As the eldest daughter of the Black Feather family, Hyakyu thought about a lot of things in the days when the family perished and the family was escorted to the enemy capital.

The whole escort journey was quite boring, except for walking and being beaten, and during this free time, there were many opportunities to think about what would happen after the family was ruined, as well as his own future.

Her consideration included the situation she was currently experiencing. Coerced by the enemy, working for it, and becoming an unscrupulous descendant and who abandoned his family and ancestors in the eyes of everyone.

People who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, but thinking too much about this kind of thing is still quite desperate. The worst that Hundred Tongues thought of was much worse than it was now, and he was ready for a nightmare to come true. Judging from the current situation, at least it is not the worst.

On the way to be escorted, in order to relieve his loneliness, Hyakyu fantasized about many things in his mind, such as the Patronus running to rescue him, and then telling himself that "the Sword Blade Plain has been recaptured". This incident was the most touching ending she could think of, until on the way to the escort, she heard that the army of the guardian spirit of her own country was killed by an earl named Zhou Shu of the enemy country......

Zhou Shu gave Bai Yu a task, asking her to take care of the city's restaurants first, organize businessmen to let go of the affairs of the private commercial houses in the city first, and support the catering industry first.

For the sake of this person who gave the order, and for his own stubbornness, he was unwilling to fail in the middle of the night, and ran to another well-known restaurant owner with a few small soldiers-

"Miss Count, are you really willing to lend me so much food?!"

The person visited by Hundred Tongues has a terrible reputation, and this is the last name on her list of partners to choose, so it is naturally an alternative.

The owner used to run a chain of restaurants called 'Mead', and there were many branches in the Plains of the Sword Blade, but this man opened the restaurant only under the guise of making money by reselling the land. He always had the ability to buy land from the common people at a very low price. It then became a chain of meadic restaurants and sold at a very high price.

This kind of business practice is not a big deal, even if it is pointed out. He was able to get the land he wanted by luring him into gambling to get the land he wanted, but this qiē was legal. At least the laws of Higashinokuni allow it.

The bad reputation of the mead boss comes from his usual hobbies. It is also a common hobby of men. Hundred Tongues didn't think that thing was bad anymore, because she saw something even worse. And the reputation of the people is ...... Thinking sadly for a moment, it seems that it won't be long before he will become a scumbag who is far beyond him, at least in the eyes of others.

In the face of the honey wine boss, Baiyu really didn't want to say even a word to him, but it was a pity that he was responsible.

After looking at this person a little, he looked well-dressed. In the current situation where there is even a shortage of water, the clothes are spotless and ironed. It seems that he is quite young and promising, and he will give people a very mature feeling at the age of thirty.

Hundred Tongues was sure that this guy was the owner of the mead restaurant, how many times had she seen it, and this person had given her the impression before. Now that the city has been broken for a long time, he can still maintain his previous temperament, and if he doesn't have those bad reputations, Baiyu will admire him. Look at yourself...... She subconsciously rubbed her beaten nose. With the power of sugar, her injuries were gone. But that punch knocked out a lot of her self-esteem, and she couldn't pick it up.

The way to beat a woman is usually a slap, and the boss uses his fists. It shows that he didn't beat a hundred tongues as a woman.

"Regarding the transaction between us, it is clearly written in the contract and our loan is on the first page of the annex. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I can leave these supplies to you today. By the way, I can tell you that those big soldiers in the city will immediately get a sum of spare money, which is quite a lot. ”

The mead-boss nodded, indicating that he was clear. However, there are some additional issues that are not listed in the contract. Would love to be able to ask.

"Speak. ”

This hundred tongues are actually quite happy in their hearts, this guy is the only one of the people she has visited so far who has shown an intention to cooperate. She didn't think such a person was smart. On the contrary, he will run to cooperate with an inexplicable person like Zhou Shu. I believe that there is no credibility at all, and this kind of person should be stupid.

However, Baiyu also knows that in the current situation where these businessmen have lost all their capital and have no livelihood, choosing cooperation seems to be a good opportunity to turn over, the kind where danger and opportunity coexist.

"Miss Hundred Tongues, I just have some doubts about the right to dispose of these borrowed materials. Can I really use these things as I please?"

"Of course, what's the problem?"

The mead-chan seemed to be in a good mood when he heard this, but he asked again out of caution.

