"It's Tina, Brother!"
Tina, who was already three years old and could already run and jump due to her body being stronger than ordinary people, broke free from Alice's grasp and ran toward Shen Zhao before crashing into his arms.
"Big Brother's embrace is so comfortable that Tina doesn't want to leave!”
Tina narrowed her eyes in comfort as she lay in the God's Radiance's embrace, a look of enjoyment on her face.
Shen Zhao burst into laughter upon seeing this, and he picked Tina up before planting a kiss on Tina's face before saying,"
"Why isn't Tina playing outside? Don't you go out to catch butterflies at this time every day?”
Tina misses Big Brother!"
Tina whispered into God Shine's ear before revealing a trace of grievance."
"Besides, Alice didn't even let me eat ice cream, and Tina only ate one today!”
"Is that so?"
Shen Zhao raised his eyebrows.
"Lord…Lord God Zhao, Tina ate three ice creams yesterday and the day before yesterday. This isn't good for children!”
Alice hurriedly bowed and explained.
But Tina just wants to eat it!"
Tina wriggled unhappily in Shen Zhao's arms.
"Alice, Tina can eat whatever she wants in the future. There's no need to restrict her diet, okay?”
Shen Zhao said directly.
"Really? That's great! Tina, thank you, Big Brother!"
Tina's eyes immediately lit up, and she immediately kissed Shen Zhao's face as she cheered.
"But, but..."
Alice looked hesitant. She felt that this was not good for the child's health.
"No buts! Tina is my younger sister, and her body is different from ordinary people. It's a good thing that she can eat, and it won't affect her body in any way!”
Shen Zhao said without any doubt, but he still explained the reason.
Tina had the bloodline of the God of Light, so she had never fallen sick. Ice cream wouldn't affect her at all, and the God of Light was very clear about this.
Besides, it was a good thing that she could eat. This would help Tina's body grow stronger faster.
"Yes, Lord Shen Zhao!"
Alice could only nod helplessly.
"How is the financial situation of our island? After canceling the island's reconstruction and construction, would the financial situation ease?”
Shen Zhao asked again.
Last month, Stu Xi had just come to the God Shine Empire. After observing the few islands in the God Shine Empire's territory, he shook his head and said that the islands in the God Shine Empire's hands were not suitable for building entertainment facilities.
There were four large islands in Shen Zhao's hands, which were Yellow Crystal Island, Cold Iron Island, Mithril Island, and Red Copper Island.
Without exception, these four large islands were all mineral islands. Stu Xi had clearly stated that they were not suitable to be used as God Shine's base, but as a rear island to earn money.
Apart from the four large islands, there were eight small islands. The situation was similar, and they were all mineral islands.
Stu Xi suggested that God Shine give up on the construction of the islands and increase the mining production on these islands to sell for money. This would also reduce the financial expenses of God Shine.
After some thought, God Shine decided to follow Stu Xi's plan. As for the future nest, God Shine still needed to plan something else. After all, these territories were just the beginning.
"Master Kanterasu, although there is a clear financial easing after abandoning the construction of the island, we are still unable to make ends meet because of our long-term production plan!”
" Moreover, we still have a lot of money to invest in the construction of the port and the cargo warships. We also recruited a large number of armed personnel to guard the island and the cargo warships. So, Master Kanterasu, you're running out of money again!”
Alice smiled bitterly.
"What is it? How is that possible? The 10 billion Bailey Kaido gave me is almost spent?”
Shen Zhao asked in disbelief.
"Yes, Lord Shen Zhao! At present, we have less than 3 billion Bailey. Although Topaz Island has been making money, it can't support such a large expenditure. We estimate that we can last for another two years!”
Alice said seriously.
"How is that possible? I remember that when we took down these islands, we gained a lot. Although the inventory data is not out yet, including the various metal ores and raw materials stored by them, there should be at least 10 billion Bailey, right?”
God Shine didn't believe it.
"This is what I came to talk to Lord Shen Zhao about today!”
"Speak!"
"The inventory has been completed today. They have also sent me the inventory list. From the looks of it, we have received less than 5 billion Bailey in cash on these islands!”
Alice said.
"Only this much? No wonder I found out that these islands were poor when I was fighting them!”
God Shine was speechless. Did he conquer a poor island? He still had to lead these islands slowly towards prosperity?
"Yes, based on the current situation, we can only persist for another two years to support the construction of such a large ship and port. However, these islands are actually not poor!”
Alice changed the topic.
"What happened?"
God Shine was somewhat baffled. What was Alice trying to say?
"In fact, the raw materials produced on these islands, whether it is cold iron, mithril or red copper, can be sold at a good price. The already mined stocks on these islands are worth at least 40 billion Bailey!”
Alice explained.
" Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and sell them. Don't sell any of the stocks and use them to build ports and build cargo warships. Wouldn't that be a cycle?”
Shen Zhao said excitedly.
"But that's the problem. We don't have a way to sell our goods. These materials are different from topaz.”
Alice looked helpless. Her words were like a bucket of cold water poured on God Shine's head. God Shine frowned and said,"
"What exactly is going on? Tell me in detail!”
"Cold iron is the main material needed to forge knives! Mithril was hard and light. It was the main material for making armor! Red copper was the main material for the barrel of firearms because of its good heat resistance and durability!”
"Isn't that good? They were all just in need. Why would they worry about not finding a buyer?”
The Divine Radiance was even stranger.
" But all of us are raw materials. Master Kamitsu, you're a pirate, so you can't trade with the navy. Pirates will almost always buy finished products and won't make them themselves. That's why they piled up so many raw materials. They originally thought that perhaps the navy could sell them to the navy when they developed their power here in the future!”
Alice said directly.
