As a vassal, it is very inappropriate for Baiyu to do certain things.
When she ran to negotiate with the owners of the large restaurants in Nikko City, with whom she had a lot of previous relationships, it seemed to them like a demonstration of the nobles of the West Country. Ordering the eldest daughter of the Duchess of the East Country to do this kind of thing is like saying 'I can make your young duke submit, and naturally I can make you submit'.
Zhou Shu said to Baiyu before that it was a very wrong thing to make people have a 'sense of confrontation', but he didn't expect that letting Baiyu contact with local merchants would make up this kind of thing in their brains and produce a sense of confrontation, which was his own problem.
The serpent's persuasion work went very smoothly, she just gathered a group of people in one place, explained the stakes to them again, and pleaded sincerely. After doing this, he locked everyone in a room guarded by guards, and let them study on their own, and if they didn't study it, they wouldn't let them go home, and one person didn't promise everyone not to move.
The restaurant owners studied each other, and it was inevitable that there would be one or two wavering, and the firm part was not good at delaying others from going home to see the children and hugging their wives, so they were half-pushed.
Zhou Shu was not very optimistic about the snake bird, and originally just wanted her to give Baiyu a start, but he didn't expect this guy to be very efficient.
"Since you're so efficient, give me another lumber yard tomorrow!"
To reclaim the woodland, there will naturally be a lot of wood, and Zhou Shu plans to make these woods into wood, and then build some infrastructure in the city.
Coming and going can solve the problem of eating for many people. Lumber yard or something, in Zhou Shu's understanding, is to process the round wood and sell it, there should be no technical content, simple processing with incoming materials is labor-intensive, just put a person who has done business and run a factory. It should all be done.
There is nothing mysterious about business business, which is nothing more than 'production' and 'trading'.
As far as the current problem of Nikko City is concerned, in fact, most of them are OK, but the food is more difficult. The matter of sending people to other places to buy grain has not been moved, and it is estimated that she still has to bother to give a reliable list. Let the snake bird come forward to find someone, you have to find those who drag their families with their mouths, and they can't run away with the money themselves.
When there is unlimited money, the development of the city is always very fast, this truth is just find a city simulation management game, open an unlimited money gold-finger can also be felt, at present, Zhou Shu is in such a aspect.
He is like the central bank of a certain country, which has been continuously injecting water into the reform and opening up for decades, expanding the total amount of broad money M2. But Zhou Shu's money is real gold. Sending it to its own people is hard currency, although it will make the little silver taels accumulated by the civilians over the years worthless, but for places outside of Nikko City, Nikko City can be regarded as a place of high income and high consumption. As for printing paper tickets, high consumption can be guaranteed. However, if it is not printed, it will be more difficult for the stagnant economy to get off the ground, but after the initial development period is still endless, then there will be problems.
The third day after the opening of Nikko City. Master Zhou, who was busy looking for snail kites, had no gains, but there was a good phenomenon in the city's commerce.
These two days. Without food from the army, the civilians of the city began to flee, but not in large numbers. It is conceivable that these people hid part of the grain in front of the military administration. The army of Sunlight City did not take a big toll on the city, and there was a little extra money to make a small fight. But Cheng dΓΉ is not strict, so he should have survived for a few days.
On the contrary, there are also a bunch of heartless and lungless guys, who have no food, and then embark on the road of working class who work hard to reclaim land and cut wood.
Snake Bird seems to be a talent for calling people to meetings, gathering all the people on the list of people who are likely to help set up the factory. It is also a unified class to explain to them, just like the Amway lecturer, who comes up to talk to others about family.
The effect of this statement is also good, and it is very easy to get a group of industrialists to start production.
As for the upstream and downstream of the industry, Zhou Shu also took the money out and made a complete chain as much as possible, striving to make these people make profits. After all, Sunshine City is in ruins, and money can create a large amount of 'domestic demand', which is a way to return wealth to the people.
This kind of thing has been tossed for two days, and someone has started to open the business, but it will take a few days to spend with the money. At present, there are some other things that can be bought in Nikko City, in addition to the warmth of girls.
The city welcomed a caravan at noon today, a caravan of horses from the land of the west, and a large amount of grain was sold. It's not from the Kou Chi family, it's an 'expeditionary force' organized by another large-scale chamber of commerce.
These people were quite bold, and knew what kind of virtue it would be to be newly incorporated into the plains of the land of the West Country, so they got some food, cloth, and daily necessities, and prepared to make a big profit. Zhou Shu welcomed this and opened the city gates for them to do business.
