Chapter 400 Kingdom Factory Plan

It’s no wonder Ariel is sensitive. When Amber was pretending to be Monger Grey River, Ariel carefully observed how this “wise man” used words to deceive people, thinking that one day she could become a smart person.

Therefore, Ariel was familiar with everything about that Mung Gray River's body movements.

Now, although the lich in front of her had no resemblance to Monger Gray River, Ariel could feel that their temperaments were very similar. Especially after Amberxiu finished speaking the last sentence, Ariel knew that she had completely fallen into the trap, just like Monger Gray River had fooled people in the past.

This feeling is really weird.

Ariel couldn't help but look Amber up and down, trying to see through the soul hidden by the lich's transformation spell.

But unfortunately, Amber Xiu did not reveal any flaws. He just said politely: "Your Highness, if you have other considerations, you might as well speak up directly. Business must always be discussed."

Ariel came back to her senses and said to Amber, "What other forms of cooperation did you mention?"

Amber was delighted. Ariel's question meant that his plan was half successful.

Amber said: "It's very simple. The financial problems of the Kingdom of Angry Tide are huge and they can't come up with enough cash. But I know that the population of the Kingdom of Angry Tide is a bit surplus..."

Ariel interrupted and said, "Master Ultraman, you are wrong. The population of the Kingdom of Raging Tide is not large. We are too busy just trying to fill our stomachs."

The Angry Tide Kingdom is scattered across several giant islands, and its population is very small, estimated to be less than 10 million in total.

Moreover, the land area of ​​the Kingdom of Angry Tide is small, so it is impossible to carry out large-scale farming and grazing, and the people can only live on the sea. Therefore, the people of the Kingdom of Angry Tide can only fish and rely on the fish to fill their stomachs.

Most people pay taxes in the form of fish, so gold is very scarce in this kingdom. If it weren't for the discovery of a small gold mine on the seabed, the Kingdom of Fury would have to rely on piracy to make gold.

However, it is extremely difficult to mine underwater gold. Not much gold has been mined over the years, and as a result, the gold mines are almost exhausted.

In a kingdom that can't even get enough food, how can it have the manpower to dive and mine? The Angry Tide Kingdom doesn't have enough gold and doesn't have any special products to show off, so it's difficult for it to trade with other kingdoms on the mainland and it can only suffer losses. This has led to the Angry Tide Kingdom becoming more closed, backward, and poorer.

Therefore, what Amber Xiu said about having sufficient manpower was simply nonsense.

However, Amber shook his head and said, "I know the plight of the Angry Tide Kingdom. Fishing for food is too inefficient and dangerous. It is totally not conducive to the development of the Angry Tide Kingdom."

This is the problem with the island kingdom. If it cannot support a large industrial system and can only engage in fishing and hunting, it will never be able to escape its current predicament.

Amber was able to solve this problem: "I wonder if Your Highness has ever thought about importing food? If the kingdom has enough food, then the kingdom's population can be freed up to do more valuable work, such as processing various alchemical products for me."

"Processing alchemical products?" Ariel said curiously, "But we in the Kingdom of Raging Tide don't have the foundation for this at all."

"It's okay, I have it. I have the complete production line technology for the alchemy factory, I just lack the people."

Ariel thought of the dragons that were tied up just now and said in surprise, "Are you really going to slaughter the dragons and use their bodies for alchemy?"

"Haha, it's not that cruel. I always do business in a long-term manner, not just for one-time deals. What will happen if all the dragons die? So I only target some of the dragon's specialties, such as dragon bone vines, dragon scales, dragon blood, etc. These raw materials can be used to produce a large number of alchemical products with a wide market by simply adjusting the proportions."

Ariel asked again: "You are friends with the Queen of the Dead. Wouldn't it be easier to ask her for help?"

Amber Xiu said helplessly: "The Dark Region is not suitable for building large-scale production lines. Moreover, the materials of the Dragon Clan are very sensitive. If they are contaminated by dark magic, the scrap rate will be very high."

It is not okay to use skeletons to do work. Dragon Clan products are all high-end products. Any little pollution will lead to waste of products, so living people must be used.

Even though there are dwarves and gnomes in the Dark Hell, water and ventilation are still problems, not to mention that there are many winding corridors inside, and it is not easy to find a flat place.

Amber could not use the world-making technique again to create a new environment for the alchemy factory. The investment cost would be too high. Even if he was willing to do so, the subsequent transportation costs would be another huge cost. From the dark area to the surface, only the teleportation array could provide stable transportation, and the cost would be terrifying.

The situation is different in the Kingdom of Angry Tide. It is an island, so transportation is much more convenient.

