Chapter 538 The Sea
With an OK gesture, Field said no problem.
"Move the goods to the newly built warehouse and store the gold bars in my basement. As for luxury goods, jewelry, etc., let's divide them among everyone. It seems that you don't even have any jewelry."
Field doesn't want to do anything vain. He and his chosen one must have adequate living rations.
"It's so generous, thank you, dear sir." Sister Ofili's face was pretending to be a cute smile, which was very interesting.
"Oh, I didn't say it was free."
Field changed the topic, stepped forward with a smirk, and pinched Bunny hard in Ophelia's confused eyes. Without giving her a chance to react, Field immediately withdrew three meters away.
"That's fairer."
"you..."
Ophelia felt something strange inexplicably. Her body, which was usually cold, felt inexplicably hot. She immediately said coquettishly: "How can I comfort someone? It's asymmetrical, so strange."
"Oh? There is such a good thing!"
Overjoyed, Field's eyes shone, and he wanted to get closer.
Ophelia kicked Field away and cursed with a smile: "Climb away, Lord Miscellaneous Fish. Give you some color and you will go to heaven."
Fishing law enforcement, right...
"By the way, don't move those addictive items. Don't move them at all."
Field thought for a moment, "Looking for an opportunity to sell it, maybe selling it to Simon is a good idea. I can't let these things pollute my people, but it would be a pity to destroy them in vain."
"Forget about this, let's go see the moon stone."
When we came to the pond, the mermaids were taking care of it. It was obviously a pool of stagnant water, but with the presence of the mermaid and Feromine, it was now extremely clear and sparkling.
Several baskets of moon stones have been piled up on the shore, all of which were salvaged by mermaids.
"This is the moon stone."
Field leaned over, took out a piece from the basket, and looked at it carefully. These stones are irregular spherical in shape, but their texture is as warm and moist as jade, exuding unique energy fluctuations.
Mermaid God Chosen Aikalysia nodded and said: "Sir, every night, they will condense. I can feel that the energy they contain can charge magic and fighting spirit."
"Oh? Let me try."
After Field performed a fighting skill casually, he picked up the moon stone.
A stream of pure energy, like warm water, gushes out of the moon stone, making up for the consumed fighting energy in a short time.
"What a good thing." Field's eyes shone, "This thing is a military material just like the magic core, and it is much more effective than the magic core."
The magic core needs to make special props to replenish the magic.
But the moon stone can directly mend demons.
Ofili clapped his hands with his fist: "Yes, it can charge the fighting spirit knight, and it can also provide energy for magical creations."
"I never thought this idiot could actually produce good things."
With a curl of its tail, Filomena was lifted into the air. Ofili grabbed her and shook her, as if she wanted to shake out more rocks.
Filomena had no power to fight back and could only keep asking for help: "Master~Help~"
"Stop persecuting her. The moon stone doesn't grow on her body." Field quickly rescued her, touched her head to comfort her, and then played with the stone. "We won't sell military supplies. Keep it for yourself."
If you put it up for sale, you will definitely get a good price, but unfortunately the output is limited.
After harvesting three boxes of moon stones, Field just wanted to go for a walk.
The butler hurried over.
"Sir, our city hall met a citizen named Yuanluobo. He wanted to rent a small workshop."
Field immediately became interested: "He is the first businessman in the territory. It's interesting. What does he want to sell?"
This proves that the economic development of Nightfall Territory has gradually produced new classes. Of course, it's still very fragile.
This is an inevitable law of history. Don’t try to eliminate it, but make use of it.
Field had previously thought about establishing a bank in advance, but for 99% of the territory’s residents, even adding one plus one would take half a day. How do you expect them to become new representatives of productivity? Absolutely not.
If the citizens get a lot of money, they will not invest in factories or do things that are beneficial to other citizens. Instead, he immediately became a new slave owner or a black force, started to enclose land and collect wealth, and fought against the lord.
Therefore, development needs to be gradual and can be accelerated, but cannot jump.
"Pickled goods are salted offal, pickled dried radish and the like. He has only one worker, so the cost is pitifully low." Kao, the butler, explained, "These things can be consumed by the citizens and given to them. We bring in tax revenue.”
"Plus, he expects raw materials to be purchased from you."
"I agree. There will be some discounts on the workshop rent in the first few months. Private workshops are bound to appear. We just have to do a good job of controlling and taxing them."
Field took out the "Business Laws" and "Sanitary Codes" from under the box, which he had written in his spare time.
"Tell him that it is illegal to eat up the people in your territory. Don't think about cutting corners."
Field thrust the two books into Kaa's hands.
"Yes, sir."
Kao looked at Field with something very wrong, and he secretly took a breath: Your Excellency has already planned it, and even prepared a lot of provisions. This is too exaggerated.
Mounting his old horse, Kaa left the castle.
"It's not easy."
Field sighed with emotion and called the cats Frenita, Ofili and Ekalysia.
"Let's go and see the fishing village under construction. In addition, let's put the Abyss into the sea. If the people see it crawling around, they will probably be scared to death."
"Great!" Icarisia was very happy, "We can see the sea again."
We came to the fishing village under construction - Tidal Village.
The wooden wall has been erected, and there are three soldiers stationed on each of the two sentry towers.
"The Lord is here to see us."
Seeing Field's convoy, the people on the sentry tower almost cried. It was too scary to guard a village alone in the gray fog.
As soon as they approached Tidal Village, they heard cheers.
"The Lord is very popular." Icarisia couldn't help but smile.
"Of course, who would want to be forgotten?"
Field rode his horse, patted the carriage beside him, and laughed: "There is beer here. You are allowed to drink three glasses a day for the two days I am here."
"Long live Lord Field!"
The soldiers cheered.
Entering the semi-militarized village, it was built only a few days ago. Only basic huts and barracks were built. There were a hundred slaves working here, and ten skilled builders helped build houses and docks.
But what made Field feel most comfortable was the blue sea in the distance. The gray fog only reached the surface of the sea a little and then disappeared. It seemed that there was some magical power in the sea that blocked the spread of the gray fog.
"The sea is not polluted."
Feeling the gentle sea breeze, Field was happy: "There will be seafood to eat in the future."
