Gold is Justice

Ariel didn't express any surprise about this, let everyone in the guild discuss a matter together, and let everyone explain their views on a matter from their own professional point of view, and then gather various possibilities A way for Ariel to try to make the right decisions.

And there is another thing, that is, Cream did not say that it was discussed in the Executive Council.In other words, it is best not to let the government officials know about this matter at the moment, but it is better to only discuss it within the scope of Song of the Mermaid.

Facts have proved that Cream's judgment is correct.

At dinner time that night, after all the guild members were summoned to gather around the dining table, close the door, and look at the food on the table, Ariel finally understood the matter that made Cream feel that everyone must gather together. What was the matter discussed.

"Things... have become more expensive?"

At the dinner table, Ariel was a little surprised by Suta's topic at first.

At the moment, the chairman continued: "What kind of expensive do you mean by becoming expensive?"

Suta lowered his head in embarrassment, the paladin's posture still looks so elegant.She smiled, and said to Ariel with a little apology——

"President, I don't understand the economy very well, so the only thing I know is that in the past month, our guild's monthly food expenses and daily operation and maintenance expenses seem to be rising every time."

"From the statistics Ke Ke gave me now, it started in March. From then on, I only needed about 20 yuan for food every month, but it became 23 yuan that month."

"Actually, I also felt that the cost was a bit too much in that month, but at that time I thought it was because we occasionally exceeded a little bit, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But it turned out that in the next month, the daily consumption amount They are all rising steadily. Even in August, our guild’s daily food expenses have become 67 yuan per month, which has more than tripled compared to February this year.”

Hearing this news, Ariel frowned accordingly.

Vaguely, she felt a very bad sign of danger.It's just that she hasn't figured out what this means yet.

Suta continued: "In addition to food costs, other material costs are also rising. Some things have even increased to about ten times what they were at the beginning of this year. Isn't this price scary?"

It was Margo who spoke next, with her hands sticking to a bunch of white hair, she kept circling, and said casually: "Yes, yes, in fact, it's nothing to eat, no matter how high the price of this kind of thing is, it's still a small amount of money. But the cosmetics I want to use recently cost only five silver coins at the beginning of the year, but when I went to see them yesterday, the price of this product has increased to 50 yuan! At this price, the volcanic eruption is not so powerful."

Hearing these news, Ariel nodded lightly. After thinking for a while, she turned to Ke Ke, who lowered her head and only cared about eating.

"cocoa."

Ke Ke was still eating. She picked up a chicken leg, completely disregarding that she was a young girl, and opened her mouth to take a bite. Her mouth was full of greasy food, and she continued to happily eat bread and drink mushroom soup.

"cocoa."

Hearing Ariel's cry again, Margo next to her gently pushed the girl. Only then did the necromancer come back to his senses, glanced at Ariel, then swallowed the food in his mouth, biting Head: "Sister President, what's wrong?"

Ariel looked at this little girl, she was originally a very cute little girl, but now she turned out to be so graceful and graceful.It's just that her behavior doesn't look like a normal girl, which is a pity, but also a little fortunate.Then asked——

"I have given you the accounts of Pelican City and Song of the Mermaid to calculate, what do you think is going on in this situation?"

After being caught by Ariel, Keke tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "Sister President, I also thought it was a strange thing at first, but then I thought, it might be because of our relationship with Pelican City during that time." The relationship between economic reforms. Didn’t we replace the original metal coins with paper money? Is it because of this that the prices of many things have increased?”

After a short pause, she continued: "So I think, this situation is likely to be temporary. After our currency issuance reaches a certain level, everything will stabilize, and then the price of our banknotes will not There will be huge fluctuations again. The rapid fluctuations before this should be regarded as a kind of self-regulation of the market, which is normal."

Although Coco explained the reason, Ariel's brows did not relax because of this.

Indeed, currency exchange may indeed cause economic fluctuations, and such fluctuations may even be very violent.

However, Ariel thought that the volatility caused by the exchange of coins for banknotes would be at most one or two months, and it should be stable after three months at most.

However, the current situation has lasted from March to nearly October now, which has entered the last quarter of the year, but prices are still soaring rapidly!Is this really normal?

Seeing Ariel's worried look now, Tesla next to him thought for a while and said, "President, could it be... We had a problem with setting the price of banknotes at that time?"

Ariel was taken aback, then turned to look at the assembler: "What's the problem?"

