"Knights are also producers? What do we produce?"

The Holy Grail Knight, having drunk the Holy Grail water, gained great rational support and will never suffer an emotional breakdown.

But in the face of Windlow's statement, the expression on the Holy Grail Knight's face was obviously unable to hold back.

However, such a question can be accurately answered with just one word.

"Violence."

Serfs produced the means of subsistence, while knights produced violence.

Where there is production, there must be consumption. If there is only production but no consumption, the economy will collapse at an unimaginable speed.

Due to the portability of violence as a commodity, it does not require warehouses or pockets. It can be produced at any time as long as the producers are in place.

Of course, Windlow spends money to buy the violence produced by the chivalrous knights, but after obtaining so much violence, how should he consume it?

Well, that is what the Beastmen should be concerned about. By absorbing the Chivalrous Knights, the Beastmen of the entire Ostland will begin to consume the violence produced by the Knights.

Although Beastmen may be reluctant to consume violence, there are many ways to make them consume it.

After the beastmen consume the violence produced by the chivalrous knights, the chivalrous knights of course also need to consume.

Even the Knight of the Holy Grail, who never gets tired, stays young forever, never gets sick and recovers quickly, needs to make purchases.

After the chivalrous knights arrived, inns, restaurants, grooms and blacksmiths had business.

Due to the noble attributes of the knights, they demand a lot of consumption, which will greatly drive the development of the entire town.

After receiving the bounty from Windlow, the knights couldn't just ride back to Bretonnia to spend it.

Although the environment in Oster Territory is harsh and there are few resources, the knights cannot spend their money elsewhere, so they can only spend it locally.

Consumption drives production.

Knights needed accommodation, which led to the development of inns. Inns needed beds, which led to the development of carpenters. Even some unemployed girls could come and have in-depth exchanges on chivalry.

Knights need to drink and eat, which naturally drives the development of the food industry and the beverage industry. The food industry and the beverage industry in turn drive the development of the grain industry. Fields that no one wanted to cultivate originally will definitely be cultivated by someone once there is money to be made.

The knights need to repair their equipment, which will definitely drive the development of blacksmiths and even attract dwarf blacksmiths to open shops here. These foreign dwarves will further promote economic development.

Next is the financial industry. Some knights do not have equipment but want to earn bounties. They can purchase equipment through micro loans and use the bounties to pay interest after completing the task of killing beastmen.

Of course, there are some people who were killed by beastmen due to their lack of skills, but this bad debt rate is completely within an acceptable range, and the credit of the knight group is very high.

In this way, the economy of the town was revitalized, and in the continuous production, additional surplus value would inevitably be generated, and this was what Windlow himself wanted to earn.

Of course, Windlow can use his influence to build these inns, farms, blacksmith shops and the like.

However, Windlow naturally could not take into account all the questions, such as how many hotels should be built, how many beds should be in a hotel, and how big each bed should be.

There are too many things to do and he certainly cannot manage them all by himself, but once consumption and production are introduced, an invisible big hand will appear to assist him in completing all the necessary work.

In the continuous process of production and consumption, more surplus value will naturally be generated.

The market will automatically adjust demand without the need for much management and control.

Everyone tries to obtain the greatest value for the products of his capital.

This capital may come from one's own savings, one's own wages, or borrowing.

Generally speaking, people do not take the initiative to create public welfare, nor do they make contributions in vain. What they pursue are only their own personal interests and benefits.

But when people try to produce goods of greater value, an invisible hand will guide them to achieve another goal.

Because people are wholeheartedly pursuing their own interests, they are bound to inadvertently promote social interests, and the effect is greater than when they really want to promote social benefits.

This also partly explains why some provinces in the empire were rich and some were poor.

Provinces with more supervision will not necessarily develop well, but provinces with less supervision will definitely not develop much worse.

A special example is naturally Marius Redolf ​​of Ivy. That guy doesn't care about the economy and taxation in the territory at all. He just controls the military power to deal with the threat of Blackfire Pass.

This is also one of the reasons why Ivyland is very wealthy.

The Holy Grail Knight and Mousse were completely confused by these theories. The only thing they knew was that this place could serve as a reception area for chivalrous knights and they could find jobs here.

The Grail Knight hastened to grasp Windlow's hand, thanking him for the valuable delay that prevented the inevitable civil war in Bretonnia.

For this reason, he naturally patted his chest and expressed his willingness to do a few things for Wendlow.

As long as it doesn't go against chivalry and the will of the goddess, it's fine. In fact, it doesn't matter if it goes against chivalry and the will of the goddess, just don't let outsiders know.

The Holy Grail Knight is the most powerful fighting force in the entire Old World, and now this extremely powerful being will obey Windlow's command.

How to maximize profits is what Windlow is best at.

Leaving Mousse behind to deal with any possible threats, Windlow rode on the unicorn and headed for the capital of the northern province of Ostland with the Holy Grail Knight.

Wolfenburg, the capital city of Ostland, is also the seat of Elector Vamir von Laukoff.

Even though Windlow was riding a unicorn, he was still out of breath after riding continuously for a long time, and he was not as good as the Holy Grail Knight who did not even breathe.

Although people in the empire were not particularly familiar with the reputation of the Holy Grail Knights, when the guards saw the Holy Grail and dragon patterns on the Holy Grail Knights' badges, they immediately went to inform the Elector.

After hearing about the arrival of a Holy Grail Knight, Vamil von Laukov naturally gave him enough face and came out to greet him in person, and even brought his own Bull Knights to line up on both sides.

"You are actually a Holy Grail Knight! What brings you to the land of Ostland? Welcome, welcome."

After receiving such a warm welcome, the Holy Grail Knight did not show any emotional fluctuations.

"Long story short, do you have any problems that need to be dealt with here, or monsters that are difficult to kill?"
