Chapter 64: Who hasn't had an idea yet
"Father, just go back and get ready. I'll take care of the rest. Li Xiang said.
Rosen quietly looked at the young man in front of him, who was the only young man among the three sons who inherited his mother's beauty, but under this outstanding face, even he had to admit that the more he looked at it, the more he looked like a real man.
Li Xiang didn't pay attention to Rosen's gaze, paused, and continued: "The most important thing for us now is to gain time, and we can't give Bullock and Ryon the opportunity to take the lead. So we had to find a way to muddy the waters of the kingdom. ”
"What do you mean?" asked Archduke Rosen.
Thinking of this idea, Li Xiang couldn't help but smile very happily. "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly thought of a way to make money and wanted to try it. Father, can you lend me some money first?"
Looking at Li Xiang rubbing his hands, Rosen asked, "How much do you want?"
"Two or three thousand Lukka gold coins in the early stage should be enough. Li Xiang carefully estimated and said.
The scale of Mitheus is indeed big enough, but the funding gap is also even bigger.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. As a family member, Li Xiang had to try all kinds of ways to solve this problem as soon as possible.
You know, even in Twilight City now, you owe a hundred or so gold coins.
"Why do you want so much money?" Even Archduke Rosen was a little surprised when he heard this number, even if he wanted to develop Mitheus, he wouldn't need so much money now.
Mitheus only has a few hundred students and dozens of teachers, does it cost dozens of gold coins for one person?
"You will borrow it from me, and I will return it to you within a year. Li Xiang promised.
"It's not enough to borrow it, if you really need it, I'll let Sputin prepare it for you when you go back. "Grand Duke Rosen is a cheerful man.
Although 3,000 gold coins was a huge number, it was not too big a number for the Grand Duke who had ruled the northern part of the kingdom for thirty years.
"Borrowing is borrowing. Rest assured, it shouldn't be a loss-making business. ”
Li Xiang suddenly thought of a question and asked, "There is another question I would like to ask my father." ”
"You say. Rosen found that the young man in front of him had a lot of brilliance in his eyes, obviously playing some kind of caution, but he also looked confident.
"Why is Brock so rich?" Li Xiang asked directly.
Grand Duke Rosen didn't think about it, and said directly: "On the one hand, it is because of Brock's control of the southwest, of course, the biggest reason is that the two largest Xuangang mines in the kingdom are all in the southwest and are firmly controlled by the Brock family. This is probably the biggest reason why Ryon is willing to cooperate with the Bullock family. ”
Xuangang mine?
Li Xiang suddenly thought of the mysterious weapon shop in Sour Iron City. Isn't that what you've been building all kinds of dark steel weapons?
Could that be why they came to the kingdom of Western Asia?
So what did they do with so many dark steel weapons?
"Does my father know the exact location of the Xuangang Mine?" asked Li Xiang.
Rosen shook his head and said: "Those two big minerals are the lifeblood of the Brock family, and if they are not the most core members, it is impossible to know the location." Brock obtains countless gold coins from the major kingdoms, especially the Caesar Empire, every year by exporting Xuangang, and it can be said that the vault of the entire Iron Castle is less than one-tenth of the Brock family's wealth. ”
"Then His Majesty George doesn't have any other ideas?" Li Xiang was a little surprised.
As a king, such an important source of finance could not be firmly grasped in his own hands.
Rosen smiled slightly, "This is also an old thing. These two mines, in fact, have been controlled by the Brock family since before the establishment of the Kingdom of West Asia more than a hundred years ago. When His Majesty first enlisted the support of the Bullock family, he may have promised that he would never get his hands on those two mines at any time. You don't have an idea, do you?"
"Such a good thing, who can not have an idea. Li Xiang said with a smile.
With the growth of Mitheus, all kinds of weapons and equipment have become scarce goods. Li Xiang has already begun to let Teacher Horton recruit tailors and blacksmiths and other capable people.
But now the effect is not obvious.
If there is a Xuangang mine to support it, then wouldn't he be equivalent to a capitalist?
There are a lot of methods, but it is precisely because there is no money that they can't be played. This is Li Xiang's biggest regret.
"You must be a capitalist of all evils. Li Xiang thought silently in his heart.
"You'd better be careful, don't get too far ahead. Duke Rosen was worried. He found that this kid's courage was really boundless.
What is it that has made him become like this in the course of a year?
"It's okay, I can start with Glico's side first. Li Xiang said with a smile.
Only then did Rosen remember that Glico was still locked up in the Mitheus Dragon Arena, guarded by Chris.
"What are you going to do with this?" Rosen asked.
Li Xiang didn't think about it, and said: "Of course, I let it go in the end, I don't know how to kill people, and I don't approve of it." After all, harmony is precious. However, before that, it is estimated that Glico has been cultivating in Mitheus for a while. ”
"Aren't you afraid of causing the Mirands to retaliate frantically?" Rosen worried.
Li Xiang looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. "What are you afraid of? You know, Chris is a good friend of ours now, Lord Gregor is here as a guest, and the Mirands always need someone to take care of it. ”
Rosen suddenly realized something, and was impressed with this son again.
..................
Outside the giant wolf territory of the Mitheus Dragon Arena, several small houses have been built since Chris came. Less than 100 meters from the cottage where Dilis lives alone.
No one was restricting Glico's movements, just like Chris.
But everyone knows that Lord Gregor, who only has the strength of the Golden Dragon Fighter, doesn't even have a chance to escape around the giant wolf territory.
From time to time, the old wolf who had grown up walked out of the territory and came here for a spin, and the meaning could not be more obvious.
A few hundred meters away is the square where the White Wolf King cultivates. The giant wolf on the stone has a clear division of labor.
Glico sat upright.
Glico is still wearing a luxurious robe, his hair is meticulously combed, and he still does not fake his color in the face of his son, who has changed into an ordinary civilian robe
"Do you think this will make me change my mind?" said Glico coldly, completely lacking the consciousness that a captive should have.
Chris didn't pay attention to the middle-aged man, he didn't even bother to say a word, he delivered the simple meal according to his duty, turned around and closed the door and left.
"You don't want to go back to Miranda for the rest of your life! Glico's voice of swearing came from inside.
Chris didn't feel any waves, picked up the spear in his hand and went straight to the training ground.
That's what he's focusing on every day right now. If you don't make progress, you're really going to be played to death by those three shameless things.
Master Chris was ten thousand unconvinced.
