The King - Chapter 372

Chapter 372 A scene of history

Everything was ready, and when he was about to set off, Maxim suddenly made a fuss.

“Hudson, the contract we signed does not include carrying these contents, don’t think about using me as a coolie!

The great dragon family absolutely cannot accept this kind of insult. ”

Everyone’s face changed when they heard this. The dignity of the dragon was involved, and things suddenly became troublesome.

Using a giant dragon as a pack horse is probably the first of its kind for a dragon knight. Searching through the memories in their minds, no one found anyone using a giant dragon to pull goods.

“Earl Hudson, what should we do now?”

Morrison’s helpless Q&A.

The key to this operation is Maxim. If the giant dragon refuses to cooperate and uses other transportation methods, many hidden dangers will definitely be added out of thin air.

“I’ll try to communicate with him first, Your Excellency knows the habits of giant dragons.”

Hudson said with a depressed face.

Deep in his heart, he had already greeted Maxim’s family, which was really too much for Dragon Knight.

It’s okay if you want to blackmail, but you have to notify in advance!

What is the dignity of the dragon talking about at this time, and I don’t want Hudson to bring a big box when he came here just now.

If everyone hadn’t paid too much attention to this operation, I’m afraid they would have discovered that Maxim’s words and deeds were inconsistent.

Dragon is not easy to raise. There is an old saying in the continent of Aslante: The knight pays for the behavior of the dragon.

“Earl Hudson, I leave this matter to you!”

Morrison said sincerely.

…

“Dear Mr. Maxim, how can he be a coolie?

These are all gold coins!

If you feel that it is an insult to carry gold coins on the road, then I will keep your little treasury for you. ”

Hudson secretly changed the concept without paying attention. If it weren’t for the huge gap in strength between the two sides, he would have already hammered this stupid dragon.

“Impossible! Hudson, you miser, if you dare to touch Benlong’s gold coins, I will turn against you!”

Maxim said angrily.

On the issue of gold coins, only the dragon cheated people, and I haven’t heard of the dragon being cheated.

Thinking of this question, Maxim was filled with anger. In the past few days, he worked hard and sowed seeds for more than half a year, but Hudson usurped the final results.

The euphemistic name is: Daily cultivation costs.

Follow the dragon knight, who has ever seen a dragon pay?

If he hadn’t been beaten by the society before and was too eager to strengthen his strength, he wouldn’t have compromised!

“Don’t worry, Mr. Maxim. Without your permission, I will not do this kind of thing.

But this delivery mission, I think you need to think carefully. After all, your daily expenses are not small, and you are too lazy to earn your hard-earned money. Being in debt is not an option!

What’s more, it’s rare to come out of Dragon Island, and go back after hundreds of years, with such a small savings, you are embarrassed to say hello when you meet a familiar dragon.

Maxim, do you think this will work? After completing the task, you will be rewarded with a box of gold coins. ”

Hudson tried hard to fool.

It is obvious that these words are not only for Maxim, but also for all the masters present.

This time, he was on a business trip. As a great nobleman in the kingdom, Hudson had to show his aristocratic awareness and could not ask for money.

Maxim did not have such a burden. The country that the dragon knight is loyal to does not mean that the dragon must also be loyal.

Anyway, the label of the giant dragon greedy for money has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone can accept it if they take the opportunity to reap benefits.

“Not enough, at least ten boxes. Don’t try to fool Benlong. I have heard your previous conversations. These papers are very valuable.

The ten boxes of gold coins I want are probably less than one percent. With such a low shipping cost, you have already taken advantage of it.

There are a few of them, if you can fly, fly yourself, I am not a random dragon! ”

After hearing Maxim’s supernatural explanation, Hudson wanted to laugh, but was embarrassed to laugh out loud.

It’s not a random dragon, and it’s not a dragon if it’s casual. Just once in love, a bunch of offspring were produced. There are hundreds of species involved, but I have never picked a food.

Hudson was not in a hurry to bargain, but turned his gaze to the crowd behind him, motioning for everyone to hurry up.

Perhaps everyone has some understanding of the habits of giant dragons, and they are very aware of how stupid it is to talk about money with giant dragons, so they chose to turn a blind eye to Hudson’s hints.

