Chapter 267: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
Everyone in the private room was looking forward to the Jin Yuan Empire that Lan Xian'er said, but they knew in their hearts that this road would be full of difficulties and dangers, and they could already imagine the obstacles on this road, and all things would involve an intricate network of forces and interests, so the huge Jin Yuan Empire must be supported by a strong military force, but these military forces themselves are only a deterrent, and all contradictions and obstructions cannot be solved by force, because one of the purposes of establishing the Jin Yuan Empire is to eliminate war, So it can't ingest too many military elements in itself! How to use the two cards of military coercion and interest temptation to slowly advance this matter is indeed nerve-wracking.
"Daniel, Nicole, with the support of the two of you, I'm much more relieved!" Lan Xian'er couldn't hide her excitement, and then she was worried, and continued, "But after all, this war can't be completed overnight, and we will have to pay a lot!" Now that this matter is decided, let's study how to carry it out together. I'm more worried about how the gold coins in Madeya City will be shipped out now! Sosa, how did the money come in at that time? ”
Sousa said: "Half of this money was escorted by warship from the sea to the river port of the city of Madya, and the gold coins were mixed in the goods, and they were brought directly to the freight yard near the bank, and then quietly transported to the vault in batches; The other half is Denilson's demand that the thieves' guild in Madeya pay us directly! ”
"If we want to use this money now, how can we ship it out?" Lan Xian'er asked.
"How much?" Sosa asked in surprise.
"The first batch will be at least 20 million!" Lan Xian'er said.
"Twenty million?" Sosa shook her head in surprise, "When the money bank was established, it was still under the rule of Cross, and the money bank gave the royal family thirty percent of the profits every month!" And when the money was brought in, the Forest Country was not as chaotic as it is now. Later, Auguston had just ascended the throne, and in order to gain the support of all parties, he did a more restrained job! After the operation of the money village in the forest country for a period of time, it attracted the attention of all parties, and Auguststone also discovered this cash cow, as the forest civil strife began, the profit of the money village declined, and Augustine gradually received fewer gold coins every month, but he knew that the money bank's vault must have a lot of gold coin inventory, so in the name of protecting the money bank, more than a dozen guards were stationed to monitor the actions of the money bank, and it was almost time to search the vault. There are tens of millions of gold coins in the vault, and we are also worried every day! So, now it's too difficult to ship out 20 million at once! If there is less, we can slowly find a way to ship it out little by little. ”
"At that time, we didn't expect it to be so difficult, and now we don't expect to use money so urgently!" Lan Xian'er said, "How far is the nearest freight yard from Qian Zhuang?" ”
"More than three hundred meters!" Sosa said.
Lan Xian'er continued to ask: "If you dig a tunnel to connect the freight yard with the underground vault, and move the gold coins to the freight yard, is there a way to transport them out of the city from the freight yard?" ”
"There's too much money!" Sosa shook his head and said, "Even if it is our money bank, every amount of money that can enter and leave the city will not exceed one million gold coins, how can it be possible to transport 20 million out of the city at one time?" The lady wanted to go out of the city in the name of camouflage city goods, but now the city gate inspection is very strict, and it is impossible to check whether the carriage is loaded with gold coins or goods. ”
"In other words, apart from the city gate, the circulation of goods in the city will not attract much attention?" Lan Xian'er asked.
Sosa said, "Yes! Auguston is now facing against the two armies of the anti-king forces, although he has strict control over the city of Madea, but it is only for the entry and exit of the city, and he does not have the energy and ability to be too distracted by the control of the city of Madea! If Madame has to ship, the only hope is the port. The Senas River runs through the entire city of Maderia, and only this waterway does not leave the city by water, but the inspection of the port is as strict as the city gate, 20 million gold coins, weighing nearly dozens of tons, and it is also difficult to get out of the port. ”
"Hmph, that's just a strict inspection of cargo ships, you help me rent a passenger ship in the port, I want to use a passenger ship to transport!" Lan Xian'er said.
"Passenger ship?" Sosa was surprised and asked, "The cargo ship can't carry anything at all, and with supplies, the largest passenger ship can carry dozens of passengers!" ”
"I can't care so much!" Lan Xian'er said, "In addition to the passenger ship, then you can help me contact a few merchants in Fuxing City, if you want to be trustworthy, I will meet them in person!" ”
"Yes, ma'am!" Sosa agreed.
……
"Pantony, how many of your people have entered the city?" At the freight yard near Qianzhuang, Lan Xian'er had a meeting with Pantony.
"The city gate is too strictly censored, we came in as a caravan, and only more than seventy people came in!" "The city of Madeia has strict restrictions on the entry and exit of us dwarves, and unless there is an employer, you are not eligible to enter or leave the city of Maderia!" ”
"We've rented all of this yard!" Lan Xian'er said, "This place is more than 300 meters away from the underground vault of Qian Zhuang, aren't you a mining maniac?" Well, I'll give you five days to dig through these two passages. ”
"Five days?" "It's not a big problem, but where is the earthwork going?" ”
Lan Xian'er smiled: "There are empty cargo holds here, you can pile them up!" ”
"Three days, three days, I'll dig it for you!"
