Chapter 386
"Master Eric!" Hiyori hurried to Eric's side: "Should we discuss the matter of changing the name of Wano Country?"

"I'm going to start the country." Eric turned his head to Hiyori and said, "This is a symbol of separation from the previous national conditions!"

"Then you can't easily change the name of the country!" Denjiro said excitedly, "Wano Country is...!"

"Do you want to talk about these useless principles again?" Eric sighed: "Then let the people choose for themselves!"

"What?" Rihe Yi stayed: "Master Eric, what do you mean?"

"I am going to hold a referendum in three months." Eric declared loudly: "Let the people here choose their favorite country name!"

"What is the referendum?" People in various regions were discussing.

As if explaining to the public, Eric held up a piece of paper and explained: "The referendum is the people who have reached the age to vote, and agree to change the name of the country and write yes on this piece of paper; if they disagree, fill in disapprove. After three months When voting, I will uniformly distribute this kind of paper."

"Give the right to choose to all adults." Eric turned his head and asked Hiyori: "Princess Hiyori, do you think this kind of decision is okay?"

"..." After a long silence, Hiyori finally nodded: "If this is the will of all the people, I will agree."

"What about those minors?" Denjiro frowned: "They are also members of Wano Country!"

"The decision-making of minors will be influenced by their parents and elders." Eric glanced at him: "They haven't formed the correct three views and may make wrong choices. You should have done a lot of bad things when you were young Bar?"

"..." Denjiro suddenly ran out of words.

『——Bought the wrong one? This cauldron costs 60 silver, right?’

"Well, can the 30 silver pot I bought just now be worth 30 silver?" asked the boy Denjiro.

"Well, of course you can."

"Then, I gave you 30 silver for buying the pot at the beginning, and this pot is 60 silver in total." Denjiro said with a smile, "I'll replace it with that big pot."

"Okay, thank you for your patronage!" The shop owner readily asked Denjiro to take the cauldron.

Denjiro, who cheated the owner of the shop by 30 silver, laughed and said, "Hee hee..."』

……

"Look around you!" Eric shouted, pointing to the chimney that was emitting black smoke and standing on the rock in the distance: "Because of the relationship between Kurotan Orochi and Kaido, Wano Country is now full of It's a factory, and countless black smoke is sprayed into the sky..."

"Undrinkable water, rations under control, ruined towns, and dry land!"

"I promise here to make the river clear, make the land rich, and make the people rich!"

"Starting tomorrow, I will recruit people to dismantle the factory, clean up the polluted river, and clean up the ruins of the dilapidated buildings!" Eric continued: "I will pay fifteen silver per day!"

"Oh!" The people of Jiuli Ruoluo Town cheered loudly. In the past, at the Taoyuan Farm in Orochi, they worked hard to earn five silver coins. They didn't even have enough water bills for the whole family for a week. They doubled their wages.

(The currency of Wano country is platinum, gold, and silver. Since no specific conversion ratio is given, I write according to my own inference. Platinum: gold = 1: 1000; gold: silver = 1: 100; according to sumo competition The reward is "If you can beat Urashima, you can get the dream 500 gold", if the ratio of platinum to gold is 1:100, then he just said 5 platinum.)
"In addition, since many people live in poverty, they may not have the energy to work, nor do they have clothes to keep out the cold, so—" Eric paused, and continued: "I decided to buy your hair in exchange for your worn out clothes!"

"Tomorrow I will set up 'receiving stations' at specific locations in various regions. Children can get 50 silver for haircuts, and adults can get 1 gold for haircuts!" Eric continued: "Two damaged clothes can be exchanged for a brand new one." clothes!"

"What? Is this true?!" The residents of Caishen Town looked down at the old clothes full of patches, and their thin and yellow arms due to malnutrition.

"Master Eric?!" Rihe opened his eyes and said, "This is a lot of money, I, I don't have that much money!"

"No, I will pay for the money." Eric said with a smile: "After all, this is my idea."

"Would you be so kind to give money to the people?" Denjiro narrowed his eyes: "What the hell are you planning?"

