Chapter 225 Primitive Accumulation of Capital

The meeting was held on the ship, using the familiar round table system.

Windlow, Mousse, and Izexi each represented a voice.

One focuses on the starting point of interests, one focuses on the amount of force required for success, and the last one considers the political impact before and after the execution.

But today, there is a new person, Featherin.

She just leaned against the door and did not directly participate in the discussion between Wendlow and his group.

After all, in her eyes, communicating with a slave race like humans is a shame, and communicating with an enemy like the high elves is useless.

But the purpose of the three people's meeting was to raise funds to complete the task assigned by the Witch King Malekith, so it was not easy for her to just leave.

A lot of useful information can be heard from the meeting.

Windlow wanted to establish an empire and a commercial route between Bretonnia and Ulthuan.

Import grain from Bretonnia and sell it to the Empire, then import clothes and fabrics from the Empire and sell them to Ulthuan, and finally buy elven jewelry from Ulthuan and sell it to Bretonnia.

A voyage takes about 2 months and can bring a profit of 1000 gold coins.

However, the army costs money, and material supplies cost money. The net profit that can be obtained is only a little over 400 gold coins. This rate of return has reached an astonishing 40%, which is considered the fastest means.

If it were in the past, Mousse and Wendlow would definitely be very happy.

There were only two of them in the caravan at that time. If they could earn 100 gold coins every month, each party would get 50 gold coins. They could do business during the day and rest at night, which could be considered a comfortable life.

But now there are more people to feed, and the entire expedition team depends on making a profit, leaving the two of them with much less leisure time.

Even Mousse missed the time when he first met Windlow and the two of them walked on small-scale trade between Altdorf and Nuln.

With just a backpack of goods, he was a simple traveling merchant, and after spending all the money he earned, he was left with only a few copper coins.

Those days are really nostalgic, but now, the elves' disputes, team operations, and other things make Mousse feel very tired.

After calculating all the data, Ize Xi came to a very bad conclusion.

In order to complete the plan of rebuilding the Kingdom of Nagarythe, the money had to be raised within three months, and ordinary merchants simply had no way of earning so much gold coins.

"Hey, hey, your way of making money is too poor compared to ours, Drucci."

Featherin finally opened her mouth. As the eyes and ears of the Witch King, she had to do something for the entire team in this situation.

After all, rebuilding the Kingdom of Nagarythe is also her mission.

"Mouse, have you forgotten our Duruchi tradition? When have we ever been involved in production and creation?"

Feslin's words woke the dreamer up. Yes, the dark elves have the fastest way to make money in the whole world, and that is plundering.

What could make more money than robbery?

The dark elves were very good at this. Almost all of them were soldiers, using absolute force to oppress their slaves.

Slaves continued to produce and create wealth for the Dark Elves. At the same time, the Dark Elves would also drive black arks on the sea to plunder various caravans and attack various ports.

Wendlow immediately recalled a word from his memory.

"Yes, primitive capital accumulation is bloody and cruel. You can't make money by imitating the living and living of the rich second generation. You can only make money by imitating the plunder and killing of the rich first generation."

And it seems that Windlow can use this bloody accumulation freely without any instruction.

The first step was naturally to separate the civilians' means of production from their productivity. He didn't have to do this, as Bretonnia had already been doing it for more than a thousand years.

The serfs on this land had no ownership of the land. They were slaves bound to the land and could only provide productivity.

The means of production, land, was firmly in the hands of the knights, and the intense oppression brought about the most obvious situation.

That is, Bretonnia has some of the best sailors in the entire Old World.

When the serfs found that they could not obtain their own wealth from the fields, and at the same time they would be stabbed to death by the knights if they escaped or emigrated.

So they chose another path. The serfs along the coast chose to board ships, and through constant changes, they became very powerful sailors in the old world.

Now Windlow only needs to raise his arms and shout that he needs sailors, and a large number of serfs will board the ship while the knight is away.

A large amount of cheap labor is the most basic thing to achieve primitive accumulation.

Mousse knew what to do about this, so he picked up a bag of copper coins and walked out of the meeting room on the ship.

The former Lord of Dread certainly knew how to control and restrain slaves, including serfs, and he could do it with a little bit of profit.

Next comes the most important stage of primitive accumulation of capital.

"Feiserin, how did you, the Duruchi, go out to sea to plunder?"

"Ha, I know why Mousse would listen to your advice. You are very smart."

When it comes to plundering and slave trade, Featherin naturally knows a lot. As a sorceress, she has cooperated with many people, including slave owners and the Black Ark Admiral.

He even had experience working under the pirate Roxia the Fallenheart, so he was naturally very skilled in these things.

"I know how to find shipwrecks at sea, how to catch up with merchant ships, and how to rob other pirates. As a prerequisite for cooperation, I need a share of my income."

All dark elves are the same, they are powerful, but they must have a vested interest in the relationship, and when it comes to profit sharing, they will never be satisfied with a fixed salary, but rather hope for a percentage of income.

"After each robbery, I will take 3% of the looted materials as a reward. If you rob 100 gold coins, I will take 3 of them, and the rest will be divided among you."

The words sounded innocent enough, but Windlow noticed the lack of additional conditions.

"Okay, as long as the robbery is completed with your intelligence and information, I will give you 3% of the reward as a share."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Featherin's lips. She needed to make more money, and then she could do a better job of dealing with Mousse.

He immediately stopped leaning against the wall, and his whole body became energetic instantly.

"Then I have to help Mousse recruit crew members and soldiers. The sooner we go out to sea, the more gold coins we can earn."

Then the whole person turned into a ball of smoke and blew away outside.

"It is very dangerous to cooperate with Drucci."

With only Windlow and Izeshi left in the meeting room, the Hoss magician naturally expressed his concerns.

"Druchi is not trustworthy, especially when there are two more Duruchi in our team."
