From that day on, Fam's happy life in Elis officially began.

Every morning before dawn, but when the chefs in the bakery have started to work, Fam will wake up naturally.Even though the soldiers told them that the first pancakes would be eaten after the sun came out, Fam, like most people, insisted on queuing up in advance.While shivering in the cold wind in the early morning, they discussed with each other the taste of the cake, when the cake would be distributed, and the great land god.What was said is actually not important to Fam at all, and he will never remember it afterwards. He only remembers that when these topics were discussed, everyone was happy, and they watched with full hope. Those chefs are making cakes for them.And all they have to do is stand, talk, line up, and finally wait for a whistle...

In the first two days, everyone had the experience of being overwhelmed.Even if you have eaten four or five cakes in a row, and your stomach has been filled, but after eating, everyone will subconsciously go to the end of the line and join the next round, because no one knows that after eating Is there any guarantee for this meal and the next meal?It's not easy to come to King Elis City once, if you don't try your best to fill your stomach with a few more cakes, then when you recall this time in the future, how much regret you will have.

But when everyone ate the cakes to the end, couldn’t eat any more, exceeded the time limit, and was slapped several times by the soldiers, everyone began to become realistic, and no longer pursued complete satiety, and everyone began to control their appetites. out of a rational estimate.Just like Fam himself, before he came to Wangcheng, he never knew how much he had to eat, because in the countryside, he was always rationed according to his own harvest. If he ate too much, he would face famine in the future.And this ration is always lower than the real needs of your stomach.

When he arrived in Wangcheng, he ate biscuits for two days, and after being slapped five or six times, Fam finally grasped the exact figure of his appetite. If he ate two meals a day, he could eat three biscuits steadily in one meal. If you eat three meals, you can only eat two in that meal.And specifically whether to eat two for three meals, or three for two meals... This difficult question is still being considered by Fam, which has multiple connections with the number of people in line, the choice of porridge shed, and the skill of the chef.

Every morning, Fam would choose to go to the porridge shed at the north gate, because after a night, she would usually be hungry, and the porridge shed at the north gate had the least number of people queuing up.The people living around the north gate are nobles from the royal city. It is not uncommon for those nobles’ families to line up with commoners to eat free cakes. Very bad, Fam has eaten two cakes that were baked unevenly, and the chef was lazy, the sugar in the cake was not mixed, good luck can eat sugar cubes, bad luck, even can’t eat sweet taste.

At noon, we must go to the entrance of the Royal Garden of the Palace. There are many trees planted near the porridge shed. Whether it is a place for queuing or a place for eating, there are leaves above the head to help block the sun.In the summer when two suns are in the sky, the feeling of being exposed to the sun is quite uncomfortable.Moreover, for the convenience of watering, a lot of wells were dug there by the edge of the imperial garden. After eating the cakes, drinking a few mouthfuls of cool well water, the taste is not to mention how beautiful it is.

For dinner, the square is without a doubt the best choice.Because the chefs there are said to be the cooks of the princesses’ homes. Every piece of cake they baked is burnt and crispy in the mouth. The sugar in it is not directly mixed with the flour like in other bakeries. Instead, there is a special sugar filling, which is sandwiched in the middle of the whole cake.This kind of sweet taste tastes like concentrated honey, and the taste is burnt on the outside and tender on the inside...Because of this, the bakery in the square is the most difficult to queue up. Generally, after lunch, take a short nap Yes, I'm going to line up for dinner, otherwise I might not get my turn--in that case, the loss outweighs the gain.

In addition to eating pie, Fam also had two simple jobs, each time when he was queuing.There will be one or two soldiers in the back row of the team, holding a few cakes in their hands, and telling everyone the temporary recruitment. The salary is usually two cakes or three, and the work to be done is often very simple. Before Fam I did it twice, once to help soldiers carry food, and once to help kill chickens.That time when he helped kill the chicken, Fam not only got the pie, but also a few pieces of chicken.

After that, when Fam was full, he would take the initiative to go to several bulletin boards in the city to listen to everyone's job recruitment. As long as he thought he could do it, he would sign up for it.

During this process, Fam began to gradually realize that it seemed easier and more frequent to find a job by himself.Even in the past two days, he almost didn't need to go back to line up to get the cakes anymore. He could earn more than a dozen cakes a day just by relying on various temporary handymen.Fam, who has always been penniless, has saved more than a dozen silver coins in his body only a little over a week after arriving in Wangcheng.

