Chapter 402: Blackmail

After hearing this, Tolkien almost brushed his sleeves away, squinted his eyes on the spot, and said, "This is not your attitude of cooperation. ”

Hearing this, Ari's mouth couldn't help but grin, revealing eight shining teeth, and he smiled: "What kind of cooperation, why do you say it sounds so good, I haven't heard that I'm blackmailing you......"

J.R.R. Tolkien: "......"

However, Eri could be willful, but Tolkien couldn't.

"Everything else can be discussed, the last one, the kingdom cannot agree, the coinage right cannot be given to you, and what currency the kingdom uses is the internal affair of the kingdom, and it is impossible to be at your mercy. ”

"Then let's not talk about it,"

Ari took a sip of his coffee and said with a nonchalant expression, "I'll let Gal accompany you to have a good time in Atlanta City for two days." ”

"Cooperation is good for both parties......

"I think it's good now, it's going too fast and it's going to be more troublesome. ”

"Then let's not talk about it!"

"That's right," Ari put down his coffee and said earnestly, "Work can be done later, it's rare to come to Atlanta, it's the right way to have fun for two days, by the way, I won't participate in the banquet in the evening, and have fun." ”

Seeing that Ari was really leaving, Tolkien was really a headache.

"Come back!"

"The kingdom can give in to the cooperation, don't pretend, otherwise I will go back to the royal capital directly. ”

Ari paused: "Okay, I'll give Gal a face." ”

After sitting down, Ari didn't dwell on the matter of coinage, which was not his purpose in the first place.

"Originally, I thought that since it was a cooperation, I wouldn't hide it. It's just that since you don't agree with the last one, then our cooperation will be discounted.

The manufacturing technology and alloy smelting formula can be sold to you, and the new form material is not counted among them, after all, this is the core technology of Atlanta City, but your kingdom can still buy it from Atlanta City at the best price on the mainland. ”

"Sell?" Tolkien looked at Ari in a daze, co-authoring the agreement you said for tens of thousands of words, and finally let me spend money to buy it?

"Of course it's for sale, otherwise you'll give it to you for nothing. Ari had a stupid expression on his face: "Such an important technology is what you will sell, that is, I will give you this opportunity to cooperate for the sake of Gar's face, at a fixed price, four billion gold coins!"

"Four billion gold coins!" Tolkien twitched inwardly.

Do you want to get back the money you bought Atlanta City together?

Thinking about the recent order in Atlanta City, it was blown by a strong wind, and it was not repaid, which is about to cost close to a billion, if it is four billion, the kingdom will have to post hundreds of millions of gold coins upside down?

Tolkien shook his head repeatedly: "Four billion gold coins are impossible, the most ...... A billion at most!"

Ari looked at him like a fool: "You sell four billion gold coins in one city, and such an important technology is only one billion?"

Tolkien argued: "The price of four billion was made by you at that time, and I didn't force you." ”

Arile said: "Okay, now I sell four billion, do you like to buy it or not." ”

Tolkien said helplessly: "I really can't afford ......"

"Three billion gold coins, the remaining billion gold coins are offset by policies, and I can not force the right to mint money, but the kingdom must ensure the legal use of Atlanta City's currency in the kingdom, and the legitimate business activities of Atlanta City commercial banks in the kingdom cannot be interfered with in any way. ”

"What is a commercial bank......

"It's similar to the Amethystum card, it is the function of depositing and withdrawing gold coins, but it has an additional loan function, which is to make interest-bearing loans to the outside world. Ari explained evasively.

"Deposit and withdraw gold coins, and interest-bearing loans?" Tolkien was a little confused, isn't that a good thing?

All the countries on the continent are minting their own coins, and although the specifications are different, they are all interchangeable, which in Tolkien's opinion is not a matter at all.

Seeing Tolkien's doubts, Ari waved his hand and said, "You just want to lend it to Atlanta City for interest, and you have to agree, mainly to gain the trust of the people of the kingdom and start business faster." ”

Tolkien thought about it and felt that there was no problem, but he still felt that the three billion gold coins were a bit expensive, and if the three billion were given, there would only be a little money left to sell Atlanta City......

