Transform another world

The big businessman will not be responsible. Secondly, every traveling businessman is not paid. According to the big businessman, these poor ghosts have no ability to hire guards at all, so those guards are the rewards of these people. They are still very kind, because in addition to guards, they are also willing to bear the food consumed along the way, and these food can often only barely fill the stomachs of traveling merchants.

What He Anqi couldn't understand was that the traveling merchants were very happy with this kind of treatment. Relying on the small amount of food, well, maybe this kind of food is usually enough to fill their stomachs, but when they are outside, these people What they do is the work of cows and horses. He Anqi doesn't think the food is enough to satisfy their consumption.But the merchants are willing to work hard for such a reward!

Because the benefits of traveling merchants are not given by big businessmen, but earned by themselves.

Traveling merchants can carry some goods by themselves besides the goods of the big merchants, but because the traveling merchants are not very rich, naturally there are not many goods prepared, most of the goods in a car are the goods of the big merchants, very few Some are their own goods.Selling their goods to small villages along the way is how they make money.

For them, they paid their physical strength, and the big merchants were responsible for their consumption and protection along the way. This is a "good thing" to help each other, and they don't feel that they are at a disadvantage.

And the traveling merchants also have other businesses, that is, sending letters. In this world with inconvenient transportation, they will also undertake the postal service, and the price is so low that people are desperate. At least He Anqi feels very desperate, but the traveling merchants are very satisfied. .

For traveling merchants, He Anqi has a feeling that iron can't be made of steel. They are far from realizing how important they are, and they are far from realizing how much room for development they have.For thousands of years, they have paid their lives one after another. According to He Anqi's understanding, traveling merchants rarely live to be 30 years old, and these people are the strongest existences in the shanty towns, because those who are not strong cannot do traveling. commercial.

He Anqi didn't know how to save them, nor how to change their ideas, but the rickshaw that He Anqi unintentionally launched changed the lives of traveling merchants.

Compared with traveling merchants, rickshaw is undoubtedly a very attractive job. First of all, it is safe!Moreover, compared with a carload of goods, a person is really light, even if this person is a big fat man like a fat pig.

It can be said that He Anqi's first batch of rickshaw drivers were a group of traveling merchants!

The work of a rickshaw driver is not only safe, but also the salary is not low, and the logistic support is also very high.As a rickshaw driver, you and your family will have a safe place to live, and you can buy it at this time. As long as you save money and pay the house price, you can own your own house, and the house is very good. For rickshaw drivers, It was simply an irresistible temptation.

Moreover, they themselves can still eat very rich food when they are working, and they no longer have to endure hunger and work hard, and they don't have to worry that a robber will suddenly rush out and kill themselves when they are asleep, or run out. A monster eats itself in one bite. For wandering merchants, a rickshaw driver is their dream job.

It is precisely because of this that the number of merchants in Wangcheng began to decrease sharply. In addition, He Anqi banned the slave trade, so the available labor force became even scarcer.

This time, along with the border nobles who came to Wangcheng, there were also traveling merchants from other places. After seeing such a "great" profession as a rickshaw driver, they were also moved.Some small villages and towns may not be able to do it, but the royal cities of other vassal states can definitely do it.Because of this, He Anqi has received a lot of petitions, and these traveling merchants sincerely beg the Holy Maiden to open a rickshaw branch in their city.

He Anqi has already agreed, and she took the initiative to hand over this job to the Pope, because she is really out of resources, and if the rickshaw work is to continue to work normally, the rickshaw drivers need a strong backing, and the Temple of Light is undoubtedly the best backing.The nobles can ignore the kingship, but they can't fight the temple, that will make them lose everything easily, and no one will help them.

And such news has spread among the big businessmen, and every shrewd businessman has realized that he will face the biggest crisis, which is the problem of manpower!

This problem is very serious, it is so serious that it concerns their own life and death, but they have nothing to do. Maybe they can improve the treatment of traveling merchants, but how much is appropriate to pay?It's impossible to be treated the same as a rickshaw driver, right?That would put them out of business!

