Gold coin is justice - Chapter 1293
Seeing that Igor was asleep, Ariel immediately turned to her guild members and said, “obviously, the situation here is beyond my expectation. I want to change my plan. See if you have any good ideas?”
Mashu: “president, what was your original plan?”
Ariel nodded and said, “I thought the village should have a certain scale. Even if it is not fully developed, there should be a certain development plan. At least, the road to the official road should be opened up. If so, we have element cars, so we can buy a large number of magic crystals by car transportation, and then transport them back to our Pelican city. ”
“But now, the village is completely in an undeveloped state. Obviously, no one will come to develop it next. The current situation of the village is also precarious, and it will collapse completely in a short time. If we want to develop the magic crystal needed by Pelican city in this case, we need more than a simple transportation tool like element car. ”
Ariel moved her finger, began to calculate, and said——
“There are few young people here. To open the magic crystal mine, we need to recruit a large number of young people who can work for the village. There is no way to solve the problem of accommodation for these young people in this village. Therefore, the best way is to attract those young people who go out to work back. In this way, I will solve the population problem of this village. ”
“Then, the village has no access. If I want to open up a road for magic crystal transportation, I will help the village open up a road down the mountain. So, I want to solve the travel problem of this village. ”
“Now it seems that the village has no ability and plan to develop the mine. Although it has not really seen the mine, from their performance, it should basically belong to the practice of picking up some inferior magic crystals on the ground. In other words, if I need these magic crystals, I have to help the village solve a series of mining tool problems. ”
“Considering the above problems, if I really want to get the mine here, I have to solve a lot of problems such as population, travel and mining equipment at one go. If so, the money I have to spend is not a small amount. ”
Cream nodded, frowned and said, “who can think they really didn’t do anything? If you really want to do this, the initial investment will cost a lot, and there is basically no return? The real return will have to wait until very late. How long will it take? a year? Two years? ”
Ariel breathed out and said, “it will take at least two years… This whole set of infrastructure can’t be done in words. But this is not my biggest concern. My biggest concern is another point. ”
The president raised his head, glanced at his group members, and finally said what was on his mind——
“What I’m worried about is that if I invested all the funds in the early stage and built all the infrastructure for them, and when I want to get the magic crystal, others see that the village already has enough infrastructure, so what should I do if I want to intervene at that time?”
“Since I invested money in the early stage, I will definitely ask for the magic crystal at the most favorable price. But if other people are willing to buy these magic crystals at a slightly more expensive price, even if the village head dog st is willing to keep his promise, will other villagers be willing to keep his promise as he does? In other words, if the village defaults in the later stage, what can I do to make them abide by my agreement? ”
Dak frowned and said, “aren’t we going to sign a contract with them? Dare they break the contract? ”
Ariel smiled bitterly and said, “if you break the contract in Hanhai City, the guard will deal with it. Breach of contract in Pelican City, backed by our mermaid song. But in the magic mine village, the power of our mermaid song has not been able to radiate here. If they want to violate the contract, they will violate it. I can hardly think of any way to ensure that they can always keep their promise in good faith. ”
Gel breathed out and said, “no wonder, Mr. Mayor, you want everyone in this village to sign a magic contract that can’t violate you…”
Dak thought with his lips closed and said, “I’ve seen some magicians. They can use their element affinity to write some vows, and then use these vows to make others abide by their agreement, otherwise they will be attacked by the element.”
“It’s like lightning element affinity. I once saw a man swear to a magician, but then he broke his oath. At the moment he broke his oath, he was directly hit into a ball of coke by a lightning falling from the sky. This may be the kind of contract you need. ”
Since there is such magic? This surprised Ariel and asked, “really? Is there such magic? ”
With that, she glanced at the gel beside her involuntarily from the corner of her eyes, and the gel realized that she was being watched, and the whole person looked energetic.
