. "Ah Yeh! Ah Yeh! Ah Yeh! Alas. It's really a hell. You can catch a cold in this hot day? Or is someone saying bad things about me behind my back?"

While some conspirators were planning a military coup in a brothel, a certain Yin Pseudo-girl who was shopping suddenly felt a chill on her spine. Then she sneezes several loudly.

So Major General Ferry Taylor had to rub his nose with a handkerchief in depression, while lowering his head and complaining in a low voice.

The same depressed feeling was the bad-faced clerk in front of him.

"Can you please be careful, this customer? The snot just now splashed onto the sample clothes in the store!"

Just, oh, is that right? That's really a shame.

Feili gave him a look without sincerity. Then she said casually, "Please give me a correct number. If this light blue cotton coat can be promised to pay three guan per piece, I will set up a big order to help your store clear the stock at one time."

As soon as he heard such an outrageous price-snatching price, the clerk's face suddenly became gloomy. Because he had not recognized Feili's identity for a while, his tone became extremely stiff, or a bit sarcastic? Help our store clear the store? Have you made something wrong? Now that the price has risen by three times a day, who will be in a hurry to get out of business? Everyone is busy closing down, stocking up goods, waiting for the price to continue soaring, making a fortune! It is already a very kind thing for our store to open its doors to continue doing business. You have to cut the price harshly. And you will immediately reduce the store from six guan to three guan. Let's give you a half discount?!"

He reached out his finger and pointed to the outside of the store. "You can go to the street outside to take a look. Not to mention the new ready-made clothes, even if you make a coat, you can sell it for at least four or five jin! Three jin of money per cotton jacket? You are simply robbing!"

But, since that's the case, let's go to another store to have a look."

Feili shook her head and smiled bitterly, put down her clothes, turned to look out the street outside, and looked full of withered, ragged refugees and beggars, and servants and bodyguards holding sticks and looking nervous.

Most of the shops have closed down, and even had wooden strips nailed. Only the pawn shop business is extremely hot, and all kinds of precious items have fallen to the bargain price. At the entrances of several grain stores that have not yet closed, there are endless queues all day long. Even though the purchase limit for each person is getting smaller and smaller, the price of rice is rising. The worries and hungry citizens still grit their teeth and rush to buy them wildly.

Under such a crazy inflation of currency, it is indeed difficult to get any bargains according to normal channels.

???????Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?

Edo Castle in late August is the worst season of the year.

The irregular thunder and rain and the continuous rising temperature make everyone feel extremely irritable and uneasy.

Even in the relatively cool beach area, at noon, the room is as stuffy as a steamer, which is very easy to make people faint and heatstroke. It has to wait until the sun sets and the dusk covers the earth. This unbearable stuffiness will be relieved slightly, but the mosquitoes that have regained vitality from the scorching heat will bring people greater troubles.

In addition, for the Giant Bear Legion stationed next to the shipyard, it is not just these problems that bother them. One is that the host is completely scrapped and all kinds of spare parts are seriously hidden. The restoration work of the Xiangrui floating warship has been delayed. Many key components have been exposed and endured by the rain in Jingxi, which makes people worry that large areas of rust will occur.

In order to avoid this terrible danger, all parts had to apply engine oil once a day. However, in this ghost place in the Far East, you can only buy some inferior oil paste with very low quality. The person in charge of the engine room had to significantly increase the usage to ensure the effect. In this way, even in the barracks accommodation area that is a distance away, you can always smell a strong smell of engine oil, which makes people feel nauseous and vomiting.

Although as a qualified alchemist, Feili's room has never lacked air freshener, due to the small output, it is difficult to popularize the entire army, and the result is that it is still dizzy by the overwhelming complaints...

So he simply took the name of purchasing clothes for the entire army and taking a few guards out of the military camp, intending to stroll on the market to change his mood. By the way, he dragged the captain who was frowning all day because he could not repair the motives of the warship. His fat lich Owo, who had a lot of fate, met Miss Zena, who also planned to go to the city to stroll around, and went shopping together. However, after wandering around, Feili became even more entangled, and even her eyebrows were frowning. The most important reason for the trick was that the terrible price that was seriously over budget.

?7???Knife?????????????????????????????????????????????

The giant bear army under Feili first went across the sea from the Ninaserel colony, and then fought on the Mazka continent for nearly a year. Then, it was scared to the ocean for five months before finally reaching Edo Port. During the long journey, they had already consumed all military supplies, from arms, ammunition, food and medicine to clothes and quilts. This all requires purchasing and supplementary services.

