Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...
"In the past few days, the initial brewing of the white wine has been completed. Yesterday, several barrels of the finished product were also tasted by everyone. The main customers for the subsequent sales will be the Empire. As for the price, I think we can offer a certain premium."
Yinla reported that not many things had happened recently, only a few were important, and he was the only one involved in them. He said, "Youyou, please follow up on the specifics of this matter and compile statistics on the normal monthly output to facilitate pricing."
Seeing Youyou nodding, Yinla then looked at Senata and said, "When delivering [Bee Flower Snow Moon] this time, ask Duke Novak about his intentions. If he is willing to act as an intermediary distributor, we can save ourselves the trouble of selling it ourselves."
After all, if monsters were to open shops within the empire now, there would definitely be a lot of trouble.
If we were to find an agent within the Empire, it's hard to say whether it would cause even more trouble... It would be best if Novak were willing to help with the sales, and taking a cut of the profits would be perfectly acceptable.
However, some people didn't understand the ranking that Yinla mentioned. Although they could roughly guess some of it, Satan Ye still asked the question that was on everyone's mind: "What... is... Zhong... Jie?"
"..."
To explain the medium, one must first explain what a "medium" is, but that's almost impossible to explain clearly, so Yinla could only hesitate and change her mind, saying, "It's..."
However, Yinla didn't know how to explain it.
"Okay, okay, basically they just help us sell it and then take a cut."
Vera waved her hand casually, looking like she couldn't do anything with her, and said, "Yinra, just get back to business. We're all used to it anyway~"
Although I was very annoyed, I managed to extricate myself from this predicament.
Yinla nodded and then moved on to the next matter, saying, "My research on the highly malleable material I've been working on recently, which I've named 'Cement,' is also nearing completion."
"This is a very important resource. Just as I told you before, I hope the material can be kept strictly confidential. We have also added anti-magic stone powder, which does not affect the cement's performance while ensuring it cannot be easily detected... Vera, with this level of anti-magic stone powder added, how long can it guarantee that its composition will not be analyzed?"
In response to Yinla's question, Vera shrugged indifferently and said, "Analyzing spells is completely useless, but if the composition is guessed for other reasons, there's nothing that can be done. After all, it doesn't seem complicated to make."
That's enough.
Yinla nodded confidently, communicating with Tikkap in her mind, signaling him to bring up the cement slabs. Then, as Tikkap suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes, she said, "This is the finished product... Do you understand the significance of road construction?"
"..."
Vera glanced at Illa and said, "If we say we don't know, you won't go on and on and on, will you? Anyway, it doesn't affect people much, but it's very convenient for the carriage to move around... right?"
It seems that Vera understands very well, and the others also understand to some extent... The people of this world are not uncivilized beasts; they are already repairing roads, but they can't do it very well due to limited materials.
"Yes, that's it..."
As Yinla spoke, he looked at the cement that had solidified into a single block and discussed the road paving plan with everyone. He said, "Because cement takes time to dry, the main road will be paved in a left-right half-side pattern when we build the road later."
"The side roads will remain untouched for now because the distribution of buildings within the Demon King's territory may be significantly altered later... Where roads need repair, we'll first lay gravel, and then evenly cover them with cement."
As Yinla spoke, he gestured with his fingers in the air. He looked at Xilina and said, "The raw materials are very cheap. Currently, arranging for people to collect them is enough to complete the planning of the Demon King's territory. Xilina, you arrange the appropriate manpower."
Seeing that Shirina was nodding in agreement, Yinla added, "As for the manufacturing aspect, I might need to transfer a group of werewolves with calcination experience. Wolf, are you okay with that?"
Wolf nodded almost immediately, her wolf ears lying listlessly on her head, and said, "Lord Yinla, please transfer them quickly. A large portion of the werewolves simply cannot become magic craftsmen; they can't even remember a single magic rune."
It seems that Wolfe has been driven crazy by this period of time... but she can only rely on her own efforts.
"Regarding the laying out, I hope Xiao Gang can bring his people to observe for a while, and then the subsequent construction work of the Demon King's territory will be handed over to the constructs... Is that alright?"
Seeing Xiao Gang nodding, Yin La felt that she had finished arranging the cement matter, so she nodded to Satan Ye, indicating that she was ready to end the topic.
After that, it seemed that the leaders had nothing more to report... After all, Yinla had been working like crazy recently, and he had already led everyone to report everything that needed to be reported.
"Um, I have a question for Mr. Yinla."
However, before announcing the adjournment of the meeting, Senata said this, analyzing under everyone's gaze: "So, when will this [cement] be laid in other territories? Hmm, I don't think I've misunderstood, right?"
Senata shook her head as she said this, her beautiful red eyes fixed on Yinra through her silver-white hair, and said, "The greatest use of cement roads, besides facilitating trade, is to strengthen Prince Satanye's rule...right?"
Satan Ye seemed somewhat surprised by this, and said, "Huh?! Isn't a cement road meant to make it easier to go out and avoid getting your feet covered in mud?"
Then, under the watchful eyes of all the leaders, Satan Ye shrank back, then remembered Vera's earlier words and finally understood, saying, "Hmm, thinking about it carefully, if we speed up the carriage... offerings would be more convenient, right?"
That's exactly right.
As Yinla thought this, he looked with satisfaction at Satan Ye, who understood immediately, and then at Senata, who was playing with her own twin tails, and said, "No rush... Strengthening rule requires having rule, and right now there are some traitors secretly laughing with glee."
How should I put it? Yinla is someone who is very good at stirring up other people's emotions. With just a few words, everyone looked up and they all understood Yinla's attitude towards those territories that never learn their lesson.
"We'll take our time to settle things after we've finished what we're doing."
As Yinla spoke, she chuckled as she always had.
This "past" refers to his past when he slaughtered on the battlefield in the most terrifying way; even the leaders who had seen the battlefield were horrified, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies.

The monster that didn't pay taxes: Hehehe, Satan Ye must have forgotten about us, yay~ But, maybe the weather hasn't warmed up yet, my neck always feels a bit chilly.