However, this spirit is only temporary after all. Because the next moment, dak shook his head and said, “although there is this kind of magic, that kind of magic should be a very high-level element magic. At our current level… There is no way to casually let someone swear, and then the person who breaks the oath will be hit by heaven and lightning. ”
In fact, this has been said very thoroughly, which is to make it clear that the level of magic is too high to be mastered with the current gel.
Ariel sighed, slightly helpless, but the overall situation was not beyond her expectation. The president put his hands on his legs and said slowly, “well, let’s think about it. What can we do to ensure that our interests will not be infringed? In other words, is there any way to ensure that when the infrastructure is completed and we are ready to harvest the fruits, they will not go back? ”
After a little thought, Mashu looked around at the people on both sides and said, “according to what I said, I’ll bite whoever dares to break the oath. Is that the simplest?”
Cream couldn’t help laughing, looked at the blood girl and said with a smile: “indeed, using force is indeed the safest way. But the problem is that our mermaid song, or the force of Pelican City, can not continue to such a remote place at present. And on the other hand, if we can oppress them by force, won’t they resist by force? ”
Mashu frowned and said seriously, “are you human beings really so shameless? We helped them. Instead of thanking them, they wanted to betray their faith? ”
The cream was also stiff faced and pretended to be very embarrassed: “I’m really sorry. You can see through the bad habits of human beings. It would be better if you could look at human bad habits as well as human good habits. ”
Dak breathed out and said helplessly, “when the infrastructure is completed, the village can earn more money by selling magic crystal mines. Since there are ways to make more money, they will certainly have the motivation to disobey us. This is also an indisputable fact. ”
Ariel nodded gently and said, “if we use force, we need to leave at least one team here, and at least no less than five people. It’s the same reason that the Holy See and the Association sent those people to Pelican city and used them to monitor us. To some extent, such surveillance is useless. This year, we have also seen that the people of the association and the holy see are infiltrated by me like a sieve. ”
“On the other hand, these two groups of people have been completely unproductive in the past year, and all their sources of income are funded by the Holy See and the magic association. In other words, I’m afraid they won’t be happy to let them go back now. It’s easy to work outside, have money and be an uncle in Pelican city. Who wants to go back to the inferior Hanhai city? ”
“So, if we do the same, the cost of mermaid song is definitely not a small figure.”
Mashu rubbed her head. It was night now, but she seemed to roll up when she thought about these problems.
After thinking for a moment, she raised her head and said in a very serious tone that wanted to have a good discussion: “if force can’t be used, can we buy those magic crystals at the same price?”
Cream pinched his chin, nodded and said, “generally speaking… There’s no problem. After all, we helped them build the village and let all the villagers come back. Anyway, we are kind to the village. So if the price is similar, I believe they will still be willing to sell the minerals to us as much as possible. ”
This method may indeed be a good method, but for Ariel, it is as bad as it can be.
She sighed and said slowly, “in this way, it can really ensure that they can sell magic crystals to us as much as possible. However, maintaining such a relationship is somewhat too expensive. ”
“It’s not a day or two to get from Pelican city to magic mine village, but we’ve been walking for almost half a month. All along the way is the consumption of time and cost. If we compete with others at the same price, our cost will certainly remain high. And… ”
Ariel bit her lower lip gently. After thinking for a moment, she decided to say the words in her heart——
“Moreover, I think there may be some changes in the blue bay empire in the future. These changes will lead to more element machines in the world. Under such circumstances, our cost will soon be raised. Purchasing at the same price is equivalent to raising the export price of our goods in a disguised form. In this way, it is impossible to compete with products such as element looms in the hands of other businessmen. ”
Dak has given up now. He looked up at the ceiling, breathed out hard, and said, “magic is no good, force is no good, equal trade is no good… This is no good, that is no good. Simply, if they dare to go back, let’s come and destroy all the infrastructure in one breath. When all our previous work was done in vain. ”
Cream now frowned, sighed and said, “president, although I think dak is talking angrily, now it seems that this is the only way. We agreed with them in advance that if they dare to breach the contract, we will destroy all infrastructure! ”
For this method, Ariel thought a little and asked very seriously, “if all the damage is done, is it achieved? In this matter, only our mermaid song was injured? After all, for their village, they had no access to the outside world. We built these channels, and then we destroyed them ourselves. We spent time, energy and money, but got nothing. Instead, we added an enemy of the magic mine village for no reason. So, really? ”
Although members know that their president is desperately trying to find a way.
