Chapter 149: Blockade Conspiracy
Nicole hurried home from the Magic Guild portal the next day, and everyone in Fuxing City began to prepare for the pawnshop and money bank plan with all their might.
But this is no longer something that Higg can care about, with Lan Xian'er helping, he is more worried about the war that has been ignited in various places, Arad will not have any countermeasures against the Fifth Legion, and he has not gotten any news in Fuxing City, he is now desperate to return to the front line and consume Arad's strength as soon as possible, after all, Arad has occupied too many places, if there is a long-term confrontation, it will not be of much benefit to King Qin's camp.
But Higg can't just care about the front line, ignoring Fuxing City, just a few months after he came back, he made a few big things that caused a sensation in the city, such as the statue of the god of war and the pawnshop money model, and left, which would snub everyone's enthusiasm.
The city lord of Hig didn't have any big things to do in the city, but Lan Xian'er threw out two business models for her. In order to speed up the operation of these two business models, Lan Xian'er has organized a crash course, organizing a group of relevant officials and experienced investors who are in charge of the city's economy to participate in the organization to learn these two business models. Lan Xian'er herself only has theoretical conceptual opinions on these two business models, so from preparing for classes to answering questions, Lan Xian'er is physically and mentally exhausted and miserable. But she knows that this is the most basic team of the two business models of pawnshops and money villages, whether it is the operation or the establishment of the business school of Fuxing City in the future, these people are the backbone of the force, and Lan Xian'er can only teach his business philosophy to everyone, and really want to practice the operation, but also rely on these people to do it, and then explore the experience in the operation process, and summarize a set of systematic economic theories on the basis of practical experience.
No one knows this truth, but the situation is stronger than people, and market demand is king! Lan Xian'er believes that even if there are some flaws in the process of opening these two modes and taking some detours, it will not affect the overall development too much.
But ten days later, Higg received an urgent report from the flying pigeon in the Silent Forest, and when he opened it, he saw that it was Montgosser's report forwarded by Benjamin, and asked Higg to return to the base camp of the Fifth Army immediately, and Arad had begun to make a move!
……
Before leaving Fuxing City, Higg held a final meeting and made final arrangements for Fuxing City.
"Denelson, I regret it!" Higg said, "I want 20 million gold coins, and now Montgosa's Fifth Legion is *annoying!" So, in addition to the 10 million you promised me, within a month, you have to raise another 10 million for me! ”
"It won't take a month, I can give it to you now!" Denilson said.
Nicole asked curiously, "Where do you still have the money?" Didn't you say that the money was not used to invest in pawnshops and banks? ”
"Captain don't worry, I won't use the money invested!" "The donation for the statue of the god of war is now 30 million, which is the largest budget we expect to use, but the fundraising has not stopped, and the project will take a year, and it won't take that much in a while, so I'll make up for it then!" ”
Charlie was surprised and said, "You want to embezzle the special money for the statue of the god of war?" If those donors know about it, will Renaissance City still have credibility? I'm afraid I can't hide such a big thing! ”
No one answered, Higg thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing you can't do, since you want to embezzle, you don't have to hide it." Didn't Lan Xian'er say that my personal credit can take out a loan of 10 million? Denilson, announced all the fundraising funds and even the details, carved them into a stone tablet, stood next to the statue of the god of war, and publicly explained the purpose of the money, of which 10 million gold coins were temporarily borrowed by the city lord of Fuxing City, and after half a year, according to the interest of the money bank, it was returned with interest! ”
"Is that okay?" The crowd chattered in amazement.