But even if it is the same treatment, one is not in any danger, the worst is to be beaten up by the nobles, but someone will make decisions for them in the future, as long as they don't die, maybe they can get a lot of compensation, even if they die , There will also be a nobleman who will die with him, and then his family can still get a sum of compensation, which is not too cost-effective. Human lives in shanty towns are never worth anything!

But what about traveling merchants?The same treatment is good, but there are many dangers along the way, and whether they can come back alive is a question mark. In this way, how can anyone still be willing to be a traveling merchant?

He Anqi doesn't know the troubles of the big businessmen. If she knows, she will be very distressed, because paralyzing the business of a world is definitely not a friendly gesture to the world, and more desperate things will happen, and If it is not done well, the biggest crisis in human history will occur.

It's just that He Anqi doesn't know at all at this time, what she seems to know is whether Anna is satisfied with today's dinner?She looks quite satisfied, but after eating so much, will Anna really not gain weight?

He Anqi was very worried. If she raised the elf princess into a big fat man, would the elves really not start a war against humans?

94. The monster in the water

Before the winter, He Anqi had already realized the severity of the situation, so she had been doing her best to store food, hoping that she would not become a burden to the royal family, and at least feed the group of people she protected.

He Anqi is very clear that starving to death is inevitable when the total amount of food is not enough. She just doesn't want people around her to starve to death. Although selfish, it is all she can do. As for what will happen in the end? What it looks like, and whether you can finally be indifferent to others starving to death, that is another matter.

The urgent need for food puts He Anqi under a lot of pressure. Even though her granary is still relatively sufficient so far, this feeling of only going out but not getting in, watching the food slowly decrease, still makes her very uncomfortable.

"Sophia, how about the royal family's food reserves, can it last until the harvest?" He Anqi frowned while looking at the documents in hand and asked Sophia, even if she decided to take the route, she couldn't let go of the things in front of her. For Sophia From a personal point of view, Anna is definitely not the kind of guest she expected.

"It's not very good, and I can't guarantee it." Sophia's face was serious, and her appearance of worrying about the country and the people was very suitable for a princess.

"Didn't we get a lot of food from those landlords?" He Anqi glanced at the props in the corner. She has received a lot of business recently. In order to show the difficulty of the work, she had to extend the delivery time, so she did Good things are now piled up in the corner of the study like garbage.

Sophia followed He Anqi's gaze, looking at the enchanted props in the corner, feeling all kinds of feelings in her heart, not knowing what language to use to express it.Those incomparably precious enchanting items in her eyes were dusted in the corner by He Anqi like garbage, so she had to be responsible for packing the items every time she delivered them, even if she was not a qualified businessman , but she is also very clear that things in a broken wooden box are definitely not as expensive as those in a brocade box, and an excellent packaging can also increase the value of the item.

"You can't expect them to bring enough food for the royal family to survive the winter. It is certain that their situation is better than that of the royal city, and it is certain that they have sufficient food, but you can't expect them to spend their money to help the royal family. For them , watching the royal family gradually weaken is more in their interest."

He Anqi sighed, even if she is a political idiot, she also knows very well that it is definitely an extravagant hope to expect a group of nobles who don't take human lives seriously to do things that are not in their own interests. Thinking that many civilians would be starved to death, He Anqi couldn't pass her own test, but she couldn't force these nobles to give their all. This kind of dilemma made He Anqi very uncomfortable and also Let her affirm once again that she is not suitable to be a high-level person at all.

"If you really didn't have enough food, what would you do?" He Anqi believed that as a country that lacked food all the year round, they must have a corresponding method, "Of course, I already know the method of killing some people in the shantytowns." , what I want to know is if there is any other way."

Although He Anqi knows that this method of sacrificing some people is a forced choice, but He Anqi still doesn't like it very much, but she can't blame Sophia too much. After all, the royal family has already worked hard to make Wangcheng persist in such a difficult situation. So, it can be seen that the royal family's practice is actually
