Chapter 1891: Money from the wind

Any decision, when it seems unprofitable, or cannot satisfy the desires of the highest authority, will definitely be abandoned.
For example, the artillery plan.
Undoubtedly, after some analysis by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it was forced to abort.
There is not even a little room for recovery.
In this regard, I am also very helpless. After all, Dasai City is not my country, and I cannot follow my ideas.
That being the case, instead of leaving it on hold, it is better to send this plan to a country that can implement it.
So, I bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the Weichen has another plan for the artillery plan."
Seeing that the artillery plan was about to be finalized, the restless factor of mine appeared again, which made the orc king slightly dissatisfied.
But in full view, he couldn't refute me face to face, so he hummed and said, "Say."
"Weichen believes that if it is just an invitation, Fort Vitch may not agree. Even if they agree and send people over, I am afraid that their board and lodging and part of the research funding will be reimbursed by Dasay City. Instead of this, it is better to sell the artillery plan. For Fort Witch, one can exchange the corresponding materials to fill the treasury, and second, it can sell personal affection and consolidate the relationship between the two countries."
The Minister of Finance, who had previously been praised by the Orc King, immediately took a step after hearing my second plan and bowed and said: "The minister thinks that Elder An Xiaoyi's plan is very short, and I reach Cyberjaya and Fort Witchcraft. We are already allies and should take care of each other. Furthermore, Fort Witch also has a lot of materials and minerals that we desperately need. As the saying goes, it’s not beautiful to use each other’s strengths and make up for our shortcomings."
The orc king sitting high on the throne, squinted for a moment, nodded and said, "Then do as Xiaoyi said, okay, it's not too early, let the meeting adjourn."
As soon as I left the palace, I was stopped by the old duke and invited me to his house as a guest.
After entering the mansion and coming to the guest room, I sat opposite the old duke. After taking a sip of tea, the old duke put down his teacup, sighed and said, "I have always been very optimistic about your artillery plan."
"Thanks to the appreciation of the old duke" I said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that Dasai City doesn't know this well."
"Although the power of science and technology cannot be compared with manpower, it is still indispensable in daily life. The firing of tea cups, the smelting of weapons, and the invention of magic airships, without exception, are all derived from the power of science and technology. A powerful country, but neglects life. One day, your Majesty will regret it."
"In fact, you don't have to be so pessimistic." I comforted him: "Even if you can't develop it, you can always spend money on ready-made products. Just like this teacup, isn't it also the hand of the wizard art master?"
"But it hurts people who look at the price." The old duke smiled bitterly: "If you master this technology, do you still need to spend a lot of money to buy it?"
Speaking of this, he paused, glanced at my eyes, and said, "If I said, "If you are willing to spend a lot of money to buy the manufacturing technology of the magic airship, will your foster father sell it?"
"If it were him..." I thought for a while: "I should refuse, after all, this is his painstaking effort for many years."
The old duke sighed depressed.
After that, the two of us chatted for a long time. The topic mainly revolved around the current situation in the Hefeng Continent. During the period, there were many disputes, but the overall atmosphere was still very friendly.
The dinner was eaten at the old duke’s house. During this time, I left and took Jin Siqi, Kailan, and Daphne over. I thought that I would also take the foodie girl by the way, but because the business of many restaurants is too big. After being too hot, this girl couldn't spare any time at all, she even wanted to take me off and help her with it.
Fortunately, I was clever, found a gap, and sneaked away.
Sneaking far away, I can still hear the angry roar of the foodie girl.
The dinner prepared by the old duke was quite rich, even better than the royal banquet in the palace.
During the banquet, the old duchess and I changed glasses and drank constantly. The old duchess sitting by the side stared at her husband with threatening eyes from time to time, but due to the presence of several of my fiancees, she couldn't say much.
This meal, the old duke drank a good time.
After the dinner, the old duke and I were walking in the courtyard of the mansion. The old duke told me about the orc king's test of the hardness of the city wall that day.
He laughed and said: "Xiao Yi, don't you know that that night, your Majesty was punished by the Queen to kneel on the washboard."
I was stunned when I heard it, and couldn't help asking: "Why?"
"It's not because his strength has regressed so much." The old duke sighed with a smile, and said: "I thought that when your Majesty was young, he was also the national power of Dasai City. I didn't expect that this was only a few dozen. In 2017, he actually regressed to this level... Hey, in fact, I should have thought that he hasn't trained himself for more than ten years."
Haven't done self-training for more than ten years?
I was shocked and blurted out: "Why is that so strong?"
"The foundation is hard." The old prince carried his hands on his back, and said melancholy: "I thought that back then, in order to make him a talent, I had to work hard... Forget it, it's all about the past, don't mention it."
With a self-deprecating laugh, the old duke hummed a simple, but very nice tone.
When I got home, I told Kailan about the equipment-enhanced machine. The woman jumped up to Gao with excitement immediately, and she was so happy from ear to ear.
However, when I said that the funds will also be deployed by Dasai City, her excitement suddenly disappeared, and she replaced it with a pitiful expression, sitting down next to me cleverly, changing from the past. Free and easy.
"Xiaoyi~~~~" Kailan said six or seven tunes, and I got goose bumps all over my body.
"what's up?"
"That... in terms of funding, can you continue to support me a little bit?" Kailan carefully observed my expression, saw my brows frowned, and immediately said, "As long as half of the original funds!"
Seeing that my expression was still serious, she tightened her nose and hesitated: "Three... one third?"
I stared, and my eyebrows crumbled: "One third?"
"Oh, it doesn't matter, it can't be less than one-third anyway, otherwise I won't have money to drink...Ah!"
Kailan quickly covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wandering around.
"Haha" I sneered twice and said, "It turned out to be for drinking."
Kailan saw that she had missed her mouth and couldn't deny it, so she had to laugh with her: "Hey hey, look at what you said, drinking is also an indispensable part of work~"
"The funds I gave you for the activities are enough to support the operation of a medium-sized guild for one month. You are good. In less than a month, you spent all of it on drinking. You really think my money is windy. Is it?"
Kailan embarrassedly stuck out her tongue, put her arm around me and said coquettishly: "Why? Where can you make more money from the wind?"
