Blue Dragon Emperor: Lord of Thunder

Chapter 80 The Real Estate Dragon

Ron slowly landed on the large square built in Heishi Town, and said to the kneeling family members: "Get up, continue with your work, and leave without work."

Glengo, who was rushing here at the first moment, knelt respectfully in front of Ron.

From the storage ring, Ron took out the territory gift contract signed with Vinier and the token representing the royal family of Boren, and threw them to Glengo.

"Take these two things and notify all human nobles within the range defined in the contract that this is now my territory. They must either leave or submit to me."

Glengo got up and took the contract and token, respectfully said: "Obey, great master."

Long En continued: "Statistically counting the grain in the hands of the nobles who are willing to surrender, the part that is more than enough for them to use for two years will be purchased at the pre-war market price, and the refugees and civilians who are willing to migrate will be arranged to transport the grain to Blackstone Town."

Ron is preparing to completely shift the focus of the territory's construction to Blackstone Town.

The captives of the war, the gathered refugees, and the civilians who have been exploited so hard to survive in the noble territories will all gather in Blackstone Town.

Lon wanted to take advantage of the chaotic period of the civil strife in Bolun to build Blackstone Town into a large agricultural and handicraft city with full domestic demand. After peace was restored, it would attract caravans and drive the economic development of the entire territory.

"In the future, more captives and refugees will be sent to Heishi Town. The refugees will still be the same as before. Let them work in exchange for food and rewards. The captives will continue to be thrown to reclamation. Just try not to let them die. Tell them to reclaim the wasteland for five years. , to revert to civilian status."

According to the habits of this world, these prisoners of war were originally supposed to be thrown into the mines, and then died in mining accidents, pneumoconiosis or various accidents.

But Ron is different from those human lords. He has a professional mining family. The mining technology and efficiency of kobolds far exceed that of humans. Human miners are much easier to use.

Therefore, the hardest work in Long's Territory at present is to cultivate wasteland. For the prisoners of war, the treatment here is simply heaven.

Seeing that Glengo hesitated to speak, Ron said, "Is there anything else? Just say it."

"Yes, Master."

Glengo said: "According to your instructions, in addition to food rations, the refugees will get six to eight copper coins for completing their work every day. A refugee will have an income of nearly two hundred copper coins per month. Now the monthly gold coins in the territory The expenditure has already reached nearly ten thousand, if we continue to pay them, there will be no gold coins available in Blackstone Town."

"I will send someone to send fifty thousand gold coins over."

Long En had thought of this when he decided to pay the refugees. After the number of refugees increased, the expenditure of the territory would also increase, and in the end it would even be so large that the gold coins in his dragon nest could not support it.

But salaries must be given, and saving money cannot be saved here. Not only the refugees, but Long also asked Glengo to distribute two copper coins a day to those captives.

Although it is small, Long En's move is to let everyone in the territory understand that if you pay, you will get something, instead of doing free work for the lord, which can advance the work enthusiasm and work efficiency of the people in the territory.

When the citizens have money in their hands, there will naturally be consumption demand, and with consumption demand, business will naturally arise, and wealth will naturally begin to circulate.

But now the war is still going on, business has not yet developed, and the gold coins spent cannot be returned to Long's hands quickly through taxation.

Although Long ordered Glengo to sell meat and food in Blackstone Town, and some residents had already started selling some self-raised poultry and caught fish, but such a small-scale business operation was still difficult to promote the flow of funds.

Ron thought for a while, and said to Glengo: "From now on, the salary of the refugees will be increased to eight to ten copper coins per day, and no food will be served at night."

"In addition, tell all the refugees that after the housing for them is built, they only need to pay [-] gold coins to obtain the ownership of the house. At the same time, they can also choose to pay in installments, paying one gold coin per month. After [-] months to pay off the debt on the house.”

Fifty gold coins are not expensive. With the salary that Long En pays them now, they can get nearly [-] copper coins a month, which is equivalent to [-] silver coins and two gold coins.

Excluding necessary consumption (now there are no other consumption items except food), one gold coin can be saved a month, and the husband and wife can save one gold coin plus seven or eight silver coins. The work of female refugees is easier and the salary is lower. lower.

Two people can save more than 20 gold coins in one year, and they can completely own their own house in just over two years.

In the eyes of the refugees, Ron's behavior was simply the kindness of the lord, and they had to be grateful for the kindness of the lord.

Ron didn't care about how much money he could make from the small bungalows that he planned to give to the refugees for free. His purpose was to withdraw funds, maintain the flow of funds, and prevent his temporary government's funding chain from breaking.

When Heishi Town becomes Heishi City in the future, these small bungalows will inevitably be demolished and rebuilt into four or five-story tube buildings.

Ron only needs to pay a reasonable demolition fee and arrange a new house for the civilians, and then he can easily make more profits from it.

No matter which world you are in, real estate is a very profitable industry.

After listening to Ron's words, Glengo couldn't figure out why his master had to pay those commoners salaries, and then tried to get the commoners to spend the copper coins in their hands. He didn't quite understand Ron's intentions, but he vaguely understood what.

Ron didn't intend to explain it to Glengo, after all, such things as capital circulation, currency economy, and real estate are a bit troublesome to explain to a hill giant.

It can only be realized by Grungo himself in the process of carrying out Ron's order.

"Yes, Master."

……

As Glengo issued the decree promulgated by Ron, the recruited human administrators loudly announced the content of the decree on the square, and the onlookers were full of admiration.

The houses that were previously built for free for the refugees have always made the refugees feel uneasy.

Although the real dragon lord is not vicious, and the monsters living in the town are not as cruel as the bard said, but a house that does not ask for any payment is completely beyond their cognition.

In the worldview they established since childhood, no matter how kind the lord is, it is impossible to give them a house for nothing!
On the contrary, Long En's decree made them breathe a sigh of relief, and many people knelt down on the spot, praising Long En's kindness.

On the same day, a large number of citizens who had already moved into newly-built houses flocked to the office of the Lord's Office in Heishi Town, scrambling to ask the administrative staff for the "housing installment payment" mentioned in the Lord's decree.

Within a few days, the staff who kept copying the house installment contract documents were so tired that they changed several batches, and the number of civilians who came to handle it gradually decreased.

After hearing the news, Ron shook his head with a smile. The leader opened his mouth and ran away. He was such a social animal in his previous life. To those poor staff, Ron just wanted to say keep working hard.

"However, the efficiency is indeed a bit low. If there is a printer... huh? The printer can't be made yet, but papermaking and printing can be done first..."
