“How much? You say it again! I suspect I might have misheard just now.”
A few days later, Murphy looked at Miriam in front of him with a stunned face in his office, and the Scarlet Consul repeated with a helpless face:
“The village chief of Hidden Treasure Bay lived a whole quite well and signed an investment agreement with a few Yankee businessmen with a bit of local background, using the dislocated farmers of the Kavhoka region instead of money to invest, as of now, according to the agreement of the contract between the two parties, by the end of next month, the Yankees will need to transport a minimum of 18,000 farmers into Transylvania in exchange for 10% of the shares of Hidden Treasure Bay.
This portion of the shares would be given to a newly formed business company under the White Mountain faction to hold and manage.
It’s not just you, I didn’t expect your warriors to open a casino and get into human trafficking on the side, how much do they enjoy doing that? Professor Malcolm is already denouncing it as uncivilized, and we can well imagine the brutal methods those businessmen will use to achieve their goals as quickly as possible.
And as the commerce of Treasure Bay grows bigger and bigger in the future, I guess similar things won’t be rare.
Perhaps we should urge His Excellency the Crow to come up with a code of law as soon as possible, even if it’s of a transitional nature! This kind of chaotic situation of drilling through loopholes can’t happen again and again.”
“No, no, no, it’s not the tactics they’ll use that I care about, I’m just curious to know what the hell my warriors are doing about it.”
Murphy said in amazement:
“How did they convince the Yankee traders to profit by selling out their own countrymen? Did Count Andre’s friendship seem so important to them? Even to the point of being ruthless enough to do something that breaks the bottom line.
Aren’t they afraid of official Nodetov’s recriminations?
I don’t think that even if the officials of the Nordtov were more corrupt, they would allow their own nationals to be sent out of the country on such a large scale, would they?”
“It seems that you really don’t know anything about the political system of the Yankees, my lord, and you actually have the luxury of expecting their system, which has rotted to the depths of the mire, to respond in a timely manner to such a matter? Should I say you have faith in the Yankees?
Or should I say that your learning in this area is indeed your shortcoming?”
Miriam shook her head:
“Their officialdom is unlikely to stop it, and as long as the merchants raise the name of Vesta, the Earl of White Mountain’s squire, they won’t dare to have anything to say about it. The name of Her Majesty’s Wolf Lady’s only brother aside, a Clan of Thorns alone is not something an ordinary official can afford to mess with.
You can’t ignore the terrifying influence of the Thorn Clan on the political level of Nordtorf, and it’s not without reason that Lady Shani is known as the ‘Uncrowned King of the Great Wilderness’.
Secondly, the Kavhoka region is newly occupied, Murphy.
Although Her Majesty the Wolf Lady wants to reform the backward political system in the country and dismantle the old-fashioned people from the other factions, you can’t ignore the fact that those factions supporting Her Majesty the Wolf Lady themselves belong to the profit-eating class.
The Wolf Woman needs to parcel out new fertile lands to them to honor their loyalty in exchange for more support within the system.
The rich plains of Kavhokar had long ago been carved up under such decisions, and those nobles had their own factions and subordinates, who were just as much in need of commendation.
With such a layer-by-layer distribution, all the land had a new owner, and the farmers living on the original land naturally had to bear all the costs for these guys’ so-called ‘reforms’.
In fact, I’ve been following the situation in the Great Plains of Kavhoka through the Batasin Chamber of Commerce’s network before, and all I can tell you is that the situation over there is even worse than you can imagine.
In the past two months, the Winterwolf Legion of the Crimson Fortress has been deployed 54 times all to suppress small-scale rebellions.
It’s no longer a matter of whether the people over there are hungry or not, they can’t survive anymore.
The fact that we can take in these dislocated peasants in such a way as not to hurt the diplomacy between the two countries is a great boon to the Yankee officials in the Kavkhoka area, who even thank you for your ‘kindness’ as they go about their nightly pleasure-seeking.”
“. I am greatly impressed.”
Murphy rubbed his brow and sat back in his chair as he said:
“Even after having lived in Transylvania for so many years, I still can’t understand the underlying logic of all these things that would happen in this great land.
If my warriors knew about this, they would have wailed and stormed into the Great Plains of Kavhoka to hang each and every one of those bastards who oppress the people from the streetlights themselves.
Alas, the Sons of Order cannot turn a blind eye to this unspeakable chaos, and when they enter a dark and sinful place, stirring it up is the only justice and morality they can do.”
Miriam looked at Murphy.
Once again, the Scarlet Consul felt the unspoken anger in Murphy’s heart, the very hidden anger that always put Murphy at odds with the other vampires.
His way of looking at the world was so different from the Transylvanians that, if she had to say so, Miriam felt that Murphy was more like one of the otherworldly warriors than one of the “natives”.
The more she interacted with the warriors, the clearer this feeling became.
Of course, she wouldn’t be so stupid as to say these words to her face, after Murphy was silent for a few seconds, the consul added:
“In short, your warriors have done another miracle that has surprised everyone, and there have been several proposals from the Administrative Office requesting that more casinos similar to Treasure Bay be built in other parts of Transylvania…”
“No way!”