Fam began to have a vague expectation that if he could find a long-term job in the city, maybe he could stay in the city for the rest of his life, maybe he could eat cookies for the rest of his life.Even if there is no cookie to eat in the future, as long as he can have an errand, he will be able to eat enough. This is much more exciting and comfortable than his daily farming life in the countryside.

But this kind of good expectation only lasted for a few days before subtle changes occurred.

The number of people in the city began to increase at a speed that could be felt. At the beginning, Fam could still easily find a shelter from the wind and a warm place to sleep at night, and even spent a few coppers to live in the city. homes of local residents.But by the second week, he even wanted to sleep on the street, but couldn't find a place to turn over.The God Envoy also bought some noble and merchant houses in the city for them specifically for their accommodation, and arranged for some old people and children to live in them.But for a man like Fam, sleeping is still a big problem.The key to this problem is not the quality of sleep. Even if Fam is thrown into a pigsty to sleep with pigs, Fam can still sleep until dawn. The key is that in this completely open environment, Fam is now There is a big problem with the safety of these dozens of silver coins.

This made Fam start to suffer, and this pain was even more overwhelming than when he first came to Wangcheng and waited hungry.At least at that time, he knew that as long as he queued up, there would be something to eat, but now, he didn't know what the silver coins in his hand could be used for.In the past, Fam's biggest dream in life was to have enough food. Now that this dream has been easily realized, Fam didn't know how to continue for a while.

As if the angel could hear Fam's thoughts, when Fam was suffering for this little money, at noon the next day, when he was about to line up at the entrance of the porridge shed in the Imperial Garden, he saw everyone Looking at a notice.Beside the notice, a clerk held up a loudspeaker and seriously announced to everyone the content of the notice.

It was the first time for Fam to have a meal, so he had no intention of queuing up for dinner, but listened carefully to the clerk's speech.

This is the king borrowing money, the king borrowing money from all the common people!The interest rate is very high, very high!Because the king borrowed silver coins, but what he returned was real land that was more expensive than gold.

Anyone who bought a bond worth five silver coins would be able to use this bond to get back five hectares of land a year later!

A whole five hectares!

Fam is a farmer, he knows the current land price too well, the worst one hectare, which can only be used to grow beans, can sell for three gold coins at the lowest price!

It's a whole three!

In other words, if you start investing now, you can get [-] times the profit with interest in one year!

With Fam's current net worth, if he buys two bonds, he can get a full ten hectares a year later. In their area, many knights don't have so much land.

Each of these bonds bears the king's great seal, not only the king's great seal, but also the king's head.

Fam had never seen the king, but from the enthusiastic purchases of other people, he immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity to change his destiny.Almost without hesitation, he joined the rushing team.

……

"Are we making counterfeit banknotes?" Wu Xiaoqing looked at the turbulent crowd in front of him, a little dumbfounded. He thought that the rough "banknotes" made of this kind of printing paper might not be recognized by anyone at all, but the fact proved that the king's credit is still Very good.

"Based on the technology of this era, five silver coins, even if you just buy a king's head, are a good choice for art investment," said the search and rescue team. "After we leave, these banknotes will definitely become precious antiques."

"But the money we print, even if all the land in the Kingdom of Elis is distributed, it may not be enough." Wu Xiaoqing really wanted to feel the simplicity of people in this era, who have no awareness of financial fraud prevention at all, "They never thought about it." ?"

"It doesn't matter anymore. After the volcano erupts, let alone five hectares per person, five hundred hectares per person can be enough... Before, like Xu Yan, it was too inefficient to go to each door to borrow money and mortgage. Yes. Do you still have printing paper? We can also print a batch of ten gold coins and one hundred hectares of large-denomination banknotes."

"Not much," Wu Xiaoqing said, "I just brought dozens of boxes of paper...the ink is basically used up. I didn't think about printing money at the beginning, let Professor Shen buy more this time. Brother, I don't understand , They bought the land with all the money, don’t they want to leave even more?”

"The land was promised by King Elis," the search and rescue team said. "After we leave, the new King Antony will never admit it. Don't say that the king just went to the south, even if the king is dead, those who bought bonds, I’m afraid we have to try our best to let God resurrect the king first, pay off their debts, and then die. Once on this boat, it will be difficult to get off. Most of the people who buy this kind of small bond are common people, and they can’t afford it. This kind of temptation will take out every savings; they can't afford this kind of loss, even for the money, they will follow us to the end."
