The Witcher: Rise of the Dead

Chapter 209
Cash for work has always existed in my own world.

Although it is not the best way, but the best choice.

It can solve the food and clothing of the refugees, and at the same time, it can prevent the refugees from doing nothing, thinking wildly, and being used by those who want to.

But it is very unfriendly to the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Without labor, there is no food, or only a little food that does not fill the stomach.

This makes the vulnerable even weaker.

However, in the face of disaster, it is a process of weeding out the bad and saving the good, so this is an inevitable result.

In the end, after Thanos returned to Menghua Town, he summoned Sarah and the mayors of other small towns again, and then replaced food relief with work relief.

As for the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, he has already given up in his heart.

The time soon came to the second day.

Malone sent someone to report and negotiated with the Frogmen.

A bow and crossbow, a harpy slave, an arrow, and three catties of grain.

However, because there are no Harpy slaves yet, the Frogmen exchanged fifty catties of grain for a crossbow.

It's not too deceitful, but it's not too cheap, just the price Thanos expected.

It can only be said that Ma Long's ability to handle affairs is indeed good. If he conquers a city in the future, he can consider making the other party the city lord.

Of course, the premise is that the other party does not break the scandal.

He always has a feeling.

Sooner or later, the other party will be ruined by a woman.

If you want your subordinates to work hard for you, you must meet the needs of your subordinates, so he has never minded his subordinates messing around, even trading money and power.

As long as he can do good things and not cause trouble, he will turn a blind eye.

But if the matter is exposed and the trouble becomes serious, there is absolutely no tolerance for it.

That's his bottom line.

After dealing with the transaction of the Frogmen, Malika also decided to report the situation of the Wayne family.

In her debriefing, Thanos heard a completely different version.

The Wayne family has been engaged in the food industry in Menghua Town for decades.

When I was a wizard apprentice, I always collected food at a low price and sold it at a high price, and there were even a lot of forced buying and selling.

However, as long as the previous apprentice wizard paid, he didn't care whether he oppressed the people or not, so the Wayne family almost monopolized the food industry in Menghua Town.

At that time, the Wayne family had a very bad reputation.

However, since Thanos killed the previous wizard apprentice, the Wayne family immediately changed their attitude and showed kindness to the common people, so they transformed into philanthropists and conscience enterprises.

This is the administrator's evaluation of the Wayne family. As for how much money was spent, no one knows.

At the same time, the Wayne family was also the first group of people who paid taxes and gave gifts to Thanos.

So in order to stabilize the situation in Menghua Town, Sarah also readily accepted the other party's loyalty.

But although the Wayne family is not doing anything illegal on the surface, they are still suppressing food prices secretly, and even buying and selling by force.

Several times, he was about to be quarreled by the farmers, but was suppressed by the Wayne family with a strong wrist.

Using the money ability to make the guards close their eyes, and then several apprentice knights in the family took down the troublemakers.

For this reason, several people were even killed.

In addition to these, there is also the matter of black factories.

In order to reduce labor costs, the Wayne family even bought and sold people and indigenous people, and entered the factory to work.

During Marika's investigation, it was even seen that many corpses were thrown out of the factory and entered the stinking ditch or the Lami River.

And these slaves were bought at low prices from bankrupt farmers or refugees.

Some sold to the Wayne family voluntarily, while others were forced.

In addition, there are some criminal records of members of the Wayne family, such as beating people to death and robbing civilian women.

But these are all things in the past, and after Thanos ruled, almost nothing happened.

Seeing this, Thanos knew that his time had come, he could open the can and echo the blood.

So he ordered Sarah and the guards to cooperate with Malika to take down the Wayne family, and then have a public trial.

He did not participate in the next action.

After all, it is just a family under his own rule, like a bug, he can handle it at will.

He hadn't even seen the patriarch of the Wayne family before. It was just that during the experiment, Suni came over to report on the minting of coins. Then, by the way, during the public trial in the whole town, everyone applauded and even called him He is the best and kindest wizard in the whole world.

In this regard, Thanos just smiled slightly, and then asked about the minting of coins.

Regarding the minting of coins, Suni was almost ready.

Templates, patterns, and anti-counterfeiting marks have all been selected, and many iron coins and purple tin coins have even been minted.

However, because the quantity is too small, it has not yet been put into the market.

Another thing is that Suni hoped that Thanos would grant her a thousand gold coins, just in case.

After all, with the emergence of new currencies, trust is not established so quickly, it will take some time.

During this period, it is very likely that there will be a wave of currency withdrawals, a crisis of trust, and so on.

After Thanos thought about it, he called Sarah and asked about the financial situation.

The result can be imagined.

The issue of new currency was originally due to insufficient funds, and there was a thousand gold coins to guarantee the currency, how could it be possible to get it out.

Even Sara said that let alone a thousand gold coins, she couldn't even take out a dime.

In fact, the finances of Menghua Town are not so exaggerated, and a few hundred gold coins can still be obtained.

However, Sarah was dissatisfied with Suni's taking away her coinage rights, so she deliberately made things difficult for her.

After all, if Suni hadn't gotten involved, she would have done the minting of coins.

The benefits are so huge that she is jealous.

In the end, it was Thanos who came forward and said a few words, and Sarah agreed to take out 150 gold coins and lend them to Suni.

But the annual interest is 20.00%.

Normally, this interest rate is already ridiculously high.

But there is no bank in Menghua Town, and there is no fixed interest point, so there is no way to blame the other party for the high interest rate.

As for Suni, although she was a little hesitant about the 20.00% interest, she quickly agreed.

After all, as long as the new currency is accepted by the public, it is not a matter of hundreds of gold coins, but thousands, or even tens of thousands of gold coins.

The huge benefits made Suni make up her mind to take a gamble.

Of course, this is also due to Thanos giving her confidence, otherwise she, who couldn't even eat enough to eat a few months ago, would not have such courage.

If things get messed up, it's a big deal to go back to the adults and serve them for the rest of their lives.

Anyway, no matter what, it won't be a disadvantage.

After all, even if it is to serve adults, not everyone has this opportunity.

There is a large group of young and beautiful women outside, all vying for it, wanting to serve the adults.

Thinking of this, Suni blushed slightly.

If Thanos knew what Suni was thinking, he would probably be helpless and feel a sense of accomplishment.

After all, no man would not like to be worshiped by a woman.
