Cale asked her a question and she immediately started to respond.

�I saw many conditions, but� Your side��

Her gaze turned toward Cale.

�You are aiming for the tolls.�

How had the Molden Kingdom become a strong nation with Elisneh the First at the center?

The Molden Kingdom had created wide and well-maintained roads going North, South, East, and West� They connected everywhere.
Naturally, there were inns and other facilities for travelers along those roads.

Those were the reasons that the numerous merchant guilds of the Eastern continent used the Molden Kingdom�s roads when traveling to other nations, paying the Molden Kingdom a set fee every time they entered the Molden Kingdom to use their facilities.

�It�s similar to a toll gate on Earth.�

Cale recalled the toll gate fee people needed to pay to use the safe zone roads once the monsters appeared.

Furthermore, the Molden Kingdom�s toll was very low and charged based on the size of the party and the number of carts, making many small merchants use these roads.
Even the large merchant guilds used the Molden Kingdom�s roads because they were the fastest, safest, and had the least complicated verification process.

That resulted in the Molden Kingdom raking in a lot of money even at the low-cost toll, increasing the commercial supremacy of the Molden Kingdom.

Cale started to speak.

�Princess Jopis, you of all people should know most about things related to the roads.�

The one time.
The one time Jopis almost defeated Elisneh the First.

That was when it was revealed that she was the one who created the road maintenance plan that helped the Molden Kingdom grow so quickly.

Originally, the road maintenance, gathering of fees and workers, dealing with the politics and administration� People had thought that Elisneh the First had done it all.
However, it was revealed that the original plan that started all of this was Jopis�s idea.

In other words, the idea started from Jopis but the two sisters worked together to bring it to fruition� And Elisneh the First who had the authority to make it happen had given the order.

�Both of them are no joke.�

It could be said that both of the sisters were very talented.
If Jopis remained by Elisneh the First�s side to help her, the Molden Kingdom could probably quickly ascend to the Eastern continent�s first Empire.

Jopis started to smile.

�I suppose I know about the roads the most. But giving the toll to the Roan Kingdom��
�We are not asking for all of it nor is it a long-term contract. Furthermore, there are other venues that fund the Molden Kingdom even more than the tolls.� JrNovels.com
