For Ike, Rhodes is an old friend.

This old friend brought life and hope to Zuan, helping him fulfill a dream he had dreamed of for years—but while Ike expressed his gratitude with gratitude, Rhodes turned to ...... Start asking for money.

That's right, ask for money.

Facing the excited Ike, Rod said directly, "I'm going to make a big news, but I'm a little tight, according to our agreement, help me take out the part of the tax revenue that I withheld first."

Ike was dumbfounded.

Poison bar......

The reunion of good old friends suddenly turned into a large-scale debt collection scene, and the key is that Ike really promised Rod "to save no less than 5% of the tax as Rhodes's remuneration without affecting Zuan's economic health".

Originally, Ike thought that this was the insurance that Rod added to Zuan because he was not worried about himself, but now it seems that it is ...... This product is originally coming for money!

Rod's image in Ike's heart collapsed in an instant.

But Rhodes himself didn't care about it - when it came to his love for Zaun, he was less than a tenth of Ike's, and strictly speaking, Rhodes was the biggest speculator in the entire Zaun Revolution.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Ike could only get up and leave for the time being, and he didn't know where to get a check.

"Alas...... The cashed check from the Picheng Bank contained hundreds of thousands of gold hexes—not much money for the newly rebuilt Zaun. ”

Rod happily took the check—he deserved it, and he was at ease.

In a sense, what Rhodes did was just "exchange his political capital in Zaun for Jin Hex", which is really commonplace.

But in Ike's view, Rod's choice is actually no different from betrayal - it was you who carefully planned it and raised your arms; Now you are also retiring after success and taking away the payment, it seems that you are taking people's money and people to eliminate disasters, but the matter of the Twin Cities Revolution, how can it be explained by a simple "mercenary" relationship?

Seeing Ike's entanglement, Rod could only shake his head and sigh.

"Don't think too much about it – for you, Zaun is everything, but for me, Valoran is still big." Patting Ike on the shoulder, Rod was also quite emotional, "By the way, I'm going to Demacia, do you have any souvenirs for me to bring?" ”

"Demacia?" Ike was a little surprised, "Zaun's trade share has been used up this year, if nothing else, there should be no more in Leather City, and if you go to Demacia, Golden Hex can't be spent - you have other ways to exchange Immortal Coins." ”

The Valorca is the official currency of Demacia, and its correct name is "Gold Demacia", and because the reverse of the Demacian gold coin is engraved with the image of the hero of Demacia and has different denominations, the non-Demacian always call it the Valhallic coin.

“……”

Rod blinked, confused.

Trade had never been on Rod's radar, so he didn't know what Ike meant by "trade share" - when he heard this, it seemed that if he wanted to go to Demacia, it would be difficult to exchange enough Immortal Coins?

Seeing that Rod didn't understand what he meant, Ike could only take a breath, and then carefully explained to Rod about the peculiarities of Demacia's trade.

……………………

Demacia is a country that is conservative, xenophobic, and traditional.

Thanks to their vast territory and fertile land, the Demacians have retained an almost closed and self-sufficient agrarian society.

That's right, Demacia has very strict trade controls on imports and exports.

Demacia is located in the western part of Valoran, with the sea to the south and west, but the west coast is the Giant Peak mountain range, which makes it impossible to establish a port, so maritime trade has to rely on a few deep-water ports on the south coast.

For example, White Cliff City.

However, in order to protect the domestic economy, Demacia has always strictly controlled the import and export trade, and has set a strict trade share for all Valoran countries.

The trade share refers to "the number of merchant groups that carry local official approvals that allow them to exchange a certain amount of local currency for a certain amount of Demacia gold coins", and when they leave Demacia, they must also exchange all the Immortal Coins they have sold in Demacia back to their original currency, along with the principal—of course, if you have bought all the goods in Demacia and have no money to exchange them, forget it.

For example, if a Zaun merchant gets Zaun's share of the trade, he can use his 10,000 gold hexes to exchange for 10,000 gold Heroic Coins with Zuan's certificate, and then enter Demacia.

After that, the Zaun merchant could enter Demacia to do business, and he sold the Hexes he brought with him to get 20,000 gold Heroic Spirit Coins, at which point he had two options.

Either exchange a total of 30,000 gold spirit coins for gold hex, and then go back to Zu'an directly; Either buy all the 30,000 gold Heroic Spirit coins for Demacia's grain and transport them back to Zu'an to make another profit.

If you were a businessman, you would choose the latter—and for this reason, Demacia has maintained a huge trade surplus in this way.

It's the end of the year, and Zaun's share of trade has been used up - those who don't have a share of trade are not allowed to sell items when they enter Demacia, and they can't exchange them for Immortal Coins.

Rod was a little dumbfounded.

"Oh, if nothing else, Leather City's share is gone this year." Ike, who silently made up for it, said that he was in a happy mood, "I will go to a groundbreaking ceremony in a while, so I won't accompany you - see you next time I have a chance." ”
