MC's career as foreign lord

"Do it! Why wouldn't we do this business?" Zhou Ren said, after studying forestry for a day without figuring out the current situation. He had to find a few people to accompany him in the research.

Halfway through the research, Hsia mentioned this matter.

It's actually a bit funny. Both the territory and the Elven race actually have great feuds with the Beastmen. This hatred comes more directly from the conflicts between the Beastmen and these regions. Of course, the grudges between the Elves over tens of thousands of years cannot be resolved.

But after their territory provoked conflicts with the Beastmen and refused entry to any Beastmen trade caravans, unexpectedly, these seemingly crude fellows were willing to sacrifice a little dignity and cooperate with the Elves. It's really a bit unimaginable.

"Where is there any truly unforgettable hatred between countries and races? It's just about interests and profits!" Zhou Ren said, incidentally telling the Elven Princess what he had just said.

"They've even found your Elven trade caravans through various channels. Being able to spend such a price shows that they themselves have very high expectations, right?"

Hsia tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded. That was indeed the case. "In that case, even if the Elven race disagrees, they will go to the humans, the dwarves, the halflings, to find anyone who can cooperate with you!"

"That's the principle. We can't stop all their trading. If we really had that ability, why would we be doing these things? We'd just rule the continent!"

Zhou Ren said, "So, when you encounter this kind of situation, don't hesitate, just accept it! Once they're in our hands, what do we want to do? Isn't it up to us?"

His face wasn't gloomy, but it was a bit dangerous. He smiled softly, "Let's just do it this way for now. Ask them whatever price they want for things. I'm not afraid they can't buy it, I'm only afraid they can't afford it!"

The financial gap required for the entire plan is extremely terrifying. If the Beastmen are willing to be such fools, he might as well throw a few good things to let them taste. Except for some core things that cannot be thrown out, those things that can be produced arbitrarily and will not affect the balance of war can be thrown to the other party in large quantities.

He wanted to see what methods this country, already famous for plundering, would choose when faced with so many good things and then discovering that their wealth was insufficient.

"Remember to either withdraw those few towns near the Giant Strength Beastmen Kingdom or send heavy troops to guard them. Otherwise, if they are robbed, I won't be responsible!" Zhou Ren said, his expression unchanged, but he still didn't smile.

If he guessed correctly, after the Beastmen touched their first treasure, they would not be able to resist investing heavily and increasing their purchasing power. And once they fall into this consumer trap, the reality he has set is not far away.

Moreover, if they need to buy this kind of thing, they must recognize one fact, that is, the emergence of their new currency. Besides, he may not need to use economic means to sanction them. If the Beastmen can't come up with money and can't grab things, wouldn't it be great to directly choose to exchange goods with them?

"Hsia, you can promote various grassland products and crops among the Elven race, preferably those that are not very expensive, but are relatively scarce on the grasslands, and make them into various luxury goods or clothes for sale!"

Zhou Ren said.

His statement aroused the Elven Princess's incomprehension, "What's the benefit of doing this? Wouldn't it make the Beastmen's economy develop? The main reason we can suppress social assistance is to suppress their economy, so they don't have much power to fight us!"

Zhou Ren shook his head, "Only a wealthy country will have a decline in the combat effectiveness of its army. What's more, they are a grassland civilization, not a land civilization. They have no way to build cities and can only roam on the grassland!"

"What if we give them something to support their economy, such as cattle and sheep, such as various grassland crops, or such as… population or faith?"

Many countries in his previous life were playing this game, so he spoke eloquently, "When they have something that can support the wealth of their country, they will inevitably not give it up, no matter how huge the trap is, it is better than now!"

"But that is not a centralized country. The Beastmen nobles will not be of one mind with their leadership. After seeing the benefits, they will expand production at all costs, even if they deprive all the pastures of those herdsmen, even if they make everyone go to graze or plant!"

His smile became more and more evil, "As long as this is the case, their soldiers who are good at fighting will become farmers who only know how to cultivate in the fields, and their packs of wolves who are good at running will become sheepdogs who only know how to drive sheep!"

They will reap greater wealth, reap greater money, and pursue greater desires. They will raise their status higher and even want to build cities on the grassland.

"They will lose their courage, only thinking about enjoying themselves, chasing money but not chasing power. When that time comes, we can simply harvest!"

His words were very plain, but the things he said made people silent. Everyone may not understand these things if they are not said, but once they are said, the lethality is enough to make them feel amazing.

"I would like to call this theory 'Sheep Eat People'!" Zhou Ren said, "Actually, it is a simple harvesting theory. We use more high-end materials to harvest their raw materials. We harvest with better products. We are only harvesting a part of the people, but we have to make their entire race pay for it!

"People with foresight will regard us as enemies, but short-sighted people will regard us as heroes!" Zhou Ren said with a smile, "You might as well choose some people to make friends with those Beastmen nobles and have some friendly exchanges!"

"After all, making money is for the entire Elven race, it's not embarrassing!" The smile on his face was as warm as the spring sun, but the meaning in his words was as cold as the winter sky.

"Hsia, you are going to be the Empress in the future. If possible, after this plan is successfully implemented, you will be able to truly turn the entire Beastmen race into a vassal of the Elves during your term!"

"You don't need to turn them into slaves, that's the most stupid thing. You have to give them equal rights, give them the obligation to compete freely, and make them feel that everything they have is caused by those high-level people, and has nothing to do with the kind Elves!"

