Chapter 1597, Progressive Governance
It turns out that the city center is indeed better, but that's about it.
The whole street is still dirty, and on both sides of the street, the glass of many shops has been smashed, it seems that it should have been visited by robbers, but it is much better than the perimeter.
After a circle, copying a fluent Europa, Luo Ji quietly got a lot of information.
This port city began to have a shortage of food more than two months ago, and the price of food in this entire area has increased more than five times in a short period of time!
However, the price is no longer important, because the current situation, for ordinary citizens, has entered a point where you can't buy food even if you have money.
The scarcity of various materials has caused the Europa player's territory to depreciate significantly even the currency, and even a large denomination banknote falls on the ground, just like garbage and waste paper on the side of the road, no one may pick it up......
"Let's go, go in and have a look."
"Young master, let's send someone over here to see it later."
Wang Kai, who was standing on the side, said with a cautious face.
He and Luo Yunxi are naturally not afraid, but what if something happens to their majesty?
In this regard, Luo Ji directly patted Wang Kai on the shoulder and said......
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
After speaking, Luo Ji walked directly towards the alley in front of him.
The deep open space in this alley is a black market, and there are at least five or six black markets like this in this port city now, and this news was learned by Luo Ji from a local old man before.
As mentioned earlier, in this environment, the currency has depreciated significantly, and no one is willing to sell you the goods now, even if you offer a price several times more than the original price.
Nowadays, the city's trading methods have returned to a mode of bartering, and the black market in this alley also exists for this reason.
There are really a lot of people coming and going in this black market, and the appearance of Luo Ji and the three of them did not attract the attention of many people, even if someone occasionally notices them, at most they just glance at them, and then continue to do their own things.
Many people who brought goods just sat on the ground and started business.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning here that these people who dare to enter this black market have a common characteristic, that is, each of them carries a gun.
There are even many stall owners who set up stalls and put a rifle loaded with ammunition under their noses, which is not only to protect themselves, but also to deter some guys with bad intentions.
This made Luo Ji have to sigh in his heart, it really deserves to be a free country, in his Ten Thousand Realms civilization, ordinary civilians don't say they have guns, even if they are knives and crossbows, they must be strictly controlled.
In this black market, Luo Ji walked slowly, while Wang Kai and Luo Yunxi followed him one left and one right, inch by inch.
He didn't mean to take the initiative to go up and talk, to get information in the black market, sometimes you don't need to ask at all, just listen.
From those exchanges between buyers and sellers, it was enough for him to obtain a lot of information.
After going around, Luo Ji has a preliminary understanding of the entire black market.
There are really all that sell, and there are even guns and bullets that are sold, of course, there are not many of them, and at the same time the bullets are still sold by the piece, and the price is not cheap.
However, the most expensive and sought-after items on the black market are undoubtedly food and medical supplies.
Even if there is no clear trademark on the board, it is suspected that the tablets produced by illegal factories are not cheap, and if you want to buy them, you have to pay a lot of price.
And canned food that has quite good nutritional value and can be stored for a long time is even more sought-after.
Luo Ji saw that many people who were relatively wealthy before the outbreak of the war took a string of jewelry necklaces that were worth a lot of money at a glance, and wanted to exchange them for a can, but the other party was not necessarily happy.
In the long run, some jewelry can naturally maintain its value to a certain extent, but the problem is that in the current situation, it is a question whether this day can survive or not, if it can't survive, then this jewelry necklace will have no meaning.
After returning to the military camp that was his front-line stronghold, Luo Ji, who was also fully aware of the situation in the city, quickly issued an order and began to send troops to maintain law and order in the city.
This port city, as an important front-line stronghold for him, must be well governed.
At the same time, if the almost dilapidated port city is to restore productivity, the first priority is to take over the city's factories.
And once you have a factory, it is definitely necessary to have the appropriate technology and employees who can provide labor.
These employees undoubtedly had to be found from the citizens of this port city.
As for the pay, it's simple!
Now in this city, food is more valuable than money, and Luo Ji's civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds has never been short of food, so he only needs to give a promise of two meals, and there will definitely be a lot of people willing to work for him.
And the result is true, after Luo Ji ordered this matter to continue, and then announced it through the city's radio and notices, the registration point set up was crowded with a large number of citizens the next day.
Fortunately, he was prepared and arranged enough manpower in advance, otherwise, he would really not be able to cope with it at this moment.
As for the recruitment and arrangement of positions in the future, there is no need for him to worry about it.
In the final analysis, for these citizens, who can give them a bite to eat, who is their food and clothing, and who cares about what camp is not the problem?
Of course, some diehards are not excluded, but Luo Ji doesn't care at all.
That kind of guy, after all, is only a minority, and the vast majority of people in this world will not be unable to live with their own lives.
And what he needs to do now is to contact his wife, and then trade a lot of food supplies.
The warehouse where the barracks hoarded food resources was actually very large, but Luo Ji still felt that it was not enough, so he asked the soldiers to vacate a few buildings and use them all to stock up on grain.
After making up the space, Luo Ji only needed to go inside, open his backpack, and throw the grain traded from Ye Qingxuan out one by one.
In less than half a day's work, all the granaries in the barracks were full.
And for this kind of situation, the soldiers of the Ten Thousand Realms Civilization have long been accustomed to it, after all, from ancient times to the present, no one thinks that their majesty is an ordinary person.
