From that day on, Fam's happy life in Elise officially began.

Every morning before dawn, but when the bakers in the cake sheds had already started their work, Fam would wake up naturally. Even when the soldiers told them that the first time they would eat bread was after the sun had come out, Fam, like most people, insisted on getting in line first. They shivered in the cold breeze of the early morning, and discussed with each other the taste of the bread, the timing of the distribution, and the great god of the land. What was said was not really important to Fam, and he would not remember it afterwards, he only remembered that when he talked about these topics, everyone was happy, and they watched with hope as the cooks made cakes for them. And they just need to stand, talk, stand in line, and finally wait for the whistle to blow......

In the first two days, everyone had the experience of eating. Even if you have eaten four or five cakes in a row, and your stomach has really been filled, after eating, everyone will subconsciously go to the end of the team and join the next round, because no one knows whether there is any guarantee for the next meal after eating this meal. It's not easy to come to Elis King City once, if you don't desperately put a few more pieces of bread in your stomach, then when you look back on this period of time, you will regret it so much.

But after everyone ate the bread to the end, couldn't eat it, exceeded the time limit, and was slapped a few times by the soldiers, everyone began to become realistic, no longer pursuing complete food, and everyone began to make a rational estimate of their appetite. Just like Fam himself, before he came to the royal city, he never knew how much he ate, because in the countryside, he always rationed according to his own harvest, and if he ate too much, he would face famine in the future. And this amount is always lower than the real needs of one's own stomach.

And when he arrived in Wangcheng, he ate bread for two days, and after being slapped five or six times, Fam finally mastered the exact number of his meals, if he ate two meals a day, he could eat three cakes steadily, and if he ate three meals, he could only eat two at that meal. And whether to eat two for three meals or three for two meals...... It's a difficult question that Fam is still pondering, and it has a diverse connection to the number of people in line, the choice of porridge shed, and the skill of the chef.

Every morning, Fam would choose to go to the porridge shack at the North Gate, because after a night, his stomach would usually be hungry, and the North Gate was the porridge shack in the city, with the lowest number of queues. The north gate is surrounded by the nobles of the royal city, and the families of those nobles are not uncommon and civilians line up to eat free cakes, which creates excellent conditions for Fam's people, but the chef's skills at the north gate are very poor, and Fam has eaten twice The cake is baked very unevenly, and the chef is also lazy, the sugar in the cake is not opened, and if you are lucky, you can eat sugar cubes, and if you are unlucky, you can't even eat sweetness.

At noon, you must go to the gate of the palace garden, where there are many trees planted near the porridge shed, whether it is a queue place or a place to eat, there are leaves above the head to help block the sun. In the summer, when the sun is in the sky, the taste of being exposed to the sun is quite unpleasant. In addition, there are many wells dug on the edge of the Imperial Garden for watering, and after eating the cake, you can drink a few sips of cool well water, not to mention how beautiful it is.

When it comes to dinner, the square is undoubtedly the best choice. Because the chef there is said to have been the cook of the princesses' house, and the cakes they baked were charred and crispy in their mouths, and the sugar in them was not directly mixed with flour like other cakes, but with a special sugar filling, sandwiched in the middle of the whole cake. When you eat this sweetness in your mouth, every bit is like concentrated honey, and the taste is charred on the outside and tender on the inside...... Because of this, the square's cake shack is the most difficult to queue, usually after lunch, take a short nap, and then you have to go to the dinner line, otherwise you may not be able to take your turn - in that case, the gains outweigh the losses.

In addition to eating bread, Fam was exposed to two simple jobs, each time while he was in line. There would be one or two soldiers in the back of the line, holding a few loaves in their hands, telling the crowd about temporary recruitment, usually two or three loaves of bread, and the work to be done was often very simple, Fam had done twice before, once to help the soldiers carry food, and once to help kill chickens. The time he helped kill the chicken, Fam not only ate the cake, but also got a few pieces of chicken.

After that, in addition to being full, Fam would take the initiative to go to several bulletin boards in the city to listen to everyone talk about recruitment, as long as he felt that he could do it, he would sign up for it.

In the process, Fam began to realize that it seemed to be easier and more frequent to find a job on his own. Even in the last two days, he hardly had to go back to the queue to receive the bread, relying only on various temporary handymen, he could earn more than a dozen loaves a day. Fam, who had always had nothing, had only been in the royal city for more than a week, and he had saved more than a dozen silver coins on his body.

