Groups of cavalry galloped out of Nanhai Town, and they rushed to every inhabited village and bazaar in the land. Notices stamped with the seal of the Southern Theater Command and the seal of the Nanhai Town City Hall were posted on the bulletin board.

The loitering Hillsbrads crowded around...

"The syndicate dregs that roam the countryside and pastures are the enemies of our Hillsbrads. They destroy our pastures, take our livestock from the sheepfolds, cattle pens and stables on our farms, and take away our property. They broke down our wooden doors, entered our homes, and robbed us of our copper and silver coins, and took everything of value, even the copper-skinned lampposts. ”

The announcer shouted loudly as he walked through the streets, attracting the attention of everyone around him, and a crowd of people surrounded him wherever he went. He grabbed a farmer who was passing by and roared loudly into his ear.

"The most hateful thing is that they kill the men in every one of our families. Our women and girls, snatch our boys to do coolies for them or be one of them!! ”

"But now! Their retribution is coming!! Throwing away the man in his hand, the dry-mouthed announcer took a sip of a water bladder from his bosom, and then agitated to everyone around him, "It doesn't matter if it's a Hillsbrad!" Or an adventurer from a foreign country! As long as you can kill a syndicate bandit, you will receive 10 credits! Yes! You heard it right! Just kill a syndicate bandit and you'll get 10 credits! ”

Stopping at the fork in the road, the announcer shouted at the top of his throat.

"The people of Hillsbrad are brave! I know you've all had experience with banditry! But now here's your chance!! Not only will this give you revenge, but it will also earn you a lot of bounty! That's 10 credits! 10 credits! An Alterac goat cub costs only 3 credits! This will increase the number of goats in your sheepfold! Get your wives and children to buy some decent clothes! ”

"Excited? Excited? The sharp-eyed announcer saw that some of the adventurer's outfits were about to leave, and he continued to shout at the throat of the broken gong, "Don't worry... The biggest surprise is yet to come!! I have some more exciting news for you! ”

Sure enough, the adventurers in the crowd stopped, and they held back their anxiety and listened to the rambling of this flirtatious fellow.

"Sheep that produce milk are definitely more expensive than sheep that can't. In the same way, some of the scoundrels in the Scintica's bunch of scum are the biggest enemies who command the scum to kill our families! For this kind of scum, our Lord Harvey gave a higher bounty amount!! ”

"Balkans! Don't talk nonsense, you tell us! How much are they worth!! Someone in the crowd shouted impatiently, and for a while the crowd was talking.

Balkan smiled, scratched the gray hair over his ears, and said with a grin, "Hey! Hi! Hi! Don't worry, I told you this news from Master Mabrai. Anyone else who wants to know this will have to go to the bulletin board and see for themselves! ”

More and more people gathered, blocking the entrances and exits of the streets. Many people stood under the eaves of the shops on either side, listening to the news of the Balkans.

"Humph! Lord Harvey is the biggest lord of our Lordaeron, and we can't imagine the amount of gold in his hand! He decided to make this bounty announcement in order to rid us of the mutilation of the syndicate scum as soon as possible! ”

"Okay, no more nonsense! Listen up, y'all! Balkan coughed a few times, and everyone around him looked at him silently. Kill a syndicate villain like Krabat and you'll be rewarded with a bounty of 20 credits. That's the price of an Elvin calf! If you want to expand the number of cows on your farm, it's worth the effort! ”

"The lucky one who killed the Syndicate boss, well, not yet. But that's a lot of money! You can get a bounty of 50 credits! 50 credits! You heard it right! That's a real sum of money for you untouchables who came out of the flea nest! You can buy a small plot of land around Nanhai Town and start your own family! Don't worry about the adults of the garrison staring at you every day! ”

"Hey! Hi! Hi! Don't be in a hurry! And that's not all! Balkan grinned as he looked at the periphery trying to leave, and people had to resist the urge to punch him in the face and knock his disgusting yellow fangs out of his mouth, and stay where he was to continue.

"I'm sure you've all heard that behind the scum of the Syndicate, there are the nobles of the former Alterac Kingdom who are doing evil. This time, they're going to be punished! Our Lord Harvey has decided to want them! If any of you can catch them, you'll get 10-100 coins!! ”

Wow! There was a cry of surprise in the crowd, and everyone was shocked by this strange Lord Harvey and his bounty amount!!

Let these free people and poor people kill the nobles, this head can't be opened, this is what Locke deliberately ignores. If this head is officially opened among all the poor, it will be tantamount to opening Pandora's box. The mystery and the coercion of the superior will slowly disappear from the nobility, and the poor will gradually discover that the nobility is nothing more than that.

So, it's changed....

When it comes to cutting off the heads of nobles, Locke feels that he still has to do it himself. Others are afraid that they have no right and do not dare to do so.

