168.The King (2)
The dinner that night, although the number of people was large, but it was not noisy, as a subordinate, for the lord's likes and dislikes, these lords were very attentive, knowing that Randall was blind and sensitive to the surrounding sounds, so they did not dare to be too presumptuous, several lords had participated in the last territorial meeting, and were deeply impressed by Randall's majesty, so they were more restrained, and when they drank soup and drink, they were not as bold as before, and 'h'u'0'''o'm' was more 'new' and fast
Sitting in the position of the original Edward's city lord, after tasting it by an exclusive personal soldier (drug tester) beside him, after there was no abnormality, he slowly drank a few sips of hot vegetable soup, the hot soup moisturized his stomach, thinking of something, Randall suddenly stopped, and said to Hu Li, who had come here a few days earlier to mobilize supplies, "I will stop for two days, and meet with its south in the north, you hurry up and unify the war materials, and the weather is very cold, you let everyone in this city, even slaves, drink this soup and enjoy bread." ”
The cold weather has a great demand for food, and hunger is very painful. The maids who had just served Randall made a belly crunch for him to hear.
"You are the most merciful lord in the world, and I know that you have given the order, and you have prepared in advance, and just now, except for those who are on guard in shifts, the rest have been handed out with food. Hu Li took a sip of wine and said.
Hu Li sat next to Randall, there were five people at the long table, with Randall as the center, Hu Li was the second from the left, Edward, the lord of the city, was the first from the left, and his confidant Weber was the second from the right.
After taking a few more bites of food, Randall wiped his mouth and raised his glass to the lords in the audience, "Sir, cheers." ”
"Your Highness Xie appreciates the wine. ”
Randall only took a small sip to go cold, and said, "You have only been following the Golden Lion for a short time, and you have only sworn allegiance to the Moonlight Palace, I am not very familiar with you, take this opportunity to liven up the atmosphere, chat at will, and tell me about the interesting things in your territory.
Randall spoke, and after a while, the sound of wine glasses clashing one after another, and these brave nobles began to brag about their great achievements in front of Randall, and some went too far to cause others to mock them.
The heavier the wind and snow outside the city, the more it does not stop, and the field is more and more lively, many young people come forward to compete with the magic mountain, Randall raises, can tie, reward two "lion gold", "winner" to six.
Hearing "Lion Gold" made the number of people who wanted to challenge the Magic Mountain increase several times.
"Lion Gold" is a new gold coin, known as the name, the obverse is the "Golden Lion", the reverse is the "Randall wearing a crown" as the image of the coin, has not yet entered the market, mostly among the nobles under the Golden Lion Collar, Randall dissolved a batch of gold before, to create a thousand new "Lion Gold".
The ratio of this thing to the Gallic gold coin was about 14 for 14, and when converted, it was a considerable reward, and some poor knights, relying on wine to strengthen their courage, were eager to try.
The currencies of various countries are different, the abundant metal ores are also different, in recent years, wars have been frequent, many lords began to make their own coins, their manufacturing process, low purity, these coins into the market, even more push up prices, the market counterfeit money and less colored coins are increasing.
For example, three years ago, Siri took back the old gold coins that originally had the "arena" motif, and issued 100,000 new gold and silver coins with "wolf bodies", which were only three-quarters of the previous fineness, and this kind of gold coin can only be exchanged for two-thirds of the silver coins in Gaul at present.
At present, the official gold coin of Gaul is "William, the ancestor of the second dynasty of Gaul", which is formulated, and the obverse of the coin is printed with the eagle's head - "eagle pound", compared with more than 100 years ago, the purchasing power of this gold coin has increased by one and a half, reflecting the rise of Gaul's national power.
More than 30 years ago, in order to raise funds for the war, the four archdukes issued bad coins successively within five years, so that the economy was corrupted, and those who did not want to accept them caused a sufficient amount of coins printed with "seagulls" in the Arthurian era, "gull dollars", which are still hot today.
There are many good ports in Aragon, and the gold coins are based on the image of a natural port, called "Hong Kong dollars".
The Dutch region, Austria-Hungary, Rooney three countries are close to each other, all use shields for the picture, gold coins have "shield gold" said, the Netherlands gold, the color is very good, so the local "Dutch guilder" is most commonly used by the people of the three countries.
After Saxony recognized itself as a saint, the obverse of the coin is "Madonna", the back is "cross", the religious meaning is the strongest, and the Madonna is a symbol of "beauty" and "holiness", they call themselves "holy coin", but foreign pagan merchants do not eat this set, they call this kind of coin with a "beautiful bust" "dollar".
The U.S. dollar was once the most sought-after gold coin, but after Saxony was defeated in several wars of expansion, Saxony reminted it to relieve financial pressures, and began to decline, never returning to the top.
