“…… This year our carpentry mill has produced 120,000 barrels...... no, 180,000. There are 20,000 vats used in large breweries. To be able to supply 200,000 ...... to the market of the Quadripartite Alliance, it is 120,000 barrels of cherry shochu. At this point, the Chancellor of the Exchequer simply stopped, and he opened his small notebook to look at the recorded data. It is rare to have a preface and a remark in front of the emperor as it is today, and the Chancellor himself only feels a strong embarrassment.

The Emperor waited quietly for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to continue his preparations. The eunuch Horru spoke, "Your Majesty, do you want to do your best to catch the traitor?" ”

"Nope." The emperor said calmly.

Holru glanced at the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had just been immersed in the data, and saw that the Chancellor also raised his head and looked at the Emperor with burning eyes. Someone wanted to poison the emperor, and the Minister of the Interior, who was in charge of suppressing the traitors, was poisoned, and he needed to be treated in bed to save his life temporarily. Those traitors have seriously threatened the Eastern Roman court, and if the court does not intervene again, God knows what those traitors will do.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is necessary to give priority to the elimination of the traitors." The Chancellor of the Exchequer simply stated what he was most concerned about, and allowed these rebels to continue to cause trouble, and the safety of the ministers of the court could not be guaranteed.

Feeling the scorching gaze of the ministers, the Eastern Roman Emperor responded indifferently: "Don't be impatient. ”

The emperor's solemn and steady expression did not move the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The traitors are at large and are planning their next assassination. Who will be the next person to be assassinated? Could it be the Chancellor of the Exchequer himself? This is definitely not going to work!

"Your Majesty......" Chancellor of the Exchequer is preparing to try to persuade the emperor to go on a killing spree against the suspected traitors,

"I'll send troops to guard your homes." The Emperor spoke.

The ministers were stunned, not understanding what was going on. The emperor continued: "The Roman legions were loyal, don't worry about them. ”

The palace was quiet, and the ministers looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion. For hundreds of years, the Eastern Roman Empire relied on mercenaries to fight abroad, and the emperor was also guarded by mercenaries. In recent decades, the Eastern Roman Empire has been wiped out, and the imperial court has existed in name only. The Eastern Roman Emperor sent an army to protect the minister in only one sense, and the emperor wanted to put that minister to death.

The ministers did not think that the emperor was going to execute them. The emperor re-established the Eastern Roman court, and all the ministers were the pillars of the court, and to kill them was to destroy the court. As long as the emperor did not go mad, there was no such possibility. It's just that the imperial court was rebuilt less than ten years ago, and the impression left by the history of the past few hundred years will not dissipate overnight.

The eunuch Horru was the first to break the silence, "Thank you Your Majesty for sending the guards, the minister will be much more relieved." ”

The other ministers hurriedly followed Shane. They all knew that the Roman legions in the garrison of Constantinople had a condition that the soldiers should not be associated with the nobility. Now all the traitors in Eastern Rome came from the aristocracy.

After everyone thanked the emperor, Horru said again: "Your Majesty, just tracking down these two cases, will you condone the traitors?" ”

"Arrest all the suspects, and what nobleman will not be arrested?" The emperor replied indifferently.

Hearing this, many ministers smiled, and even Horru couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was the situation facing the Eastern Roman court, and the emperor's efforts to restore the traditional system of centralized power in Eastern Rome had pushed all the nobility to the opposite side. Even if these ministers were not clear before, the process of serving the court for several years has become clear to them.

Without waiting for anyone to persuade him again, the emperor calmly continued: "The traitor has no ability to shake the court, but the debt will. We already owe seven million dollars to the Quadripartite Alliance's bank, and the recent war has consumed 10,000 barrels of cherry shochu this winter alone. If these wines are sold, they can save tens of thousands of guan. If you include military salaries, it is hundreds of thousands, or even one million. This money cannot be saved, and if the Serbs attack Thrace, we will not lose hundreds of thousands. God says patience is a virtue. This is God's teaching......"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer left the palace in a clear mood, and the Assassin matter could no longer shake his will, and the current situation in the Eastern Roman Empire did not allow the Chancellor to waver. At the Quadripartite branch in Constantinople, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, seeing the representative of the province of Europa, bluntly offered his opinion, "Is there a way to increase the volume of our exports this year?" ”

The representative of the Great Song Dynasty was stunned, and the minister would not have said this in the past. As an ancient civilization, they all have the characteristics of good face. Playing swollen and fat is a common feature of everyone. It's just that the Great Song Dynasty faced the crisis of annihilation, and the Zhao Guanjia made this clear and strictly forbade it. The new generation has received an education, and everyone has the heart to play this trick in the hellish place of Europa, so it's good to leave as soon as you earn money.

With puzzlement, the representative of Da Song tentatively asked: "I wonder if Your Excellency is ready to cooperate with us?" ”

"In the past, I was willing to agree to the joint construction of the cherry shochu factory, and the joint establishment of the soap factory can also be discussed." The minister replied decisively.

