Chapter 108: Rainy Day

During the events held at Thunder Bluff, the atmosphere of the city was lived, and the Salts and Grey Dwarves were interested in such fresh entertainment. And began to take the initiative to learn the rules of these activities, and in their spare time, they built a small entertainment venue in the city, and spontaneously played these sports.

The newly opened shops in the city that sell all kinds of ball equipment have also ushered in a peak period of profitability. The so-called wool comes out of the sheep, although the finance of Thunder Cliff spends a lot of money on these activities, but in fact, it can drive internal consumption very well, although most of the small entertainment venues are open to citizens for free as urban welfare.

However, if you want to enter a better venue, or hold a competition with each other, you need to apply for a rental of a large facility in the city. At the same time, all the clubs that teach the rules are also opened by Mo Yan, and if you want to learn how to play as soon as possible and get professional guidance activities, you must spend money in the club. For a long time, the cost of Thunder Cliff will be able to pay for itself.

In this atmosphere, the rise of culture in Thunder Cliff was a complete success, and at the same time, it also ushered in the second long rainy season in the Hill continent. The pouring rain fell as usual, turning the whole world into a land of swamps, and the various monsters in the forest began to come alive.

Cabinda and Lobito, which have become small towns, are starting to prepare for this year's Una. The young people of the village polished their weapons and armor and prepared to follow their fathers into the forest, to the caves at the foot of the mountain, to fight their first battle as warriors. The irony is that the weapons and equipment they use to kill monsters are produced by the cities built by monsters.

"Boring...... It's so boring......" Jones hugged a big pillow and buried half of his face in it, and looked at Mo Yan, who was dealing with official business not far away, and complained: "It's not even good to go out and fly around in the rain, it's really boring to be in the house all day." Master, don't you feel annoyed that you sit like this every day and watch those boring things?"

This is the room specially divided into Mo Yan's office in the White House, and there are almost no other utensils in the huge room except for a large black square long table. A bright red carpet stretched from a two-sided door to the front of the desk, and on the wall behind the minotaur was a tapestry of an accurate map of Elam, flanked by a number of carved monster statues of the gray dwarves and stone standing flower pots, and several small tapestries of Thunder Bluff banners hanging from the Greek columns.

The floor was paved with marble tiles, which were wiped clean by the servants, and the light that filtered through the large windows on both sides allowed it to faintly reflect the shadows of the people standing on it. While this shows a luxurious beauty, it also makes some gentlemen think of other special uses.

"Are you bored?" Mo Yan looked at Jones who was rolling on the bed and sighed and said, "But even if you are bored, don't bring the bed to my office, I will play with you when I finish dealing with these things." It's just a joke every day, and the gold coins won't go into the vault of Thunder Cliff on their own. ”

"But is it just boring? Jones didn't listen to Mo Yan's explanation and pouted: "If you want any gold coins, go and grab them directly! Why spend so much time trying to find a way to get it, anyway, those human ants also like to do this, thousands of years ago, they only need to release a little bit of news, and these humans who are fanatical about gold coins will immediately rob the dragon's lair under the banner of justice." ”

"There are many kinds of robbing. Mo Yan continued to look at the documents in his hand, and commented on his decision and said: "The kind you said is just a simple use of brute force, which is not only very risky and not high-paying, but also offends everyone directly." And I'm actually robbing, but I'm using a much more clever method, safe and without anything to say. ”

Just as Mo Yan calmed down the bored Jones, Lilith pushed open the door of Mo Yan's office and walked in, deliberately walking on the marble floor without a red carpet, only wearing a short skirt, her waist swaying from side to side, and the hidden gods in the skirt loomed.