The arrival of these people has the meaning of taking advantage of the fire to rob, robbing the civilians in the city of the little money left behind in the war. But it doesn't matter, even if that money is kept, it will soon become worthless in the regional inflation created by Zhou Shu, unless they take that money to spend elsewhere -
Baiyu has watched the work speed of the snake bird in the past two days, and he has some discomfort in his heart. It seems that as long as she is given a list of personnel and things that need to be handled by her, she can do it quickly, as if everyone is willing to cooperate with her, but spits on themselves.
She knew that she deserved to be spurned, and she chose to live without dignity but hope in front of Zhou Shu, rather than go to hell with dignity and despair.
In order to balance herself a little, she specially called the snake bird today and went with her to lobby a certain big businessman.
She heard from the officials in the accounting room that the guy stayed in Nikko City because the property here couldn't get rid of it in time, and he wanted to stay and sell the property after it calmed down, and then fled back to the East Country.
Obviously, the house is not worth much now, and there are not many rich people like him who choose to risk staying in Nikko City for the sake of something like real estate.
Although this guy is in a hurry to escape now and can't find anyone to take over, this kind of person who loves money as much as his life should be able to tie up some busyness. Hyakyu needs to use this guy's connections and abilities to organize a caravan to try and open up a trade route from Nikko City to the hinterland of Nishino Country. It's a very simple thing, it sounds difficult, but in fact, you just need to carry the money and drive the car to find a place to load the goods.
When he came to the merchant's house, he was worthy of a person who had real estate in the city, and the mansion looked like a fortress, and the daughter of the Duke's family was a little tempted.
However, this will overgrow the yard of the mansion with weeds. No one prunes it, and the broken appearance cannot be covered. If you want to maintain this kind of large house, you still need a lot of manpower.
Following the soldiers, Momozu took the lead in breaking into the courtyard and knocked on the wide front door of the big house. She wasn't sure if the man lived here, but the address she had been given was written at that address. Considering that this guy has a lot of real estate, it should be possible to live in some smaller houses.
As luck would have it, I knocked on the door, and a fat man looked out of a window on the third floor. Seeing that it was a soldier, he said hello as if he was fatal, and came down to open the door.
"Miss Duke?!You, what are you looking for me?!"
The fat merchant looked vigilant, covered his heart with both hands, and looked at Baiyu's face pale.
Baiyu knew what he meant by this action, he had killed two restaurant owners before, and this matter had already spread evil in the merchant circle. It is said that the blade of a hundred tongues is exposed. Bloodthirsty and brutal, he likes to poke men in the heart with a knife.
The most brutal thing she ever did in her life was when she was about four or five years old. Tear off one of the chicken's legs while playing with the chicken.
She swore she didn't remember doing such a disgusting thing, but when her family said she did, she could only think that she had done it.
The fat merchant was middle-aged but didn't have any city government, and with reluctance written on his face, he slowly invited the two women into the door.
Sitting in the living room, Baiyu explained the intention. And then directly rejected.
Baiyu is also broken now, pointing to the fat man in front of him, pointing to his chest and the position of his heart, and reminded: "I think you should think about it again, it's better for your body." β
After trying to reason, whispering, pleading, and some other negotiating tones. She decided to talk about things in the most authentic tone. At least the businessmen thought it was her true colors.
The fat merchant was frightened by the tone of the hundred tongues, and his body subconsciously shrank back, as if the woman sitting in front of him was a lion hunting.
Seeing the atmosphere of this conversation, the snake bird on the side stiffened with embarrassment, and he couldn't understand what the duchess next to him wanted to do.
Seeing that his deterrence had an effect on his opponent, Hyakumi recalled his father's majestic appearance and imitated it slightly.
"Let's straighten things out. Baiyu took out the protective knife from his waist and grabbed it in his hand, holding it lightly, which was almost an act of intimidation. "I just said that I would fund your manpower and funds to help you open up trade routes and become the first merchant in the plains to trade with the hinterland of the West in hundreds of years. I think it's a great opportunity for you. β
The fat merchant seemed to be quite timid, and his eyes kept staring at the knife while Baiyu was talking, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Baiyu thought that his way of communication had had an effect, and suddenly he took the case without warning, and shouted angrily at the fat man in front of him, "You dare to say no to such a good deal!
As soon as these words came out, with the power of the duke that Baiyu had been exposed to since childhood, the innocent people next to him were startled, and the body sitting in the chair slammed in the opposite direction of Baiyu and almost fell, and the chair legs made a 'squeak' on the floor.
