From Wild Mage to Wizard King

In this chaotic world caused by the Green Tide, ordinary people may not even recognize the Alliance Army, let alone someone like Roland who came directly from the air, so it is useless to reason with them.

And pure disaster relief cannot be carried out. The reason is simple: the people do not believe that you will distribute food for no reason.

Displaced people do not believe in the benefits of free food. They believe that relying on their own strength can feed their families.

Therefore, Roland's work-for-relief policy is more suitable for Donnar's current situation.

Anyway, they all have skills. Since you don’t trust Roland, then just work for Roland.

It is more reasonable to give them work and food, and also give them some small money along the way to give them more hope and stimulate business circulation and so on.

Teach them to build houses, give them food, and when they finish building, tell the refugees that the wages previously paid to you can be used to buy the houses you built. If it is not enough, you only need to pay a deposit, and the city hall can rent it to you first. , I will pay it back later when I have money.

Similarly, if you want to farm but don't have the money to buy land, the government can also grant you the reclaimed land. According to Roland's farming order, 40% of the tax and 10% of the lease fee will only be the national tax after five years. However, Although the land was sold to them, Roland also made a patch to prohibit the sale of land. If you want to sell the land, you can only sell it to the city hall. Moreover, the amount of land that each person can purchase is limited.

Roland had planned it well.

However, Roland had a small problem when it came to distributing money. Basically, no one wanted the copper coins he exchanged specifically for Xinar.

Roland originally had a good idea. He would pay workers wages, deduct their consumption of food, and then give them some copper coins as final wages.

As a result, most of the hungry people did not want copper coins.

In addition to some copper coins given out a few days ago, later, after hearing that the soldiers could get food stamps in exchange for flatbread, they all asked to exchange them for food stamps.

After officials at all levels reported it to Roland, he naturally agreed to their request.

Anyway, it's not a troublesome thing. If you want money, just take money. If you want food stamps, just take food stamps. At the worst, they can be allowed to use food stamps to pay taxes and buy houses and farmland.

Fortunately, the number of Roland's coins is limited. If they choose food stamps, Roland's coins can support him for a while longer, giving him more time to continue to develop.

Thinking of this, in order to get more people to exchange for food stamps, Roland can give a discount of 10% more when taking food stamps.

Roland's decision successfully made almost all the people choose to exchange for food stamps.

People don't want copper coins, and soldiers don't want silver coins. This leads to a lot of copper coins specially exchanged for Roland's space bracelet, and the silver coins are almost useless.

After staying in Jiuqi for several months, Roland's millions of copper coins and silver coins stored in Jiuqi's warehouse not only did not decrease, but actually increased a lot.

Although some workers and soldiers chose to take money, because Roland asked officials to open grain stores all over Jiuqi to meet the people's need to exchange grain stamps for big cakes, and at the same time, in order to recover the currency, Roland also allowed Use coins to buy pie.

Therefore, after knowing that they could spend money to buy food, the common people in Jiuqi directly dug out their wealth and couldn't wait to empty out the storage of food stores.

In order to alleviate this panic buying trend, Roland also raised the price of food several times, but it was still of no use. As long as the goods were available, they would be sold out instantly.

In the end, Roland could only choose to limit purchases. Food stamps could be exchanged at will, but if he wanted to buy with money, there was only a certain amount per day.

This has also caused the value of food stamps to increase again, and more and more people choose to exchange for food stamps.

In the end, this resulted in the current situation.

Roland's wages were getting smaller and smaller, but the amount of gold and silver recovered had remained stable.

At the same time, food stamps anchored by big cakes became a general equivalent widely accepted and circulated in Jiuqi and nearby villages, replacing gold and silver currency.

In this regard, Roland also accepted this situation half-heartedly. After all, food stamps are just paper, which is much easier to deal with than gold and silver currency.

The only problem is: this kind of food stamps, which are only circulated under Roland's control, have eliminated almost all private trade between the people and the outside world.

Because although food stamps are very useful at Roland's side and can be exchanged for basically anything, no one outside will recognize them.

However, Roland doesn't care about this very much. After all, Dongnar is in such chaos now. How can there be a caravan taking risks for a small profit in private trade? Basically, those who dare to run around for trade now are Large caravans, they look down on small profits from private trade, and they all do large-scale business directly with the government in order to seek huge profits.

Naturally, Roland did not refuse. He placed large orders with every large chamber of commerce that passed by Jiuqi, ranging from various infrastructure materials, medicinal materials and tools, to various high-level slaves who mastered production technology, as well as various intelligence. and publicity.

After the Great Chamber of Commerce filled in the last shortcomings of Old Qicheng, the development of Old Qicheng was also on the fast track.

Now there is a busy scene everywhere in Jiuqi, and there is even a false prosperity. At a glance, there is a lot of traffic and prosperity.

The reason why it is said to be false is because once Roland withdraws from the grain investment at this time, the entire Old Qi will enter a state of depression and even collapse quickly. However, as long as it persists for a few more months and waits for a batch of farmland grains to mature and be harvested, even if There won't be any problem even if the grain input is removed.

And if everything goes well, then, after the first batch of grain is harvested, the old Qi city will become Roland's stable rear base, which can continuously provide Roland with taxes and soldiers, and future plans will have a solid foundation.

Of course, the big changes in the old Qi can't be hidden from the outside world, especially when Roland did not deliberately cover it up and allowed the Chamber of Commerce to enter and exit public places, the prosperity of the old Qi was also spread by the caravans coming and going.

Although it is not clear how Roland did it, the prosperity of the old Qi naturally attracted attention from all sides.

However, Roland dared to do this, and naturally he had his confidence. After three months of training, the basic training of the soldiers has been almost completed, and then it's time to take them to see blood.

Moreover, the old Qi is still too small, and he needs an excuse, an excuse to expand within the coalition army.

So during this period of time, Roland has also made preparations. Whoever dares to cause trouble can only trouble them to death.

Roland is looking forward to which unlucky neighbor will do it to him first?
