Rise In Calradia

Chapter 383: Reinvigorating the economy

It took no more than a few days for the Amira Fort to transform from a ruin to a hotbed. The soldiers were intoxicated. Although the local people were dissatisfied with this phenomenon, this was their favorite savior. Lord Byron's order, secondly, these annoying big-head soldiers have indeed made outstanding contributions to the local economy. After the disaster, Fort Amira is much better than other areas affected by the earthquake. Although houses need to be rebuilt, roads need to be rebuilt, and life needs to be gradually restored, but materials and manpower are relatively abundant, and there is even more energy. To support the Gamizi region where the culture and customs are basically the same and have fallen into the hands of Byron. Therefore, the local people have a lot of things that can be traded, and the dinar is still as attractive as before in other parts of Calradia.

In a few days, the locals exchanged the excess reserve materials for shiny dinar coins and some so-called Saland dinars (actually, the patterned Saland-style dinar coins), and then used them. These dinars went to trade necessary supplies with Byron's large caravans and merchants who had come from the north after hearing about the business opportunities. Thanks to the powerful coin system and perfect currency system of the Kalad Empire, until today, the self-minting coins of various countries are still minor revisions on the dinar produced in the old mint, and the specifications have basically not changed. Trade operations are also proceeding smoothly on this unified and extremely similar currency system.

When Byron was a mercenary in various places in the mainland to save money, he discovered the great legacy of the ancient giant that had fallen for two hundred years. Majestic castles will collapse, prosperous cities will decline, mighty armies will disintegrate, and wise monarchs will pass away. Today's Calradians have forgotten much of their past knowledge, but the empire’s coins remain Rule this land.

That massive amount of stable currencies overwhelmed the financial systems of the foreign countries surrounding the empire, and the dinar was integrated into everyone's life like blood. Over the past two centuries, many independent currencies have tried to challenge their authority, but all have failed without exception. The dinar has always been the mainstream currency of the mainland. Even today's dinar comes from those ancient coin mints that have been transformed.

Therefore, there is no need for cumbersome currency exchange. Even the merchants of Nord and Wikiah can take their dinars directly to the south to do business. Even if the language is different, everyone can recognize gold and silver.

The influx of caravans solved Amila’s previous material dilemma and quickly recovered the business economy. Before Byron ordered a camp to entertain the soldiers who returned from victory, the local market had been rebuilt on the ruins of the old market. Up.

The Peony Group escorted a merchant back and forth between the few remaining commercial roads, and the mercenaries paid to them by the merchants once again made Byron a fortune. Later, Jamila's messenger also rushed to Amila. After more than a month, with the joint efforts of both sides, the road from Amila to Serendil was finally able to pass the carriage normally. Under Byron's order, the surplus supplies were quickly sent to Gamizi, Serendil and Veluga.

In particular, Veluga, although this city on the Great Plains was affected by the earthquake much lighter than the two castles in the east, it was still severely damaged. After the disaster, a large number of people living in the city and surrounding manor villages swarmed into the remaining areas of the city. The reason is no other reason. It is purely that there is still a shelter there, and there are food and daily necessities they urgently need.

But within a week, people discovered a serious problem. The food rescued in the city was carried by the farmers outside the city so that everyone would not go hungry for the time being, but the salt had been consumed. The rainwater after the disaster contaminated the overturned salt jars, and people soon had no salt to eat. Not only that, if the firewood and charcoal are gone, you have to find broken wood in the ruins to start a fire. When the herbal medicine is gone, we can only see if we can get the materials on the spot, but it can't fill the huge wounded gap. Worst of all, even at this time, the Veruga still wanted to drive away the Swadia. The local defenders had suffered a lot of losses, but now they are even more exhausted and hard to cope with. If it weren't for Byron to send troops in time and bring in much-needed supplies, Veluga would definitely have a big problem. As the current manager of Veluga, Byron can't let this happen.

But now, the disaster has gone, and Rodok's recovery work has never stopped as the earl's army is heading to Salander. Agriculture continues to work, and every crop left behind after the earthquake must be taken care of. Houses were repaired, and many people moved back into the houses from their tents. Once free, the workers will immediately go to the next village and continue their previous work. By the time Byron ordered the establishment of camps to entertain the troops, these severely-hit places had some shadows of the past, and people could return to their past lives.

Of course, such a workload cannot be handled casually.

Originally, the workload of reconstruction was large enough, and this rare holiday brought great pressure to the consuls and clerks appointed by Byron~lightnovelpub.net~Every day there are incidents caused by ** , There are countless tax bills and public applications. The candles are always bright in the ruling hall, because officials have to stay up and work late at night.

Residents and soldiers are either having fun or arguing endlessly over a lot of trivial matters. The days are still going on, and it can even be said that they are better than in the past. But they didn't know that when they thought everything was going for the better, a war centered on the Intelligence Committee was going on silently hundreds of miles away.

Byron knew very well that with their current strength, there were still many gaps in the castle, and the condition of the outer walls had not improved significantly. At this time, if three times their Sarander troops attacked, their chances of winning were very slim. In order to gain an advantage, Byron must take action from other areas, doing everything possible to weaken the opponent, or choose to confuse them.

Sultan's scouts entered his land endlessly to conduct investigations. Byron's initial method was to join forces with Assassin to destroy them all, but soon he realized that if appropriate information was given to the other party, On the contrary, it can bring him a greater advantage.

So he began to compose a lie, a lie that was enough to make the Sultan of Salander make wrong decisions.
