Chapter 341：

If it's a fight or a grab, that's not good.

Because Votigeng's monsters are often disturbing, everyone can fight back with concerted efforts. If this happens, everyone will be finished.

Even if you want to make trouble, you have to remove the threat of Vortigung first.

Shi Lang learned of their movements through Merlin, and asked Gao Wen to transfer the elite soldiers away, leaving only five hundred recruits, and he was dressed very shabby.

These kings came to Camelot aggressively and looked for the sergeant Shirou. They thought that Shirou had brought them to the lion to open their mouths, but the facts were beyond their expectations.

Shi Lang said sincerely, "You kings, you are all my predecessors. The Votigung attack is a common hazard for all of us. The younger brother has nothing, but the last two years have had better luck, and there is still some food in his hand. The younger brother is willing to give it to you, but the younger brother is too poor, so I want to borrow money to exchange some useful things for you seniors."

Shi Lang exchanged food with them for animal skins and weapons, the price was very fair, even a high proportion, and his expression was sincere, as if he was all for the sake of everyone.

Shi Lang was sincere and said with a smile: "We are our own people, and no one can cheat our own people?"

The kings were surprised. They thought they were going to be slaughtered, but they didn't. They couldn't help but have some good feelings for Shilang.

After that, Shi Lang took them to take a look at the military camp and the old town built by the Karenli two years ago, a scene of dilapidation.

When the kings saw Shi Lang's soldiers unclothed, they were still using very worn-out weapons, and they understood Shi Lang's situation in their hearts.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as those sung by the bards.

The desperate thing is that there is more food.

While expressing sympathy on the surface, the kings looked down on Shirou in their hearts.

Finally, they agreed to Shiro's proposal.

They thought Shirou was stupid, and at this time, they didn't even open their mouths.

In such a lack of food, even if the lions open their mouths, as long as they don't touch the bottom line, they can still endure gritted teeth.

As a result, it was really foolish for King Arthur to trade fairly with them.

Seeing that they agreed, Shi Lang invited them to the palace for dinner.

The crowds are staggered, and the guests enjoy themselves.

No one mentions that two years ago, the kings ridiculed Shi Lang as the "debt king". Because this is really horrible, and these kings are all here for food, how could they mention this?

Shi Lang smiled and toasted with them, coaxing them happily, and then proposed to them the details of trade and tariff exemption. Camelot will have a large amount of food shipped to various countries to sell. In this way, it will not only promote people's livelihood and cultural exchanges, but also support food in all aspects.

All the kings did not feel that there was anything wrong, but felt that they were making a lot of money, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, they went back one after another.

Shi Lang sent them away with a smile on his face.

"My king, I still don't understand. Why do you want to do this? We don't need to do this. If you want their kingdom, we could ambush the swordsmen at the banquet yesterday and kill them directly!" Guiwen's eyes were fierce, and his face exuded murderous intent.

Shi Lang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Boiling water can't cook frogs. Only warm water can cook frogs slowly."

After clapping his palms, Shi Lang asked, "By the way, how about the banknotes I arranged for you to print?"

"A warehouse has already been printed...Wang, do you really plan to use those waste papers instead of money?" Age Zhiwen asked inexplicably.

"What is waste paper? That's paper money!" Shi Lang said with a displeased face.

"Don't say anything, I have to go to Benwick. Two old friends, King Ban and King Bowes, have also asked me for food. Oh, yes. The leather they produce is pretty good. , I like it a lot...Age Guiwen, tell Lucan to expand the area of ​​arable land this year."

"Yes--!" Age Guiwen answered.

Wang left with a smile, but so far, Age Zhiwen has not understood the meaning of Wang's actions.

Neither the lion speaks loudly, nor does it assassinate.

He just used food in exchange for various resources and asked him to print waste paper.

"Wang--, what do you want to do?"

Age Guiwen muttered to himself, his face full of confusion.

...

...

ps: There are some unimportant plots, I just used the spring and autumn brushstrokes to bring them over. After all, normal farming needs to be comprehensive, but it takes a lot of chapters. For the same people, it is too superb, and everyone does not like to watch it.

Chapter 100 Carrying the Destiny of a Race [Third More]

In the ancient Western world, there were two types of paper.

One is parchment and the other is papyrus.

The former uses sheepskin as raw material. In this era, the cost is relatively high, and it is basically used by the nobles, and the cost is relatively high. The latter is a writing medium made by processing a plant like papyrus.

Papyrus originated in ancient Egypt and was popularized as early as around 3000 BC, and then spread to the Mediterranean civilizations such as ancient Greece, and then spread to inland Europe and even West Asia due to the conquest of the Roman Empire. The British Isles, once a dependency of the Roman Empire, are also among them.

It's just that papyrus is not tolerant to moisture and is easy to mold, and the British Isles, where the climate is mild and humid throughout the year, is more likely to mold.

But adding flax to it, with the fiber length of hemp plants, can neutralize the properties and slightly strengthen some mildew resistance.

Flax, also known as flax, was originally produced in the Mediterranean region, both in Europe and the sub-temperate zone, and was basically spread throughout Europe with the Roman Empire, as did the British Isles.

This is exactly how Shiro made paper money.

Although it cannot be as indestructible as the hemp paper of the Heavenly Dynasty, the improved papyrus can withstand the influence of temperate and humid climate and enhance the resistance to mildew.

Moreover, it can be mildewed.

After the implementation, the principle of expelling good coins with bad coins can be implemented better and faster.

However, with the production capacity of ancient countries, even if papyrus is improved, it is difficult to produce paper on a large scale.

Therefore, Shiro intends to match paper and metal coins to create a new monetary system to control the economy.

I have to say that the Little Ice Age gave him disaster, but it also gave him an excellent opportunity to invade various countries!

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other more than yes.

However, that's all for the future. At least he won't act rashly before using food to trap countries. However, you can first try to implement a new currency system in your own territory on a small scale, and then slowly use commercial means to control the other's economic lifeline.

Shiro summoned the officials in charge of business, and the leader was Bedwell.

He gave Bedwell the responsibility of the new currency system, and at the same time asked him to summon merchants and trade in other kingdoms. He had to exchange more goods for goods. At the same time, he proclaimed that Camelot needed animal skins and weapons very much. If you have animal skins and weapons, you can exchange food with Camelot.

At the same time, he used magic to get in touch with the kings of various countries, agreed on the time and place of the sale, and negotiated tariffs.