Amber is planning to build an inter-kingdom airship transport route. If a route is opened here at that time, the cost can be further reduced.

Another point is that the Angry Tide Kingdom is too poor. Cutting the wages of workers in alchemy factories elsewhere in half and then giving them a 30% discount would be enough to hire people from the Angry Tide Kingdom.

The advantage of low wages is unmatched by other places.

Another point is that the Kingdom of Raging Tide is the area closest to Dragon Island. Even if it is not built as a factory, it will be a transit station for transporting materials. Instead of being a transit station, it is better to turn it into a production site directly.

And Amberxiu can also exaggerate the price of combat airships to offset the "salary" of the Kingdom of Rage.

At most, he could give some of the sales profits to the Kingdom of Rage to stimulate their subjective initiative. In this way, Amber could lure these tens of millions of people to become his workers.

Amberxiu's soul trembled with excitement when he thought that this kingdom would become his own alchemy factory. If he played dumping at that time, all the alchemy chambers of commerce on the continent would be crushed by him. At that time, Amberxiu would have the final say on how much the vitality potion cost! "Your Highness, I can provide the kingdom with airships, technology and some infrastructure, and you only need to provide enough workers and venues. As for food, I have some connections with the druids, and I can get enough food from them to ensure that the people of the Kingdom of Raging Tide will not starve.

"I believe Your Highness Princess would not want your people to have to eat fish for the rest of their lives, right? Bread, eggs, milk, and various meats can all be on the menu of the Kingdom of Raging Tide. What do you think?"

Ariel was shocked by the future that Amber described. Even as a princess, her diet consisted of fish, kelp and seaweed. She had rarely eaten beef or mutton, let alone milk. Bread was the only choice because the few cultivated lands in the Kingdom of Fury were given priority to the royal family.

If this lich can really do it, it seems to be a good thing for the Kingdom of Rage.

Ariel was about to agree, but what she said was: "I will seriously consider your suggestion. How about this, Master Ultraman, you write a detailed plan first and let me study it. How to cooperate specifically, what we need to provide, and what we can get, I hope all of these can be reflected in detail in the plan."

Amber Xiu felt emotional in his heart that the silly little girl had really grown up and became smarter and more cautious.

Amber handed the plan that had been prepared long ago to Ariel. The princess simply flipped through it and took a few glances. Her eyes lit up. The content recorded on it was exactly what the Kingdom of Raging Tide needed. Everything was so beautiful. It seemed that as long as the contract was signed, the kingdom would be better.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Poor Ariel, she has grown up in too little time. If she had studied it in depth for a few more years, she might have seen through Amber's tricks.

This is a tinkered proposal that completely avoids the key issues.

What will happen to a kingdom when its food is monopolized and its entire population becomes workers?

This monopoly is invisible. When the people of this kingdom are accustomed to the days of meat and bread, if one day they are forced to return to the days when they could only eat fish, it would be a devastating blow to the kingdom.

At that time, the fate of the Kingdom of Angry Tide was completely in the hands of Amber.

Amberxiu didn't mind Ariel taking the plan back and studying it slowly.

I'm afraid no one in the Kingdom of Fury can understand the tricks in Amber's plan. They are too poor, have too small a population, and can attract too few talents.

Amberxiu had seen their court wizards, some who played with alchemy, some who played with corpses, some who played with spells, but none of them had ever done research on social livelihood.

As for the old king...haha, Mung Grey River was able to deceive the old king, so he was even less capable of seeing the core of the problem.

The only thing to worry about now is the Storm Lord Talos. Will he see through this plan and give his followers an oracle? Is this considered interfering with mortals? Amber could only pray to Io in his heart, God of Gods, please be stricter, it would be best if all gods dare not give out oracles again, then sooner or later this world will fall into his hands.

Looking at Ariel's leaving back, Amber was ready to withdraw his attention.

The Ryan people will not be defeated by the Thunder Sea alone, and they will definitely be able to come to him, so preparations must be made. I hope that the problem can be solved beautifully by then, so as to shock everyone.

But just as Amber was about to continue improving his plan, he suddenly thought of a problem.

Ariel... this name, no way, the woman that fool wants to marry is Princess Ariel?

Originally, Amber Xiu didn't have this idea, because the name Ariel was too common, there were too many people with the same name, and there was really no way to compare them without the surname.

But Aiolos possesses such a special power, the woman he wants to marry cannot be the daughter of an ordinary family, otherwise an ordinary person would not be able to escape Aiolos' pursuit even if he wants to escape the marriage.

Only Princess Ariel is worthy of Aiolos' full pursuit.

Combined with Aiolos's idiotic behavior, Ambers made a bold guess that this might be the gods' way of intervening in the mortal world!
