Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Zhuo Ge used the simplest language to introduce what express delivery is to these dragons who had only just completed prenatal education.

"Delivering something to a certain place according to the client's instructions is your job in the future."

The sitting dragons looked curious, this sounded like an easy job.

They are used to running around.

Life makes a dragon.

Drogo went on to explain exactly what they did.

"Since it's express delivery, it would be too slow and costly to deliver one item at a time, so we need to put together a batch of orders between the two locations and then deliver them together. This will reduce costs and greatly improve efficiency. You will be responsible for delivering the bulk express to the destination."

With Dragon Express, there is actually hope that Dragon Beast freight can get running.

There were two problems when testing whether the dragon beast could pull goods.

If you fly long distances, you need magic power and you can't carry too much. Now there is a new way of movement. Although the intelligence of dragon beasts is not optimistic, they should be able to learn it after a long period of training.

Secondly, dragon beasts are not easy to control, but if they are led by real dragons, it will not be difficult at all.

Drakes will default to purebred dragons as their leaders, even though the dragons do not consider them to be their own kind.

A sad story of licking but not getting.

If there are not enough dragons, one dragon can lead several dragon beasts to form a "caravan".

Of course, the last step of completing the express delivery route and delivering it to the buyer still needs to be completed by other intelligent races.

It is still unrealistic to let dragons run around the streets and alleys of the city delivering express parcels.

“And your salary…”

Before Drogo could finish his words, a dragon raised its claws.

"explain."

"What is salary?"

"It's what you get after you finish your work. You can't work for nothing. It will be paid in the form of money. Specifically, it will be gold, silver and copper coins."

Coins have undergone an important transformation, from being made of real gold, silver and copper to being made of cheap metal materials in name only.

This is thanks to the Roman Empire that once swept across the continent.

Although the people of Felin have little favorable impression of the once powerful empire, it did make some important contributions.

A common language and the gold standard were developed, and from then on rare metals were no longer used directly to make currency.

However, the weights and measures were not unified by Roman. This was thanks to the Institute. Early scientists were really fed up with the messy measurement system, so they set a standard. From then on, all published content had to comply with this standard. It was soon recognized by royal families of various countries and was implemented.

In short, because the gold coins are not real "gold" coins, Drogo is the only one among the dragon clan who likes to hoard money.

The other dragons were not yet convinced of the new money made of scrap metal.

Good thing for Drogo.

After these dragons receive the money, in addition to buying food, they will definitely use the remaining money to buy things they really like, such as gems, precious metals, magic props, works of art, etc.

There is absolutely no saving habit.

Good habit!
Only by letting money circulate can the economy be better.

Among the dragons who like to be Tun Tun rats, Drogo is enough.

"How much is your salary? It will be settled once a month based on the mileage and quantity of your deliveries. The specific settlement details will be sent to you."

The white dragon immediately raised its claws, "I don't understand!"

"You don't have to calculate. I'll give it to you after I calculate it. Don't worry, it will definitely be enough for you to buy food."

Then Zhuogo introduced other benefits, such as minimum workload, fixed holidays, year-end bonuses, free physical examinations and so on.

Let’s talk about it first, whether they can understand it or not. The main thing is to highlight the feeling that there are many benefits.

And in fact, there are quite a few.

"Before you officially start working, you need to familiarize yourself with the route first."

There is no navigation in this era, and satellites are still too far away.

In the initial stage of express delivery, Drogo planned to open only a route to the North, Waterdeep, Royal City, and the Twin Towers, running from north to south through the entire Sutton.

Because there is limited transportation capacity, and if you want to shop online you must have a mobile phone. The mobile phone penetration rate in these cities is high, and the average income is also high, which provides the basic conditions for the development of online shopping.

However, even if the express delivery business is only carried out in these four regions, the current number of dragons is still a bit small.

"It will take some time for the express delivery service to officially start. During this time, there is another job. Didn't you say before that you have come into contact with other dragon groups and know the locations of many dragons?"

"Yes." The green dragon nodded.

"Then I need you to find these dragons, or provide their locations. We welcome every dragon to become a glorious Dragon Express employee."