Fam began to have a vague expectation that if he could find a long-term job in the city, maybe he would stay in the city for the rest of his life, and maybe he would be able to eat cookies for the rest of his life. Even if there are no cookies to eat in the future, he can just have an errand and eat enough—this is much more exciting and comfortable than his life in the countryside.

But this good anticipation lasted only a few days, and then there was a subtle change.

The people in the city began to feel more and more quickly, and at first, Fam could easily find a sheltered and warm place to sleep at night, and even spend a few coppers to live in the homes of local residents. But by the second week, he couldn't even find a place to turn over when he wanted to sleep on the street. The Divine Envoy also purchased the residences of some nobles and merchants in the city for them, and arranged for some old people and children to live in them. But for a man in the prime of life like Fam, sleeping is still a big problem. The key to this problem is not the quality of sleep, even if Fam is thrown into the pigsty and the pig sleeps, Fam can ensure that he sleeps until dawn, the key is that in this completely open environment, the safety of the dozen silver coins on Fam's body now has a big problem.

This made Fam begin to suffer, and this pain was even more overwhelming than when he first came to the royal city, waiting hungry. At least then he knew that he would have something to eat as long as he stood in line, and now, he didn't know what he could do with the silver coins. In the past, Fam's biggest dream in life was to eat well, but now that this dream has been easily realized, Fam didn't know how to continue for a while.

As if the divine messenger could hear Fam's thoughts, just as Fam was agonizing over the money, at noon the next day, when he was about to line up at the door of the porridge shed in the Imperial Garden, he saw everyone watching a notice. On the side of the notice, a clerk held a loudspeaker and seriously announced to everyone the contents of the notice.

For the first time, Fam didn't have the heart to go to the line to eat, but listened carefully to the clerk's speech.

This is the king borrowing money, and the king borrowing money from all the common people! The interest is high, especially high! For the king borrowed silver coins, but he repaid the real land, which was more valuable than gold.

Anyone who buys a bond worth five silver coins will be able to get back five hectares of land with this bond in a year!

Five acres!

Fam is a farmer, he knows the current land price too well, the worst hectare, can only be used to grow beans, the lowest price can now be sold for three gold coins!

It's a full three!

In other words, if you start investing now, you can get 30 times the profit in a year!

Epham now has a net worth, and if he buys two bonds, he will receive a full ten acres in a year, and many knights do not have so much land in their land.

On each of these bonds, the king's seal was stamped, not only the king's seal, but also the king's head.

Fam had never seen the king before, but from the enthusiastic purchase of others, he immediately realized that this was the perfect opportunity to change his fate. Almost without hesitation, he joined the rush to buy.

……

"Are we making counterfeit money?" Wu Xiaoqing looked at the surging crowd in front of him, a little crying and laughing, he thought that this kind of rough "banknote" made of printing paper might not be recognized by anyone at all, but it turned out that the king's credit was still very good.

"In terms of the technology of this era, five silver coins, even if you buy a king's head, are a good investment in art," the search and rescue team said, "and when we leave, these banknotes will definitely become precious antiques." ”

"But the money we printed, even if the entire land of the Elis Kingdom is divided, I'm afraid it won't be enough," Wu Xiaoqing really wanted to sigh at the simplicity of the people of this era, and they had no sense of financial fraud prevention at all, "Didn't they think about it?" ”

"It's not important anymore, after the volcano erupts, not to mention five hectares for one person, five hundred hectares for one person can be managed...... Before, like Xu Yan, he went to the door one by one to borrow money for mortgage, which was too inefficient. Do you still have printer paper? We can also print a batch of 10 gold coins, 100 acres of large denomination notes. ”

"Not much," Wu Xiaoqing said, "and bring dozens of boxes of paper...... The ink is almost gone. I didn't even think about printing money at all, so let Professor Shen buy more this time. Big brother, I don't understand, they bought all the money for the land, don't they want to leave even more? ”

"The land was promised by King Elise," said the search and rescue team, "and when we leave, the new King Anthony will not admit it at all." Not to mention that the king just went to the south, even if the king died, those of them who had bought the bonds, I am afraid that they would have to try their best to get God to resurrect the king first, pay their debts and then die, and get on this boat, it will be difficult to go down. Most of the people who buy such small bonds are civilians, who cannot resist the temptation and will take out every one of their savings; They can't afford to lose even more, and even for the money, they'll follow us to the end. ”