The difficult bargaining session is always the most tormenting. His lips were almost worn out, and he managed to convince Maxim.

Deep in his heart, Hudson has already cursed. When encountering such a thing in the future, he will definitely avoid it immediately. This kind of double reed play is really too difficult to perform.

In the dead of night, a dragon came out through the sky. Everyone who stepped on the dragon’s back for the first time was thrown dizzy. Especially the box on the dragon’s back was flying around.

Fortunately, the accompanying magicians reacted quickly and released the protective shield in time to avoid the tragedy.

…

Boxes of bonds were sent out, and the bond price rise that was originally caused by the Holy See’s sweep of goods has gradually stabilized.

It’s just that at this moment, it’s no longer the previous 12% discount, but 90% discount, 15% discount, 12% discount… Some high-yield bonds are even higher than the face price.

However, these high-interest bonds have nothing to do with the Holy See. Their goal is to consume the cash flow of the Alpha Kingdom, and buying cheap ones is the kingly way.

Although they are constantly being exchanged, due to the one-month buffer period, the number of bonds in the hands of the Holy See is inevitably increasing.

Looking at the bills reported by his subordinates one after another, Pius VII thought that his subordinates were capable at first, but gradually he realized that something was wrong.

Appointment-style exchange is too risky for those who hold a large number of war bonds.

In case the cash flow of the Alpha Kingdom is exhausted before the payment is made, and the debt default is announced in advance, these bonds will be thrown into their own hands.

“Send the order, don’t continue to buy. First exchange the bonds in our hands, and then buy the second batch!”

After completing the exchange, send someone to watch the people of the Alpha Kingdom to see if they are really burned publicly. ”

After all, I don’t play finance, and I don’t have a deep understanding of bond trading, and my thinking mode still stays in the general commodity trade of buying low and selling high.

Being able to send someone to supervise the burning of bonds in the Alpha Kingdom is the limit that Pius VII can think of.

After all, these bonds have magic imprints, which retain the traces of the years. The specific issuance time and number of issuances can all be checked, eliminating the possibility of additional issuance after the fact.

“Your Majesty, Caesar IV is calling on nobles across the country to raise money. It is said that tens of millions of gold coins have been raised. The tens of millions of bonds in our hands alone may not destroy their finances.

Now the hearts of the people in the market have stabilized, except for ourselves, almost no one asks them to cash in advance.

If we gave them time to raise money, all our previous efforts would be for naught. What’s more, the bond price is still climbing slowly, and our acquisition cost will be higher in the future! ”

Bishop Sauron stepped forward to persuade.

In this wave of massive operations, the various departments involved in the operation have made a lot of money from it. No matter how much the Pope emphasizes strengthening supervision, the specific operational power is in the hands of specific executors.

According to the current market situation, basically if you buy one million war bonds and take them back to the Alpha Kingdom for cash, you will lose about 150,000 yuan.

Anyway, it’s a money-losing business. If you buy a bond worth 600,000 or 700,000 yuan and pay it, you can report 1 million to it;

With the relationship between the Holy See and the Alpha Kingdom, it is impossible to send someone to verify it. When it comes to specific implementation, how many war bonds are purchased is a matter of one sentence.

The less loss is our net profit. Take the money up and down, and all the relationships are settled.

On the books, the Holy See has purchased more than 10 million war bonds, and has also completed the redemption of more than 6 million bonds. In theory, Alpha Kingdom’s cash flow is already very dangerous.

If there are so many war bonds, if they are hit all at once, the Alpha Kingdom’s finances will be paralyzed even if they don’t collapse immediately.

If the acquisition continues, the Alpha Kingdom realizes that it cannot hold on, and it will be a tragedy to directly turn on the bad mode and pull them into the water.

But theory is theory after all. In Sauron’s view, if the data on the books are cut in half, there is a lot of moisture.

Broken ships have three catties of nails. In the context of the Alpha Kingdom desperately raising money, no matter how poor the financial resources are, they will not be killed by millions of gold coins.

“Your Majesty, Bishop Sauron is right. To deal with a stubborn person like the Alpha Kingdom, one must beat him to death with a stick.

Judging from the information fed back from various places, basically after more than 20 days of application, the Alpha people will take out cash for payment.

