In the palace, it was still the old steward who received us. Although I had complained a lot about the old steward, and even said that I would pull out his beard, now that I saw him, I had to greet him warmly, and shove a heavy bag of gold coins into his hand.

"My good boy, I am really relieved to see you like this, old man!" The boss quietly put the bag of gold coins into his arms, but touched our heads and said, "This old fellow, since the last time he saw us, has been our godfather." And since I got into the big deal of the two godfathers who have no heart and lungs, I already have a psychological shadow of fear for this kind of thing, so I can't live or die, but this boss has unilaterally started to be our cheap godfather.

"Boss, we want to make Iron Valley a public place." We got straight to the point.

"I'll talk about it later, my good boy, don't you want to call me godfather?" The old manager looked at us with a pleading gaze and said pitifully.

"Let's talk about these things later, you help us do this first, and we will often send things to honor you in the future." I hardened my heart and said.

"In the future, filial piety will be waived, and you should not focus on my old bones. I get a lot of filial piety every year, and the young people I used to promote are now high-ranking officials, and they send me a lot of rare things every year, and I don't know who I want to leave these things to. Alas! This man is old! I especially like the feeling of children and grandchildren around the knee. The old manager sighed.

The meaning of the old manager's words was obvious, but we were unmoved. This boss is an old fox, we don't believe that we will get any benefits from him by recognizing him as a godfather, he didn't try his best to clean us up, it is already a blessing accumulated by our ancestors.

"I'm in a bad mood today, come back tomorrow!" When the old manager saw that his trick didn't work, he gave us an order to expel the guests.

Not tomorrow, this Heavenly Alliance, I want to dissolve it as soon as possible, one more day, millions more! So I had to bite the bullet and ask, "Old godfather, what's wrong with your body?" ”

"You're finally willing to call me godfather?" The old manager suddenly became full of spring breeze.

"Old godfather, we can call you like this, we don't know how happy we are, we used to be afraid that we had a low status and were not qualified to call you." I said disgustingly.

"Don't keep calling me my godfather, why does this sound awkward? Just call me godfather. The old manager said.

"No, old is respected, knowledgeable, wise, and experienced. Removing this old word will not express our respect for you! Isn't it? Blue War? "I looked at the Blues.

"Well said, you guys are really good boys. Then you can call me godfather! The old manager was very pleased.

"Yes! Old godfather! I said in unison.

Lan Zhan's guy, when he said this, his face turned red, and his tone of voice was also strange, the old manager felt strange when he saw it, so he asked Lan Zhan and said, "My good boy, tell me if you are uncomfortable, and the old godfather will give you medicine?" ”

Lan Zhan suddenly ran out of the house and laughed uncontrollably.

"My good boy, what's wrong with him, why is he laughing so crazy?" The old manager asked me.

"That's because he was able to call you old godfather, and he felt so excited and happy. To be honest, I also want to laugh very much, but I just feel a little out of shape in front of you, old godfather. "I'm full of gibberish.

"This is also true, inside and outside this palace, how many people want to call me godfather." The old manager nodded and said.

"It's a great blessing for us to be able to call you like this, old godfather, seeing that you are in such good spirits now, can you take a little time to help us deal with our affairs?" I beat the snake with the stick.

"Of course, what do you want?" The old manager sat at a large table and asked me casually.

"Iron Valley is publicized!" I said.

"Well, you are so young that you have such an idea of sacrificing your own interests for the country and the people, and I am really gratified. That's a good thing, I'll do it for you right away! As he spoke, the old manager picked up his pen and prepared to write something.

"Wait a minute, old godfather, I haven't finished talking yet, we will make Iron Valley public, and we will also build Iron Valley." I said.

"My dear boy, this is not cheap! And it's very risky, so you'll have to think about it. The old manager put down his pen and said to us.

"Thank you for your concern, we came here after thinking about it." I said.

"In this case, what kind of city are you going to build Iron Valley into!" The old steward asked.

"Old godfather, can we first check out the detailed map of the Iron Valley that you have kept here?" I asked.