Murphy said in a hushed voice:
“Don’t even think about it! You’re afraid we won’t die fast enough if you’re going to do this kind of corrupting thing in the middle of a black plague? It’s true that money really moves people’s hearts, so that fools can even ignore the immediate threat in front of them just to hold on to the bag of gold coins before falling into hell.
Miriam, you and Professor Malcolm discuss it again and finalize the license plate.
I can’t stand the idea of facilities like casinos popping up all over Transylvania, especially on the side of the Blood Rat Gang, make sure you keep a watchful eye on them, and cut them off immediately if they dare to just stick their claws out!”
“That’s the second thing I have to tell you, we need tax collectors now.”
Miriam said:
“We’re training tax officials ourselves, but they still have a long way to go before they’re mature, and right now Hidden Treasure Bay’s hit will definitely trigger other imitators.
Even if it doesn’t involve this dangerous area, tax laws for other business models already need to be on the agenda, and that professional of yours in the field of jurisprudence, Mr. Raven, has been sorting out Transylvanian customs lately.
He has assured me that he can provide me with a transitional clockwork of a temporary nature within the next month, though the vacancy of the Tax Collector has become a major problem .
I would like you to .”
“I understand.”
Murphy nodded and said:
“I’ll recruit as many professionals as I can, and they’ll be coming into Transylvania over the next month.”
“Good.”
Miriam sighed in relief.
But at the same time she felt an unspeakable shame.
She felt that she had used Murphy and his warriors as a “cheat” to solve all her problems, and that when she and Professor Malcolm were faced with a difficult problem that could not be solved, the warriors from the Otherworld always stepped in to solve all the troubles like a mechanical séance.
While they do work well, this mentality is not what a manager should have!
Miriam, Miriam, you must work hard to improve your politics and governance, and not continue to rely on the power of others!
You must know shame!
“Ding.”
Just as Miriam was about to leave Murphy’s office, a light prompt suddenly came from the Governor General’s Core Treasure Pearl causing him to lower his head and scan the message that had just appeared.
Murphy’s expression then became strange. He glanced at Miriam, hesitated, and said:
“Your schoolmaster has already departed, Major Fraser, well, it’s a colonel now, the Military Observation Mission of the Kingdom of Goldfinch under Colonel Fraser’s command has departed from the Pioneering Fortress, and they’ll be leading the twenty-five thousand Border Guards that Marshal Loren has supported us with from the Andromeda Hills straight to the Dark Baron’s Territory and find quarters there.”
“You need not use such a strange tone.”
Miriam said with a scowl:
“I don’t have any relationship with His Excellency Fraser that goes beyond what is proper for a friend and partner, are you expecting me to go forward and take over? If it is possible, please change the person.
I don’t want the vicious rumors about myself and him to continue to spread out.
What’s more, Colonel Fraser’s fiancée, Miss Beech, is still in Transylvania.”
“No, you must go yourself this time.”
Murphy sighed as he explained:
“They’ll definitely find the Bloodclaw Clan hiding in the Smuggler’s Woodland in the Dark Barony, and Hogg just applied for safe haven from us.
The Jackal Chief is also worried that it and its clan will be cleaned out by the soldiers of the Kingdom of Goldfinch.
You must explain all of this to Colonel Fraser in person and try to gain his understanding; from our previous contact with him, Fraser is a very organized man who comes from a background of intelligence work and fully understands how much of a role such a unique Jackal clan could play for us in the Black Plague.
In addition, I have chosen an area as the perfect station for the Goldfinch Expeditionary Force, the very same territory we discussed before, at the triple border of Cato, Transylvania, and the Tainted Swamp.
It’s close to the transportation line between Lake Thurepus and the Genoa Peninsula, and is very convenient in every way.
Maybe the Wolfsbane Vampires would have a problem with it, but the heir of the Carpe family is not something they can touch unless old Edward himself comes here.
Seriously.
I’m kind of looking forward to that Ancient One’s appearance in the Cato area, and both Tris and I have a lot of questions we want to ask him.”
Miriam fell silent.
Although the reasons given by Murphy were very good, so that she couldn’t find a point to refute, she could always feel that this guy Murphy “didn’t have good intentions”.
Come to think of it, where exactly the gossip about herself and Frazier came from was still open to question, and it might have something to do with this handsome vampire governor in front of her.
Anger rose in Miriam at the thought.
You and Tris suffered from rumors, why do you want to lift other people’s umbrellas when you’re in the rain?
You guys are going too far ow!
However, Miriam didn’t have any evidence, so she could only give up, and after glaring at Murphy with an odd look, she turned around and left the office, and as the door to the room closed, Murphy, who was serious in his chair, immediately revealed a strange and expectant smile.
Although the scene that he wanted to see earlier where Miriam and Ms. Becky grabbed a man and had a big fight was not seen, but this time Miriam definitely couldn’t avoid it.
