"Hey! Are you okay? Looking at Bridget, who seemed to have lost her soul, Locke couldn't help asking, could it be that this hit you? You don't look like a woman like that. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bridget turned to look at Locke expressionlessly and said, "Am I like someone who has something to do?" ”

"Don't disturb me, I need to be quiet." Bridget continued to sit back in her chair by the fire, staring at the fire in a daze.

The woman seemed to have been hit.

Locke couldn't help but secretly think that a woman is a woman after all, and he said that he didn't care, but he still cared very much in his heart.

It seems that she is also a fragile inside and strong on the outside.

Locke looked at her back and didn't say anything more.

What can this be called? It's just a battle of words.

"Hello Inspector."

Outside, the guards spoke, and the approaching guards came in to inform Shiloh of his arrival.

"Inspector Shiloh, there's something you need to get done right today."

After Shiloh came in, Locke didn't wait for her to speak, and went straight to arranging the task.

Locke once again took a bag from his magic bag and handed it to her. "There are more than 500 gold coins in it, and this money will be distributed to the soldiers as military salaries, and now we will do it immediately!"

"I hope that this afternoon, the soldiers will be able to get the money." Locke couldn't wait to order, "Can the money be exchanged?" ”

The recruit's salary is 1 silver coin a month, and in the case of war, it is calculated separately, and there will be an additional 1 or 2 silver coins. Non-commissioned officers will increase the Soldier's original value by 50%, ranging from 2.5 to 4.5 credits. Senior non-commissioned officers and lieutenants are issued single-digit gold coins, which are enough to pay a month's salary.

It's not that Locke is unwilling to pay a few months' military salary, it's because the money on his body comes from the wrong way, it's not easy to explain, and it can't be explained clearly, and when he has his own territory in the future, the money can be taken out and used blatantly.

Shiloh took the heavy purse, and she didn't speak.

As the actual head of the logistics department of the Fifth Legion, Shiloh knew how much money the Fifth Legion had on its books, and all the copper and silver coins added up, which was only a dozen gold coins. The money was backed up by the Grand Prosecutor.

Most of the current soldiers of the Crusaders were paid only once every three to four months, and only for one month at a time. As the pastor of the Holy Light Church, Shiloh knows that many of the soldiers' families go to the church in the town every day to receive free food. If it weren't for the Church of Light in the Stormwind Kingdom to support the church in Lordaeron, the Crusaders might not have been able to hold out for a long time.

There is no way to do this, the Kingdom of Lordaeron is in a difficult time now, and it may be much better in the future.

In the last series of battles fought by the Crusaders, the Second Legion handed over the defense to the Fourth Legion after laying down the town of Gallon. The Second Legion then took control of Brill before the Forsaken, connecting with the town of Gallen, where the Fourth Legion was located. Based on this vertical line of defense, it reaches the Darrenl Mountains to the east. The Crusaders had effectively taken control of the large area of jungle and cultivated land in the southeastern part of the Tirisfal Glade, which somewhat relieved the pressure for survival.

In this vast jungle, there are countless forest resources, which delay the food crisis of the common people. Civilians gather mushrooms, fruits, and other edible plants in the woodlands, and some hunt ferocious beasts in the woodlands to provide meat for Gadar.

And in this area from Lilin there is also the largest freshwater lake in Lordaeron, the Cheshui Lake.

Covering an area of hundreds of kilometres, the lake is home to a large number of freshwater fish, and is now being used for fishery. Every night, fishermen from the Gadar City Hall go out to catch fish, and at dawn the fish are transported to Gadar and supplied to the citizens at very low prices. These fish have greatly alleviated food insecurity in Gadar.

However, none of this will solve the problem of money, the crusaders are short of money! Lack of currency!

If you don't have money, you can't buy things, if you can't buy things, it's hard to run a store, if you can't keep running, you'll close, you'll close your shop, you'll be depressed, and you'll be even less hungry for food, drink and other necessities of life, and you'll be in a strange circle.

Bartering is now common on the streets of Gadar town.

The Crusaders controlled a limited number of mines, and the only copper mine was barren.

Copper, silver, and gold coins were extremely scarce in the crusaders. In order to be able to trade with the outside world normally, the crusaders took out all the coins and exchanged them for urgently needed armaments and materials, and the living materials could only be ranked last.

In order to squeeze the war potential of the Lordaerons, the Crusaders had reached their limits, which was one of the reasons why the Crusaders did not pay their salaries.