Tesla said: "In other words, we probably shouldn't have set the minimum denomination points to exchange low-value iron coins, copper coins, and silver coins, but directly set one iron coin to be exchanged for one yuan mermaid coin. In this case, Maybe the price will become like this at the beginning, and then our price will become very stable after a sharp fluctuation?"

Ariel thought for a while and said, "You mean... we should set the denomination of the banknotes higher from the beginning?"

Tesla nodded: "I think so. That...but then again, I am an outsider in this field after all. In our entire guild, you are the president who is really an expert. So I just propose a My own thoughts are not necessarily right."

After Tesla finished his opinion, before Ariel could react, Ego on the other side covered his mouth and laughed.When everyone's eyes turned to him, the elf said very leisurely——

"During the Demon Sealing War, I have seen some countries. For various reasons, they even sold a copper coin worth [-] gold coins."

The first thousand and 460 chapters of inflation

"President, about the salary increase I mentioned earlier..."

Today, Ariel is still immersed in the strength she possesses, and seems a little intoxicated.But it wasn't long before she had such a sweet dream when it was broken by a voice next to her.

"Uh-huh?"

Ariel suddenly raised her head and looked out of the window, it was already evening.

Recently, she has been busy all day long in order to reorganize the team, and unconsciously fell asleep lying on the table.

She rubbed her eyes and asked, "What time is it...?"

Cream next to him sighed, and said, "It's evening now, after dinner, the next car race is about to start. Today is Margaux confronting that eldest princess girl, although Margo verbally said that she would give that The little girl will teach you a lesson, but I believe that she will follow the plan we set before."

Ariel let out a breath, and said slowly: "Well, that's good. Well... what plan did I make before?"

Cream smiled awkwardly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's that silly girl who made Margaux lose to Rummy. Mochi's mother will also participate in today's competition. After all, it's not a tiebreaker, so Ms. Nuomi agreed. I won’t cross the line as No.1, so that Margaux will have enough time to compete with Rummy.”

Hearing this, Ariel finally recalled some impressions in her mind.She nodded, then patted herself on the cheek, and said, "Okay! What am I going to do today? ... Oh, I remembered, I'm going to chat with the soldiers and listen to their hearts Speaking. By the way, we have to decide who the leader of the army is... Where is that child, Jelly?"

Cream raised his brows again, as if he was a bit depressed that his words were ignored over and over again.

But he couldn't change the topic again, so he could only follow Ariel and say, "That kid, Jelly, has become more cautious since he stopped his uncle last time. President, he talked to you for a long time that night." Right? How on earth did he manage to kill so many people by himself? Has his lightning power... recovered?"

Ariel shook her head, and said: "His power...is quite unique. Junapa said that this kind of situation is very rare, even before the War of Sealing Demons, there were few cases. And after that, no one went out of his way to have done research on it.”

Cream thought for a while and said, "What kind of research?"

Ariel smiled wryly, and said: "Destroy the magic affinity in your body in an extremely painful way, and at the same time, you will be greatly stimulated mentally. After destroying your own magic through a double blow of body and spirit , and re-explore your own magic affinity through strong perseverance. In this way, you may be able to explore a magic affinity that is similar to the previous magic affinity, but may be completely different in nature."

"Now, Jelly's situation is similar to this... It's just that this situation is too special, and there is currently no special magic teaching to guide the magic on him, so everything can only be explored by himself. Before he can control his power, he decided to use it as little as possible."

After listening, Cream nodded slightly.

He has no magic affinity, so he is not very able to understand the troubles and pains of this kind of magician.He just has a kind of curiosity unique to assassins, imagining a completely different kind of enemy, what kind of attack advantages and environmental weaknesses will this kind of enemy have?To prepare for possible battlefields in the future.

"By the way, you just said... about the salary increase, right?"

Just when Cream was thinking about the jelly, Ariel suddenly changed the topic back.

Cream was taken aback for a moment, and the seriousness at the corner of his mouth immediately turned into a smile!He hurriedly walked up to Ariel, and said cheerfully: "President, do you still remember? If possible... I would like to represent all the members of the guild and discuss with you about salary..."

Although Ariel didn't want to mention the salary increase, everyone in Song of the Mermaid had indeed put in a lot of effort in protecting themselves and maintaining Pelican City.

Moreover, Ariel believed that what Cream said was true, not only for himself, but also for other people in the guild.