After Lilith walked in front of Mo Yan, she handed a report that integrated the Drow Elves sent to other cities in Elam, stretched out her hand and handed it to Mo Yanmei and said with a smile: "This is an urgent contact just sent from Drow stationed in other cities, it seems that many cities have passed unfavorable proposals. The news arrived almost simultaneously, and most of the city councils in Elam decided to impose heavy taxes on goods from Thunder Bluff. ”

Mo Yan took the report handed over by Lilith, flipped through a few pages, most of them were the same, and he was not particularly surprised to see these nodded slightly and said: "It seems that these Salt people have finally been smart once, raising tariffs is indeed an effective means of resistance, even I will feel very tricky in the face of such a situation." If there is no high income from the export of goods, Thunder Cliff will not be able to maintain a high salary for too long, and the economy of Thunder Cliff will be hit a lot if it cannot be paid. ”

Mo Yan leaned back in his chair and looked back at the map of Elam behind him, and then looked at the cities that passed the bill in his hand, pondered for a moment and said to Lilith: "You send someone to call Regel, I have something to arrange for him to do." Lilith smiled even brighter when she heard Mo Yan's words, nodded and walked out of Mo Yan's office.

Lilith already roughly understood Mo Yan's way of dealing with it, and since she had called Regel, who specialized in dealing with things in the dark, she didn't plan to solve such a thing in a conventional way. Although Mo Yan can also think of some good ways to deal with it, it is too slow in that case.

After Mo Yan waited for a while, Regel, dressed as an SS soldier, walked in. He strode over to Mo Yan's table, knelt down on one knee and bowed to Mo Yan and asked, "What is the city lord looking for me?" The costume designed (copied) by Mo Yan himself was worn on Legel's body, and the appearance of wearing a hood gave him a sense of mystery, not only did he look cool but also had a good hidden surname.

"Look at this. Mo Yan handed the report handed over by Lilith to Regel and said: "Recently, Thunder Cliff has encountered some troublesome things, and I don't want this matter to have too much impact on Thunder Cliff, so I plan to use some not very honorable means to solve it, this is a task I have given to the SS." ”

"How do we do it. Regel quickly read the document in his hand and asked briefly to the minotaur in front of him. As a presence in the dark, the SS didn't really need to know much, just what to do with the target. But Mo Yan didn't think so, he felt that it was better to let these executors understand the content of the task in detail, so that they could be flexible when executing, after all, they were not stupid people.

"I need to set off a march in all cities across Elam. Mo Yan thought for a moment and said to Regel: "Thunder Cliff is affected because of this tax bill, but we can't directly comment on it, otherwise they will find out that this is Thunder Cliff's weakness and grasp it." I need someone to secretly stir up the emotions of the citizens of those cities, and the citizens will not be satisfied with the increase in the price of high-quality goods, and if someone can organize it at this time, then a wave can be formed for the parliamentarians to eliminate that proposal.

On the bright side, I will also support you, I will stop the construction of welfare facilities in some cities, and close some places that have already been built, which may make the people in the city dissatisfied. What you need to do is to amplify this discontent, make it as big as possible, and let the councillors in the city see the consequences. ”

After listening to Mo Yan's words, Regel had a general understanding of what he needed to do. Although he has never done such a thing, he also understands how to control it, which is not much different from inciting riots, it is just a measure of grasp. After receiving the power of attorney from Mo Yan, Regel turned around and left the office to arrange for manpower.

Recently, the SS is training orphans brought back from the city of Parliament, and some manpower is needed to deal with this problem. And after Regel left, Mo Yan also roughly finished processing the existing documents, and took the complaining Jones to the game room in the White House.

At this time, in Carthage, beyond Elam, a group of dark-skinned slave warriors were marching through the mountains full of monsters. Most of these slaves were purchased from Carthaginian plantations, while others were freed from factories in areas captured by the Maroes.

They were led by a young girl in armor, who had been approved by the Princess Regent of Carthage, and who had dozens of knights to help her lead the army. Although she couldn't get the knight named Trist into her army, the knights assigned by the princess were also very good.

Today, the army that set out from Sarasin has expanded several times after months of campaigning. Not only has it recovered some of the lost towns, but it has also made a name for itself among the Maro. Compared to the mercenaries who did not fight hard, or the limp Carthaginian warriors, these slaves were more hard-fought and able to fight.

The maiden promised them the freedom they deserved as long as they could serve for a full year. Of course, such a statement cannot make these slaves pay for their lives, what really touches them is the love and tolerance of the girl. What happened in the slave market made all the slaves willing to die for her.
