation potion of your Chamber of Commerce, each of them can produce more than thirty liters of fresh milk per day, which can fully meet your purchase needs."

"How much fresh milk can they produce without potions?"

Chen Yan asked rhetorically.

"Generally speaking, a large milk tank can produce twenty liters of fresh milk a day, but adding lactation potion to the grass will greatly increase the production of fresh milk."

Lance thought Chen Yan wanted to show off the effects of their chamber of commerce potion, so he quickly followed his praise.

"Does this lactation potion have any side effects?"

Chen Yan frowned and said.

"There are no side effects."

Lance stammered in reply.

"To be honest, we need to understand the side effects of the potion. Only by knowing this information can we improve the potion."

Chen Yan increased his tone of voice.

"Yes, there are actually no side effects. It's just that the big milk tanks have to eat more grass. This is nothing. You just need to teach them a little lesson, and they will eat grass honestly."

"Also, it seems that it will cause some damage to the body of the big milk tanks. Their lifespan may be shortened, but that doesn't matter. Anyway, when they get old, their milk production will decrease significantly. It is better to produce more now."

Lance explained with a smile, trying to keep the side effects of the potion as low as possible.

But in Chen Yan's ears, this potion was undoubtedly a kind of destruction to the big milk tank.

Although in reality, in order to increase milk production, cows are also injected with galactagogues and hormones, and even a hole is made in their bodies to promote their digestion.

But they are living a pretty good life, unlike these big milk tanks that are being abused here all day long.

The big milk tanks were so frightened that they trembled when they saw Lance, which proved that they had been whipped by Lance.

Chen Yan is not a person who has a strong mother's heart. He also knows the law of the jungle. In the real world, humans, as the only higher animals in the world, can naturally obtain resources from other animals. This is understandable.

But the Pokémon world is different. Pokémon are also intelligent. As Lord Ryan said, humans and Pokémon are children of the Creator God. They are brothers and partners.

In the real world, when faced with animals that are far less intelligent than themselves, humans still have compassion. Not only will they protect them, but they also abhor the abuse of animals, let alone these Pokémon.

Chen Yan believed that as long as a Blue Star person with normal emotions would subconsciously choose to be friends with Pokémon instead of abusing them, as long as Pokémon did not affect human survival.

Besides, Lord Ryan has proven with facts that Pokémon will only help human progress and development and pose no threat to humans at all. Humans and Pokémon can live in harmony.

Although Chen Yan hated what Rose Town was doing, he also knew that the aboriginal people in this world had always had a bad view of Pokémon. Maybe in the eyes of the aboriginal people, abusing Pokémon was normal behavior.

It's just that he doesn't understand why these big milk tanks don't resist. No matter how weak the big milk tanks are, they are not something that an ordinary human like Lance can abuse at will, right?

Don't talk about players like Madonna, the Pokémon world is different from the real world. I believe everyone likes Pokémon and also likes this utopian feeling. Anyway, I will not let players turn a blind eye to the abuse of Pokémon. I Personally, I hate those dark Pokémon novels, so I won’t write them that way.
