Release that Witch

332. Chapter 332

    In the days before the set off to explore the ruins, Tilly’s greatest interest was to hang out along the flat streets of Border Town and observe the remote territory of the Roland feudal lord.

    This is a very different small town, she thought, the more carefully observed, the stronger the feeling. It is very different from anywhere she has been…The most profound of her impression is probably the unparalleled vitality of this small town.

    Even the emerging Sleeping Island can’t be compared.

    “Is these people not afraid of freezing?”Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, Andrea is curious. “What good is your brother’s promise, so that they are willing to come out to work in the winter?”

    “Now is Zhongqiu,” Ash said. “You won’t be able to distinguish even the seasons.”

    “But it’s no different from winter. It’s an analogy. It’s often seen in “Her dreams, his country.”” Andrea gracefully picked up long hair. “Of course, the barbarian won’t understand.”

    “What your dreams, my dreams…”

    “Look, it’s hard to communicate without the vulgar people who have enjoyed the drama. Lady Tilly must have watched this famous drama from Kingdom of Dawn. ”

    “You don’t want to fight,” Silvy sighed. “I think the reason is probably very simple. Winter civilians are reluctant to move because they are expensive, not full, and susceptible to cold, but these problems do not exist in small town. The food prices here are not high, the firewood is also very good, and Miss Lily can heal the cold, so they will work hard against the cold wind and snowflake – more than one day can get a day’s salary. ”

    “I can understand the firewood. The west is Hidden Forest. There are many woods in the surrounding area. The food price is not high…”How was this possible?”Andrea wondered, “My family has also been involved in the sale of food, such as the poor harvest caused by natural disasters, everyone will raise the price of food very high. Like this bad weather, noble and businessman impossible don’t sell high prices? ”

    “noble? MerchantSilvy becomes silent. “There is only one person allowed to buy and sell food here, that is, His Royal Highness Roland.”

    “The farmland by the river is all his industry?”Tilly frowned.

    “No, it’s all the farmland of the serfs,” she told herself about what she saw and heard here, as well as the scene of the harvest. “He made two food prices, one is the purchase price, and the other is the sale. The price, both prices are fixed, the latter is higher than the former.”

    “Isn’t this a strong buy and sell?”Ash’s unpredictable expression, “He can sell high prices, why not allow others to sell high prices?”

    “It’s not the same,” Tilly said. “When the wheat is harvested, it needs to be threshed, ground, and stored. These are costs, and the price rise is normal.”

    “Lady Tilly is right, I asked Teacher Scroll later,” Silvy said with a smile. “She said that after the extra cost of this part is collected, it can be paid as a salary to those who handle wheat. The new granary can expand the scale of production, which can provide new towns for small town…”She thought about it, “The job, yes, she said that.” I heard that His Royal Highness Roland is very concerned about this. ”

    “But he is still strong and strong,” Ash stressed. “Isn’t trade should be free?”

    “Maybe it is, but the price of the sale of His Royal Highness is not high enough that everyone can’t afford it. If this price can remain fixed, the people will be more at ease. ”

    “Sometimes it’s not all that freedom is the best,” Tilly said, and she’s already well understood the intentions of Roland’s approach. It is forbidden to sell food to other people in the territory. It seems to be overbearing and unfair, but in fact it has eliminated hoarding and can effectively avoid the skyrocketing of food in the event of shortage. If it is in Kingdom Capital, such a rare fall of autumn, the price of food will inevitably rise to five or six times the weekdays. More than half of the civilians will be hungry because of insufficient food. It will be easy to cause riots after a long time. Relief grain or dispatched guards to suppress. Regardless of the situation, it is a big burden on the national treasury.

    Although this policy looks good, it doesn’t work anywhere. Most of the food sales are noble and wealthy. They have a large number of serfs, farmland, and the royal family impossible to force the production of their food and prohibit them from hoarding food. However, in Border Town, except for Roland Wimbledon himself, there is almost no noble family, and he is the only one who has the final say.

    After Tilly spoke his own opinion, Ash was still a bit uncomfortable. “What about the serfs? When food prices are high, they may get more income, but they are all exploited by fixed prices. ”

    “Hey,” Andrea smirked. “It’s like being in a free trade city, these people can escape exploitation. When the wheat is harvested, they not only have to pay more wheat, but even the one they keep will be pushed to a very low price. When the harvest is bad, it is a problem to go through the subsidy. The remaining point can survive the famine. In contrast, fixed prices are more reasonable, as long as the crops are produced more and the income is higher. ”

    “Here, they can choose not to do it,” Silvy said, giving the three a glimpse. “His Royal Highness said that after the production reached a standard, the serfs could be promoted to free people. Whether to continue farming in the farmland or to choose new jobs are their own wishes. However, the free person only needs to pay 20% of the grain. According to the purchase price at the harvest this year, the salary is also very impressive. ”

    “Well, when the Highness preached, he said that he would let Border Town have no more serfs in two or three years.”

    So that’s it, Tilly’s heart suddenly touched, which is why the small town is full of energy…When he made the policy, he actually considered the people’s ideas and joined them in the incentive system to encourage them to do more and better – this is completely different from any noble feudal lord. Incentives are not only expressed in words, but actually give up some of the benefits, so that the people can get through hard work, rather than deepen these interests in the castle’s underground vault.

    At this time, she really understood the meaning of the red banners on the riverside.

    However, Roland Wimbledon was not a generous person in the palace…So, is this the change that part of the “unexpected memory”? She is also fascinated by the elementary nature and mathematics of the evening classes.

    Tilly thought that after reading the palace collection, it was hard to have anything to stimulate her curiosity and interest, but now she found that she still needs to learn a lot.

    Suddenly there was a feeling in her heart, even if she didn’t do anything, just staying in the small town castle, looking through the books that recorded the magical knowledge, and watching the changes in the town was also a pleasant thing.

    Suddenly, a long bell sound came from the wall, which was an alarm from the Evil Beast offense.

    Tilly puts these thoughts into the bottom of heart. Unfortunately, now she is no longer an unfettered Fifth Princess, but a leader who is responsible for the fate of Sleeping Island witch. Some things can’t be done by their own preferences. “Let’s go Look at the city wall, maybe you can help the guards.”

    “Of course,” Andrea smiled. “This is what we are here. Let them have a good understanding of how the witch fights. ”
