Monster Minotaur

War, if there is no material foundation to support it, can only be a group of naked savages fighting each other. War requires a variety of resources, including people who collect materials, people who produce weapons, and people who transport armor. And these are not created out of thin air. Leaders need to pay salaries to these people who work for the war.

Some people would say that using slaves is a good deal. These purchased defeated captives may be sold as slaves for various reasons, and those who are sold as slaves do not need to pay them salaries. Most countries in the Central Plains use slaves to a greater or lesser extent, and commercial countries like Carthage, which has a large number of merchants, have a large number of slaves in all workshops and plantations.

But in fact, using slaves may seem cost-effective, but it is actually an extremely wasteful system. Because they are slaves, they have no motivation to produce at all. They can only do some simple manual labor, and they need a large number of free people to guard them, otherwise there will be escaped slaves or riots.

This is why Mo Yan liberated a thousand gray dwarves and goblins as free people after he came from the underground city. Using slaves as craftsmen is a stupid act. It has no benefit at all except making the products produced in Thunder Bluff inferior.

Since gray dwarves are free folk, their work is paid. After Parliament City declared war on Thunder Bluff, because the city lacked equipment to defend the city and weapons and equipment for monsters, Mo Yan reduced external exports and ordered the gray dwarves to go all out in production.

In such a situation where wages are unbearable, every occupation in the city needs to pay wages. In addition, Mo Yan recently sent a caravan to Carthage with a lot of money to buy ships and magic materials, and was producing materials needed to build a port city, which directly led to Thunder Bluff's financial crisis.

I accidentally got too excited. Mo Yan looked at the big red negative equity on the report in front of him and was a little confused: Lilith, is this really the city's income? Could it be that you have underestimated something? I remember There should be more than a thousand gold coins left in the city's treasury last time.

That's right. Lilith looked at Mo Yan, who was rarely distressed, and said with a smile: All expenses and income this month have been integrated, and Emily has also calculated them. There are no mistakes. Master, you are so extravagant. Spending money has already emptied the Thunder Bluff treasury. The thousand gold coins you mentioned were paid to the underground city Santos last month. After all, the drow craftsmen and spider breeding factories in the underground city need to pay salaries.

Why do you have to pay those ants? Jones sat on the bench opposite Mo Yan, eating the latest candy from Thunder Bluff and said: You obviously have the final say in everything, so why do you have to pay? ? If you can save this expense, you will get a lot of extra money.

Idiot, you can't save some things. Mo Yan sighed helplessly and said: If there is no such salary support for a high-intensity job like Thunder Bluff, will anyone come? And double the work and let one person do it. It’s definitely a very cost-effective job for four people.”

But this does not solve the current tight financial situation. If there is no additional income at the end of the month, then we will have to default on the wages of some craftsmen. Lilith reminded Mo Yan who was somewhat off-topic: So what we are solving now It’s a financial issue.”

Money, money... Mo Yan, who had just forgotten a little, immediately showed a sad face and muttered to himself: Why don't the dragons here like gold coins? In that case, you can find a dragon's nest and grab some. Maybe I can get some dragon scales or something to sell for money... hmm? As he spoke, Mo Yan raised his head and looked at Jones who was eating candy, as if he remembered something.

What's wrong? Jones said with a slight blush on his face as he saw Mo Yan staring at her.

By the way...are the black dragon's scales valuable? Mo Yan suddenly laughed.

well?

In the parliament city, the city's parliamentarians have gathered in the parliament hall of the castle. This is a place of opportunity for all of Elam. When there are no large gatherings across Elam, it can also be regarded as the parliament hall of the parliament city. Every month, members of parliament elected from all walks of life in the city gather here to vote for the next month. taxes and some important resolutions.

When the end of every four years approaches, the next speaker is elected here and is responsible for the management of some daily work in the entire parliament city. He is also responsible for maintaining order during the all-Elamite vote, announcing the results of the all-Elamite resolution, and canceling the privileges of some cities according to some rules. For example, the last vote was a convening order owned by Santa Fe, and there is nothing else. Other Rights.

This regular parliament, most people already knew the topic of the meeting before it started, which was an issue about impeachment of the current speaker. The proposal was put forward by the members who originally opposed the war. Although the resolution to declare war was passed with a majority vote, the war ended in defeat, and 1,200 soldiers died outside.

Such a bitter pill must have a scapegoat to give the city residents an explanation, and the Speaker, who advocated war and convinced the majority of the members, was regarded as the source of the defeat. If he hadn't insisted on declaring war, how could this end have happened? It was said that the ambassador was killed, but the truth is that almost all the congressmen knew what happened. It was just that he stole other people's secrets and was discovered.

After all three hundred members were seated, the speaker, wearing the robe that only the speaker was qualified to wear, walked in with two legion soldiers. This abnormal behavior made all the MPs frown. Legionnaires were not allowed to attend parliament, and no speaker in history had ever done so.

Some people with a keen political sense immediately thought of the bad side. They secretly left their seats, lowered their bodies and walked outside, but as they expected, there was a group of soldiers guarding the door, and they were standing facing the parliament hall.

What do you want to do! Azela! An old member stood up and pointed angrily at the speaker and yelled: Soldiers are not allowed in the parliament hall. This is where the members convene!

Haha... No more. Azera walked up to the speaker's platform, looked at the members standing up one by one and said with a smile: From today onwards, the city council will be disbanded, and you will be imprisoned until the monster is destroyed that day. On that day of the city. For the benefit and glory of the entire Parliament City, I will be crowned the first emperor of the Parliament City.

Trying to become emperor in Elam will only lead to death! The fat councilor pointed at Azera and yelled: The Salt people have no emperor, and those who try to destroy the freedom of the Salt people will be punished by the God of War!

I'm sorry, Councilor Tut. Hearing the fat councilor's words, Azela's smile became even brighter: The God of War will be on my side, and the God of War will also bless my coronation. He has taken control of the Parliament City. I, the legion, am the absolute winner of this revolution. You can't play any role except blaming me in prison. Guards! Invite all the MPs to the dungeon of the castle.

After hearing Azera's words, groups of Salter warriors rushed in with weapons raised, pushing the members elected by the people one by one, and escorted them to the dungeon of the castle. Some congressmen who were soldiers resisted and were cut down one by one. Unarmed, they were no match for fully armed soldiers.

A thousand years later, the blood of the Salt people once again dyed the ground of the parliament hall of the Parliament City red, but at that time they were resisting Maro's invasion, but this time it was their own soldiers who took action.

Captain, are we really doing this? After escorting all the members, a team of soldiers was sent to clean up the corpses in the parliament hall. A soldier carrying the corpses asked unbearably: These are the things we chose. Member of Parliament.

Think about expanding the army! Think about military expenditures. The captain heard the soldier's words and said with a smile: Our army commander has always wanted to expand the army, but it was rejected every time. It was these congressmen who blocked it. But I heard about this time We will expand our army by 10,000 people! Ten thousand people! Even we can kill the giant dragon in that city! Don’t you feel excited? So many people died in the gray wolf and the giant bear army? We must take this revenge Reported!

It seems to be right. The soldier who felt that what the captain said was very reasonable casually threw the people's MP onto the wooden cart and said: With ten thousand people, when the current legion is gathered, it is already There are so many people. I really don’t know what the scene of more than 10,000 people is like. These congressmen have been imprisoned, and there is no one to stop the increase in military spending, right?

Of course. The captain nodded and said, Our salary will also be greatly increased. I saw a good sword in the blacksmith shop some time ago. I should be able to buy it this time!

Hey, I also want to buy some spider silk cloth for my mother. The warrior said with a smile.
