through the dark road

Chapter 403
Varenna was not immersed in astonishment and doubts, but quickly sorted out her thinking and language, and clearly proposed three aspects that should be focused on right now.

Food, transportation, and air and waterways are not to be lost.

Although Alcanas' mining industry has been increasing the proportion of the family's overall income, especially after the emergence of wind turbines, the cost of investment has dropped by [-]%, which is an absolute huge profit. The family also took this move to shake the two major competitors The foundation, secure the victory.

But for the sake of subsequent development, at this time, the vast majority of manpower and defense should not be tied to the Gale Land, but should be appropriately transferred to the southern oasis.

Many crops are about to be harvested in this season. If large-scale abandonment occurs due to this accident, or there is an unorganized rush to harvest, it will cause immeasurable waste, and there will be famine by the beginning of the second year at the latest.

Food has always been the top priority of every human stronghold. If there is a famine in Caldeum City, even asking for help from Lu Gaoyin, who has already popularized glass greenhouses, will be far away and difficult to rescue, not to mention causing all kinds of chaos. The consequences are serious and difficult to end.

Mo Bei is aware of this problem, but there is still a long way to go before he realizes it and has a specific solution. After all, he does not understand the actual situation. Get out of Billie, the king of lies hiding behind the scenes, and make a remedy.

Varenna's succinct words put forward a lot of implementable plans, but whether it was to gather idle labor or take over the closed grain workshops, there were a lot of details to deal with, and the workload was huge.

As for maintaining the smooth flow of transportation routes and defense along the air and waterways, the reasons for guarding against food shortages are actually the same, and the three are closely related.

There is a small amount of groundwater near the city of Caldeum, but the ability to realize the freedom of drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people and even use artificial fountains and waterfalls to improve the living environment of the dignitaries is all thanks to the air waterway, so all forces have been working together Guard this lifeline.

But if those big families are all collapsed, there may be very few job changers who are willing to stick to that line of defense. Varenna believes that at this time, a signal should be sent out, indicating that they can accept mercenaries who are willing to serve And guard, but this process is relatively complicated and takes a certain amount of time.

During this time, they must stick to their posts and wait for acceptance.

Mo Bei also agrees with this plan that can temporarily stabilize people's hearts, but having said that, he must take action after sending out the signal, otherwise it will only backfire. This is another lot of things, and it is a headache to think about it.

Varenna spoke out all her thoughts in one breath, and let the few people outside the door have a new understanding of her. It is not just as simple as being a businessman with insight, this woman may have the ability to govern the country.

Conrad waited for her to finish speaking before slowly opening his mouth and asking again:
"Regarding the announcement from the Holy See, what are the plans of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry?"

"What announcement?" Varenna frowned again, with a puzzled look on her face, wondering why it was involved in the Chamber of Commerce and Trade.

Conrad simply picked up a letter with the Zakarum emblem on the table and handed it over.

"This... When did this happen?"

Varenna was shocked, keenly aware of the Holy See's ambitions, and knew that this matter would be difficult.

"Just received it." Conrad told truthfully.

"Two days... the time is too short, and in this situation, it is difficult to find a way to deal with it."

At this moment, Varenna didn't even have time to wonder about her husband's change of attitude, and tried hard to think about the possibility of delay in her mind.

"This is Virgil's complaint to the Holy See, and the Chamber of Commerce and Trade is also involved. Didn't your father tell you?" Conrad continued to ask.

"I haven't seen my father for a while. In fact, I also hope that he can take this opportunity to leave the Chamber of Commerce and Trade."

Mo Bei and the others looked at each other outside the door, wanting Perona to ask what happened, but at this moment, the captain of the guard announced in a low voice at the end of the corridor:
"My lord, Chairman Borg, please see me!"

The captain of the guard saw Mo Bei sticking to the door, obviously eavesdropping, and hesitated for a while before daring to remind them, for fear of offending the adults.

"Cough... Got it. Tell him to wait for a while."

Mo Bei responded, believing Varenna's words again, and now it is certain that she did not come for the Chamber of Commerce and Trade, so he whispered again:

"This is really a woman with a heart for the world..."

Ned nodded approvingly, and gave Mo Bei a look of approval, as if saying:
"Hmm! The wording is accurate!"

Several people subconsciously looked at Erwin again, all of them had scorching eyes, which made his ass tighten.

"Do... what?"

Seeing his dumbfounded expression, several people knew that this guy's proposal to let Varenna take over the family affairs was actually nonsense without thinking, and then looked away in disappointment.

Alvin didn't heave a sigh of relief, but inexplicably felt a sense of being despised, and he couldn't explain clearly, feeling uncomfortable.

In the room, Conrad seemed to think about it before he said:
"The Holy See, I have a way to deal with it. The things you mentioned just now are left to you. I will let Joya fully cooperate."

Varenna's eyes flickered and her expression was complicated. She thought she had figured out the reason for Conrad's change of attitude.

Now the Federation of Commerce and Trade is no longer a threat to the family, and there are indeed many things in the family that need to be worried about, so Conrad is uncharacteristically, and no longer shows a disgusted attitude towards her meddling in the affairs of the family.

Thinking of this, she actually felt a little gloomy, but this might be a good start.

Seeing her nodding, Conrad asked again:
"How many gold coins do you need?"

"You haven't collected the turnover from last month, it's enough for turnover."

"Isn't it enough to buy a workshop?"

"At this time, it is definitely not enough to feed them with gold coins, but we just help them manage the operation and pay a little rent. On the surface, it seems that this is extending the life of their industry, and they will not refuse of."

Mo Bei couldn't understand what he said, but Varenna's tone seemed quite confident, and she seemed confident about how to operate it, so she didn't bother to think about it.

On the other hand, Perona breathed a sigh of relief, it would be best not to take out the money.

The door was opened from the inside, and Varenna came out. When passing by Mo Bei and the others, she stopped again, glanced at them, and asked:
"Which one of you is a bear druid?"

Ok? ? ?
The five of them couldn't help but look at each other again, obviously confused by the situation.

Looking for bear druid again?what's the situation! ?

But looking at Alvin, he looked surprised, and seemed to want to raise his hand to reveal himself immediately:
"It's me, little brother!"

"Why are you asking this?" Conrad asked standing in the room.

"Is it necessary to pretend to be confused? Tabitha is my younger sister, and if you allow your subordinates to humiliate her in public like that, isn't it hurting your own face?" Varenna seemed a little angry.

Alvin put away the look of surprise on his face, and bowed his head in silence.

But Mo Bei and Ned pushed him forward and sold him out. . .

Alvin felt grief and indignation in his heart, but being stared at by Varenna with cold eyes, he still opened his mouth to defend:

"I don't know if you have heard that some druids will have a second personality after transformation."
