61 College visits, city debts
Jiang Wan felt the "wind chill", and Jiang Liu, the city lord, naturally wanted to come to visit.
In the morning, carrying the chicken soup cooked by Master Xie, Jiang Liu came to Jiangzuo Academy.
There were not many visitors in the academy at this time, either they had come early and didn't dare to disturb Jiang Wan to rest and leave, or they were still working hours and would come back when they were resting.
"City Lord."
"Hmm." Jiang Liu nodded gently in response to the greetings of ordinary city citizens.
"Pickup." Pikachu also poked his head out cutely and said hello.
It's strange to say that Taiping is extremely sensitive to people, but it can live in peace with Pikachu, who is judged by the system to be a "population", and stay in the arms of the river in harmony.
Even under the test of the river, Pikachu can open it freely, and he can still see the words on it, although Pikachu can't read it.
"City Lord."
"Jack, how's Gongyan doing?"
"It's fine, I'm reading in the study at this time."
"Then you go and report it."
"Yes."
After a while, Jack got a reply and took Jiang Liu to the study.
Seeing Jiang Wan's state, Jiang Liu had already determined that the white umbrella last night was made by Jiang Wan, who was in good condition, and there was no wind chill at all.
"I heard that Gongyan is sick, so I specially asked Master Xie to make soup, come and taste it."
"It's Master Xie's deliciousness, you must try it."
Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Jiang Wan immediately put down the book and took Jiang Liu's food box.
In recent years, there are still a lot of military generals, and there are also famous doctors, but there is really no one who wants to find a famous chef, and Master Xie is undoubtedly a chef with this strength.
With Master Xie alone, Jiang Wan was a little reluctant to leave Jiangzuo City.
But after all, he is a scholar, he has a good face, and he is embarrassed to say that he will let Jiang Liu provide him with food, which is really a long drought.
As soon as he took a bite of his stomach, Jiang Wan's eyes lit up.
"How does it taste?"
"Master Xie's cooking skills are really impeccable, and he can make the kitchen trail into an art, and I have seen only Master Xie in my life."
Every once in a while, Jiang Liu would invite Jiang Wan to dinner, and after eating for a long time, the chef's name would naturally be known.
"It's delicious, you eat slowly, I'll go first, just let Jack send the food box into the city."
"Dongliu, you...... You're just gone? ”
"Or else?"
"No, go slowly."
Jiang Chuan turned around and left, smiling.
Jiang Wan is a foodie, so it's easy to do, so naturally he can't follow his wishes and say that the food in the future will be sent by the inner city, and if you want to eat every day, worship the lord first.
Although the factor of eating has little effect, it is always an influencing factor, isn't it?
"Pickup pickup." Pikachu patted his stomach.
"Are you hungry too?"
"Pickup." Pikachu nodded.
"But didn't you just have breakfast? What should I do if I eat again and get fat? ”
"Pickups, pickups, ......"
"Pickup?"
"Pickup pickup pickup."
"Pickup pickup?"
Anyway, it's boring, Jiang Liu hugged Pikachu in front of him, and had a conversation with Pikachu in the "Pika" language that he didn't understand, but he didn't expect Pikachu to answer in a matter-of-fact manner, which made Jiang Liu confused.
"City Lord."
"Lu Junshi, early."
"City Lord, there was a sudden rainstorm last night, but I am afraid that the drought has passed, so I must organize people to repair the roof of the house."
"It's up to you to call the shots."
"Yes, there is one more thing that needs to be decided by the city lord."
"Oh? What is it? ”
"The third batch of rice is expected to be harvested in mid to late December, but there is not much food in the city, and if it is consumed at the current rate, it can last for 10 days."
Hearing this, Jiang Liu couldn't help but feel a little headache, the food consumption of 10,000 people was too great, even if the food of the construction brigade was already porridge mixed with miscellaneous grains, and another batch of rice was harvested in mid-October, but the gap was still not enough.
"By the way, at the beginning of December, wasn't the rice in the agreement field with the villagers of the former Xiaohua Village and Daping Village about to ripen?"
"We only harvest three percent of that batch of rice, and counting these three layers, can we support it for 10 days."
“………… Running out of money in town? ”
According to the agreement, Jiang Zuocheng could buy grain at a low price, but Robinson only said 30%, and did not consider the remaining 70%, obviously having no money to buy it.
"Well, the gold brought back by the city lord costs seven or eight out of ten to buy grain, and there is not much left after the rewards in the city are paid."
"Yulu pays? I remember that the smallest face value of the gold rewarded by His Majesty is one catty, and now someone has accumulated such a high amount of money? ”
Jiang Liu knew that die-hard people like Robinson were unpaid labor who only paid for food, and although the accounts were recorded, they were never honored, after all, they were nominally rich.
"It was paid by several people."
“…………”
Well, if you don't know how to spend money, in a short period of time, Jiang Liu has changed from being worth more than 10,000 gold to being poor.
Or is it a surplus collection system? Now Jiang Zuocheng can collect no more grain, only the rice harvest in early December, the first group to join will have some grain, but Jiang Liu thought about it, a not good policy is not in a desperate situation, he does not want to implement the second time.
"City Lord, do you want to be in a hurry to discuss together?"
"Okay, you go ......"
Suddenly, Jiang Liu had a flash of inspiration and thought of something: bonds.
"Yes, I can issue city bonds!"
Robinson was also impressed when he heard this, the concept of bonds has been in Europe for a long time, and Robinson, who was born into a merchant family, also knew about it, but he didn't think about it here.
"What a good idea, what is the interest and maturity of the city debt?"
"You can discuss this with Elder Jiang and them."
"Yes."
Having solved a major event, Jiang Liu's mood was extraordinary, and when he was about to return to the city, Jiang Liu stopped.
"By the way, last night's rainstorm, it is inevitable that some people will suffer from the cold, and it is good for me, the city lord, to go and offer some spiritual encouragement."
Walking to the residential area, I didn't see anyone.
This is normal, after all, work is arranged during the day, only sick people will ask for leave to rest, and his purpose is also to see if he can meet the city's citizens who are basking in the sun and resting outside the house, but what Jiang Liu doesn't know is that the cold is a very serious thing in ancient times, and it is easy to reincarnate, where will he bask in the sun outside the house?
After walking for most of the time without seeing anyone, when he was about to lose patience and go home, Jiang Liu noticed an abnormality.
At the corner, several law enforcement team members guarded, and several law enforcement team members were carefully surveying the ground, performing their duties and being meticulous, and the river was full of interest and walked over.
"City Lord."
The river is a river, and several law enforcement team members who are guarding it hurriedly salute.
"What happened?"
"There was a person who froze to death last night, and the master didn't reveal much information, only this."
