Section 407 Pay back my hard-earned money
"I can't bear this tone no matter what, and the official bank must give us an explanation."
"That's it, let them pay!"
"Let them spit out all the hard-earned money that swallowed us before!"
"Someone has to be held accountable for this. If the official doesn't pay attention to it, let's go to the city lord, and the city lord doesn't care about it, so we go to Roaring City and ask to see Your Majesty. In short, this matter cannot be left alone, and must be compensated! β
When Chang Liang rushed in with the guards, Ah Heng had successfully stirred up everyone's emotions, and his anger reached its highest point.
"Arrest him!" Chang Liang's face turned pale, pointed at Ah Heng standing on the counter, and ordered in a low voice.
Armed guards couldn't squeeze in, and hundreds of merchants and their retinues formed a thick and dense wall of people that kept them out. What followed was a myriad of saliva and filthy spittle.
"Draft the wall, you dog mongrels who eat people and don't poop, give me back a lot of my money."
"There's no silver in this money! Does your conscience let the dog eat? I've worked hard to help your government do business for so many years, but I didn't expect that all the money you gave me all this time was fake. You guys...... Are you still human? β
"The money must be repaid! I have here two hundred pieces of silver, all from your officials. I don't want your money, I want money! β
"Not just silver coins, but gold coins. I can assure you that there is no gold in the coins we were given before. β
"The officials are liars! You bastards who have been raised by prostitutes since childhood, have mouths full of dentures, and you don't have a word of truth at all. β
The whole official line is in chaos. Chang Liang ran out to find the guards, only to find that they and a few other hundred people had gathered in front of a car full of Yamanashi, tasting sweet fruits. It was a merchant's shipment, and since he usually had a good relationship with some of them, he gave them some to taste. In line with the principle that if there is a advantage, you have to take advantage of it, these guys call friends, and more than 30 guards all gather here. Because of the distance from the official hall, and the sound insulation effect of the wall and the middle fence, no one noticed the abnormality in the official office.
"Leave the others alone. Rush in and catch him! Chang Liang pointed to Ah Heng who was standing in the distance and shouted angrily.
He saw the disdain and sneer that flew across Ah Heng's face.
Chang Liang swore that he had been in contact with Ah Heng many times before, and the other party had never made a similar move.
The merchants held back the guards as if Ah Heng were their leader and had to defend them with their blood and lives.
The human psyche is like this, when someone stands up for a group of people and stands on the moral heights of the crowd, it is easy to get support. Because of the common interest, the group of supporters needs such a benchmark, and he will never be allowed to be attacked by outside forces, let alone fall.
"What do you want to do?"
"You are not allowed to touch Ah Heng, he is our man."
"You damn dogs, pay back!"
The two sides were tense, and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
I didn't know who made the first move, but a businessman standing in the front row screamed and fell. He held his hands on his stomach, and through his bleeding fingers, he could see that there was a dagger stuck in it.
The direction of the wind suddenly changed drastically.
"The official is murdering!"
"You goddamn liars...... I'm fighting with you! β
"You deceive and kill...... No, they want to kill people, they want to kill all of us, no one knows about today. β
"Rush out, everyone must rush out, so that more people know the true face of the official line!"
The northern barbarians have always had the habit of carrying weapons with them. Especially for merchants who traveled from south to north, for their own safety, short swords and daggers became essential items for home travel.
All the guards were dressed in solid clothing, and the difference between merchants and officials was evident at a glance from their appearance. Seeing their own people struggling in pools of blood, the merchants' hearts were filled with fear. The screams continued, as if the alarm bell made them understand their environment in an instant.
We worked so hard in exchange for a bunch of fake money.
We didn't even have a chance to argue.
Now it's the tragic death of my companion, and the next thing may be me facing the repressive butcher's knife that comes at me.
"Yard, I'm fighting with you!" A fat merchant with a full beard and red eyes, roared and drew his short knife, and pounced on the guards opposite, and the two of them twisted together.
With a leader, there will be no shortage of successors.
