Pushing open the gate and entering the castle, Su Qing immediately saw two young girls.
Looking at his own body, covered in dust and grime, he suddenly felt like taking a bath.
"Go boil some water, and then clean my scales!"
Chris and the old yellow dog walked in just then.
Chris heard this, looked up at the two cute girls above, and suddenly wanted to curse, "Damn capitalism!"
The old yellow dog flicked its tail. It remembered its owner, who used to bathe that nobleman's daughter all day long.
I don't know why they were washing so happily.
Humans and dragons are so strange!
Su Qing dismissed Mary and Elise and called Old Sam in, instructing him to categorize and store the items carefully.
Monster cores and magical herbs should be stored carefully, as should the flesh and blood... Find some chefs to fry them into meatballs or meat patties, as these things will be very useful for a while.
Su Qing decided to take advantage of the fact that spring was not yet completely over and to completely expand the scale of the breeding farm.
He then instructed Old Sam to send someone to take Chris, the old yellow dog, and the tiger and bear down to rest.
He rushed to the farm and asked the person in charge to take down the sign and have someone prepare a new one.
He also mentioned expanding the scale of the farm, saying that the other party would have a heavy workload, but he trusted him completely.
"You and Old Sam are my right-hand men, the two people I trust most. This task may be difficult, but I believe you will be able to complete it perfectly!"
Su Qing gently patted the person in charge of the breeding farm on the shoulder, her tone sincere and her eyes full of trust.
Deeply moved, the other party immediately pledged his life: "Please rest assured, my lord, if I fail to complete the mission, I will offer my head in return!"
Many workers were quickly brought in, and the farm was rapidly converted.
They were converted into individual small rooms. Although they are small, they can still accommodate two or three monsters depending on their size.
Meanwhile, the farm's new name has been decided, and a new sign has been hung up:
【Heaven and Earth Monster Paradise】
After finishing all this, Su Qing hurriedly returned to the castle, where he finally relaxed and ran into the wooden barrel.
Water vapor rose as four people wiped his scales.
Su Qing took a closer look and found that, in addition to Little Mary and her companion, there was also Miss Bubble and Minnie, Minnie's sister.
The former was staying in the castle temporarily with his two children because he had nowhere else to go, while the latter was staying there because his brother had been sent by Su Qing to manage the construction of cities and towns in the Duchy of Renault. He was quite busy, and also to show that he had no ulterior motives, he left his sister there as well.
So the team that cleaned his scales expanded, making Su Qing wonder if he should make it bigger next time.
The enjoyment of cleaning scales lies in the process; finishing too quickly would be very unpleasant.
After washing his scales, Su Qing went to sleep and was full of energy the next day.
The fatigue from ten days of non-stop work was swept away in an instant.
After receiving Little Mary's message, here are some of the more significant events that might occur within the territory during this period.
During his absence, the territory was generally peaceful.
Construction of the Academy of Martial Arts and Magic has officially begun, but it will probably take two or three months to be fully completed.
Even with the aid of magic, the scale was simply too large, and those buildings couldn't be reinforced by magicians indefinitely.
There were a few other things, not really big issues, which Little Mary handled very well.
Su Qing was surprised by the girl's political abilities. He opened the system's wealth statistics, found Little Mary's name, and was surprised to discover that this girl was already worth a thousand gold coins.
This is different from the previous 10,000 gold coins, which was artificially inflated by the girl's father. This 1,000 gold coins, however, represents the girl's own value.
"Well done!"
Su Qing praised the girl and then began to give instructions on a few other things. The alchemists had already produced paper at a relatively low cost.
While that held little appeal for magicians who only used parchment, this slightly yellowed white paper proved quite useful.
It can be used to make teaching materials and newspapers, and it can also become a commodity for foreign trade.
For ordinary people, this kind of inexpensive paper still has a large market.
However, this requires contacting caravans to facilitate their foreign trade.
Su Qing had considered forming his own caravan, but those caravans had probably already reached some kind of agreement, and forcibly intervening might backfire.
The first step is to cooperate with other caravans to find a breakthrough, then acquire those caravans and gradually develop the business.
These things are not something to consider right now. Su Qing instructed Xiao Mary to set up a newspaper and publish it, so that all kinds of important and trivial matters and stories could be published.
However, Su Qing specifically instructed that the most important pages of the newspaper must be used to promote his benevolence and magnanimity, and that some people should be found to fabricate stories in which his image must be portrayed as great.
He intends to use this method to gradually influence the entire territory and distort everyone's perception of him.
After giving the instructions, Little Mary left to handle the matter.
Su Qing silently looked up, wondering when she had become so terrifying, unknowingly embarking on the path of a capitalist, and why she was so adapted to it.
Su Qing sighed, realizing that she was also forced into this situation by life, so she was blamed for everything!
I got up and left the castle to find Old Yellow Dog. I figured the Heaven and Earth Monster Park should be finished by now, so I could take Old Yellow Dog there.
However, he didn't expect that before he could even go find the old yellow dog, Chris would find him first.
Looking at the shimmering black dragon in front of me, the bow tie around its neck looked rather ugly-cute.
He hesitated for a long time before finally reluctantly uttering that name.
"elder brother!"
Su Qing smiled kindly at her silly younger brother: "Little Golden Retriever, is something wrong?"
"I have some things to take care of and need to leave quickly, so..."
Chris looked at Su Qing.
Su Qing nodded understandingly, "In that case, I'll leave with you after I finish these things."
He didn't know what his adopted brother was planning to do, but it was definitely something urgent.
Perfect, he didn't plan to stay in the territory for long anyway!
The Dragon Territory is currently in a period of rapid development, making it unsuitable for plundering and expanding its territory, as doing so would slow down the accumulation of its wealth.
Why not take this opportunity to go out and expand his sources of income? After all, his temporary departure from the territory won't affect the overall situation.
Since my younger brother is also planning to leave, let's go together.
Su Qing was in a good mood.
Chris wasn't so happy; he hadn't expected the dragon to want to come with him.