The old manager looked at me very embarrassed and said, "This doesn't seem very good! The map we have here is a very confidential thing, I'm afraid ......"

"Old godfather, what's the matter, can't you help us with it? Looking at the map, what's the big deal? I said with some dissatisfaction.

"Okay, I'll show you! But you can only watch it for 3 minutes. "The old manager is very concerned about these maps, and it seems that these maps have some things on them that ordinary maps do not have.

There are good things, of course, the Blue Wars, so I went out and pulled the Blue Wars, who were still laughing maniacally, and asked him to come in and look at the map with us.

When Lan Zhan saw me, he said to me stealthily: "You kid, you are too good at hurting people, aren't you, so called people's old godfather?" ”

"If you don't call it that, then you can remove that old word and call him godfather directly." I said.

"That's a good applaud." Lan Zhan hurriedly said: "It's just that every time I call someone else's old godfather, I want to laugh, it reminds me of a brand of beef jerky." ”

"Then [the brand should be chili sauce!] When I used to eat instant noodles, I loved that thing. I corrected.

"Please! The brand of chili sauce is called Lao Gan Ma. "Lan Zhan gave me a look that you are too uninformed.

"Don't talk about that, Lan Zhan, you have studied the map of Iron Valley to a good degree, wait a minute, the boss will let us see their treasured map, when the time comes, you have to desperately remember the difference between the map and what we have seen, I look at the top, you look at the bottom." Holding Lan Zhan's hand, I said to him secretly.

Lan Zhan was already laughing out of strength, he nodded with difficulty, and was pulled into the room by me. When we appeared in front of the boss again, the huge table of the boss had already shown a three-dimensional model of the Iron Valley.

"Look, this is the map of Iron Valley." The old steward pointed to the map of the Iron Valley and said to us.

After the construction of the Iron Valley was completed, we immediately disbanded the Heavenly Alliance, and then we returned to the Iron Valley non-stop. After a while, we didn't come here in Iron Valley, and we found that Iron Valley was much more lively again. When you get close to Iron Valley, you feel that the people here are boiling. The popularity of Iron Valley is still very high! This makes me and Lan Zhan full of confidence in building Iron Valley.

We walked into Iron Valley and found that in some areas, there were quite a few players who gathered together and bargained with other players, and then looked at what they were selling, many of which were player-made weapons. The construction of the Iron Valley has not yet begun, and the weapons trading market here has already taken a rough shape.

We continued to go deeper into the Iron Valley, and we saw that every iron mill in the Iron Valley was full of people, the sound of iron, and the sound of talking, which made people suspect that they had entered the vegetable market. Not only is the blacksmith overcrowded, but there are several people working at the same time next to each ironsmith, and there are several waiting next to each blacksmith. There are hundreds of iron-striking workshops in this iron valley, and each iron-striking workshop also has hundreds of iron-striking furnaces, but even so, there are too few people who need it!

Suddenly, we heard someone fighting in the blacksmith, and we just wanted to go over to look at it, but we found that the other people in the ironshop were indifferent, and we wondered in our hearts, so we asked the player who was waiting for the ironsmith next to a blacksmith, "Is there a lot of fights here?" ”

"It's not just a lot, it's like someone is fighting all the time!" The man got bored of waiting and got into a fight with me.

"Why are they fighting?" I'd like to know more about how this Iron Valley has been running during this time.

"It's not for those iron furnaces! The weapons created here are better than those in other places, and the skill experience points obtained are also relatively high, so almost the entire game people are coming here, making these iron furnaces suddenly become very nervous. The man said.

"Also, there are some iron furnaces here, which have actually been occupied by some powerful groups, and there is no way to get close to the furnace if it is not from their group." Someone else said.

"Actually, that's not a big deal, you know? This place has been occupied by the gouge-out demons, and it may not be easy for us to come here to strike iron in the future. Someone else said.