As for the gold coins of imperial Persia, because of the long-term mastery of the supple "silk cloth" in the East, the fifth emperor Lucar, he created a gold coin with a head wearing silk cloth, and called this coin "ruble".
This coin was the largest circulation in the past 200 years, once more than 20 million coins, but now less than a million coins are in circulation.
Recently, the newly emerging kingdom of Xitai will receive war reparations, and nearly 2 million rubles will be reminted, and the new coin "Mark" with the "horse" pattern will be created, which will replace the use of rubles in the eastern part of the sea and the Pedo Peninsula.
There are many kinds of coins in the earth and sea, and there is no overlord today.
The issuance of lion gold, not only to show personal prestige, or as a reward, and so on until Gaul unified, Randall to unify the coins in the territory, prohibit the lords from minting coins privately, all by the "center" to issue new gold, silver, copper coins, and then rely on firearms, goods, knowledge, so that these "lion coins" become common on the mainland, everyone uses lion coins to trade, become the strongest coin, I don't know how long it will take to realize this plan, maybe several generations, but it is still worth a try.......
.
The Demon Mountain's burly physique, the old wooden table, could not withstand the fierce force he pressed, and when he successfully overwhelmed the two opponents, he actually crashed into a crack!
"Next. ”
"Boom. ”
"Come again. ”
"Boom. ”
"Who else!"
The 30 pieces of lion gold that were ready to be rewarded were taken out and placed on a silver plate, and the craftsmanship was exquisite, and each lion gold was made round and smooth, making people want to touch it when they saw it.
In the end, he defeated eight opponents, and the magic mountain, which had no time to recover, was defeated by a brigadier, but the magic mountain was not annoyed, but toasted towards it, showing his heroic side.
Randall also rewarded the Magic Mountain with ten pieces as a reward for his bravery.
Webber then went up to be challenged, strength was not his strength, and after winning three in a row, he lost to a middle-aged knight.
Randall was stirred up by the cheers of the crowd and went out to fight with others, and his opponent chose a young horseless knight who had just turned sixteen.
By the time Randall finished his elegant drink, his opponent had already drunk four glasses, and his face was flushed.
"You won. ”
"Multi-...... Thank you, Your Highness. ”
One lion gold was enough to buy a horse, which made him happy, and in the subsequent competitions such as drinking and boxing, Randall rewarded a total of seventy-two lion gold.
He said the same words of encouragement to the thirteen lords, in exchange for thirteen similar and loyal remarks.
At the end of the banquet, someone rushed in and took out an urgent item and handed it to Hu Li.
"Please be quiet, there is an urgent report. Hu Li asked everyone to return to their seats.
"You read it. Only Randall didn't move, standing beside the sixteen-year-old knight who had outdone him, and put his arm on his shoulder.
"The goshawk who dominates the sky, the Lord incarnates on earth, the master of the Rohr Palace, the ...... of Leu-von Chellon. ”
This letter of Lewu "invites" the troops sent by Randall to withdraw from the province of Upper Annong, and after receiving the letter, he will immediately send someone to Randall to know.
This letter of credit is very interesting, using very mild words such as "please", "hope", "understanding", etc., and at the end of the sentence it says that the truth of Wallace's rebellion will be ascertained, and it is hoped that the courtiers of the kingdom can get along "peacefully".
"Master of Luoer Palace, what do you think of the royal decree?" Randall asked, slowly returning to his seat.
"It was written by Laussie, and everyone knows that the true king of Gaul is not in the palace of Roll, and if it is really sent by the master of this palace, then this letter has no authority, and you must have the same opinion. "Hu Li is very direct.
But the nobles in the audience just listened, did not dare to answer, and were as quiet as chickens.
"O'Neill, you say. Randall chose him to speak.
"Could it be that the Marquis of Laussey is the true king?" Magic Mountain said casually.
It is more appropriate to call it a "pseudo-king". Darth, as an ombudsman, replied.
"The book says that there are true kings and false kings, and it is not a good thing for many people to be kings. "This time it was Weber who spoke.
"That's right. Hu Li stood up and bowed to Randall, "It's not a good thing for many people to call themselves kings, there should only be one ruler and one king in Gaul!"
The audience watching this performance was stunned and unable to digest, and two people's wine glasses fell.
Simple quelling chaos, pursuing revenge, wanting more territory, these are not these.
The nobles who got the lion gold took out the pocket eagle pound one after another, and after looking at each other, among them, the young sixteen-year-old knight who had just won Randall stammered and blew out a historic quote that will be passed down to future generations.
"High ...... Gold...... King. ”
But this sentence was immediately said by Hu Li, who felt that it was good, with a more powerful gesture and voice, so that future generations thought that he did it.
The sentence is, "Gao-Lu-Xing, Jin-Lion-King!"