Since her own Scarlet Consul was working so hard, let’s consider it as giving her a few days off to deal with her “personal problems”.
With this thought, Murphy got up in a happy mood and planned to continue today’s sword practice with Necessary Evil, his Grave Sword Guards, Midnight Slayer and Wolf’s Kiss Sword Techniques had all reached the Master Level, and the remaining sword techniques were also steadily improving.
Murphy felt that it was hard to say if he could reach the Silver rank before the Black Plague arrived, but he could definitely become the most powerful sword art master in Transylvania!
However, just as he was about to leave the room, a line of prompts popped up on the translucent character card in front of him that Murphy had not expected:
[The development degree of the subordinate administrative unit ‘Hidden Treasure Bay’ has been raised to ‘Stable’! The degree of manpower feedback within this territory has been raised to 2%! Currently, the unit has a population of 841, and can feed back manpower: 16 people.]
“???”
Murphy was shocked by this message.
It had been less than fifteen days since he had been alive and well and had gone there to become the village chief, hadn’t it? And the prosperity level has changed from “deserted” to “stabilized”?
This must have been caused by the casino’s prosperity, right?
If we also count the 18,000 farmers that Old Huo had gotten for Transylvania by way of trade that “have not yet arrived”, the harvest of this wave of “going off the beaten path” could not be described as abundant.
Blanch, do you have a strange system on this little guy? Otherwise, I can’t explain why this development degree has increased so quickly!
“This guy really is a talent! No, it’s not just him.”
Murphy immediately changed his mind not to practice swordplay, but wrapped himself up in the sun and quickly flew to Hidden Treasure Bay Village, where he intended to see the development there with his own eyes.
On the way, he opened the territory interface to carefully check the five farms that had been assigned out, although the development level of the other four farms besides Hidden Treasure Bay was still “Abandoned”, the territory information showed that the development level of these four areas were all rapidly increasing.
Especially the “Newbie Village” in Thapar.
This village was just a little bit away from being stabilized, followed by Pink Cat Rabbit’s “Lion King’s Pride” village, and in fourth place was the “Stonemasonry Brotherhood” established by a bricklayer who was the head of the village.
The fourth village of the Traveler Brothers, “Lost Island”, was the worst, but that was understandable.
Because the location of the fourth village is not very good, is located in the Kardman Plains only at the foot of a small mountain, the road there is not accessible, the slow development is expected, but I heard that the traveler scholars brothers have already begun to prospecting in that area, may be able to give Murphy a little surprise.
This summary of the situation makes Murphy realize that his small players really have their own skills, it is estimated that sometime in the next month, he will be able to harvest four villages with a stable degree of development, plus the Riptide Knights will soon be established in the Riptide Castle stronghold.
Gee, he could finally realize the growth of player quota without relying on searching around for stragglers.
This was also considered to be Transylvania’s management development finally on the right track, thinking about this journey could really not be easy.
Murphy so lamented, probably because of the happy mood caused by the sun irradiation induced burns no longer seem to be too big a problem, he opened his wings in the air and accelerated again, such as a speeding red line across the sky soon entered the Lime Baronial territory, far away from the village at the gulf stream of the Cadman River.
The spirit vulture Freno also flew from afar and also issued a rattling cry, seemingly blaming Murphy for stealing its job, this kind of observation and spying by it to take care of it is good.
But the spirit vulture does not understand the significance of the development of this village for Murphy, just as it can not understand where the biggest worry in Murphy’s heart stems from.
Looking down from a high place would allow the Lord and Governor to see more clearly, he could see a carriage stopping outside the village of Treasure Bay, some were sending things over, some were sending people over.
A large number of villagers unloaded their goods and pushed them on crates to the construction site in the river bay under the command of the civil servants, and the foundation of the second building had already been laid, apparently because the business in the past few days had been so good that Boss Huo, who had gotten the investment, had finally made up his mind to expand his business.
“I suddenly have an idea.”
Murphy watched the bustling scene of Hidden Treasure Bay below from high above in the big sun, a scene rarely seen on the Transylvanian land.
He narrowed his eyes and thought in his mind:
“This kind of prosperity brought about by the entertainment industry can’t last, especially against the backdrop of the impending Black Plague, once the war starts, even the most interesting entertainment pales into insignificance in the face of survival.
However, even soldiers in war need a place to disperse and recuperate, and after the Maginot defense line is constructed, the wounded will need a large backyard.
Wouldn’t this be just the place?
I don’t think even Marshal Loren, that stubborn short man, would refuse to let the soldiers recuperate in a good place after they were lucky enough to survive after giving their courage and sacrifices.
He knows how much of a boost to morale a secure rear can be!
Right!
Along those lines, I think I’ve found Transylvania’s second way of making money in times of war, and field hospitals are going up, right here!
Well, the next step is to recruit some medical professionals, at least get some people who can operate with a knife.
Speaking of which, I think Badger and Good Dove’s school has a medical school, right?
What a great internship opportunity!
It can’t be missed.”
