Chapter 226: A Secret Visit to Demacia
"Come on, the freshly baked roasted bread, loose and soft, two pieces only need one Cui Fali silver coin."
"The vegetables specially contained in the farm outside the city are still dew, cheap and fresh."
"Green tooth peak mutton, dragon poultry special for sheep, delicious is not expensive!"
"The exquisite crafts from Noxus have a variety of types, and they are beautiful and cheap!"
"."
In the early morning, vendors selling vegetables, raw meat, and cooked foods shouted loudly in specific areas, greeted the passers -by in a hurry.
It is located at No. 3, Xiongdu Jinsui Street. A open space has been divided into it, exercising daily trading, transactions and other purposes.
Because of its location and services, locals are called "Jin Sui Market". Whether for buyers or sellers, they are a good name for a bumper harvest.
At this time, in the morning sun, Ryan was walking slowly in the shops in the market.
He changed his past dress, and today he changed into a white robe provided by the Onets family, with his eyes always looking around with inquiry and acceptance.
A pattern is embroidered on the left shoulder of his white robe. It is a ravioli with three silver patterns on the forehead, which is standing with a standing gesture, and the golden wheat ears are surrounded by the sides.
Among the people passing by, all those who are a bit visible can be recognized, this is the emblem of the Onets family.
Ryan is not disgusted with the frequent gaze they voted to themselves, with a lot of respect and enthusiasm.
Gilbert Onets, the eight officials in charge of people's livelihood.
It is undeniable that under a series of means, the life of the Demasian people has remained at a very high level.
There is almost no abdomen, as long as it is a Demasian citizen, even those who do not work, they will receive a subsidy from the people's livelihood department.
The hard -working Demasians disdain to obtain it. Although there are difficulties, they will go to the Ministry of Life and ask for funding, but when they are rich one day, they will be repaid.
In the folk, because of the Marquis of Gilbert, the O'Nenens family has a high reputation.
The Onets family is prosperous, but each has been secretly cultivated and informing the mission since childhood. Therefore, it is humble and fair. It is an individual nobleman.
"You, this is one of the large markets in Demasia. The locals call the‘ Jinsui Market ’. The tax is under the jurisdiction of the financial department. Grandpa is responsible for governance.”
Beying by Ryan, a young man dressed by a Demasian aristocracy left half a step, whispered and explained respectfully.
The young man named Gralston Onets is the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Onets family. In the future, it is expected to follow the position of Marquis in Gilbert and join the eight officials.
"It can be seen that the management specifications are also very lively." Ryan nodded slightly and looked at the vendors and goods along the street with interest.
After a while, he asked.
Cui Ferley's currency is divided into two types, gold coins and silver coins, and silver coins are a supplement to gold coins. The exchange relationship between the two is 1: 100.
These coins use magic anti -counterfeiting methods. The production lines designed by Oliana and Victor use Hyx Gem as energy sources, and it continuously provides a mark of magic stability.
Since the implementation of the Nortosas endorsement coins, except for Ionia, the rest has almost did not take much time to become popular.
Trade with Noxus can only use Cui Ferley gold coins and silver coins.
In the absence of questioning, naturally, in less than a year, everyone agreed with the use of new coins to buy and sell.
Gryston nodded: "There are two trading models now, and the original silver coins and Cui Fali silver coins can be used."
"But because there are some vendors here, they themselves have business exchanges with Noxus, either with their homes, so they will be more inclined to settle with Cui Fali coins."
After pause, Gryston added another sentence:
"If you use Demasia silver coins, it will be more expensive than Cui Fali coins. Here are the‘ bank ’set up established by Noxus, which can be exchanged for Cui Fali coins with gold and silver or local currency."
Ryan nodded, his eyes stayed on a meat -selling stall, and the price was clearly marked.
"Green tooth peak mutton, 10 Cui Fuli silver coins/kg, 100 Demasian silver coins/kg."
In the exchange price given by the bank, 10 Cui Fali silver coins are roughly equal to 50 Demasian silver coins. Although the price will fluctuate by various factors, it is roughly maintained in this area.
"For vendors, if a large exchange is exchanged, 80 Demasian silver coins can be exchanged for 10 Cui Fuli silver coins. Although it can be exchanged for a handling fee through families such as Onetis, it is not cost -effective to collect Demasian silver coins." Leiston stepped forward slightly and whispered.
The subtext in his words exposed very clearly. The O'Neinee family has always respected the imperial will and uses various methods to promote Cui Fali coins.
"The Empire will remember your dedication."
Ryan said with a gentle manner. He didn't care about Gryston, who was overjoyed, but retracted his eyes and continued to watch the meat shop just in a slightly farther place.
10 The price of Cui Fuli silver coins/kg is the most expensive in Demasia's livestock.
However, compared with the wild sheep from Noxus, the price is much lower.
