Chapter 103: Big Trouble

Three days.

Zhu Ping took all his soldiers and horses and began to sweep all the lands that originally belonged to the king of Orlanton.

Unlike other forces, Zhu Ping doesn't care if someone steals the base camp.

Strictly speaking, where is he, where is the base camp?

All the food and all the steel in the palace were constantly moving with the army, and anything in the palace that was valuable and not good to carry was burned with a fire.

……

Meanwhile.

These days, the financial crisis in Orlanton has erupted!

Not only the gold coins in Zhu Ping's hands, but also the "heritage" of many nobles, all flowed into the trade market of Orlanton in large quantities in a short period of time.

Coupled with the large-scale recruitment of soldiers before Zhu Ping, the nobles of the king's faction competed for bidding, and the value of the commoners themselves continued to increase.

In addition, Zhu Ping secretly purchased grain and integrated the royal territory, resulting in a shortage of food in the market.

The fire of economic fluctuations was poured with countless barrels of hot oil.

As a result, the entire economic system collapsed directly!

In the past, a dozen copper coins for ordinary people could make people eat a "decent meal", but now it has tripled, and middle-income people can spend a silver coin to fill their stomachs.

Fifty copper coins could have employed a "low-level worker," but now it's at least seven or eight times as much.

The self-proud "heritage" of the aristocracy is undergoing a depreciation with almost no bottom line.

The barons who sold antiques looked at the antique calligraphy and paintings in their hands and silently shed tears.

The two barons, Ruichi and Manny, who opened the casino, wanted to cry without tears, because they hired a large number of thugs to open the casino, but they had not opened for so long, and the daily food expenses were not small, which made them feel painful.

So these people got together and asked the two viscounts to clean up the environment in the capital city of Orlanton.

Viscount Lin Zheng didn't panic at all, and said with a light smile: "Don't worry, the Holy Country Master said that there is an invisible force in the market, although there are fluctuations for a while, but it will eventually subside." ”

"But when will it be calmed down! If this continues, my casino won't be able to survive! The anxiety on Baron Manny's face did not seem to be fake.

The other nobles were just that, he was really in a hurry, because during the holy duel, he threw half of his working capital into it.

It's all in vain.

As a result, his current cash flow is very difficult.

Speaking of money, of course he still has money, but those money and properties are the heritage of the nobility, and they cannot be used until a critical moment.

Lin Zheng didn't panic at all, and said comfortingly: "What are you worried about? Not to mention the invisible forces that stabilize the market, let's not forget that the merchant ships of the Kingdom of Gaia are also about to arrive.

When the time comes, there will be high-quality and inexpensive food to sell, and you won't be able to support your subordinates when the time comes? ”

Viscount Xiao Nong, who was originally not very familiar with business, so he had not spoken, also smiled and said, "There is also that guy Hall, he has more than 8,000 people under his command.

And at the time of the autumn harvest, the king's land was swept over.

In a month or two, when he has eaten up the reserves in the king's granary, what will he do? ”

Of course, these two viscounts did not panic in their hearts, because they had a large amount of arable land in their hands, and when the autumn harvest began, the higher the price of grain, the more they earned.

……

At the same time, Zhu Ping was still busy.

These days, he is not just a squire, after all, the autumn harvest season is approaching, and Zhu Ping took out a lot of money to "schedule" the grain that is about to be harvested.

As for how to plan the land as a whole, because time has passed so long, Zhu Ping has regained five text messages for energy storage.

Of course, this kind of "little thing" has to be asked to go back to my hometown!

So he stood on the high ground of Orlanton and took a distant photo of Orlanton with a text message.

Moreover, these days he is not just wandering around the countryside, but also collecting data in each village.

For example, the annual output of previous years, as well as the farmer's estimate of the yield, and the wasteland caused by "enclosures and lands......

Write down the values on a map of Orlandon, and send them a second photo of the crop specimens on the table.

Professional things need to be done by professional people.

