Chapter 679: Licking Their Wounds (4/146)

3 years of the Dark Gate, which was a relatively peaceful year for the Alliance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Duke continued his wicked femdom of Gianna, oh no, careful teaching.

He took a very different approach to his teachings, and in terms of personality building, Duke would take Gianna to the Tirisfaring glades to clean up the orcs, or take Gianna to the Swamp of Sorrow to clean up the orcs and various swamp creatures there.

Her Royal Highness, who was once as beautiful as a flower, often went out in the morning and turned into a mud girl when she came back at night.

At first, the letters of complaint from the chief lady-in-chief and the female officers of Kurtilas flew to their own country like snowflakes, but later they found that many times, even after they had been confirmed to be presented to King Dalin, they were still in vain, and they realized that their Majesty had acquiesced in all this.

In the field of magic, Duke's approach to education is more like free-range.

After the system scanned it, Duke directly told Gianna which area of the book here, you can learn any genre you want, and if you can't find a book, ask the ghost, oh, ask Khadgar.

The bored Khadgar reads magic books every day because he has nothing to do, so he is more proficient than Duke.

Of course, Duke always has a way of asserting his existence and worth.

Every time Gianna cultivated a new magic, Duke could always see Gianna's problem at a 'glance' under the scanning of the system elves, and how to cultivate the super-magical expertise of the magic.

After coming and going, even if Gianna is not convinced in her heart, she must admit that this mentor, who is only four years old than herself, is indeed qualified to teach her.

In May of the 3rd year of the Dark Gate, stepping into the late spring and early summer, the cement road that runs through the entire Elwyn Forest from east to west was basically paved. The railway project, which was financed and produced by Duke and operated by the dwarves, and hired a large number of workers in the Stormwind Kingdom, was officially launched.

At the same time, there is the equally ambitious reconstruction of Stormwind.

Ryan had wondered if it was reliable to carry out two projects at the same time with such a weak national strength as the Stormwind Kingdom, which cost a lot of money and a huge amount of manpower and material resources?

Because purely from the monetary point of view, the cost is more than 10 million gold coins, and no one can calculate the funds required for various small projects.

Duke replied, "If someone else were to do it, it would be death, but I'm a once-in-a-millennial genius in Azeroth, so leave it to me." ”

Duke spoke very stinky, and the Home Secretaries were not convinced at first.

I have to say that it is not too easy for a university animal who knows a little bit about the market economy to travel into such a medieval-level world.

Blindly giving alms, distributing relief food, relief clothing, and so on, did prevent the worst situation of people starving to death and freezing to death at the beginning.

But if you send too much hair and it lasts for a long time, it will produce another result - it is easy to raise lazy people.

It is not that there are no people without holiness in the world, and it is precisely because there are many mediocre people that they yearn for saints. In exchange, if all the people of the world want to live that ascetic life, 99% of them will quit.

Duke's approach is cash-for-work.

The first step is to issue an announcement to directly tell the people that the country has just been destroyed once, and the country has no money, so in order to let everyone tide over the difficulties and not starve to death and die of cold, the country has handed over all the old bottoms, and a lot of money and materials are borrowed. It is not simply to issue an announcement, but to let the town and village heads, and civil affairs officials in various places almost every day anxious for the people to publicize.

The second step is to implement the system of playing white slips.

The kingdom doesn't have that many gold coins in circulation, okay!

Duke spent three days setting up a complete system of white stripes.

In winter, those who have received grain from the state for disaster relief should write IOUs according to their quantity and quality.

Those who took the cotton clothes also owe.

Those who get a new house, owe more.

All this is owed to the kingdom.

Then spring came, and it was time to start paying off the debt. When the farming is done, you have to work for the country according to your ability.

How much is a day to build a railway.

And how much is it to join a patrol.

After working hard for a while, the people found that they would help the country work to pay off their debts, and in the end, they would be able to get some more white slips every day, and they could also exchange them for necessary food and daily necessities.

The white strip that Duke had made couldn't be counterfeited, because it was a magical item made by the magic apprentice he had received. The cost of making white strips far exceeds the value of white strips themselves.

The result is a complete internal circular economy system controlled by the planned economy. It had been running for two months since March, and when Ryan cautiously came to Duke to ask how much the country owed, Duke directly gave him a deficit of 0, oh no, the result of a lot of surplus, Ryan and the Home Secretaries were dumbfounded.

Ryan is ready to sell his land and sell state-owned assets so that the people can live a good life. Anyway, most of the nobles were wiped out before, and their fiefs fell back into the hands of the Urion family, and they could still survive by selling their fields.

Now Duke actually told him that not only did he not lose money, but he also made a lot of money.

Ryan didn't understand anything.

The Home Secretaries don't understand either.

Duke shook his head and explained:

"I'm telling you! It's just that I took advantage of everyone's gratitude and secretly lowered my salary. Then it creates a market environment where gold coins can't buy things, but white bars can. So that everyone unknowingly did a lot of more work for the kingdom. ”

"Now it costs nothing to feed the people, and it doesn't cost anything to rebuild. But we still collect the gold coins remitted by the countries of the Alliance! That's the money to build the Watchtower, but a very important part of the initial investment is to build this railroad through the Elwin Forest, which I used to invigorate the market economy of the Stormwind Kingdom by the way. ”

"In addition, because of the smooth transportation, the specialties of the Stormwind Kingdom have also begun to be collected into the hands of the Kingdom, which are directly sold by the Kingdom to the sea merchants of Kurtiras, and turned into foreign exchange. So in the latest March and April, the kingdom has a monthly surplus of about 1.2 million gold coins. ”

After Duke had finished settling the score, Ryan and the House Secretaries knelt down. It's a pity that due to cultural differences, otherwise they would all write a 'suit' to Duke.

Duke smiled and looked to the southeast. His gaze seemed to travel through space, landing on the dark portal thousands of miles away.

"I'm sorry, Horde. Our alliance is revived ahead of schedule. What about your tribe?"

The tribe on the other side of the Dark Gate......

Oops!

When Kilrog*'s Deadeye's Bloodring Clan and Kargas*'s Shattered Hand Clan returned to Draenor late last year, they were faced with a world that was completely out of control.

Once again, the tribe that lost its Great Chief returned to the chaotic state of that clan division.

For almost the entire winter, the major clans were fighting each other. (To be continued.) )