The board used for quotation reads:
"Wild sheep, delicious mutton from Noxus, 5 Trifarion gold coins/kg."
This price is not expensive
Even though Victor's desert transformation project has begun, the desertification around the Immortal Fortress is too serious, and there are traces of magic experiments hidden underground, so it will be difficult to improve in a short time.
It is more difficult for cattle and sheep to grow in this desert than to raise them in the desert areas of Shurima. At least, there are oases to find in Shurima.
Even in the Immortal Fortress, this kind of livestock meat is rare and precious, and the price has reached 1 Trifarion gold coin/kg.
But since the trade with Demacia was opened, wild sheep are mostly exported to Demacia at double the price.
When the O'Neill family invited Ryan to dinner yesterday, the prepared steaks and meat soups were from wild sheep and wild cattle.
In fact, the meat of these livestock does not taste good. The low fat content makes the meat taste dry and astringent, far less plump than the Greentooth Peak mutton.
But strangely, the wasteland cattle and sheep are deeply loved by the Demacia nobles.
According to them, the dry and solid meat is the most authentic taste of cattle and sheep.
During the short time that Ryan stopped to observe, he saw many housekeepers of noble families handing many golden coins to the stall owner and purchasing a large number of cattle and sheep from Noxus.
Ryan smiled and retracted his gaze, and suddenly asked behind him: "Which kind of mutton do you like to eat?"
Seeing Ryan asking him a question, Gladstone immediately tensed up, but when he noticed Ryan's casual attitude, he hesitated for a moment and answered cleverly:
"The two kinds of mutton are similar. Compared with chicken, I prefer to eat chicken. I like the honey roast chicken made by the chef Gale at home. You also tasted it at the table last night."
Ryan tapped his chin lightly: "Good answer."
After he finished speaking, he continued to lift his feet forward.
Gladstone followed behind, frowning slightly, and was even more uneasy, thinking whether his answer was really appropriate.
Perhaps he should say that the desert sheep is better. But. The meat is really too unpalatable.
The colors immediately became richer as he walked forward, with all kinds of bright colors, so rich that they almost overflowed from the display board, and the sweet and fragrant smell kept pouring into the nose, making people think of the heat of summer.
The area selling vegetables and fruits has arrived.
The land of Demacia is fertile and the sunshine is sufficient, which is very suitable for the growth of various fruits and vegetables.
Every year, Demacia undertakes 70% of the fruit and vegetable trade in Runeland, starting from the western seaport, north to Freljord, and south to Shurima.
The vegetables transported there are still extremely expensive, and the same is true in Noxus. It is normal for vegetables to be more expensive than meat.
However
"It turns out that this place is not so depressed, but after trading with Noxus for more than half a year, ordinary people in Xiongdu can no longer afford vegetables." Gladstone introduced at the right time.
"The land for planting in Demacia is in the hands of the nobles. When they found that vegetables were the most cost-effective trade commodity, they began to ship all the inventory and freshly picked fruits and vegetables to Noxus."
For this reason, the local vegetable prices in Demacia soared rapidly, while the vegetable prices in Noxus continued to fall because of the import source.
In less than half a year, the prices of fruits and vegetables in the two countries are almost at the same level.
The average price of fruits and vegetables is 30 Trifarix silver coins per kilogram.
Amid complaints and curses, the people of Demacia had to reluctantly give up those pleasing green vegetables. With this spare money, they might as well go to the tavern for a glass of mellow malt liquor.
But for the Noxians, this price is still fair.
Due to the continuous trade, the treasury of Noxus is extremely full. Driven by Swain, the salaries of those who serve the country have continued to rise.
This phenomenon is naturally a good thing for the people.
But from the perspective of businessmen, it is very unfriendly.
Faced with the high-tech offered by the country, they must pay a higher price to recruit the previous labor, which also makes many free traders miserable.
Such disadvantages are also obvious. In the long run, this model is not suitable for industrial development, but in the future plans made by Ryan and Swain, Noxian people occupy more strength and technology ecological niches, and do not do ordinary time-consuming and inefficient jobs.
No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
What's more, Noxus is fundamentally different from other countries. This is an empire that advocates strength. The strength is a symbol of a person's ability.
Therefore, in this land, no matter how many gold coins you have, it will be useless. Gold coins can only improve your quality of life a little bit, and the most important strength has not changed fundamentally.
After all, there is no such thing as "exchange" between merit points and gold coins.
Merit points can only be obtained by serving the country or making contributions to the country, and there are many benefits that can be exchanged for merit points, such as a sword skill instruction weapon enhancement and upgrade or even a rare entry opportunity.
It can be said that compared with gold coins, merit points are very helpful in improving personal strength.
Therefore, merit points are more critical in Noxus and are more sought after by Noxians.