The fat businessman was more direct, standing up and running without saying a word. In a panic, he climbed all the way upstairs, the house was a three-story tower attic, and Baiyu reluctantly commanded the soldiers around him to catch the fat man back.
The snake bird stared at Hundred Tongues in the room, and found that her expression was as helpless as her own. Curious, he asked, "Miss Baiyu, why do you want to ...... in this way?" To lobby someone?"
Baiyu ignored her, and was busy ordering his soldiers to chase and intercept the fat man.
"I think this method may be a little inappropriate, and it is easy to get into trouble......"
Baiyu glanced back at the snake bird, and said stubbornly: "What trouble can there be? Just continue our work after catching it, can he still run away?"
As soon as they said this, the two girls heard a 'pop' sound in the courtyard, as if something had hit the ground.
Soon two soldiers replied, saying that the fat merchant had jumped off the building and died in the fall. Since the planted head fell first, there was no way to rescue it.
Baiyu blushed slightly when he heard this. The snake bird didn't feel that there was anything glorious about 'trouble' in his words, and he was embarrassed not to look at Baiyu, and the two of them just tacitly regarded this thing as if it hadn't happened.
There is no doubt that after this incident, the matter of Bai Yu forcing the civilian merchants in the city to death can be regarded as completely confirmed. At present, these GIs have money in their hands, and they are willing to spend money to find girls. Prefer to talk a lot around and talk a lot.
In this era of little entertainment, gossip is basically a simple and effective way to pass the time, and today's things will inevitably be said with oil and vinegar. Baiyu, the former Duchess Miss, is now the aggressor's lackey, and the identity is attractive enough-
Snail Kite became the savior of the Justice Society and was paid as a benefactor to the entire organization. There are no additional benefits to being their benefactor, except for the change in the way others call her and look at her, life is pretty much the same as usual.
For the past two days, the snail kite has been staring at its silver beetle. She didn't want to admit that she had killed someone. I want to blame the little guy in my hand in my heart.
The waterfowl is now her personal maid and is always by her side. She had asked many times about the origin of this beetle, and the snail kite was embarrassed to say that it was given to her by someone else, and she knew very well that these people regarded themselves as saviors, rather than as saviors.
She has always avoided this question, and she hardly mentions her own affairs.
The Society has now moved to a civilian area with many rugged boxes and many houses, occupying almost the entire area. Although the living environment is not as good as before. It seems to be a little more hidden, though.
The snail kite was sitting in the shade of a tree at the mouth of the alley, accompanied by waterfowl. is looking at the sky with nothing to do. Mizutori was talking worriedly about some of the actions that the Justice Society would take against the army of the West Country in the next few days.
Snail Kite already knows what the identity of these people is, and after helping them fight their way out, if they don't even ask about this kind of thing, it can only be said that there is a problem with their IQ.
No one hid her identity from her, the man who had wiped out so many lives in the army, no matter what the Snail Kite's wishes were. As long as you kill a soldier, you are in the same boat as yourself, and it is not easy to get off the boat.
"Are you going to kill again?" the snail kite looked at the waterfowl with a worried expression. She had just said that today someone would assassinate the merchants and officials who had taken refuge in the earls of the enemy country.
The current Justice Society no longer dares to attack those soldiers, and the last time it was ambushed and defeated miserably. Let them be convinced that there are still moles in the meeting.
"Lord Snail Kite. The waterfowl corrected the wording of their savior, "We are not killing, but executing justice." β
"The means are killing?"
The waterfowl nodded.
"There are a lot of people who have taken refuge in enemy countries now, and we must teach these people some lessons, otherwise more and more people will forget their identity as Dongguos. β
The snail kite was eager to ask, 'What if you forget it?' But looking at the eyes of the water birds, she didn't say anything.
She had also heard that the soldiers of the Mizufowl had been forced to sing all night because they had been forced by the local city lord, the Earl. She also didn't know why a man would force a girl to do such a thing. In her opinion, the earl of the western kingdom was not so hateful.
Mizutori said this for a purpose, "Actually, today I'm here to ask for your help......
"Pull me into the Justice Society?"
The waterfowl nodded.
Snail Kite had been worried about this kind of thing since two days ago, and she could tell from the words and deeds of the Justice Society that these people wanted her to join her very much.
In response to this question, Snail Kite said very solemnly, "I'm not interested. β
The water bird was relieved to hear this, "It's good if you're not interested...... Actually, a few officials asked me to mention this to you, and I don't want you to join in. You've helped us enough to help us with anything else. β
The snail kite has some complicated feelings and wants to be alone and quiet.
