The First Thousand and Seventy-Seven Chapters Thank You, the Polymath, for Your Selfless Dedication

The arrival of the masters has brought earth-shaking changes to the territory. After the talents are in place, the infrastructure quickly catches up. Blacksmiths, mills, jewelry stores... a series of sub-professional buildings have been quickly upgraded to level 5.

This is a critical level and it means a lot.

The blacksmith shop has been upgraded to a foundry, and can finally make standard gold equipment.

The mill has been upgraded to a pastry shop. In addition to the rye series of foods, it can also produce high-end foods such as "refined snacks", "cookies" and "delicious cakes".

In addition, the master brewer from the imperial capital also opened a new winery, which can brew ale to restore physical strength. It's a pity that the brewery has just opened, even if there is a master brewer here, there is only a sub-professional building level of level 3, except for a few types of alcohol such as ale and dark beer, there is nothing else.

For this reason, the brew master also pursued the city lord's mansion and asked for the urgent construction of the necessary buildings for the winery. He has a lot of carefully prepared ancestral secret recipes with various special effects, but the winery must be upgraded to level 5 and become a winery to brew.

The upgrade of sub-professional buildings also enhances the military strength of the territory.

The emergence of technical equipment such as compound bows, standard light steel armor, etc., also enabled Cecilia to finally train her best unit in the barracks - hussars!

The hussars are flexible and suitable for both near and far. They can not only suppress fire with long-range weapons such as flintlocks and compound bows, but also charge forward and disrupt the enemy's formation when necessary. They have the harassing ability of light cavalry and the attacking ability of heavy cavalry. They are considered to be the top troops in the Kane plane.

The downside is that it's too expensive. Not to mention that Baishiling's current finances can only be barely maintained by blood transfusions from the center of the empire.

This is also because the Northland is too desolate, no one develops large areas of minerals, and no one cultivates large areas of high-quality fields. Cecilia is equivalent to supporting the army of the entire province with the financial resources of two cities, and it is normal to be in financial constraints.

However, Bai Xiaowen's opinion is that the hussars must be trained, and as many as there are! For this reason, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the long-term development of the territory.

If this decision was made by other people, it would probably be labeled as a militarism, but from Bai Xiaowen's mouth, Cecilia did not hesitate.

Borrowing, credit, selling minerals... There are even emerging merchant forces from the central province who want to buy a few noble titles in the Northland, and Cecilia agrees with her nose.

Territory fiscal deficits frequently,

It is even more debt-ridden, but this does not affect Bai Xiaowen's transfer from the warehouse to the virtual store on the earth to make a lot of money. To be precise, the emergence of a batch of fifth-level sub-professional buildings has once again ushered in a wave of blowout sales growth for Dao Da Zai Ren Duo, and Bai Xiaowen has made more profits.

Let me talk about the reasons first. The sub-professional buildings in the territory are divided into two types of products, one is the product that "cannot be brought out of the plane of Kane", which mainly supplies military and civilian needs of the territory; the other is the product that "can be brought out of the plane of Kane" , mainly supply the sales of knives and slaughter shops.

These two products are two independent systems, running side by side. There is no situation where A increases and B decreases, and the two are not related to each other.

Take, for example, the blacksmith shop, which is now the foundry. As long as there is a level 5 foundry, it means that there is a production capacity of 3000 points "can be brought out of the Kane plane", which means the daily output of 3 standard gold equipment (or 60 blue equipment).

These 3,000 points of production capacity cannot be transferred to the development of the territory. If 60 pieces of standard blue equipment are produced, even if Bai Xiaowen wants to give them to them, they will not be able to be used by the territorial army.

Let's talk about the blowout sales of virtual stores, which is also normal.

Originally, there were only low-end products in the shop with a large number of people, and at most occasionally added a few high-end goods bought by Bai Xiaowen and others. In terms of profitability, it mainly depends on the stable and cheap supply of low-end products, and there is no way to stabilize the supply of high-end products.

Now, mid-range (such as blue equipment) and high-end goods (such as gold equipment) can all be produced from the territory!

This is terrifying. The store can completely transform, relying on extremely low cost and stable supply, to seize the mid-to-high-end market. Everyone knows that the high-end market has the largest profit margins.

Moreover, upgrading to a level 5 sub-professional building has skyrocketed a wave of production capacity (from 1000 points to 3000 points), which can also ensure sufficient supply.

In addition to the newly added brewing workshops, the inscription masters from the imperial capital finally filled the gap in the lack of magicians and inscription masters in the territory. As the most common type of prop, the magic scroll will become another flagship product of the territory.

...

In the north of Baishi City, the temporary military camp of the drow elves.

Cecilia and Mistress Cynthia sat opposite each other.

Mistress Cynthia's skin was dead pale, and there were patches of corpse spots on the originally fair skin. The condition of the two priestesses of the Knossolis tribe behind her was even worse, scarlet had already appeared in their pupils.

This is a sign of undeath.

"Spider venom has gradually been unable to suppress the undead plague. It has been a month, and the special medicine you promised... Where is it?"

Mistress Cynthia stood up abruptly, and tore off her clothes in front of Cecilia and the two knights.

"Look at these ugly scars, even my body is starting to emit the stench of undead. If you continue to shirk, my tribe's elite will become plague undead! Become the minions of the Lord of Plague, and devour you in turn .”

"Of course, before I become a plague undead, I will make you pay the due price, I promise."

Facing Mistress Cynthia's threat, Cecilia smiled calmly: "Mistress, you have misunderstood. This time, I came here in person to provide you with the special medicine to kill the plague. We are well aware of your strategic value. Especially when fighting against the Lord of Plague, the support of the Knossolis tribe is indispensable. If you become minions of the Lord of Plague, it will be over."

Cecilia nodded slightly, and the knight captain Marco behind him stepped forward, took out a cuboid wooden box, and slowly opened it.

A row of medicines, slightly rippling with blue waves, is dazzling.

Cecilia sighed: "The improved virus of the Plague Lord is more stubborn than imagined. Our master polymath forgets to eat and sleep. He is so tired that he is blue all over, and his hair and teeth are almost falling out. Only yesterday did he produce a special antidote." .After verification, I immediately delivered it in person, which is enough to prove the importance I attach to you."

Mistress Cynthia pulled up her clothes, as if a spring breeze was blowing on her face, she changed her face and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Excellency the Erudite, for your selfless dedication."
