Anyone who has ever taken a political class knows that the currency used for circulation is valuable not because it is valuable, but because it is valuable because of "circulation." The transfer of wealth and the sale of commodities are a kind of circulation. Obtaining the corresponding means of subsistence by labor is also a kind of circulation. If one day, money loses its ability to circulate, then it has no value at all. The fastest update┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛
This law of capital is also universal on the plane of Phelan. Although the characteristic of "a very large amount of gold can be refined into a very small amount of fine gold" gives gold coins a high ability to maintain their value, but some special economies are on the verge of collapse. At any moment, these shiny little guys will lose their status as sought after by people.
And now, the Scott Empire is right at this "economic crash" that is most difficult for the poor.
Of course, Scott’s economic crisis will certainly not be as complicated as punk’s hometown. The business environment and professionals in the Middle Ages can still maintain the turnover of large sums of gold coins. Now, the disaster in this country comes entirely from pure food. Famine-that terrible famine for three consecutive years!
On the plane of Faerun, due to the existence of a large number of uninhabited wasteland and the semi-magical crop "Ququmai", dense populations completely incompatible with the production conditions in the Middle Ages are very common, but it is precisely because of the huge gap between the rich and the poor. In dense conditions, once a famine occurs, a country’s food crisis will explode exponentially.
If one year’s reduction in grain production can barely be supported by inventories, then a two-year reduction in grain production is enough to trigger a small-scale disaster, but if this situation evolves to three consecutive years of barren fields and almost no harvest, A large-scale famine will immediately break out across the country!
At this time, there is no difference between a famine in an imperial country and a famine in a kingdom. Nobles will try their best to drive up food prices. Powerful "big men" and big-bellied "big merchants" will hoard food and be ready at any time. Run away, and the poor will face a miserable state of "you can't buy food if you have money, and you can't see a grain of wheat if you don't have money."
Under such circumstances, only a year has passed, and the Scottish Empire has been starving everywhere, with dead bodies on the streets, except that the nobles can sit back and relax by relying on the food "buy" from the farmers at nearly obvious prices. In many remote areas, there was even a situation of changing children and eating. In less than a year, the population of the entire Scottish kingdom dropped by a quarter!
This is a great famine that has spread to the entire Scottish kingdom at lightning speed. Except for a few great aristocrats who seem to have prepared for a long time, they can't understand this. The reason for the sudden famine!
Obviously, the environment in the Scottish hills is still comfortable, the soil in the fields is still fertile, and there is no problem with the seeds of "ququmai", but...why is the production of good grain suddenly reduced?
This is destined to be a problem that many people are puzzled by, but as the famine intensifies, few people are going to find the real reason for the reduction of food production. The nobles and spellcasters all pretended to be deaf and dumb, and the poor people. I can only pray in despair. Theoretically, I would never look at the gods here to give a little blessing to the Scottish kingdom.
Of course, there are still many kind-hearted people who have not let countless lives pass away. They are still using their own methods to find the reasons for the reduction in food production... and they have exhausted any means to rescue innocent people.
And the "mutual aid association" led by Ganatika is obviously the representative team of this kind of "people with lofty ideals", at least Ganatika himself believes that his mission to save countless poor people is incumbent! The indomitable "brave" has always felt that there is a certain mission voice inspiring himself to save the innocent, and at the same time, there is another burning fire of revenge that makes him transfer his anger to the selfish nobles who hoard food.
"My instinct has already told me the right way. As long as I keep working hard, everyone will be saved"!
Almost without hesitation, he believed the voice in his heart, Ganatika became more determined to his actions.
For saving the innocent, our "brave" has always been vigorous and resolute, without delay, especially in such an emergency, Ganatika, who usually adheres to the bottom line, has to choose to use a little shameless means to "rob the rich and help the poor." .
But... in Ganatika’s view, those nobles who drive up food prices and hoard food are tantamount to murderers who have killed countless innocent people. If the "murderer" can be allowed to return the food that should have belonged to good people. , The brave who voluntarily bears blood does not mind violating the principle of "kindness and lawfulness".
So, after the last batch of food on the market was announced to be sold out, Ganatika directly led a team of "mutual aid associations" that had been ready to go out quietly. Under the cover of night, this mutual aid association owned, The most elite team rushed to the outside of a large private estate in "Red Valley City" almost non-stop.
From a certain point of view, when deciding to play a "Rogue", Ganatika, the "righteous brave", also had the temperament of a bandit leader. Faced with the expectations of a group of "men", Ganati was full of courage. The card directly said-make a big one if you do it!
Ganatika, who decided to "make a big handful", rejected the proposal to sneak into the warehouse of the little nobleman to "steal" the food. The brave brave directly decided to find a manor of the big noble, and then used the storage ring to store the manor. All the food is "moved" out.
A large amount of food stored by a large nobleman...even if the amount is small, it is enough to save tens of thousands of lives.
I don't know why recently ~EbookFREE.me~ Those professionals who belong to the aristocratic camp began to stay behind closed doors, and the communication was silent. Although Ganatika instinctively felt that many aristocratic professionals and even the entire Scottish kingdom began to look more and more weird, but the thought of those poor poor people who were still hungry...Forcibly suppressed the restless heart " "The Brave" still decided to raid the manor.
The current Ganatica has a warrior level at the peak of the official level, and his excellent talents have given him a natural instinct to fight. Generally speaking, Ganatica still has the capital to raid a noble manor, anyway, his purpose Just take the food away, as long as you don’t encounter a master-level strong, the fearless "brave" will have the confidence to make the plan successful!
"No problem! Just rush in suddenly, no matter how powerful aristocrats are, it is impossible to send a master-class powerhouse to guard a granary. We will leave immediately after taking the food. There will be no surprises, no surprises. "............
Suppressing the inexplicable tension and comforting herself, Ganatika once again looked back and silently glanced at the companion behind him.
The brave this time can be said to bring all the capable professionals of the entire mutual aid association. With such a "strong" lineup, with the concerted efforts of partners, the determined young man believes that he will succeed!
