763 Books Money that goes nowhere

It seems that there will always be bleeding time when the snail kite and Zhou Shu get together, and this time the injured one is the snail kite. ยคโŠฅ๏ผŒ๏ผ‹x.

When sliding down the wall, the snail kite, which looked like a boy, finally slipped down the wall with its belly down because it had no experience in climbing over the wall. Not only did his clothes fall over because of the friction against the wall, but his chest was also cut by small stones.

For Zhou Shu, who was pretending to be a doctor, although the snail kite was a little uneasy, he didn't stop it. This is the first time that a man has touched her chest, and it is also the first time that a man has helped her wash her body, although it is only a wound.

Master Zhou didn't plan to get an inch, so after taking advantage of it a little, he helped the girl bandage the wound, and then gave her a candy.

"It's medicine, take it quickly. โ€

When Zhou Shu was injured before, Snail Kite used a bowl of vegetable soup that caused people to suffer from heat stroke as medicine to fool things, which would also be the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and he was stuffed with a piece of sugar in his mouth when he was injured.

"Well, it's delicious. Anything else?"

The snail kite has now developed the habit of 'eating and taking' to the man in front of her, and she likes the ice cubes and small cones very much, and the delicious candies that will be used are the same.

Sugar is still relatively valuable on this continent, and finished candy is naturally a good thing.

Zhou Shu didn't want to give this guy anything, but he gave a bug before and killed so many people. However, considering that I was quite satisfied with the kneading of my breasts just now, and I was also satisfied with the softness, it seemed natural to pay some compensation. So, a bag of candy was thrown into the hand of the snail kite, but the precautions for using it still had to be explained to her.

Time always flies quickly at inexplicable times, and it has been a week since the restoration of Daylight City, and Zhou Shu is still strolling around the streets every day, frowning.

He hadn't thought about the Snail Kite and the Resistance for the past few days. I hadn't seen the girl since I had given her a bag of candy and a bag of clothes five days earlier.

What I didn't see was also the consumers he needed, without consumers, the city's commerce was still a pool of stagnant water.

Snake Bird and Baiyu made a fat businessman jump off the building before, and this matter is clear to Zhou Shu. I didn't take it seriously. He knows the temperament of those two women, and they are not the kind of people with bad intentions. As for other businesses, they have all opened.

The 2,000 men of the pioneer regiment ran around the city of sunlight and cut down the forest when they saw it. The organization of the caravan of the merchant house was also completed, although the fat man died, but the ones who did not die seemed to be afraid of death, and decisively agreed to the request put forward by Baiyu.

In addition, there are restaurants and construction teams in the city, which attract customers with musical instruments and make noise with wooden mallets to drive people away. All in all, the city is quite vibrant.

But the problem is that the busy workers are all merchants and workers hired by Zhou Shu at a great price, and in order to find some infrastructure work for the city, he opened fifty wells in the city in one go, and gave twenty times the normal price, and now the price of shovels in the city has been raised

Dozens of times.

Within five days, Zhou Shu went to the Dragon Treasure and pulled a large pile of gold, which was exchanged for silver that could be directly accessed from the army. I didn't feel distressed at all, but I didn't even hear a wave.

Now the restaurant in town is open. All kinds of artisan shops are also open, and construction materials are supplied by local manufacturers, but there are no customers. The only thing that sells is probably the shovel used to dig the well. The work is divided according to the family unit, which means that there are fifty families in the city who are digging holes.

Zhou Shu has always had some self-knowledge, knowing that theory may not be able to work quickly. It may be delayed for a long time. But he couldn't understand where all the money he scattered went?

At present, the only real money he threw out that was in circulation was probably the transaction between the soldier and the civilian girl in the city, and the girl was not willing to ask for money. Prefer to ask for food. This made Master Zhou aggressive, and he could only temporarily blame the 'economic scale' because the 'economic scale' was not large enough, and it would be good to wait for more daily necessities and the like, so he kept hoping that the caravan that went out would come back soon. However, according to Baiyu's calculations, it is estimated that it will take two weeks for the scattered merchants to arrive.

After wasting a whole day, he didn't see what he wanted to see, so he wondered, so much gold was smashed down, and there was not even a sound in this pool of water, this is an impossible thing.

On the way back to the castle, he was thinking about it with his hands behind his back. Unfortunately, he is not an economics major, and he is not very interested in economics, but he has only read some such 'idle books'. When I encounter a real problem, my brain always feels a little stuck, as if I have found something but a problem, and I am not sure.

