Chapter 288: "·Overcrowded"

After many years, the fire of passion has been extinguished, and the flame that was regarded by people as the light of truth has also extinguished. Who among us can make it clear who is Hector and Achilles, Agamemnon and Priamus fighting for a beautiful woman who has been burnt to the ground, who is Correct?
Umberto Eco (the world's most well-known authority on symbolic linguistics)
A fleet of food-carrying teams arrived in Rome, one team after another; from the second night of the enactment of the decree, the busyness of the warehouse district of Rome never ceased, and the day-and-night food-transporting people forced Bai Feng to have to All his own guard camps were sent to the warehouse area.
Of course, Bai Feng’s guard camp soldiers did not go to the warehouse area to maintain order. That was the responsibility of the patrol guards in the city; it was just a large number of crowded food sellers that kept the warehouse area management staff busy. The soldiers in the camp are here to help.
Even with the assistance of the guard camp, the busyness of the warehouse area has not been effectively relieved, because there are more and more people who sell food; even some people who do not have surplus food at home, even take their own home Food to sell.
For the psychology of these people, how could Bai Feng, who was also an ordinary people, not understand? It is nothing more than wanting to take advantage of the high price of the Government House to buy and sell grain, and wait for the price to drop, then spend a third of the grain selling price to buy grain.
The one-to-one in the middle can make a profit difference, and if there is more food, you can also earn one or two gold coins; fortunately, such people are only a small part, and not much food is sold, so Bai Feng Did not say much about this matter.
Without this high-priced grain purchase, Bai Feng, who was the governor of the city of Rome, had never thought that the five towns under his control would have so much stored grain; looking at the four new granaries piled up before him, Bai Feng had to admit I underestimated these people.
In just ten days, the residents of the five small towns contributed enough food for one million people to eat three months for the city of Rome. This is an astronomical figure; Bai Feng paid only 20 for this. Less than ten thousand gold coins.
Think about the price that Bai Feng used to spend the precious treasury funds of the city of Rome to buy food, and then look at the cost of buying so much food at three times the market price. Anyone can understand the impact of the Tuntian harvest on the price of food in the city of Rome.
Anyway, what Bai Feng wants is to feed the army and people in the city of Rome; as for the specifics such as the impact of food price changes, Bai Feng, who is not a professor of economics, is too lazy to manage it!
At the end of five or six days before this January, almost no food sellers came to the city of Rome; in the five small towns directly under the city of Rome, all the food that could be sold had been sold to the city of Rome, leaving The next is waiting for the people-loving activity.
In fact, after more than ten days of New Year's activities and more than ten days of large-scale food purchases, Bai Feng felt that the Roman city's trade income this month must have explosive growth; even if there is no final love activity, it may not be achieved The target of 30,000 income.
Those who sell food to the town of Rome will buy some special goods or daily necessities in Rome before returning home; low-cost and large purchases will stimulate the economic development of Rome more than the previous New Year's activities .
The profitable Roman city businessmen who once again made money have changed their attitude towards barbarians from welcome to respect; in fact, this is the nature of businessmen, and customers with money in their pockets will always be the ones they deliberately welcome. VIP.
After the trend caused by the sale of food has completely passed, the long-awaited people-loving event has finally arrived; the city of Rome, with a total population of less than 50,000, lived in thousands of solid towns the day before the people-loving event people.
Overnight, all hotels in the city of Rome were overcrowded, and even many residents of the city of Rome, in order to make money, temporarily changed their houses into small family hotels to welcome the people who came to Rome to play in the town.
Although there are price-limiting laws promulgated by Bai Feng to strictly limit the prices of hotels, countless temporary hotels have sprung up like mushrooms. For the profit-making behavior of the citizens of Rome, Bai Feng just smiled and acquiesced in their actions.
Soon there will be a small number of people in towns who are more than a multiple of the total population of Rome. The number of hotels in Rome is simply not enough to accommodate so many people; moreover, the price charged for regular hotels is indeed Many people in small towns cannot accept high prices.
At this time, there are a large number of private temporary hotels with lower prices, which may not be an effective solution to the problem; even Bai Feng himself strongly encourages the opening of private temporary hotels, and has invested some financial support for this.
The so-called financial support means that those newly opened private temporary hotels must maintain the price of accommodation below one-third of the regular hotels; as compensation, the Government House will issue three more private hotels after the end of the people-loving operation. One part of the accommodation fee.
Bai Feng, who originally planned to use 500,000 gold coins to do these two things, now spends less than 400,000 gold coins; of which, 170,000 gold coins were used to buy food, 200,000 gold coins were used to prepare red envelopes, and the remaining 10 30,000 gold coins can be used to reduce accommodation costs.
Bai Feng, who put all his attention on the trade revenue of Rome City, did not care about the gold and silver coins he spent; who made the gold and silver coins produced by Rome City every month so considerable that Bai Feng no longer needed gold. Worry about silver currency.
Before the city of Rome entered the urban stage, the natural output per month was 10,000 gold coins and 100,000 silver coins. These were only insignificant small amounts of money; what really made Bai Feng worry about the gold and silver coins was the mining in the deep cave mine. A gold mine and a silver mine.
The output of 150,000 gold coins and 800,000 silver coins per month brings the monthly currency of Rome City to an astonishing 250,000 gold coins; the army of Rome City needs gold and silver coins to pay the military rates, but compared to the output The payroll for this expenditure is just the tip of the iceberg.
On the first day of the people-loving activity, the town people who came to Rome reached an unprecedented population of more than 230,000; countless residents of the town came to Rome with their mouths, and the red envelope of the Doge’s Palace It is the hair of men and women.
The city of Rome, where less than 50,000 people lived, suddenly welcomed a population of 230,000, and the overcrowded city of Rome that night was almost squeezed; even if all citizens of the city of Rome used their home as a hotel, It is impossible to accommodate so many people.
Bai Feng, who had no way to do so, had no choice but to let the soldiers of the various legions of the Roman city take out all their military accounts for the rest of the people who had no place to sleep at night; looking at the Roman city like a refugee camp, Bai Feng's heart is happy.
With such a large foreign population, the city’s trade income this month is absolutely shocking; after all, this is the result of nearly half a million gold coins in exchange, how can the total income of the city of Rome be pushed to three More than ten thousand!
