The Iccold Civilian District

"Olistin, look at the current state of the empire under your aunt's control~" Evangeline and Ollistin walked together in the snow, looking at the civilian children frolicking and playing under the igloo in the distance, and an invisible trace of envy and longing appeared in her eyes.

At this time, both of them were wearing thick monster fur cloaks, which were used to shield the falling snow over the Frozen City, and behind them were the same decoration of Arthas and Cold Ripples, from a distance, such decorations were normal in the Frozen City...

The constant temperature barrier of the Frozen City is not always open, when there is a sun during the day, the temperature is warmer, the barrier is closed, and when the temperature drops to the point that it may threaten the lives of civilians at night, the barrier will be opened, keeping the minimum temperature of ten degrees at night, to ensure that the civilians do not freeze to death in their sleep.

"Grandma, do you want to hear the truth or lie?" Ollistin followed Grandma's gaze, and he naturally saw those children playing with snowflakes, throwing snowballs, building snowmen, playing with snow, children in all worlds are similar...

"Tell me about both, let me see what you think of the Empire?" Evangeline said with a slight anger, listening to Ollistin's words, she felt as if Ollistin was very negative about what the Empire's ancestors had done to the Empire...

"Grandma, don't blame me for what I said, because I've been in the other world for a long time, and I can't help but be affected by them... Ollistin felt as if his grandmother was blaming herself, and quickly admitted her mistake.

As soon as these words came out, Evangeline was a little deflated...

"Say it~ Grandma Huang, I forgive you for your innocence"

"That's good"

"The false view is that the empire has developed very well now, according to our philosophy, unless there is a breakthrough development of various magic technology on the continent, the empire can no longer continue to develop, we are not only limited by the environment, geography, but also various unfavorable conditions... And the economy of the empire could not inherit and rise ... Ollistin said, sighing from time to time, the conditions of the Ice and Snow Empire are really too poor...

"What about that really?" Evangeline asked, Olistin's words, she had made the same opinion about the empire at that time for decades, originally thought that after Harrilyn took over, it might be able to improve, but unfortunately, the empire has not made the slightest progress in the past ten years... Harrilyn is not a worthy empress...

"That's the empire is terrible now! it's terrible!! if it continues like this, in a hundred years, a thousand years, the empire may cease to exist... If I were from another world, then my evaluation of the empire must be like this, I have never seen such a country, to raise so many civilians, but also to maintain the weapons and equipment of the soldiers, all kinds of magical buildings... What's the use of civilians if the Empire is to do everything?Captive livestock?" Ollistine snorted, deliberately making it hilarious, but Evangeline couldn't laugh at all.

"Why? Isn't it normal for the Empire to raise civilians, and shouldn't the Empire be responsible for maintaining weapons and equipment, as well as magical buildings?" asked Evangeline, not only confusedly.

"The empire maintains the weapons and equipment of the soldiers, what are the magic buildings, and it is indeed our responsibility to maintain them, but when it comes to raising civilians, I am not very in favor of it, to put it simply, those young civilians with hands and feet, why should the empire support them, they can rely on their own hands and feet to support themselves, and they are not those old men? Ollistin explained, and asked Grandma Evangeline.

"This... But you have also seen the current situation of the empire, affected by the environment, even if they have to feed themselves, those gold coins or something, don't they have to rely on the imperial treasury?"

"Although it depends on the imperial treasury, the meaning is different!! commoners rely on their own hands to work, get gold coins from the empire to support themselves, and the empire can sell the fruits of civilians' labor to other empires? Hey, hey, hey... ”

"Oh, what do you say?" When Evangeline heard this, she suddenly became interested, earning her son-in-law's gold coins, so exciting...

"For example, the special materials for the construction of houses in the Ice and Snow Empire, that is, these ice cubes... Olistin said, tapping his finger on the house's ice building materials, and the ice cubes suddenly made a rock-like thumping sound. Obviously, the hardness must be no worse than that of the rocks of other empires.

"The temperature of the Burning Blade Empire is extremely high all year round, and these dark ice may not melt in the Ice and Snow Empire, but after solidification and alchemy, the ice element in it is completely isolated from the outside world, sealed, and then sold to the Burning Blade Empire... Grandma, do you think that the nobles of the Burning Blade Empire will rush to ask for these processed ice cubes, and then build a cool ice house to cool off?"

"That's right!" Evangeline suddenly realized, her eyes were incredulous, she didn't think of such a simple truth, or she should have thought of it before, but then she was forgotten by the pressure of propping up the empire.

"We can sell the Xuan Ice Cubes to that kid at a high price, but let him make the difference... And I thought about all the reasons, so I said that Linda wanted to relive the environment in the Ice and Snow Empire!!"

"In this way, it's impossible for that kid to refuse~hahaha~" Evangeline's crazy appearance at this time, Ollistin was stunned, and his grandmother, who had always been more stable in his mind, would have such an appearance.

"But the second uncle-in-law is not a fool, he must know that the Xuanbing block is very cheap in the Ice and Snow Empire, and it is impossible to have a high price, we can only earn the price of enchantment alchemy at most, and the high price can only be earned by the second uncle... Ollistin didn't just remind.

"That's right~ But it doesn't matter, the empire doesn't only have the building material of the Xuan Ice Block, for the empire, there are countless ice attribute building materials on the side of the endless snow region? ”

"As long as the number is large enough, the income of the empire is still very large, Ollistine, you are worthy of being a person who has been in another world, this insight is different!" Evangeline not only felt that this negotiation with Ollistin was an absolutely wise choice... It's wise enough to be much more valuable than persuading Amelina to come in the ice mound...

"You go on to say, I have a rough understanding, send civilians to dig up those ice cubes, give them gold, and we make a lot of money!!"

"Well, Grandma, what do you think is the biggest factor in the development of the empire?" Ollistin asked suddenly.

"Well, the economy, right? Without money, the empire can't do anything... Evangeline blurted out instantly.

"No, the economy is just one of them ... And the strength of the country as a whole, that is, the soldiers and the high-end combat power of the empire!, and finally the civilians!" Olistin corrected.

"Why, I can still understand the soldiers and the high-end combat power of the empire, I need them to protect the empire, but the last civilians, I'm a little confused... ”