"If I use these supplies to exchange real estate items with others, instead of making them into food, is that not in order?"

The end of military administration means that the city is back to normal. Yet the civilians are given a place where there is no food, and the army will not continue to provide the food they depend on. In a short period of time, it is very likely that it will be difficult to find a meal, and I am afraid that people will starve to death.

Baiyu knew what this guy was thinking in front of him, and at present, these materials were probably worth much more than the gold in the hands of the big soldiers for those who were starving to death. This guy seems to be trying to get his old stuff again, using despicable means to harvest land from the common people.

For this kind of thing, Baiyu refused, and the honey wine boss shrugged, "Since it is not allowed...... So, Miss Hundred Tongues, can I find anything else good from you?"

His attitude completely changed the moment he received a negative answer, and the face that had been smiling before sank.

"Nope. What more benefits do you want?"

"Just ask. I'm not involved in this, so please go back. ”

Hearing this, Baiyu was stunned, only to realize that the eyes of the person in front of him were the same as those of others.

The mead-chan snorted with his nose and sneered, "Miss Duke, I think you may have misunderstood. Regardless of my reputation outside, I want you to remember that I am a merchant who stayed in the city of Daylight, and I did not leave my country behind. Like other businessmen who chose to stay, I had my own sense of justice. And this is the kind of thing you're doing. Disgusts me. ”

was scolded by a notorious person who set up a game to cheat gamblers, and his head buzzed. I always feel a little incredible.

'When did I fall to the point where I would be blamed by such people, and when did I become a street rat?'

She would love to have a quiet environment now. You can think about this question -

Back at the castle, Zhou Shu hadn't slept yet, and was practicing the use of Dinglan at the gate, grabbing Dinglan's bead and drawing an arc in the sky.

Seeing this scene, Baiyu ignored it and drilled into the castle by himself. She wanted to get a good night's sleep now.

When Zhou Shu saw her coming back, he held a stone bench to block her way. "Let's report on the results of the work first, how many restaurants will be open tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?"

Hyakyu turned to stare at the man who had stopped him. I said one word angrily, "Zero!"

"Zero? What do you mean? You can't be a deal that hasn't been negotiated, right?"

Master Zhou suddenly felt as if he had found someone to eat, and he didn't agree to this loss-making and angry thing. Throwing Dinglan into the hand of the sweater woman who was yawning on the stone table, Zhou Shu pulled his tongue into the office study.

"Say, what's the matter, have you worked hard and won't grind with me, right?"

"Even if it's me grinding a foreign worker. "Hundred tongues looked a little listless, completely different from their usual appearance. "I'm going to work hard after that, starting tomorrow, let me go to sleep today. I am tired. ”

Zhou Shu was very surprised, why did this girl change her temperament when she came back from a trip, and she was talking to herself. Instead of the previous command sentences.

He relented, asking what had happened, out of sheer curiosity. Baiyu naturally didn't have the heart to talk to him, she just wanted to lie down on the bed as much as possible, and she didn't have the strength to speak.

The two were involved several times, but Zhou Shu insisted on not letting her go, and he found that the extremely strong girl in front of him had red eyes. There were no tears, but I could see it. She's dying.

"Well, since you want to know. I'll sue you. ”

For the sake of the book of please. Baiyu stubbornly explained what had just happened to the honey wine boss.

"What did I do wrong? Being interrogated by a liar about morality. I couldn't argue with him. If that's what you want, that's why you came to me. Then I congratulate you!"

Zhou Shu stared at the tears in front of him very well, and not a drop of his hundred tongues fell, and sighed depressedly.

"Why did you refuse the owner of the mead, I didn't tell you. ”

Hearing this, Bai Yu immediately put away the expression of the tragic heroine, "Why? He obviously wants to use supplies and food to rob while the fire is burning!"

"That's right, then let him rob it!" Zhou Shu also put on a look of incomprehension, "If you don't give him food, those who are going to starve to death won't even have a chance to be robbed, so they can only die, do you know?"

Hundred tongues are speechless......

"Didn't you even think about saving those people?!"

"Nope. Zhou Shu said honestly, "Or I used another more indirect way of helping, you are the one who helps me do things, but you are not good at all!"

The current problem in the Plains of Swords, especially in Sunlight City, is not that there are no supplies, but that the materials are too concentrated, and they are all in the hands of the army.

