When he saw Horn, Rollin almost didn't recognize him, he hadn't seen him for a year, he had become much richer, wearing a fine black silk robe, and the whole person seemed to be fat, just like a landlord and an old man.

"Oh, my friend, you're fat." Rollin laughed.

"It's not that I'm fat, it's strong, I've been practicing martial arts, how can I get fat?" Horn squinted and smiled, looking Rollin up and down, "You are more majestic than before." ”

Now Luo Lin is wearing a black leather robe, his body is getting stronger and stronger, and he seems to have grown a little taller, looking tall and mighty. He looks casual, but as long as he looks closely, he can find a lot of extraordinary, the robe on his body, the style is very simple, but it is made of fine leather, not a good thing that nobles can't buy, hair and beard, it looks casual, but casual and not sloppy, obviously there is someone to take care of it carefully. There is also a ring on his left hand, the ring body flashes with fine silver light, it looks like it is made of mythril, such a ring is at least three hundred gold coins, it is a family heraldic ring, and non-nobles cannot wear it.

There is also the temperament of Luo Lin, which is much more graceful than a year ago, standing in the crowd, others can recognize him at a glance as a lord, and there is no doubt that he is also a big lord.

Luo Lin smiled: "You are the chief manager here, you have to treat me well this time." But I'm sneaking here this time, so don't make a big deal. ”

For example, now, Horn is the only person who comes to receive him, and he doesn't even bring a servant, so it's really that Luo Lin, the Maple Leaf Earl, is a little sensitive to this place.

"I understand." Horn smiled: "Where to go first?" Shall I take you to the bedroom where you rest or to the council chamber? ”

"Council Chamber. Just the four of us, there are some things that need to be done immediately. Rollin said.

So, led by Horn, Vianna, Iona, and Rollin entered a room on the top floor of the castle. The room is not big, fifty square meters, divided into two rooms before and after, the secret room at the back, even the door is soundproof.

The four of them eventually reached the chamber.

There wasn't much in the secret room. A table, a few chairs, because it was a room on the top floor of the castle, all had a skylight, and a beam of light came down from the skylight and shone directly on the table.

After sitting down, Luo Lin bluntly stated the purpose of coming this time: "The orc king Solge went directly to the royal capital Fire Lion City to find me. Ask me to help get the orcs out of the south. I agreed, and prepared to go by land and sea, to the cape of the South China Sea, and ask the orc tribe to transport it to the Sapphire Islands. ”

Horn was shocked at first. Then he fell into deep thought, and after more than ten seconds, he said, "The undead put so much pressure on the orcs? ”

That's why Rollin only consulted with Horn, he was very sensible, and rarely let his judgment be swayed by emotion, such as now, of course, he hated orcs, but he could think about the big picture. That's easy to say. But few people in the whole of Fix Island can do it.

Rollin knew and trusted Horn and Vianna, and now Iona had been added. Although this frost dragon looks a little unreliable, it is actually due to her character, but like this, who has lived for three or four hundred years, her mind is very clear.

"Very big. The undead spread their power everywhere. Obviously, the Orcs of the Southern Hengduan Mountains are a very good target. Although the Hengduan Mountains are vast, they cannot withstand the undead casting a net to hunt down. I estimate. The orcs will hide for half a year at most, and there will be no way back. ”

"It's grim." Horn said, "I'll arrange the boat immediately." How much do you need? ”

"The more the merrier."

"Then you have to requisition merchant ships, if you requisition all the merchant ships that move in the port. There should be more than 100 ships, and with ironclad ships, they can transport 30,000 people at a time. "Horn was very aware of the situation on Fix Island, and with a little mental calculation, he got the result.

"Thirty thousand. Very good. Luo Lin nodded: "The tribe of the Orc King now has 70,000 people, of which more than 10,000 are newborn half-orcs. This doesn't take up space, that's 60,000 people. I originally expected to make three trips, but now it seems that the shape shì is much better. ”

The development of Fix Island exceeded his expectations, much to Lorraine's relief.

"But there's a catch." Horn frowned: "The current Fix Island relies on free trade to attract ship owners from all over the world, if you want to requisition ships, you have to compensate for their losses, a hundred big ships, the requisition period is at least two months, then the profit generated by each ship is at least five thousand gold coins, and we must at least compensate 80%, that is, forty thousand gold coins." It's hard to get the money out. ”

"Forty thousand? Not much, right? Rollin remembered that the wealth of the Primo family at the beginning was millions of gold coins, and although it was given to Archduke Lehman, it would not be used up in a year.

Horn smiled wryly.

Vianna on the side explained: "Horn has scattered nearly two million gold coins in more than a year according to your ideas. For example, this castle cost a million gold coins, and of course, the effect is also very obvious. After the castle was built, the entire marina flourished. ”

Horn also spread his hands: "The current financial situation is barely maintaining a balance of payments. Commerce is thriving, and the daily flow of gold coins is very large, but if you want to take cash money, it is only 20,000 at most, and if you do more, there will be many problems. ”

"You're spending money really fast." Rollin teased.

