The appearance of the security forces accelerated the internal integration of Byronsburg. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The boundaries between info factions and factions are beginning to blur, and the leadership is pleased with this development.

Just when the development of Byronsburg was already in full swing, a young man from Shangjin County appeared in the mountains where Byronsburg was located.

When the Black Shrine was still around, there was no road leading here. When the people of the Black Shrine go out of the mountain, they try to disperse their movements as much as possible, and then converge at the bottom of the mountain so as not to leave obvious traces. When the deliverers returned, the convoy took a different route each time, and it took at least three months before returning to the original route. At that time, all the traces of the previous walk have been erased by nature with the hands full of life, leaving no path.

After the establishment of Byronsburg, the situation was very different. Byrensburg needs to be connected to the outside world, and a visible path is a must. Therefore, when Maier and the others went to Liangyue City and returned to Bairensburg, they took the same route, and they took the same route as the Yan family's caravan.

The teams compacted the ground with the soles of their feet, the soles of their shoes, the hooves of their horses, and the wheels, creating a looming path. This is how the first passages between settlements were created.

Wei Xu did not bring his entourage on this trip, because he secretly ran from the twenty-ninth village without Wei Lin. After he arrived in Liangyue City, he inquired all the way and walked on this path. He walked along the path and walked for a long time without seeing Byronsburg, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

Is that merchant lying to me?

After Byronsburg officially gained international status, some bold traders came here to sell their goods. After the battle at the Black Shrine, Maier gave each of his men a hundred Buntairong as a bonus. But in today's Byronsburg, money can't buy anything. Not only Myer's subordinates, but also many people with spare money in their pockets were distressed by this.

Therefore, for the arrival of these merchants, the leadership of Bairensburg naturally welcomed them with both hands. At the suggestion of Nami Layman, Maier set up a trading post about three kilometers from the West Gate, and set up a simple market outside the West Gate. Byronsburg buys supplies from trading posts and sells them at the improvised market through official channels, thus recovering the liquidity of the population.

The "West Gate Market" only opens in the afternoon, and before the market opens, Maier will give all the residents a break from their work to give them time to visit the market. The first opening of the Ximen Market was very cold, and the only goods sold were dried apples from Liangyuecheng. But even so, residents snapped up their wares within half an hour – the result of buyers queuing up under the guidance of the security forces.

The person in charge of the official transactions with the merchants was Yuris, and she was also responsible for the pricing of goods in the Westgate Market. Scarcity is expensive, and in Byronsburg, where supplies are extremely scarce, new goods will definitely attract everyone's attention. At first, Uris wanted to make a lot of money for Mel in Byronsburg, but Maier said that doing so would make Byronsburg lose its social credibility, so Ulis had to raise the price of the goods as appropriate.

After the initial cash recovery efforts had paid off, the leadership of Byronsburg, at the suggestion of Nami Lodge, convened another extraordinary meeting. At this meeting, Nami Lodge suggested that the "full food rationing" system should be gradually changed to a "full pay system". That is, Byronsburg will gradually abolish food rations for residents, pay them in money, and let residents buy food and other necessities from the government on their own.

It may seem like a bit redundant to give out money to residents themselves, and then let them use it to buy things from them, but it is not.

Since the nationwide reclamation campaign will come to an end in the near future, this transformation is absolutely necessary. The circulation of money and materials will stimulate people's desire to buy, thereby stimulating people's desire to work and maintaining the vitality of the settlement. A settlement without vitality will stagnate, so for the future development of Byrensburg, the vitality of the settlement is very necessary.

But the benefits of the pay system don't stop there.

Money, as the most liquid general equivalent in society, plays a decisive role in the flow of goods. The flow of money can determine the flow of goods, and the greater the circulation of money, the greater the circulation of goods. If goods and money are compared to a trickle, then they are destined to come together. And the people who bring it all together are the merchants.

The merchant class brought great benefits to the rulers and the settlement, as they could bring the goods needed to the settlement and sell the surplus goods elsewhere. Because of this, every power in the New World attaches great importance to the development of commerce.

Although some forces would suppress merchants and lower their social status, they never intended to eliminate this class. Because they suppress merchants not because they are hateful, but because they know how much power they wield. The economy is the lifeblood of every force, and the businessman is precisely the one who holds the lifeblood of each force in his hands. If they are not restricted, when they grow stronger, a certain force is destined to change masters.

However, wise businessmen will never fight the ruler's idea, because they know that business is business and government is government, and although the two have something in common, they are fundamentally different in nature. For example, both merchants and rulers seek profit, but the interests of the two are not the same thing.

After all, what a businessman seeks is only material. But what the ruler seeks is the hearts of the people. Governing a territory is not the same thing as buying and selling, and if a merchant is in charge of the country, then the country has no future to speak of. Because as long as the price is right, the merchant will not hesitate to sell the country.

Therefore, even if some forces are controlled by merchants, their rulers will not be merchants. Merchants will profit from the hands of the rulers, and the rulers will use the hands of the merchants to stabilize the people, and the two will either depend on each other or use each other - of course, in practice, the latter is more of a relationship.

The reform of the economic system of Bairensburg will give birth to the local merchant class, which can directly prevent the economy of Bairensburg from being controlled by foreign merchants. Merchants not only drive the flow of money and goods, but also bring taxes to the territory. Of course, in order to encourage merchants to do business here, Byronsburg has not yet introduced a transaction tax.

