7 The depressed economy of a defeated country

"Before I left, taxes were calculated in 'Dak'. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Is it all about gold now?" complained Frederick.

Lancelot and the other three knights looked at each other, and while they were speechless, the door of the beer hall creaked open, and a group of sweaty technicians burst in, and without saying a word, they swarmed to the bar, slapped a wad of fresh, brittle banknotes on the oak bar, and rudely shouted to Madame Mary, "It's a salary increase!

Madame Mary wiped her glass carefully, did not count the money, only glanced contemptuously at the pile of brand-new banknotes, then withdrew her gaze, and continued to wipe the glass slowly: "The price of beer has also gone up, and you don't have enough money." ”

The technician pushed the money, opened his eyes wide, and shouted: "You can see clearly, this denomination is one million daks, a total of 160 million! How can the salary just paid yesterday not be enough to buy beer?"

Madame Mary raised her head and motioned to the technician to read the blackboard: "You can see clearly, the price of beer has also increased, 40 million ducks a glass." What are you doing with 100 million on my desk?"

When the technician saw the marked price, he was immediately blindfolded, looked at each other for a while, looked at Madame Mary, and stammered inarticulately: "You black-hearted woman, why is the price increase so fast?

was muttering, and the technicians behind him had already scraped together 300 million, piling up on the table with pride, and comforting each other peacefully: "Isn't it just 300 million, let's make money quickly, tens of millions of dollars per minute, I don't care about this little money." Grab a beer, it's hot to death. ”

As he spoke, the accountant of the beer hall came back sweating profusely, handed Madame Mary a thin stack of foreign currency, and then worked tirelessly to find the chalk, tiptoed the words on the blackboard to "BH beer 60 million dacs a cup", and said to Madame Mary as he wrote: "There is a long queue outside the bank's foreign exchange window, and it is too difficult to exchange 'furlan'." All bakeries have been accepting only foreign currency since last week, not Daks. Let's change it. ”

The bunch of technicians were still noisy and asking, "What's wrong?"

Madame Mary said impatiently, "He wrote, 'A glass of beer sixty million ducks.'" ’”

"The price is going up so fast!" the technician almost slapped the table.

Madame Mary dragged a garbage can, swept the 300 million daks on the table into the bucket, and scolded back without changing her face: "The bank has already issued a bill with a denomination of one billion, is it expensive to sell a glass of beer for 60 million? Is it expensive! My sister also wants to live, don't be angry at me, keep your temper and go back to urge the boss to raise her salary!"

The technicians groaned up and down their pockets, trying to scrape together money, and muttered, "But it's too expensive." It's going up too fast. ”

Madame Mary briskly pushed eight beers over, and then told the technicians, "Give you six discounts." Remember, once you've received your salary, you'll have to spend it within two hours. Don't do such a stupid thing as putting your salary for a day! The central bank has gone crazy, and the banks print money faster than you can make it. ”

"At least you still take Dark, Lady Maryβ€”you smoke, you drink, you put on makeup, but we all know you're a good girl." ”

Madame Mary kicked the vat back under the counter and wiped her glass and complained, "I can't afford to smoke." I can't afford to smoke anymore. The tavern is going out of business. ”

Lancelot saw Count Frederick gritting his teeth and closing his eyes, as if he was enduring suffering, and he couldn't help but empathize, sighed quietly, and rubbed his slippery beer glass with his chain mail gloves, and couldn't drink a sip of wine, and thought sadly: "His technicians are obviously working hard, but their daily salary is not enough to pay for a beer." Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, he knew that it was good to feel distressed. This time it was not in vain. ”

The technicians went to the table with their beers and muttered on the way: "The bakeries in my country refuse to accept the banknotes of the country, and the money bought for food has to be exchanged for the banknotes of foreigners -- what a sad life." ”

"Because foreigners' banknotes don't depreciate. ”

"The days of dying as slaves are worse than dying in war. ”

The discussion of the technicians made Count Frederick burn. He wanted to stand up and pay the mechanic's bill, but that didn't change anything. He had to think about the origin of the problem.

These disasters as a defeated country are a natural chain reaction, all of which began with the disappearance of Archduke William with the "Ideal Messenger" and the escape of the Duchy of Sirisha.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The outline of the secluded continent resembles a sugar triangle cake, cut into a triangle and an isosceles trapezoidal shape by the River Lane with a straight knife. The triangular territory west of the River Lane was occupied by the Fran Empire. The people of the Fran Empire are free and easy, and their minds are full of riding horses and artillery, but they really have a brave cavalry corps and a heavy artillery battalion, which makes people admire their ability to touch the bypass.

Since mating is the top priority of the Fran people, comparing fashion is the first priority of the Fran Empire. Since the Fran Empire was too busy with fashion shows to go east, the fifteen hundred states east of the Lane River were relieved. So the innumerable lords and kings of Hedong fought, fought with gratitude, still with tears in their eyes, and before the crusade and annexation, they did not forget to shout: In the name of Fran I!

Fort William, Bafaria, was one of those states that fought back and forth.

However, Bafaria was quite critical of the Fran Empire. Archduke William has repeatedly criticized everyone at the Council of Nations, and the central idea is: "The Habs royal family is the greatest and most orthodox royal family in the world, right? Habs III is still alive and healthy in the capital 'Wiener', do you not consider the feelings of the old emperor when you shout 'in the name of Fran I' to play hooligans with each other, and the hooligans must be done in accordance with the Basic Law, even if you don't have the orthodox royal family in your heart, at least you must talk about the orthodox royal family, 'For the glory of Habs III!' How many Habsian princesses and how many Habs nobles your parents have married, have you forgotten, you two-legged. ”

Well, this is not called serious criticism. This is called full-art taunt.

Although Archduke William was the cousin of Habs III, smashing the faces of the continental powers with such words also made Archduke William very maverick.

Immediately afterwards, Duke William was beaten by three states.

The geographical location is as follows: the Danno River flows perpendicular to the Lane River to the east, cutting horizontally, splitting the east mainland of the river into north and south banks. Bafaria and the Habs royal family are adjacent to each other and govern the south of the Yangtze River, the Bafarian in the southwest and the Fran Empire have only one river in the middle, across the water, which serves as a front-line fortress, and the Habs royal family in the southeast sits in Wiener and is responsible for the beauty of the flowers.
