Facts have proved that the city center is indeed better, but it only goes so far.

The entire street is still dirty and messy. The windows of many shops on both sides of the street have been smashed. It seems that they have been visited by robbers, but it is much better than the surrounding areas.

After wandering around for a while, speaking fluent Europa, Luo Ji quietly obtained a lot of information.

This port city has been experiencing food shortages more than two months ago. Food prices in this entire area have increased more than five times in a short period of time!

However, the price is no longer important now, because the current situation has reached a point where ordinary citizens cannot buy food even if they have money.

The scarcity of various materials has caused a significant devaluation of currency in this Europa player's territory. Even if a large-denomination banknote falls on the ground, it will be like garbage and paper on the roadside, and no one may pick it up.

…

"Let's go in and take a look."

"Master, let's send someone over to take a look later."

Wang Kai, who was standing aside, said cautiously.

He and Luo Yunxi were naturally not afraid, but what if something unexpected happened to His Majesty?

In response, Luo Ji patted Wang Kai on the shoulder and said...

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After saying that, Luo Ji walked directly towards the alley ahead.

The open space at the deepest part of the alley is a black market. There are at least five or six black markets like this in this port city. Luo Ji learned this information from a local old man before.

As mentioned before, in this environment, the currency has depreciated significantly. Even if you offer a price that is several times higher than the original price, no one is willing to sell you the supplies.

Nowadays, the city's trading methods have returned to a barter-for-barter model, and the black market in this alley exists for this reason.

There are quite a lot of people coming and going in this black market. The appearance of Luo Ji and the others did not attract much attention. Even if someone occasionally noticed them, they would only glance at them and then continue to do their own thing.

.

Many people who brought goods just sat down on the ground and started doing business.

At the same time, it is worth mentioning here that these people who dare to enter this black market have a common characteristic, that is, everyone carries a gun.

Some stall owners even put a loaded rifle under their noses, not only to protect themselves, but also to deter some people with bad intentions.

This made Luo Ji have to sigh in his heart, it is indeed a free country. In his civilization of all realms, ordinary civilians, let alone holding guns, even knives and crossbows must be strictly controlled.

In this black market, Luo Ji strolled slowly, while Wang Kai and Luo Yunxi followed him closely, one on the left and the other on the right.

He didn't mean to take the initiative to talk. To obtain information in the black market, sometimes you don't need to ask at all, just listen.

From those exchanges between buyers and sellers, he was able to obtain a large amount of information.

After walking around for a while, Luo Ji had a preliminary understanding of the entire black market.

They really sell everything, including guns and bullets. Of course, the quantity is not large, and bullets are still sold by the bullet, and the prices are not cheap.

However, on the black market, the most expensive and most sought-after items are undoubtedly food and medical supplies.

Even if there is no clear trademark on the tablets, and they are suspected to be produced by illegal factories, you will have to pay a high price to buy them.

Canned foods that have quite good nutritional value and can be stored for a long time are even more popular.

Luo Ji saw many people who lived a relatively wealthy life before the war took a jewelry necklace that was worth a lot of money and wanted to exchange it for a can, but the other party was not necessarily willing to do so.

In the long run, some jewelry can naturally maintain its value to a certain extent, but the problem is that in the current situation, whether it can survive this day is a question. If it cannot survive, then this jewelry necklace has no meaning.

.

Luo Ji, who had fully understood the situation in the city after his trip, returned to the military camp as his frontline stronghold, and quickly issued an order to start dispatching troops to maintain law and order in the city. At least robbery and robbery were definitely not allowed.

It happened again.

This port city, as his important frontline stronghold, must be well managed.

At the same time, if you want to restore productivity to this almost ruined port city, the top priority is naturally to take over the various factories in the city.

And after a factory is established, employees with corresponding skills and able to provide labor are definitely necessary.

These employees undoubtedly have to be found from the citizens of this port city.

As for the reward, it’s easy!

In this city now, food is more valuable than money, and Luo Ji's civilization of all realms has never been short of food. Therefore, if you only need to give a promise of two meals a day, there will definitely be a lot of people willing to do it.

working for him.

And the result was indeed the same. After Luo Ji ordered the matter and announced it through radio and notices in the city, the registration point set up was overwhelmed by the large influx of citizens the next day.

Fortunately, he was prepared and had enough manpower arranged in advance, otherwise, he would really not be able to cope with it all at once.

As for the subsequent work of recruiting and arranging positions, he does not need to worry about it.

After all, for these citizens, whoever can give them a bite to eat is their food, clothing and parents. Who cares about the issue of whether they are aligned or not?

Of course, some die-hards are not excluded, but Luo Ji doesn't care at all.

After all, there are only a few people like that. The vast majority of people in this world will not have trouble with their own lives.

What he needs to do now is to contact his wife and then trade a lot of food supplies.

The warehouse for storing food resources in the military camp was actually very large, but Luo Ji still felt that it was not enough, so he asked the soldiers to vacate several buildings and use them all to store food.

After making space, Luo Ji only had to walk inside, open his backpack, and throw out piles of grain traded from Ye Qingxuan.

Within half a day, all the granaries in the military camp were full.

As for such a situation, the soldiers of all civilizations have long been accustomed to it. After all, from ancient times to the present, no one thinks that their majesty is an ordinary person.
