Some things cannot be understood in a short while. Feng Kan just left a seed in Ralph's little head. In the future, this seed will definitely take root and sprout. At that time...

"Ralph, what did you say are fighting in war?"

“What are you fighting in war?”

Xiao Zhengta grabbed his head and blinked in confusion.

"Isn't it just money for the money?"

"Oh? Is that true?"

"Isn't it? The soldiers' military pay, the cost of military supplies, the cost of building weapons and equipment, and the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle... aren't these all money?"

"Very good! Are these things you think of by yourself or are they told by others?"

"Do you still need to tell me this? You can't you know everything just by watching the father's busy things every day?"

This can be seen at the age of a teenager. It has to be said that in addition to Fastro's royal education, Ralph himself is indeed talented.

Feng Kan smiled, not commenting, just untied his wallet and threw it to the little prince.

"?"

What is this for?

"There are twenty betras in it, now you go and buy a boat for me."

"ah?"

Not only Ralph, but everyone else was also stunned. What is this place? This is an endless plain! In my eyes, except for the land, let alone rivers, I can’t even see a stream! Where can I get a boat?

"Did I not make it clear?"

"...Not... Brother Kan... Boat?"

"That's right? Am I not clear enough?"

"You want me to buy a boat?"

“Is twenty betras not enough to buy a boat?”

“…”

Isn't this a question of whether it's enough?

"No matter how much money you have, someone will have to sell it!"

Ralph threw his purse up and down with laughter.

"That's it."

"Ah? What's that?"

"No one sells it, no matter how much money you have, it's useless!"

Ralph stopped throwing his money bag, and he could hear what Feng Kan meant.

"Ralph, remember that although money can buy goods, money itself cannot replace goods. Money is just a symbol of credit in a transaction, but it has no meaning in itself! Without transactions, there is no money! What is fighting in war is not money, but national strength!"

"Land, population, resources, productivity, etc. are all manifestations of national strength. Fighting between two countries is actually a battle of national strength, which is a competition between countries! In this regard, the St. Ostan and Santa Alliance are indeed not as good as the Jamins Empire. The land area is incomparable, the population base is incomparable, and the resources and environment are even more incomparable. In this way, what do we use to fight against each other?"

"……productive forces!"

All the options are the last one left!

"That's right! It's productivity! In other aspects, we are absolutely unable to compare with the other side! The number of soldiers in war is the number of soldiers. How to increase the survival rate of soldiers on the battlefield and increase the exchange ratio of casualties between the two sides? It is to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers and strengthen the weapons and equipment of soldiers. Think about it, two soldiers wearing armor and holding long swords, and the enemy's attack slashed over with a sword. The armor on our soldiers did not even have cracks, but our soldiers slashed over with one sword and directly cut off the enemy's head. In this way, who will win and lose the same number of soldiers?"

"Of course we won! Because one of us is better than one or several of them, of course we win!"

"Then where do these armor and weapons that are better than the enemy come from?"

“Created by the craftsmen!”

"But such excellent weapons and equipment require a craftsman to spend a lot of effort and time to build it. Then the number of soldiers who can be equipped is limited. What should I do?"

"Improving productivity! Yes! It's improving productivity!"

Ralph suddenly realized!

"Not only weapons and equipment, but also sufficient food and timely transportation equipment are all achieved by increasing productivity!"

"It's up to the point! But...how to increase productivity?"

"this……"

"The population of St. Ostan is only so large, and everyone has to live their own lives. The soldiers are not production and are responsible for combat. Do you know where their source of life comes from? Now, if you want to support a soldier for a long time in St. Ostan, you must have six people working to produce, that is, the ratio of soldiers to the people is one to six."

"It takes six people to support a soldier?"

"Yes? Otherwise, what do you think your father has a headache all day long? Do you think that Lord Druman, the Holy Knight in the Great Hall of Salatin, has planted such a large field to study higher yields of food for fun?"

"……this……"

"Improving productivity is to liberate more labor. It is the ideal state if a person can support a soldier without affecting his living conditions."

"...Brother Kan! That's why you created the Wuxin Palace?"

"That's right! Advanced technology can make the same number of people produce more products! This is the use of technology and technology!"

"I understand! Knowledge is power!"

“…”

Feng Kan looked at Ralph, smiling and patted his head.

"It's not completely correct! Knowledge is not power, wisdom is power!"

"ah?"

"Isn't it just an encyclopedia with two legs just to have knowledge but not know how to use it flexibly? Only by summarizing knowledge, discovering knowledge, summarizing knowledge, and converting knowledge into productivity is the real power! Do you understand?"

Ralph nodded, then lowered his head and thought. The conversation he had just had with Feng Kan had been enough for him to digest for a long time.

Feng Kan no longer disturbed his thinking. It was a good thing to think. Fastro VII also hoped that his son could surpass himself in the future. However, how much he could understand depends on the little prince himself. Maybe Feng Kan had to hit him a few more times in the future. It would be really a sense of accomplishment to be able to train a future king of a country like this!

Mo Lan, who was jogging forward, suddenly raised her ears, and Feng Kan seemed to hear something.

"team leader……"

A cat girl from the Bauhinia Guard suddenly rode her horse to Sorom's side.

"I just seemed to hear the crying of children nearby."

"Um?"

Sorom took the reins a little, and she didn't doubt the words of the team member at all. The cat tribe could have heard small voices that others could not hear.

"…and…it seems to hear the roar of the Dorken scavenging beast!"

Before the others could react, two quick black shadows rushed out of the team and ran towards a small high slope on the right...
