Chapter 537: Unprecedented Currency Issuance
Are those guys here camping?
In the city of Ulduar, who had ended the call with Leluxiu, Arin looked at the report in his hand at a loss, the black wolf mercenary group stationed in the fortress of Belica had not moved so far except for sending a small number of light cavalry to the forest to investigate, but the garrison of the fortress of Belica was furious, because of the large group of mercenaries who went out, the food hoarded in the fortress could not be transported to the entire warehouse. Prince Rost has already sent someone to negotiate with the Black Wolf Mercenary Group for the second time, either go to the forest immediately to complete his mission, or hurry up and return from there.
And the black wolf mercenary group is also procrastinating to make Rost feel extremely uncomfortable, I don't know why, you must know that thousands of mercenaries stationed in the Belica Fortress every day it costs a lot of money, the Saxon Kingdom is not interested in providing them with food and other supplies for free, so far these mercenaries have spent millions of lien to buy supplies from the Belica Fortress, if it weren't for the fact that the Belica Fortress is now hoarding a lot of food, it may have been eaten up by these mercenaries.
"My point is very simple, Mr. Hegel, there is not much food left in the fortress now, and we cannot continue to provide food to your mercenary group, so you must quickly decide whether or not to go to the forest to find the so-called elves. ”
The clerk sent by Prince Rost said to Hegel, the deputy leader of the Black Wolf Mercenary Group, who was just playing with the gold coins in his hand as if he hadn't listened, but the female mage on the side kept talking to the officer.
Apparently the Advisor has prepared the perfect excuse this time. A sentence that the Belica Fortress did not have much food to block the female mage, and now the mercenary group can't buy food even if they take money, and the black wolf mercenary specially brought more than a thousand mercenaries because of this operation to capture the elves. These more than 1,000 people have not only failed to play a role, but have become a burden.
"Miss Luna, I'll just say it bluntly, it's useless for you to buy it with money, and now that the food stock in the fortress is seriously insufficient, we must give priority to ensuring the supply of soldiers. If you don't leave, you're going to have to stay and starve, understand?"
Dropping this sentence, the clerk left in a huff, and the female mage, who was called Luna, sat down and looked at the tall deputy chief on the side.
"Okay~ What should we do now?Where did the leader send any news?"
"Yes, if you stay with us for two days, if there is still no news about the Eagle Mercenary Group, you will withdraw it. ”
Luna's answer made Hegel frown: "What the hell is he-the leader of the mother thinking?" Did we come all the way here just to camp? Now we don't do anything and run back in disgrace, you must know that we have consumed at least two or three million riens during this time, and even if there is money in the mercenary group, it is not this way. ”
"It's someone else's money that's burned anyway. What do you care about so much?"
Suddenly, Luna suddenly said something that made Hegel feel inexplicable, and Hegel felt that this time he had come all the way here to capture the elves, and that it was not as simple as capturing the elves, but for other people's money!?
Hegel couldn't sit still: "Who hired us here?"
"I don't know, go back and ask the chief. ”
Luna replied and walked out without speaking. The non-stop snow outside made the female mage suspicious. Can a creature like an elf really survive in such a harsh natural environment?
If the female mage's gaze could be fixed into the depths of the Misty Forest, thousands of miles away, perhaps she would be speechless in astonishment.
Nestled in the middle of a forest surrounded by blizzards and crystallized forests, the town resembles a green island in the middle of a white ocean, home to elves she thought were impossible, and nearly 3,000 people. It's just that today seems to be very lively, and a large number of elves are gathering near the portal in the center of the town to trade with many newly built shops, and there is a large warehouse built next to these shops, where many elves transporting food, cash crops and various medicinal materials are selling.
"What a beautiful cloth, ah! There are glassware!"
"What a clean sugar, not even a single impurity. I can just buy some back, I haven't made a good dessert for a long time. The kids will be delighted. ”
"It's great to have pig iron, you can make more iron arrows, the arrows that have been sent out before are almost used. ”
In addition to various spices and spices such as sugar, salt, pepper, and star anise, there are also various colors and cloths, delicate and transparent glassware, and various iron products such as axes, saws, shovels, and large quantities of pig iron, coal, and even magic crystals. It looks like a huge department store, and you can't help but want to buy.
The trading area that Ulduar had been preparing for a long time was finally opened, and on the first day, these daily necessities attracted a large number of High Elves to try to buy them, but the Snow Elves, who were in charge of coordinating the trade, rejected the High Elves bartering and were only willing to accept a new currency, and the only way to obtain these currencies was to use the surplus goods in their hands to trade in the nearby warehouse area.