"Oh?" The representatives of the Great Song Dynasty were stunned, and these ministers of the Eastern Roman Empire had resolutely opposed the management of these industries controlled by the Great Song Dynasty, because the requirements of the Great Song Dynasty were fundamentally different from the traditional industrial model of the Eastern Roman Empire for handicraft production. How did it suddenly change.

"Your Excellency, are you in financial trouble?" The delegates were vigilant.

"Isn't seven million a problem?" The minister replied. His heart was full of courage at this time, but his face was still hot. Acknowledging the weakness of the empire made the vizier feel a strong sense of shame.

"Oh." The representative couldn't help but think about it. After the establishment of the Quadripartite Alliance, the control of Eastern Rome's foreign trade was in the hands of the emperor, and olive oil, cherry shochu, soap, and handicrafts were sold through the trade system of the Quadripartite Alliance in exchange for grain, weapons, iron, and horses. Using this wealth, the Eastern Roman Emperor rebuilt the imperial court and rebuilt the Roman legions.

When the upper echelons of Europa talked about it, they all lamented that money was really a good thing. The value of the 7 million Guan Quartet Alliance's banknotes is only about 2.7 million to 3.1 million Guan of the Great Song Dynasty. The Eastern Roman provinces exported more than 24 million goods annually. A few years of debt can rebuild the Eastern Roman Empire, and Eastern Rome is worthy of being an ancient civilization reborn after the catastrophe.

If the Eastern Roman Empire just wanted to pay it off, it was nothing to the province of Europa. It was promised that the province of Europa would manage the production of soap, olive oil, cherry shochu, etc., in Eastern Rome, and the money would be paid back immediately.

For an ancient civilization, this is not normal. Very abnormal.

After the deputies and the ministers finished talking, the deputies immediately wrote a letter. At the beginning of writing, the representative heart was a little confused, put down the pen, and lit a cigarette. Of the 7 million in arrears, 1 million were lent to the Eastern Roman Empire to exterminate the Serbian barbarians. The reason is simple: without exterminating the barbarians, the province of Europa will not dare to build a telegraph network covering the Quadripartite Alliance. With the telegraph network, communication becomes extremely smooth, which is good for everything.

Theoretically, this telegraph network could be built, but in practice there were huge risks. The Serbian barbarians could directly threaten northern Greece, and in the event of war, the Thracian region would also be affected.

The Thracian region is located south of the Balkan Mountains, north of the Aegean Sea, bordered by Bulgaria to the north, Macedonia to the west of northern Greece, the Black Sea to the east, and the Bosbrus Strait to the southeast. The Thracians had occupied Bulgaria since 3500 BC, and the Thracian kingdom, which had been defeated by the Romans, was divided into two states. It is the bridgehead of Greece on the border with Turkey and the countries of the Balkans, as well as the connecting point between Eurasia.

There is a saying that the origin of the Thracians was 'roaring', and for civilized countries, roaring on weekdays was a very barbaric act. The locals do. In the eyes of the Eastern Luo Empire, the Thracians were only a little more civilized than the Serbs. The province of Europa also shared the views of the Eastern Roman Empire.

The erection of telegraph lines in such places made the province of Europa unsettling. If the region were to be destabilized by war, the telegraph system, which had to rely closely on the state system, was not to be spared. In contrast to this sense of threat, if the Eastern Roman Empire was able to annihilate the Serbian barbarians, the bankers of the province of Europa were more than happy to lend one million yuan in money.

These questions made the representative of the province of Europa think carefully for a long time before he picked up his pen and continued to write with a frown. The letter was sent to Athens by cruise ship, and when the letter was received from the post office and began to be returned, Yang calmly opened the letter, and another five days passed.

At this time, Yang was tired of being in a mood, and he thought that someone was going to fix him, and after untying the knot, he cooperated with the money bank experts sent by the imperial court to solve the problem of the money bank in Europa Province. It is to maintain enough sincerity and pay a lot of patience. Yang reluctantly accepted the opinion of the court experts that the money bank in Europa Province was too unprofessional.

If he could choose to criticize, Yang would rather admit that there are bad people in the money bank in the province of Europa, rather than the lack of capacity of the money bank set up by competent people. Of course, the experts did not blindly deny it, and also admitted that the personnel of the Europa Province who led the money bank had a very good performance in political judgment.

The problem lies in the specific operation. The Great Song Dynasty has begun to have the concept of futures, which is a fully upgraded version of the 'Green Seedling Method'. Relying on the agricultural science and technology and agricultural science and technology departments, farming has a scientific system and corresponding implementation standards. For example, if a farmer who has already joined an agricultural cooperative wants to plant mulberry trees, he or she can apply for funding from the local agricultural department through the cooperative.

The audit process is that the farmer needs to explain in detail the characteristics of the place where he is located, the planting process, and the problems that he may encounter. After the review, the collaborator is also required to make a cooperative guarantee and determine the repayment period.

Knowing what you are doing and knowing what uncontrollable factors you may encounter, the success rate of the loan, which is not low, has gradually increased.
