Chapter 676 Control the economy
Olivia felt that she used Kelmohan as a base to develop, just like playing the "Civilization" game. The style of the game system seemed to have changed from the original role-playing game to the farming strategy game, and building a world wonder can also buff its own power.
It can be said that without the assistance of the game system, she would not have developed this originally barren and desolate Kylemohan into its current wealth and prosperity within a few years of "hosting and hanging up".
Of course, Kelmohan may not be able to compare with those old-fashioned cities, such as Vigima, the capital of Temolia, the imperial capital of the Nifgad Empire, or the city of Liberty Novigre.
Among them, Novigra is indeed very prosperous and famous. It is a free city located in Redania. It is the largest city and main port in the north.
Novigre is often called the capital of the world by northerners, and there is no reason for this.
The city's amazing wealth, influence and strategic importance made the city a coveted existence among all countries. In the plan of Emperor Enhill, Novigre would also be conquered by him.
People of different occupations and races gather in this city, with almost 30,000 residents here, not including the business and visitors coming here. The main roads are paved with stones, and they have a harbor, many warehouses, four water mills, slaughterhouses, sawmills, and an oversized shoemaking factory. In addition, there are all the industries you can imagine. Mints, eight banks, and nineteen pawn shops; but the only disadvantage is that the civilization in the city has not yet been civilized.
Therefore, the spectacular buildings and commercial facilities in the city live in the church called Eternal Fire. The local church leaders and temple guards firmly grasp the fate of the city. They use superstition to control the residents of the city and they control more and more residents.
It is strictly forbidden to wear any other god symbols, conduct rituals or missionary work in other religions. Inhabitants in Novigre can only believe in the only one of the eternal fires. Engaging in activities in other religions will be regarded as a pagan evil and will be severely punished by law (public stolen).
In short, the Eternal Fire Sect has a great influence in this city and has built a temple on a small island, which is also called the Temple Island.
In the words of the city's citizens, "What do you want, you can find Zerekan spice in Novigre? Here is the sword cast from the ancient dwarf furnace? No problem, buy one get one free. Tosent wine? Whatever you want - as long as you have money, you need more money."
As a city of freedom, the city council formulates its own unique currency and unit of measurement. Through these, Novigre can guarantee its trade status on this continent.
In the fierce confrontation between the north and the south, the economies of all countries were severely impacted, and the most guaranteed currency now is the Kroner minted by Novigre.
Although Novigre is not a country, as a city-state with free commercial economy, Novigre's economy is booming, and the value of the Kronor currency is naturally rising. It is now the only payment method common in the world. Whether it is the merchants, nobles, townsmen and ordinary farmers in the north, or the quarrestrial officers of Nifgaard, dwarf bankers, women of the wind, and of course the demon hunters, they all accept it.
Olivia was sitting in a very luxurious carriage at this time and was heading to Novigre, the city of Liberty, to discuss a business.
After several years of growth, Olivia has completely become a great beauty. She has long silver hair that is long to her waist and is always wearing fashionable clothes she designed herself. It not only conforms to the aesthetics of this world, but also has an artistic sense that other designers cannot design...
In terms of jewelry, she also made innovations and used technology to create "glass" and dared to hype this kind of jewelry to the price of gold. In fact, the cost should not be too low, and she used it to make huge profits.
In short, the clothing designed by Princess Olivia, the "Pearl of the North", has become a popular brand in the world. Its users are those particularly rich noble ladies and ladies. Its cost of a piece of clothing obviously, but due to the brand value, selling one often makes Olivia profitable.
Princess Olivia, who originally wanted to be an empress, actually first used all the savings of the Wolf School Demon Hunters to create a chamber of commerce, in order to make it the money bag of her own power in the future. What she didn't expect was that the chamber of commerce was getting bigger and bigger, and the dividends given to the Wolf School Demon Hunters every year made them seem to have no need to go to the days of licking blood from the knife.
This is not something unimaginable, because no matter in which world or era, you can have your own exclusive products and have high technical barriers. How can other chambers of commerce compete with it?
Some chambers of commerce have passed the extra-track tricks, but unfortunately, they encountered iron plates, and the demon hunters firmly safeguarded the interests of the Olivia Chamber of Commerce. After all, they are all shareholders of the chamber of commerce after all.
In addition, Olivia is Geralt's adopted daughter. After living in Kelmohan for so long, they have long regarded her as their relatives. Now she can bring such a huge change to Kelmohan and improve the lives of all Wolf School demon hunters, at least so that everyone will no longer have to sacrifice their lives to hunt monsters. They are very grateful to Olivia in their hearts.
Now, for all wolf school demon hunters, hunting monsters is only a hobby, just like hunting, not something that must be done in order to survive.
Based on the settings of the fantasy novels she often read, Olivia created a legendary "mercenary union", and then very standardized various mercenary groups, mercenary teams, and then released tasks.
Although the mercenaries are not as good as the professional army she thinks, they still have miraculous effects at some point.
This time Olivia came to Novigre. The surface purpose was to talk about a raw material business. Kelmohan, who was increasingly developing into an industrialized city, needed all kinds of raw materials, such as iron ore, copper ore, coal mine, wood, etc., and her real purpose was naturally to expand the influence of the Olivia Chamber of Commerce to Novigre, and eventually even control such a coveted city of freedom through economic means!
Once this goal is achieved, the power Olivia has will no longer be short of money! ——
