Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The other half of the time is spent writing scripts, of course, this script writing is for him to recall the literary works he has read before, select the suitable parts of them, and use his imagination to make up for them.

In addition to Alexander and the Forty Thieves being a must-write, he also had to write some small scripts, because before the second film was launched, the Daffodil Troupe also needed to perform, and the wood elves also needed script practice after joining, and they were extremely reluctant to religious dramas, which Wang Qinian specifically mentioned to Lizibao, so Lizibao naturally proposed the need for a new script.

In order for the wood elves to integrate into the daffodils faster and turn this burden into a tool for themselves to make money, Wang Qinian could only agree.

However, some of the classics in his mind are not ready to be released, and some scripts are not suitable for the current environment, so they can only be thrown out slowly with social changes and environmental changes.

So in addition to the scripts of Alexander and the Forty Thieves, he wrote small scripts of some of the fairy tales he remembered for the Daffodil Theatre to practice and perform.

In this month, he wrote "The Godfather of Death", which reveals the equality of all people, "The Three Little Pigs", which uses intelligence and wisdom to defeat the evil forces stronger than himself, "Wild Swan", which represents the struggle between good and evil, "Thumbelina", which praises goodness and beauty, and "Daughter of the Sea", which praises love, and so on.

He will continue to provide Lizzie in the future, but some stories may have to be modified when written as scripts, such as Little Claus and Big Claus, which directly portray the church pastor as a villain.

Although he promised that the Wood Elves would not take a stand, and there was no ecclesiastical power in the Free City, it did not mean that he wanted to confront the church so quickly, and the adaptation of the godfather of death was already the current limit, and if it was in a city with a church, it would probably attract the hostility of the church.

A month passed in a hurry, Wang Qinian finally didn't have to be in such a hurry after submitting a batch of scripts to Lizibao, the later scripts could be written slowly, and he could use the time for magic, he could start to continue learning magic mathematics, and take the opportunity to ask Chris for advice when he was playing against the elves.

On this day, Wang Qinian, who was talking with Ewell and preparing to go to the dwarf workshop in the future, was suddenly summoned urgently by Franklin.

When they came to the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion, there were quite a few people.

In addition to Master Xi Criss, Bernhard, and Captain Cleveland, there are a few others.

After being introduced, Wang Qinian learned that the other people were the two interior officials of Liberty City, the financial officer of Franklin, and the tax collector in charge of taxes.

Several internal affairs officials, financial officials, and tax officials couldn't help but express surprise that Wang Qinian could attend such a meeting, and even Wang Qinian himself felt a little confused, because the quartermaster was only equivalent to a squad leader of the city guard according to his position.

"Today's meeting is to settle some problems, and after two months of continuous trade with the orcs, we're in trouble, Criss, tell me about it. ”

Chriss is the city's Master of the City, but in reality he is basically the first person under the City Lord, and Bernhard can now be seen as his assistant.

"The problem we are facing now is that the orcs are demanding more and more trade, and they are almost out of our capacity. In the past, it was mainly to trade with the Munks, but since the last time the Rhine's Sidipat came, the Rhine and Bill also joined the trade, and directly joined the trade group to trade, just last month, the Fox clan also officially joined the orc trade group, and I heard that there will be orc tribes who will join this trade group in the future to trade with us. ”

"Such a huge transaction represents an astonishing amount of wealth and profits, but it is very unfortunate that we are also in the process of urban expansion and the funds are very tight to cope with the growing scale of the trade. But we can't limit it, because a big reason for the current peace between us and the orc tribes is based on trade relations, if we restrict or even break it, the relationship with them will deteriorate rapidly, and they will go to trade with other cities, the free city is based on commerce, although there are many handicrafts now, but the proportion of handicrafts and agriculture in the income of the city is still not as good as commerce, we need trade to get wealth, exchange food. ”

In the trade between the Free City and the Orc Tribes, the Barter method is adopted, and both parties have to use a large amount of physical goods in exchange for the trade, so the Free City needs to spend money to purchase goods.

"I can increase taxes when I build yì, and the tax rate in this city is lower than that of Modo, and it can be mentioned that it is the same as Modo. The tax officer said.

"I don't want to raise the tax rate until there is no way out. At the beginning, I wanted to build a city that belonged to everyone, I was just the manager of the city, and I didn't want to greedily collect money from everyone. Franklin rested his chin in his hand and his elbow on his lap.

Raising taxes is the most direct way to increase the revenue of the City Lord's Mansion, but Franklin doesn't want to raise taxes, in addition to the reasons he just said, and the slightly lower tax rate of Free City is also one of the reasons why merchants from all over the world come here, and the trade of Free City is not just trading with orcs, it is also a paradise for merchants from all over the world.