What will he do in the future, who is used to the kind of money that can't be spent?

"Or two billion gold coins?"

"Don't go, two and a half billion gold coins can also be discussed!"

"Okay, three billion is three billion!"

After reaching a basic consensus, both of them expressed great satisfaction.

Tolkien was satisfied because one Atlantan city could get so many things, and it didn't cost it!

Especially the technology for the manufacture of lathes and alloys.

With these, the kingdom also has the confidence to participate in this continental war, as long as the operation is good, maybe after the fall of the Chaman Empire, a new empire will take off on its ruins, and when the time comes, are you afraid that Atlanta City will not be recovered?

Ari also expressed satisfaction, but after being satisfied, he was a little melancholy.

There's no rival to that.

As long as the bank is established, it will take a few years, and the economic lifeline of the kingdom will be grasped.

After an informal meeting with Tolkien, Ari was about to start preparing for food production.

The matter of the golden thread monkey and the monster is easy to solve, Hou Sailei gave an order, and the monkeys pretended to be Hou Wei, and the monster was supported like a ploughing ox, plowing and sowing seeds, and flying fast.

It's just that the villagers of Bran Village and these magical beasts are put together, and Eri is still a little worried, so there must be a master who sits in the Tower of Time and Space all year round.

Candidates are also ready-made.

Ari traveled to the fourth floor of the Tower of Time and Space and found the Divine Son Gorgon, who was hidden there.

"Are you going to give up looking for me? "Gorgon was a little excited, he was going crazy to stay here, the time in the Tower of Time was seven times longer than outside, if it weren't for the fact that he was hiding from the temple enforcers with noses sharper than dogs, he wouldn't have stayed in one place for so long!

Ari touched his nose, coughed twice, and said: "The temple didn't find you a month ago, from light to dark, and you are still investigating in secret, I suggest you stay a few more months, anyway, you are a son of God, you have a long life, and staying here can make your pot of Moira grow faster......"

Gorgon shook his head resolutely: "No, I have to go out, there is no one here, I will go crazy if I stay for a long time." ”

"It's okay, I'm about to arrange for someone to come in and accompany you......"

"I'm really going out," Gorgon's attitude was sincere, "I won't hide it from you, I need a lot of faith power to improve my strength, this place is isolated, I can't intercept the power of faith." ”

"Your power comes from the power of faith?" asked Ari, curiously, "Can you tell me how you intercepted the power of faith?"

"This is my bloodline talent, I only know that I can intercept the power of faith of the two gods of light and darkness, and they will naturally transform into divine power in the academy's body. ”

"The Power of Faith...... Power. Ari pondered for a moment, and did not continue to ask, but said: "I will arrange for a village of people to come in, as long as you can protect them, I don't mind if you absorb the power of their faith, and when the time is right, I will help you enter the Temple of Light and control the faith of the entire north." ”

Gorgon's eyes lit up instantly, if he could control the faith in the north, as long as it was a few years, even if a god came, he would have a way to deal with it!

"How long do you need, you give me a deadline, as long as you can do it, the power of the temple can be used by you, I just need faith. ”

Ari nodded with satisfaction: "As long as you give me two years, I will at least help you achieve the position of bishop." ”

"Let's not talk about that. Ari's voice changed and he warned, "It's your business to get the faith, but if I let me know you've hurt them, I'll make you worse than if you fell into the hands of the Temple." ”

Gorgon said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, although Moira needs life force growth, but since you have explained, I will not attack them." ”

Seeing Gorgon's attitude, Eri's face softened slightly.

He still believed in Gorgon's assurance, and he investigated several villages where Gorgon had stayed, and found that he was indeed quite principled, never took the initiative, and was very restrained in absorbing life force, causing little harm.

Going out of the Tower of Time and Space, Ari informed Lian of the result as soon as possible.

When Eri solved all the trivial things, Lotus was still making magic scrolls, and it was not too easy to make seventh-level magic scrolls, and it was necessary to reproduce double magic, and the failure rate was much higher than normal, if it weren't for the low cost of materials, Ari wouldn't have been able to withstand Lotus's hum.

