This lich needs more money

No wonder Ariel is sensitive. When Amberxiu pretended to be Mongo Gray River, Ariel carefully observed how this "wise man" used words to deceive people, thinking that one day she could become a wise person too. .

Therefore, Ariel was familiar with everything from the body movements of that Mongrel Gray River.

But now, the lich in front of her clearly had no resemblance to Monge Gray River, but Ariel could feel that the temperaments of the two were very similar. Especially the last paragraph, after Amberxiu finished speaking, Ariel knew that she had completely fallen into a trap, just like Mengg Gray River had deceived people in the first place.

This feeling is so weird.

Ariel couldn't help but look at Amber Xiu up and down, trying to see through the soul hidden by the lich's transformation technique.

But it's a pity that Amber Xiu didn't show any flaws. He just said politely: "If Her Royal Highness has other things to consider, you might as well speak directly. Business always needs to be discussed."

Ariel finally came back to her senses and said to Amber Xiu: "What are the other ways of cooperation you just mentioned?"

Amber Xiu felt happy. Ariel asked this question, which meant that his plan was mostly successful.

Amberxiu said: "It's very simple. The Kingdom of Rage has a huge financial problem and cannot come up with enough cash, but I know that the population of the Kingdom of Rage is a bit surplus..."

Ariel interrupted: "Ultraman Master, you are mistaken. The population of the Rage Kingdom is not large. We are too busy just to fill our stomachs."

The Kingdom of Rage is scattered on several giant islands, and its population is really small. The total population is estimated to be less than 10 million.

Moreover, the Rage Tide Kingdom has a small land area and cannot carry out large-scale farming and grazing. It can only rely on the sea to survive. Therefore, the people of the Raging Tide Kingdom can only fish and rely on the fish to fill their stomachs.

Most people pay taxes in fish, so gold in this kingdom is very scarce. If a small gold mine on the seabed hadn't been discovered, the Kingdom of Rage would have had to earn gold by being a pirate.

It is too difficult to excavate seabed gold mines. Not much gold has been mined over the years. As a result, the gold mines are about to bottom out.

A kingdom that can’t even eat enough has no manpower to dive and mine. The Kingdom of Rage doesn’t have enough gold and doesn’t have any valuable specialties. It’s difficult to trade with other kingdoms on the mainland and can only continue to suffer losses. This makes the Kingdom of Rage even more closed. , more backward and poorer.

Therefore, Amberxiu's talk about being rich in manpower is simply nonsense.

However, Amberxiu shook his head and said: "I know the plight of the Kingdom of Raging Tide. The efficiency of fishing and harvesting food is too low, and it is dangerous. It is not conducive to the development of the Kingdom of Raging Tide."

This is the problem of the island kingdom. It cannot support a huge industrial system. If it can only play fishing and hunting, it will never get rid of its current predicament.

And Amber's correction can solve this problem: "I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess has ever thought about importing food? If the kingdom has enough food, then the kingdom's population can be freed up to carry out more valuable work, for example, for I process all kinds of alchemical products.”

"Processing alchemical products?" Ariel said strangely: "But our Kingdom of Rage doesn't have this foundation at all."

"It doesn't matter, I have it. I have the complete alchemy factory production line technology, I just lack the people."

Ariel thought of the giant dragons that were tied up just now, and said in surprise: "Are you really going to kill the giant dragons and use their corpses for alchemy?"

"Haha, it's not that cruel. I do business in a steady stream, and I don't make one-shot deals. What will happen next when all the dragons are dead? So I only focus on some of the specialties of the dragons, such as dragon bone vines, dragon scales, and dragon blood. Wait. Just adjust the proportions of these raw materials to create a large number of alchemy products with a wide market. "

Ariel asked again: "You are friends with the Queen of the Undead, wouldn't it be easier to ask her for help?"

Amberxiu said helplessly: "The Underdark is not suitable for building large-scale production lines at all. Moreover, dragon materials are very sensitive. If they are contaminated by dark magic, the scrap rate will be very high."

It is not possible to use skeletons to work. Dragon products are high-end products. A little pollution will lead to waste of products, so living people must be used.

Even if there are dwarves and gnomes in the Dark Hell, water and ventilation are all problems, not to mention the winding passages inside, making it difficult to find a flat place.

Amberxiu couldn't do it again with the World Weaving Technique to create a new environment for the alchemy factory. The investment cost would be too high. Even if he was willing to do it, the subsequent transportation costs would be another huge cost. From the Dark Area to the surface, only the teleportation array can transport it stably, and the cost is very scary.

The Kingdom of Rage is different. This is an island, and transportation is much more convenient.