In addition, the composition of his troops is quite complex at present. Among the more than 5,000 soldiers landing in Edo Port, more than 3,000 were the Inca remnants inherited from King Tkumse, as well as some prisoners of war rescued from the Elf Army's slave camps, and the group of soldiers who were initially deceived from the colony. In fact, most of them had already been buried in the foreign land, and now there are only more than 1,000 people left.

Although the Xiangrui floating warship has a large size, it has many cabins and uses space folding technology to carry a large amount of goods. Unfortunately, most of them are private goods sold to the natives. They were beaten twice in battle and almost scrapped, and even burned and exploded. All the supplies were extremely hidden, and they could not take out new military uniforms to change the soldiers who later joined. Everyone could only wear whatever they could find.

As a result, a messy exotic clothing display in the army seemed to be held, from leather robes, windbreakers, prison uniforms, grass skirts, blouses, sailor clothes, seized elf-style bark shirts to rusty antique armor, feathers on the head, gold rings on the ears, and gem necklaces on the neck are considered common phenomena, if it is a bit scary, there are also people who use dead bones as decorations.

Recently, Feiri recruited about a thousand local soldiers in the Edo area through the Kuroshima family. Therefore, in this self-formed clothing display, there were some old kimonos and tattered wooden clogs. At first glance, it was really colorful and dazzling. Rather than saying that this was a well-trained army, it made people feel more like a temporary beggar sect.

Feili had long been very dissatisfied with this messy and ugly scene.

When he was sailing on the sea before, there was nothing he could do in the warehouse of the Xiangrui. Now he finally had a slightly stable place to settle down. Recently, he took advantage of the crisis and knocked a sum of money from the shogunate. Feili thought about finding a few tailor shops to prepare a batch of new military uniforms for his subordinates and unify the clothes of the entire army. At least he should have the appearance of a regular army. Moreover, since he had not changed his clothes normally for so long, even the imperial standard military uniforms on those old groups were almost turned into rotten cloth strips after experiencing the harsh test of tropical rainforests and cold plateau environments. This is not only very unsightly, but also easily tempts terrible skin diseases and parasite diseases.

Therefore, as soon as the news of the public dressing was heard, the army suddenly became full of joy.

Unfortunately, ideas are beautiful, reality is cruel.

Because they are not familiar with the commercial market in the Edo area, Feili initially entrusted the matter to the staff of the Imperial Embassy under the Minister Zena, who felt that they should be familiar with this place and would not be easily deceived and killed and suffered losses.

Who would have thought that after discussing and mumbling for a long time, this group of people actually issued such a sky-high bill to the Giant Bear Legion. 12 trump card for each set of clothes.

Feili almost fainted at that time: Even if you want to get benefits and take kickbacks, you can't eat so hard!

You should know that Japan has always been known as the gold and silver island, and gold and silver mines are scattered, which leads to the very low price of precious metals. According to the market conditions, four-spin copper coins can usually be exchanged for one tael of gold, and twelve-spin copper coins are equivalent to three taels of gold.

As planned, each of the six thousand war soldiers would cost at least 36,000 taels of gold. In terms of weight, it would be almost one and a half tons.

At this outrageous price, Feili worked hard to make private goods in the Mazka continent, plundered spoils and robbed the city, and finally accumulated a small treasury, and recently spent all the military expenses he had knocked out from the shogunate. I am afraid that it would be squandered in a few times.

?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?Knife?

So, he roared angrily and drove away the greedy bastards, and then went out to the market to find the source of goods. As a result, after hitting a continuous wall. Feiri had to admit incredibly frustrated that in the current ghost place in Edo Castle, if you want to buy a slightly decent set of clothes, you really have to spend such a sky-high price!

Western military uniforms and leather boots that no one is willing to wear in the local area need to be customized separately with experienced old tailors, so the price naturally becomes very high. For the time being, even for cotton or linen kimonos, 3 and wooden clogs that Japanese residents often wear, most shops have a price of about six cents a set, and there is no discount for large-scale orders! The reason is that on the one hand, the consumption level in Edo is originally scary, and on the other hand, it is affected by war factors and hoarding of vendors. The food prices have "swooshed" up, which has led to the price of various daily necessities rising together.

Before the war, the price of rice in Edo was about one pound of blade text. After the order to attack Changzhou, it soared to a pound of celestial leap. When Kyoto was defeated, the news of the imperial court's downfall came, and the price of rice even rose twice in a row, reaching the terrifying level of milk text per pound. Even at such a price, due to the crazy purchases of residents, major grain stores could not guarantee open supply, and there were often out of stocks.

