I'm the villain

Chapter 411 The Undercurrent Under the Island
"That's not right."

Bai Qing tightened the reins and turned the horse's head.

"wrong."

The villain system didn't know what stimulated the host. She didn't go in the direction of the grassland, and she didn't have the consciousness to return to Moss City.The direction of Bai Qing is the hometown of Eva Getyusha.

A place called Mordo.

It is not far from the city of Moss, and it takes half a day to ride a horse.

"Host, what are you doing here?" The villain system realized that he had never known about the host.

"Complete the task." Bai Qing said.

With her face, she is safe here.No one in Modo City cared whether she was from the Phantom family, they were all thinking about their own survival.

Bai Qing stayed in a small hotel. The milk brick tea made by the proprietress was delicious, and she could drink a bowl in one sitting.

The proprietress is a restless character. She took over the knitting work from other places, and would sit at the door of the store knitting sweaters when she had nothing to do.Finger-thick wool can be woven into any desired shape under the skillful hands of the proprietress.

Bai Qing exchanged a gold coin for a sweater.

"This is wool, warm. This winter will take a long time to pass."

The proprietress tried her best to sell, trying to get generous customers to buy one more piece.

"Guest, you won't be able to use gold coins in the future. Melt them as soon as possible."

Melted?Bai Qing looked at the gold and silver coins in the bag, feeling a little puzzled.

"It's all gold, why melt it?"

These are all in Eva's luggage.The girl didn't know why, but she seemed to have arranged all the things that could be used and sent them to Moss City.

The proprietress's soft eyes suddenly became sneering.

"If you take gold to the church to exchange gold coins, you will lose some catties. Look at this ounce of gold coin, written as one ounce, how much does it weigh? I can assure you that six pieces of one-ounce bread are definitely cheaper than five pieces of one-ounce gold coin." Heavy."

Bai Qing didn't notice this.

She didn't expect that there was such a trick in it.

Once in and out, according to the proprietress, if one weight of gold per unit is exchanged for gold coins after the church mints, there may only be seven or eight tenths left.

"People in Modo City don't use gold coins anymore. You should melt gold coins and silver coins earlier, so they can still be used."

According to the proprietress, Bai Qing hired her husband, a blacksmith, to help cast it into gold nuggets.

A bag of gold coins melted out a lot of impurities.A full loss of two tenths of the weight.

This is blatant exploitation. The main church located in the No. [-] block of Moss City is the center of churches everywhere.

The church in Country L is not only used to spread religion, but also to mint coins.It is inconvenient for merchants from all over the world to bring gold coins to trade when trekking to do business. They can hand in gold coins from the church where they are located and get colorful paper as a voucher. These 'notes' can be used to withdraw gold coins in any church along the road.

Depending on the withdrawal amount, different deposits will be charged.The church has the right to modify the standard and amount of the deposit.

This primitive way has caused many businessmen to be strangled all the time, struggling to survive.

After hearing what the proprietress said, Bai Qing understood why the people of this country were poor and why the nobles were extravagant.

When churches in various places collect money, they will make offerings to the landowners, that is, the nobles from all over the place.Over time, these nobles have more and more money, while the common people have less and less money.

Since the use of gold coins, the proportion of gold has been diluted.The church's exploitation of merchants forced the prices of commodities to rise.

The aristocrats hold huge fortunes and continue to dilute the market with counterfeit gold coins.Commodity prices are rising, and the gold coins in the hands of the people are becoming less and less valuable.

A few days later, Bai Qing learned from the proprietress that there was a riot in Moss City and many civilians died.

Even the old king was poisoned to death by his valet, and the Crown Prince Ace became the new king.

"Host, go back to Moss City. Complete the mission with your teammates."

Bai Qing took the bread from the proprietress, dipped it in applesauce and ate it, without any intention of responding to the villain's system.

The villain system is in a hurry, but there is no way to interfere with the actions of the host.

"Host! Don't forget, you still have tasks to complete!"

The villain system was hysterical, and Bai Qing drank the milk brick tea given by the proprietress in one gulp.

"Miss Boss, where have all the guests here gone? I haven't seen anyone coming for several days." Bai Qing lived in a small family hotel, where there were still a few businessmen living, but she didn't see any of them for several days. .

"I left, saying I want to go home. I don't know if I can go home alive."

The proprietress sighed.

"You have to plan early. The rent will increase, and the food will also increase. The gold coins you gave are not enough."

Bai Qing was stunned. She paid a month's rent and food in advance when she moved in, but she didn't expect that after half a month, it was not enough.

"The price of everything in the market is going up. Today there is still jam to eat, but tomorrow I am afraid that the price of a bottle of jam will not be able to buy a cabbage."

Bai Qing returned to her room with the bread in her hands. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. She had to roll up the cuffs of her sweater to expose her elbows to feel cooler.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking seriously about the news she heard from the proprietress.

Gold coins are becoming less and less valuable. Modo City, which is not far from the capital Moss City, has begun to use melted gold nuggets instead of gold coins, and no longer accepts paper money.

In just half a month, the rent and food have doubled, and there is even a trend of continuing to rise.

If the price continues to rise, the gold coins she brings may not allow her to survive in Modo City for another month.

Banknotes can no longer be used.The banknotes are secured by the credit of the church, which belongs to the country's financial institution.Paper currency is equivalent to waste paper in the eyes of the people, which means that the country's credit system has collapsed.People don't believe that paper money can be exchanged for gold coins the next day, and they don't even know how much gold can be contained in the gold coins they get.

This is the closest city to the capital Moss.

The people had no confidence in paper money and gold coins, and the church did not take effective measures, which caused extremely bad effects.

The people began to doubt the country.

Prices have skyrocketed and people have lost confidence in the country.

"Those who lose their way are of little help, but what is the way?" Bai Qing discovered that the task site chosen by the main system was born with original sin.

The villain cannot be identified here, only the hero.A hero who swims upstream or downstream.

Whether it is the quintuplets who are the opponents or they who need to destroy the kingdom, the subjects facing the choice are the same.

The main body of the problems they face are the civilians of this country.

If the quintuplets want to maintain their rule, they can try to fundamentally resolve the civil uprising.

They want to complete the task, and they can destroy this crumbling kingdom from the bottom up.

What is the root cause of the civil unrest?Bai Qing didn't know until someone told her.

"People who don't have enough to eat are willing to leave their homes and seek death." This is what a refugee said during a mission.In Bai Qing's eyes, those refugees and those who rioted in Block [-] belonged to the same kind of people.

Bottom-up power has been accumulated for more than ten years.From the outlander's conversation with Eva Gedyusha's father, an undercurrent has swam.

This kingdom is an island in the sea, and the nobles fish for gold coins to satisfy their gluttonous appetite.They don't know that what they catch again and again is the foundation of this island.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the explosion.
