I Will Eventually Become a Partner of Justice Chapter 341
If it's beating or robbing, that's not good either.
Because Vortigern's demonic beasts often harass the environment, everyone can fight back with concerted efforts. If there is a disturbance at this time, everyone will be finished.
Even if they wanted to make trouble, they had to remove Vortigern's threat first.
And Shirou learned about their movements through Merlin, and asked Gao Wen to transfer the elite soldiers away, leaving only five hundred recruits, and they were dressed in shabby clothes.
These kings came to Camelot aggressively, looking for Shirou. They thought that Shirou lured them to make the lion open his mouth, but the fact was beyond their expectation.
Shirou said sincerely: "You kings, you are all my predecessors. The attack of Vutigeng is a common hazard for all of us. My little brother has nothing, but his luck has been relatively good in the past two years, and he still has some food in his hand. The younger brother is willing to give it all to you, but the younger brother is really too poor, so I want to borrow food from the seniors to exchange for some usable things."
Shirou exchanged food with them for animal skins and weapons, the price was very fair, even a high ratio, with a sincere face, as if he was all for the sake of everyone.
With a sincere face, Shirou said with a smile: "We are our own people, we can't cheat our own people, right?"
The kings were all surprised, they thought they were going to be slaughtered, but they didn't, and they couldn't help but have a good impression of Shirou in their hearts.
After that, Shirou took them to see the barracks and the old city built by the Karnli people two years ago. It was a dilapidated scene.
When the kings saw that Shiro's soldiers were disheveled and used very old weapons, they understood Shiro's situation in their hearts.
It was exactly the same as those bards sang.
The most depressing thing is that there is a lot of food.
While the kings expressed sympathy on the surface, they looked down on Shirou in their hearts.
In the end, they agreed to Shirou's proposal.
They thought Shirou was stupid, and at this moment, Shiro didn't open his mouth.
In this kind of food shortage, even if the lions open their mouths wide, as long as they don't touch the bottom line, they can still bear it with gritted teeth.
As a result, King Arthur was foolish enough to deal fairly with them.
Seeing that they agreed, Shirou invited them to the palace for dinner.
The toasts were staggered, and the guests had a good time.
No one mentioned that two years ago, the kings laughed at Shirou as the "debt king". Because this is really too unpleasant, and these kings are all here to ask for food, how could they mention this matter?
Shirou smiled and toasted them, coaxing them to be happy, and then proposed to them the details of trade and mutual tariff reduction. On the Camelot side, a large amount of grain will be shipped to various countries for sale. In this way, it will not only promote people's livelihood and cultural exchanges, but also support grain in all aspects.
All the kings summed up and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, they felt that they had made a lot of money, so they nodded in agreement immediately.
Early the next morning, they went back one after another.
Shirou sent them off with a smile on his face.
"My king, I still don't understand. Why did you do this? We don't need to do this at all. If you wanted their kingdom, we could have ambushed swordsmen at the banquet yesterday and killed them directly!" Ag Guiwen's eyes were fierce, and his face exuded murderous intent.
Shirou patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Boiling water can't cook frogs, only warm water can slowly cook frogs."
After clapping his palms, Shirou asked, "By the way, how about the banknotes I arranged for you to print?"
"A warehouse has already been printed... Wang, are you really planning to use those waste papers to replace money?" Agguiwen asked puzzled.
"What is waste paper? That's paper money!" Shirou said with a displeased face.
"Not to mention, I have to go to Benwick. Two old friends, Banwang and Bosswang, have also asked me for food. Oh, yes. The leather they produce is quite good. , I like it quite a lot... Agguiwen, go and tell Lucan to expand the arable land this year."
"Yes—!" Agguiwen responded.
Wang left with a smile, but so far, Agguiwen has not been able to understand the significance of Wang's actions.
Neither the lion speaks loudly nor assassinates.
He just traded food for various resources and asked him to print waste paper.
"Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to do?"
Agguiwen muttered to himself, his face full of doubts.

ps: For some unimportant plots, I will use the Spring and Autumn brushwork to bring them over. After all, normal farming needs to cover everything, but it takes a lot of chapters. For the same people, it is too over the top, and everyone doesn't like to read it.
Chapter 100 Carrying the fate of a race [third]
In the ancient Western world, two kinds of paper existed.
One is parchment and the other is papyrus.
The former is made of sheepskin, which is relatively expensive in today's era. It is basically used by nobles, and the cost is relatively high. The latter is a writing medium made of a certain treatment of the plant papyrus.
Papyrus originated in ancient Egypt and became popular as early as 3000 BC. It was later spread to ancient Greece and other Mediterranean civilizations, and then spread to inland Europe and even West Asia due to the conquest of the Roman Empire. And the British Isle, once one of the territories of the Roman Empire, is also among them.
It's just that papyrus is not resistant to moisture and is easy to mildew. In the British Isles, where the climate is mild and humid all year round, it is more prone to mildew.
But adding flax to it, with the fiber length of the hemp plant, can neutralize the characteristics and slightly enhance the mildew resistance.
Flax, also known as flax, originated in the Mediterranean region, and is produced in Europe and subtemperate regions. With the Roman Empire, it basically spread throughout Europe, and it is also found in the British Isles.
This is exactly the basis for Shirou to make paper money.
Although it cannot be destroyed for a thousand years like the hemp paper of the Chinese dynasty, the improved papyrus can resist the influence of the temperate humid climate and enhance the resistance to mildew.
Moreover, it is good if it can be mildewed.
After the promotion, the principle of using bad money to drive out good money can complete the promotion better and faster.
However, with the production capacity of ancient countries, even if papyrus is improved, it will be difficult to produce paper on a large scale.
So Shirou intends to combine paper and metal coins to create a new currency system to control the economy.
It has to be said that the Little Ice Age brought him a disaster, but it also gave him an excellent opportunity to invade other countries!
Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, nothing better than yes.
However, that is all for the future, at least he will not act rashly until the countries are locked up with food. However, you can first try to implement the new currency system in your own territory on a small scale, and then slowly use commercial means to control the other party's economic lifeline.
Shirou summoned the officials in charge of commerce, and their leader was Bedivere.
He handed over the new currency system to Bedivere, and at the same time asked him to gather merchants to trade with other kingdoms. If you have animal skins and weapons, you can exchange food with Camelot.
At the same time, he used magic to get in touch with the kings, agreed on the time and place of buying and selling, and agreed on tariffs at the same time.
