Chapter 621 Network
The quality of these papers may not be high in the eyes of the mage, but such a novel form of communication directly breaks the originally closed teaching structure of the Karen Kingdom - the "Magic" publication is written with the explanation "Welcome to all magicians to contribute", and at the same time says... As long as the magician is willing to share his research results, Elson City will provide points rewards and can redeem various magic items such as rechargeable crystals with points...
The magic world of Karen Kingdom was in a turmoil, and countless people cursed Elson's behavior with gritted teeth!
Because the dissemination of magic knowledge at this time was still in the stage of "a treasure of one's own treasure", there were not many exchanges between the various academies, and the truly cutting-edge things were hidden, so it was impossible to form a healthy academic atmosphere. However, the emergence of "Magic" broke this pattern with an external force.
Crohn and other mages were very hesitant about this, but after they met and discussed it together, they all understood a fact: if the academic atmosphere did not shift from closure to openness, the gap between Karen Kingdom and Rassieman's fingertips would become larger and larger.
It was not too late to make up for the loss of sheep. Several magicians contributed their articles, and this move even alarmed Charles II... Although the latter expressed dissatisfaction with these strange things, he did not realize what changes this knowledge-based communication across the country would bring in the future.
Because most people think that Elson City's current behavior is simply "doing good things" without asking for rewards.
However, when the nobles found that the "newspaper" began to charge, they vaguely felt something was wrong.
This paper that is thinner and easier to organize than parchment left a very beautiful impression on them. There are too many places to use paper - copying books, passing letters, music scores, scripts or account books, any text-related things like that can be freed from the expensive parchment. But when they tried to buy "paper" on the market, they found that only Palling Trading Company was selling this kind of thing.
This once unknown business has now expanded into a large-scale sales network, and has also spread the tentacles of the "Elson CIA".
Some redundant intelligence upload methods were cancelled before, and instead they were batches of re-screened and trained intelligence personnel to be responsible for information transmission. The unconscious nobles had to let the "Parring" business with exclusive sales rights take root in various places, allowing the originally difficult sales network to quickly extend to the hinterland of the kingdom that had not been reached in the past...
The Palling Trading Bank in each territory has a "president" who is in charge of the business owners of each town below. The "president" is in charge of the "region president" of the five major regions of the kingdom, southeast, west, north, and middle. The superior of the district president is directly the lord of Elson City. When the lord is not present, the guardian Camilla will manage it.
The Elson CIA takes a similar structure, independent of any other department.
Yidao Paper is about 100 pieces of A3 format, and the cost of producing Elson is only thirty copper coins. However, including freight and manpower, the cost of transporting to the other side of the kingdom rose to three silver coins on average. Even so, the low-grade straw paper that was torpedoed to 20 silver coins was quickly snatched away. The supply-short market caused the paper price to soar to 45 silver coins in just a few days before it slowed down. Even at such a expensive price, Yidao Paper was more than 60% lower than the cost of "parchment" of the same area.
So Everta's paper mill is now not making paper, but making gold coins.
This behavior of not forgetting to expand exports at the beginning of the war made Charles II feel unreasonable. He angrily denounced the nobles in the parliament and asked them to expel Palling's business immediately - but when he went to the toilet privately, he still secretly found more than a dozen slaughter paper for members of the royal family to wipe their butts comfortably...
The emperors all felt straight, let alone the nobles below. Everyone closed the Palling Trading Company on the surface, but in fact they directly asked them to change the sign and continue to open it. They turned a blind eye to pretend not to see it - so Charles II's order turned into empty words, while Iversa continued to attract money frantically.
In this era, the speed of cargo transportation was not very fast, because most cargo circulation was solved by individual traders, and when to sell anything, it depends on whether these merchants were willing to do so. However, this problem has been completely solved in Everta today: the "Palling Trading Company" supported by the cabinet now has a transportation network that is incomparable to other trading companies in the entire Karen Kingdom. The convoys used for transportation totaled more than 3,000 people, and there were nearly 1,200 transport vehicles driving on the road, and this number is still increasing.
Monopoly on the cross-age trade of goods, "paper", not only brought unimaginable gold coins to Iversa, but also sold more unsold goods at higher profits through the network of stores to the country of the kingdom that had previously tried to block trade.
A regime with high power concentrated in the central government can be unimaginable in such a thing as a feudal lord king in his lifetime.
As the Duke, Sally never thought before... Everta, who had burned a lot of money to fight, had almost tightened her belt to spend the New Year, became so profitable in the blink of an eye. The transaction volume reported by the Chancellor of the Finance Department made her feel unreal, but after being excited and excited, she was also a little depressed.
Because Sally felt that the gap between her and Roddy was getting bigger and bigger. The former young scout on the border has now become the guy she looked up to, which made her feel very complicated. But after the complicatedness, she realized that she could not catch up with Roddy in her strength. Being able to completely protect the territory with the Duke was her only wish now.
Not long after this idea appeared, the housekeeper suddenly hurriedly knocked on the door with a letter: "It was the Prime Minister's urgent matter, specially sent by...well, the big bird named 'Keda Duck'."
Sally quickly took it to read it and found that the letter was written in a sloppy manner, which should have been written in a hurry. The content made her frown: "The Viper Cross... is going to take the risk?"
She had already experienced the madness of the pagans, but what surprised her even more was the preparations Roddy asked her to do - as a working priest of the "Rose Cross", she had never thought of doing such a thing...
"Many people will die..."
But thinking of the signals cast by Everta Monastery since Roddy's visit, Sally also understood that she had to make the current decision.
In his position, he is planning his own politics. If it is just a priest of the Rose Cross, Sally will definitely not agree to this plan, but as the Duke of "Everta", this is the best solution - when Everta, who is concentrated in power, regards "Rose Cross" as a hidden danger, does not "Rose Cross" also view Everta in this way?
