Chapter 681 Everyone Licks Their Wounds (4/146)

Chapter 681 Everyone licks their wounds (4146)

Dark Portal Year 3 was a relatively peaceful year for the Alliance.

Duke continued to train Gianna evilly, oh, no, he taught her carefully.

He adopts a completely different teaching method from the Dalaran mage. In terms of character building, Duke often takes Jaina to Tirisfal Glades to eliminate the orcs, or takes Jaina to the Swamp of Sorrows to clean up the orcs there. Various swamp creatures.

Her Royal Highness, who was once as beautiful as a flower, often went out clean in the morning and turned into a muddy girl when she came back at night under Duke's torment.

At first, letters of complaint from the chief maids and court ladies of Kul Tiras flew to their home countries like snowflakes. Later, they found that many times, even after they were confirmed and submitted to King Daelin, they still fell into the dark. They also realized that their Majesty had acquiesced in all this. .

In the field of magic, Duke's education method is more like free-range education.

After scanning the system, Duke directly told Jaina that you can learn any book in any area here, any type you want. If you can't find the book, just ask ghosts, oh, ask Khadgar.

The bored Khadgar reads magic books every day because he has nothing to do, so he is more proficient than Duke.

Of course, Duke always has a way to show its presence and value.

Every time Jaina practiced a new magic, Duke, under the scan of the system elf, could always see at a glance what the problem was with Jaina and how to practice the metamagic expertise of that magic.

After going back and forth, no matter how unconvinced Gianna was, she had to admit that this mentor, who was only four years older than herself, was indeed qualified to teach her.

Time came to May of the 3rd year of the Dark Portal, entering the late spring and early summer, and the cement road running east to west across the entire Elwynn Forest was basically laid. The railway project, which was financed and provided by Duke and operated by dwarves, employing a large number of Stormwind Kingdom workers, was officially launched.

At the same time, there is an equally ambitious rebuilding project in Stormwind City.

Ryan had doubted whether it was reliable for a country as weak as Stormwind Kingdom to carry out two hugely expensive projects at the same time, consuming a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

Because purely in terms of money, the cost is more than 10 million gold coins, and no one can calculate the funds required for various small projects.

Duke responded this way: "If another person does it, it will be to seek death, but I am a once-in-a-millennium internal affairs genius in Azeroth, so leave it to me."

Duke's words were very bad, and the interior ministers were not convinced at first.

It has to be said that it is not easy for a college student who knows a little about market economy to travel to such a medieval world to do economics.

Blindly giving alms and distributing relief food, clothing and other disaster relief did initially avoid the worst situation of people starving to death and freezing to death.

But if you let it grow too much and for a long time, it will produce another result - it will easily lead to lazy people.

There are not people without holy character in the world. It is precisely because there are so many mediocre people that they yearn for saints. In other words, if all the people in the world were to live like an ascetic monk, 99% of them would quit.

Duke's approach is to provide relief through work.

The first step is to issue an announcement and directly tell the people that the country has just been destroyed once and the country has no money. In order to help everyone get through the difficulties and not starve to death, the country has handed over all the money and borrowed a lot of money and supplies. of. Instead of simply issuing an announcement, we asked town and village chiefs, and civil affairs officials from all over the country to rush the people to publicize it almost every day.

The second step is to implement the IOU system.

The kingdom doesn’t have that many gold coins in circulation, okay! Make a fool of yourself!

Duke spent three days setting up a complete IOU system.

Those who received national disaster relief grain in winter would write IOUs based on quantity and quality.

Those who took the cotton-padded clothes also owe it.

Those who get new homes owe more.

This is all owed to the Kingdom.

Then spring comes and it’s time to start paying off the debt. After the busy work of farming is over, they have to work for the country according to their own abilities.

How much does it take to build a railway in a day?

How much does it cost to join the patrol.

After the people were busy for a while, they discovered, hey! By working for the country to pay off debts, you will end up with a few extra pieces of money every day, which you can exchange for necessary food and daily necessities.

The white bars made by Duke cannot be counterfeited because they are magic items made by the magic apprentices he took in. The cost of making Baitiao itself far exceeds the value of Baitiao itself.

The result is a complete internal circular economic system controlled by the planned economy. It had been running for two months since March. When Ryan cautiously came to Duke to tentatively ask how much the country's debt was, Duke directly gave him a deficit of 0. Oh, no, it was a lot of surplus. Ryan and the Home Secretary were stunned at the result.

Ryan is mentally prepared to sell land and state-owned assets to allow the people to live a good life. Anyway, most of the nobles were exterminated, and their fiefdoms fell back into the hands of the Wrynn family. They could still make ends meet by selling their fields.

Now Duke actually told him that not only did he not lose money, he also made a huge profit.

Ryan just doesn't understand.

Home ministers don't understand either.

Duke shook his head and explained:

"I'm telling you! Bai Tiao is actually gold coins. It's just that I took advantage of everyone's gratitude and secretly lowered the wages. This created a market environment where gold coins can't buy things, but Bai Tiao can. This makes everyone in the market Unknowingly, I have done a lot more work for the kingdom.”

"Now we don't spend money to feed the people, and we don't spend money to rebuild. But we still receive gold coins from the alliance countries! That is the money to build the Watch Castle, but the very important logistics part of the early investment is to build this A railway across Elwynn Forest, which I use to invigorate the market economy of Stormwind Kingdom."

"In addition, due to smooth transportation, specialties from various parts of the Kingdom of Stormwind have also begun to be collected into the hands of the Kingdom, which are sold directly to the maritime merchants of Kul Tiras and converted into foreign exchange. Therefore, in the latest March and April, the Kingdom is selling every The monthly surplus is about 1.2 million gold coins."

After Duke settled the account, Ryan and all the interior ministers knelt. It's a pity that due to cultural differences, otherwise they would all write the word "submit" to Duke.

Duke smiled and looked to the southeast. His sight seemed to travel through space and landed on the Dark Door thousands of miles away.

"Sorry, tribe. Our alliance was revived ahead of schedule. Where is your tribe?"

The tribe opposite the Dark Portal...

very bad!

When Kilrogg's Deadeye's Bleeding Ring clan and Kargath's Bladefist's Shattered Hand clan returned to Draenor at the end of last year, they faced a world completely out of control.

The tribe lost its great chief again and returned to the chaotic state of clan separatism.

Almost throughout the winter, the major clans were fighting against each other.