"Sorry waterfowl, I want to go out on the street, alone. β
Mizufowl nodded, "I'm cooking at home and waiting for you." β
"Hmm. I'll be back before dinner. βββ
For Snail Kite, because she looks like a boy, people treat her as a man, which makes her somewhat masculine in personality. Sometimes I think I might be a man. This is a gender perception disorder. Mild.
She ate a little too much for lunch, and it seemed that leaning in the shade of a tree alone was not enough to digest the food. In the current state of Sunshine City, it is not easy to eat, and she feels happy for this.
For a few days, I had been suffocating in the house or alley, and the snail kite was somewhat uncomfortable, so I came out for a walk. She hasn't been on the street since the opening of the city. In other words, she hadn't seen people on the streets outside Xicheng for a long time, so she slipped near the temple.
Not long after she arrived, she was tapped on the shoulder by a person.
"Hello, do you still know me?"
The person who filmed her was Zhou Shu.
Master Zhou also regarded the top of the temple tower as his nest, and if he had nothing to do, he would go to the top to lie on it. He was lucky today, and when he looked for it in a high place, he found a snail kite sneaking in the distance.
Seeing that Zhou Shu was very weak, the snail kite subconsciously jumped back. In any case, she also killed people with what people gave her, and there were still so many officers and soldiers. This is definitely not a good thing.
"Long time no see. When the snail kite saw the person in front of her, she said in an unnatural tone.
"It's not too long, let's find a place to talk, I've been looking for you for two days. β
The two of them came to the outer walls of the temple, which seemed to be a good place to communicate.
Zhou Shu's purpose in finding it was very simple, he didn't want to get the silver beetle back, he just wanted to ask some information.
"You've been in a conflict with a soldier lately?"
Snail Kite nodded. "So you already know ......"
"I didn't mean to hurt anyone......," she said. Take out the silver beetle and prepare to return it to Zhou Shu.
She was mentally prepared to think that people came here for this.
"You're saying that you've been swept up by the soldiers by virtue of your presence in the Justice Society. Almost sold into slavery?"
Snail Kite nodded.
Zhou Shu sighed and asked the snail kite to put away the silver beetle.
"You saved me once before, and I gave you a beetle to defend yourself. Now it seems that I was lucky that I did, otherwise you would have been out of luck. β
Snail Kite smiled. "Yes, now you're my savior. β
"Sort of, but you still saved my life. There's no such thing as a flat thing, don't you think?"
After explaining the matter clearly, Zhou Shu was going to go to the officer later and ask him to rob women casually over there. This incident is purely the officer's death, otherwise it would not have caused the snail kite to resist.
The two looked at the sun in the sky and remembered the sultry afternoon before, and it is estimated that such a sultry climate will not be repeated this year. Zhou Shu looked at the girl in front of him with a smile, and asked yì to find a place to eat some ice, which made the snail kite very happy.
There are still a lot of empty houses in the city, and the two of them found one at random, Zhou Shu climbed over the wall and dragged the snail kite into the yard, thinking about invading private territory. As a result, the snail kite was not at ease when she climbed down the wall, and her clothes and chest were cut by a protruding stone chip. Not to mention, the entire front chest is exposed, and the chest is still bloodstained, which looks scary.
The snail kite is a person who is afraid of pain, and has already covered her chest and squeaked and cried out that it hurts. Zhou Shu coughed on the side, conjured up the medicine box out of thin air, and pretended to say: "I just have something at hand that can help you treat, let me take a look." β
The snail kite's eyes widened, and she didn't see how the man in front of her had conjured the box. But she's used to it, and it's not the first time she's seen this magician play tricks.
Zhou Shu's face was flat, and he smiled evilly in his heart and took off the broken clothes of the snail kite, and used the excuse of checking the injury to grope his hands there.
Snail Kite felt a little embarrassed by this, but she didn't think that her 'boy' would excite other men, and kept reminding herself not to think too much, it was just a normal bandage.
Her wound was in her small right half of the lower hemisphere, not very deep, but it was very unsightly. She had been cut when she had cut down the wall, and there was blood on the side of the small stone shard.
Zhou Shu took out the kettle to help the snail kite's injured chest clean, and removed the dirt inside, so that he could take jelly beans for a while. This is the first time he has washed a girl so seriously, it feels strange and interesting, and it seems that he can do more similar things in the future. (To be continued......)
