The treasury was heavily guarded, guarded by guards who specialized in military duties, but there was no garrison inside the treasury.

After the kind of check-in-the-dark outside, it is impossible for idle people and others to enter the treasury, so at most, there are a few imperial guards who routinely patrol and monitor the clerks who work here.

Actuarial clerks sit in front of the abacus table, with financial statements stacked in front of them, and they bury their heads in calculating the data on them, verifying, comparing and analyzing them, and then sorting them into new documents.

The clerk in charge of the cashier received the king's edict from Baldian, read it carefully, made a "please" gesture, and led the three to the treasury.

Contrary to the splendor and jewels of the imagination, the vault does not have any special fancy decorations, just a huge airtight warehouse, which is not filled with goods, but with a large number of moon coins and coinage materials.

The interior of the vault is so large that it is difficult to see the end at a glance, and the neatly arranged shelves are stacked on top of each other, all of which have a regular naming method to facilitate the statistics of financial personnel.

The finished coins stored here are divided by type, with stacks of 10 coins arranged on the shelves with almost obsessive-compulsive precision, giving them a physical aesthetic from a distance.

This is the financial lifeblood of Dogurland, whether it is to maintain the daily operation of the kingdom or to manage the finances in times of emergency.

If the treasury is full, the country will be safe and secure, and if the treasury is empty, the country will be weak and the people will be poor.

In recent years, the ancient kingdom of Doguland has not been prosperous and stable, first with an outbreak of bestiality, the "Laurel War" in 486 A.D., and then the coup d'état in the royal city in 500 A.D., and its finances were on the verge of depletion.

Fortunately, there has been no more war in the more than ten years since the coup d'état in Wangcheng, and the state of the state treasury has turned around, and it is now at a level of "still stable", which is not rich, but it is also not empty.

1,000 golden moons is an unimaginable wealth for an individual, but it is not a huge amount for a country.

After the cashier checked the edict, he found people and began to count the number of golden moons.

The stacks of golden moons on the wooden shelves were taken away and packed into boxes, and Edward saw this, and said half-jokingly: "1000 golden moons, you can buy a bottle of 4-star permanent potion and cultivate a transcendent whose strength is comparable to that of the 4th sequence; ”

"In exchange for Yinyue, you can buy the land of a town and become a landlord."

"Exchanged for copper and iron moons, you can buy mountains of grain to support 3 full-fledged legions that are out of production for a whole year."

"And now, this wealth is going to be fed to a kidnapper."

Bao Erdian waited for the officials to count the moon coins, shook his head and sighed: "I have the same idea as His Majesty the King, although it is a pity to give away 1,000 gold moons in vain, but if this money can be exchanged for Bao, I will give it back." ”

"The Bao caravan is an extremely important link in the kingdom's trade routes, and it has business dealings with large and small chambers of commerce in various places. If Bao encounters an accident and the Far Eastern Dynasty tightens trade, it will deal a big blow to our economy, and then it will not be a matter of losing 1,000 gold moons. ”

"What if he's dead?" Edward shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "How bad would it be if Po was already a corpse right now that we were talking?" ”

"Trust me, if your speculation comes true, it's never a good outcome." Bao Erdian stroked his beard lightly and said silently, "Of course, if this kind of thing really happens, we can only try our best to make up for the consequences." At the very least, it is certain that the foundation of the Kingdom will not be shaken by the death of a Po, and Dogurand is not so fragile. ”

"Speaking of which, don't you have anything to say? Archon Chino. Edward looked at Chino and narrowed his eyes, "You and Po had business dealings before, and now his life and death are unknown, and your reaction seems to be calm." ”

Chino said lightly: "What do I have to say? Like you said - business dealings - Po and I are not friends, just trading partners, and he can provide what I want, and that's all there is to me. ”

"If Bao dies, someone else will take over from Bao's caravan, and another cat, dog, and pig will come to me to negotiate trade and continue to provide the goods I want, but it's just a different person, and I have nothing to say."

"That's just as well." Edward chuckled and continued, "What kind of person does Po think of you?" ”

"Arrogant, introverted, and rude..."Chino counted the shortcomings of Po one by one, and finally met Edward's gaze, a slight smile appeared in his eyes, "If he wasn't the boss of Po's caravan, he would have become a dead man on the first day he came to the government mansion, and he wouldn't know how he died." ”

"Hahaha, you are really honest, you don't shy away from suspicion, dare to say such things at this juncture." I don't know if Edward's words are sincere praise or a joke.

He then looked at the packing box not far away and said, "It's almost packed." ”

Soon, the financial official came over and said respectfully: "Lord Edward, the 1,000 golden moons have all been counted and packed, do you want to count them yourself, or just seal the boxes?" ”

"Just seal the box, I'm sure Lord Baldian's subordinates won't make low-level mistakes." Edward beckoned to everyone and led the way out, "Let's go, don't delay the work of the treasury here." ”

There are rules for entering the treasury, and there are also rules for leaving the treasury.

When leaving the warehouse, it is necessary to "separate the human box", and the person will go through the security check again when he comes out, and the iron-swallowing beast will sniff whether there are metal products hidden.

If the Iron Swallower barks at this time, then it will be a big problem.

If you were able to go in at first, it means that there was no metal on your body, and when you came out, you could only take something inside.

Of course, this did not happen with Chino et al.

As for the cashier's box, it took another channel, and the imperial guards checked the contents according to the cashier's report, and finally "sealed" the box and transported it out of the treasury.

When Chino and the others came out, the boxes were also transported out and put on their carriages.

From this moment on, the treasury cashier process is completed, and the monthly coins are delivered to the claimant in the true sense.

If there is any unexpected situation, such as losing the monthly coin, the claimant will be responsible for it, and it will not be related to the treasurer of the national treasury.

Ray Sakhar was blocked out because of a moment of negligence, and was sitting on the side of the road bored, when he saw the three of them coming out, he immediately smiled bitterly: "You can figure it out, I have counted all the ants on the ground several times." ”

Edward quipped, "You should find a chance to go in and have a look, I'm honest, those golden moons are almost sparkling in my eyes." ”

"Alright, don't irritate me, hurry up and ride my dragon and get down to business." Ray Sahar looked into the distant sky and muttered, "I hope we're still in time." ”