……
In the midst of a civil war in the forest country, the city of Madeya is naturally the focal point, and although the war has not yet reached the area, it has also had a huge impact on the caravan here. Many merchants took advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of war profits, and more merchants, struggling to move forward, have evacuated this seemingly peaceful but in fact dangerous city.
Sosa found a total of four merchants in Fuxing City and rented four passenger ships from Madeya City. According to Lan Xian'er's deployment, these merchants will take their families and all evacuate Madeya City by boat.
The evacuation of the merchants is not uncommon in the city of Maderia, and most of them are evacuated by water, so they do not attract too much attention. The four merchants were evacuated with their families, and together with their family shop employees, there were twenty or thirty people in each family, and all of them rented carts and horses and dwarves from the freight yard near Qianzhuang to carry their luggage.
Early in the morning, more than 70 dwarves and more than 70 carriages arrived at the four merchants from the freight yard. Of the more than seventy carriages, half of them were empty, and the other half were pulling 20 million gold coins, and the other half was loaded with luggage when they arrived at the homes of the four patrons.
Pantony, with the dwarves, drove the carriage to the port of the Seines. Since the carriages could not be boarded, all the luggage on the ships had to be carried up by manpower, and Pantony unloaded all the luggage on the carriages in the warehouse of the port, and relied on the dwarves to carry them to the four ships one by one.
All luggage on board the ship needs to be strictly checked by customs to avoid carrying prohibited items, so the dwarves of Pantony cannot carry gold coins directly to the ship, but take advantage of the unique advantage of the dwarves - small vaults.
All dwarves have their own small vaults, and each dwarve's small vault can carry 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins with them, so Pan Dong, while carrying the luggage through more than 70 dwarves, let the dwarves carry the gold coins in the warehouse to the ship, and then unload the gold coins in the cabin room, and carry them many times, and secretly load all the 20 million gold coins onto the four ships. The dwarven coffers are well known in the forest country and certainly do not attract the attention of customs scrutiny.
It was busy from morning to mid-afternoon that the dwarves fully loaded all their luggage and gold coins onto the ship.
Looking at the sails of the four passenger ships in the distance, Lan Xian'er asked Pan Dongny, "Are all arrangements on the way?" ”
Pantony smiled: "Set sail now, before dark, the fleet can only reach the port of Cruz, which is more than a hundred kilometers away, and they can only dock there for the night, and my men will hijack ships there!" Port Cruz is less than 300 kilometers away from the Marison base camp, and a thousand dwarven warriors can transport all the gold coins to Marishen at once! ”
Daniel said with a smile: "I can't imagine that my gold coins need to be transferred by such means!" It's ridiculous to dig tunnels to steal money from your own vault, then secretly transfer to a passenger ship, and finally rob your own passenger ship, hahaha! ”
Nicole said worriedly: "Although it is said that extraordinary methods should be practiced in extraordinary times, but after all, it is too risky to do so, and a little negligence will not only take 50 million gold coins, but also the money bank, as well as Fuxing City, but it is really discredited and its reputation has been greatly reduced!" For Benjamin, we really fought hard! ”
Lan Xian'er said embarrassedly, "Of course I know about adventures!" But we can't just watch Benjamin get stuck and ignore it! In fact, in my heart, the Jin Yuan Empire and Fuxing City are as important as Benjamin's restoration! Whether Benjamin's restoration is successful or not will not affect the progress of the Jin Yuan Empire too much, at most it will be delayed for some time and add some difficulties! So, General Pantony, please tell His Majesty Benjamin that Fuxing City is a neutral city, and this time we have violated the principle of neutrality, what does the risk and cost of Fuxing City mean. There will be no next time, this will be the last time Fuxing City will be involved in a war! Fuxing City will not participate in any form of war in the future, but the money system can serve all forces, but it needs to be carried out in the form of transactions, and Fuxing City will judge whether it is worth investing in according to the needs of the situation. From now on, except for the forces of Arad, the services of all forces will be equal, which means that if Auguston needs financial assistance with the city, we will also cooperate with the situation! Benjamin's military cooperation with Higg was through the Fifth Legion, which we have never denied, and the Fifth Legion will certainly do its best to assist His Majesty Benjamin militarily! ”
Pantoni smiled: "Madam, what you said, I can't understand! The Fifth Legion and Renaissance City are both owned by Higg, so what's the difference? Renaissance City is subordinate to Aracia, and so is the Fifth Legion, so what's the difference? ”
Lan Xian'er said: "Please know to Your Majesty Benjamin that although the Fifth Legion and Fuxing Cheng are in charge of Higg, the Fifth Legion and Fuxing Cheng are two different concepts, even if the Fifth Legion needs Fuxing City's assistance again, it will no longer be free assistance, and the two will be divided into each other!" If General Pantony can't understand it, please tell His Majesty Benjamin what he said, and if he can't understand it either, don't talk about any bottom-up recovery plan! ”