After all, Cream still has an income as the sheriff of Pelican City, and Margaux also has an income for coordinating the hosting of the entire racing competition and a sales commission for selling elemental cars.Even Margaux, she would go to the hospital to work as a nurse when she had nothing to do, and she would do some work related to pastors part-time to earn some extra money.Coco is in the guild on weekdays, and she will not do it unless she arranges tasks, but in addition, she also takes on many chores related to hosting, the most important of which is that she also serves as the financial manager of Pelican City. The heavy responsibility of accounting staff, of course, will also arrange for her a salary of administrative staff.

But in comparison, other guild members basically have nothing to do independently.

Brad and Buffy stick to each other all day, wandering around the Fairy Forest, or wandering around the city.

The blood clans of Mochi and Cheese only work at night, but now the lights in Pelican City are brightly lit at night, and with the members of the blood clan joining in, although the whole night cannot be said to be very lively, it is still full of life and there is no need They do too much security work.

In addition to cleaning and preparing meals in the guild, Suta has been using the "Magic Swordsman Manual" to massage her husband, and of course it is impossible to have any extra income.

Tesla has been doing research on new ways to use the Elemental Machine.

Jelly is also researching where her power comes from and how far she can go.

Therefore, these members basically don't have any extra income. Apart from the guild's food and housing, Ariel doesn't believe that they can save any money.

Of course, if they were able to save some money in their own way, that would be some comfort to Ariel.

The wages of guild members have not been raised for almost two years, but the financial revenue of the marginal province has increased significantly.As materials become abundant, prices will of course inevitably rise.

It is indeed inappropriate to measure the salary income of these guild members with the salary that was not bad two years ago.

This is exactly the reason why Ariel really plans to give them a little salary increase.

No matter how reluctant she is, no matter how much she wants these guild members to work for her for free, she, the guild leader, can't see them really risking everything for her, but now she has to tremble even when she goes to a pub to order a glass of beer, right?

"Well, the issue of your salary. It is indeed time to think about it. Cream, to what extent do you think your salary should be raised is more appropriate?"

Faced with Ariel's question, Cream thought for a while and said, "President, back then, Mr. Round Cheese's pies were still paid for with copper coins. But now, buying a pie of the same size has already cost as much as before." The price is about one silver coin. In other words, Brad’s monthly salary is actually two yuan, and according to his salary, his money is only enough to buy twenty cheese pies.”

"I think... No matter how you say it, he should be able to eat all-you-can-eat cheese pies every day without feeling financially strapped."

After thinking for a while, Ariel said: "This guy has a big appetite. If he can eat it every day, he can eat the round cheese shop directly. But you are right, let me think about it... …Well, now his monthly salary is two yuan, and I will add ten yuan to him. Next month, I will add five yuan to him, and then add three yuan, two yuan, and so on. His salary becomes 20 yuan a month. The income of others is the same, how about it?"

To be honest, Ariel thinks that she is good enough, after all, her salary has increased tenfold!And every guild member mentioned this.

As far as the boss is concerned, Ariel even feels that she has failed as a boss...how could she be so kind to her employees?This is simply a harbinger of losing money!

Alas, how can I say that my boss is really kind to his subordinates?

Originally, Ariel thought that her salary increase was quite acceptable.But what she didn't expect was that after hearing this answer, Cream did not appear very happy.

The assassin frowned slightly, and then said: "President, you should also often read the financial income statement of our Pelican City. I wonder if you have investigated the average income of each industry in our city?"

Hearing Cream's sudden mention of this, Ariel instinctively made her feel that something was wrong even though she still didn't know what happened.

At that moment, she returned to a serious posture from the original lazy sitting posture, and the laziness on her face disappeared, and it became a serious and serious one.

She nodded slightly and said, "What exactly do you want to say? Speak slowly and carefully."

Cream took a breath, thanking the president for giving him full trust.It's just that the sheriff didn't say it directly, but made a suggestion: "Let me say it may not be very detailed. I want to save this matter for dinner and explain it when everyone is there. Maybe it will be clearer."

Ariel didn't express any surprise about this, let everyone in the guild discuss a matter together, and let everyone explain their views on a matter from their own professional point of view, and then gather various possibilities A way for Ariel to try to make the right decisions.

And there is another thing, that is, Cream did not say that it was discussed in the Executive Council.In other words, it is best not to let the government officials know about this matter at the moment, but it is better to only discuss it within the scope of Song of the Mermaid.