The hall suddenly resounded with earth-shattering shouts of killing, mixed with the "clanging" of metal. The barbarians of the north are known for their bravery, and aside from military discipline, there is not much difference between civilians and soldiers. The merchants belonged to the wealthy class of the common people, they had plenty of food, rich nutritional intake, and their physical strength and height were equal to or even surpassed those of the guards...... Dozens of guards fought against the siege like this, and the red-eyed merchants had no extra thoughts in their minds, out of anger, out of the defense of their own interests, only blood could calm the anger in their hearts.
A few guards reacted sharply, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they quickly turned around and retreated out of the hall, and fled as fast as possible in the direction of the gate of the official bank, looking for rescuers.
Chang Liang's right hand holding the knife was cut off from Qi Qi's elbow, and he didn't even have time to scream when he felt like a dagger or something like a weapon in his flank. The cold, hard metal sensation was terrifying, stirring the internal organs and rolling in the body, and all the nerves in the body were concentrated in one point. At that moment, Changliang felt that he had lost all his physiological functions, as if he was a little incontinent, his tongue was stretched down his throat and downward, and the male symbol between his legs was dragged back into his body by some force. There was a kind of stiffness in his eyes that were torn, and he instinctively wanted to cry, but he couldn't shed tears.
Turning his head in a fatal direction, the last image in his eyes was the honest and honest Ah Heng.
ββ¦β¦ It's you? Chang Liang made a hoarse voice in pain and despair, and his brain quickly found the hidden truth in confusion: "...... Be...... It's you ......."
The two sentences are the same in content, but the meaning is diametrically opposed.
Chang Liang saw a sneer flash in Ah Heng's eyes. He was triumphant and arrogant, with undisguised contempt, and even more intense fervor after the triumph of the conspiracy.
Pulling out the dagger, Ah Heng raised his foot and stepped on Changliang's chest, and rushed out of the official office with the excited businessmen and walked onto the street.
There were more people out there than expected, and most of them were civilians who had been agitated. They don't understand why the currency, which is usually treasured like a treasure, is fake. But they knew the value of gold and silver, and that they were the only things that could be exchanged from the merchants for all the necessaries of life.
Something that even a businessman doesn't want, and a fart!
Pay it back!
Pay back my hard-earned money!
The slogan is simple and easy to understand.
Economics is very complex. Of course, in the eyes of those who have received systematic training and education, this set of theories is actually not profound, and the principle is very simple. However, the vast majority of civilians are illiterate, they do not understand what is called the "principle of financial leverage", and they do not want to know the real reason why silver coins are not minted in 100% pure silver, and why gold coins do not contain gold. They knew that the money in their hands could not be spent, and the merchants were not willing to accept it at all.
Someone has to be held accountable for this.
The hall of the official office became silent, and only blood and corpses were left everywhere.
A "corpse" lying on the edge of the battle suddenly moved. He quickly stood up, took off his blood-stained clothes three times and twice, and hurried out.
It was the merchant who was stabbed in the abdomen and fell first.
The dagger inserted into his belly was specially made, and the blade was very short, only ten centimeters.
He was wearing a soft armor close to his body, and the compartment between him and his clothes was a bubble of pig's urine with fangs, filled with blood.
Mixed with fresh pig blood with special mineral pigments and mixed with a certain proportion of water, pig blood can be kept liquefied for a long time without coagulation. The dagger is very careful when piercing clothes, as long as the force is controlled, it can achieve the perfect effect of puncturing the urine bubble and splashing blood.
The people of the Intelligence Department are not waste eating dry food.
Tianhao allocates a large amount of resources every year and trains carefully selected intelligence officers, so that the dragons have a strong advantage over other races in this regard.
A few years ago, the "water testing method" demonstrated in front of many businessmen in Rock City was just throwing bricks.
Now, it has come time to "introduce jade" in an all-round way.
The Leon are a powerful race. Whether it is military capability or other comprehensive strength, it is one of the best on the northern continent.
Tianhao's biggest concern is that the lion clan and the tiger clan will unite to deal with the dragon clan together.
The Leons must be plunged into civil strife, and it is a long-lasting, difficult to solve at the source, difficult to coordinate or even impossible to coordinate.
The Lion King is indeed a visionary.
However, his understanding of economics was too one-sided, and he never paid attention to the words "national credit".
