Wolf King

Transcript of Chapter 318 "J"

Elven Port receives more than 5 passengers every year, and the wealth brought by adventurers and merchants, as well as the annual revenue created for Elven Port and Anas City, are estimated to be tens of thousands of gold coins.

There is no reason not to love the golden gold coin forest elves, so the originally simple elf port with only one street has been expanded over the years, and a total of four main streets, thousands of buildings, and various industries have been developed to meet the needs of adventurers and merchants. Also spawned one after another.

The forest elves are making a lot of money, and of course Huoyan City won't just watch...

When Yale Dazhang and several tiger clan veterans came to the "Prairie Street" under the guidance of the small cat clan Baixiang, the tigers who were led by the knights ten days ago were shocked: the heads of the tigers were neatly arranged The shops, the endless flow of people, and the shouts one after another, the bustling and bustling level is not worse than that of the knights!

What surprised these tiger heads even more than the first area led by the knights was that none of the shop operators here were human...

Standing in front of the glass cabinet of the "Crown Horn Bakery" is a cub of the Snow Wolf clan, shouting "The top chef of the Snow Wolf Clan, Horn Special Wheat Bread", while stuffing the sample bread in the dustpan to stop of pedestrians.

The "Iron Armor Store in Qiuling New Area" is run by a few short and sturdy gray dwarves, and the adventurers who are following the store are spitting and bragging about how their gray dwarves' technology is better than the black iron dwarves.

Next to the "Weapon Shop in the Hilly New District", the gray dwarf clerks are selling their new alloy hammers just like the black iron dwarves who are shopping for weapons.

There are also "Ministry of Welfare Specialty Dim Sum Shop", "Spicy Spicy Rabbit Meat Shop", "Qiuqiu Wool Spinning Factory Direct Clothing Shop", "Qujiao Beef Products", "Portable Tool Shop"...etc.

It’s amazing enough that there are so many shops densely covered in a small street less than [-] meters long. It was found that there are still many forest elves who go in and out of the shops (mainly for food), which directly makes Yale not return for a long time. Come on.

The forest elves in Yale's memory are not easier to get along with than the dark elves. In the royal court era, the most ugly word used by those arrogant green-skinned pointy ears to describe the prairie people was "dirty beast"... This is Yale's own heard.

Such a forest elf could tolerate the prairie people doing business on their territory—Yale was not unaware that the forest elves had close ties with today's "Prairie Flame Country", but seeing it with his own eyes, he still felt incredible.

In particular, there is a long queue of forest elves in front of the "Ministry of Welfare Specialty Snack Shop" run by goblins, and they are not at all picky about the food handed out by the dirty goblins... (These goblins are old, weak, sick, Selling packaged ready-made snacks is such a trouble-free job, Xiao Yun certainly won't waste manpower)

It's not as crowded as the narrow passenger passageway on the pier. The small cat Baixiang can come and go freely by herself. This dexterous young man, who is about the same height as a gray dwarf and weighs only half his weight, is jumping and leading the way, and will soon see The dazzled and straight-eyed tiger heads took them to the Ashu Food Store at the end of "Prairie Street", near the beach.

Due to the lack of manpower, Ah Shu's food store has not been expanded, and it is still the same as it was a few years ago. Only the long tables and stools in front of the door have been changed a few batches...There are always adventurers who can't help but perform martial arts. Or the most recent table and stool are hard to last until the end of their useful life.

The rush hour for dining has just passed, and Ah Shu, who is sweating profusely, took off his chef's hat and sat on a bench by the beach to rest. Kind of small snacks stuffed to each other.

"The guest of the grassroots patriarch is here." Baixiang took the snacks and put them in his pocket very naturally, and turned half sideways to introduce to A Shu, "This is the Yale tent of the tiger clan."

Ah Shu nodded politely to Yale's big tent, then turned to Baixiang and said, "Our cargo ship will return at [-]:[-] p.m., should we take a rest in the shop first or take the guests around?"

Baixiang was awakened by these words. Although the tiger heads from the Southern Continent were not well-dressed, they were still not poor. Great income!

"Of course I wandered around, it's rare to come here! Isn't it the Yale tent?" Baixiang turned her head, her deep black pupils shining brightly.

Yale couldn't bear to look at Ah Shu, nodded and said: "...OK."

He could see that the snow werewolf named Ashu didn't want them to enter this "Ashu Food Store".

This made Yale feel a little nervous. He couldn't help guessing what kind of attitude the snow wolves, the main race of the Prairie Kingdom, had towards the tigers. If the snow wolves were not as tolerant and enlightened as they always preached, then ...What kind of life do those clansmen who stayed behind in the royal court live now? !