When he arrived at the castle, Baiyu was standing at the gate with two soldiers, probably waiting for He Zhoushu.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Zhou Shu asked from afar, nodded his head, and motioned for him to come in and speak.

"Two things, one good and one bad, which one do you want to hear first?"

Zhou Shu thought about it for a while and decided to change his previous habits and listen to it first this time.

"The good news is that there are real tailors and cooks who have moved into 'your' castle, and now we don't have to endure the food of the military cooks. โ€

"This is also called good news?!" Zhou Shu was stunned after hearing this, this was not even news at all, and he was not interested.

Baiyu smiled bitterly, "I have to find something to do well in the news, so that I can tell you the following things without making things seem too bad." โ€

"Say it. I was mentally prepared. โ€

Baiyu motioned to the soldiers around him and asked him to announce the matter, the soldiers looked embarrassed, walked to Zhou Shu and knelt down directly in front of him, wiped his eyes with his hands, and immediately reported the situation with tears in his eyes.

Actually, it wasn't a big deal, but the merchants who had left Sunshine City two days ago were all hanging in the nearby woods, their belongings were gone, and the soldiers who protected them were all killed, and their bodies were found by the reclamation team this morning.

Although Zhou Shu felt that this matter was a headache, it was only a headache for the few days and a lot of effort lost, and he didn't care much about money and human life.

Baiyu had a sad face, "I think we should go to suppress the bandits." โ€

"You're right, you should get rid of the security. Why haven't I heard of bandit rings in this place before?"

To be able to kill a team of soldiers, such a robber must have more than fifty people, and such a large tree is still relatively easy for Zhou Shu to find.

Baiyu said that he had not heard of any security problems in the vicinity of Sunshine City, and the soldiers said that the bandits here had already dispersed when their own troops were stationed, and that they might have recently been formed by the homeless people who had recently left the city.

Master Zhou is almost an omnipotent superman in this world. After a little inquiry about the coordinates of the body found, he took off directly on the spot, and the soles of Astro Boy's feet spewed flames into the sky. Only the hundred tongues and two little soldiers who looked up at her were left.

It's not a good thing to be looked up to. Zhou Shu flew too quickly this time, and the flame control was not very good. It's like a diver who needs to press a splash to score, and his spark is seen by the city in broad daylight, causing a commotion, and no one applauds him.

Ran to the place where the body was found, and flew back and forth for two hours until the strength in his body bottomed out.

Yang Xi because he was attacked by a vampire. Yu Feiniao's operating table obtained the 'universal blood' of the living human race, and Zhou Shu also had it, which was transformed by Yu Feiniao. Relying on such a similarity, the large parts of a living human race that should have been installed on his body were placed on Yang Xi's body at a critical moment.

If the Qiฤ“ goes according to plan, Zhou Shu will be a plane that can fly forever without any aviation fuel, and now it is a matter of endurance. Although eating can solve some problems, the effect is average.

Before he 'ran out of oil', the range he could fly was still relatively wide, probably about two days for ordinary people to ride a horse. It can't be fully covered. However, under the reconnaissance ability of the Book of Summoning, it is actually not too much.

In these two hours. Zhou Shu did not see any suspicious group gatherings. He believed that if the robbers were to fight with the caravan and the soldiers escorting the caravan, there would be casualties, there was no doubt about that.

The 'dead' part is also counted, but the injured ones should appear in the Book of Summoning. So Zhou Shu only needs to fly as much as possible at the scene of the crime. Then use the Book of Summons to find those who have been wounded. It's his little cleverness.

Unfortunately, it was not found at all.

In this wilderness, his little cleverness was completely overly worried, not to mention the injured people, he didn't even see many ordinary people. The debacle of the Americas was a vast and sparsely populated place in the First World. This is especially true on the western side of the country, where there are almost no people in towns and villages. This is probably also related to the relative lack of food in the area, and it is difficult for humans to survive without gathering in one place. If you had changed to the dense and deep forest environment of the forest country, I am afraid it would not be so exaggerated.

"Am I not searching far enough?"

Zhou Shu couldn't help but have this kind of doubt in his heart. If that were the case, then he himself was desperate for the army to search for the bandits, because it was impossible. He flew in the sky and searched through the Book of Summons but couldn't find the lair of those guys, so how could the soldiers do that?

"Could it be that they don't have a nest at all?"

The current situation is assumed to be a gang similar to Shuibo Liangshan, and it is this Liangshanbo that needs to be found.

If these people were the ones who gathered in one place and directly divided the money and fled with a vote, Zhou Shu really couldn't do anything about them.

