Chapter Ninety-Eight: Chess is High

It is difficult to guess the origin of the rumors, but the credible sources are just unevenly placed in front of Wu Ran.

"Next Monday, the brave Eltars will let the flames of vengeance burn the decaying city of Kamla to the ground."

Several slips of paper had roughly the same content written on them, and the handwriting was completely different. According to the citizens who went out on the street in the morning to pick up the notes and handed them in, they were scattered on the ground of the main road - they were there when the doors were opened.

"It's not like it's about letting the citizens know what they're doing and keep up with them." Wu Ran smiled and stuffed all these notes into the file bag, and commented sharply, "I think this is for us to mess up." You go and help me adjust the direction of the weather in Kamla last night, especially ...... Forget it, I'll go in person. ”

"Don't you have to recycle those notes? The number of civilians who have not turned it in is probably very large. The policeman who had just sent the physical evidence asked nervously.

"Not at all." Wu Ran waved his hand, "If it is really recovered, it will help those who spread the news in the shadows to confirm this speculation." Later, I will go out and broadcast a radio to say that we will resolutely respond to any form of challenge to the law and order of Kamla City. ”

These notes did cause a bit of trouble in Kamra. Many people began to worry that the market that had just settled down would be depressed because of the chaos of bad people; At the same time, there are also unorganized city fox society rats that are ready to move, planning to make some big news around Monday, that is, around the arrival of the liberation wheel.

There is another unexpected change. Some people who wanted to have some spare money in their hands and wanted to avoid the limelight in the past few days suddenly found that they could no longer find a carriage that could take them to other cities for refuge in the past few days.

One to ten, ten to hundred. Although not even one person has died, some things on the market have suddenly begun to rise in price. Long queues formed in front of the shops in Kamra, which are run by the central government and licensed to sell flour, and patrol police were called in to maintain order.

Next to the grain purchase procession, several people in gorgeous costumes walked by.

The leader Krona had already sniffed out that the atmosphere on the street was wrong, and he asked Neaesas, the living god dressed as a young man next to him, seemingly casually: "Mr. Taliaos, your superior...... Would you be happy to see chaos in Kamla and even in the newly controlled areas of the central government in Elta? ”

"Of course not." Without hesitation, Neuesas replied happily. "No matter how chaotic it is, the Church Army doesn't have the ability to take it down again against the Elta Army. Besides, if this place is really so chaotic that even the central government of Elta can't suppress the situation, then is it possible for the church to be so powerful that it is not as strong as before? ”

Krona nodded, silent. He and the young man "Talios" beside him had undoubtedly read the note, but he needed to clarify Talios's attitude - although he claimed to be an envoy sent by the gods of the Lord and the Church of the Two Moons who wanted Elta to return to peace with the Church of the Two Moons, he still had to be prepared in case of any event. In case this Kamla is really turned upside down, who knows if this "Lord Peace" is forced to make peace?

"Now there are people who want to muddy the quiet Elta again, and a little thought will tell who they are working for. Can you guess it, Mr. Croner? Suddenly, Neuesas's words interrupted his thoughts.

"Hmm...... Yes...... Please tell me your judgment, I was thinking about something else just now, and I haven't turned my brain around yet, haha......" Croner, who was questioned, was a little embarrassed for a while, so he had to cover up the past with a wry smile.

"Hmm. How many of you, the merchants, the poor who do hard work on the streets, the citizens who survive by their crafts or their brains and knowledge, have not received the favor of the central government of Elta? Right? ”

Crona nodded. Although they were unwilling to cut off the grain trade according to the arrangement of the people of the other world, but soon this part of the excess capital and storage space was added to the distribution and trade of "Chinese goods", which was really unlimited business opportunities.

Clough's overland operation was not as tempting as the regular merchandise of the "Liberation Ships" at sea, but it did provide a new trade route. Anyone with a head knows that as long as they continue to work closely with the central government and do what the central government wants, they will be more profitable than before.

Not to mention the poor and citizens on the streets. When the economy withers, the number of artisans and workers in the citizens will be greatly reduced, and the liquidity of the whole society will be reduced, which will then affect the merchants who serve themselves.

