Chapter 657: Unclear
Mortals are mortals, mortals do not have a superior vision, they cannot see the development and changes of the world, they can only pay attention to the shortcomings of their parents and their own small interests. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Mortals are just mortals, they don't have extraordinary talents, they don't have vast knowledge, all they can do is do the same work year after year, and accumulate a little experience in repetitive work, and these are what they are capable of supporting their families.
Mortals also lack lofty ideals and goals, they have no plan for life, they can't see what they need, they are just satisfied with what they have gained, and they are complacent about their insignificant achievements.
Mortals have less sense of crisis, their family is only a small circle, the slightest turmoil, disease or disaster will bring them a catastrophe, and they can only struggle in pain after being shattered.
But the most in this world are still mortals, they occupy the least resources, but pay the most labor, they are small, but they strive to live, they are humble, but full of hope.
Mortals are like weeds, if they are given a little sunshine, they will sprout, and if they are given a little warmth, they will be brilliant.
Really, for mortals, they really don't ask for much, it is enough to have a life and be able to pray for a better life.
Aso, he was a mortal who had climbed up from the bottom, and he knew far more than anyone else what it took to be a mortal.
And now, all he has planned and put into practice is to give mortals a path that can see expectations.
Of course, the focus is different, and what can be seen is also different, these days, the government officials, tax collectors, nobles and big merchants of Ilmassu City are more concerned about the magic of the 'paper money'.
Yes, it's all a little inexplicable...... Magical!
The tax collectors who managed the expenditure of wealth swore that in the beginning, so much gold and silver money was spent from the treasury that they began to worry about whether the next month's salary would be paid in full.
But when the 'banknotes' were used, wealth began to flow back and remained at a certain amount, no matter how busy it was outside, and how much was spent, at least there was no less than a certain amount of money in the treasury.
The administrative officials who manage the various shops also advertise that although the selling price of the shops in their stores is one-tenth cheaper than the market price, they only make a little less money than the lower purchase price, and with the huge influx of workers, their daily profits are particularly objective.
As for the clerks of the engineering teams, the small incentives made the refugees burst with unimaginable enthusiasm, as if they were tirelessly completing the assigned work, and working overtime on their own initiative to fight for the next day's task.
And some businessmen began to take stock of how much the newly built houses would be worth and how much they were worth, and the houses in Ilmassu City never worried about not being able to sell, and in the past two years of the surging tide of demons, they have turned over by an unknown amount.
The great nobles stood higher, received more comprehensive information, and could see more, but they were also more inexplicable.
The city became clean and tidy, the donkeys, horses and livestock were planned to a fixed location, the transplanted trees filled the air with fragrance, and after the war, the devastated ruins began to be transformed into beautiful houses and wide streets.
They even heard that in the plan of the government affairs department, this kind of construction will not be limited to the war-stricken areas this time, but will be extended downwards until all the shantytowns are renovated.
And then what?
The refugees are not dead either, they are motivated and energetic to create a new look for the city, and in the process they strive to integrate into the city, and they have also been recognized by the indigenous people for their hard work.
Along with their stability, the most direct manifestation is the rapid improvement of the law and order environment in Ilmassu City.
After all, an indispensable part of family education is the construction and management of the territory, but they also understand that the promotion of this huge plan requires more wealth.
The territory of the nobility was originally carved out in the wilderness, and every country had a decree of 'frontier', but few families were willing to do so, because when they opened up their territory, they not only had to face all kinds of ferocious monsters, unknown dangers, and the incalculable wealth, manpower and materials invested in the first place.
And Aso, the seemingly obese fat man, replaced this huge wealth with just a piece of inferior magic paper, and everything returned to a virtuous circle.
In fact, at the latest meeting, the statistical report from several clerks made it clear that, at the current pace of construction, the renovation of the city would be completed in four to six months, and the final house would be sold to refugees at a certain price, which would bring a very considerable income to the town hall.
That's really ...... I don't know how to feel it!
Because I can't understand it, I am in awe.
Although Asso is still the fat man, although he still likes to laugh before he speaks, but with this method of 'making something out of nothing', the previous Chancellor of the Exchequer, Elive-Arthur, was simply weak in front of him.
All the nobles didn't dare to underestimate him anymore, and all the clerks and tax collectors were also cautious in front of him, and they could be considered to understand that although Muen was only an illegitimate child, he never relied on the Igor family.
No matter where he and his legion of glory are, there will naturally be a world.
Naturally, Aso wouldn't tell anyone that he had only read a book called 'Currency Wars', and had only discussed with Muen about the feasibility and merits of paper money.
Of course, the emergence of real 'paper money' requires certain conditions, and if one is not handled well and is used by someone with intentions, it will also cause great damage.
However, Asso never thought of issuing paper money officially, he just built a small closed trading circle with his absolute authority to cope with the lack of wealth, and he would discard the utility of these notes in due course.
But for now, the effect is still very significant.
Of course, Asso also understands that the extent he can achieve this level depends more on the abundant material and human resources of Ilmassu City, as well as absolute authority.
And the shaping of absolute authority has always come not from construction, but from killing.
After the war, the reckoning was inevitable, especially this time the city of Ilmassu was facing a civil war, and the purge storm led by the Minister of War Eliad has not stopped until now.
After all, it involved the Minister of War and the Minister of State, and now there are 17 nobles who have been arrested, totaling more than 500 people, including two hereditary earls and five viscounts.
However, the specific decision on their disposal still needs to wait for Mu En to wake up, and the major temples are also a big trouble.
As for the rioters who have been captured, or who have been arrested, there is nothing to say, although Muen is still asleep, but according to the practice of the Igor family, he is directly disposed of.
The so-called convention is actually a phrase often said by the Igor family: the rose battle flag is always dyed red with blood.
That is...... No mercy!
As a result, the blood on the torture table never dried up.
So Venal Jr. fulfilled his promise by cutting off the heads of thirty-five Chaos cultists with his own hands and sacrificing their heads to his father.
So, outside the city gate, the Jingguan piled up with the heads of the rebels was more than ten meters high!