But as Tong dak said, no matter what suggestions they put forward, Ariel will see the loopholes in this proposal, which will not work. In the end, no method can be used.
After putting forward several suggestions in succession, the members of the guild looked a little tired. Even Ma Shu, now sitting beside Ariel with her cheeks in her palms, looked here and there, was not interested in everything, and even wanted to sleep.
Before long, they finally had nothing to say and expressed silence.
In this regard, Ariel also knew that it was difficult for her to get the answer in one night. She could only sigh and let everyone rest in peace. She also lay down with her clothes and didn’t speak.
the second day.
The early morning sun came in early from the broken hole in the corner of the thatched house.
After Mashu yawned and squatted beside Ariel, shook Ariel with both hands and woke her up, the blood girl yawned and shrank into the corner to sleep.
The other people woke up slowly. When Ariel opened her eyes and stretched, she saw Igor, the elf on the other half of the house, who seemed to have awakened long ago, holding lute in her hand and adjusting it carefully.
Perhaps it was because the members of the mermaid song woke up. His fingers moved gently, and pieces of music like birds singing in the morning were played from the lute, adding some vitality to the humble thatched house.
“President Ariel! Are you awake? ”
After a while, dog’s voice sounded outside the hut.
Cream got up, put on his clothes, went to the door and opened it. I saw the dog outside. The village head has stared here with a smile on his face.
“Good morning, village head Goust.”
Ariel is up now. It was still a little cold in October morning. She put on her cloak again, put on her hat and nodded to dog St.
The village head seemed to look at Ariel differently from last night. He smiled at Ariel and hurriedly said, “President Ariel, President Ariel! Are you awake? Have you groomed? If not, please come this way and I’ll take you to the grooming place. Then, please come and have breakfast! Although there is no comparison between today’s breakfast and last night’s pork banquet, we have prepared a menu for today’s dinner, which will definitely give you a big feast! ”
The change of mood is really unique.
Ariel couldn’t help recalling the surprised expression on dogster’s face last night when she said she wanted these people to sign a contract that would not violate her.
After only one night, he suddenly had such a change?
Despite her doubts, Ariel smiled and nodded. Then, all the people in the thatched house, even with Igor, went to a small waterfall on the back hillside to freshen up. Then, Goust led the people to the slightly flat hillside of the village. He saw that a large round table had been set up in front of the entrance and exit of the village. Although the raw materials were not very exquisite, it was obvious that there had been a carefully arranged breakfast.
Dog st led the crowd to the seat, and Ariel was arranged to be the chief. When all the people were seated, dog st immediately raised a cup with clear spring water in his hand and said with a smile: “President Ariel, please, please! There is nothing good in a small village in the mountains. Please forgive me! ”
After saying that, dog Steyr tilted his neck and drank the water.
Ariel’s eyes shifted slightly and saw those hiding in the house, but she leaned out her head to look at the villagers here from time to time. After a little thinking, she put down the cup she wanted to raise in her hand and said, “village head dog, what can I do for you? Don’t hide it. ”
Dogster smiled, put down the water cup in his hand and said, “President Ariel, when you said that proposal yesterday, I was really shocked to tell the truth! Later, after dinner, I kept thinking, “what exactly do you mean?”
“My brain is not very smart, so I may think slowly. After thinking for a long time, I suddenly thought of a very possible point! ”
“I don’t know if I’m right? I’ll talk about it for the time being, and you’ll listen to it for the time being. You want us to sign a contract that will not betray you. In other words, you want to give us benefits. During the period when you give us benefits, you should know that we have nothing to repay you. “