With doubts, he also flew back to the city honestly. The search wasn't over, and he couldn't allow anyone to cause trouble on his own turf. As a ruler, things like 'identity card' and 'household-registration system' naturally want to be developed without the constraints of citizenship, so as to facilitate the management of the common people under his rule, but now there are no such conditions.

Two days later, the liberalization of Nikko City had reached ten or ten days, and Yiqiฤ“ was still a pool of stagnant water, lifeless.

Master Zhou looked at this qiฤ“ depressedly, and he was already a little discouraged, and doubted his life.

In the past two days, he has met with some town guards who have arrived from other cities, and wants to learn from the Earl of Sunshine City. After all, the other five big cities in the Sword Plain area are all under the control of the military, and their soldiers also want to open the city, want to make the city prosperous, and they can benefit from it. As a result, when they came to Nikko City, they felt that it was better to maintain the status quo.

Yesterday, it was when most of the town guard officers arrived. The rebels launched another attack.

They seem to be the kind of leveling point monsters who will come out again when they die, and they don't take their lives seriously at all, and use their lives to cause chaos for others.

For this, Zhou Shu is not used to it. He has always acted according to the law, the country of the West is a country with a legal system, and those troublemakers who are caught should be sentenced and judged. Whether to hang or be tied to a pillar to dry is a matter of law, and he does not participate.

As for the ones that ran away, he could chase them with his own strength, but when he thought that the snail kite was likely to be among these people again, he didn't have any interest, he just hoped that she could ask for more blessings and get out of the land of right and wrong as soon as possible.

The snail kite is also an adult with normal judgment, so that it will not stay in a dangerous place all the time.

The city is still like the same bird, starving all over the place. When these people saw a person walking on the street who didn't look very hungry, they had to stare at him fiercely for a long time.

Lord Zhou can't be so casual when he goes out of the city at present, because the news that 'the new city lord has the appearance of a seaman' has spread, and his face can't be hidden no matter what, not that he can pretend to be a local if he dyes his hair and wears contact lenses.

Since he couldn't go out smoothly to avoid being watched, he honestly hid on the roof of the temple. Learn to look down on oneself as God.

After he saw a mother play with her young son on the side of the road, and he himself went into the alley to exchange his body for food with a soldier on duty. He couldn't sit still.

Returning to the castle's office study, he called out to Baiyu, "I think something has gone wrong with my plan." Zhou Shu went straight to the point, blushing a little.

"Isn't it? When Baiyu heard this, he immediately folded his arms, "Are you sure that what you told me is correct?

"I don't know why it's the way it is. Zhou Shu sighed. "Maybe something is missing. โ€

"What are you going to do? Haven't you ever thought about what to do if this bad idea fails?"

Baiyu listened to Zhou Shu's lectures for a long time before, thinking that he had gained some advanced knowledge, but it turned out that these things were not easy to use at all, which made him angry in his heart.

"The theory is definitely true, I don't need a second solution. Zhou Shu said. Now the primary goal is to find the link that went wrong.

Hearing this, Baiyu snorted rather mockingly and scolded, "Hard mouth." โ€

"Less nonsense. Are you going to work?"

"Dry. Baiyu was helpless, "I'll do whatever you ask me to do, let's say, what's the bad idea?"

Zhou Shu was very dissatisfied with the brown guy in front of him who had a bad idea.

"Whether a theory is right or wrong, you can deduce it by logic. Whether those things make sense or not, you can figure it out with your brain. โ€

"I only believe what I see in front of me, such as the people in the city who are dying of hunger." โ€

"Otherwise, how can I say that you have no understanding, you are always swayed by reality. In reality, there are a lot of variables, and there must be some variable that I don't know is playing tricks on me!"

Zhou Shu has no ability to govern, and he has no business experience, and he is completely ignorant of the tricks of businessmen and the problems that will arise in the local area, so he only found Baiyu today.

Baiyu faced the stubborn Zhou Shu and chuckled, "You really hit the south wall and don't give up, people like you are really pitiful." โ€

"Yes, I'm pathetic. Zhou Shu grinned, "But it's better than you." Miss Duke of Slave. โ€

Baiyu's current identity is still a slave, and her slave status has not yet gone, and she needs to go to the arbitration center in the city where she is registered as a slave to remove it, which is a necessary process. However, under normal circumstances, the slave owner tears up the deed of sale, which is basically equivalent to the slave being free without restraint, and Zhou Shu has already burned that thing.

Hearing Zhou Shu's mocking words, Baiyu tried very hard to suppress his anger and not let himself fall into a senseless quarrel. However, she controlled her mouth but didn't control her hands, and smashed an ornament in the study towards Zhou Shu, naturally she couldn't smash it.

