ELECTUS 116 Beginning Of The Third Volume.

You would think how a Kingdom with a flat monthly income could possibly afford to give free food to over 400 people. Well, it is simple. He doesn't have a flat income anymore.

Zar, the King of Pameres Kingdom struck a deal with the Zamerians, and since the port of Gaster Kingdom has to be used in order to transfer the Iron Swords from Ignis to Zameria, Gaster Kingdom respectfully earns 10% of all the profits made from the Iron Swords in this 6 month project.

It wasn't difficult to strike a deal with the Zamerains either. Owning large land, they always need weaponry to either protect their land or often used to solve Local issues. There are several Alliances there. Zameria holds 3 Million People after all, so it wasn't hard to strike a deal with a reputation of a King.

The buying Kingdom no doubt demanded a big s.h.i.+pment of Iron Swords to be delivered on the first month, but considering Blacksmithery being a rare craft and Ignis holding just above 126,000 people, the buyers understood why Zar can only provide so much each month.

The 54 Blacksmiths that King Zar managed to recruit, can only provide 304 Swords each month which eats up all the daily ore which is usually around 20.

The considerably experienceless Blacksmiths proved the most useful because there are 35 of them.

Even though they only manage to make a good quality Iron Sword per week(each), they still sum up a total of 140 Iron Swords per month. Multiply that by 70 Gold Coins, it makes up for half of the overall profit from selling these Iron Swords.

The 16 Blacksmiths who have under 5 years of experience also manages to bring a good profit, almost equal to the experienceless. They manage to make 128 Iron Swords per month.

While the highly paid Blacksmiths having over 5 years of experience in Blacksmithery, bring a stunning amount of 36 Iron Swords per month.

Sounds small comparable to what the other 2 groups are providing, well it does.

But if you didn't know it yet, there are only 3 Blacksmiths with over 5 Years of experience.

That's how rare they are, 3 of them were found in a Kingdom of 2500 people.

Although they only make 304 Iron Swords per month, when you multiply that with 70 Gold Coins, it equals to a stunning profit of 21280 Gold Coins per month.

The Blacksmiths taking 9504 each month as a salary and Gaster Kingdom getting 10% of the profit as the deal was made earlier, they still earn 8368 each from this project, plus the Zamerians cover the transport expenses.

The Buyers requested 2000 Iron Swords at the first month for a one time delivery deal. But considering that Pameres Kingdom couldn't provide that much in just a month, they made it a 6 month project. Which is exactly the time King Zar needs to provide 2000 Iron Swords.

Considering the recently hired 6 Hunters each providing at least 3 hunts a week, all be it leather or fur is stocked to be sold and every animal meat, including wolf meat, is sold.

But mostly boars are caught, they roam these forests a lot due to the low hunting rate. There are more boars than people on Ignis.

Boar meat costing 20 Gold Coins per kg naturally brings a lot of income even considering Zar selling it at half the market price, offering the meat to it's people at a price of 10 Gold Coins per kg, the Kingdom still makes a stunning monthly profit of 12000 Gold Coins out of the whole hunting project. Pameres Kingdom has 2500 People living in it after all, and considering meat being rare, they are eager to buy it at such cheap prices.

Pameres Kingdom earns a total of 55280 Gold Coins per month, but considering having to pay StoneMasons, Blacksmiths, Hunters, Construction Workers, lumberers and miners, which take 36734 Gold Coins each month, Pameres Kingdom still get a decent clear profit of 18546 Gold Coins, the fact that he only offers food and shelter for the Guards instead of Gold Coins, makes earning a profit easier. But he does have plans about paying the Guards.

The budget increased to a total of 220,000 Gold Coins so far, but once the 6 month deal is over, Zar will need to think of different ways of profit from the Zamerians, which will no doubt be profitable for Gaster Kingdom as well.

The Construction Workers along with the StoneMasons, managed to build 20 houses ever since they started the project about 2 months ago, which apart from Employees not having to share a house with several families anymore and more homeless people escaping the streets without an expense, it added more income(800 Gold Coins) to the monthly taxes(40 Gold Coins per month).

To aid the budget, 3 people joined the mine which left no house profitless and less people on the streets.

When the 100 house project will be done, there won't be any more people on the streets but Zar will no doubt find a job for at least one house member on each house, it is profit from all sides.

Throughout several urgent calls for recruitment, King Xakro ill.u.s.tratio lll managed to replace the workers and or Soldiers that Eric, the very Electus ma.s.sacred on his awakening to power when he saw himself surrounded by hundreds of Guards trying to kill him, his friends and father.

Due to his awakening to power, experiencing his first outburst, he actually managed to kill over 900 People. But now even if he was to face 100, he would face his own death. Especially if there are archers opposing him.

The outburst for you who possibly didn't read about yet, is a stage every Electus has to pa.s.s on his or her first days of awakening in to power.

It is a test of overall endurance of the Caster.

Xakro managed to replace most workers that he lost because he converted nearly 500 Imported(those who don't have a full citizens.h.i.+p) Guards in to either StoneMasons, Hunters, Building Constructors, Blacksmiths or lumbers.

60% of the recruits were experiencless. So considering that, Xakro will have less expenses but also less profit.