When Lotus made the third scroll, Ari stopped Lotus from continuing to make the next one, and said, "It's enough to have these three for the time being, the Golden Thread Monkey and the Warcraft also need a run-in period, and you can't release too much food at one time, otherwise there will be big problems." ”

"Didn't you say that you wanted to be the granary of the mainland? Lian was not happy when she heard Eri's words, she was finally going to do a big thing, how could she be anticlimactic.

"It's not that I regret it, but your main task now is to set up an agricultural department and let farmers switch to other crops, otherwise when the price of food drops, they will be greatly impacted. ”

As soon as Lian heard it, she felt that it made sense, and hurriedly ran out.

"Come back!"

"Do you know what the Department of Agriculture is going to do, just run out. ”

Ari reluctantly stopped Lian and handed over a plan.

"This is my arrangement for the Department of Agriculture, and Teacher Lian can use it as a reference. ”

"Okay, I'll refer to that. Lian grabbed the planning book, flipped through a few pages casually, and stuffed it into the space ring.

It's the same whether you look at it or not, but you can't understand it anyway......

But this is not a big deal for Lian, she can't understand it, just find someone who can understand it.

As a result, Joffrey, who was undergoing special training, was taken away directly from the academy by Lian with a bewildered expression.

"Teacher Lian, what are you doing here! I also need special training to win glory for the academy!" Seeing the scenery around him quickly recede, Joffrey couldn't help but struggle.

"Don't move, I'm looking for you!" Lian couldn't help but slap Joffrey before he quieted down.

When she arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Lian put Joffrey down.

Joffrey hurriedly tidied up his collar, and then looked at Lian with a complaining face: "Don't do anything if you have something, I'm also the leader of a big mercenary group, so I don't want to save face!"

"When you help me complete this matter, I will promote you to deputy director, and then you will have all the face. Lian walked into the office of the Department of Agriculture with Joffrey and said casually.

"What do you mean?" said Joffrey, puzzled.

Lian didn't explain, and threw the plan that didn't write human words directly over: "This is the plan book I asked people to sort out, take it and take a look, and ask me if I don't understand after reading it, I can tell you, if it weren't for the fact that you are my student, this opportunity will not be your turn." ”

"Department of Agriculture...... Flower Farming ...... Orchard Farming ......" Joffrey's eyes brightened the more he looked at it, and after reading it, he was still a little incredulous: "Such an important department, Ari is relieved to hand it over to you?"

"Of course...... No, what do you mean by that!" Lian's slut's face was a little unkind: "What do you mean to leave it to me with confidence?"

"Uh, that's not what I meant......"

"I want to say, how did I not know about the establishment of such an important department. ”

"There's a lot you don't know. Lian asked directly: "Do you understand the planning book? If you don't understand it, just say it." ”

"I understand what I can see, but I want to ask, how many people are in our Department of Agriculture, how much money do we have, and it's not easy to fix it if there is ......" Joffrey looked at the projects on the plan, frowning slightly, these projects require a lot of manpower and material resources.

"People, there are two, money, I haven't gone to Ari to ask for ......"

"Farewell!" Joffrey turned around and left without hesitation, what are you kidding, just him and such an unreliable teacher Lian can't afford such a big shelf in the Department of Agriculture.

"Stop!" Lotus called Joffrey and said, "If everything is done, why do you want to do it?" ”

"But I don't have time now, there are less than two months to go, the Continental College Ranking Tournament is about to start, I still have to represent Atlanta City, I can only win, I can't lose, I don't even have time to accompany my father now!" Joffrey helplessly begged for mercy: "Teacher Lian, I'm under a lot of pressure!"

Seeing that Joffrey really refused to agree, after weighing it for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you help me, in addition to the promotion of you to be the deputy director of the hall as promised before, I will also help you awaken the bloodline ability of the elven race, and when the time comes, in addition to the earth-based wind magic, you can also have additional wood-based magic ability, become a third-line magician, and if you are lucky, you can even awaken an elf talent!"

"So powerful?" Joffrey's eyes lit up, "Can you bring my sister with you?"

"It's just you, I don't want to forget it!"

"Deal!"11
