The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 341 Scientifically Exploiting
"Well, this dish is indeed delicious. Although Mr. Luo Zhen lives in France, he is actually German. Now that Alice has mastered alchemy, she has completely given up cooking and spends all day in the laboratory. If it weren't for your robot, the father and daughter would probably use nutritional supplements to solve the problem of eating in the laboratory."

Rose Crystal used her small knife and fork to taste the French pigeon floss tart Ryan brought her, and complained about the Germans' food view. Ryan could only remain silent at this time, because the food level in the UK where he was now was still lower than that of the Germans, and there was really not much to comment on.

They were now sitting in the Wanjie Grocery Store. Xiaoqing had grown a table and two chairs. The two sat at the table facing each other. Rose Crystal ate the food elegantly and quickly, while Ryan sat opposite, drinking sugared milk while watching the little doll wolf it down.

"Well, now I understand a little bit how Luo Zhen feels when he becomes a father." Ryan thought while holding the cup. This was the first time in two lifetimes that he had such a special feeling. "Raising the next generation is really a wonderful feeling!"

Soon Rose Crystal finished the whole dish. After wiping her mouth with a napkin, she began to report her recent work achievements to Ryan, and the first item was about the last loot.

The loot from the vampire castle was divided into two parts. Later, Ryan gave most of his loot to Luo Zhen to express his gratitude for his teaching. However, the remaining loot was small but all were fine products. For example, Rose Crystal found a small box of goblin pure silver ingots during the sorting process. With this, she could forge a weapon of similar quality to the Gryffindor sword.

In addition, there is a lot of precious blood and many extremely rare medicinal materials, such as a dragon heart as big as a football, and the blood of the Reem cattle. These things are kept fresh by the vampires using special methods. For every alchemist, these are rare treasures.

As the person who now controls all of Ryan's wealth, Rose Crystal finally reported on Ryan's largest piece of wealth, the kingdom located in the world of "A Song of Ice and Fire".

The kingdom is now running smoothly. Its modern structure has been tempered by history. With enough people to maintain it, it is much more efficient than the crude feudal system of the Middle Ages.

The major events reported are as follows: Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King in Westeros, has died, and now Eddard Stark, the Warden of the North, has taken over the position. The envoy he sent came on our clipper to borrow money from the Meereen Bank.

"I reject this proposal." Rose Crystal said, "Let's not talk about the fact that according to historical inertia, that place will become a mess. Now we are in a period of rapid development. It is better to invest this large amount of money in anything rather than throwing it into that bottomless pit. It will definitely accumulate wealth much faster than those medieval countries."

"Very good, you handled this matter well." Ryan praised, "But you must be polite when you refuse. If you really can't refuse, you can provide some funds, but you must require them to provide sufficient collateral. For example, the dock in King's Landing is a good choice, which will facilitate our market development." Rose Crystal nodded to indicate that she had taken note.

"Second, we killed a large group of pirates who tried to attack Meereen. They had nearly three hundred ships. The supporters behind them were Toros, Elia, Mataris and Volantis. Because we liberated the slave city-states, we cut off the source of slaves for this city. What should we do next?"

"Isn't there a True Red Temple over there? Why would they attack us?" Ryan asked his question.

"Human affairs are mostly human affairs, and Zhenhong doesn't have the patience to take care of so many things like we do. Besides, Zhenhong doesn't think it's a good idea to kill so many people, and the temples can't control those slave traders who are blinded by money, especially the three city-states in the east, which have few temples. Many of the pirates this time were disguised as their navy."

"This is easy. Send the navy to Volantis to block their ports. Then work with the Hand of Holy Fire to clean up the slave traders. Don't worry about the other free trade cities, since they are not an entity anyway. In short, teach them a lesson and let them join our trade circle."

"What about the other three city-states?" Rose Crystal asked.