The storage, transportation, and management of grain are modeled by computer, and the budget of various bigwigs is carried out in various ways to calculate the most reasonable distribution method.

You must know that in ancient times, when disaster relief was carried out, the grain transported from the rich areas to the disaster area was eventually lost.

Are they all greedy?

Not necessarily, the loss of grain when it is harvested and loaded by farmers, the cost of storing grain, and the cost of transportation along the way due to lack of proper planning......

Half, if not more than half, of the food is wasted on the road.

Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, the amount of food consumed meaninglessly every year is an astronomical amount.

The eldest does not say the second, it is the same in every country.

In about half a day, Zhu Ping received a letter from his hometown, which was full of obscure symbols, although he could understand every word, and he could understand it together, but after reading it for a long time, he was a little dizzy.

It's like the most terrifying high math in college, and it's going to hang people again!

After Zhu Ping "copied" it on paper, he roughly understood the idea of the letter.

……

In the text message, in addition to the food collection standards of various regions, there are also some things he should do now.

That is to "open a factory"!

Because sacks are needed to collect grain, pallet trucks are needed to transport grain, and construction is required to hold grain......

This large gap in demand can promote the start of light industry.

Not only that, but his hometown also specified the development plan of the factory and the standard of various expenses according to his current grain reserves.

The low-level people who lost their land and could not afford to eat in the capital were arranged clearly.

Although it will not make them rich, it is absolutely fine to make them afford to eat.

……

Zhu Ping returned to the ruins of the royal city and immediately started the infrastructure business.

Eight thousand soldiers serve as soldiers when they fight, and when they are not fighting, they are divided into three shifts, one for high-intensity combat training, one for voluntary labor, and half for low-intensity training and rest.

In the case of three shifts, the efficiency is still amazingly fast, and the foundation is compacted in just a few days, and at the same time, there are many workers who know how to build in the army.

Not to mention ordinary single-storey factories, even high-rise small castles have been built by themselves.

The soldiers trust Zhu Ping, so they are willing to contribute labor, and this kind of subjective initiative cannot be controlled by another person other than Zhu Ping.

If you only mention righteousness, it will make people feel unconvinced, and only talk about personal interests.

The United Company belongs to everyone, so the soldiers will contribute labor and "surplus value" even for personal gain, in order to get better treatment in the company.

This is where the advantages of a zero-sum game cannot match.

And when Zhu Ping's joint factory started, Zhu Ping encountered unprecedented trouble.

……

In the early morning, the dense crowd of civilians huddled in makeshift tents on the shopping street was just the beginning.

As soon as the dew was dried by the morning light, the tent burst out.

At this time, Zhu Ping, who was hiding in the distance, was stunned, and the entire commercial street was filled with dense crowds, including men and women, old and young, and even a few people who dragged their families.

If I'm not mistaken, there are probably tens of thousands of people here.

Tens of thousands of people applied for the job.

This meeting made Zhu Ping a little cordial, just like a job fair in his hometown, but the hometown is large, and this is just a narrow street.

But that's not the point, the point is that there are too many people, close to three or four times the budget, and if so many people are not properly arranged, it will become a big problem.

It is not impossible to even directly trigger a riot.

Zhu Ping swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered, "Trouble is coming, what should I do this time?"

When my hometown was making a budget, I didn't expect that a small half of the people in the capital would appear here, so couldn't it be that other nobles didn't hire people? ”

Zhu Ping would not think that all these civilians came because of their noble qualities.

Ordinary people have limited ability to receive information, no money in their hands, and low ability to resist risks, and they will never give up the full food in front of them because of the so-called ideals.

Poetry and the distance are only worthy of people who have no worries about food and clothing, and the people at the bottom only have what is in front of them, and they can only have what is in front of them.

Zhu Ping looked at the civilians who shouldn't have appeared here, and couldn't help but be anxious, and said, "What should I do!" ”

[Zhu Ping, Zhu Ping, can you hear me? ] 】