"Balkans! Didn't you drink too much wine at Panna's and deliver the wrong message? ”

"Are you deceiving us by adding a zero to the end of 10?"

The people quickly calmed down, and if they were rewarded with 100 gold coins just by catching an Alterac nobleman who participated in the rebellion, everyone didn't mind trying their luck. But no matter how you look at it, it's not very real.

At a time when most low-level people only earn about 5 silver coins a week, what is the concept of 100 gold coins?! Ordinary people need to save 2,000 weeks without eating or drinking to save so much money! It will take more than 38 years for them to make so much money!

What is the purchasing power of this amount of gold?

In this world, gold is not really a unit of trade. The huge amount of copper and silver coins is the currency traded by the lowest people. Gold coins are mostly the currency used for large amounts of goods and large transactions between countries. More often than not, the gold coins lie in the vault, in a static state.

If you want to check the purchasing power, it is easy to convert gold coins into silver and copper coins. Transactions between civilians were mostly used in the form of a mix of large quantities of copper coins and a small amount of silver coins.

You know, an apple is worth less than a copper coin. Sometimes 2-3 apples can be sold for 1 copper coin. After all, apples are so productive that the apples that once had been in the Tirisfal Glades and Fireplace Valley are still unattended on the ground. It can only be used to make wine or fed to ranch livestock like Hillsbrad.

Most of the clothes worn by the civilians were made of linen, and a roll of linen from Alwyn was worth 10 copper coins. Larger clothes, such as long skirts, only need 3-5 rolls of linen to weave. A roll of linen might be enough for an ordinary man's clothes, tops and shorts.

This is also the reason why linen woven primary color clothes are cheaper, because there is no need to color, only some manual fees need to be paid. The value of dyed clothes is different, because the price of dyes has always been calculated in silver coins.

Converting 100 gold coins to silver coins is 10,000 coins. Because of Locke's crossing, some things that shouldn't have appeared also appeared in advance in this world.

For example, real estate....

In the past, it was only in the royal cities or cities of the human kingdom that there were transactions of land and houses. But now, the trade is slowly spreading in the small outlying towns of Iva as well.

The invasion of the undead by natural disasters has made everyone pay attention to security issues, which has also injected vitality into real estate transactions.

The town hall was built in the town around Iva to house the Crusader soldiers, with only one floor and an interior area of less than 150 square meters.

It may be that the initial capital market was not large, or it may be that Shiloh did not estimate the impact of real estate on civilians. She strictly stipulates that the houses here are sold for between 300 and 500 silver coins. Locke, who learned the news, was a little commotional, but finally suppressed it.... The house is no longer a problem for him ....

This price is also much cheaper because it is located on the outskirts of Iwa. Of course, in a deserted wilderness, no one can limit the size of a house. As long as it's not the domain of some noble, you can build it as you like, as long as you don't worry about security....

So, these coins were enough to buy more than 30 houses in the outlying towns of Iva and live on the burgeoning housing market.

Many people are reluctant to buy their own home, preferring to invest their money elsewhere. For example, the Goblin Venture Capital Company, as well as other venture capital companies that mention some human businessmen, choose to eat dividends every month and rent a house for 50-1 silver coins per week. However, these houses may not be large enough, and they may even have to be shared with some people...

In fact, these changes around Iva are subtly affecting everyone. But no one knew, and Locke, who was happy to see these changes, naturally ignored its effects.

And in Nanhai Town, 20 silver coins can be used around the town to apply to the town hall for the land you like. For a plot of land of nearly 300 square meters, you can hire your own stonemasons and carpenters to build a house on the foundation, and the cost of stone and wood is about 100-150 silver coins.

In order to collect the deed tax, the local town halls encouraged the freedmen to buy land.

100 gold coins may not be much for a nobleman. Hereditary domains and income from other sources have allowed them to increase their wealth every year. But for civilians, this is a huge sum of money that can change their family situation and status!

That's why, the people of Nanhai Town will question the proclamator Balkan.

"Phew!" The Balkans spat on the ground! He looked at the people around him viciously, some of them were blackened with some yellow teeth, and said to them, "If it weren't for the propaganda of these things for you illiterate fools, I would have gone out looking for my money!" ”

"Lord Harvey is the greatest lord of Lordaeron! Is there any falsehood in what he said? Hum! I'm telling you, I've seen Lord Harvey with my own eyes! The utensils he eats are made of gold! ”

"Master Harvey is in our Nanhai Town right now! If you find any of the Alterac nobles who betrayed us in Lordaeron, you might as well take them to Lord Harvey and see if what I said is true! ”

In the distance, Locke, dressed in civilian clothes, looked awkwardly at the announcer who boasted about himself, saying that he really looked like he had seen himself with his own eyes.
