arcane emperor

Chapter 77
"We must store enough food and prepare enough bows and crossbows. Production in this area is temporarily unavailable..."

"The magic materials are ready to be produced on our own, but there is still a long way to go before we can achieve scale..."

"Ordinary weapons and equipment are the production targets for the next stage. It's time to prepare to find sales..."

"..."

Now that he had made up his mind, Matthew took a look at the balance sheet that seemed to be balanced. He was too lazy to argue with the flattering Adams. He nodded appreciatively and said:

"You did a good job this time. The acquisition of other daily necessities can be postponed for now."

"Concentrate all your strength and purchase as much food and some magic materials as possible. You must also continue to purchase heavy bows and crossbows."

Although he was surprised by the Lord's continued big moves, Adam Smith immediately began to guess whether there was any hidden meaning in it.

"Could it be that? The price of food and spell-casting materials has increased..."

Adam Smith, who had a very flexible brain, felt a chill and bursts of secret joy at the same time.

He could basically conclude that Matthew's judgment would definitely not be wrong, or he must have gotten the news from other hidden channels.

For a businessman, news is money!

Adam Smith, who had come in with a partial tip, immediately felt that the deal was very profitable. When he saw the dark and deep eyes of the lord, he subconsciously trembled:
"Is this the reward given to me by the lord?"

"That must be the case, that's right..."

"Looking at it this way, the lord may very well have pushed me to the front as a pawn and bait..."

Rather than being upset or angry, Adam Smith felt that he should seize the opportunity.

"This is most likely a "test" by the lord, so I will definitely take a trip into this muddy water..."

Before Adam Smith could think clearly, Matthew's follow-up mission came to his ears:
"In addition, don't stop recruiting people and supplies. The territory is currently in urgent need of people!"

"Help me recruit as many druids as possible..."

Everything else is easy to talk about, but this task of the Druid gave Adam Smith a little headache.

He thought about it for a moment, gritted his teeth, nodded and said:
"The recruitment of personnel is currently on track."

"I have used multiple aspects and channels to continuously recruit civilians and refugees from the south. The number can be maintained at 2000 every week."

"However, druids generally work in groups, and it is difficult to find their traces or get them to accept recruitment..."

Seeing that Adam Smith did not ask any forward-thinking questions, Matthew couldn't help but smile and said calmly:
"Don't worry, you have proven your ability."

"If you can find a druid, look for it. It doesn't matter if you can't find it..."

"From now on, we can provide you with 5000 bottles of blood-activating potion every week."

"Fixed acquisition mission, 200 million pounds of wheat, 10 heavy crossbows, this amount will be deducted from the sale of blood-activating potions..."

"You have to spend these 2500 gold coins as much as possible..."

After hearing that there were exactly 5000 bottles of blood-activating potion every week, Adam Smith's eyes were shining with the luster of gold coins. He quickly recorded and nodded quickly.

In Adam Smith's view, Matthew, who has a background in the Seer family, sells so many potions every week, which is just the tip of the iceberg.

There are tens of thousands of adventurers in Blood Moon City, which is a very huge market. This is probably just a trial by the lord to test the waters...

Butler Ralph next to him had a little surprise on his face.

He knew very well that all the potions could only be refined by the lord himself, but could the lord really tolerate nearly 1000 bottles of potions every day?

Moreover, would such a large volume of shipments really not attract the attention of other forces?
The Lord's arrangement is full of a certain sense of urgency, just like his vigorous development of Bay Village.

This is really strange for an Arcanist Lord.

This has nothing to do with kindness... If he knew what Butler Ralph was thinking, Matthew would definitely be very emotional and put a heavier burden on him.

Once people are idle, they will have random thoughts!
Looking at Adam Smith who was a little anxious, and Matthew who still had a task to give him, he waved and said:
"Don't leave in a hurry. The development of Bay Village has been on track for the time being."

"You should spend time looking at its changes and looking for its shortcomings and shortcomings for me, so that you know what to buy next..."

If you have the right tools, why not use them?

Matthew has never been the kind of person to do everything.

Let professional people do professional things, so as to promote their growth and keep up with his development.

These words fell into Adam Smith's ears, making him feel extra surprised. In the eyes of this shrewd businessman, this was a signal of intimacy from the lord.

The excited Adams nodded repeatedly, patted his chest and promised:
"I will definitely take a good look and bring back the missing items and resources as soon as possible..."

Seeing his excitement, Matthew didn't bother to explain anything.

Let this sensible businessman figure it out for himself. Maybe this way he will feel more involved and more attentive.

After half an hour.

With a smile on his face, Adam Smith accompanied Butler Ralph and left the Lord's Mansion.

The highly motivated businessman praised the changes in Bay Village in an incredible tone:

"How long has it been since then? Bay Village has almost become more prosperous than a small town..."

While saying this, Adam Smith walked into a shop. The faint fishy smell did not make him express dissatisfaction. Instead, he carefully looked at the different types of fish.

There are not only pickled salted fish here, but also lively fresh fish in the tank.

Hundreds of years ago, after the cooking methods from the East spread, people gradually fell in love with eating fish.

After all, this is rare meat.

At the signal of Butler Ralph, the old village chief Field, who knew that Adam Smith was quite wealthy, came over very naturally and introduced with a touch of helplessness:

"Whether it is the spacious Silver Moon River or the coastline nearly a hundred kilometers away, they can bring us rich catches..."

"But it's a pity that there are too many murlocs there, so we can only make small fuss..."

Adam Smith naturally knew the identity of the old village chief Field. After hearing his words, he carefully looked at the products here.

Sardines, croakers, red-tailed snappers, and other small fish are all available.

There are various varieties of large fish such as cod, grouper, and tuna.

Even if you just build two piers on the river bank or open a road to develop the coastline, you can get an amazing amount of fish.

Moreover, it is a business almost all year round!

Adam Smith knew it, too, as did aquatic development elsewhere across the continent.

An uncountable large number of fishmen and various dangerous aquatic creatures will greatly increase the cost of development and the difficulty of maintenance.

Mayor Field seemed to think that this condition was a bit difficult, and silently introduced to Adam Smith the local ways of eating various catches.

After a while, Mayor Field took him away again and came to another shop.

There are all kinds of clothes on display here, all made of linen. The materials are very solid and the styles are pretty good.

Several recruited tailors, each with two apprentices, were busy in the shop.

Touching the tip of his nose, Adam Smith now understood...