"Didn't the Eye-Gouging Demon make this a special zone where you can enter and leave freely without any restrictions? Why do you still say that Iron Valley will become an eye-gouging demon in the future? I asked, confused.

"Do you need to ask? Which eye-gouging demon. Would be so kind and would do such a thing? If he didn't want to take Tiegu Ba for himself, where would he spend so much effort to get this Tiegu? He then said to the other players, "This eye-gouging demon is not a good thing. Everyone also listened to the system, and in the future, this Iron Valley will be the one who digs out the eyes. ”

"That's it, I heard that this eye-gouging demon specializes in gouging people's eyes in fights...... someone else said.

Hearing this, I didn't have the heart to listen anymore. So, I fought with Lan and quietly left this blacksmith.

"Blue War! My reputation is not as good as you think! I said.

"Dragons, those are ungrateful." Lan Zhan said.

"It's not their fault, I've always been that way in their minds. When dealing with the Jiangshan Alliance, I became the pioneer of dealing with the Jiangshan Alliance in their hearts, and my image can also give them confidence, but with the disappearance of the Jiangshan Alliance, I will also become a threat to some people, so all kinds of unfavorable words will appear one after another, and there will be more and more in the future. I shook my head.

"Dragon, this is so unfair to you." Lan Zhan said.

"I don't care, I've always only done things that are good for us, and we have never considered things that are good for the country and the people, even if we do something that is good for the majority of players, it's just in the way. In doing so, of course, we are not qualified to be glorified by others. Don't be upset about me, actually, I like them to see me that way. In this way, I will be much freer in doing things in the future, and I will not be bound by those hypocritical things. I said nonchalantly.

"Lan Zhan, don't think about these messy things, think about our Iron Valley, it's really strange, didn't Liu Ye say that only one person is responsible for this construction? How can we both have equal permissions? I shook my head to shake the strange thoughts away, then turned to Lan Zhan and said.

"Isn't that bad?" Lan Zhan said with a smile.

"Of course, even if the system only allows me to have such permissions, I will find a way to let you help me, now that you have such permissions, I don't have to worry about these things anymore. What should we do next? Now that this blacksmith is so sought-after, let's start in this area first. I said.

"Of course, let's build an ironsmith first." Lan Zhan also nodded.

"Before the construction of the blacksmith, we must first carry out unified management of the existing blackworks, and we will levy maintenance costs for each blacksmith according to the time it is used." I said.

"Dragon, the implementation of this decree will definitely be met with a backlash from many people." Lan Zhan said with a frown.

"The Blue War, this decree must be implemented. Of course, in implementing such a decree, it is necessary that we take some measures that can slow down these backlashes. I said.

"What kind of measures are they?" Lan Zhan asked me.

"For example, we can charge some blacksmiths and no fees for others." I thought about it and said.

"That's a good way! I think that the blacksmith that does not charge a fee must be overcrowded, and those who want to be convenient go to the blacksmith for a fee is undoubtedly the best choice. Lan Zhan said.

"It's still not good, those players always think that everyone has a part in defeating the Jiangshan Alliance, and if I charge for these blacksmiths, they must have a very big opinion about us, once this emotion accumulates, when it finally erupts, it will burn people. Moreover, those players have this kind of emotion, and they must have a very big impact on the construction of our Iron Valley. I will never allow a situation that may affect the construction of our Iron Valley! "I thought about it again, and in the end, I still rejected my own idea.

"So what to do? If we don't charge a certain fee for those blacksmiths, then how will we get the funds for the next construction? But if it is accepted, the opinions of those players will also be very big, and if it is not done well, it will be a very big obstacle to our future construction. "The Blues are also in a dilemma.

"So, we have to set up our blacksmith as soon as possible and separate it from the old one." I said.

"If there are these blacksmiths that don't cost money, our new blacksmiths will be unattended, and our sources of funds are quite difficult. It's really weird! Didn't Liu Ye say that those taxes could be paid in advance? Now, we can only use the previous tax revenue, but we can use 50% instead of 20%. That is, the system takes only 50%, not 80%. Lan Zhan shook his head and said.