Metal money and banknotes, which do not contain gold or silver, are essentially tokens. The benefits of issuing tokens are obvious, and they can also bring huge benefits to the community. However, the lion king walks too fast and takes too big steps, and if the token is not recognized by the people, it will not have any effect, which is equivalent to a pile of scrap metal and a piece of waste paper.
β¦β¦
To the southeast of the Dragon Clan's border, the area bordering the Eagle Clan, Black Feather Pass.
Like Suolong Pass and Red Moon City, this is a steep pass built on the mountain.
On the other side, there is the Eagle Clan.
Here, it's the dragons.
To the south, there is the lion tribe.
Fierce Tooth stood in the back row of the position wearing a set of standard armor, holding a monocular in his hand, silently staring at the Black Feather Pass looming in the smoke of artillery fire in the distance.
The autumn harvest season is over, and the cold winter is coming.
The northern barbarians like to send troops in the winter to conquer rival tribes. The reason why this time was chosen was to get more food through the war. Summer and early autumn are not suitable for war, and even if you win, you won't profit much. Although the population is important, there is not enough food to feed them, and no amount of captives will only become a burden.
In the long history of the northern barbarians, "we eat them with pleasure" is a proverb. There are many meanings in it, and by extension, many more branches. It has practical meaning, but it is also symbolic.
A smile appeared on the face of the fierce tooth.
He is very happy with his current position, and with his life.
The Eighth Army Corps was a newly formed unit. According to the order issued by His Royal Highness the Lord Regent in February this year, the latest basic establishment of the Dragon Army is three levels: war regiment, division regiment, and corps. Under normal circumstances, the division has 10,000 men, and it is subdivided into large war groups (1,000 people) and small war groups (100 people).
The corps belonged to the largest military force. Usually five divisions and regiments are organized into a corps, and the actual strength is between 50,000 and 60,000 men.
The 1st to 4th Army Corps were reorganized last month, with a total strength of 220,000. They belong to the front-line combat units of the dragon clan, and all of them are assigned to the army.
The establishment of the navy is somewhat mixed, and in addition to the normal maritime combat units, there is currently only one mixed Marine Corps. The regiment was under the responsibility of Zhengjiang and had a huge staffing of more than 70,000 people.
The Forbidden Army was organized into a separate legion, which was personally commanded by His Royal Highness the Regent. It is extremely difficult to enter the legion, and you must be an experienced and meritorious veteran to be eligible for the selection. Although the Praetorian Guard is small in number, it is extremely formidable in combat.
Fierce Tooth didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Regent wanted to skip the middle number and directly form the Eighth Legion. The core of this corps is three regular infantry divisions, and the rest is a new army of 60,000 troops merged from the Raging Bull Division.
Before leaving Rock City, Vicious Fang received a secret message from the Lord Regent from Pointe-Noireββββ two months later, 20,000 new troops from the Vicious Bull Division would also join the Eighth Legion.
Hundreds of large-caliber guns were spread out along the line of the position, and they bombarded the fortified passes in turn.
This place is located on the border of the dragons, the roads are clear, the supply is convenient, and the fierce tooth has not intended to fill it with human lives from the beginning. He knew very well that the reason why His Highness handed over the two new armies of the Fierce Bull and the Wild Bull to himself was to let them integrate with the main clan through war, and further weaken the strength of the Fierce Bull and the Wild Bull Tribe.
Yuan Meng stood more than three meters behind the fierce tooth, also holding a telescope, observing the battlefield in the distance.
The news of the rebellion spread throughout the Dragons.
Yuan Meng knew very well why his old friend ended up like this.
As the patriarch, no one will willingly give up the power they have.
But what if you don't let it out?
The harsh reality lies ahead, and the young regent has made it clear that he must ask for it. You can not give it, I will take it myself.
Yuan Meng is not afraid of death, but he must think about his family.
The more important reason was that Niu Lingxiao's changes shocked him. You must know that guy is an arrogant person, and he has been trying to overwhelm Tianhao or even replace him. He is crazy, very smart, energetic and driven, dares to kill and fight, and even the most beloved woman is stabbed into it in order to achieve his goal, and he will kill when he says kill.
Such a ruthless person succumbed to the majesty of Tianhao.
What other options do I have?