Having said that, it is better to make money than to live tightly. While pursuing strength, you must also ensure the matching of material life.
At that time, it is not just fruits and vegetables.
Looking at the rushing color, the Demasian people who had endlessly asked, Ryan suddenly asked:
"How do you guarantee the life of the Demasian life?"
In the planning of the empire, it is necessary to be a vibrant and positive Demasia.
"Demasian." Gryston had a headache. "We have always persuaded the nobles not to use the means of exploitation of regardless of the consequences, but the benefits of the empire are too high, and there are too many new things to buy."
In short, in the face of the temptation from Noxus, the nobles only care about the interests in front of their eyes, instead of making long -term plans.
"I don't want to hear these." Ryan shook his head lightly.
If O'Nanes has only such a level, he doesn't mind changing to a group of people.
"We need time. Wait until Ms. Laksuna goes up, everything can be resolved." Gryst was instantly cramped.
Onets is not a big family. It is difficult to have better means in facing those bigger nobles.
Ryan looked back at his eyes without seeing his expression, and didn't say much. Instead, he walked forward with Gryston and entered the bank that belonged to the official of the Noxus.
This is a tall black stone building. In addition to the use of the room for exchange currency, the upstairs is the place where the stay is.
Those who can live here will only be the ambassador of Noxus to Demasia.
Walking on the upward spiral staircase, from time to time, they can see several small mages. They are wearing a small mage robe, and they work hard to make the solemnity and maturity that is not in line with the age.
Their steps were eager to move, and they tried to suppress the thoughts that wanted to run, and their body exuded intolerable vitality.
Knowledge is more important than magic. This is something that Ryan taught himself to his apprentices, and it is also the point of view of the future mage of Noxus.
"Squeak--"
With Ryan pushing away a door, the sound of discussion ended abruptly, and dozens of eyes looked out of the door.
"Teacher!? Are you here!"
With surprise on Salinni's face, the control stage was stunned before Ryan, and he gave him a warm hug that was more enthusiastic than the thorns of Ruima. Girl.
This image is rare. Now Salinni is no longer at the beginning of the castle in the dawn castle. In front of the teacher, she will always be the bright and most loyal little fan girl.
"The matter of Shrima is over, just come to check your homework." Ryan smiled slightly.
His eyes swept across the rest of the room.
From the expressionless Raier, his eyes changed from confusion to ecstatic Zen, and. Well, Annie, full of little bears.
"Hu Xiaosha, calm, calm" Salinni patted her chest lightly, so that she was calm as soon as she was so excited. She quickly turned back and raised a arm.
"This is my teacher. As you think in your heart, the empire's most noble person."
Rier nodded seriously, with war and pursuit in his eyes. Obviously, in her eyes, Ryan is the goal she wants to chase and surpass.
Annie was a bit different. She tightened the bear in her arms and buried her chin in its dark brown soft hair, revealing a pair of big eyes to Ryan, and she was so weak: "Oh, sister Salinni Hello, "Hello,"
She had heard the prestige of Teacher Salinni, but she didn't care, but because of Salinni respect, she felt that she would respect.
Ryan nodded at the little girl with a friendly place, and this time it was Tenben.
He had already stood up, as if installing a spring, Chong Ryan respected a military ceremony, with a longing look:
"I have seen the crowns! My father Bo Xue has accepted your instructions. He often hangs this matter. He thinks this is the luckiest thing in his life."
"You are as good as your father." Ryan nodded slightly.
When the Meredis Chamber of Commerce was established, Bo Xue helped him a little bit, and they sat together and talked about the business.
For the cause of the empire, Zim Ben's father is the most apparent one of the businessmen.
After the Cui Feli Parliament came to power, Bo Xue gave 30 % of the Chamber of Commerce to Cui Fali Parliament, which was also this move that allowed the Bo Xue's Chamber of Commerce to occupy the leading advantage in the immortal fortress.
"Crown, what are you behind?"
Seeing a young man standing behind him, he saw that Salinni obviously wanted to say a lot, and simply asked his doubts.
"The next heir of the Onets family, you can talk to him. Salinni told me some of your thoughts, which is very helpful to the empire. Onets can give you a stage."
After Ryan finished speaking lightly, he saw his face eagerly sticking up, holding Graston's shoulder, and pulled him out of the door with a kind of friendly friend, and the parents talked shortly.
Annie saw the eyes of Salinni, and the corner of her lips was a little reluctant, but she still did not refuse. She turned her eyes and turned to the Rier Road next to it:
"Magic test, come!"
"good!"
Ryer responded concisely and followed Annie.
When everyone leaves this house, Salinni's expression becomes serious:
“Teacher, is that the Soul-Snatching Scroll?”
There may be another chapter that comes out later, but it will definitely come out before tomorrow morning!