In a small number of areas, the payment can be completed even seven or eight days after the application is completed. The financial strength shown by the Alpha Kingdom is far more terrifying than we imagined.

It is said that a large part of the cash was borrowed from major chambers of commerce. The outside world’s confidence in the Alpha Kingdom is far stronger than we expected! ”

Blake followed suit.

He does not know whether the outside world has confidence in the Alpha Kingdom, but he has no confidence in the administration of the Holy See.

The judgment criteria are very simple, just look at the reaction of the Alpha Kingdom. How could you be so calm if you were hit by a massive run on bonds?

Seeing that all his subordinates demanded more efforts, Pius VII suddenly realized that he was too idealistic, and he actually took it for granted that the Holy See was clean and honest.

“Since you all say that, let’s intensify it! Tell the people below not to go too far, if you can’t produce results after a long time, hum!

Ulisse went to the ascetic camp to select a thousand people, and distributed them to various places to supervise everyone’s implementation. ”

Pius VII said indifferently.

He has long wanted to rectify the administration of the Holy See. It’s just that the corruption from top to bottom is too severe, and everyone boycotts the rectification, making it impossible for him to start.

This time is different. The investment of tens of millions of gold coins has not been able to bankrupt the Alpha Kingdom, and has exposed the corruption of the Holy See.

The matter was too blatant, and even if everyone present wanted to help the subordinates speak, they didn’t know what to say.

…

Accompanied by the order after order, the staff of the Holy See who are responsible for carrying out the task are also scalp numb.

“How did you do it? The bond of one million gold coins was sent over, and the Alpha people paid it in less than seven days?

Lie, make it up for me too. With so many cash reserves, do you think this is the capital of the Alpha Kingdom?

Do you think that His Majesty the Pope is far away, so you don’t know what you are doing, just put the money in your pocket and say that you have completed the task!

I tell you that the inspection team from the headquarters is coming down soon. I vomited out everything I ate, and immediately went to the market to buy war bonds, and then cashed them in the shortest possible time.

Don’t explain to me, and I don’t have time to listen to your explanations. Anyway, if the Alpha people refuse to pay, the mission is not considered complete.

The people who came here this time are all ascetic monks. Don’t expect any kindness to talk about. If you can’t complete the task, report to the sin camp!

From now on, all the war bonds received will be exchanged by me personally. If the numbers and accounts do not match, you will not even have a chance to enter the Atonement Camp. ”

Bishop Montesson reprimanded sharply.

One level down one level, I thought I had received a good job to make money. Unexpectedly, there was a deviation in the situation, and the exchange point set by the Alpha people did not collapse immediately.

Deep in his heart, Bishop Montesson already hated those chambers of commerce. If it weren’t for the help of these guys, where would the Alpha Kingdom have any cash reserves here!

Even if the money is sent immediately, it will be consumed quickly.

It’s a pity that several major chambers of commerce have intervened. The Alpha Kingdom only needs to deposit funds anywhere in the mainland, and it can be withdrawn here.

Of course, there is also a time difference for this withdrawal, and timely remittance cannot be achieved. In addition, it is necessary to clarify the amount of funds remitted to various places, which cannot be freely allocated.

This means that some places have rich cash reserves and accept exchange quickly; some places have insufficient cash reserves and the exchange time is prolonged.

Bishop Montesson does not know how much interest exchange is behind this. Anyway, he knew that his dream of getting rich was shattered, and now things were very troublesome, and he had to earnestly implement the tasks.

…

Bundles after bundles of bonds were sent in, and boxes of gold coins were brought out. The redemption is over, but things are not over yet.

The most important public destruction work has not yet started, and the bishop of Montesson, who personally took the initiative, is staring at the actions of the Alpha people.

Did not disappoint him, sorted out the packaged bonds, and was dragged to Lutetia Square for public destruction.

In order to ensure that there were no problems, Bishop Montesson personally stepped forward to check before lighting the fire. All of them were sent in just now, and there were magic marks left by him himself on them.

Looking at the raging fire, Lord Montesun showed a happy smile. This time there will be no problem.

The assistant on the side had already taken out the Flowing Shadow Stone and recorded this historic scene.

No more tonight, no need to wait
