The second institution that purchased air rifles in large quantities was the "armed forces" in towns and cities throughout the Far East. As the name suggests, the Ministry of Armed Forces is the logistics steward of the town militia and police. The Ministry of Armed Forces has a special grant from the town government, which can only be used to buy militia and police equipment, and it makes sense to spend this money on the "Wind Gun".

Orders from village foundations and town armed forces, accounting for six to seven percent of the total orders, are undoubtedly large customers.

How will Roland respond to the gun purchase requests of these two large customers?

Waiting for Tonya to rush back from the central bank with a thick stack of files, the corners of Roland's lips rose slightly after reading it.

"Roland, what the hell did you think of again?" Lyudmila knew her boyfriend too well that when she saw him smirk, she guessed that he was using his brains.

"Actually, there's nothing new, it's still the same old way as when I pre-sold the magic guide radio last time." Roland said casually.

According to the information brought back by Tonya, Roland confirmed that the "Village Public Fund" and the "town governments at all levels" were the big creditors of the Kolas government.

This sounds a bit strange at first. How is it that both the village and town governments are subordinate organs of the central government, and in turn they become creditors of the central government?

In fact, it is not surprising at all that some of the treasury bonds issued by the government of the Far East are sold abroad, which is called "foreign debt", and some of them are digested domestically, that is, "domestic debt", and the individuals and institutions that buy treasury bonds are creditors of the government of their own country.

In the four years since the founding of the Far East, not only has the central government's fiscal revenue increased year by year, but the towns, towns, and rural communes of all sizes have also shared the dividends of rapid economic growth, and the fiscal surplus has been quite considerable.

In fact, fiscal surpluses are not a good thing, and governments at all levels have money in their hands, and they are uncomfortable if they don't try to spend it. Is there a bank to eat interest? Compared with the fixed deposit interest, the yield is higher when buying treasury bonds.

In this way, the fiscal surpluses of governments at all levels were transferred to the central bank and exchanged for treasury bills, thus becoming creditors of the central government.

Although "domestic debt" is easy to discuss, it is not the same thing to always owe it. In particular, governments at all levels still hold a large number of government bonds issued before 1623, which are one percentage point lower than the interest rate of the first treasury bond in 1620, but from the current perspective, the annual interest rate of 5% is too high.

Roland has long wanted to recover these high-interest government bonds, but the treasurers of all levels of government are treacherous, and he has not been able to get it. Now is a rare opportunity. The previous policy of preferential exchange of treasury bonds for magic guide radios had a very good effect, so His Royal Highness the prince designed a plan of "preferential exchange of treasury bonds for air rifles", which simply means that the treasury bills issued in 1622 and before were exchanged for "wind guns" and enjoyed the privilege of priority delivery. Commune funds and town governments hold large amounts of these bonds, and Roland believes they are mostly willing to sell them because of their priority in buying the "Spear of the Wind".

Of course, this scheme is only valid for "domestic debt". New military products such as the "Wind Lance" are related to the national defense and security of the Far East, and Roland does not plan to export them to the outside world for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, at the beginning of July, from morning to night, you can see the magic train with military flags departing from Icewind Dale and heading for various parts of the Far East. Boxes of brand-new "wind guns" were delivered to towns and cities, and then escorted by armed police to the village communes below, where they were distributed to the long-awaited militia.

The summer of 1624 in the Far East was undoubtedly a season to be remembered by all "gun fans". The regular army and the militia organization are almost synchronously equipped with the "wind gun", and the inscription on the gun is blessed by the goddess to protect the self-reliant people, and it is also accompanied by the non-stop crackling of gunfire from morning to night on the shooting range and hunting ground deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, first becoming a popular fashion, and then becoming a symbol of the country and the nation, and eventually will become a common memory symbol of the people, becoming the epitome of this passionate era.

Roland's "Treasury Bond Exchange for Wind Guns" program was progressing smoothly, and while he was busy selling air rifles in one hand and collecting treasury bills in the other, he suddenly received a letter from Medes on the morning of 14 July, and his peaceful and busy life made waves.

The sender was Colossazion, the crown prince of Canaan and governor of Medes, and in addition to the usual greetings from friends, the main purpose of the letter was to ask Roland if he could spare two weeks to a month of free time to travel with him to the New World, and by the way, to check whether the operation of the Jotunheim Mining Company in the Assanid Empire was really as prosperous as Prince Frank boasted.

Roland knew that Corofer had also invested in the gold banknotes issued by the Assanian Empire, and most of them were also interested in speculative arbitrage. The "gold banknote" is essentially the corporate debt of the Imperial Jotunheim Mining Company, and now that the price of gold money is so high, the bubble is expanding rapidly, and the risk of collapse may come at any time, the implication revealed by Colossa in the letter is very clear that he is uneasy about the sharp expansion of the price of gold banknotes, and is worried that the actual business situation of the Jotunheim Company is not as good as Frank boasts, and if something goes wrong with the company, the gold money will also be affected by the casualty and the price will plummet.

In fact, it was not only Grofa who was worried about the excessive speculation of the Imperial gold banknotes, but Roland himself was a little frightened when he thought about it, and it was necessary to go to the New World to find out the bottom and find out the business situation of the Jotunheim Company. It's a pity that he is now busy selling the "Spear of the Wind", and the cabinet, the central bank, and the cloud network also have tons of work, and he really can't leave to cross the ocean in person.

After some consideration, Roland approached Katya and asked the vice president if she would like to accompany a super beautiful man to the New World for a wonderful vacation.

Katya stared at him with a strange look, and after a few seconds of silence, she suddenly reached over and pinched his face.

"It doesn't seem to be my delusion, your skin has really become thicker."

"Please! Super beautiful man is not me boasting, I'm talking about Colossa! Roland couldn't laugh or cry.

"Oh, it turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince of Canaan, who was originally a good guy, but unfortunately he made a bad friend by mistake, and he became a little unreliable due to your bad influence." Katya shook her head and sighed, "His Royal Highness Goropha's beloved wife is about to give birth, and you asked an unmarried girl to travel with him...... If this is spread and publicized as a scandal by tabloid reporters, it will not only destroy the happiness of other people's families, but also damage my reputation, how will I marry in the future? What's more, I've been very busy lately, and I really can't spare time, so you might as well ask for another master! ”