The elves are not ignorant of financial and monetary transactions, and when they used to live on the mainland, the elves also used the main circulating Rien currency to trade, and now the main reason why it has become a primitive trading method of bartering is because the products are not rich after finally having a habitat, and now with the development of the elf towns, the products have gradually increased, and various by-products are also increasing day by day after retaining sufficient food. And Yalin and Schunezel also launched a monetary policy at this time, which is naturally very timely, and there is not much opposition to the new currency elves, after all, they are still under the fence, and the new currency also has a stable credit value. With the new currency, anyone can exchange the huàn equivalent of grain, salt, and sugar on the exchange.
Soon the elves were mobilized, and a large amount of surplus food and cash crops, as well as medicinal herbs, furs, ores, and various poultry collected from the forest, were all sent to the exchange. This time it was time to get busy with the Snow Frost Elve, who was in charge of trading work on the exchange, and Luini Shacuri, who was in charge of the trading work.
With long sea-blue hair and the temperament of a big sister, Lu Yini, who usually seems calm and calm, couldn't help but be a little hurried at the moment: "The sixth and seventh trading areas will be responsible for the identification of gems and minerals in three hours, and the city of Ulduar will send several gemologists over, and the ninth trading area will give priority to the identification of medicinal materials after thirty minutes." ”
"Miss Luyini, there are only three hundred kilograms of sugar and pepper left, do you want to approve another three tons?"
"Approved!"
"The second warehouse is full, and the convoy transporting personnel has not yet returned. ”
"Temporarily classify the goods to the other party outside. The population of this town is not large, and the amount of goods produced is not very large, so it can be dealt with temporarily. ”
Luini coordinated the work as the commander-in-chief, and the High Elves reacted more enthusiastically than expected after the launch of the currency. Every day, many elves send many different things to exchange for huàn currency, such as various carvings, semi-finished leathers, various strange medicinal herbs, and even some gems that elves occasionally pick up in the forest, so many different people need to value these things. And because of these accidental gems, the Frost and Snow Elves also used them as clues to discover an open-pit gem mine with a very low mining cost. Mainly sapphire and emerald. In the area where the crystallized forest has been north near the Yanod Mountains.
The Snow Elves and Dwarves have begun to assess the open-pit gem mine. Mining operations will begin after the planning is completed, and the workers Shangarin decided to hire the High Elves to work as much as possible, both to make efficient use of labor and to speed up the implementation of the currency.
In the bustling trading area, cloth and iron products are the most popular items, followed by seasonings and spices such as salt, pepper, and sugar, and most of the elves are self-sufficient in food, thanks to the magic farm function of the summoning system. Both Ulduar City and the Elven Habitat have maintained an extremely high yield of food. It's just that in addition to basic crops such as rice, wheat, and potatoes, the elves have not opened up more agricultural areas due to the number of people. For this reason, the elves are still very scarce in terms of food, and sometimes some of the wild strawberries and apples and other fruits collected by the elves in the forest will become rare.
After all, it doesn't matter if the elves don't eat meat for a month or even a year, but it's definitely unbearable to not eat vegetables and fruits for a week.
While the trading area was busy, the portal began to shine with magical brilliance again, and now that they were accustomed to the snow elves coming and going through the portal, the High Elves were no longer in awe of the portal as they had been at the beginning, and when the convoy responsible for transporting goods slowly drove out, the elves in the trading area were still busy with their own business. However, when several figures walked out with the convoy, some elves still focused their eyes rather unexpectedly.
"It's so lively! It looks so much more lively than in Ulduar!"
The girl, with long pink hair and a beautiful face no less than an elf, is looking at the crowd around her with a gentle smile and joy. The girl is followed by a teenager in military uniform and a petite and cute girl in a gauze skirt, and the reason why the elves are eye-catching is that all three seem to be human.
It's just that when some elves noticed the true face of the small pet like a small animal in the arms of the girl with long pink hair, the elves suddenly didn't dare to come out, and everyone almost subconsciously took a step back and tried to keep themselves away from the girl.
Because the girl is not holding a pet in her arms, although it does look very cute, but a little knowledgeable elf can feel that the girl in the arms of the girl is covered with white scale armor and has a pair of small wings like a lizard-like creature exudes a terrifying atmosphere, it is not a pet and a lizard, although it is small, but it is completely certain that it is a young dragon belonging to the dragon family!
