Chapter 4: Resources must be used rationally

Since yesterday, Shelley's various words and deeds have left his entourage at a loss for how to respond.

It was just a matter of cleaning the filthy slaves, and there was still physical contact with them later, and what they didn't expect was that Shelley actually arranged for them to go to the same table with everyone, and even did not sit on the top seat himself, but moved to the youngest Momo and dined with him. Of course, because she was by her side, Momo really didn't dare to eat, so she had to give up.

After the end, Shelley actually arranged a single room for them, in the face of such treatment, Nika and Momo were so moved that they couldn't even speak, as for Owen, although he always looked like he was obedient to the rules, but after getting these treatments from Shelley, his expression was also a little panicked.

You must know that before this, they all slept in the stable, ate dregs, and lived a life without clothes and food every day. The sudden change was a real surprise for them.

Even more at a loss were the entourage who were even more blindfolded than them, not only did not understand Shelley's attitude towards the filthy slaves, but also did not understand the few orders issued later.

Shelley fought in the room for a night, and the next day he gathered everyone again with a pair of dark circles.

"Well, yes, it's still looking like it today."

Seeing that everyone was standing in the courtyard neatly dressed, he had already changed a little for the better. Although they will still be far away from the three filthy slaves.

"Before I get into the next few things, I think it's better to be clear. In the days to come, I will make many arrangements that you cannot understand. In a straight way, these arrangements are all for us to make this Joy Town a better place, so I need you to do exactly what I tell you to do. Got it? ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess."

Shelley nodded, it was still the best feeling of uniformity, it was in vain that she had been training for an hour yesterday.

"Morley, I order you to take half of the guards to transport the 500 gold coins we have in stock to Canterlot, exchange them all for copper coins, and bring my edict to Duke Pokadot, asking them to exchange all the tax dividends they send every month in the future for the equivalent of copper coins. Considering the large amount of copper coins that can be converted, I allow you to divert a certain amount of money to buy horses and carts. ”

"But Your Highness the Princess, the gold coins are of high value and easy to keep. Why waste this effort to exchange it for copper coins? ”

"Stupid! In this Joyless Town, can you use the gold? ”

Shelley's rhetorical question left Morley somewhat speechless. Yes, in this ghost place, most people have never seen gold coins in their lives, even silver coins are very few, and the vast majority of people have copper coins stored in their homes. And because of the extremely low productivity, eighty percent of the transactions in the town were bartered, and these copper coins were used to buy goods or trade in other towns.

A gold coin is equivalent to 10,000 copper coins, if you buy something worth one copper coin, then there are 9,999 copper coins left, how can people get it back? If this is the case, how can money still circulate in the market? How can the economy go up? How can production get started?

"I understand Your Highness Princess, I will do exactly what you ask."

Shelley nodded and began to arrange the second thing: "During Morley's absence, the remaining half of the guards went to help me investigate the population information of Wule Town, not only by name, gender, and age, but also by asking them about their professional skills and whether they are educated, well~~ It is to ask them if they are literate." As for the person in charge of this......"

Shelley's eyes fell on a person, and the moment Shelley stared at him, Hans felt his cheeks become hot again. Yes, he's the unlucky guy who was late yesterday and insulted the slave and was slapped by Shelley in the end. At this time, he said with a bitter face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I can't do this. ”

"If people don't push themselves, how do they know they can't do it? Besides...... Do you think I've been deflated by yesterday's events? As he spoke, Shelley's face began to turn cold, "Give you the opportunity to make up for your merits, but you don't cherish it, don't you want to be a guard?" ”

"No, no, no, there is no such thing, I ...... Yes, Princess, Hans will complete your mission! Hans made a knightly salute and took the order head-on.

A hint of mischievous flashed in Shelley's eyes, and then he said to the maids on standby, "This third mission is entrusted to you, and I ask you to go to Canterlot with Morley. Help me collect books, listen well, it's about physical introductions, preferably about animals and plants, Warcraft, and aliens. It would be best if you could find geography books, but not mandatory. As for literature and teaching books, they are not allowed. If you want to have the funds, let Morley transfer them to you. ”

The previous Shelley stayed in the palace all year round, and he didn't know anything else except literacy etiquette, so naturally there would be no useful memories for the current Shelley to inherit. So she can only use stupid methods to collect books from the people.

Because there is no good printing technology in this world, not even papermaking, there is no such thing as a bookstore, and every book is very precious. Even if Shelley asked them to look for it, he couldn't expect them to find it, but they still had to work hard.

"In the end, it's the three of you." Shelley was about to speak, but he noticed the bad eyes that everyone threw at them, and said angrily, "I think anyone with a little emotional intelligence should be able to see that I don't discriminate against their so-called filth, and you all have such an attitude, do you want to slap me?" ”

"Don't dare to ......," everyone bowed their heads.

"It's quite crisp to answer, but it's not that you don't dare to say that you don't dare, but you're scolding in your heart?"

Seeing that the crowd lowered their heads a little more, Shelley got up from his chair and walked through the gap in the crowd.

"Okay, I'll make some things clear to you today. Listen, with me, there is no such thing as filth, all people are equal. As long as you are my retinue, you will definitely do it one day in the future. I will not ask you to do it now, but this concept is buried in each of you for me, and your attitude towards them in the future must give me a little closer to this goal. Got it? ”

"Yes! Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"Since we have said that we want to be equal, we can no longer call you filth." Shelley came to the three of them, drew his dagger, and tapped it on the shoulders of the three under the surprised gaze of everyone, "I, Shelley Lean, as the third princess of the Lean Kingdom, give you the status of a superpower, the same level as a citizen. and appointed Owen as the captain of the Super Knights, and Momo and Nika as the first batch of Cavaliers members, enjoying the same pay as the general Cavaliers, and directly dispatched by me. Above! ”

This sudden happiness is like a pie falling from the sky, smashing the three of them, some of the things that happened yesterday are already like a dream, and now they are not only recognized by the princess to get rid of the status of filthy slaves, but also become the princess's direct knights. What could be more dreamy?

Seeing that the three of them didn't react at all, Shelley reminded loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze?" What about your knightly rituals? Not satisfied with my arrangement? ”

Under her reminder, the three of them realized, and hurriedly knelt down on their right knee, put their hands on their left knee, and said in unison: "Thank you for the gift of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
