Section 241 Attracting Investment (I)

Solomon was retained by Lord Arya, and in the time that followed, she summoned him into the lord's palace and asked him questions.

These questions are all kinds of questions, and at first they seem to be curious about the travels of scholars and mages, and they are also asking about common questions such as where they have been, what interesting things or events they have seen.

Solomon replied one by one, and he edited some of his experiences in other planes into experiences on other continents or islands in this plane, and he answered them in a very funny way that Arya was very satisfied.

After more than ten days have passed, the first magic fax communication route established between Lonely Castle and Winter Castle has also been completed, but there is no way to connect it with a fixed magic pattern, so it can only take the way of magic relay, which requires one or several base stations as relays, but the trouble is that it is in the far north here, and it is more troublesome to maintain.

However, the effect of use made Arya quite satisfied and thoughtful after seeing it herself.

On this day, when Arya summoned Solomon again, she did not just ask him about his past experiences, but asked, "Mr. Aglavin, I have heard many interesting things from you, but I have some questions for you. ”

"Please, Lord Arya. ”

"Just call me Arya, I think the magical communication route you just built is very useful, you use magic very skillfully, and the scope of influence is not only combat, but also life, no, in fact, it also has an impact on combat, this kind of magic is very useful for long-distance marching commands, if there is such a thing in the war, it will undoubtedly take the initiative. Arya said.

"Huh. That is true. But the help for the war is not as good as you think. Because at present, this kind of single line can only be applied to fixed directions, let alone solve the field problem. Solomon replied.

"Well, that's right. Arya nodded.

But after a while, she asked, "But if I build a large number of magical communications like this in my Skyrim Province, wouldn't it be able to play a greater role than a single line?"

"Yes, Arya, but in this case, on a larger scale, it is not an easy task. Do you plan to do this within the boundaries of Lonely Castle or Skyrim Province?" Solomon asked, Arya was only the lord of Lonely Castle, and although the Queen of Wolfheart was very prestigious in the entire Skyrim Province, it was not up to her to build the entire Skyrim Province.

"Actually, I want to ask Mr. Aglaven how our Solitary Castle, and indeed the entire Skyrim Province, should be built and governed. Arya said softly, "I've always wanted to get an opinion on this issue, I've been inheriting the lord's position for more than three years, but in terms of governance, I'm just continuing the practice of the previous lord. This might give Fort Solitude a period of stability, but I don't think it's suitable for the future. ”

"Future. The future is likely to be turbulent. Arya sighed, "The Empire is at war with the wild elves. But it may not be able to achieve a complete victory, this time they asked all provinces to contribute, but to be honest, there are not many who are willing to contribute sincerely. The various leaders of our Skyrim Province also contributed to the establishment of the Maider Empire back then, but after the establishment of the royal family, they forgot about us in an instant, and went to curry favor with the Senate, which only remembered us when they fought fiercely with each other and needed support. I hope that under my rule, the people of Lonely Castle, and indeed Skyrim, can live a better life, and the magical communication you have only built is refreshing to me, and I have been taught how to defeat enemies when I was a child learning magic. ”

Arya told Solomon what she had been holding back for many days, she had become an archon as a young girl, of course, she could only continue to govern the Solitary Castle according to the previous practice, and she had no experience, even if she had any ideas for innovation, she didn't dare to ask too much of the people around her, so as not to be despised.

However, Skyrim Province is located in a cold region, which is not easy to live in, and of course, it has also cultivated a strong tribe like the Nord who have mixed with the local aborigines.

In the past, there were many disasters, such as the flood of Winter Castle, and in terms of war, Skyrim Province has made meritorious contributions to the establishment of successive empires, which meant the death of a large number of people, and of course, it is also because of this that their status has not changed after the change of dynasty.

But in any case, under the double blow of war and disaster, and the harsh natural environment, it is indeed not easy for Skyrim Province to develop.

"I was thinking that if we had this kind of magical communication in each of our cities, it would be much easier to communicate with each other, and people would not have to worry about shipping far away to do business. Arya said with her cheeks cupped.

