After Sermena and the others went to the Dragon Palace, Sal knew that the matter could not be hidden, so he took the initiative to ask Mike to confess the problem.

"But, Brother Mike, there's one thing I don't understand, why don't you support such a wise plan?" asked the wise Thrall.

Mike couldn't help but laugh: "Then tell me yourself, where is your clever plan?"

"Nature is all!"

"Well, what is your plan for, and what are the benefits?" speak to Sal, and be patient.

"Of course, it is to make Sanzang Town have a stronger armed force, so that it can develop and grow. "Sal rightfully so.

"It's true that there are more powerful armed forces, but how can we help Sanzang Town grow and develop? If you want to capture the goblins, one dragon is enough, and what are you going to do with the other four, to conquer the city? But the unowned land around us can't be developed, and there is no need to conquer the city at all. In that case, what are you going to let them do?" Mike led Sal into a serious analysis.

Thrall thought for a moment and said, "They can always defend themselves against foreign enemies." ”

"They can't defend themselves against foreign enemies. I can't explain this for a while, but I can think about it from another angle, if they must be able to resist foreign enemies, do you think Sanzang Town can still develop?"

"What's not to do then?" Sal was stunned.

"Do you know how much money you have to spend every year, how much does Sanzang Town need to invest every year, and how much can it produce?"

"I don't even spend money. Sal thought it strange that he had never bought anything. "If Sanzang Town invests, I see that you have calculated, it is probably about to invest 15,000 to 20,000 in the first year, and 10,000 to 15,000 in the second year, and you will be able to develop on your own in the future. In terms of output, when there are 10,000 acres of arable land and the goblins are skilled enough, the output minus the consumption, the surplus is about 10,000 to 20,000 gold coins, and the scale of reinvestment at that time is still uncertain. But now that the Preg bandits have sent us a lot of good things, we probably won't need so much. ”

Sermina told him these things, referring to Mike's original "First Five-Year Plan and Development Outline of Sanzang Town", although he didn't understand everything, but he listened very carefully.

Mike took out the ledger and opened it, and No. 5 copied it from Sermena. "Your budget for this year's expenses is 10,000 gold coins, and now it's only the end of March, and you've already spent thirty and a half percent. Among them, the meat you carry from the Dragon Palace accounts for sixty percent, and Sermena also came to me specifically and asked if you can replace your favorite vegetable cube meat barbecue with vegetable and fish barbecue. I asked her to discuss it with you, but then it seems to be gone. ”

"It's ...... this," Sal was shocked. Sermena did come to him, saying that it was too difficult for him to go to the Dragon Palace every time to carry meat, and he did not hesitate to refuse if he wanted to eat grilled fish.

Mike flipped through a few pages and found another big item. "Food costs a lot but you don't overspend much, and you're overspending mainly because of spellcasting materials. Because you often go to catch goblins, whether it is casting spells or practicing much more frequently than in the Dragon Palace, you will not be free to cast spells and only use pearl powder and always exceed, resulting in this expenditure far exceeding the budget, reaching 30% of the total expenditure. ”

"Is there such a thing......" Sal was shocked again. Sermena did find him and asked him to learn how to cast spells, but this could be learned in a while, not to mention that he didn't want to learn it because he didn't want to learn it.

"In the end, less than 10% of it was basically within the budget, and the overspending was very small. Do you think Sanzang Town can still develop if it needs to bear three or five of your expenses?"

"This ......," said Salzhiwu, but then another question came to mind: "How did Lola and the others live in the mountains?"

"Hunt on your own, go hungry if you can't catch it, or eat trees. Didn't you just come out and eat magic bread for a few days? And they don't cast spells, at least not with pearl powder. ”

"Then can't they do the same in Sanzang Town?" Sal hesitated.

"No, I can't. Do you think that if it were you, there would be grain in the warehouse and cattle in the farmland, would you be hungry? It doesn't matter if you eat some grain, but how can you cultivate the land and open up the wasteland after eating the cattle and horses, even if you eat the goblins and gnolls, you can't do it, and Sanzang Town still depends on them to build it. ”

"This ......"

"So it's certainly not okay to let them do the same as before. When they were training during this time, didn't they just eat meat, fish and food every day, and the patrol could eat more meat when they hit the prey. ”

"Can't you let them be like this?"

"No, it doesn't. This is possible now, firstly, because the Preg bandit group left a lot of supplies before, and some things are spoiled if they are not eaten, and they can be wasted a little in a short time, and secondly, because we are all here, and they dare not come nonsense. I promised you to train them for a week, just to pick the most obedient. ”

"Then there is no other way?" Thrall was still unrelenting.

"Is there nothing you can do at the moment, or do you think you can get a lot of subsidies from the Dragon Palace, and you're willing to vouch for the damage they may cause?"

