Chapter 440: The Demon King and Work
At the door of the tavern, when Green says that he will not blame others for "verbal offense", the female man is instantly resurrected.
"Oh~ Big boss, you said it earlier. It scared the hell out of me just now! The woman grinned and stretched out her hand as if to pat Grimm on the shoulder, but stopped abruptly halfway through, as if something was wrong.
Looking at the heartless female man in front of him, Green was silent for a while: "I made a secret visit this time to want to know the living conditions of the people at the bottom. Well...... What is everyone's financial situation now? Green pulled out his notebook and began to record.
"Economic situation?" The female man blinked, dazed.
"It's your income...... How much of your monthly income is spent on eating? β
"Well...... "the woman thought for a moment, "all." β
A hellish look appeared on Green's face: "...... How is this possible? Your salary shouldn't be low, right? If it's in the system, there shouldn't be anything to consume. β
There are few people in Mona Kingdom, and because monsters act as laborers, the economic situation in the kingdom is not bad, so the treatment that Green has set for the employees of the following companies is also quite high, and even includes three meals a day, there is no reason why Engel's coefficient is so high!?
"Uh...... The salary is okay. The female man looked puzzled, "But we have nowhere to spend money except for eating and drinking." In the past, he could still gamble and prostitute himself. Now there's no JJ below.,The ban on gambling has closed all the casinos.,Now there's nothing else to do every day except drinking.,There's nothing else to do...... Boss! Please open the casino! β
Green was silent for a long time, silently scribbling a line of words in his notebook: too much welfare, no entertainment.
During the war, a large number of people fled, resulting in a large number of people in the Mona Kingdom, a large number of empty houses, and each of them is a "Dink", one person is fed, the whole family is not hungry, there is no shortage of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the economic burden is very low, so the consumption structure seems to have become a little strange.
"Boss! Will casinos be opened in the future? The female man looked at Green expectantly.
ββ¦β¦ Do you have any other comments other than this? Originally, Green was worried that the casinos would cause instability, but now it seems that people who lack financial pressure have a tendency to evolve into decadents. Maybe you can use casinos to "cut leeks" and make all these people destitute, so as to prompt them to work hard to "move bricks"?
"And! My boss was just too much. The female man couldn't help but complain, "I often find reasons to deduct my salary and punish me for cleaning the toilet!" It's a mental illness! If it weren't for the permission restrictions, I would have beaten him up a long time ago! β
"Hmm...... Why did he withhold your salary? There's got to be a reason to punish you for cleaning the toilet, right? β
"That dead pervert is simply finding fault!" The female man said indignantly.
"Hmm...... I'll send someone to investigate this later. If it is discovered that the phenomenon of abuse of power and violation of law and discipline is discovered, it will be punished. β
"And. Recently, the price of alcohol and food has become more and more expensive, and the magic blood tomato has been sold for a silver coin, can you believe it? That's a ridiculous price, isn't it? β
"Well......" Green thought for a moment, "if you think it's expensive, you can consider growing it yourself." The central government does not prohibit you from cultivating ownerless land for planting, as long as you pay the corresponding taxes. β
In the Mona Kingdom, except for the Chaos Mushroom (one of the main foods that provide magic power), which is managed and priced uniformly throughout the country, the prices of other foods are basically regulated by the market economy. Therefore, for the female man's complaint that the price of "luxury" is too high, Green does not plan to use the government's executive power to regulate it, but encourages other demons to also enclose land and farm - there is really a lot of wasteland in the demon territory.
"Oh~ That's it." Hearing Green's words, the expression on the female man's face was a little subtle, "I'd better go to the wild and catch it directly." β
Green raised his eyebrows, feeling a little puzzled: "Why don't you want to grow it yourself?" It shouldn't be difficult to grow vegetables and fruits, right? Even if you grow some vegetables and fruits in your own yard, it's okay, right? β
"Hmm...... Anyway, you can often catch it in the wild...... And it feels like a lot of trouble to farm or something. If you really want to eat it, just go to the wild and catch it. On a magical night, you can see vegetables and fruits running all over the forest. β
Greene: "......"
Under the introduction of the female man, the residents of Porto Agena live a fairly stable life, with no worries about food and clothing, and can go to the forest to hunt prey on magical nights. In general, except for the lack of entertainment and the problem of sluggish business, everything else is okay, and people's lives are okay.
Just as Green sat at the door of the tavern, asking a passing woman about the port, a group of people on giant rabbits hurried down the roadβthe officials of Port Agena finally discovered that the Lord had come to make a secret visit.
Running at the front is a giant rabbit piloted by Mona. I saw Mona sitting on the head of the giant rabbit, up and down with the bumps of the giant rabbit as it ran. And behind the Monas, there are demons riding giant rabbits.