By the time he arrived at the trading post in Byronsburg, it was September 25. The complete food rationing system in Byronsburg has become a partial food rationing system. In addition to the already salaried residents, nearly 500 more people have become "salaried", including the security forces of Byronsburg.

Signs in Rytin, Ira, and Taeyong scripts were hung outside the trading post, and a mixed unit called the "Ximen Trading Post Garrison" was stationed. This force is the second multi-faction mixed force in Byronsburg, and includes 50 of Mel's men and 50 of Spirit Feather's War Witches.

The commander of this force was the "Kugi Five" under Meier, and the top commander of the unit was Kuki Thirty-three. After nearly two months of growth, Kuki's hair has grown a lot. She wore her hair in a ponytail and looked even smarter than she did with short hair.

"Uh...... Byronsburg ...... Westgate Trading Post? ”

Wei Xu led the horse to the sign outside the trading post and recognized the Irawen on it, but it was in New Esperanto. The city guards who were on duty in front of the sign saw that he was literate, riding a maroon horse, dressed in extraordinary clothes, and had not brought any merchandise, and felt that he was definitely not an ordinary person, so they ran back to report the matter to Jiumu 33.

Wei Xu saw that the person on duty in front of the sign had run away, so he didn't think much about it and continued to walk towards the trading station. There were two teams of merchants in the trading post, two freight wagons, a capable woman with a ponytail arguing with the two merchants, and a mature woman with a plump body and a marked face arguing on the side.

The city guards on duty ran directly to the capable woman with a ponytail and whispered something to her. After that, the city guard pointed to Wei Xu's side again. The capable woman with the ponytail looked at Wei Xu suspiciously for a while, and said something to the beautiful mature woman.

After that, the two of them seemed to let the merchant wait in place, and then walked straight to Wei Xu.

It's beautiful......

The moment Changrong appeared in sight, Wei Xu was deeply attracted to her. As someone said, some people just like this kind of mature appearance and older women, and they like it when they see it. If it weren't for this, Wei Xu wouldn't have been fascinated by Man Yun at the beginning, and almost handed over the command of the troops to her.

Changrong noticed Wei Xu's explicit gaze and felt that this guy was a little disgusting, so he slowed down a little. She let Jiumu Thirty-three walk in front of her, blocking Wei Xu's sight for herself.

"You-this-...... Excellency. ”

Kugi Thirty-three originally wanted to ask him directly, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? What to do in Byronsburg? ”

But when she opened her mouth, Changrong quietly tugged at her clothes from behind, so she changed her mouth to call the other party "Your Excellency".

"I wonder where your Excellency is from? Why come to Byrensburg? ”

This kind of questioning full of honorifics made Kugi Thirty-three a little uncomfortable, and if it wasn't for Maier who made her have to learn this way of communication, she would never have spoken to people in this way.

"I-uh, despicable...... Zhou Gu, from Shangjin County, is a ...... Idlers. ”

In terms of name, Wei Xu borrowed Zhou Gu's name without blushing and heartbeat. But in terms of identity, he didn't know how to fake. Because Wei Xu was not very interested in other things besides marching and fighting, politics and martial arts. If you fake other professions, it is easy to be exposed by the other party.

"Idler?"

"It's a shame to say that the idlers we mean those who don't have a job and wander around."

"In other words, you're vagrant?"

Jiumu Thirty-three looked at Wei Xu's line again, and his brows furrowed deeply.

"Can a jobless vagrant afford to buy a good horse, wear good clothes, and look white and clean?"

"This ...... There are still some assets in the contemptible family. Wei Xu explained with an embarrassed face.

"Oh, I see." Jiumu Thirty-three nodded suddenly in realization, "It turned out to be an idle young master Kuo." ”

Uh, the idle young master Kuo......

Wei Xu was hurt a lot by Jiumu Thirty-three's words, but he couldn't refute it. He can't say that he is actually the only son of Wei Lan, a famous general in Shangjin County, and he is General Wei Xu, who has just defeated the 15,000-mile shrine army on the battlefield with 7,000 men and horses.

"Young Master Zhou Gu, why did you come to Byrensburg?"

"Oh, that's right." Wei Xu explained unhurriedly, "When I was playing in Liangyue City, I heard someone say that a Bairens Fort suddenly appeared in the east of Liangyue City, and I thought it was quite magical, so I wanted to come and see it." ”

When Jiumu Thirty-three heard this, he wanted to drive Wei Xu away directly. At this time, Changrong tugged at her clothes again, and then walked to Jiumu Thirty-three's side. After Wei Xu saw Changrong, his eyes immediately became brighter than the midday sun. He deliberately raised his head with his chest up, and also combed the broken hair in front of his forehead.

"I'm sorry, this Young Master Zhou Gu. Byronsburg is still under construction and is not accessible to outsiders. If you want to visit Byronsburg, you can come back in a few years. ”

Changrong's voice was not special among the beauties of Byronsburg, but it was like a heavenly sound in Wei Xu's ears. He didn't care what Changrong said, he nodded like pounding garlic, and good words popped out of his mouth as if he didn't want money.

By the time Wei Xu came back to his senses, he had already walked outside the trading station. He patted his head remorsefully in front of the city guards on duty, and muttered in his mouth: "Red face trouble, red face trouble, why am I so ...... have no memory?"

Wei Xuren had already left the trading post, and going back would definitely arouse the suspicion of the other party. In desperation, he could only mount his horse and urge the horse to leave here.