If every new dragon that joins knows the locations of several other dragon groups, sooner or later Drogo will be able to contact dragons all over the continent.

It is not known exactly how many there are. Ever since the fall of the dragon kingdom, the dragon clan has been in a scattered state, and there has been no dragon population census or anything like that.

The best case scenario, of course, is that there are enough existing dragons for him to build a freight network across the entire continent.

Hearing Drogo say this, the green dragon was very excited and looked at Drogo with admiration in his eyes.

In his opinion, Drogo must unite the entire dragon clan!

It has been too long, and finally a powerful ancient dragon stood up to restore the dragon clan's former glory.

As a young dragon, all his knowledge of the dragon clan’s powerful past comes from legends.

The war thousands of years ago caused serious cultural discontinuities for many ethnic groups.

Some have redeveloped, while others have completely fallen into negativity. The dragon clan obviously belongs to the latter.

Legend has it that at that time the dragon clan had their own kingdom, instead of being scattered in the wild or hiding in settlements of other races.

Despite their strong individual strength, they do not have strong overall strength.

Nowadays, even the advantages of individual strength are no longer prominent.

And at this most critical moment, a powerful ancient dragon chose to stand up.

That's great, Drogo!
Drogo, who was repeating various precautions, always felt that the green dragon was looking at him strangely.

What do you mean?
What's with that tearful expression?

Is it necessary to be so excited about delivering a package? Or is it because you think the treatment is too poor?

No, he paid quite generously. Driving long distance is a torturous job, and if you earn so little, there is no point in doing it.

It took about ten minutes for Drogo to finish his speech.

"Okay, any other questions? If not, then disband and go pick your own nest."

There is still a lot to do if you want to build your first online shopping platform.

First of all, there is no platform and the website is under construction.

Merchants don’t have it either. Except for Drogo’s official store, which has the ability to open online channels immediately, other merchants have to be trained first and learn how to sell things online.

The online payment method has not yet been finalized.

The good news is that there is no need to start by building a bank. Thanks to the commercial prosperity brought about by industrial development, Felin's banking industry has already developed to a considerable scale.

Services such as deposits and loans are very mature, you just need to cooperate with them.

Drogo decided to go to the bank next, believing that given the greed of bankers, it would be easy to reach a deal.

At this time, a dragon suddenly asked: "How can we ensure safety when delivering goods?"

"Don't worry, your safety will be guaranteed." Drogo answered with certainty.

He thought about the safety of the cargo dragons for a long time last night.

Dragons are simply mobile libraries of rare spellcasting materials.

It's basically like a living gold coin. The temptation is too great.

If there is only one route from north to south, security can be maintained through force.

But once the entire transportation network is rolled out, it will not be possible to have so much manpower and material resources.

This problem can only be solved from the source, that is, making the parts of the dragon no longer precious.

Without value there is no trade, and without trade there is naturally no killing.

In fact, due to the discovery of inscriptions, the demand for various rare spellcasting materials by mages is decreasing.

In the past, various materials were needed to assist in casting spells, which was essentially due to a lack of thorough understanding of the principles of spells. As the study of magic became more in-depth, top wizards realized that using spellcasting materials was actually a shortcut that reduced the final effect.

With continued development, the mage will definitely be free from dependence on materials.

But this will take time.

Before this, Drogo thought of a roundabout way to save the dragon.

Use enchantment to destroy the dragon's role in the spellcasting process without affecting the dragon itself.

The idea is the same as if animal protectors saw off the rhinoceros' horns, so that there will be no poachers to kill the rhinos.

It’s just that Drogo’s pursuit is more perfect, and it would be best if he didn’t cause any substantial harm to the dragon.

The black dragon that stayed in the Shenzhen Research Institute is cooperating with the team to solve this problem.

The project is currently progressing smoothly.

In addition to using dragons as materials, there is another type of demand.

If it is acceptable to use it as material, then this kind of demand is hard to understand.

Things like dragon scales bring good luck, dragon bones ward off evil, dragon blood strengthens male sexual function, etc.

It’s ridiculous if you just think about it.

If dragon scales and dragon bones were really useful, dragons wouldn't have ended up like this today, preparing to switch careers from being representatives of powerful creatures to becoming couriers.