Zhou Shu can take this opportunity to open the granary to save the people, "And then?" he asked Baiyu, "I saved those people, what will happen to them?

He needs channels to let the materials flow out of his fingers and to the people, and in the process of flowing, these materials will be exchanged for huge benefits.

Like the mead-wine boss. He exchanged supplies from civilians for land and property, and gave food to civilians. As the owner of the capital, he can use the property to do something, and the people will not starve to death.

If there is any other channel, a little gold can be leaked into the hands of the people, such as those who are willing to play with the girls. They spend money, and the girls at the bottom have income, and they can afford to consume things like 'restaurants', and then the mead-hode owners will naturally go for profit and open the restaurant.

Real estate, food, gold, how much can these things be worth in the future? It would be good to rely on the market to regulate itself, and to be able to reach a balance point that is relatively beneficial to everyone.

At present, Nikko City is stuck in 'stagflation', and the economy is 'stagnant'. The currency is 'inflated' and the price of food is infinitely high. Per capita income has not kept pace.

Inflation usually means a good situation, at least stronger than deflation. It is easier to profit from inflation than deflation, but inflation is prone to turmoil and wealth disparity.

In contrast, stagflation, which combines all the shortcomings of everything in the chain, is the worst-case scenario.

If you want to improve this, you just have to let money, that is, money flows, flow into this stagnant economy. Restart it. This is barely a kind of 'release of liquidity', but the intensity is definitely more than just 'release'.

Zhou Shu said a lot of things, which is almost equivalent to class. In his living environment, there are also a lot of people who can't figure out these things, and he has high expectations for Baiyu, "You have to sort out the clue here, it's your job." ”

Baiyu is a student who likes to ask questions and is very studious. However, she doubted that what Zhou Shu said would come true, and she felt that this guy was talking about a dream.

"What if that scumbag boss trades very little grain for someone else's house? At most, it's just a few full meals, and it doesn't help at all. ”

Zhou Shu spread his hands, "That's your problem." I'll tell you to scatter the supplies. Find more people, but you can only find him, so that he has formed a regional monopoly and can sit on the ground and raise the price, do you say this is your own problem? And you can't even find one of him. ”

Unconvinced, Baiyu continued to ask, "You said that you want those big-headed soldiers to spend gold on women, you are not forcing them...... Forcing them to become ......"

"-woman, can't you say that word, didn't you insult Natie with that word before?"

Baiyu gritted his teeth, and the hatred in his eyes for the man in front of him escalated.

"Your question is superfluous. What does it matter to you how the girls want to live? Make sure they have the ability to survive is what you have to think about. Girls who can make money from the military will also spend. They may buy clothes and accessories from other so-called 'good girls'. Hire them to work so they can live. As long as there are enough channels. If the supplies can be dispersed in large quantities, the people in the city will not live too miserably. I don't want to force them all to flee the city and run away from the famine!

Zhou Shu is so concerned about this matter, he just wants to be familiar with the relevant processes of managing the city. Now it seems that he thinks that this kind of thing is relatively simple, provided that his subordinates are capable enough, but it is a pity that he only has a pure benzene hundred tongues now, which can be regarded as a blind eye.

Although Baiyu didn't understand these truths, she was reasonable, at least in this kind of logic-related matters.

"If you have any questions, hurry up and ask, then go to bed early and go to work tomorrow!"

Zhou Shu doesn't mind being an economics teacher, he is a fan of the 'price school' and advocates letting the market solve the problem. As for the political issue, what he is doing now in this ruined region is basically tantamount to creating a new 'economic oligarchy'. Those who can get resources from Baiyu's hands, no matter what they do, can make themselves rich quickly, grow up, and become giant crocodiles.

Although the formation of oligarchs is not a good thing, and there will soon be a 'trust', that is, a 'big family', but in order to give Baiyu a certain amount of influence, he needs to have such a group of 'people who get rich first' to help wave the flag. It's a pity that Baiyukong has the ability to change the fate of others, and can turn stones into gold, but she doesn't know how to use it.

There are a lot of questions about Baiyu, and Zhou Shu explained it patiently. Sometimes she can struggle with a problem for a long time and argue for half an hour, and sometimes she has a good grasp of some things that Zhou Shu feels are more complicated and difficult to understand.

She's a good student, and the most important quality as a student is curiosity, and she's good enough at that. But as a student, she's just too clingy.

