Chapter 329 I am a Crusader, I am stunned! (Part 2)
After some inquiries, Will Roche led his three Crusader soldiers and successfully passed the Stranglethorn Vale customs.
But what he didn't notice was that when the Stranglethorn Vale customs officer filled in the word "Crusader" on his entry form, the Idar man's hands were shaking slightly.
Windfall!
For the girl from Idar who was registering information for Will Roch, Will Roch's appearance brought her a windfall! So when Will Roch and the Crusader soldiers passed through customs together, she couldn't help but smile.
"What's up? Why are you so happy?"
The lady civil servant working at the window next to her turned her head and asked curiously.
"Those few people just now were all Crusaders! Hahahaha!"
“Oh my god!”
The big sister of the public servant ape showed a trace of surprise and... envy in her eyes: "There is a new 'Uncle Dell's' fried chicken shop opened in Idar City. Anyone who sees it can get a share. You have to treat us!"
"good!"
Although the items in that store were very expensive, the girl on duty still smiled happily.
Because in the Principality of Idar,
The soldiers of the Crusader Army also have another nickname that is popular among the people - "walking silver shillings"! "Walking silver shillings" is an important topic of conversation among the people of Idar during this period, and it is also a hot word from the Idar Daily.
Two months ago,
In order to stabilize the social order of the Principality of Idar, create a better social security environment, and maintain the Stuart family's rule over the Principality of Idar, the Idar Public Security Bureau and the Idar Central Intelligence Agency jointly issued the "Idar Citizens' Reward Measures for Reporting Espionage Activities".
The Measures stipulate that all clergy from the interior of the empire who have a clear subordinate relationship with the Church of Light, and all knights and retainers under the command of Norman nobles, may be engaged in espionage activities in the Principality of Idar, and are therefore subject to prosecution.
And as long as the identity of the person being reported is in line with the law, regardless of whether he is engaged in espionage activities, he will be given five silver shillings as a reward! You know, the exchange rate between silver shillings and copper coins is one to twenty.
Five silver shillings were equivalent to one hundred copper coins, which was equivalent to the salary of an Idar civilian for two months of continuous work!
This time, including Will Roche, this Idar girl registered four Crusader soldiers at once, and they all introduced themselves! She's rich!
That's twenty silver shillings, equivalent to four hundred copper coins!
For a moment, Idar felt very happy.
…
Will Roach had no idea that he had been reported, and he had no idea that he and his group had been included in the key supervision targets by the Idar CIA.
So, at this time, Will Roche and his companions just sat quietly in the rented carriage, looking at everything in the Principality of Idar with curiosity.
The rental of horse-drawn carriages emerged spontaneously along with the development of the Principality of Idar.
The refugees are poor, but it is not just the refugees who enter the Principality of Idar.
Compared to walking, people who have a little spare money may prefer to take this rented carriage and use this method to travel to the city of Idar or other towns in the Principality of Idar.
Therefore, horse-drawn carriage rental came into being to meet this demand.
Bruno held a positive attitude towards this new thing that appeared in the Principality of Idar, but at the same time, he did not allow the gold coins belonging to the Stuart family to enter this new business.
after all……
It is not only extremely unrealistic to want the Stuart family to control all business activities in the entire Principality of Idar, but it will also bring many disadvantages to the future development of the Principality of Idar.
Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade.
In Bruno's subconscious mind, the Stuart family must control those important industries that will affect the economic lifeline of the entire Principality of Idar, such as steel, military industry, etc.
As for the booming private economy, Bruno not only does not intend to make too much coercive intervention, but will also provide certain convenient conditions accordingly.
Take the rental of horse-drawn carriages for example. Even if those poor civilians have some spare money, can they afford to buy horses? It is definitely impossible! This requires civilians to rent horses and carts from the public at the Idar Chamber of Commerce at the appropriate time.
Those horses injured on the battlefield could hardly continue to take on the responsibility of charging into battle, so they were pulled to the rear of the Principality of Idar and entered the transportation field, shouldering the task of transporting goods or passengers.
The Idar Chamber of Commerce rented these horses to civilians at a relatively favorable price, thus transferring the cost of feeding the horses to the people of Idar.
This not only meets the needs of the current economic situation, but also saves Idar's fiscal expenditure and creates new jobs for the current Principality of Idar, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But Will Roach didn't know this.
He only saw that the roads in the Principality of Idar were extremely flat, and that there were endless streams of merchants and travelers traveling through the Principality of Idar.
"Leader..."
A Crusader soldier was about to say something when he was interrupted by Will Roach's gesture.
Will Roach knew what his men wanted to say.
Although he had not yet entered the city of Idar, Will Roche could already assert that this piece of land in the east of the empire was completely different from the remote and desolate place that Mike had mentioned! Even if he used his toes to think about it, he could understand how a remote and desolate place could have so many caravans flowing around, how could there be so many vast arable lands on both sides of the road, and how could there be...
Oh my god!
What the hell is that!
Will Roach rubbed his eyes hard, because he saw...a tall stone tower standing in the farmland not far away.
That was definitely not an ordinary stone tower (of course, it wasn't just any ordinary stone tower either). A large number of magical elements of different attributes converged at the top of the stone tower, rendering colorful colors and brilliance in the sky not far away.
And there is not just one such stone tower. Cables hanging high in the air connect the stone towers together. These towering stone towers continue to extend into the distance, with no end in sight.
Such things were beyond Will Roach's cognition, making his eyes look a little dull.
Such a huge project, such a peaceful, stable and fertile land.
The land in the east of the empire was full of wonders, and everything that appeared before his eyes made Will Roche a little overwhelmed for a moment...
besides……