Soon, the giant rabbit rushed to Green's side and quickly stopped.
"Mona! ~" Mona jumped off the rabbit's head and saluted Grimm.
Compared to Mona, the demon clan is heavier, so the speed of the mount is slightly inferior to Mona's mount, but everyone soon came to Grimm's side.
Othello, the archon of Port Agena, came to Grimm and knelt down on one knee: "Lord Demon King! β
Behind the archon, many demon administrators knelt down on one knee and offered their loyalty to Grimm.
"Get up." Green waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up.
Soon, everyone stood up.
"I'm just passing by, don't worry about me." Green smiled, "Go about your business, I'm just going to look around." β
Hearing Green's words, Archon Othello felt his scalp tingle. As an aristocrat with no low emotional intelligence, it is obviously impossible for Othello to leave Green aside and go about his own business - what could be more important than accompanying the leader to inspect the work?
"Lord Demon King, let me accompany you to inspect the work." Othello hurriedly said.
"Hmm~ it's okay." Green got up, "I'm going to inspect the shipyard next, and the unrelated people will go back to work." In addition, the Finance Department came back to me with a report, and I would like to know the financial situation of Port Agena. β
"Yes!"
After sending most of the members away, Green rode the giant rabbit and several senior leaders of Port Agena to inspect the Agena shipyard.
The Agena Shipyard is one of the four major shipyards in the Demon Domain, and it not only has the ability to make ordinary ocean sailboats, but also has the ability to build airships.
As an earthling, Green has a special affection for the Air Force, but the status of the airship as a weapon of war is really delicate - not to mention the high manufacturing cost, the combat effectiveness is still weak, and it is simply a "meat target in the air" when encountering the traditional air cavalry of various countries! For example: the Pegasus knight of the elves, the griffin knight of the Dawn Kingdom, etc.
The only advantage of the airship is its powerful air transportation ability, which can quickly deliver supplies and troops to any area on land, which is very effective when fighting in areas with difficult terrain! However, compared with traditional sea transportation and land transportation, the cost of airship transportation is too high, and Green is naturally dissatisfied with this situation, so Green hopes that several shipyards can upgrade the manufacturing process of airships and develop "more practical" airships.
The Agena shipyard was born in this context.
The shipyard looks no different from a normal shipyard, with carpenters doing a lot of the work, and magicians taking care of the crafting of the magic furnace and floating magic patterns. The demons are born with magical power, and with a little training, they can become a qualified magician, and this is also the confidence of the demons to focus on the development of magic technology.
In the Agena shipyard, Green, accompanied by a large number of accompanying personnel, "pretended" to inspect the shipyard.
The situation at the Agena shipyard is decent, the rate at which a small airship is built each year is not impressive, but the construction of ocean-going sailing ships is very fast, from last year to this year, a total of five medium-sized ocean-going commercial sailing ships have been built, which increases the caravan transport capacity and shows that the new employees of the shipyard have also begun to work on skilled shipbuilding.
After inspecting the shipyard, Green took the report from the Finance Department, and with everyone's respect, he and Chikage boarded an airship and embarked on a journey back to Demon King City.
This is an ordinary mass-produced military airship, although it has undergone some modifications, the decoration inside the airship is still not luxurious, but at least it is comfortable.
In the guest room on the airship, Green was lying on the couch, and Green looked through the report in his hand with a headache.
After several years of training, Green has mastered the ability to understand the state of the local economy from the reported data. Through the financial report in his hand, Green found that Harbor Agena also seemed to be mired in various problems caused by the rising tide of magic - animal rage, vegetable escape, unknown monster attacks, etc., although the situation was not as serious as that of humans, but it was somewhat affected.
"Airship...... The cost of this thing is a bit high. Green couldn't help frowning as he flipped through the bill at the port.
The cost of a small airship can arm hundreds of Wyvern Knights, and it is no wonder that countries are reluctant to invest in airships as weapons of war.
As Green flipped through the report in his hand, the communication crystal lit up, and the head of the Minister of Personnel, Philix, appeared on the screen.
"Master~" The red-haired maid lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted very respectfully, "Welcome back to China." β
"I'm going to visit a few other military factories before I go back." Green put the report in his hand on the table, "I hope that you can send some professional evaluators over there to meet with me and assist me in reviewing those factories and departments below." In particular, the financial aspects of the review. I'm a little overwhelmed by my words. β
The fox ears on the maid's head twitched slightly, and she blinked: "Okay master, I'll go back and discuss with the personnel department and the finance department, and send some people from various departments to form a professional jury." β
"Hmm...... And the military department, by the way. I need a professional assessment of various weapons and equipment by professional servicemen. β
"Yes, master."