As the price of white rice surged, the prices of taro, salted ash, sugar, vegetables and other foods naturally rose, followed by the price of cotton cloth, iron and medicinal materials. As a result, merchants hoarded goods and were reluctant to sell them too early, resulting in a further priceless product. In addition, the war blocked the traffic between the origin and the market, resulting in a serious shortage of goods. "Looking up at the street, there were closed restaurants, grain shops, grocery stores, and price tags that were constantly changing numbers. Feili felt that his wallet was too much.

However, no matter how shriveled his wallet was, he could not go out without wearing pants. In the end, Feili had to grit her teeth and planned to accept her fate and be slaughtered. At the price of six stakes for each set of clothes, she customized 12,000 sets of cotton kimonos and wooden slippers, and spent a full 18,000 taels of gold to give the troops a shrinking version of the Japanese style.

As for the two thousand elves who were currently being detained in the barracks and still being smashed into their hands and unable to take off their hands, Feili originally planned to get some prison uniforms for them. However, after calculating that according to the current market price, even if they only had a pair of shorts each, it would cost about 500 taels of gold, the Major General decisively gave up this idea.

Anyway, they have been imprisoned with bare butts for more than half a year. No matter how shy they were, they should be used to it now. It is a hot day now, even if they are naked, they are sweating profusely, and it is really unnecessary to buy clothes. In order to save valuable military funds and avoid this wave of inflation, let the elves and female prisoners of war continue to maintain a safe state.

Moreover, in this extremely open island country, local women seem to have never had the habit of wearing underwear. And according to Feili's observation, there seems to be a small pillow behind the women's kimono. Could it be that it is convenient to fight wild animals anytime and anywhere?

?Knife 7 knives?Knife %?Knife 7 knives?Knife 7 knives

After comforting himself like this, Feili randomly chose a big shop that looked dumb, and initially determined the color, fabric and style. Then she sent a guard back and asked the military camp to organize people to send money to pass the seller's market, which was in short supply. Therefore, according to the store's requirements, such bulk transactions actually had to pay first and then do business!

Then, just as he was waiting for the cash to be delivered, he happened to meet Heijima Ren, who was responsible for purchasing ingredients. After the initial work of recruiting and reviewing local soldiers was completed, this Oriental pseudo-woman had no special things to do for the time being. Because he was familiar with the place here, he could occasionally get some good goods at relatively low prices, so Heijima Ren, recently took over the job of purchasing food.

Of course, although Heibi Ren is known as a local snake in the Edo area and is born in the urban management team. It has some special features, given the extremely tight procurement funds relative to prices and the terrible market trend, the food level of the officers and soldiers of the Giant Bear Legion has inevitably declined significantly in the near future.

After all, Edo citizens at this moment have long been struggling in the abyss of hunger. Ordinary families generally live a life of pawning. Men secretly cover their faces and take out the pots, pans, clothes, shoes, socks, calligraphy and painting decorations that are slightly decent at home, and use the price of the house to pawn and exchange for something for eating.

It was like scattering bamboo shoots, and he pulled down his own property layer by layer, and finally ended up being a waste of his family.

In order to fill your stomach, citizens can only throw away dignity and other things. Most housewives become very fond of nature. They go to the suburbs all day long to find edible wild vegetables. Dig up sweet potato vines in the harvested fields. Children pick up garbage dumps and beg for passers-by in groups. As for thieves, they are even more rampant.

Outside the Giant Bear Legion's garrison, there were many unkempt guys wandering around every day. Given the tragedy of the Kyoto Incident, the officers and soldiers who were too afraid initially thought that there was a secret organization trying to destroy them, but later they realized that these people were just too hungry and wanted to fight for the food waste thrown in the barracks. For this reason, they often clashed with each other and even fought to the point of blood.

Under such conditions of extreme disguise of materials, if you do not have the ability to dominate the sky and have strong relationships, you will definitely not be able to get any quality food. And Hitoshi Kuroshima's connections and communication skills seem to be a little worse, and they cannot reach such a level of despicability.

Therefore, after taking a look at the goods pulled on the carts behind the Oriental Pseudo-girl, Feili curled her lips with some dissatisfaction.

Why is there only Shengcai, taro and white radish? There is not even a slight amount of meat or oil. The soldiers have long complained that they have stomachache. Uh, they have bought so many nattos?! Who wants to eat this thing?!"
