Chapter 119 Forming a Group to "Open Up the Wasteland"
As news of the opening of the "Emerald Scales" spread, more and more residents of Garlanord began to notice the presence of these aliens in the Whispering Forest.
But when Andrarui's fame spread to Garlanord, the voices of those who questioned and opposed it gradually became heard.
Most of the opponents were the elderly and their relatives who had lived through the terrible war, although they were in the minority of the vast majority of the vacillating general population. But most of the elves who had lived through the scourge of that war were elders of high prestige in the starry villages and towns of the Whispering Forest.
In the society of elves, they are in a rather awkward position. The elders who are of high moral standing are usually the ones who hold real power, such as the elders of the watchmen. Although there are many of them who reject Andrari, as the actual rulers who can influence the entire kingdom, they will weigh the gains and losses of everything more from the perspective of the interests of the kingdom.
And Andrari's development trend can undoubtedly give the vast majority of people full confidence. This was one of the reasons why Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was able to convince them to agree to Andrari's establishment on the border of the forest.
And those who are not up to the same level, but they are enough to affect the old school of the entire elven kingdom. At the lower levels of the kingdom, it is they who are constantly instilling the demon threat theory to the younger generation of elves, and for the upper echelons of the kingdom, their passionate statements and powers cannot be completely ignored. In some ways, their attitudes have begun to affect those who are conflicted and vacillating in their positions, invisibly influencing their every decision.
In places unbeknownst to André, the hostility against Andrari and the Children of the Abyss was gradually turning into an unstoppable and unstoppable surging.
......
And the young demon leader who lives in Garanord is still worried about his daily lessons.
Not to mention the red tape etiquette, at least Andrei only needs to remember the part that is closely related to himself. And some etiquette that is not commonly used, in special situations that need to be used, someone will naturally remind him on purpose, as long as he knows it in his heart and does not panic on the spot.
But those elves have accumulated over thousands of years, and the civilization of the entire forest and the teachings of the goddess Galandia has caused the children of the abyss a great headache. Every detail that records the code of ethical conduct is as close to the familiar case files that lawyers need to consult in the information age!
Unfortunately, André can't ignore them, because Andhrari's legislation largely needs to refer to some of these scales.
This set of laws is to be implemented throughout the Whispering Forest in the future, and as the largest audience among them, the Children of the Abyss must take more care of the elves' feelings. If the law is not widely recognized, its deterrent and enforcement power will be greatly reduced.
The business of jade fish scales is actually a very simple matter. But when it is in the ancient royal capital of the elves with a history of tens of thousands of years, every detail here has to be done according to the rules of the elves.
A very simple example is about cooking fuels. In the world that Andrei is familiar with, natural gas, petroleum gas, biogas, lotus coal, in short, what is convenient, everything is based on economy and convenience as the core needs. Although these conditions are obviously not available in this world, Andrarui also uses some fuels other than firewood to make fires for cooking, such as raw coal or coking coal that has undergone a simple coking and desulfurization treatment.
But in Garlanord, the elves are very unanimous in their rejection of this fossil fuel, which André sees as having a great deal. Their reason is also very simple, the burning process of coking coal produces some pungent odors that are not very prominent, but this is unbearable for the elves with keen five senses. After all, the primitive process methods cannot carry out economical and effective pretreatment of raw coal. Andrari's coking process was already the best of the Abyss's children and alchemists' collective public relations, but in the eyes of the conservative elves, this obviously unnatural smell of fireworks was still a desecration of this ancient and quiet land, which they believed would invisibly erode the foundation of the elves, the great world tree Garanord.
Even if André thinks that with the turnover of emerald fish scales, such a small amount of sulfur-containing compounds is for this prehistoric giant tree the size of a city, and even if it wants to be used as a fertilizer to supplement it, it is estimated that even a small amount of sulfur dioxide can be completely absorbed by those ancient trees on the ground. Even natural charcoal has a certain flavor when burned, but the elves subjectively believe that the breath of nature is completely different from the minerals that contain "dark magic" buried under the earth.
Elves who have decided on their own point of view will not have the heart to understand the Biochemistry Popularization Course of the Children of the Abyss, and even the more receptive alchemists will not be able to fully understand the chemical systems that Andre preached, but those who still maintain their sanity will still agree with the wisdom of the alien highness - no matter how much these fossil fuels affect the environment of the forest, the process will not happen overnight. Only time will bring the real answer, and whether or not they will cause ecological damage if used in moderation is not scientifically proven to convince anyone.
Most of the elves, however, were reluctant to bother with these new ideas that seemed useless to them, preferring to believe in the ancient traditions they had followed for thousands of years, especially when some resentful people were behind the scenes of the entire nation.
André hadn't thought about it that deep, but he thought he wouldn't be inferior to anyone else in the forest about a commercial, biologically operated project.
Although Garanord is protected by the World Tree, it is a unique city made up of primeval forests, but it is not enough for a few restaurants to exhaust it.