Amber is planning to build a cross-kingdom airship transportation route. When a route is opened here, the cost can be further reduced.

Another point is that the Kingdom of Rage is too poor. Cutting the wages of alchemy factory workers in other places by half and then giving them a 30% discount is enough to hire people from the Kingdom of Rage.

The advantage of low wages is unmatched by other places.

Another point is that the Raging Tide Kingdom is the area closest to Dragon Island. Even if it does not operate as a factory, it will still be a transfer station for transporting materials. Rather than being a transfer station, it is better to turn it directly into a production place.

Amberxiu can also exaggerate the price of combat airships to offset the "salary" of the Rage Kingdom.

At worst, we can give some of the sales profits to the Kingdom of Angry Tide to stimulate their subjective initiative. In this way, Amberxiu can lure these tens of millions of people to become his workers.

When he thought that this kingdom would become his own alchemy factory, Amberxiu was so excited that his soul trembled. If he played dumping at that time, all the alchemy chambers of commerce on the continent would be beaten by him. At that time, Amberxiu would have the final say on how much the vitality potion cost!

"Your Highness, I can provide the kingdom with airships, technology and some infrastructure, and you only need to provide enough workers and venues. As for food, I have some connections with the druids, and I can get enough food from there to ensure that the people of the Kingdom of Angry Tide will not starve.

"I believe that Your Highness does not want your people to only eat fish for their whole lives, right? Bread, eggs, milk, and various meats can all become the menu of the Kingdom of Angry Tide. What do you think? "

Ariel was shocked by the future described by Amber. Even as a princess, her diet was just various fish and kelp and seaweed. She had only eaten beef and mutton a few times, let alone milk. Only bread was available because the few arable lands in the Kingdom of Fury were given priority to the royal family.

If this lich could really do it, it would seem to be a good thing for the Kingdom of Fury.

Ariel was about to agree, but what she said was: "I will seriously consider your suggestion. How about this, Master Ultraman, please write a detailed plan and let me study it. How to cooperate specifically, what we need to provide, and what we can get, I hope it can be reflected in detail in the plan. "

Amber Xiu sighed in his heart. The silly girl has really grown up. She has become smarter and more cautious.

Amber Xiu handed the plan that he had prepared long ago to Ariel. The princess simply flipped through it and took a few glances. Her eyes lit up. The content recorded on it was exactly what the Kingdom of Raging Tide needed. Everything was so beautiful. It seemed that as long as the contract was signed, the kingdom would be better.

Poor Ariel, she still had too little time to grow up. If she had studied it for a few more years, she might have seen through Amber Xiu's tricks.

This was a modified plan that completely avoided the key issues.

When a kingdom's food is monopolized and all the people become workers, what will happen to this kingdom? End.

This monopoly is invisible. When the people of this kingdom are used to the days of meat and bread, if one day they are forced to return to the days when they could only eat fish, it would be a devastating blow to the kingdom.

At that time, the fate of the Kingdom of Angry Tide was completely in the hands of Amber Xiu.

Amber Xiu didn't mind Ariel taking the plan back to study it slowly.

I'm afraid no one in the Kingdom of Angry Tide can understand the tricks in Amber Xiu's plan. They are too poor, the population is too small, and there are too few talents to attract.

Amber Xiu has seen their court wizards, those who play with alchemy, those who play with corpses, and those who play with spells, but none of them has studied social livelihood.

As for the old king... Haha, Monger Gray River can The old king was so fooled that he had no ability to see the core of the problem.

The only thing to worry about now is Talos, the Lord of Storms. Will he see through this plan and give his followers an oracle?

Is this considered interfering with mortals?

Amberxiu could only pray to Io in his heart, God of Gods, please be stricter, it would be best if all gods dare not give out oracles again, then this world will fall into his hands sooner or later.

Looking at Ariel's back as she left, Amberxiu was ready to withdraw his attention.

The Lions will not be defeated by the Thunder Sea, they will definitely be able to come to him, so preparations must be made, hoping that the problem can be solved beautifully by then, so as to shock everyone.

But just as Amber was about to continue to improve his plan, he suddenly thought of a problem.

Ariel... this name, no way, the woman that idiot wants to marry is Princess Ariel?

Amber did not have this idea at first, because the name Ariel is too common, there are too many people with the same name, and there is really no way to compare without a surname.

But Aiolos has such a special power, the woman he wants to marry can't be the daughter of an ordinary family, otherwise ordinary people can't escape Aiolos' pursuit even if they want to escape the marriage.

Only Princess Ariel is qualified to let Aiolos pursue with all his strength.

Combined with Aiolos's idiotic performance, Amber has a bold guess that this is probably a way for the gods to interfere in the mortal world!
