Section 240. Autumn Harvest

Liberty City's September revenue was five hundred and thirty-four thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight kinnars.

of which the tax was three hundred and twelve gold coins; The revenue of Faste pants, umbrellas, corsets, lemon sodas, and soap was 5,563 gold coins, of which lemon soda and soap were very popular, accounting for almost half of the revenue; The profit from the magic muskets and magic cannons purchased by Count Ulmit and Lady Ollock was six thousand and seventy-three gold coins; The income from the magic image is 522,780 gold coins.

Finances are abundant, and it's time to spend money next.

The first is the Mage Tower. Ingrid purchased nearly 400,000 gold coins of Orichalcum - both the Mage Tower and the Floating City need Orichalcum to stabilize the building, and there is never too much.

The stalled Mage Tower resumes construction, giving a home to those mages who choose to stay.

The remaining 100,000 gold coins were used to trade with other countries and to pay the workers.

This is what sets Free City apart from other city-states: behind the ports, shops, and farmland of the outside city-states are the shadows of the aristocracy that control them. In Liberty City, behind this infrastructure is the Lord's Palace.

This is normal, as was the case in the early stages of the city-state's development. For example, in Montreal Hill, the gold family that controls the market behind it has been in control for nearly a hundred years before gradually delegating power due to interest exchange, mismanagement, corruption and other reasons.

However, Annan does not intend to delegate power, and at most sells some real estate and small businesses that do not involve people's livelihood to businessmen.

After all, other cities don't have the Liberty City as a means of making money - they can afford to lose money, and there is no need to divide the profits among the insatiable nobles and merchants.

With a steady stream of revenue, Editia accelerated the construction of theaters everywhere and took the first steps in a cultural invasion in the South: opening the first theater in the Gang Duo Collar.

The place where Etilia wants to get her hands on the most is Wilhelm...... But the place was ironclad, and the forces of the huddle and their arrogance gave them no chance to get involved.

Annan took Itilia to ask the old ancestor for advice, and the old ancestor said that Wilhelm was the most xenophobic place. Even the Golden Family would be prejudiced in Wilhelm.

On the bright side, the nezumi can't have a mole in Wilhelm like they do now.

Wilhelm is the eternal Wilheim......

Usually when you say that, it's going to be a big deal.

On the other hand, Annan's troubles are also endless. After three days, Annan fell asleep for the second time and encountered the same sad story again.

Annan confirmed that the Demon Maharaja had really made a comeback.

The distress of the nightmare is that the demon archduke uses the people around Annan to manipulate the nightmare, including but not limited to a reenactment of the fall of the Mage Tower, but the heroine is Olmedo...... Because it is too real, Annan always confuses reality and dreams. The third time, he had to make a truce request - to fall asleep with the Philosopher's Stone.

Interestingly, when Annan falls asleep with the Philosopher's Stone, he returns to the familiar shores of the lava lake – but after the screening of When Liberty Knocks on the Door, the imitator's crooked melon and cracked date work is played, Annan is thrown back into the nightmare.

It seems that the remnants of the Demon Lord's anger will not be extinguished.

Annan wakes up and asks for foreign help: he calls the Bert brothers and asks them how long "Dream Princess" will be?

"My lord, before cooling down."

Brothers Betty, Tina, and Bert are in charge of The Dream Princess. Annan transferred them when filming "When Freedom Knocks on the Door", and "Dream Princess" was temporarily stopped. However, the Bert brothers also learned the art of shooting magical images up close.

"Dream Princess" is still two months away, and the magical images outside are shoddy, Annan has to passively accept the nightmare and try to build up tolerance.

On the bright side, at least no one else is qualified to watch the nightmare story woven by the Demon Maharaja.

In mid-September, the autumn harvest is approaching.

The wheat fields north of Villefranche City turned into a sea of gold. Most of the people of Liberty City have been lifted out of poverty, but they are still happy about the harvest.

A few days before the harvest there was insignificant autumn rain. On harvest day, all 200 skeleton ratmen set out to harvest the wheat.

There is also a lack of manual grinding of them to process the grains.

Annan thought that manual grinding was too slow, so they built several windmills in the north.

Taking advantage of the interval, Annan also did something.

For example, in view of the fact that there are too many tourists who come from afar to taste succubi, their service process is standardized. There are also finicky desires, and Annan allows them to do whatever they want in Liberty City, as long as it doesn't violate the Liberty City Code.

As a result, these lustful demons either disguised themselves as down-and-out girls to create a love opportunity for heroes to save beauty. Either he made an appointment with the professional in the tavern all day long, or he squatted around the city lord's mansion all day long to guard Annan.

Annan also found time to find the "second smartest" Edge—but there were only seven of them.

"Which of you thinks you're smart?"

One Edge retreated, and seven had six left.

"Which of you went to school?"

One Agee withdrew, and six had five left.

"What kind of intentions does the brown curtains of the City Lord's Mansion reveal?"

One Edge was speechless, and only four of the five remained.

Tom and Jerry rushed from their respective homes to each other, Tom was traveling at 5 kilometers per hour and Jerry was traveling at 3 kilometers per hour. They are 10 kilometers apart. How long will it take for them to meet? ”

One Aegie answered incorrectly, and only three of the four remained.

"Liberty City's revenue for September was five hundred and thirty-four thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight kinnars. of which the tax was three hundred and twelve gold coins; Faste trousers, umbrellas, tunics, lemon sodas, soap and other specialties were worth five thousand hundred and sixty-three gold coins; The profit of the magic musket and magic cannon purchased by Count Ulmet and Lady Ollock is six thousand and seventy-three gold coins, and the rest is the income of the magic image, how much is the income of the magic image? ”

One Aji can't speak, and only two of the three are left,

"One windmill runs for one hour and processes the equivalent of a hundred workers working eight hours, and Liberty City is ready to build three mills. Suppose the autumn harvest of grain in Liberty City is 3,000 tons, and one worker grinds 100 kilograms of grain a day: how long does a windmill need to grind, and how long do three hundred workers need to work? ”

One of Aegie miscalculated, and only one of the two remained.

Annan looked expectantly at the last remaining Edge, and there were some problems, but when it came to the four-digit four-digit operation, he was also stumped, and there was no one left.

This instead brings out Ivana Serre's cleverness - Aggie became second because his wisdom was only second, and she became first because the highest was only first.

But it is still worth cultivating: because as Annan asked, Olmedo was third, Etilia was fifth, Elimoas was tenth, himself was seventeenth, and Rela was second and third.

Leila single-handedly lowered the per capita IQ of the City Lord's Mansion.

Annan didn't ask Martin, but fortunately he didn't.