Since you are going to follow the old traditions, then I will do as you say. The Child of the Abyss knows very well that new things will always encounter all kinds of obstacles in the process of being accepted by people, and if he becomes angry because the truth he believes in is not understood by others, then there will be more things that will make him angry in the future!
So the jade fish scales began to buy firewood from the elves, anyway, the cost of ingredients here is almost zero, the fish only have the labor cost of the sea tribe boys, and if the demand for vegetables is not large, you just want to pay the elf gardeners will think that you look down on them. Large-scale acquisition of various spices...... The list of costs simply touched the shrewd Gru, and the goblin felt that half of his life had been in vain! If he had obtained the "Certificate of Permanent Residence in the Whispering Forest" earlier, he and his brother would not have understood how much to endure for no reason! Garlanor is full of inexhaustible wealth, it just depends on whether you have the ability to transform them into coins that are as beautiful as works of art, but more provocative than art!
Compared with the final price of the jade fish scales, Andre is also a little worried that the elves who have little concept of labor costs will feel that the seemingly cunning goblin boss is crazy to make black money! After all, according to the cost of materials, the profit of the jade fish scales is at least ten times more than the cost! Even if the labor is counted, the total cost is less than 30% of the profit.
Since everyone wanted to use a more traditional raw fuel in their cooking, Gru bought firewood at a price tag as they wished.
Every day, tons of firewood are gathered together, and it is up to the elementalists to speed up the drying of them with formations powered by wind magic. It sounds ridiculous to say that the glittering rewards attract them not because they are worth themselves, but because people can't stand it when others have it and they don't - they are so beautiful, not to mention that picking up some firewood seems like a gesture to the elves. Many people originally came here to get paid just to own a full set of new coins!
This is ridiculous! A few days ago, Gru was still agonizing about not being able to effectively inject large amounts of liquidity into Garlanord!
Wood becomes money in the hands of the elves, and coins in the hands of the generous elves turn into sales in restaurants, which is the simplest and most effective virtuous economic cycle that André points out. In addition, the sales of restaurants have increased dramatically in the past few days, and considering that Garanord is a city with a population of more than 100,000 people but few entertainment and leisure facilities, Gru is already considering expanding the store and hiring some local employees directly from the elven royal capital.
You must know that even their home base, the small but prosperous Andrari, lacks all kinds of human resources due to its rapid development.
......
A month later, André is still continuing his training sessions in the dark. Gru, however, found that the sales of the Emerald Fish Scale had once again fallen into a growth bottleneck, and the fact that the population and size of the restaurant were in front of him made the goblins feel very unscientific. Andhrari, with a population of less than one percent of the Elven King's capital, has several restaurants with different styles and tastes, and on the surface, those are far more lively than the Garlanord branch.
After nearly half a month of careful observation, the clever goblin still discovered the problem in time.
-- Although the number of customers in the restaurant is not the same as before, the customer flow group is highly overlapping! As the novelty passes, the turnover of the restaurant even shows signs of slowly declining. The guests of the Emerald Scales were almost all leisure people who were willing to exchange firewood for payment, as well as the people to whom Andhrari belonged to the supplies that Andhrari had procured on a large scale.
In other words, although Andrew's plan to increase capital investment can be regarded as a success, the currency that entered Garlanord was not fully circulated, and it remained concentrated in the hands of a small number of people. Faced with such a situation, André immediately opened a new grocery store, which not only sold various specialties such as weapons and tools cast by Andrarui, but even resold various products of Garlanor on the spot.
All of these things are settled in Singapore dollars!
Then the small number of "rich people" finally began to use the money they kept because of the abundance of items that could be consumed, and the elves who were engaged in other jobs and had special skills also had more ways to obtain coins.
Although these currencies in circulation are still a drop in the bucket compared to Garanord's population base, they always have to be eaten one bite at a time. With the cooperation of the goblin manager, His Highness has used his wisdom to open up a pattern that has not changed for thousands of years, although this is only a small change, but Gru feels that he is proud of what he has done these days!
As Andrei's class came to an end, the Children of the Abyss decided to add a fire to the two shops that were becoming more and more lively.
"Let's start a hot promotion!" Andre confidently suggested to the goblins.
"Promotion?" Gru didn't really have any real experience of the novelty word.
"That's right! Let the sales and currency circulation roll more violently! We must use our own strength to use the magical economic system as a weapon in our hands to completely knock on the closed door of Garanord! Become the first alien to successfully occupy the entire elven kingdom!"
The goblin who was mobilized by emotion in just a few words clenched his fists, he had never really understood that the vast mind of His Royal Highness Andre actually contained this great ambition that was not inferior to that of the legendary demon king five hundred years ago!!
But if this is not the case, how can he be the child of the abyss who has made the whole Andrari, as well as many elves and dwarves, revered from the bottom of their hearts, and represents the unique wisdom of the demon world!?
Looking at the goblin manager's clenched fists and enthusiastic face, André found that his clumsy mobilization performance was really effective against this group of simple employees.
