Chapter 383 Teaching the Kids (Bonus Chapter for Reaching 2 Bookshelves)
Just as Dong Songlin was about to speak, one of the bear clan guards stood up and saluted.
"Hello, Holy Consort Xiyue. Although I am a captain of the guards under the Second Prince, I am here on behalf of the Bear Clan."
"Our Bear Clan will never support any other beastmen from the Snow Rabbit Tribe to become the Beast King."
"Therefore, the Snow Rabbit Tribe's claims against our Bear Clan are utter nonsense! We absolutely support Prince Xiaweier becoming the new Beast King."
“Now that Xiaweier has awakened and is unharmed, we will certainly support him wholeheartedly.”
The elder of the Black Dog Tribe chuckled immediately: "So, when Xiaweier Beast Husband was still asleep, your Bear Tribe didn't support Xiaweier Beast Husband?"
Although the bear-clan guard was tall and imposing, he was not good at subtle tactics and pointed directly at the elder of the Black Dog Tribe: "Do you dare say that you made a statement when Xia Weier was still unconscious?"
The elder of the Black Dog tribe choked for a moment, but still smiled and said, "We haven't made a statement, but we haven't contacted the Snow Rabbit tribe either. What the Snow Rabbit tribe said about our Black Dog tribe was indeed slander. But as for your Bear tribe, it's hard to say."
"You're spouting nonsense! You're slandering me!" The bear clan guard immediately became agitated.
Seeing that he was about to go over and attack the Black Dog Tribe, Ruan Xiyue quickly stood up, pressed her hand down, and said, "Everyone, stop arguing."
"Since the Witch Hospital and the Priest's House have already expressed their opinions, I will also express my opinion today regarding the Witch Hospital branch and the Priest's House branch in Hope Beast City."
Sitting next to Ruan Xiyue, Luo Yurou immediately took out a carving knife and began to record on the animal skin scroll.
"First of all, of the tuition fees received by the Witch Hospital branch and the Priest Academy branch, 70% will be used by Hope Beast City for the construction of the academy, and 30% will be used by the Witch Hospital and the Priest Academy. Neither party has any objection, so I will not go into details."
"However, for any additional research projects conducted by the Witch Doctor's Hospital branch and the Priest's Hospital branch, as long as they are approved by the Hope Beast City Elders' Council, the research funding will be fully borne by Hope Beast City."
"The expenses of all high healers and high priests during their teaching in Hope Beast City will also be fully paid by Hope Beast City."
"However, the results of the research also belong to Hope Beast City. Of the profits from the sale of the manufactured items, Hope Beast City takes 70%, while the Witch Doctor's Hospital and the Priest's Academy take 30%."
"Do the Witch Doctors' Hospital and the Priests' Court have any objections to this?"
Ruan Xiyue looked at the elders of the Witch Doctor's Hospital and the priest's academy.
All the orcs were stunned. In the past, the Witch Doctors and Priests would research new medicines and runestones on their own, and if they could sell them, all the profits would go to the Witch Doctors and Priests.
However, as everyone knows, all the funding for the research was provided by the witch hospital and the priesthood themselves.
What Ruan Xiyue, the Holy Mother, meant was that all expenses for the high priests and high healers attending classes at the branch academy would be paid by Hope Beast City. Research funding would also be covered by Hope Beast City.
They've achieved results, and they're giving away 30% to the Witch Doctors' Hospital and the Priests' Hospital for free?
What kind of living beast god is this?
For a moment, the parliament hall was eerily quiet, followed by whispers and murmurs.
They have been living in Hope Beast City for quite some time and have learned a lot about it.
They taught the surrounding tribes the techniques for free, and personally guided them on how to raise sheep, cultivate millet and highly nutritious vegetables. They also taught them how to grow hemp, process it, and spin it…
They had been skeptical before.
After all, these are all ways to make money. If we teach them, how will Beast City make money?
I hope Beast City has healing water, but they don't sell it!
The orcs were greatly shocked and utterly bewildered.
Ruan Xiyue smiled without saying a word; all they saw was the generosity of Hope Beast City.
There's absolutely no sign of Hope Beast City's money-making philosophy!
Thinking back to her previous life in Harbin, a city known for its warm, thoughtful, and affordable services, did they lose out?
Their GDP figures are so impressive that they leave northern cities far behind, not even close to being up to par!
Let's not even talk about the past life, which is so far away. Just last year, before the beast tide season, at the matchmaking event held in Hope Beast City, only a few tribes from the surrounding areas came.
Sweaters, scarves, linen, ready-made garments, cooking seasonings, low-energy fruits...
Hopefully, Beast City didn't collect beast cores like other Beast Cities, but these orcs went back and almost all of them spent all their beast cores.
Hopefully, in just a few days, Beast City will net tens of thousands of red-tier beast cores.
They also have glass, paper, porcelain, and high-end wooden carts... none of which have been launched yet.
People don't understand the foolish move of hoping that Beast City won't charge a city fee.
But, if we hope Beast City doesn't charge an entrance fee for beast cores, then how about staying at an inn for one night without spending beast cores? Or eating without spending beast cores?
If you eat something delicious, buy some to take home for your family. Why not spend animal kernels?
Ruan Xiyue also made sure that the shops all priced nine blue-tier beast cores and nine yellow-tier beast cores, and offered a discount if you bought ten, making it eighty yellow-tier beast cores.
Even if some orcs only need one, they feel it would be a loss not to take advantage of the situation, so they buy them back and resell the extras to other orcs in the tribe.
Anyone with a bit of sense might not even lose money on this trip; they might even make a profit.
Could he come to like Hope Beast City and return next time?
An orc who had never been here before bought some good stuff from other orcs at a high price. Now that he has a chance, does he want to come himself? There's no entrance fee, and coming to see for himself will only take up a little time.
Therefore, Ruan Xiyue used promotional methods that others had summarized over thousands of years to deal with the beastmen of the beast world in a way that was considered inferior.
They didn't understand that free is the most expensive; they just blindly thought Ruan Xiyue was a saintly woman.
Yes, it's a win-win situation.
Xia Weier and the other beastmen were in the room with the cubs, listening to Ruan Xiyue's clear voice as she slowly unfolded her flatbread.
Ruan Xiayi and Ruan An'an had been confined in the childcare playground for too long, so when they saw the fathers, they were very active and wanted to talk more and express themselves.
"Father Xia, is Mother unconditionally helping the surrounding beastman tribes?" Ruan Xiayi blinked her bright eyes. She had transformed into a humanoid cub and looked a little over two years old, but she still had the fluffy ears of a three-tailed spirit fox.
Ruan An'an scoffed, "Mother is obviously trying to scam the other beastmen. What do you think?"
Ruan Xiayi was stunned; her little head was filled with question marks.
He pouted, looking like he was about to cry: "You lied to me! Mother is so kind, how could she possibly cheat other beastmen?"
The white lion female, Ruan Ruan, quickly transformed into the appearance of a two-and-a-half-year-old girl, walked over and patted Ruan Xiayi's head: "Mother didn't suffer any losses, but she didn't selflessly help other beastman tribes as those beastmen understood."
If you can figure out how your mother didn't suffer a loss, you'll become just as amazing as her!