"There's nothing you can't do!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "Not only that, but there are many benefits to doing this!" First, the identity of the public fundraiser and the amount of donations are likely to cause many donors to make additional donations, and people want to save face; Second, set a real benchmark for the future money bank, and tell everyone that money can be spent in advance, just to pay some interest; Thirdly, the Fuxing City and the Lord of the City can establish a good reputation by being open and honest, which is what the money bank needs most; Fourth, I hope that if there is a surplus in the donation for the statue of the god of war, it will be used for public facilities, bridges, roads, free parks, and free entertainment venues, and I want to tell everyone that their money has not been misappropriated by the people of Fuxing City. At this point, the city lord needs to nod! ”
Higg laughed, "Do I still need to nod?" As far as you are shrewd, is it not the same to build public facilities that is used by the people of Fuxing City? It's just nice to say, what do I disagree with? ”
Daniel, who rarely attended such a meeting, said with a smile: "On behalf of the Magic Guild, I will first add a part of the donation, two hundred newly graduated magicians!" ”
Higg said angrily, "What does the magician need to do to build the statue of the god of war? If you want to send me a magician, can't you just send it? Do you want me to borrow a hundred magicians from the special funds of the statue of the god of war? ”
Daniel smiled: "Lord of the city, whether to borrow or not, that's your business, I also want to show my name on the stone tablet!" Lord Castle, where did the newly graduated apprentices come from in the newly built magic guild in Fuxing City? ”
"It turned out to be these stingy guys from Rainbow Island!" Higg smiled, "Denilson, this donation is meaningless to us for the construction of the God of War statue, if we don't accept it, we will say that it was confiscated by the city lord of Revival City, and let them donate some other things, such as treasures or something!" ”
"You—" Daniel's face flushed with anger.
"Lord Castle, is this okay?" Denelson asked, confused.
"Yes!"
……
The next day, Higg was about to set off, not at the Silent Forest, but at Bobohua, the capital of Orlando Province, the base camp of the Fifth Legion. In addition to Higg and Blue Fairy, there were also Snorlin and Noah, as well as two hundred magicians led by Daniel. But the time and way of departure are not the same, Higg and Blue Fairy flew together on Thunder, because Blue Fairy's storage ring can only hold two hundred boxes of 10 million gold coins at a time, so Ray and Blue Fairy have to fly back again, and take it away with Snowlin! Daniel, Noah and two hundred magicians have to pass through the portal of the magic guild, teleport to the nearest magic guild, and then travel a long way to the base camp, the road is very dangerous, but now Higg's forces are divided into three areas, and there is no way to do it!
Returning to Bobo City, Hig and Blue Fairy immediately rushed to Montgosa's barracks overnight, and Montgosa was in front of the sand table of the barracks, his brows furrowed.
"Marshal!" Higg and Blue Fairy shouted at the same time.
Montgosa immediately smiled, looked at the two young men who had been separated for more than a year, and said, "Well, the men are more handsome and strong, and the women are more beautiful and refined, good!" ”
"The marshal is also very tough!" Higg smiled, "I see that Lord Marshal is still in front of the sand table so late, he must have encountered something * annoying!" ”
"Okay, I won't say hello to you!" Montgossar pointed to the various markings on the sand table and said, "200,000 in the 1st Theater, 200,000 in the 2nd Theater, 300,000 in the 4th Theater, and 300,000 in the Fourth Army, a total of 1 million troops, have begun to deploy around me!" ”
"How many troops does the marshal have now?" Higg asked as he drove on the sand table.
"Together with the more than 30,000 people in the Kuba Fortress, my total strength now is less than 400,000!" "Although the morale of the army is high and the combat experience is rich, the equipment is outdated and backward, and the materials are lacking. Although I have the heart to kill the enemy, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to heaven! ”
"It's not so easy to eat 400,000 for a million!" Higg smiled, "Marshal, what are your plans?" ”
"A million though it's hard to eat my four hundred thousand!" "But the difficulty is that they have replenished their troops and supplies, and we don't!" I can also see that they did not forcibly attack us directly, but blockade and encircle, slowly encroaching! Arad is not a fool, he will not be in a hurry to eat me in one bite, if he blocks me for a year or two, how can he support an army of 400,000 people with the province of Orlando, which has just been flooded. ”
Higg laughed, "We still have the Kuba Fortress!" Solve part of the materiel and military rations through foreign trade! ”
Montgosa laughed: "Young man, can you think that Arad would not think of it? At that time, Arad could use state diplomacy to strictly control the military supplies and rations of the Mizusawa and the barbarian countries. ”