"Those old blacksmiths will soon be destroyed, I just found out that I have the power to shorten the life of those blacksmiths, as long as I set their service life to be in the next second, after that second, the blacksmith will be completely paralyzed." I said with a wicked grin.

"But the money for the construction of the blacksmith is still a big problem! Dragon, do you have any extra funds to spare? Why don't we put some into it? Lan Zhan said.

I shook my head and said, "We must invest in funds, but not in these aspects, and, I think, in the future, we will try not to use our funds without using our funds." Sometimes, even if you use your own funds, you may not be able to do this well! In the Blue War, we should not always regard the construction of the Iron Valley as our own business, our power is limited, and the power of the masses is unlimited. Therefore, we should be good at using the power of others to do things for us. ”

"Are you saying that you want the players to build their own blacksmiths, and we have to charge them for their use?" Lan Zhan asked.

"Why not?" I smirked and said, "The cost of a blacksmith is relatively large, so each blacksmith will be built by dozens of players. After the blacksmith is built, we will give them a discount, not only can they use the blacksmith first, but they can also use it for free for a period of time, and when they use it later, they can only pay half the price. ”

"It's a good idea, but how much money do we have to charge to make those players think it's profitable. Moreover, if some players want to invest more here, how can they be allowed to invest their money in these offers alone? Lan Zhan asked.

"Lan Zhan, have you found out, although the blacksmith was robbed of the head, but the ten blast furnaces, no one moved at all. This is not because they don't know the benefits of this blast furnace, but because this blast furnace can smelt a very large amount of ore at a time, and if it is only a small amount, the cost of smelting will become very high. "I didn't answer the question directly, but I took it away.

"You want to hit those blast furnace ideas? That's fine, we charge those blast furnaces, those players, relatively there is not much resistance, even if we have to charge here, it will not affect them. Lan Zhan said.

"Who said that I want to charge, this blast furnace is the same as those blacksmiths, the city is a legacy of the Jiangshan League, as long as we charge, there must be a lot of people who oppose it. The blast furnace is still free for those players to use, if they have the ability, of course. I said with a smile.

"Dragon, you guy, this is not a solution, as long as we control this raw material, those players in Iron Valley, who dare not listen to us? In the future, we can use this to drive them in whatever we do. Lan Zhan turned his head, and he immediately understood my intentions.

"We can also pull our second in the world here to do this thing, as long as we adjust the prices well, and only make very small profits, or even no profits, this business will completely fall on us. And we, too, can form a monopoly. Moreover, we can also buy a large number of things made by those sub-classes, and determine the price according to the specifications, and we only charge a fee, which is not only convenient for those who concentrate on leveling, but also for those players who want weapons. In order to build our popularity, we also have to go to those skilled blacksmiths who practice their skills in Iron Valley, or players of any other profession, and let their works be set up by our second in the world. In this way, our second in the world will go deep into the hearts of every player. As long as we have the second place in the world, others will choose us to be the second in the world when they buy things in the future. I said wistfully.

"It's also a way to advertise, and it's a very clever one. Moreover, after we form a monopoly, we can also use this monopoly to set up different supply levels, so that those players who want to develop here can get the most discounts. In fact, we can do more incentives, don't we have the authority to decide taxes? We have adjusted the tax to the minimum, what we have done is to attract those players to invest here, anyway, we can't get a penny of those taxes, we just need to develop Iron Valley. Hey, dragon, that's what you call using the power of the masses! "The more he talks, the more open-minded he becomes.

"Yes, let's not focus on these small things, it's funny, we just worried about whether or not to collect the royalties for the use of the blacksmith, we should have a big mind, don't be afraid of others making money, as long as there is money to be made in this place, they will come. We have to keep things simple, we will no longer charge the royalties for the use of those blackworks, and we will also privatize the blackworks that will be built in the future, whether they are wholly-owned or joint ventures, as long as they build the ironworks, the ironworks will be theirs. "My train of thought was also opened up by the Blue War.