Although he was worried, Yale also knew that he could not speak casually before meeting the high-level officials of the Kingdom of Fire, let alone show his attitude easily... When calling the clansmen to follow the small cat Baixiang, Yale even had to forcibly respond to this street. Curiosity, deliberately looking around.

Ah Shu waved the tiger heads away, and shook his head slightly after they were overwhelmed by the crowd.

Turning around and walking into the store, Ah Shu found that the three Cat Clan clerks were all standing behind the window on the side of the desk, looking at the direction in which the Tiger Clan was leaving.

Hmm... Although the labor force of Huoyan City has broken through the [-] mark and is on the way to [-], the style of Huoyan City is that the more manpower, the less enough... So the three cat clans assigned to Ashu's helpers also They are also old, weak, sick, and disabled—they are all those who were rescued from the slaves of the royal court.

That is to say, they all have a deep historical hatred with the Tiger Clan... It's no wonder that Ah Shu dares to entertain the Tiger Clan to rest in the shop!With the narrow eyes of the cat family, I don't know what ingredients will be added to the tea noodles!

After thinking for a while, Ah Shu made a smiling face and said to the cat shop assistants: "A Yun once said that seeing the downfall of former enemies is more satisfying than eating the most delicious food. Does the current Tiger Clan feel like this?"

The three cat clerks looked at each other when they heard the words, and couldn't help laughing.

Snow Leopard, who was missing three fingers on his left hand, smiled especially happily. He came to the Fire Department with the centaur, and was once tortured in the eastern stronghold of the Tiger Clan. What about the family, once it declines, even the shelter has to rely on the mercy of others."

"Isn't it?" the golden cat with one arm missing said fiercely, "They used to claim to be the only royal family in the grassland, and they regarded other tribes as dust. Now, it's their turn to feel what it is to be 'dust' It tastes good."

Ah Shu smiled and listened to the three cat clerks venting their anger, and when everyone had vented, he greeted: "Okay, let's not talk about those unlovable guys, let's wash out the dishes in the morning and wash them away." The ingredients to be used in the afternoon are processed."

The three cat clerks returned to the back kitchen to wash the dishes and vegetables, and Ah Shu was not idle. He brought a bucket of water and came back to clean the shop... Adventurers don't pay much attention to table manners when they eat, and they don't often mop the floor. Tables, floors and tables get greasy and dirty.

"Ashu! Is there any more noodles?"

The elf warriors who cleared the prairie fleet had just had their lunch break, and rushed over to look for food one by one.

"Yes, what kind of noodles do you want?" Ah Shu put down the mop, wiped his hands on the apron, and warmly greeted the guests who missed the meal to take their seats, acting very ordinary and normal in terms of demeanor and demeanor , can't see or feel the outrageous resentment and anger he once had towards the forest elves.

After Ayun returned from participating in the Frankish feast as a sage of the Snow Wolf Clan for the first time, he told A Shu the ins and outs of Elder Gwendoline's attack on the Snow Wolf Clan.

Knowing that his soldier's life was actually ruined by such a frivolous thing, at that time, Ah Shu only felt a dull pain in the old wound on his abdomen that had been healed.

At that time, Ayun did not say some beautiful words to appease Ashu, but told him bluntly: "...I tried to bring down Gwendoline not just to avenge you, Ashu, but to let us get more Willing to be close to our wood elves allies."

"We are very weak now, we can't have too many enemies, we must have many allies. So we can't hate a whole family of forest elves because of the hatred with a certain person, we can only calm ourselves down and learn from them We find people who are close to us, people who need us, and people who can become a community of interests with us."

"Even if we become stronger in the future, we must remember to carefully distinguish between enemies and friends, instead of blindly hating a certain group and blindly being warlike."

"Weak people without force are inherently guilty. Those who believe that force can solve all problems and blindly worship force will also pay the price...We cannot be as stupid as the Tiger Clan."

The resentment in Ah Shu's heart at that time disappeared when he heard the last sentence. Although the Tiger Clan at that time had not declined, it had already become a knife in the hands of others that was completely involuntary.

Ah Shu, who hated the Gwendolyn whom he had never met before, and uncontrollably vented his anger on other forest elves, stared at the ceiling in a daze all night, wiped his face and found Ah Yun, and asked to continue to serve as the port food store. the shopkeeper.

This is not to let go of hatred, but for the people of the tribe, for the other races living with the Snow Wolf Clan, they must learn to face everything they are willing or unwilling to face.

"Ashu, do you still have mixed sauce noodles? I'm starving to death!"

Hai Lin, who helped unload the fish bones, ran over sweating profusely, and yelled loudly when she saw A Shu who was busy behind the desk.

"Yes, I'll make this pot for you after it's cooked. Or should there be more sauce and not be spicy?" A Shu raised his head.

