Chapter 273: The Plan of the Super Chamber of Commerce
"Now in the south of Kaedwen is Count Kaen. According to blood relationship, he is Henselt's nephew, twenty-three years old this year, just inherited the title. Although his prestige is insufficient, his family background is rich, and he has a large group of small nobles supporting him. However, he doesn't have many soldiers under his command and doesn't have much practical experience."
"And in the north of Kaedwen is Henselt's cousin, Marquis Irasaite, who was once a general of the Brown Cavalry Battalion and has a heavy cavalry under his command."
"Although he cannot compare with Count Kaen in terms of financial resources, he inherited Henselt's philosophy and also has a bunch of conservative nobles supporting him."
After the business was finished, the two continued to walk in the wilderness riding the Deathclaw. Francesca told Wayne about some of the political situation in Kaedwen now.
"Now human nobles are busy taking sides and winning over others, and our work of rescuing compatriots has become smoother. And because of the spread of the fog, places outside cities and towns have become less safe, which has also caused many refugees to want to squeeze into the city."
"Even the Sorcerers Brotherhood has delegated many sorcerers to be stationed in cities around the fog, paying attention to the situation there at any time."
"They are also very worried that the space rift will continue to expand, allowing more powerful monsters to come to this world from the different world. It is estimated that many high-level sorcerers are studying how to close this rift."
"Unfortunately, studying a new spell is not something that can be completed in a short time."
"So the matter of Kaedwen, no one knows when it will be solved."
Wayne nodded when he heard this. Under Francesca's introduction, he had a general understanding of the situation in Kaedwen and even the Northern Kingdoms.
On the whole, it was about the same as the original work, but because Kaedwen had problems, it triggered the turmoil of surrounding countries, which had some discrepancies with the original work.
He considered the wording. Since everyone was going to deepen cooperation in the future, it was appropriate to reveal some information now.
After considering for dozens of seconds, Wayne coughed lightly, and after Francesca looked at him, he opened his mouth and said: "Ms., actually I have a plan, a big plan, perhaps in this regard, we can cooperate."
Francesca showed an interested expression immediately upon hearing this.
"Oh! What big plan?"
"I am very willing to listen to you share your plan."
She had a good impression of Wayne. Whether it was his brain or strength, among the young generation of the elf race, she basically couldn't see anyone more outstanding than him.
And in order to deepen the trust with Wayne and grasp this powerful potential stock, even if she suffered a little loss, she was willing to join the cooperation.
"Hmm!"
"How to say it? Ms., as one of the managers of the elf race, you should also have realized the importance of money."
"In this world, money is a powerful force, from the bits and pieces of common people's lives to the replacement of the throne, the formation of the army, and even the wars that affect the whole world, it will be affected by money."
"However, if money is just placed there, just stored in the bank or just stored in the treasury, it has no effect."
"It must be taken out, let it operate, let everyone chase it, everyone longs for it, everyone is willing to pay for it, it can be realized into power."
"In this world, besides noble titles, the least lacking is the kind of ordinary people who are willing to do anything for money."
Listening to Wayne's words, the interested look on Francesca's face became heavier and heavier, and at the same time, various things she hadn't thought of before appeared in her mind. She used to just treat money as a tool to hire others and a necessity to maintain a comfortable life, and never thought about it deeply.
After all, the elf kingdom of the past sat on so much wealth, but still suffered a crushing defeat in the hands of humans. So many gold and jewelry were just like dung, and couldn't stop the footsteps of humans at all.
So although Francesca could be considered a big rich woman, she didn't pay much attention to wealth itself, and the Valley of Flowers was basically in a state of isolation, not even needing money circulation. Gold had no value there at all.
Wayne's words paused for a few seconds, looking at the elf sorceress's slightly flashing eyes, he continued:
"I am preparing to form the largest chamber of commerce in the North, build a commercial network covering the entire North, not only to master the intelligence of the entire North, but also to recruit guards, recruit merchants, recruit talents, control prices, etc., in various ways to realize the power of money."
"Perhaps, witchers and the elf race belong to the weak existence in the North and are targeted by many people, but the power of money is equal in front of all races."
"As long as we manage it properly, those nobles are even willing to sell their kings for money, and those soldiers are also willing to fight for us for money."
"We can even indirectly control the economy of a country by controlling prices and controlling commodity trading."
"Although this is not a very direct power, if used well, it is an extremely powerful force that can influence everything in the human world, and it is not surprising to call it the power of gods."
As he spoke, Wayne felt that his words were like a god-stick, quite a bit of infinite worship of money.
But it was not wrong. Except for existences with extremely powerful personal strength, the lives of ordinary people and everything in the world could not be separated from money. Their whole lives were struggling for money. Saying that their lives were all controlled by money was not wrong.
Although Wayne felt that his words had the temperament of a god-stick, Francesca listened with relish, as if opening another door, and various ideas flashed in her mind.
As one of the most powerful sorceresses in the world, she herself was a person of extreme intelligence.
In the past, her thinking always stopped at how to strengthen the power of the elf race, how to preserve her own people, and how to increase the influence of the elf race in the world, but she had never considered using the method of money.
Wayne's words were like poking a piece of paper, making her have many ideas in her heart, and she even couldn't wait to actually operate it now.
Looking at Francesca's somewhat moved expression, Wayne knew that her words resonated with this clever sorceress and left a very deep impression in her heart.
So, he coughed again and continued:
"Ms. Francesca, as one of the managers of the elf race now, you have a large group of talents who possess various skills but cannot display them."
"Although they cannot walk on the bright side and are easily targeted by humans, the products they make and their craftsmanship are absolutely top-notch."
"I want to build the most powerful chamber of commerce in the world. What I need are people I can trust, people with ability, and sufficient financial resources."
"Now, I can tell you that the wealth I possess is incomparable to all the kings of the North combined."
"And you have talents who are loyal to the elf race. If the two of us cooperate, this big plan of mine might be able to take shape very quickly."
"I believe that as long as we are willing to work hard in this regard, the life of the elf race will get better and better."
