"Of course there won't be any trouble." Josh asserted directly. "Don't forget that this is my territory, if I have any plans, then I am in charge, and it is not my turn to come to me to talk nonsense, right?"

Well, Josh's answer is simple and straightforward. This is my territory, then I am in charge of everything here, anyway, as long as there is any conflict with the laws promulgated by the Empire, then it is not a problem at all, although Frank felt that Josh's approach was too ruthless, but he still nodded.

"By the way, Frank, what's our economy doing here?" Suddenly, Josh remembered another problem, and that was the problem of the economy. After all, Josh used to study liberal arts, and even when he came to this world, he saw more of the customs of this world, and then all the knowledge about magic, and he still had a headache for managing a territory.

"The economic situation is still relatively optimistic." Frank recalled for a moment and said immediately. "According to the records, during the month of Rainy Palm (March), the hunters of the territory began to consciously hunt some wild beasts and began to stockpile, and we also planted a lot of wheat in the month of early budding (February), so that we could harvest enough wheat to make bread and other things before the month of the Hearth (September) and sell it for a fortune."

"But my lord, I don't think we should sell this food, because then we can deal with any special circumstances, such as being looted by robbers."

Josh listened to Frank's words for a while, and he wanted to ask about economics rather than agriculture, but after a little thought, he reacted. In this kind of society, I am afraid that the richness of a territory is largely determined by its agriculture, so there is no problem with Frank's answer.

"You're mistaken, I mean our money! Money! How much money we have is not a question of food. ”

"You're talking about money." Frank was stunned for a moment, then thought quickly, and quickly gave an answer: "We probably have more than two hundred gold coins in our hands, not a lot, but it's not too little." ”

"That's a lot." Josh nodded. Frank is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, and what he told Josh is how much gold is in the territory instead of Josh's personal gold coins, and of course there are still two hundred gold coins in the treasury of the territory, and Phoenix is very satisfied.

On Muya Road, one gold coin is equivalent to a hundred silver coins, and one silver coin is equivalent to a hundred copper coins, and a civilian's salary for a month's work is about one to two silver coins, which is already a very good mix.

You must know that the price of a loaf of bread cooked with wheat is almost ten copper coins, which is not cheap, if it is those black breads, it is about three copper coins, so two or three silver coins a month is basically a good life.

"Frank, when you've got the population clear, I'm going to hire the permanent residents, preferably those who don't have jobs, so that they don't beg on the streets all day, and of course I'll pay them."

"Pay them?" Frank was surprised, as he had heard for the first time that a lord had recruited the inhabitants of his realm to work and had to pay for it. "Actually, you don't have to give them a copper plate at all, and they'll do it, as long as you can give them some brown bread so they can eat enough."

"Give them food directly, so what if you give them money directly, and then they can use it themselves?" Josh glanced at Frank. "When they have money, they will spend and buy daily necessities, and then the merchants will buy farmers' plants in order to meet their needs, which is a way to stimulate the economy, and when everyone has money, it will be easier and more convenient for us to collect taxes."

"And you can get more!" Frank quickly reacted, he was not stupid, he just listened to Josh's story, he probably knew Josh's thoughts, although such an operation seemed unheard of on Muya's road, which made him feel incredible.

"My lord, when did you start researching these things?"

"These things need to be studied?" Josh said unhappily, "These things are so simple that you can think of them after a little thought, I really don't understand what you're doing." Also, immediately give me the census to find out, and I will quickly recruit a group of people to get the city cleaned up. God, I don't feel much in the castle, and when I go out, it's like I'm in hell! ”

In fact, it's almost the same everywhere, except for the imperial capital. Frank smiled bitterly, but he didn't say it, and he could see that Josh was quite dissatisfied with the sanitary conditions in his territory. However, he also has some questions, when did Josh start studying politics and economics?

In his mind, Josh has always liked to read some anecdotes about the continent, and then he devoted himself to the study of magic, although it seems that he has close to the third level of magic but he can't even use a single elemental magic.

"Could it be that His Highness Josh is also peeping into that position?" Frank secretly thought, of course, he thinks that it is really normal for Josh to have such thoughts, he is also the son of Augustus IV, why should others have the opportunity themselves?

"It's just that Your Highness Josh, you don't have enough helpers and enough strength."

Frank didn't dare to say these words, although they were shocking, but they were. Of course, it's a good thing to be ambitious, and if Josh does accept his fate and become a salted fish from now on, then Frank will feel that his future is in danger and find a chance to return to the imperial capital, even though he has always felt that his future is in danger since he came to Constantinople.

"Take your time, take it one step at a time, at least His Highness Josh doesn't seem to have accepted his fate. I don't know if God is jealous or punishing him, there is no powerful magic but no cooperation of the elemental elves, and now he can only use tricks, which is too sad. ”

Josh didn't know that he was being pitied by his butler, and if he knew, he would have condensed a Void Blade and stabbed him in the chest, and then told this guy that I just didn't have a magic inheritance before, and now I'm not a waste.

Of course, Josh didn't bother to do this, void magic had never appeared in this world, and even space magic was basically a legend left by characters after becoming gods, and only gods could dominate space. Josh is no different from an ant now, but he has something similar to spatial magic, and exposing it is no different from looking for death.

"It seems that I still have to find a way to learn more other things in the future, preferably that kind of attributeless magic." Josh pondered as he approached the castle, but soon he felt like he was overthinking.

"But the randomness of this Void Gate is really fucking up, and I can't seem to enter the world I want to go to, which is a shame. Otherwise, remember which world has that kind of attributeless magic or something, and secretly go over to learn it. ”

Talking to Frank about a match, the two soon returned to Constantinople, and it was not an hour before they went out and came back. This surprised the ladies in the castle, but they were not qualified to take care of Josh and their affairs, and soon went about their own business.

And Josh also took advantage of this time to go back to the room and start to consolidate his magic, he didn't know how to collect Void energy, but the skill can be remade every seven days, so Josh also began to silently prepare for his next trip.

The first is the issue of one's own strength, which is the most critical. Thinking about his tragic encounter with Valoran, Josh is painful, it is a shame for a mage, and in his memory, it seems that except for the protagonist in the novel, there is basically no one who can be killed by a mage by a warrior at the same level or not much different.

And Josh has set a precedent, although Galen is a protagonist in the Valoran continent, but there are more than a hundred protagonists and heroes in Valoran! And in the game, Galen is just a character who will be chosen for entertainment and abuse, or if he is happy.

Although he is still quite restrained in the game, some mages are still quite restrained.

"It's in line with Galen's personality, hating mages and restraining mages."

Josh sighed and stopped thinking about the humiliating things, and soon began to meditate along the mental track. Soon Josh 'saw' the silvery white magical elements in his body, and now Josh had confirmed that they should be called Void Elementals.

There are a lot of void elements in his body, but what makes Josh distressed is that he still underestimates his control over this void element, if the void elements in his body have converged into a big river, then the void element that Josh really masters is only about the same as a stream, and the rest is completely out of his control.

"What a waste." Josh lamented mentally, but there was nothing he could do. It was still no problem to join him who was able to master these void elements in his body at that time, not to mention that he could just hang up and hammer a third-order (Valoran was about the sixth level and almost the seventh level), but unfortunately it was only a matter of thinking.

Of course, Josh didn't just lament, he quickly mobilized the void elements in his body to continuously fuse and devour with some uncontrolled elements scattered around the edges, although the speed was not very fast, but the effect was still there, every time Josh completely devoured a void element, he could feel that his strength had increased somewhat.

A little bit of it, a little bit, a very, very small one. But it's better than standing still, isn't it?
