Lili sang a melodious song in a low voice, and Lant felt that his fighting spirit was quietly resting on her shoulders. There was no flow of magic power, nor any feeling of being watched by the gods, but the depression in his heart over the past few weeks The Qi is also constantly being released.

After Lili finished singing, Lant had regained his previous energy.

"Thank you, I feel much better." Lant patted Lili,

"It seems that he is indeed a rare spiritual mage." Looking at the girls who cared about him, Lant felt very pleased.

"Come on, I have nothing to do. You can go back to bed." The girls looked at each other, and finally Wendy spoke,

"Sir, there is one more thing you need to decide." Then he nodded to the little red bird next to him.

Then two knights held the junior wizard Gatsby Lanyuan and the female magician apprentice Sally Feilong.

"Sir, sir, please listen to my explanation. I definitely don't mean to be disloyal at all. I just see that the Lot territory needs some pickles and the iron mine needs some paper. It's just like pouring it over."

"You still dare to say loyalty? Were you loyal to the king when you were serving in the palace? Or were you loyal to the human race in the iron mine?" Lili asked Gatsby casually and caught Gatsby's sore spot.

"Let them go, there's no danger." Lant waved his hand and said to the two knights,

"I've read their materials, and the two of them combined can't do more magic than me." Hearing such sarcasm, Gatsby Lanyuan and Sally Feilong both showed very embarrassed expressions.

"You said Lot is short of goods, how do you plan to transport them there?" Lant asked the two of them with a smile. In fact, what these two mages do is very common, especially among the various territories of the human race. The mages will use magic to grasp the price difference of items between cities, and use their privileges to buy and sell.

Gatsby and Sari naturally want to continue doing this in the Galloping Horse territory. They need to open up the information and logistics channels. The logistics mage thinks it will be easy to handle, because knights and cavalry always have some respect for magicians. Gates This junior mage dares to confront the intermediate knight confidently.

However, the information channel is difficult to handle. Little Cardinal is also a junior mage, and the tent is still next to Lant's main tent. Everyone knows his relationship with Nila. Gatsby and Sally planned to get through Little Cardinal today. this joint.

Lant listened carefully to the two people's plans, became somewhat interested, and asked,

"If you want to give Little Red Bird a share, how much profit do you plan to share?"

"Sir? I have never taken their money!" The little red bird on the side was a little anxious.

"This?" Gatsby never thought that Lant could ask about this matter, so he reported the number with a guilty conscience.

"Twenty percent, and the remaining 20% ​​will be given to the knight in charge of transportation. The consuls on both sides will each give 20%, and the two of us will also be able to share the 20% profit." Rant didn't say anything about this method of dividing the spoils, and just continued. asked

"You only trade between a few territories? You have no channels with outside buyers?"

"Sir, we have several channels. There are several mages and lords who are interested in the magic plants and alchemical items in the territory. If you want to contact me, I am willing to run!" Gatsby suddenly heard the hope, and inside the territory The operation is only for a more sufficient supply of goods, and only external business can truly make money.

"Sir, this man is not trustworthy." Lili looked at Gatsby's color and felt that he was very unreliable.

"Gatsby, I give you one last chance. Starting next week, you have one month to allocate materials between the territories you mentioned in Lot, Yeqi, Salt Mine, and Iron Mine. The division will be based on What you just said, you take 20%, and the remaining 20% ​​goes to the little cardinal, 20% goes to the knight who is responsible for the transfer, and 40% goes to me. If your performance satisfies me enough, I can let you go to the outside. magician client.”

"Sir? Do you really allow me to use the internal caravan and signal group for repurchasing... deployment?"

"Yes, you can only start next week, and you only have one month." After saying this, Rant waved his hand and let the two people leave.

In the puzzled eyes of the girls, Gatsby and Sally were taken out of the courtyard where the monsters were kept. Lant told the little red bird without waiting for anyone else's reaction,

"The centimeter conversion price of all our products is calculated based on cost. It can only reflect the value of the product, but it cannot reflect the demand for the product. I asked Gatsby to work on it for a month this time, just to Find out how many centimeters each commodity can sell in different areas of the territory. This can only be based on the market." Lant realized very early that although the prices of commodities in the territory conformed to the laws of value, they did not conform to the laws of the market. , now the products are single and the number of citizens is small. If the laws of the market are not respected, big problems will not arise.

But in the future, if Rand is to be the king of the Galloping Horse Plains, and the number of its citizens will increase, it must find a way to establish a controllable market pricing mechanism.

And today's Gatsby is an attempt.

"Sir, do you mean that in the future, our signal team will not only need to manage communications in various places, but also need to control the prices of various commodities?" Xiao Hongque is worthy of being the eldest sister of the signal team, and she understood immediately after hearing this.

"Yes, that's what I mean. In other words, in the future you have to prepare to replace Makoto as Benma's financial officer or even political officer." Makoto has been complaining about being unable to manage so many things since the iron ore was recovered. Financial accounts, I hope Rand can find someone trustworthy and capable to take over as soon as possible.

In the past, the old Benma family, the finances of the baron territory were the accounts of the baron family. Whether it was the Gray Goose tribe or the Lot territory, they were pretty much the same. There were not many people in the territory, and the assets were only 100,000 gold coins at most, so there was no need to set up a special department. .

It can be said that in the future, there will be more and more people in the territory of Rand, and the territory will become larger and larger. The personnel responsible for economic statistics, currency issuance and the private accounts of the lords must be separated. Rand is now preparing to establish a more sophisticated economic department.

"All commodities need to be coded in the past two days. From now on, your signal team will start to count and summarize economic and commodity information from various places. You will be the person in charge." Lant said to the little cardinal seriously,

"That Gatsby is indeed untrustworthy, but without him, there may not be anyone who would speculate. It's hard to say whether any of the newly arrived intermediate knights, senior knights and intermediate mages have any similar intentions."

"Sir, I will definitely do a good job of statistical work for you, but what if that Gatsby does something random and makes the people in the territory unable to buy goods?"

"Humph, that's not easy. Didn't he already admit that he was a speculator?" Before Gatsby was brought in, Little Cardinal and the others had asked him to write a confession and confession.

"You also need to make it clear to him that speculating in the territory only means earning cents. If he does not do well, he will be blamed for the economic crisis in the entire territory. But if he does well and successfully arranges the circulation of various products, he will go outside. Go earn gold coins.”

"Sir, did you just come up with this?" Lili was a little shocked when she looked at Lant, feeling that her master had never used power in this way.

But Lant didn't answer Lili's question.

"Lili, there is something else you need to worry about."

"ah?"

"There is a fox, please help me go see her."