If the tax rate is increased and the number of merchants decreases, then the income of the city lord's mansion will not necessarily increase, but may decrease.

But trade with the orcs is not only an economic problem, but also a political problem, which must be solved, if the orc tribe cannot be satisfied, the originally good relationship between the two sides will be cold because of this, and if the orc tribe establishes good trade relations with other cities, it will even be an enemy of Franklin in the near future.

In the ensuing discussion, Wang Qinian continued to listen without saying a word.

The Interior Governor and Chrissy went on to say that the Lord's Mansion's right of first trade must be maintained, because it could control the direction of the orcs' trade, and every time the Lord's Mansion exchanged most of the orcs' trade goods for wine and daily necessities, leaving only a part for them to trade with the market merchants, so that the orcs' chances of obtaining weapons and other dangerous goods were suppressed, and although they could still be obtained, they were all sporadic and fine products, not batches, so that there was always a huge difference in equipment between the Free City and the orc tribes.

In the past, when trading with the Munks, the Munks were at ease to do business and make huge profits from it, but that Sidipater seemed to be different, and now the orcs wanted to get out of this kind of control by increasing the amount of trade, which was a silent confrontation between the two sides.

It is not that the city of freedom has not been at war with the orcs at the beginning of its existence, and the current peace is based on the premise that the orc tribes can hardly destroy the city of freedom, and the city of freedom can provide a mutual market.

However, the orcs were not willing to let Franklin have control of the mutual market, and Franklin was not willing to lose this control, because if trade was completely liberalized, the orcs could get a lot of sophisticated equipment, and the trade priority of the city lord's mansion itself represented a huge profit.

Perhaps in the future, this qiē will change, trade with orcs will be freer, and even quasi-allies with orc tribes will be formed, and restrictions on weapons will be relaxed, but that will depend on the relationship between the two sides.

At this stage, Franklin did not want to lose control of trade.

But if you don't want to lose control, you must have enough money to buy goods, so you can eat most of the orcs' trade goods, which is not easy, it used to be dominated by the Munks, but now it is several tribes, and it is likely to continue to increase in the future.

Although most of the orcs' commodities were marketable after the trade was successful, the pressure on the funds required before the trade was obvious, and it was almost impossible to pay a large amount of credit to the interior in such a large commodity transaction.

If this qiē was the work of the orc named Sidipat, he would have been far beyond the level of the Munks, not caring about the momentary gains and losses, but focusing on a higher level, trying to break Franklin's monopoly on trade.

"We can borrow money from merchants we have a good relationship with, and then use it to buy goods that we trade with orcs. Another house minister had another idea, and he said cautiously.

"Against, borrowing can only solve the shortcomings once or twice, and cannot solve the long-term problem. "The treasurer is against it, and the loan will have an impact on the reputation of the city lord's mansion.

"Owen, do you have any good ideas?" Franklin suddenly looked at Wang Qinian.

"Me?" Wang Qinian was stunned.

"The deed you submitted to me last month, hoping to be notarized by the City Lord's Mansion, I have already read it, and I have to trust Criss's judgment of you, and he thinks that I am underestimating you by only letting you be a quartermaster. If you have a great idea, say it. ”

"Well, I did think of a solution to the castle lord's problem. Wang Qinian suddenly said in his heart.

Hearing Wang Qinian say this, the others couldn't help but listen, but the internal affairs officer, financial officer, and tax officer who were not very familiar with him couldn't help but be a little disapproving, they didn't believe that a teenager could come up with any way to solve the trouble in front of him, after all, money would not fall from the sky.

"Before I talk about my method, I want to talk about the currency against huàn, you should know something, right?"

"Of course, you know that this is happening in every big city, especially in the big commercial cities, and in the Liberty City, and even in the market, we get involved in the industry temporarily. The treasurer snapped.

"Currency exchange is charged a certain fee, and if you want to keep it, you can charge a certain fee. But the way I think about it is the opposite, we help people keep their money, and in turn give interest. Wang Qinian said.

"Reversing interest?" everyone was stunned.

"Yes, the wealth of the many merchants deposited in our hands will form a huge amount of money, and the lord of the city can use this money to solve the increasing trade volume of the orcs. ”

"It seems like a good idea. Chrissy was the first to react and gave a positive assessment, "We can use the banner of convenience for businessmen." ”

The City Lord's Mansion is now short of funds, but there is no shortage of funds among the merchants who come and go to the Free City, and Franklin may be able to borrow from some of the merchants, but the long-term borrowing will definitely affect his reputation, and it will be known that he is running low on funds in the trade with the orcs, and will face both internal and external pressures.

And with Wang Qinian's method just now, it will be different under the banner of convenient businessmen.