Now people from other worlds are using municipal works and house renovation to make the entire Kamla society "rich" from the bottom, and the final result is that Kamla can usher in a new life. In addition to the low-cost food provided by the central government, the working poor began to have the money to consume cheap seafood, buy candy for their children, and even eat meat once a week. The poor began to have hope for the future, and the merchants, farmers, and fishermen who sold their goods began to feel that they could sell their goods and that their incomes had increased - and the whole city of Kamla and its surroundings came alive in an unbelievable way.

Naturally, the number of robberies and thefts caused by the hopelessness of the future can drop by an order of magnitude, and the number of victims and victim-turned-perpetrators also begins to decrease simultaneously, and a virtuous circle of Kamla City begins.

"To say that such an order is definitely welcomed by the vast majority of people." Turning his head to the newly paved concrete pavement in front of him, and the poor workers who were mixing mortar into the cement piles next to him, "When I first arrived in Kamra, I wondered how these workers looked on the streets. It stands to reason that the people who do these jobs should have a bitter expression on their faces, that is, they are 'forced' to choose this kind of work that pays little and is laborious. But that wasn't what I saw that day. ”

Kroner nodded again—but unfortunately he didn't look closely, and there was a hint of unwillingness on the faces of these "poor" workers. Then he replied:

"People from other worlds are very smart. The prosperity of the streets depends on the poor who are the most numerous and the poorest. When they have money, they buy things, buy possessions, and even buy houses. And eighty percent of this money will eventually fall back into the hands of people in another world, such as the facial tissues you and I carry with me now, and a pack will cost a 'RMB'. It is said that Elta is now able to make this thing except for the factory in Mendong City, and although only you and I can use it now, it will soon be used by those migrant workers who dig the earth and level the road. Our chamber of commerce may be able to make a profit from the distribution of these small things, but ...... No one will be dissatisfied with this, this is true of people from other worlds, we are like this, and the same is true of people from other worlds who have solved problems with leaves and now can solve problems with 'facial tissues'. Well, this is where the strength of the central government lies...... Whether it is Emperor Charles, or the merchant alliance that we have formed on our own, it has always been stagnant in revitalizing the market. Before they came, no matter what we did, the market was dead; As soon as they came, they not only solved the road surface that had not been completed for many years, but also repaired the houses, and even the market was hot again. You say, who can not support them? ”

Speaking of lifelessness, the living god Noy Esas knows the most - isn't this the case with the once prosperous Lancas, the main island of the Twin Moons Church?

His friend Hermrita, in order to allow the fishermen to go to sea, went out of his way to transfer money and labor from the general storehouse of the Church to build stoves for the boats, and then allowed all the boats to go out to sea to fish—but was this useful? Naturally, Noyesas didn't want to ask what the outcome was, but he could tell from the nervous face on Hermarita's face when she read the report.

During that time, even if a fisherman caught enough fish, he could only sell some of them for his own consumption. In this case, he and Hermarita can be said to be puzzled: what exactly went wrong? The lack of food is, of course, made up for by fisheries. But why can't even the fishermen sell the fish they catch now?

Of course, now Neu Esas understands a little bit. In otherworldly parlance, it is "the economy of the Bimonthly Church is in recession." But what exactly is the reason for the decline? How to go about it? Noysas didn't know yet, but there was no doubt that he wanted to know more than to continue like the rotten wood.

"Well, of course there are people who don't want to support them anymore." Neesas pulled his thoughts out of his musings and replied calmly. "There are only two possibilities, the Elta people who have lost their privileges in Elta, and ...... It's the other faction of our Bilunar Church, the main battle faction that has always been out of step with me. Damn it, it's a shame for me to be in the company of such unscrupulous shit. ”

"Well, we all know the former...... For example, the general Perrier, whose son was hanged at the city gates, didn't he lose all his privileges? …… By the way, he was also the agent of the Twin Moons during the Elta period. ”

Speaking of this, the eyes of the big businessman Krona couldn't help but reveal a little fresh horror.

"Mr. Taliaos. I suppose that, by your reasoning, this must have something to do with General Perrier. ”

Noy Isaas nodded vigorously. There was a familiar smell in the city from the beginning, and it was his reasonable assumption that there must have been soldiers from the Church of the Two Moons who did not flee back to the island and still lived here.

If General Perrier didn't make trouble, these deserters would be able to hide their identities and become civilians in Elta, but unfortunately General Perrier would have come up with some tricks - it is difficult to conclude that the remnants of the Church of the Two Moons have clean hands.