"More oil residue!" Hai Lin yelled again, and then complained to the comrades who came first, "Why didn't you call me when you left?"

The elf warriors who arrived first booed: "Who knows if you will go to the monosodium glutamate factory to eat and drink!"

"Did you greet us when you drove someone else's machine to the street to be chic?"

"I think it's really nice that the leopard hasn't bitten you all this time!"

"What are you talking about, Yubone and I are friends, okay!" Hai Lin said loudly.

As a result, there were more voices mocking him...

Behind the counter, Boss Ashu shook his head with a smile, and took out the oil residue can from the cabinet sideways.

The forest elves are not all annoying guys. Ashu also realized this after forcing himself to think about the tribe and everyone.

So he didn't try to persuade those Cat Clan clerks who still hated the Tiger Clan very much to let go of their hatred - Huoyan City has taken in the left-behind members of the Tiger Clan royal court so far, and the Cat Clan who has direct opposition and hatred with the Tiger Clan only targeted them in a small way, and did not Who made the conflict escalate to the point where the Tiger Clan must be driven away and become the enemy of Huoyan City? From this point of view, Ah Shu is very relieved about the ideological education of the managers...

Well, of course... Covert targeting is actually not very pleasant, that's right...

Although Bai Xiang, who was a slave in the royal court, was taken care of by Yale, when she was a tour guide and promoter, she still did not hesitate to bring the tiger heads into the most expensive and impractical handicraft shops, and tried every means to make them A few tiger heads paid for a lot of flashy things...

Just when the big tent of the Tiger Clan was being sliced ​​by soft knives, in Huoyan City, Xiao Yun was busy receiving the guests who arrived earlier than the Tiger Clan.

In the reception room of the Secretary Department (actually, it was remodeled from the vacant dormitory after the original resident Gaixin moved out), the one sitting cross-legged on the soft cushion in front of Xiao Yun was the beaming Arman.

From not being able to pay for the boat ticket, working as a small laborer on the construction site of the knights to earn food, to relying on the big stick of the economy to bribe Mr. Cronin, and spending money to create an earl and earldom, such an earth-shaking change... Yarman only spent less than six years, a little more than five years.

Well, the members of "J" recommended Yarman to be the earl lord on the surface. Of course, the biggest reason is not that this guy has a good temperament and good looks, but because his appearance has no distinctive features... The distinctive Feng Aldoni and the old handsome Adrian are easily recognized as wanted criminals from various countries when they go out.

The one sitting next to Arman is naturally his disciple Adam... This young man helped Huoyan City go to the underground world as a spy for several years, and was "liberated" in advance. Erman left and ran to freedom, smiling unbelievably sunny.

Aisha, who was sitting alone on the other side, was suffering. His teacher, Aldoni, was still running around on the construction site of the Grand Canal, and he himself was still studying... plus raising children for the prairie people, he was far away from freedom. .

Beside Xiao Yun, Mr. Xiao En, who has obvious characteristics of undead creatures, listened to Alman and Adrian's "work progress report", nodded with a smile on his face, and praised again and again: "Not bad, very good, very good...you guys actually You have recruited all the people from Dustwallow Marsh? This is really great, there are countless poor places in Cronin, and they are used to life in your territory, so they will never betray you!"

The handsome old man Adrian stroked his neatly trimmed beard embarrassingly: "We used to ignore the people at the bottom too much, and didn't think that the people at the bottom had the power to promote social change. This is the wrong way for us. Fortunately, we can get Mr. Ayun and Mr. Xiao En, your guidance, otherwise we don't know how long we will be wrong."

Mr. Sean and Adrian's teacher are of the same generation, so Adrian must use honorifics when talking to Mr. Sean...even though he looks much older than Sean.

Xiao Yun is also quite satisfied with the spellcasters of "J". To be honest, if he only pays half as much attention to the education of Laura and Isaac, the two disciples who entered the door later, as he does to the clansmen, then he will be more concerned about "J" these spellcasters. A person's level of care is at most only [-]% of that of his clansmen...

People who can become spellcasters through traditional channels (rather than taking shortcuts like the current cat clan magicians), regardless of their ability to accept, understand, or brain power, must be outstanding characters~!

"An earldom with a new population of 10 within two years must be extremely conspicuous in other places. In a country with a large population like Cronin, you don't have to worry about it." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "You help the nearby lords to accept it." A large number of landless peasants, these neighbors might thank you."

Arman, Adrian, and Mr. Sean laughed heartily at the same time.

Sitting next to him with a blank expression, Moon of Revenge, always like an outsider, silently heard the present, and abruptly interjected: "There are so many landless peasants in Cronin, could it be related to agricultural machinery?"

This guy is worthy of being the king of the cold who can chat to death. As soon as he opened his mouth, the atmosphere of the audience immediately cooled down...

