Chapter 621: Network

The quality of these papers may not be high in the eyes of the Magus, but such a novel form of dissemination directly breaks the originally closed teaching structure of the Karen Kingdom - the back of the "Magic" journal has a note "All mages are welcome to contribute", and at the same time... As long as the mage is willing to share the results of his research, Elson City will provide points for rewards, and can exchange the points for various magical items such as charging crystals...

Now the magic world of the Karen Kingdom has exploded, and countless people have cursed Elson with gritted teeth!

Because the dissemination of magical knowledge at this time was still in the stage of "self-cherishing", there was not much communication between various academies, and the really cutting-edge things were hidden, and it was impossible to form a healthy academic atmosphere. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but the appearance of "Magic" broke this pattern with an external force.

Krohn and the other magisters were hesitant about this, but when they collectively met and discussed, they all understood one fact: if the academic atmosphere did not change from closed to open, then the gap between the Cullen Kingdom and Raciman's fingertips would become wider and wider.

It's not too late to make amends. Several Magisters submitted their posts, which even alarmed Charles II... The latter, while expressing dissatisfaction with these bizarre things, did not realize what kind of changes this kind of nationwide dissemination of knowledge would bring in the future.

Because in the eyes of most people, Elson City's current behavior is simply "doing good" without expecting anything in return.

But when the aristocrats found out that the "newspaper" had begun to charge, they vaguely felt that something was wrong.

They were impressed by the fact that the paper, which was thinner and easier to organize than parchment, was so much that paper could be used - to transcribe books, to pass letters, or to anything related to text, such as musical scores, scripts, or ledgers, could be freed from the costly parchment. However, when they tried to buy "paper" in the market, they found that this kind of thing was only sold by the Parling Firm.

The once-obscure business house has now expanded into a sizable sales network, and the "Elson CIA" tentacles have spread with it.

Some of the previous redundant methods of uploading intelligence have been eliminated and replaced with batches of re-screened and trained intelligence officers dedicated to the transmission of information. The aristocracy, who were unaware of this, had no choice but to allow the "Parling" trading house, which had the exclusive right to sell, to take root in various places, so that the sales network that was difficult to enter quickly extended to the hinterland of the kingdom that had not been reached before...

The Pal Consulate Merchant House in each territory has a "Governor" who is in charge of the Merchant House Bosses in each town below, and the "Governor" is under the command of the "District Governor" of the five regions in the southeast, south, north, and west of the kingdom, and the superior of the District Governor is directly the city lord of Elson City, and when the city lord is not there, it is managed by the guardian Camilla.

The "Elson CIA" took a similar structure, independent of any other department.

A knife of paper was about 100 A3 sheets in size, and the cost of production in Elson was only thirty copper coins, but the cost of transporting them to the other side of the kingdom rose to an average of three silver coins when shipping to the other side of the kingdom. Even so, the low-grade papyrus, which had been sold up to 20 silver coins, was quickly sold out, and the market outstripped demand and the price of paper soared to 45 silver coins in a matter of days before slowing down - even at such an expensive price, a knife paper was more than 60 percent less than the cost of a "parchment" of the same size.

So the paper mill in Evtata can now be said to be not making paper, but making gold coins.

Charles II was so unreasonable that he angrily rebuked the nobles in the parliament and demanded that they immediately expel the Pal Consulate - but when he went to the toilet in private, he still had a dozen pieces of papyrus secretly used by the royal family to wipe their buttocks...

The emperor was straight-mouthed, not to mention the nobles below. They ostensibly closed down the Pal Consulate firm, but in fact they were told to change the sign and continue to open, while they turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it - so Charles II's orders became a dead letter, and Ivota continued to suck money like crazy.

In this era, the speed of goods transportation was not very fast, because most of the goods circulation was solved by individual traders, and when and what to sell depended on whether these merchants were willing or not. However, this problem has been completely solved in Evta today: the "Parling Merchant House", which has the support of the cabinet, now has a transportation network that the other trading houses in the entire Karon Kingdom combined cannot match. The combined fleet of transporters is more than 3,000 people, and the number of transporters on the road is nearly 1,200, and the number is constantly increasing.

The monopoly of the epochal trade in "paper" not only brought Evta an unimaginable amount of gold coins, but also sold more unsalable goods to the kingdom at a higher profit through the spread of a network of stores.

The efficiency of a power with a high concentration of power in the center is unimaginable in the lifetime of a feudal lord king.

Sally, as a duke, had never thought before... Evta, who had burned a lot of money to fight the war and almost tightened her belt to get through the New Year, had become so profitable in the blink of an eye - the Chancellor of the Exchequer's daily report on the amount of transactions she had a sense of unreality, but after the excitement and excitement, she was also a little depressed.

Because Sally felt that the gap between herself and Roddy was getting wider, and the once little border scout had now become a guy she looked up to, which made her feel complicated. But after the complication, she understood that she couldn't catch up with Roddy in strength after all, and being able to completely protect the territory as a duke was her only wish now.

Not long after such an idea appeared, the housekeeper suddenly knocked on the door with a letter: "It's an urgent letter from the Prime Minister, specially by... Well, the big bird called 'Da Da Duck' sent it. ”

Sally hurriedly took it to read it, and found that the letter was scribbled, it should have been written in a hurry, and the content made her frown even more: "Pit Viper Cross... Do you want to take a risk?"

She had already learned about the madness of the infidels, but what surprised her even more was the preparation that Roddy had asked her to do—as a staff priest of the Rosicrucifix, she had never thought of doing such a thing herself...

"A lot of people will die..."

But thinking of the signals that the Abbey of Ivota had given since Roddy's visit, Sally also knew that she had to make the decision she had to make.

In his position, seek his government. Sally would not have agreed to this plan if it was only the priest of the Rosicrucise, but as the Duke of Evta, this was the best solution - when the centralized Ivota saw the Rosicrucian as a hidden danger, why didn't the Rosiccross see Ivota in the same way?

So Sally immediately began to write two secret letters after a short period of thought, and then ran outside herself, and asked the huge duck to deliver the letters. (To be continued.) )