Zhou Ren said that this time he had really studied everything thoroughly, dissecting it layer by layer. Speaking of it, he only felt a chilling cold, despite it being a hot day.

The cold wind was biting and piercingly decisive. The youth smiled as he spoke of his plan, but it made all the orcs feel as if they were shrouded in a shadow.

And in that distant sky, in a certain neutral world, a cyclops slowly opened its eyes. "Someone wants to attack the orcs? Have they asked for my opinion?"

Unfortunately, just as he was about to step out of the world, he saw a blocky figure descending from the sky, standing in front of his world.

It was a figure that seemed to occupy most of its body in the void. The entire body had no gaps, but the expression on its face was still dull.

And opposite this blocky giant stood a person whom all the gods dared not speak loudly to, the creator of the world, the God of Gods, AO!

Gruumsh, though unwilling, did not dare to run out at this time. Those who had been disrespectful to the God of Gods in the past did not even have a place in the Astral Sepulcher now. Even a temperamental fellow like him could only temporarily suppress his nature.

The confrontation in this void was very interesting. Neither of them spoke, nor did they make any movements. Just watching each other made one feel as if there was endless bloodshed in the air.

On the other side, Corellon, who had also opened his eyes, suddenly closed them again. "If my world had such an existence back then, we wouldn't have had to struggle so much!"

He watched on. The relationship between the elves and the orcs was already like fire and water. If Gruumsh suddenly interfered and caused trouble, and he didn't react in time, the elves below would suffer.

After all, the Orc God never talked about morality or justice, nor would he notify you. His sudden intervention was just like the Orc race itself, relying on their earth-shattering barbarity.

It was precisely because of this that all races were wary of the Orcs, but they would not truly go to war with them, because these brutes really couldn't do anything too big. They would only encroach on some borders, and after maintaining their own survival, they would mostly fight for power and profit in their own grasslands.

"Consider yourself lucky this time, or else you wouldn't even be able to keep your other eye!"

Along with Corellon, the Goddess of Wealth also opened her eyes, having not fallen asleep again since waking up two months ago.

She was currently a guest in Lathander's palace, and in this palace, there was actually a very beautiful and powerful goddess.

"I didn't expect Sister to be willing to come out again in this era!" she said, looking at the woman sitting beside Lathander, who could even sit on equal footing with the King of the Gods of Justice.

"She could have come out a long time ago, but she has always been unwilling to hide quietly here with me!" Lathander said. This God of Light was also very helpless. The status of this female deity next to him was almost the same as his.

Or rather, it could be said that the dawn once belonged to the ancient sun god Amaunator.

Lathander, the God of the Dawn, was once a god under Amaunator's command. However, during the time when the ancient sun god fell, Lathander did not crash in the dawn himself, but truly struggled to come out, becoming the leader of the Gods of Justice, while also preserving the mantle of the ancient sun god.

It had once been said that the gods in this world would almost never be completely annihilated. As long as someone remembered them, they would inevitably be resurrected. Moreover, these ancient gods, unless they truly wanted to fall, even a woman like the Goddess of Magic, who had lost her position time and time again, could still return?

That's right, this woman standing beside Lathander, not saying a word, was actually the ancient sun god, one of the most ancient gods in all of Faerûn. Even Jergal, the God of Death, was very respectful of this giant god.

However, this god was once the patron saint of the Netherese Empire in ancient times, and was also the only god truly recognized by that magical empire.

During the cataclysm of the magical empire, most of the mage kingdoms crashed, and this god, due to the lack of believers, had to fall into a deep sleep.

"My Mechanical World's divine kingdom is still being repaired. It will probably take another 2,000 years to repair!" Amaunator said. This graceful lady didn't seem to care at all about being a guest in someone else's home.

"Little Dawn was someone I watched grow up, and now he has become the leader of the Gods of Justice. Time really flies!"

"If you want to return, you can come to this position at any time!" Lathander said. He had always respected this ancient sun god as a mother. After all, he was a ray of dawn at the time, while the other party was the light that illuminated the sky.

"Forget it, you little guy just wants to push me to the front to fight Jergal to the death!" she laughed. "Now, even that guy who likes to cause trouble the most has become someone else's scribe. After tens of thousands of years of silence, I'll run out again, let him once again gather the three great positions of the God of Death, and then return to the God of Gods again?"

This goddess seemed to be very clear about the world's affairs. She looked at the sky, "Now even His Majesty the God of Gods has returned, why don't you quickly find a place to stay and behave yourselves? Bouncing around in front of him, do you think you're not dying fast enough?"

She continued, "Waukeen, the young man you invested in is the person from that blocky world above, right?"

"Yes!" Waukeen nodded. "The situation in the world is unclear now, and it's not easy for us to reach out and bet. Has this Supreme Majesty come here to take that young man back?"

Several people shook their heads. The two Supreme beings obviously had no intention of fighting, otherwise they wouldn't be confronting each other here. They seemed to be talking about something, but the chips between them were not ready yet.

"The affairs of the Supreme are irrelevant to us. Just make sure they don't harm this world!" Lathander said. "So, where do you want to go now?"

"Let me stay here for a while longer, maybe I can go to the Prime Material Plane and take a look!" Amaunator said softly, the sunlight on her body flickering, and even the sun in the sky seemed to shine a little brighter.
