Soul echo

Chapter 267 A 'hero' in another sense
With the end of the [Battle of God Killing] and the news that the 'Grand Tournament' will be cancelled, the adventurers who gathered in Paris and the fighters who thought they were highly skilled in martial arts gradually left.

Among them, many players left Paris, either returning to the town where they had already established their foundations, or embarking on an adventurous journey.

Most of them knew that the reason why Zhong Ye still stayed in this city was because he was waiting for his new weapon.

The city of Paris is of no value to them. Although there are many missions here, those missions have nothing to do with 'soul debris' and can only give them money.

Instead of staying and competing with others for the number of times the dungeon has been cleared, it is better to embark on the long-awaited "adventure journey".

——When it comes to 'Sword and Magic', isn't 'Adventure' the most anticipated thing?

Therefore, before the local adventurers in Paris had time to conflict with the 'outside adventurers', they were surprised to find that those adventurers who didn't know where they came from disappeared, just like when those guys appeared, appearing inexplicably and inexplicably disappears.

But then, the local adventurers discovered that not only the number of quests posted on the quest bar dropped sharply, but the quality also dropped.

They don't know what happened, but if they continue like this, they will start to make trouble within themselves...

"...Probably because of the termination of the 'Great Contest', many merchants' capital chains have been broken!"

Originally, in order to cope with the lively "big contest", many businessmen placed large orders for factories and workshops, but the sudden accident not only brought many traumas to Paris, but also stopped the "big contest".

A lot of goods were piled up in the warehouse, and the scattered adventurers made a lot of money during the preparations for the 'Great Contest'. A single adventurer might only make a little bit, but thousands of adventurers added up. A small number too.

The end of the 'Grand Tournament' allowed the adventurers to leave Paris, taking a lot of money with them.

If no one consumes, the goods will naturally not be sold. Merchants can only choose to lower the price or wait for the goods to rot, but the problem is that the consumption power of a single person is limited, especially in this era when most people have no spare money, and the celebrations come to an abrupt end , people lose their reason to consume.

The break in the capital chain will definitely not only affect the sales side, but also the production side and the raw material side will be greatly affected, but only the merchants and factories in Paris are suffering for the time being.

Just from the decrease in the number of commissions from the Adventurer's House, Zhong Ye was able to see so many things from small to large.

When he explained these concepts to Lilian, Lilian half-understood, and felt that she understood it, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that she didn't understand much at all.

Zhong Ye didn't deliberately restrain his voice, so when he talked about it, the adventurers around him also heard it.

In order to listen to Zhong Ye's analysis, they even stopped making noise and put down their wine glasses, so that the whole hall became extremely quiet, even the receptionist sitting at the front desk was listening attentively.

After a long silence, someone asked, "So, is there any solution?"

The people who had just become agitated suddenly became quiet again, and looked at Zhong Ye.

"I'm not a professional in this field, so I can't think of any solution." Zhong Ye shook his head, "Someone must eat this bitter fruit, either for these merchants and factory owners themselves, or for others, such as kings and nobles — that's all I can think of."

Before the words were finished, a series of lamentations sounded, and Zhong Ye's answer obviously did not satisfy them.

Many of the adventurers wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do some business during the 'Great Contest', so they took out their life savings, but they lost everything.

Originally, he had barely suppressed the pain, but after hearing Zhong Ye's analysis just now, he felt so sad that he couldn't help crying on the table.

The hall was noisy again, but the atmosphere was more than a little lower than before.

Zhong Ye sighed, called Lilian, and left the Adventurer's House.

Lilian followed Zhong Ye ignorantly. In the barrage, audiences majoring in finance and history were already explaining to her and other audiences how cruel this situation was for businessmen and workers in Paris. .

The general situation is similar to Zhong Ye's analysis, but there is one thing that Zhong Ye didn't explain - even if a businessman in debt is so desperate that he takes his family to commit suicide, no one will dare to take over the goods he has hoarded, because it is extremely difficult to deal with. When the goods are delivered, the debt will not be written off, so there is a high probability that those goods are 'dead', and even if they are left to decay or stolen by someone, no one will take over them.

In this case, businessmen will "fight each other" with others in order to recover costs and recover losses.

If nothing else happened, wealthy businessmen and nobles who were able to solve some of the problems would definitely stand by and watch the businessmen and factories go bankrupt before entering the market.

As long as the debt problem can be solved, what they can get is a batch of benign assets. If it is not an accident that breaks the capital chain, the value of the factories and shops that are normally produced and sold is at least ten times higher than after bankruptcy.

Because there is no guarantee of the system, dealers and factories in this era have extremely low resistance to pressure. If things are allowed to develop, the city of Paris will fall into a downturn for a long time, but these things will not shake the foundation of the nobility, so they It is very likely that they will stand by and watch-even if many factories are behind an aristocrat, or are themselves run by an aristocrat.

After reading these bullet screens, Lilian finally understood what was going to happen in Paris, and immediately felt creepy.

This big city is about to usher in a turmoil, but this turmoil will not affect the interests of most nobles at all. Therefore, they can watch many people die, many people fall into the abyss of debt, and finally come out and use people The blood and tears made into a meal, eaten in one bite.

It has gained benefits without hurting face, which is very in line with the "elegance" advocated by nobles.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lilian broke away from that terrifying fantasy. Looking at the desolate streets and dejected pedestrians around her, she pursed her lips.

"Teacher, where are we going?"

Lilian was very aware of Zhong Ye's character. He was a man of action and very kind. Now that he knew these things, it was impossible for him to sit idly by.

"Go to the church of the God of Commerce."

As time slowly approaches deep winter, the weather seems to be getting colder and colder.

Paris, which is in full swing, has now fallen into a low ebb. Few people walk on the street, and even if there are others, they wrap themselves tightly.

Merchants have lost their desire to sell, and pedestrians have lost their desire to consume. The city is slipping towards the edge of fragmentation little by little.

Zhong Ye breathed out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Your teacher, I have saved Paris and the Kingdom of Gaul anyway, so it's not too much to ask the king for some rewards, right?"

"Then why go to the Church of the God of Commerce first?" Lilian asked again.

"Because, they may be worrying about how to solve these problems now. Although Paris is a big city, foreign funds often flow in, but it is winter now. To revive Paris, a large number of floating population and funds are needed, but it is obviously not available now." This condition is met." Zhong Ye narrowed his eyes, "And if I can successfully get the reward from the king, I will be able to solve part of the debt problem of Parisian merchants and factories in the form of a shareholding - this requires the Church of the God of Commerce cooperation, after all, I don’t understand these things.”

In fact, this is the transfer of debts. The problem has not been substantially resolved, but the outbreak of the problem has been delayed. Only by recovering losses during this respite can the problem be resolved.

This is not a good way, it can even be said to be stupid, as long as any accident occurs, all previous efforts will be wasted.

However, it was the Church of the God of Commerce that Zhong Ye sought help from. If nothing else happened, the clergymen of that church are now in a state of desperation, thinking about how to solve these problems smoothly.

As long as they can solve the problem, they will definitely be willing to give 120% of their efforts to prevent any accidents from happening.

"Also, I need people from the Church of the God of Commerce to help me introduce the king."

As long as he can meet the king and get the reward smoothly, Zhong Ye will be able to get a steady flow of funds, and suddenly jump from the edge of bankruptcy to the level of a rich man.

——When he has money, he can do more things!
