Sugarcoat looked at Arrow curiously, and didn't answer his question for a moment. After observing for a long time, he suddenly spoke, "President Arrow, why do you have so many questions? And, Why do mayors have so few questions? What exactly are you in Pelican Town? ”

Ero paused for a moment, then smiled, "I'm just thinking about this matter as an ordinary townsman. As you know, I'm a guild leader, and our guild can also be regarded as a service industry, so I usually spend a lot of money to support our guild members, and if the price of food rises, the first thing that will be affected is our guild industry, which has a large number of people. So, don't be surprised, I really want to ask. ”

At this moment, the confused expression on the sugar-coated wine's face relaxed a little. He nodded and said, "Well, well." But President Arrow, if I really want me to say it, I still have to say that the price of food in Pelican Town is not that it can't go up, but that it's too cheap. A few iron coins can be enough to eat, but if these foods are transported to big cities and sold, they can earn several times the price! If a city needs to grow, then there are bound to be some compromises. At times like these, I hope President Arrow will understand. After all, if Pelican Town does develop into a tourist city as I hope, then the money your guild can make in the city will definitely offset your additional expenses! ”

The truth is correct, and this economic law Eero also learned it very clearly and clearly when he was in school.

But when it was time to carry out reforms, and the knife was to be placed on himself, he could really feel what flesh pain was! It also deeply understands why those vested interests who seem stupid and backward in the history books are so desperate to maintain the old social system. Those with vested interests! No one likes someone to take money out of their pocket, does they?

"Hmm...... Is it feasible to develop into an industrial or large agricultural city instead of a tourist city? ”

After hesitating for a long time, Airo finally made his own counterattack-

"If the area is stable and has sufficient infrastructure to be developed as a tourist city, it can also be developed as an agricultural or industrial city. When I was studying in the capital, I saw that the manufacturing improvement of the element machine has reached the stage where it can be put into practical use, right? The year before I graduated, the capital had even begun to light elemental lamps in the streets. In the future, the industrial age of mass production using magical elements will surely come soon, and it would be better if our small town developed into an industrial city. We have abundant water resources and forest resources, and there will be no shortage of water and forest elements on our side! ”

At Arrow's suggestion, Sugarcoat's brow furrowed again. At this time, he looked at Arrow with a look in his eyes that was no longer as gentle as before, but with a slight sense of vigilance.

However, this is normal, as long as any merchant is not a fool, he should be able to see by now that Arrow, the guild leader, may not like the construction route of the tourist city.

"Elemental machines did start to be used on a large scale in the capital, but I don't think there's any merit in industrializing in a town as remote as Pelicantown. After all, the town doesn't have special natural resources. Or are you planning to make money by cutting down the Shining Forest or digging up the stone mines of the Eternal Sleep Mountains? ”

Arrow smiled and said, "What's not to do with that?" Forests and mountains are a resource in their own right, and we can sell them to accumulate capital in advance. And there is no need to abolish all the agriculture and handicrafts in our small town in one go, and directly change it into a tourist city with an extremely single economic source, right? ”

Even if it was round cheese, he felt that the atmosphere was starting to burn a little. At that moment, the mayor hurriedly raised his hand and smiled: "Oh, everyone is just discussing~~!" President Arrow! I know you have some ideas in mind, but ...... But you see...... Mr. Sugarcoat is still ...... after all 5,000 gold coins! So? Hey hey, so ......"

It stands to reason that Eero knew that he really shouldn't stand in the way of the town's development.

But the shadow of Earl Cap's previous economic war has not yet fully passed, and now there is another investor who wants Pelican Town to completely abolish agriculture and handicrafts and completely switch to tourism. Once Pelican Town really becomes such a city, then once it suffers from some food crisis, then there is no need to wait for Ben to figure out how to plan, but the entire town will be destroyed in a minute!

Will you be able to run by yourself then? If you really run away, go back to a new town and start a guild again, and then have to complete the goal of 1,000 gold coins in three years in the little time you have left?!

Of course, if this old gentleman is willing to give himself five or six hundred gold coins in one go, then don't say that you have thought about changing Pelican Town into a tourist city, even if you want to change Pelican Town into a large cemetery, he will have no opinion!

Well...... Have you really become a complete villain?

Just as Arrow began to fight a little for his thoughts, the old man over there looked a little ugly. He shook his head slowly, and turned to Round Cheese: "Mr. Mayor, I came to Pelican Town because of your excellent management ability, hoping to make an investment. But as the mayor of the town, did you just watch such a guild leader say these things in front of you? Who is this child? Mo is not your relative? Or do you think I'm so sincere that you want to try to knock me out again?! ”

"No, no, no, no! Oops, Mr. Sugarcoat, you're making a big joke! How could I have done such an immoral thing?! Or, or so! You go back and rest today! Expanding the town really required me to consult with everyone in the town. I'll get back to you when we've come up with a result! What do you think? ”

The old man frowned, the relaxed expression that had appeared on his face in the morning had now become cloudy. He looked up and down at Arrow with a slight suspicion, and after a moment, he nodded slightly.

"It's okay, it's getting late now, and I'm really sorry to disturb Mr. Mayor today. Since you still need to have a meeting, then I can wait, I just hope that you will be able to give me an answer soon. ”

Sending away the icing, the smile on the round cheese's face relaxed with relief.

Mayor Mare looked back at Arrow with a look of unhappiness.

Naturally, this expression Arrow could also understand, so he could only smile faintly at him.

"President Arrow, it's really not that I don't want to stand with you. But...... But that's 5,000 gold coins! I don't understand, anyway, you're also a member of our town, and our town usually treats you mermaid songs well, right? Besides, the town has grown, the population has increased, and your business has naturally increased, I really don't understand why you have so many problems? You know, that's 5000! 5,000 gold coins! Remember, that's 5,000 gold coins! “

Arrows can't just say that they are short on time and have heavy tasks, so they hope that the town will not develop into a tourist city. If it really wants to develop, the industrial city that has developed into a magic element machine may be able to make a little more money. At that time, logistics work is really indispensable, and this kind of work can be carried out at the beginning of the transformation, so that you will not make no money.

"Anyway...... How about building a road first? ”

In order to deal with the mayor of Round Cheese, Arrow thought about it, and made this suggestion anyway-

"Whether it is a tourist city or an industrial city, roads need to be built. But the road leading to the outside world in Pelican Town is full of gravel and potholes, and the most common way to walk is a two-horse carriage, and if you go faster, your bumpy stomach will vomit. So let's make the road to the outside of our town a little bit better, how about it? ”

Since Arrow had proposed so, the mayor had nothing more to say.

He sighed, could only nod, and said, "I will notify everyone to have a meeting in the next two days, and you can also come and express your opinions." You are talking about people, I have made so much money in the past few decades, and I feel that my life is still passable and I can still live. But since you led us to make so much money in the office meeting war, our people's minds have begun to come alive involuntarily. I always feel that we should be able to earn more and make our lives better! So...... Alas, no more! President Arrow, go back to dinner too. ”

When it comes to round cheeses, Arrow, of course, understands it.

People who have never tasted money have a lot of money all at once, and they naturally want to get more.

It's as if a scavenger that has tasted blood will pounce more quickly in the direction where the food is.

Arrow: He knew that he had made a start, so if he wanted to step on the brakes, it might not be so easy.

Over the next few days, under the organization of round cheese, some of the biggest names in Pelican Town began to gather in the mayor's office for a meeting.

For this town expansion plan, most people's first reaction after hearing about it is naturally to cheer. The starting capital of 5,000 gold coins is quite tempting anyway!