"So take advantage of the moment to stock up on supplies!" Higg laughed, "Arad is leaking the news, and he will definitely not control the smuggling between the two countries now!" ”
"Even if Allad doesn't control smuggling, what can I use to exchange high-priced supplies and food from smugglers?" Montgosa said in frustration: "The Fifth Legion has long lost His Majesty's military support, and it is struggling! ”
"Marshal!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "We are here to solve the problem for the adults, and General Higg has long thought of the difficulties of the Fifth Legion. Even if the marshal contacts the smugglers, we will solve the problem of money, and buy food and materials at two or three times the price, if any merchant trades a certain amount of goods, then if this merchant does foreign trade with Fuxing City, he will have five times the amount of tax exemption. That's right, General Higg! ”
"Blue Fairy, you're trying to increase the hatred between Fuxing City and Arad for me!" Higg laughed, then turned to Montgosa and said, "Arad is sure that Lord has no money, and the control of materials must not be so strict, even if the control is strict, in the hands of those mercenary traders, who dares to say that there is no risk?" ”
"For an army of 400,000, the maintenance cost is generally 20 million a year, and in the event of a war, this amount will be increased several times!" Montgoser said, "The province of Orlando can solve 20 million of these funds by itself, and the shortfall is at least 20 million or 30 million, and if the supplies are smuggled in, it will be even more!" ”
"I'll pay the adults 10 million first, and let people come to my barracks tomorrow to pick it up!" "Ten million more will arrive in a few days!" Higg said. ”
"Where did you get all that money?" Montgosa asked in surprise, "Besides, how did you get the hundreds of boxes of gold coins?" ”
"Adults don't have to worry about this!" Higg said, "In addition, I also brought a super wizard to lead two hundred magicians, and I will report to the camp in half a month!" ”
Montgosa looked at Higg and Blue Fairy and didn't speak in surprise!
"Marshal?" Higg asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm waiting for you to finish!" Montgosa suddenly laughed, "No other good news?" ”
Higg breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Not for the time being!" I came back in too much of a hurry and didn't prepare that much! ”
"Come on, serve the wine!" Montgosa exclaimed happily, "Call the three commanders, Andrew, Gampoch, and Corincha!" ”
The soldiers came in with wine jars and put them in Montgosa's barracks, and were about to turn around and go out, but Lan Xian'er said, "Since today is a reunion, of course you must drink good wine!" Lord Marshal, these spirits in the army should be left for the soldiers to drink! I've got the wine ready! ”
Lan Xian'er said, pointing to the large conference table behind the sand table, only to see dozens of jars of Baixian fruit wine on it.
Montgosa was surprised and asked, "This is the Hundred Immortal Fruit Wine in your military newspaper?" ”
Xige said with a smile: "My lord, although this Hundred Immortal Fruit Wine is now operated by Blue Fairy, in the final analysis, that army is still the Marshal's, so this Hundred Immortal Fruit Wine is actually the industry of the Fifth Legion!" ”
Montgoser reached the main seat of the conference table, opened the jar and took a sip, and sighed, "Not bad! But although this wine is good, it is not necessarily suitable for the most suitable wine in the army. General Higg, you have successfully completed my strategic mission and helped me solve such a big problem, don't you have any intentions? Except for what you said about the relationship with the Fifth Legion, I'm afraid it's not that simple! I heard that you built some statue of the god of war in Fuxing City, which made the veterans of the Fifth Legion so excited that they almost left the barracks and went to you! ”
Higg was furious, and was just about to sit down, standing again, and immediately said: "Marshal Montgosa, I thought that you and I had the same idea, for the survival of the Fifth Legion, but I didn't expect you to have such a dirty idea!" Lan Xian'er, 20 million gold coins are still prepared for the marshal, and we can't help with other things! Let's go, this wine is gone! ”
After Higg finished speaking, he took Lan Xian'er's hand and was about to walk out of the barracks!
"Wait!" Montgosa laughed and said, "Why is your temper worse than that of an old man like me?" Hmph, if I don't ask that, don't you doubt for yourself if I have such thoughts? Since I ask this, I want to be open and honest with you, even if you have any requirements, I will try my best to meet them! If you sit in the position of my marshal, I will send you tens of millions without asking for it, do you believe it yourself? ”
Higg was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled: "It's me who is impatient!" Marshal Montgosa, since you have heard of Fuxing City, you should know that tens of millions of gold coins are nothing to me! I have only one request, that is, the Marshal's Fifth Legion will personally defeat Arad, and I will personally remove Arad's head to pay tribute to the souls of the Fifth Legion and the souls of my parents in heaven! ”