"This ......," Sal could figure out with his toes, neither of which was possible. "Only one head?"

"You can add a little white. "Xiaobai can dig holes, and the efficiency ratio is no worse than that of goblin kobolds.

"And who are you going to want?"

"Alan, both obedient and low-cost, but also capable enough. ”

"Alas, my poor fiancée Laura. Sal sighed, but had no idea of fighting for her welfare.

But there's Sermena. When she came to be a lobbyist, Mike was practicing shooting with the crossbow that Baker Jr. had ordered.

"Brother Mike, sister, I think it's better to be Lola. No matter how hidden this town is, I'm afraid it won't be able to hide for long, and after being discovered, in order to defend against adventurers, it is safer to have dragon knights to investigate. Elan and the others are not capable of flying 8 and 9 for a long time. If you want to save some money, you won't want Lola now, she will be sent to the mouth of the glacier in the winter, and it will be difficult to use it when the time comes. Sermena had agreed with Lola beforehand.

Mike nodded, and that was a reasonable reason. "Then it's okay to ask Allanga to white, you can hump goblins, and you can almost patrol all day. ”

"Da Bai has always followed Lola, where Lola is, where he is. "Sermena wants to do bundling. Elangafer, the cost is not much different from that of Loraza. At the heart of their strategy is to first turn one end into two heads, and then beat the opponent in a bundled sales model.

"That's right. Mike thought about it, if the Dragon Palace really wants to establish Glacier Town, it is estimated that once one is discovered, the other will be discovered soon, then they will most likely need two dragons.

"If you think about it, Dabai can dig dungeons even if he doesn't patrol, but Fairland can't. Sermena, they didn't hesitate to assign a hard job to Dabai.

"Is it willing?" Mike misses the 100-meter target. He had thought about it too, but he was worried that Thrall would not be a slave if he was gone.

"Don't worry, Da Bai listens to Lola the most, Lola lets it go east, it never goes west, even if it digs the dungeon every day, there is no problem. Sermena casually took a crossbow and shot it, but it was also missed.

"That's fine, but I have to say it, the treatment is the same as this time. Without Sal's magic food, it's impossible to eat high-quality meat like Sal, and you can't use pearl powder to cast spells. Mike stated beforehand. In this way, expenses can be reduced by four or five percent. Considering that Sanzang Town can also produce fish and meat by itself, more than 1,000 gold coins a year for the two-headed dragon is enough. In the end, do you want Xiaobai? Forget it, just have a big white, and it doesn't mean much to have another Xiaobai at present, so let it stay there to distract others.

"Don't worry. Sermena patted her chest and assured that Laura didn't ask for as much as Sal, "Dabai's treatment can be lower, and the potatoes are full." The two dragons add up to a subsidy of 500 gold coins per year, and we are not bad at that. ”

"That's good. Mike shot wide again. No one in Sanzang Town can train dragons, so Dabai can either be Lola's subordinate, in which case it doesn't matter how he is exploited, or he is willing to be his own subordinate, and now it is too difficult to do it, let it suffer more under Lola first, and save it from asking for this and that.

Sermena shot wide again, too, and picked carefully among the crossbows. "I said, Brother Mike, where did you get these crossbows, they are all light crossbows, and it's too difficult to shoot at such a long target. ”

"There's Pregg, there's Baker Jr. who bought. I didn't shoot because I didn't show my real skills!" Mike Zaitsev shot right in the heart.

Sermena was speechless, isn't this Rippy when you use the Bizhong technique.

Bizhong is a Tier 1 arcane art, equivalent to a guided attack, which is extremely helpful for near-range attacks, enough to make children who have never touched a gun comparable to an Olympic champion. The fly in the ointment is that the spell can only be guided once at a time, and the attack frequency is too low.

"Since you want to use magic, just release the magic missile, the attack power is stronger and the fight is faster. "Sermena picked left and right, and picked out a handful that suited her heart.

"You can't kill the enemy out of sight. Mike shoots again.

Sermena took Mike's crossbow and looked at it. "Yo, you have a crossbow that specializes in shooting projectiles, I can shoot three bullets in one shot and can also use crossbow bolts and projectiles for two purposes, why don't you use it?"

"A marksman like me can kill an enemy with one arrow, and any more is a waste. ”

"In that case, then it's good for me to use this handle for my sister with low skills. Sermena fired three bullets, all of which were missed.

"Weaponism is not advisable. Mike spoke earnestly.

Sermena gave him a blank look. "Brother Mike, you practice slowly, and strive to achieve great achievements as soon as possible, so that you can kill the enemy out of sight with one arrow. Sister, I have other important matters, so I won't play with you. By the way, who will do this stone bullet and crossbow arrow?"

"You ask Number One. "Mike, as an omnipotent time-traveler and a high-end mage, how can he have the energy to take care of such a trivial matter.
