"Heart knots? ......"Roland wasn't sure if he should continue to inquire into Lyubov's privacy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's a long story, I'm waiting for you in front of the gate of Geert Palace today, just to explain her thoughts to you before you meet with Lyubov." Katya took his hand and walked into his office, looked back to the left and right, and quietly closed the door after confirming that no one was paying attention, turned back and pressed Roland on the sofa, put his hands on his shoulders, and lowered his voice face to face and said: "We sea elves have been a free and unrestrained people since ancient times, and the ugly thing to say is that they are unruly by nature, free and loose, and disgusted with authority, like a plate of loose sand. ”

Roland nodded, "The elves are probably like this, so most of them live in the form of tribes, and rarely establish a unified empire, otherwise with the longevity and talent of the elves, they should have created a more glorious era of civilization than humans." ”

Katya sighed, and then said: "Our sea elves were like this at the beginning, until they frequently intermarried with humans and absorbed the characteristics of human civilization advocating order, which created the twelve city-states of the Bend Alliance, forming a relatively complete and strict government agency, but among the sea elf nobles still retains the traditional atmosphere of advocating freedom and individuality, and Lyubov is no exception, as the manager of the city, on the one hand, she must establish and maintain order, and on the other hand, she must adhere to the belief in freedom, Over time, the whole person has become a little nervous. ”

Roland smiled dumbly, patted her hand to show relaxation: "I think Liuba has integrated the two concepts of order and freedom very well, she maintains the most basic social order with the minimum government control and legal provisions in Baiou Port, so as to provide maximum freedom for business activities, and on this premise stimulates people's entrepreneurial enthusiasm, Baiou Port's vigorous development over the years proves that her path is correct, at least in line with the positioning of this free trade port." ”

"Unfortunately, when she tried to use this concept to manage relations with the states of the Bend League, it was not so effective, and the reality forced her to be tougher against the League members, so the Gentiles secretly called her a 'female tyrant.'"

"Isn't it nice to be soft on the inside and tough on the outside?"

"However, when reality requires her to use strong measures within the city-state, she loses her usual decisiveness and becomes indecisive...... "Katya shakes her head and sighs, "Lyuba considers her theory of free competition to be an iron law that applies everywhere, and even sublimates it into a philosophy, which merges with the free nature of the sea elves and even religious worship, and evolves into a nervous belief...... I don't know how to describe her paranoia. ”

"So you and Weta both take her ......" Roland swallowed back the "schizophrenia" that came to his lips and put it in a less scathing way, "take her strange and stubborn thoughts, and expect me to convince her to be sober?" ”

"Nonsense! Who else can you count on without expecting it? Go ahead and try to pull our eldest lady out of the horns! ”

Roland shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, "I'll do my best, ugly words are ahead, if it doesn't work, I'll leave Baigull Harbor immediately, and I won't care about this mess again!" ”

Katya gritted her teeth, and suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, "If even you can't convince her, then you deserve the destruction of the Yangbo family, and I'll go with you!" ”

Roland looked up at the half-elf "Fool" in amazement: "What about Veta?" ”

"Take her with you!"

"Katya, you don't have a fever, do you?" Roland touched her forehead, "I don't think Liuba is crazy, but you are crazy first, you let me seriously convince Liuba to deliberately mess up?" ”

"Incompatible incentives" of the general standard of textbooks.

"My mind is indeed a little contradictory, but you don't understand? Go for it! Katya violently pushed him out the door.

Roland was both touched and a little amused by Katya's approach, but he also understood that Katya was really in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious.

Walking into Lyubov's room under the guidance of the secretary, Roland was slightly relieved, at least the storm lord seemed to be in good spirits.

"Liuba, I happened to meet Katya when I came over, and I talked to her for a few words, I heard that you don't plan to use strong measures to crack down on speculative grain merchants?" Roland asked straight to the point.

Lyubov sat at his desk, his chin crossed in a daze, and it took a long time for him to speak.

"It is indeed immoral for grain traders to raise prices, but this is not illegal, we should not use public power to force the other party to reduce prices, and forcibly breaking market rules will not only not solve the problem, but will cause more problems."

Roland sat down across from her and retorted calmly: "My opinion is the opposite of yours, government regulation is an indispensable part of the healthy operation of the social economy, and laissez-faire will only lead to the worsening of the crisis, and sooner or later people will starve to death, and those who are unwilling to starve to death will rise up and riot, and then even the basic order will no longer exist, and what market rules will be talked about." ”

Lyubov sighed, rubbed his temples tiredly, and whispered, "Since the situation is not bad enough to be that bad, we can try less extreme measures first." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I have arranged for the relevant municipal departments to count the materials in the public warehouse, concentrate the grain into the market, and stabilize prices; At the same time, it purchased supplies from the suburbs and rural areas in the far suburbs, expanded the scale of reserves, and persisted until the pirates were repulsed, and inflation naturally eased. ”

The more Roland listened, the more he felt that this was all a superficial article, and the specific implementation was not reliable at all.

"Liuba, have you ever considered who owns the land in the countryside around Baiou Harbor?

"Most of them were owned by the city's aristocrats, landlords and wealthy merchants, and were rented to local farmers for cultivation." Lyubov replied without thinking.

"So have you noticed the people in the carriages on the street that are hurrying out of the city?"

Lyubov looked up into his eyes, but he was speechless, and his pretty face showed a look of pain.

Roland hardened his heart and was unmoved, and said coldly: "Those guys who are full of gold and silver treasures and are eager to take refuge in the city are precisely the owners of the farmland and manors outside the city, and these people can't even stay in the city to support you against pirates, how can you expect them to share with you in the country house and sell food at a cheap price?" ”

"The pirates blockaded the shipping lanes, the agricultural products in the surrounding villages became scarce materials, and those greedy and selfish landlords must take advantage of the situation to raise prices and make a fortune in the country. How can you control when someone buys cheap food and sells it at a high price? May I ask how much gold and silver reserves the Yangbo Chamber of Commerce currently has, and can it withstand such long-term blood loss? Will it last a year or half a year? Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Yangbo family survives until the day of repelling the pirates, it will definitely hurt its vitality, and those jackals who are red at the Yangbo family's dominance in Baiou Harbor and even the Bend Alliance, will they let go of this opportunity to fall into the ground? When the time comes, what will you do with your pockets to maintain this big business? You only have two ways to borrow or auction the family property, but this is to quench your thirst, which will only expose your weakness more and more, attract more jackals to bite wildly, once the capital chain is broken, your business reputation will also collapse, who can you rely on to protect you and your family? Coast guard? Can you pay your military salary? If you go that far, why not just use violent means to remove the hidden danger now! (To be continued.) )