"The three slave city-states west of Slave Bay have always been resentful of our liberation of slaves, so we might as well just occupy them this time. Anyway, our people have always been gritting their teeth at those slave city-states, hoping to liberate their fellow slaves. It just so happens that the grain tax for this quarter has arrived, so we can fight another battle to expand our power and control the entire Slave Bay." Ryan decided on the next strategy. If we have enough power, we can just run over them. We ignored them before because it was troublesome, but if they start to attack, we must fight back and knock them down, so that there won't be so many annoying guys in the future.

This victory was due to the advantage of technology. After the electron tube was produced by the Amethyst City Electronics Factory, scholars soon proposed the idea of ​​using electromagnetic waves to search for enemies. When Ryan heard Rose Crystal's report, he was shocked by their imagination. Half a year ago, people in the Middle Ages came up with the idea of ​​radar after mastering knowledge. It can be seen that knowledge can indeed change a lot of things. The ancients just lacked knowledge, but it does not mean they are dumber than people today.

This was the case with the Milin radar station that made a great contribution this time. The synths that Ryan brought with him only provided some suggestions, and the main design of the radar was completed by locals. For example, the chief designer was a chief priest from Amethyst City. Ryan found a magical place in the list, that is, the group of priests under Rose Crystal accounted for 60% of the list.

"My subordinates know that I worship knowledge, so now even priests have to pass exams to get promoted. They don't need other work on a daily basis, so studying and learning have become their daily routine, so it's normal that they appear more often on the list." This is how Rose Crystal explained.

"——I still think you should change the name of the church to the Church of Technology." Ryan didn't know how to complain. What happened next can be imagined. The 120km radar detection range provided Meereen with seven hours of warning time, and then the more than 100 ships were easily sunk by more than 20 steam ironclad ships.

"The last part is population migration." Rose Crystal turned to the last page of the data. "Our merchant ships also went to the north of the Great Wall and brought in a lot of wild people. They are a very good population supplement."

"Are they willing to come?" Ryan remembered that in the original book, the wildlings would not have been willing to go to the territory of the so-called kneeling people in the south unless they were attacked by the White Walkers.

"Of course they do. That polar climate is not suitable for human survival. We don't have the feudal hierarchy system like the West, which actually suits their taste." Rose Crystal explained. "And they are very easy to manage. They obey the rules even more than those so-called civilized people. You have to know that in such harsh climate conditions, not obeying the rules will only lead to death."

"Very good, we will try our best to bring in the wildlings." Ryan finally decided. This way, while introducing labor, the number of the final army of wights can also be reduced. "By the way, does the Night's Watch have any objection?"

"They don't know at all." Rose Crystal explained, "After radar was successfully developed, those ships were equipped with radar, which allowed them to avoid the Night's Watch's fleet in Eastwatch. Not to mention that the wildlings' shipbuilding skills were too poor to go to the high seas, so the Night's Watch only patrolled the near seas. Our ships only needed to go around the high seas to avoid them."

"By the way, the dragon eggs are about to hatch, so you should go back and bring them here. After researching with that group of wizards, we all suggest that you should bring the dragon eggs to this world with a higher concentration of magic before hatching. This way, the hatched dragons will have more room to grow." Rose Crystal reminded after finishing her government affairs, and she also took out a batch of magic materials she had recently collected.

"The world of A Song of Ice and Fire can already produce some low- and medium-level magic materials, but the speed of obtaining raw materials through trading, planting and gathering is still a bit slow. As far as I know, their treasure hiding places cannot stop us. Why don't we just rob them directly instead of working hard to build a power from scratch over there, spending so many resources and energy. I know that the warehouses of many forces are full of treasures, and there is even a pile of dragon bones in the cellar of King's Landing."

"You are still too direct. That approach is like slaughtering a sheep and plucking its wool. Once you do it, there is nothing left. I am fattening the sheep and even letting them reproduce. This way I will always have wool to pluck." Ryan taught Rose Crystal seriously.

"I understand." After thinking for a while with her head tilted, Rose Crystal suddenly sat up straight and said with a straight face. "I learned something new today. Thank you, brother."