"Spend 1 gold to buy hair that is not worth a penny, what do you think I can do?" Eric spread his hands: "I just hope that those poor people have money to eat and a place to sleep."

Denjiro: "..."

"I also hope that Mr. Denjiro can introduce us to some skilled barbers." Eric asked with a smile, "For Kageshiro, the boss of the underworld, it's just a matter of little effort, right?"

"...within an hour, I'll get 100 barbers."

"Thank you very much!" Eric thanked: "I still want to teach them how to cut hair, please gather all the people as soon as possible."

Denjiro looked back at Hiyori.

"Denjiro, I'm fine if I stay here." Hiyori smiled slightly: "Master Eric will take good care of me."

Denjiro bowed his head and accepted the order: "I will take my leave first."

Eric then announced to the image bug: "Starting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, in the capital of flowers and the town of God of Wealth; in Boluo Town in Jiuli; !"

……

After the speech, Da Vinci and Chiron pulled Eric aside.

"Captain's brother?" Da Vinci approached Eric with a smirk, "Let's talk, the money for the haircut is easy to handle, how can we replace old clothes with new ones? We don't have so many clothes and fabrics!"

"Hey~" Eric clasped his hands together: "This matter can only be troubled by Da Vinci~"

"Leave such a troublesome thing to me?" Da Vinci said angrily, "I'm not Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket!"

"Yo~" Eric was stunned: "Da Vinci has also seen this anime?"

"Let's talk nonsense." Da Vinci hugged his shoulders: "What should we do with this matter?"

"Captain, what you promised is too troublesome. Even if we make it overnight, we can't finish making so many clothes!" Chiron also said with a headache: "On the first day of becoming the ruler of Wano, we can't keep the promise. The reputation of the bandit group will drop to a negative value!"

"Can't your magic make clothes?" Eric tilted his head: "Obviously Da Vinci is a magician."

"Magic is not such a convenient thing!" Da Vinci roared, "What do you think of a magician?"

"However..." Eric changed the subject: "If a magician can't do it, but with the ability to swallow fruit and Da Vinci's mind, he can definitely do it!"

"Huh?" Da Vinci was taken aback.

"Da Vinci's treasure, Uomo Universal, is a product obtained by realizing the legendary omnipotence, which can instantly analyze objects." Eric explained: "With Da Vinci's knowledge, treasure, and Tuntun With the fruit's ability, you can definitely create a machine that disassembles and sews clothes!"

"That's right." Da Vinci suddenly realized: "Is it because I have followed Eric for too long, and the brain's reaction has slowed down?"

"Hey!"

Chiron nodded and said: "The captain has actually considered this level."

"However..." Da Vinci looked at Eric with some doubts: "I always feel that Eric's policy of haircut and changing clothes is not as simple as it seems."

"Shave your hair and change your clothes." The knowledgeable Chiron immediately thought of it: "This is a method that the ruler came up with to consolidate his rule. Change the hairstyle and clothing of Wano Country, and then change the deep-rooted thinking of this country."

"That's right." Eric admitted: "I don't want to implement this policy too roughly. I can only use the economy to implement it from the people at the bottom."

"But those rich people will still maintain their current hairstyles." Chiron's clairvoyance scanned almost every corner of the Flower City: "One day in the future, class division will definitely occur."

"After two years of tax exemption..." Eric slowly said his plan: "Our rule will be more stable, and at the same time we will start collecting taxes..."

"That's how it is." Chiron didn't wait for Eric to finish, and immediately understood the meaning of his captain: "People who keep the current hair ornaments will pay different percentages of taxes, relying on the economy to suppress these rich people, thus forcing them to change. Hair and clothes?"

"good."

Da Vinci looked up and down, back and forth Eric: "Unexpectedly, the innocent boy in the past has now turned into a sinister and cunning politician."

"Hey!" Eric sighed, "Aren't I afraid of making waves?"

"What will happen?"

Eric opened his mouth, wondering if he should say something about the future.

Seeing this, Chiron chuckled lightly, breaking up the slightly heavy atmosphere around him: "Da Vinci, as long as we know that Eric will become a wise king and manage the country and the people well."