As for dragon blood's ability to strengthen sexual function, there is no theoretical support for this. It is better to do two more sets of Kegel exercises.

Yet there are people who believe it.

In order to solve this problem, Drogo, as a local lord and super taxpayer, plans to promote legislation.

Dragons should be regarded as intelligent creatures, and according to the laws of most places in Felin, it is not allowed to kill intelligent creatures at will.

Legal support alone is not enough. Driven by sufficient interests, there will be many fanatics who ignore the law.

In response to this, Drogo intends to use force to deter anyone who dares to harm Drogo Group's courier dragon will be doubly retaliated against.

At the same time, they also need to find the world's largest gray organization, the Adventurer's Guild, and ask the guild to stop issuing dragon hunting missions, at least not to issue missions to hunt dragons of Drogo Group employees.

As a platform for adventurers, the Adventurer's Guild has never paid much attention to the law.

For example, private vendettas are expressly prohibited, but revenge commissions are common in guilds.

According to the guild, they only issue commissions. If there is any suspected violation of the law, it is the business of the client and the adventurer who accepts the commission, and has nothing to do with the guild.

Very tough.

But it does not mean that conditions cannot be negotiated. After all, guild managers also need to eat.

A large guild like this might have been established out of some lofty ideals in the beginning, but as it develops, it will always turn into a greedy community of interests.

Therefore, Drogo decided to go to the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild to negotiate terms with those "adventurers" who would not go on adventures themselves.

The Adventurer's Guild's headquarters is in the Royal City, and the headquarters of several major banks are also in the Royal City.

In order to make online shopping a reality, Drogo came to the royal city again after a long time.

It seems that nothing has changed here, but beneath the extravagance and decadence there is a growing decay.

Drogo doesn't like this city, but it doesn't matter, he came here to discuss business, and he will leave after the discussion...

---------

Sutton Palace.

The eldest prince walked quickly through the magnificent corridor and came to a heavy door.

On both sides of the door are fully armed guards, wearing enchanted armor and weapons, showing their absolutely elite status.

This is the bedroom of the King of Sutton, and he has not left this room for nearly a month.

It won't be long before the King of Sutton rests here.

Everyone in the palace understood this.

The eldest prince felt depressed about the reality that his father was about to die.

I'm frustrated as to why this old guy is still clinging on.

He's had enough.

As the legal heir to the Kingdom of Sutton, he still had some respect for his father.

After all, he inherited the old man's throne.

But recently there have been rumors in the palace that this old man wants to change the successor.

His confidant beside his father said that the old man began to reconsider the decision to exile Figosin to the north.

What they said is that the country should be handed over to the most suitable person.

And Figesin’s actions in the North were praised by citizens across the country, so perhaps she was a more suitable candidate.

fart!

What's suitable about that wild and low-class girl?

He must be old and confused, and when he is about to die, he wants to make up for what he owed to his daughter.

If you want to make up for it, just make up for it. Why should you use his throne to make up for it?

The eldest prince wished that the old man would die immediately so that the will could no longer be modified.

He was the King of Sutton by right and with good reason.

It would obviously be better for everyone if he died earlier, but now everything is heading in an undignified direction, and he has to throw dirty water on Figgins.

If there is any "stain" on Figosin, it must be his relationship with the Drogo Group.

Too close.

Is she the Princess of Sutton, or is she going to sell her ancestors’ country to a red dragon?

After passing through layers of inspection, the prince entered the bedroom.

Apart from the guards, the most common people here are doctors and priests.

"How is father doing?" the prince asked with pretended concern.

"Your Highness, the King's health is improving, and he is awake longer and longer every day."

"That's great." The prince acted very surprised.

For those who grew up in the royal family, performing has become an instinct.

In fact, I was already thinking about even more indecent things.

When he reached the bed, the situation was worse than he had imagined.

The old man was not only awake, but could also lie half-lying in bed.

The first few times I came, I could only lie flat and motionless.

"Father," the prince said respectfully, "Drogo has come to the capital again and has contacted the presidents of all the major banks. I am very worried." (End of this chapter)