For this kind of eldest lady's temper, Zhou Shu is still not too used to it. His eldest lady was a sick princess, not the brown one in front of him. He also sighed at the behavior of the person in front of him. Too lazy to care. "Okay, don't make a fuss, let's talk less. He was the first to admit it.

Baiyu doesn't like others to talk about her identity very much, especially Zhou Shu. Now she still has some imbalance in her identity, after all, she used to be Miss Duke, and now she hasn't even taken off her slave status. "Forget it. What you want to say and do is your business, not me. Whatever you want to do, just say it, now you are the king of the Plains of the Sword Blade. โ€

"Well, don't mention that. Zhou Shu thought for a while, and suddenly remembered a question, "How much is the price of grain now?"

Baiyu pulled out the notebook hanging from his waist, rummaged for a while, and read out a number.

"It doesn't seem to be very expensive. "Secretary Zhou has to pay the wages of those workers himself. Judging by the numbers, it is still more than enough to buy food, but why can't you see people who are well fed?

In the current situation, there is still a suspicion of stagflation, no matter how cheap things are, no one has the money to buy them, and it is still caused by the lack of 'money'.

Zhou Shu thought about it and casually threw a key to Baiyu. "This is the vault key, you go get some cash. You can do your own research and give an extra bonus to each of the civilians who are working for us. It's better to give more. โ€

Grabbing the key, Baiyu had a complicated mood, "You still plan to execute your set of things?"

"Of course. By the way, by the way, help me find the snake bird, I have something to ask her to help. โ€โ€•โ€•

Baiyu grabbed the key given by Zhou Shu as a pass, and walked through a long corridor guarded by guards. Keep walking towards a dark passage underground.

It was the secret vault of the castle, and when she was the owner of the castle, she had only heard of such a place and had never visited it. Now that I've lost the castle, I've been running this way for three days.

The wealth in the castle has been sent to the East Country by Duke Kuroba before the city is broken, and it has not been left to the enemy country at all. This is also the reason why their family was sent to the Western Capital as prisoners. The officers who captured them wanted to negotiate with the people of Tonokuni to get some of the money that had been sent back.

Hyakyu looked at the vault room that was now full, and looked at the gold coins that were illuminated red by the torches, and felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't like Zhou Shu's trust in her very much, and she always felt that she was despised and underestimated. In her opinion, when Zhou Shu was wary, careful, or simply arrested by him, it meant that she had the ability to oppose him, and he was his enemy, making him afraid.

Now, he is just a docile and harmless pet, unable to pose the slightest threat to his enemies.

The snake bird listened to the instructions in the office study, and Zhou Shu asked her for help, and gave her a beetle to defend herself, so as to save trouble when she was on a mission.

There was not so much politeness between the two of them, and the snake bird sat on Zhou Shu's lap and fell into his arms, listening to the whole task. She was glued on her own, and Master Zhou didn't plan to do such a dangerous thing at home while Nattie was still awake. But it's not easy for her to dodge the snake bird, which is a bit hurtful.

The beetles that the snake bird was assigned were golden, and she liked it quite much.

"This is the weapon beetle that killed the soldiers of the brigade?"

Zhou Shu was not very reluctant to mention this matter, and said with a wry smile: "You'd better not take the initiative to attack anyone with this thing, just keep it for self-defense." โ€

The beetle can only deal with ordinary people, but anyone who is a martial artist can easily put this thing in a small bottle.

For this gift, the snake bird showed an excited expression that she hadn't seen before, "As far as I know, you don't seem to give this thing to anyone, right?" She saw that Nati and the young eagle had this thing on them, and she also heard about the snail kite, the life-saving benefactor of Zhou Shu, whom she had never met.

As for the one with a hundred tongues, because a hundred tongues don't like it, they have never worn it outside, and they are all put in a money bag and a copper plate as a companion. It's not impossible to spend it as a coin one day.

The meaning of this beetle is not a simple gift, the snake bird knows very well that he will have won the trust of the man in front of him.

Zhou Shu was rubbed on his thighs by the girl's buttocks, which was more or less uncomfortable. But he wasn't in the mood for that to-day, and he had to call the sick princess and Tiddlelime for a few phone calls to say hello in a while, and he didn't want to call after doing that kind of thing, which would make him inexplicably weak when he spoke.

So he drove the snake bird away, and before she left, he told her what he was to do, to investigate the whereabouts of the money that had been found. Zhou Shu's bonus this time is not a further 'stimulation of consumption', he wants to know where the money he threw down before has gone, and why it has not been circulated. (To be continued......)