Iona on the side couldn't figure it out: "The situation is urgent, just requisition, what compensation will be given?" Aren't you lords? ”

Iona's words represent the general rules of the continent, but in peacetime, if it is wartime, the authority of the army will swell to the limit, and any wealth of the people can be directly requisitioned. As for compensation, it would be merciful to return it afterwards, and you would have nothing to say if you didn't return it.

But those present, both Horn and Vianna were brainwashed by Rollin's statement, and before Rollin and Horn could refute it, Vianna directly despised it: "If you do this, the entire continent will soon become your barren far north." The more you are at the top, the more you have to restrain your own **, so that you can really rule for a long time, otherwise you will ruin it! ”

"I don't understand you." Iona was dismissive.

The three ignored him and continued their discussion. Luo Lin said: "Maybe you can go to the private rich to borrow money, you can promise to return it with interest in the future, and give them some business privileges, such as tax cuts or something?" ”

If Rollin had the money. He just got out, the problem is that his pocket is also empty, and the Earl's Court has more than 10,000 gold coins, which is to provide daily expenses and maintain the pomp and circumstance of the Earl's Palace. This represents the majesty of the lord and cannot be reduced at will.

And Rollin's method, in other words, is to issue national debt.

"It's a good idea, but it's a little unseemly." Horn smacked his lips and came to this conclusion.

"As long as it works. Decent or something. More on that later. Rollin said.

Iona on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, looking at these two shabby, they had to borrow money for these tens of thousands of gold coins to survive, is this still a lord? It's a shame.

"Since you want to borrow, don't look for someone else. Just look for me. How much do you want, I'm out! Iona boldly threw her magic package onto the table.

"Can I take a look?" Rollin asked.

"Whatever you want." Iona was arrogant and upstart.

Luo Lin took it and took a look, and saw a mountain of gold inside, a large pile ten meters high, so bright that it almost brightened the eyes of a blind man.

"How can there be so many?" This is only a lot more than the wealth of the Primmore family, it is said that the Primmore family is the richest in the world, and the biggest rich man is in the far north!

"She's a miser, more than a hundred years ago. She discovered a gold-producing island in the heart of the Far North, which she had been digging for fifty years. Vianna said, she knew this. Because for a certain time, Iona always flaunted her wealth.

Horn also took the magic package and looked at it, and then he was stunned, and then it was heartache, how much power can be mobilized with such a large amount of gold coins, if this money is injected into Fix Island. Let him call freely, and he will definitely be able to quickly recreate the glory of Vendôme.

Now this money is piled up here. Moving from a mine on an island to a dragon's magic package is as if it had never been mined. What a waste, a huge waste!

Rollin had already spoken: "Can you take them all?" ”

"The beauty of thought!" Iona snatched the magic package, and she learned quickly: "If you want to get money from here, you have to open an IOU, you have to give me privileges......"

She suddenly stopped, stunned, and then seemed to be enlightened: "Haha, I suddenly thought of a good idea, I will borrow money in the future, and then collect interest, and use this money to make money for me." Oh my God, what a great idea, how could I not have thought of it before? ”

The more she spoke, the brighter Iona's eyes became, as if she had found a wonderful toy.

"Isn't this just loan sharking, I thought you had a good idea." Vianna smacked her.

Rollin and Horn looked at each other, and they both felt a little surprised. Whatever you do, as long as you can get the money out of Iona's package.

Horn immediately said, "With such a large sum of money from you, it must be very troublesome to take care of." I can find you a large number of clerks, professionally trained, and I think they will be able to keep this great fortune for you. ”

Luo Lin thought more, and he said, "Iona, you have so many gold coins as a guarantee, I have a good idea, do you listen to it?" ”

"You say." Iona clutched her magic wrap tightly, and she saw a greedy green glow in the eyes of Rollin and Horn, who must have been playing with the idea of her gold in their heads.

Luo Lin sorted out his thoughts: "I think you can make a name and open a vault, such as a dragon vault." Ask the merchants to deposit the excess money with you, and then you give someone a voucher, and when they want to use it, they come to you with the voucher, and you give him the money, and at the same time charge a small amount of the coin as a storage fee. ”

"Is that okay?" Iona's eyes widened, and she realized that this method was very good to make money, she didn't have to pay anything, she just collected money at home.

"Absolutely. A few gold coins are fine. But a thousand, 10,000 gold coins is a lot of weight, not everyone is willing to buy thousands of gold coins to buy magic packages, and many magic packages are of poor quality and break if you are not careful. If there is no way, who wants to run around with such a large piece of metal, and bear the risk of being robbed in the middle? ”

Speaking of this, Iona completely understood, and she smiled: "I have to say, Lorraine, you are not only a warrior, but also a profiteer!" ”

Luo Lin smiled: "In fact, these methods have been made again by private businessmen, but the scale is not large and not widely spread, but the methods are really good." ”

"Well, my first business was to lend 30,000 gold coins to the Primo family. Horn, you quickly get me the clerk in place, I'm going to get the credentials. Well, I'll put my magic mark on the credentials and see who dares to forge them! ”

Come on, I really don't see that this frost dragon is still a business genius. As soon as several people discussed this, they came up with a most primitive bank.

After that, the four discussed the details of the requisition of merchant ships, and then Horn went to work. (To be continued)