Solomon's dealings with her these days showed that she was a woman in a high position, but her mind was not complicated.

"I don't know if you have anything to advise, sir?" asked Arya.

"You're right. However, if it is just this communication route, the Rand family has built it for free for their own interests, but if it is to be built on a large scale, the investment is very large. Solomon sighed.

"Can this allow the Rand family to build more?" asked Arya like an embarrassed little girl.

"They are businessmen. Solomon said implicitly.

Arya raised her head slightly after a moment of thought, "Oh, I see what you mean, they don't build for nothing, unless building something like this can bring them some benefits, right?"

"Yes, they're merchants. Solomon laughed, he was inducing Arya step by step to take the initiative to invite these outsiders to build communication, but of course, the arcane Skynet could not be built here for the time being, and the previous magic communication mode was quite suitable.

"Then, I can build one by one, and I believe that after seeing the usefulness of this method, the other lords are also willing to take out some wealth. Arya said.

"Arya, in fact, it can be financed. Solomon said.

"Financing?" Arya asked curiously.

"It's about borrowing money from people, so that you can start construction immediately and on a large scale, and you only need to pay a certain amount of interest. "Actually, if you really decide to do this, the Rand family can find a lender to finance the construction, but only with the help of a guarantee in your name, and the mining rights near each line as a source of collateral and interest payments." ”

"Well, that's okay. Arya suddenly realized.

"Yes, because the people who are willing to lend money to the Rand family are not expected to accept the currency of the empire, and if they collect such currency, they will either have to recast it to form a loss, or it can only be used in Skyrim Province, it is better to pay interest directly with a certain mining right, anyway, the mortgage is definitely needed. Solomon said.

Arya groaned, she was a woman, and she wanted to do something different from the previous lord, and she was still willing to use her own money to build some magic communications, but if the investment was too large to bear, she needed to be cautious when she needed to borrow.

Just as she hesitated, and even regretted bringing it up, Solomon said, "Actually, you are also out of good intentions to build magic communications, and there is no need for you to bear it alone. ”

"But if you need to borrow, the other lords may not be willing to agree. Arya smiled wryly.

"No, no, I mean it's entirely another way to operate. Solomon said unhurriedly, "Although it is a loan in your name, and you need to use mining rights as collateral and annual interest payments, even if these lines are built, they will need to be maintained in the future, otherwise the harsh weather in the far north, once there is a problem, no one will maintain and manage it, and it will be useless." The Rand family is definitely willing to build a company with you, in addition to construction, but also responsible for future maintenance and management, and the income can be promoted in the form of magic communication to all Skyrim Province, as long as you pay a certain fee to use, so that these lines will not only have maintenance and management expenses in the future, but also make profits, the Rand family will definitely be willing, and you can also get income. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. Arya's eyes lit up, and she looked at Solomon with a little more reverence.

Solomon smiled, with the establishment of the Solitary Castle Magical Communication Company as an opportunity, more and more new things will come to develop in this far north.

This plane has powerful Edra and Didra, they are high up, playing with sentient beings, but what they can see in their eyes and understand is only strong people like Brandy next to Solomon, so Brandy has always been obedient and has no unusual movements.

And for things that are ostensibly unrelated to power, such as trade and magical communication, Edra and Didra are also inexperienced, unless they can soak in all kinds of information on the arcane skynet for decades like the Mr. Cumminnathan that Rand met, but in fact these things definitely affect this plane.

Before the Kaos plane itself has cleared the hidden danger, it will definitely not use the means of invasion to deal with the Beesda plane.

Even in the future, I believe that when the information of Solomon and Rand is transmitted back, the countries may not necessarily use strong means.

If you want to plunder a plane, the principle is that if he is weak, he can directly get what he needs, of course, the civilized plane should find a reason, if he is strong enough, he must consider the price to pay for the implementation of tough measures, if there is no profit, or the price is too heavy, then there is no need.

But there is another way besides strong measures, as it is now, in the form of trade under the noses of Edra and Didra, and the ants move away little by little.

Sometimes there's not just one way to get there. (To be continued.) )