Arman's mouth twitched slightly, Adrian looked stiff, and Mr. Sean was speechless.

At any rate, we have been together day and night for several years, Xiao Yun couldn't understand Hodgson's emotional expression at first, but now he has a little grasp of his context, knowing that this always stern-faced guy is not angry, but simply raised his concern just a problem...

Sighing, Xiao Yun shook his head and said: "The agricultural machinery smelting and forging techniques and blueprints we published in "Travel to the Mainland" are tailor-made for the Beastmen. As you all know, if I don't find a way to give the Beast Emperor all these years If I make trouble, then the Beast Emperor will come and cause me big trouble."

"We were able to create agricultural machinery that female workers of the human race could independently control, but we didn't think about publishing it in "Mainland Travel Notes". It's not because we cherish our brooms, but because we consider that if we do this, it won't really benefit the agricultural industry of the human race. who." Xiao Yun sighed again, "After listening to our lectures, everyone knows what productivity is, and the law of contradictory motion between productivity and production relations."

"Correct production relations will promote the development of productive forces and continuously expand their scale of existence. Wrong production relations will hinder the development of productive forces, while continuously reducing their scale of existence until they disappear completely." After a pause, Xiao Yun's expression became pale. Somewhat cold, "The social structure of the human race is the same as that of the orc empire, and there is an error in the distribution of the ownership of the means of production. People who have the conditions to make their own agricultural machinery and monopolize the means of production, when the selection of productivity tends to belong to such a monopoly of the means of production... then this If it is not a productive force, it will be harmful to society.”

"The concretization of this theory in reality is the current national conditions of Cronin. There are enough cattle, horses or manpower to drive self-produced agricultural machinery (including buying tractors produced in the grassland, cough cough), and can use the same serfs and farm laborers to cultivate. The nobles whose land is several times larger than before will inevitably plunder the land of ordinary free people! Because there are time costs and labor costs for reclaiming wasteland, even if we grassland people have added pesticides and fertilizers, it is still difficult to raise the newly reclaimed land to mature land. It will take one to two years, why should those nobles who have given them monopoly qualifications spend such unnecessary extra costs?"

Hodgson stared at Xiao Yun, and after a moment of silence, there was some disbelief in his cool tone: "Just by promoting agricultural machinery, can the status of the Cronin royal family be shaken?"

Moon of Vengeance has not attended the courses that the members of "J" have taken. He just managed to sort out this logic in a short time based on his own understanding of the development situation of Huoyan City and the observation of "J"'s work results. ... It is not in vain that this guy can stand out from the crowd of talented spellcasters.

Yarman and Adrian, who didn't know what Hodgson's attitude was, felt their scalps go numb for a moment, and couldn't help but observe his expression...of course they couldn't see anything.

Xiao Yun was not intimidated by Hodgson's coffin face, and actually nodded with a smile: "In theory, yes. But it depends on whether the competitors of the Cronin royal family are strong enough."

Vengeance Moon is silent again...

During the few seconds of this guy's silence, Arman and Adrien's brothers were like the sky...

Hodgson carefully compared "J"'s rule over the earldom and the rule of the Cronin royal family, which one is more in line with his aesthetics, turned his head to look at Arman, and nodded his chin slightly: "I believe you, Ya Elman."

Arman, who also had a little friendship with Hodgson, smiled awkwardly and nodded politely... So you guys support our "J"? ?Why didn't we know this before? !

Xiao Yun was not surprised by Moon of Revenge's attitude at all. In fact, this guy is no different from Mr. Xiao En in essence. They are all pursued spellcasters who go beyond vulgar tastes. It's just that Mr. Xiao En is keen to end, while Hodgson is more cold. , will only silently do what he can do-this guy has studied how to improve orc agricultural machinery to adult agricultural machinery before he came to the grassland.

At this time, the young Aisha suddenly thought of something, and said with a strange face: "If you want to say this... Ayun, it seems that the promotion of agricultural machinery in the Far East is not only causing trouble for the beast emperor? Unbalanced ownership of means of production will If something goes wrong, one day the target of the Beast Emperor will fall, and the Far Eastern orcs will confront their patriarchs, elder generals, etc., and they will confront each other again?"

All eyes in the room instantly focused on this young man who was too young.

Mr. Sean showed pity on his face, and the old brothers Arman and Adrian looked at this friend Aldoni's beloved disciple and didn't know what to say.

Adam was also very young, not as stable as others, and gloated: "You are so smart, Aisha, you are the only one who can say such a thing (to do this kind of death)."

Aisha's pupils shrank, and he raised his hand to cover his mouth in horror.

Xiao Yun looked at him with a smile on his face, and his expression was very kind...

"I, I... just pretend that I didn't say anything just now, okay?" Aisha said humbly.