Zhou Shu accumulated a lot of fire from the snake bird during the day, and wanted to ask Nati for a favor at night, but he was trapped here in Baiyu and couldn't escape.

All night, he was in the office study while eating melon seeds and lecturing on economic issues. Because there is a lot of talk, even economic history has been popularized.

At the end of the night, the sky was slightly bright, Master Zhou was not sleepy, he had magic power to make a spiritual head, and the hundred tongues were also magically not a trace of sleepiness. I was still there sorting out what I had learned and understanding the logic inside. She was amazed to find that she only needed to use two things: 'price' and 'market'. She was amazed to explain a commercial phenomenon that she proposed.

Zhou Shu now suspected that this guy was a potential possessor of magical power.

There are some people. Powerful spiritual power is sealed in the body, and it needs to be stimulated to manifest it, such as Ula Mystery. At present, judging from the spiritual head of the hundred tongues and the beautiful Cheng dù, the possibility of being the owner of magic power is very high.

Naturally, he was not ready to help this guy improve, and after this night, the melon seed skin was eaten, and the demand for Nati was also extremely high. Although he used a rather unpleasant lover-person identity to confirm his relationship with Nati before, but until now. It's just when Nattie really begins to carry out her lover-man obligations.

Looking at the equally delicious brown girl Baiyu, Master Zhou felt that he should go, otherwise he didn't know what to do to the studious guy in front of him.

"I went back to my room to sleep, it was a terrible night. Ugly words are said in the front, I don't plan to give you a holiday, you go and work for me, and you have to find me at least two or three people who are willing to help before tomorrow!"

Seeing that Zhou Shu was leaving, Baiyu looked unhappy, "I still have something to ask you, about the 'futures' and 'shorting' you said." ”

"Those two things have nothing to do with you!

The work of Baiyu is not just as simple as 'scattering the materials' in Zhou Shu's mouth. Although this is what she is most concerned about at the moment. But in addition to this, she also needs to quickly organize some basic government departments to get them back to work. That's what she said before, release the technicians in the prison, that is, the petty officials, and let them go back to work.

Zhou Shu decided not to help civilians, which means that it will be very difficult for ordinary people to get food. In this environment, technicians can basically only help the government work for a bite to eat, which is a good phenomenon for Baiyu.

She didn't go to see those original petty officials herself, and Baiyu still had a little dignity of her own. She didn't want to be scolded by those low-level officials who didn't want to pay attention to it before, her self-esteem couldn't afford to risk it. Thereupon. It took her a while to find a smarter creep. Let him help as a lobbyist.

Strictly speaking, there is nothing to say, just set the problem and the status quo right with those people. Officials are all smart people, who know the current affairs and understand everything at all.

With that out of the way, Hyakyu gathered his thoughts and prepared to go to the Honey Wine Boss again, as well as to the others who had rejected her. She wanted to try again, and she didn't like the feeling of failure-

Zhou Shu didn't get what he wanted from Nati, who got up early in the morning and went to the field to coat the horses with the army. It's a big move, you need to be away all day, and it's so urgent that you don't have time to solve the demand.

Out of helplessness, Master Zhou had to run to find the snake bird and hope for her. Hopefully she will be able to repay the 'stuff' she owes.

Arrived at the carriage shop, two hours before the agreed time of meeting. Zhou Shuben thought that he would have to wait alone for a while, but he found that the snake bird was huddled in the corner of the empty hall of the carriage shop, sitting there, holding his legs and covering his face with his knees.

"Why are you here so early?"

Zhou Shu asked casually, and then sat beside her with a full purpose, and began to try to move his hands and feet. When he had just lifted the snake bird's skirt, Zhou Shu immediately threw away his squinting expression, and his face sank.

"Except for what? Who have you been beaten?"

The snake bird's body was bruised everywhere, as if it had been whipped, and there were many cracks in the flesh. Zhou Shu saw that her leg was scarred, and immediately read it in all directions in the Book of Summoning, feeling like she had been whipped about twenty lashes.

All along, the snake bird has used the injuries on her body to avoid the debt problem, and Zhou Shu has always tolerated her, thinking that her behavior is quite interesting, and does not force it. In today's situation, he doesn't think that the snake bird beat himself by himself, and wants to continue dragging himself after the foot injury is healed.

He felt that he needed an explanation, even though it was just a bought woman, but he was quite angry that this kind of thing had happened. (To be continued)