"That's right." Da Vinci stopped asking again: "After all, there are not many lords in the world, no, perhaps in the entire history of mankind, who take the initiative to distribute money and clothes to the poor."

"Thank you for your willingness to believe in me." Eric thanked.

"We have been with you for three years." Chiron smiled and said, "I firmly believe that you will definitely walk on the right path. You are such a person."

Eric pleaded: "Please also ask Teacher Chiron to continue to teach me and spur me on this road full of thorns."

Chiron smiled and said, "This is my honor."

"In addition, Captain, although we have a lot of Baileys here, it seems that gold and silver have been used as currency here, and Baileys are not applicable." Chiron asked another question: "The gold robbed from the Kingdom of Flowers Probably not enough."

"Oh, what are you talking about." Eric took out the broken gold pillar that had been stored for a long time from the inventory, and the huge gold pillar almost filled the entire room: "So much gold, shouldn't it be enough?" ( Chapter 35, Rewards for Temporary Task [-])

"What?!" Hiyori exclaimed, "Master Eric, what are you—?!"

Robin looked carefully at the pattern on the golden pillar: "Is this the golden pillar in the golden clock on the empty island?"

"Yes and no." Eric played a riddle: "Although it is exactly the same as the golden pillar in Sky Island, it is not theirs."

Eric put his hand on the gold pillar: "Lei Metallurgy!"

The ear-piercing sound of electric current sounded, and under Eric's lightning, the huge gold pillars quickly melted into gold coins of the same shape and weight. The massive gold coins almost drowned everyone.

"Gold!" Perona began to swim in the ocean of gold coins.

Eric said: "Guixie, Genos, Ajin, Rand, you four, bring some gold coins and exchange them for silver coins."

"Yes!" Ah Jin replied loudly.

"You really can call people, boss." Guixie looked at the gold coins all over the floor: "If that guy from Jiaodu sees this scene, he will definitely go crazy."

The four left with gold coins. After solving the gold and silver problem, Eric took out a piece of drawing paper: "Da Vinci, can you design a machine to sew clothes according to this pattern?"

"What are you drawing?!" Da Vinci, who was a realist, was furious: "I asked you to practice drawing, but you drew me this ghostly look?!"

"Teacher Chiron!" Eric asked Chiron for help: "Do you know how to draw a Chinese dress?"

"Of course." Chiron took the paintbrush and drew a template of men's clothing with just a few strokes.

"As expected of Teacher Chiron." Eric complimented: "We still need a template for women's fancy clothes here."

"Mr. Chiron, design a few more looks, can't everyone wear the same type of clothes?"

"Da Vinci, you must be smarter, including but not limited to dismantling clothes, washing and disinfecting, drying, intelligent design, sewing..."

"Captain, you are very annoying here!" Da Vinci drove away the troublesome Eric: "I have already thought of these, you get out of here quickly!"

After driving away Eric, Da Vinci, who was alone, swallowed metal, wood and other materials, made parts of different shapes, and then assembled them together.

Eric, who was driven away, came to the gate of Big Snake City. The battlefield like purgatory had disappeared, but traces of red, black, or white could be vaguely seen. The bloody smell was still very strong, making the expressions of a hundred barbers pale slight change.

Eric pointed to these hairstyle pictures, and said to the hundred barbers summoned by Denjiro: "Give me a haircut according to these styles, and each one will give one silver. How much you can earn depends on you." How much work did you do?"

Hearing that there is money to be made, one hundred barbers suddenly cheered up and looked at these styles carefully: the hairstyle is simple and capable, much more beautiful than the bun on top of their heads.

……

Early the next morning, some poor people, with worn-out clothes, waited at the place Eric had set up in advance.

At [-]:[-], a hundred barbers used hair scissors to cut off the men's ugly buns, and the simple and capable hairstyles made others' eyes shine.

The children held the silver coins they just got, and ran happily to the street shops to buy snacks.

The adult who had never touched a gold coin, rubbed the gold coin in his hand, and kept pinching his thigh:
"This is real!"
