Chapter 028: Gu Lei, you don't want the tragedy to happen again, do you?

"What 5 meters a day?!"

Although Gu Lei knew that the fat man was greedy, he didn't expect that the other party was so greedy!

"What are you kidding, it's impossible!"

Other scholars also shouted and expressed their displeasure.

"Last time, the price was 4 meters a day, do you know how many people starved to death outside the Divine State?"

"The orcs have been here for two months, 60 days, and it will cost 300 meters for one person!"

"If you do this, you will destroy the state of God!"

“......”

The accusations came to the fat man like raindrops, and the fat man sat on the chair like a mountain of meat, not hurting or itching, and standing still.

In the midst of the accusations, Ludon recognized the identity of the fat man.

Lu Deng once met each other at a dinner party, he was the butler of a certain saint family, and he was also a figure with a head and face in the Divine State, and he had a lot of power to speak.

The Saint family is very secretive and will not disclose their origin from that saint.

Luton had been curious about this, but could not find the right opportunity to ask.

Of course, Ludon is a newcomer, and many secrets are simply not qualified to know.

Under the surface of everyone's enthusiasm for him, there are still a few fears and alienations.

Only the ladies of the dinner party had no reservations about Luden.

When everyone was tired of scolding, the fat man stroked a wrench on his finger and said slowly,

"Scholar Ghuray, if you want to counterattack the orcs, you don't just need to submit a bill and a referendum... Even if you succeed in doing everything, where do the warriors come from, where do the armor come from, and where do the weapons come from? ”

His questioning was like a sharp feather arrow breaking through the leather armor, instantly quieting everyone present, and lacking confidence.

If they want to counterattack, they must have an army.

The Shinto has an army, but in order to mobilize, even if it is passed by a referendum, the proposer must raise the military expenses.

Gu Lei stiffened his neck, panted, and said viciously, "I am willing to go to the battlefield with my division!" ”

As a scholar of the Holy Law with a backbone, he is not just a rhetorical man.

This courage and determination alone amazed Luden.

But

If you want to solve this problem in front of you, it is not enough to rely on personal courage and determination.

"I have never questioned your qualities, or rather, I have never questioned the qualities of any scholar."

The fat man put his right hand on his chest and said reverently,

"Except, of course, Badwan."

As soon as these words came out, all the scholars in the audience laughed tacitly.

Badwan, an old and stubborn name, now works as a legal adviser to slave owners and is regarded as a disgrace to scholars.

There are only three things that can unite the scholars of the Holy Law in a quarrel and unite with the outside world:

The Holy Codex, the Orcs, and Badwan.

As long as you humiliate Badwan, you are a good friend of scholars.

The atmosphere of the original stalemate eased in an instant.

"In fact, pricing temporary residency at a price of 5 meters can not only solve the problem of military spending." ”

Obviously, the fat man came prepared, fiddling back and forth with his two short hands, and in an extremely seductive voice, he said his own plan:

"The Divine State can receive more miso, and the poor who cannot enter the Divine State can go out with the warriors and even be trained to become a reserve... On behalf of my own family, I am willing to donate 24,000 meters worth of materials, and I believe that the other saint families are the same. ”

24,000 meters, according to the exchange rate, is equivalent to 100 small gold coins, 500 grams of gold!

That's not a small amount of money for a gratuitous donation.

The thirteen saint descendants shot at the same time, that is, 1,300 small gold coins, which was enough to support the expedition of a legion!

When the fat man made his own conditions, even the most determined Gu Lei was a little shaken.

I have to say that his plan is wonderful and convincing, and the most important thing is that the fat man has grasped the weakness of the scholars.

If Gu Lei and the others want to counterattack the orcs, they can't do without the support of the Holy Descent family.

In this case, the only people whose interests are harmed are the citizens who live outside the city of the Divine State.

There is no choice but to suffer them a little longer.

The fat man almost succeeded,

If Ludon hadn't been there.

After the 'temporary residency pricing power' came out, Luden's brain began to run at a rapid pace.

If the price of temporary residence is set at 5 meters per day, most people outside the city will not be able to enter the state of God for refuge.

If it is set at 1 meter so per day, it is 30 meters a month, and orcs generally come for 1-3 months, and the cost of housing does not exceed 100 meters.

For survival, this price is much cheaper.

Normal families with some savings can support themselves by tightening their belts.

Ludon realized that something was possible.

If he can reduce the [daily cost], it is equivalent to indirectly saving a large number of people.

What is it?

This is a real blessing!

Just as Gourley was about to reply, Ludon spoke,

"Gu Lei, is it convenient to take a step to speak?"

"Okay, over here."

Gu Lei led Ludon to the pantry on the side, and looked at Ludon curiously, "What do you suggest?" ”

Lutdon had already organized his language and came up and asked,

"I wasn't in the Divine State when the orcs attacked last time, and I heard that the last time the temporary residency was priced at 4 meters per day?"

"That's right."

Gu Lei nodded and said angrily,

"4 meters a day, it's too expensive! Shenbang has never had such a high price! They now want 5 meters a day! ”

The last time the orcs attacked, it lasted a total of 64 days.

If a person wants to live in the Divine State, it will cost 256 meters to live alone, and 1 small gold coin is not enough!

And that's just the cost of residency!

Gourley described to Lutdon some of the human tragedies of this period, which made people shudder.

In the end, Gu Lei was angry, and he was still scolding in his mouth,

"These greedy guys, after profiting from the last pricing, have a growing appetite!"

If you want to get temporary residency, you can not only spend misso, but also use hard currency of value such as grain.

According to Luden's observations, 2 meters of grain can be exchanged for 1 day of residence.

Suppose that after the price of 4 Miso is announced, the people who hold Miso in their hands will definitely find a way to exchange Miso for food and exchange grain for residency rights as soon as possible!

If at this time, someone is hoarding goods and speculating on prices.

Grain that was originally worth 2 meters is possible to fry it to 3 meters, or even 3.99 meters!

After all, 3.99 meters is 0.01 less than the daily cost of 4 meters!

In other words, the higher the price of temporary residency, the higher the price of goods in the state of God!

And the Saint Family that has hoarded hard currency such as food and wine in advance will be able to profit more from it!

The grain they harvested before was now sold for 4 meters, and the profit was doubled!

Faced with double profits, what these greedy guys can do, Ludon knows too well.

After all, Luden was one of them, even extremely good.

Listening to Gu Lei's words, Ludon nodded slightly and asked rhetorically,

"Guray, you don't want the last tragedy to happen again, do you?"
