"Now in the south of Kodwin is the Earl of Karn, who is the nephew of Hensett by blood, twenty-three years old this year, and has just inherited the title, although he lacks prestige, but he has a rich family and a large group of small nobles, but he has few soldiers and little practical experience."

"To the north of Kodwin is Hensett's cousin, the Marquis of Eraset, who was once a general of the Brown Cavalry Battalion with a heavy cavalry under his command."

"Although he could not be compared with the Earl of Karn in terms of financial resources, he inherited the ideas of Hensett, and there were a bunch of conservative aristocrats who supported him."

After the conversation was over, the two continued to wander through the wilderness on deathclaws, and Francesca told Wayne about the current politics of the Kingdom of Kodwin.

"Now that the human aristocracy is busy taking sides and co-opting others, our efforts to rescue our compatriots have become smoother, and because of the spread of the fog, places outside the cities and towns have become less safe, which has caused many refugees to want to squeeze into the cities."

"Even the Warlock Brotherhood has appointed many Warlocks to be stationed in the cities surrounding the Mist, keeping an eye on the situation there."

"They are also worried that the spatial crack will continue to expand, allowing more powerful monsters to come here from another world, and it is estimated that there are many high-level warlocks who are studying how to seal this rift."

"It's a pity that researching a new spell can't be done in a short period of time."

"So no one knows when the matter of the Kingdom of Kodwin will be resolved."

Wayne nodded, and under Francesca's introduction, he had a general understanding of the situation in Kodwin and even the northern countries.

It's basically the same as the original book, but because of the problems with Kodwin, which caused turmoil in some surrounding countries, there are some differences from the original book.

He thought about the wording, since everyone is going to deepen cooperation in the future, it is also appropriate to disclose some information now.

After thinking about it for dozens of seconds, Wayne coughed lightly, and waited until Francesca looked at him before he spoke:

"Ma'am, I actually have a plan, a big plan, and maybe in this regard, we can cooperate."

When Francesca heard this, she immediately showed an interested expression.

"Oh! What is the big plan? ”

"I'd love to hear you share your plans."

She has a good impression of Wayne, whether it is his mind or strength, he is basically no more brilliant than him among the younger generation of the elves.

And in order to deepen her trust with Wayne and seize this strong potential stock, even if she suffers a little loss, she is willing to join the cooperation.

"Hmm!"

"How so? Madam, as one of the managers of the elves, you should also realize the importance of money. ”

"In this world, money is a powerful force, as small as the bits and pieces of civilian life, as large as the change of the throne, the formation of armies, and even the wars that affect the whole world, it will be affected by money."

"But if the money is just sitting there, just in the bank or just in the treasury, it doesn't do anything."

"It has to be taken out, it has to be put into operation, so that everybody chases it, everybody desires it, everybody is willing to work for it, and then it can be turned into power."

"In this world, in addition to the title of nobility, the most important thing is the kind of ordinary people who are willing to do anything for money."

Listening to Wayne's words, Francesca's face became more and more interested, and at the same time, many things that he had not thought of before appeared in his mind.

She used to just use money as a tool to hire others and maintain a comfortable life, and never thought about it deeply.

After all, the elven kingdom in the past had so much wealth, but it still failed miserably in the hands of humans, and so many gold jewels were just like dung, and they couldn't stop the footsteps of humans at all.

So although Francesca is a rich woman, she doesn't pay much attention to wealth, and the Valley of Flowers is basically in a state of isolation, and she doesn't even need money to circulate, and gold has no value there at all.

Wayne's words paused for a few seconds, and looking at the elven sorceress's slightly glittering eyes, he continued:

"I plan to form the largest chamber of commerce in the north and build a business network covering the entire north, not only to grasp the intelligence of the entire north, but also to realize the power of money by recruiting guards, recruiting merchants, recruiting talents, controlling prices, and so on."

"Perhaps, the witchers and elves are weak beings in the north and are targeted by many people, but the power of money is equal in front of all races."

"As long as we manage it well, those nobles are willing to betray their king for money, and those soldiers are willing to fight for us for money."

"We can indirectly control a country's economy by controlling prices and controlling the buying and selling of goods."

"Although this is not a very direct power, if it is used well, it is an extremely powerful power, which can control everything in the human world, and it is not surprising that it can be called the power of the gods."

As he spoke, Wayne felt that his words were like a magic stick, and he had an infinite worship of money.

But it's true, in addition to the existence of extremely powerful personal power, the lives of ordinary people, everything is inseparable from money, their whole life is fighting for money, it is not wrong to say that their lives are all controlled by money.

Although Wayne felt that her words were quite godlike, Francesca listened to them with relish, as if another door had been opened, and all kinds of thoughts kept flashing through her mind.

As one of the most powerful sorceresses in the world, she is a brilliant figure in her own right.

In the past, her thinking was always stuck on how to strengthen the power of the elves, how to preserve her people, and how to increase the influence of the elves in the world, but she never considered using money.

Wayne's words were like piercing a piece of paper, which made her have a lot of ideas in her heart at once, and she even wanted to actually operate it now.

Looking at Francesca's somewhat untouched expression, Wayne knew that her words had resonated with the clever sorceress and left a very deep impression on her heart.

So, he coughed again and continued:

"Lady Francesca, as the current manager of the elves, you have a large number of elven talents under your command who have various skills, but they cannot use them."

"Although they can't go to the surface and are easy to be targeted by humans, the products they make, their craftsmanship is definitely top-notch."

"I want to build the most powerful chamber of commerce in the world, and what I need is people who can be trusted, people who are capable, and enough financial resources."

"Now, I can tell you that the wealth I have is incomparable to all the kings of the north combined."

"And you have talents under you who are loyal to the elven race, if the two of us cooperate, this big plan of mine may be able to take shape quickly."

"I believe that as long as we are willing to work towards this, the life of the elves will get better and better."
