Chapter 1 Deficits and Minor Accidents (I)
On the continent of Candohertz, in a place called the Peer Alliance, there is a new city called Lava City.
The city is very peculiar, its main inhabitants are orcs and merchants, and there are no taxes here, and even those who settle here receive a monthly subsidy from the town hall.
Therefore, there are many people who want to settle in Lava City, but if they want to settle down, they must go through a strict review, and anyone who has committed adultery will be kicked out of Lava City.
Except, of course, orcs.
Orcs are loyal to Lava City for a number of reasons. At the same time, the remaining orcs on the Candohertz continent are also migrating to the Lava Realm, because they see hope here.
Lava City is thriving, but there is discord in the town hall. Because the current consul of Lava City is arguing with the assistant of the Marquis of Lava.
Helena pointed to the documents on the table and yelled at Wen Yuan, "This has been a deficit for six months in a row, what did you promise me at the beginning?" ”
Wen Yuan casually flipped through two pages and threw the document into the trash: "Lava City is a new city after all, so we must increase investment. Besides, we have so much money that we can operate through capital. ”
This careless behavior made Helena furious, and she slapped the table and shouted, "That's not our money, it's the marquis's money!" I have no objection to you building a city, but you can't take the marquis's money to help those civilians. ”
Helena's anger made the officials in the city hall shudder, but Wen Yuan just lazily rolled over in the sofa, showing her beautiful curves while admiring the pretty face of the female general flushed with anger.
Although Helena is the archon of Lava City, her power is not as good as Wen Yuan's, so although she looks righteous and strict now, she is only a strong outsider.
What made Helena most angry was that after the marquis left, Wen Yuan took a plan called capital operation to coax herself, but she signed it by mistake.
But what do you get? It's six months in a row! This deficit is so big that even if you sell yourself, it will not be enough to make up for the deficit, so how could you have foolishly signed it in the first place?
In fact, there is another person in the town hall who is not affected by the atmosphere, and that is the orc Tana. Tana was amusing himself by fighting the landlord, and he was alone, playing the cards of the three houses.
At the height of the smell of gunpowder, Tana let out an untimely smirk, which allowed Helena to find a place to vent. Helena can't help Wen Yuan, but Tana is different.
Helena's gaze stabbed at Tana like flames. After feeling the gaze, the orc also raised his head in confusion.
Tana's puzzled expression made Helena even more angry, pointed to the orc's nose, and roared, "What are you laughing at, are you very idle?" Receiving a good salary but not working, you know how to fight the landlord all day long, are you worthy of the marquis? ”
The humble orc didn't understand why he was subjected to unwarranted accusations, so his expression was even more confused.
Helena felt like she was playing the harp to a pig, but she was still the stupidest pig, and instead of giving vent, her anger was even more intense.
"Go, bring the army, and bring me the Qinglan Principality to the east. They had robbed the lava collar a lot of things, and you can get it back for me now. ”
"If you can't make up for this month's deficit, you won't eat, and the lava castle doesn't support idlers."
Hearing that he didn't give himself food, Tana's simple smile instantly turned hideous. The food in the lava castle is all high-energy ingredients, which can be described as priceless, and not letting Tana eat is simply killing him.
Tana said viciously: "I will take back everything I saw!" ”
Then, he walked out of the town hall in a murderous manner.
Thinking of the scene when Tana ransacked the Duchy of Qinglan, Helena let out a bad breath, in the past, Grand Duke Qinglan had bullied herself a lot, and often laughed at herself for being a woman.
Just seeing Wen Yuan's smiling expression, the pleasure that Helena had just conceived because of revenge was gone.
Even if the Qinglan Principality is robbed, it will only be a drop in the bucket to make up for the deficit. The Lava Lords are just a marquisate, but the deficit every month reaches tens of millions of gold coins, and even the empire will go bankrupt because of it.
Lava Collar is too rich, though. No, it's the Marquis of Lava who is too rich!
The Marquis left Lava City with an operating fund, which was not gold, but a strange thing called a reward point.
Wen Yuan will take out some reward points every month to exchange for gold coins. You only need 100 reward points to exchange for tens of millions of gold coins.
Thinking of Lava City's deficit, Helena felt powerless, so her momentum dropped again and again, and finally became pitiful.
"Don't be embarrassed to be stupid, it's just a little bit of a deficit. Although it costs a little more, Lava City has become famous, and many people come to visit it. With a reputation, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money? ”
"Speaking of my capital operation, it is not without results, at least it has attracted a large number of businessmen. If these merchants can stay, they will spontaneously build lava lords. ”
"And I'm not rescuing civilians, the people who can pass the audit have a skill, and now it seems useless, when the lava collar is on the right track, you will understand what these people are doing."
Seeing that righteousness and strictness had no effect on Wen Yuan, Helena's tone softened: "Really? ”
Wen Yuan said lightly: "Of course, you don't compare this gang of earth bun dukes nearby with the lava collar. When I bring in the Void Magic Factory, you'll understand what it means to be rich. ”
"Only technology... Ahem, only magic is the primary productive force. If money is not used, it will not generate any value, and since we have so much money, why not use it to stimulate development? ”
Helena didn't understand Wen Yuan's strange terms, and she didn't care about them, so she continued to ask weakly, "The Marquis won't be angry when he sees these deficits, right?" ”
"Don't worry, the master has a lot of money and won't care about this little money."
After speaking, Wen Yuan glanced at Helena again and said, "It's really not good, you can still pay for it." ”
"Meat pay!"
Helena exclaimed, and her face flushed.
Because in the city hall, there are not only Helena and Wen Yuan, but also many officials.
However, these officials are all old fritters, and they know what to listen to and what not to listen to, so they all look at the nose and the nose and the heart.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the town hall, Helena asked like a gnat, "This... Is it really possible? ”
It's just this question that makes Wen Yuan smile meaningfully, and Helena seems to have thought of something, and her face is even redder.
