Chapter 209: Hidden Wealth!

Yifeng didn't come to participate in any celebration because he was idle.

As the actual host of the construction of a new territory, Yifeng's various cumbersome things are simply annoying. Every day, I have to listen to the various work reports of my subordinates and give corresponding instructions.

The construction of a poor territory is not a simple matter. As the guardian knight of Erabella who was personally canonized by His Majesty the King, Yifeng should take on this responsibility. Irabella was too young to know anything about it. It's okay for the Maginot captain to march and fight, but as for these civilian jobs, he can only do it. Alkins is a qualified government helper, but unfortunately he is not a direct leader, and he has to ask Yifeng for instructions on everything. Actually, it's asking for money.

For this reason, Yifeng had to hide in this place to be clear for a while.

The elves' home construction is happy and fruitful, but why is it so difficult when it is their turn?

All kinds of chaotic emotions that can't be sorted out and can't be messed up suddenly made Yifeng feel a lot of emotion, how could he be in a good mood.

"Boss, why did you hide here!

Sure enough, it didn't take long. Alkins, the haunted guy, appeared at Yifeng's side on time, full of dissatisfaction. God knows how he got here through the elven sentry? Since last night, Alkins has been clinging to the wind like a dogskin plaster that can't be shaken off. Even when he went to the toilet, he would squat behind him and chatter.

Yifeng suddenly felt that his head was as big as a cow. With such tedious work, there is no one to make decisions for you but yourself. Robin, an amorous fellow, has already gone hand in hand with a good female elf to drill into the bushes. Irabella was also heartless and dragged into the girls' dance group by Luo Xiaoqi, and was dancing in an arc with a shy face of scholars and elves.

After all, as an administrator, attending the inauguration ceremony of the new homes of the people of the territory is also an important job!"

Yifeng laughed dryly, avoiding Alkins' resentful eyes, and replied solemnly.

It's like the mayor always attends the ribbon-cutting ceremony of some major business celebrations, which is a valid reason.

"I don't care about that!"

Alkins didn't buy Yifeng's account, and as soon as he came up, he grabbed Yifeng's hand tightly and didn't let go, as if he was afraid that he would slip away.

"I have an important intelligence report here! In the past few days, the orc spies who have appeared outside the fortress have become more and more dense! It is estimated that the orcs will not be going south for a few days. ”

Alkins looked tired, his eyes red, as if he had not slept all night.

It's late autumn, and at this time of year, the orcs always come to loot at harvest time so that they have enough supplies to survive the long winter. Calculate the time, and it should be this time. No wonder Alkins is so worried.

"Didn't I give you the money?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Yifeng was also helpless. The territory construction has just begun, and everything is not yet clueless, but it is time for the orcs to step in sideways.

As early as last night, Yifeng couldn't stand Alkins's entanglement, and paid the army's salary that was owed for several months overnight. According to the generosity of Yifeng in the past, this should not be a reason to complain. But when the money is used, there is little hatred, and Yifeng's ability to search is very strong, but now the territory is ventilated on all sides, and the days of using money are still ahead, and Yifeng, who is generous, has to be careful in his calculations. After all, there is no reasonable source of funding yet, and a little less is used.

"Where is enough!"

Alkins learned to ask for money during this time, and when he mentioned it, he chattered his fingers and began to settle accounts for Yifeng.

"The orcs are coming! What can we do with those 2,000 people? This army must be expanded! Once it is expanded, it involves armaments, personnel, and defensive measures, so where is the money?"

Alkins handed Yifeng a piece of paper, which showed that this time the orcs used unprecedented strength, almost pouring out, even in the previous unnoticed place of the Toulon fortress, there were tens of thousands of troops, or partial divisions.

"A group of disciples from your Lanxiang Academy have also moved over. You need to designate a school site, and the cost of building a school is also money. In addition, there is a shortage of food reserves and arrows. ”

Things were cumbersome, and Alkins was worried about his hair.

Yifeng knew that Alkins was doing his best, but the truth was in front of him, and it was not realistic to escape.

He pulled Alkins to sit down on the grass, handed him a glass of elven wormwood wine, rubbed his head, and said with a painful expression.

"Let's talk about it! There's always a way to fix it!"

Alkins drank it all, smashing it in his mouth, his brow furrowed, and he looked at the wine glass in his hand. This wormwood wine is a specialty of the elves, green and fragrant, but it has a bitter taste.

"In a word, our population base is too small! With people, everything is easy. If there are more people, it will be easier to recruit troops, and the tax will also increase, and the construction will not be so manpowered!"

At any given time, the size of the population is an important indicator of whether a territory is rich or not. Alkins' words are not nonsense, and he has obviously put a certain amount of effort into it.

However, in the bitter cold land of the northwest, and facing the southern invasion of orcs, how can we attract a large number of people to come?

There are no convenient conditions here, and it is unlikely that the development of tourism resources will be possible. The entire Atlanta population is poor and white, except for a bunch of idle nobles, who has the leisure to travel?

"Or, let's also learn from Ping'an City and build a casino?"

Seeing that Yifeng was also at a loss, Alkins cautiously suggested. To tell the truth, the gambling city of Ping'an City is a daily income, and Yifeng used to have one in Atlantus, and he knows the benefits well.

"No! we don't have anything on our side. Why compete with others?"

Yifeng shook his head and dismissed the suggestion. The rise of Heian City is a special case for the entire continent, and it is not applicable to anyone and everywhere. What's more, it's only hundreds of miles apart, so why would people want to come to you to gamble in a broken place where you have nothing?

When the two of them were sad, Meghan came over with a glass of wine and a smile.

"My children, today is a great day for our elves. Why don't you go in and have a few drinks?"

After Megan let go of the burden of the Elf King, she was obviously in much better spirits, and she was also able to carry out this kind of territory construction with ease.

Yifeng couldn't help but complain.

"Your Majesty, may I ask why you are so happy when you stay in such a place where there is nothing?"

Megan learned of Yifeng's distress and laughed.

"My children, you only see the surface of things, please follow me!"

Standing in front of a flower bed, Megan pointed to the soil that had just been sown and had not yet sprouted.

"What is planted here is a kind of flower tea of our elf clan, and in the spring of the next year, when the spring flowers bloom, our elves can pick and make flower tea, which is exported to the sea. Its leaves can be made into a kind of bread, and it is the favorite food of our elves!"

Megan dragged them both to a jungle and pointed to mushrooms popping up on the ground.

"This is also one of our foods. ”

Finally, his big hand circled the entire forest, and he said in high spirits.

"Don't be fooled by its appearance. As long as there is land, as long as there are hands, so there is endless wealth buried!"

Wealth!?

Yifeng nodded thoughtfully, looked at the reckless mountains, and seemed to see golden mountains shining with golden light. (To be continued.) )