The current situation is that Lordaeron has no foreign trade, and the money from outside cannot come in, only the money from this side is constantly flowing out, and this situation will not be alleviated for a while. And there is no possibility of trade internally, so this is also the reason for the scarcity of money.

In short, lack of money!

Shiloh put the bag of gold coins into her magic bag, she looked up at Locke and said, "Money can be exchanged, those shops in Gadar have channels of communication with the outside, they can exchange the silver and copper coins we need, but..."

Inspector Shiloh was a little speechless, "Legion Commander, you... This money is your family's asset, is it really good for you to use it like this? ”

"It doesn't matter, just take it as if the Fifth Legion owes me." Locke waved his hand and said, "When you have a chance in the future, you can give it back to me." ”

"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Locke urged her. "I'll arrange for the people from the Guards Company to go with you to exchange these coins. Then when they got back, they notified the heads of the various wings and asked them to lead the soldiers to collect their salaries. ”

"There won't be a deduction, right?" Locke asked suddenly.

Shiloh blushed suddenly, "Legion Commander! Don't you believe me as an inspector? Still don't believe in my faith in the Light? ”

"I don't mean to offend you, I'm just asking casually, you don't have to take it seriously." Locke hurriedly waved his hand.

"I'll leave now, go to Gadar's shop, and go door to door to exchange copper and silver coins." Shiloh bowed and said with an unhappy expression.

"Wait." Locke called her off.

"Sergeant Hubbard! Are you there? Locke shouted outside.

After a while, Sergeant Hubbard walked in against the wind and snow, and before he had time to clear the snow from his body, he saluted and reported.

"Commander, please command."

"Take your soldiers, follow Inspector Shiloh, and keep her safe until she says let you come back." Locke commanded.

"Yes! Legion Commander! ”

"Then I'm gone, Legionnaire! Thank you for your generosity! Shiloh bowed down again and left the headquarters, and the sergeant hurriedly followed.

In the commercial area of Gadar Town, Shiloh led a group of Crusader soldiers through the streets, and the snow covered the ground with a thick layer, and everyone walked with difficulty.

In the ranks, there were also soldiers pushing several carts that were used to transport the copper and silver coins they had been exchanged.

"Sergeant Hubbard, please wait for me here." Shiloh stood in front of a shop and said, "All we need here is the help of our soldiers from the logistics wing." ”

"Yes! Inspector, we'll be in charge of the security of this mission! Sergeant Hubbard nodded, and then he dispersed his men and gathered around the door of the shop.

Shiloh walked into the store where he bought and sold food with some officers and soldiers from the logistics wing, and there was a clerk in the store who was in a bored daze.

"Hi and welcome! Do you need something? When the clerk saw someone entering, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to say hello.

"Oh, the warriors of the Crusaders." The clerk said respectfully, and he saw the person clearly, "Is there anything I can help you with?" Please do not hesitate to ask. ”

Shiloh walked over to the counter, "I hope to get some change, copper and silver coins, in larger quantities." ”

"I'm sorry, this priest." The clerk shook his head and said, "All the change in our store has been exchanged for gold coins." ”

"Oh, that's right." Shiloh said with some disappointment.

"However, if you really need money, I suggest you go to the goblin bank at the south end of town. They accept access services and are able to exchange large amounts of change. Our change was all exchanged there. The clerk suggested.

"Oh? How did I not know? Shiloh asked in surprise.

"Just the day before yesterday, right? It seems that a team of goblins has crossed through the outskirts of Andorhal. They bought the old Des house at the south end of the town and opened a bank there. You can store anything you think is worth saving, but if you want to exchange it for change, you will be charged a fee, which is about 10 copper coins per gold coin, right? It seems to be. ”

The clerk said as he thought.

Shiloh nodded and thanked the clerk and walked out of the place.

Shiloh took the team directly to the bank opened by the goblins.

The building could be seen from afar, and some little green thing was adding this thing on top of the original house, which was now full of scaffolding.

Goblins are not a rare race in Azeroth, and they can be seen busy in places where commerce is developed.

"A little to the left, to the left! Okay, a little bit above, right! That's it. "A goblin who looked like a steward was noisily directing the goblins above in the doorway.

"Hi, hello." Shilor pulled one of the goblins at the door and asked, "Excuse me, can you exchange them for silver and copper coins here?" ”

The goblin who was directing the work above turned his head.

"Oh! The goblin took off a small round hat on his head, he snorted a few times, and then bowed to Shiloh, who then saw Shiloh's dress and the Crusader soldiers behind him and asked, "No, it's the beautiful Miss Priest." How can I help you? ”
