Chapter 531: Determination in front of the palace
"Got it, son, leave!" Raul blushed, rubbing his hands a little impatiently, and then pulled Torres and ran out of the house. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"This kid!" Orlando shook his head and said with a smile: "I saw that he was still steady and dignified just now, but when I saw my little friend, he became like this, and it seems that he still hasn't grown up." ”
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is honest and affectionate, benevolent and righteous, which is a blessing for the country!" He Jinshui laughed and said with relief: "I like this kind of spontaneous and natural character." ”
"Haha, you kid, you flamboyant are really good at talking!" Alexander pointed to the chair in front of the desk and said, "You have come from afar to work hard, sit down and talk!"
He Jinshui arched his hands and sat down, and Alexander ordered his subordinates to prepare tea, and then waved his hand to make the surrounding guards retreat.
"He Jinshui, I have heard all your affairs in Haisha Town report from the commander of the Third Army, Conca. Alexander stroked his beard with a satisfied look, waved his hand vigorously, and said, "Very well done, exceeding my expectations, living up to high expectations." ”
"It's good if the old man is satisfied!" He Jinshui laughed dryly, rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassed: "Since this matter is complete, then our remuneration, hehe......"
"God!" Alexander pretended to be surprised and said, "I thought that with our friendship, you would take the initiative to bear this burden on my face, but I didn't expect to ask for money, tsk, it's so sad." ”
"Old man, you can't say that!" He Jinshui knew that the old man was joking with him, and he was not angry, but laughed and said: "This relationship also costs money, right, if you fool you this time, this matter will take root in the kid's psychology like a thorn, and it will affect the boy's opinion of your glorious image." ”
"Your opinion is not right!" How could Alexander be so easily fooled by He Jinshui, he shook his head and smiled: "What a glorious thing it is for the royal family to entrust your Lacey Corps to do things, for a while, all the people of the empire know your name, and your name will be passed down with the legendary story, and you may become an epic figure after a thousand years." ”
Alexander's saliva flew as he shook his head and said, "Tsk, you don't know how many mercenary groups are full of envy for you." Believe it or not, as long as the royal family releases the characters again, the mercenary groups in the world will come in an endless stream to apply, even if they are doing it, they will do it, don't you just want to be famous. ”
"We have a reputation for a long time, but the benefits are still far from it!" He Jinshui pinched his chin and said with a smile: "Someone is doing the money, but the mercenary group that can solve the problem smoothly has been counted in the face, we are already the lowest fee here, and the brother has also settled the account, let's do business or talk about the spirit of the contract, right, the rules of mercenaries cannot be broken, if Your Majesty insists on breaking the contract, there will be no credit in the future." ”
"The spirit of the contract?" Alexander laughed dumbly, "With such a big hat buttoned up, it seems that it will not be possible if you don't give money." Well, when Prime Minister Silva comes over to discuss things, I will arrange for him to allocate 10,000 silver dollars to you. ”
"Ten thousand silver dollars!" Rao is He Jinshui is net worth is quite rich, and he is still a little shocked that he has become a small rich man, he rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is simply too generous, the kid is panicked." ”
"Scared fart! Don't give money, look at your face as long as a donkey. Alexander rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You have this money, which is not only a reward for the successful completion of the mission on this trip, but also the only time that you have become a demon fighting volunteer." ”
"No, it's so stingy!" He Jinshui pouted and said: "The establishment of the Volunteer Army is not for His Majesty's iron bucket." ”
"It is for the sake of the iron barrel that it needs to spend money everywhere, and it is stretched thin everywhere!" Alexander sighed and said: "In order to be fully prepared, the empire has invested a lot of financial and material resources to replace weapons and armor, recruit and train soldiers, renovate defense facilities, and expand the first army stationed on the northeast border to guard the outside of the sighing barrier.
"It seems that you will really have to rely on yourself in the future!" He Jinshui pinched his chin thoughtfully. The Lacey Legion has developed to its current scale, backed by the imperial family of the empire and the god of war family of the Neverwinter Castle, friendly with the temple, wandering around the imperial military and wealthy families, and has inextricable links with the rich and rival family consortium, and can even make a fortune from the war with war.
With good relations and rising prestige, once they become a mercenary alliance, they can develop service trade, bodyguards, professional mercenaries, bandits, and martial arts and magic schools, and it is no longer a problem to make money. Coupled with He Jinshui's golden signboard and generous salary and benefits, the Mercenary Alliance can quickly recruit outstanding talents to work for him under his command.
He Jinshui's hometown has an old saying in ancient times, "copy the county order, destroy the door of the mansion Yin", he deeply thinks that some people do not want money and profit, but they are very interested in prestige and being an official, thinking of this, He Jinshui's heart and eyes are lively, pretending to be generous and smiled: "Your Majesty is too polite, how embarrassing is this." ”
"What's yours is yours!" Alexander waved his hand impatiently and said: "The balabala that I wanted just now has become a saint who treats money like dung in a blink of an eye, and we can't keep up with your mental journey." ”
"Your Majesty, look at what you said!" The smile on He Jinshui's face gradually calmed down and became serious, and he took a deep breath and said righteously: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! As a subject of the empire, the villain should have the obligation to lend a helping hand to the empire in distress, and only when he has money and strength can he show his true colors as a man!"
"Good!" Alexander, completely moved, patted the table and stood up at once, and then paced around the study twice with his hands behind his back, his feverish mind gradually cooled down. He looked at He Jinshui, who was smiling more and more brightly, and thought in his heart: "I know this kid too well, he is definitely the master who doesn't see rabbits and eagles, it is impossible to be so generous, there is definitely a plan here." ”
Thinking of this, Alexander returned to his seat, pinched his chin and looked at He Jinshui with deep eyes, and pretended to be profound: "Stinky boy, there is nothing to be courteous or a thief, this is your wise saying, if you have any intentions, confess yourself, otherwise you will be punished." ”
"It's still the old man who knows me best!" He Jinshui raised his thumb and said with a smile: "We don't want anything, but as the leader, we have to bring hope to the brothers, let them know that killing the demon clan with us is not only a high-risk profession, but also a high-yield profession. ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Alexander understood, but deliberately pretended to be confused.
"Your Majesty, you should use extraordinary means at all times!" He Jinshui put away his smile and said solemnly: "Now in the empire, the bureaucratic family system has increasingly become a barrier to the rise of poor youth, and a large number of degenerate bureaucrats, nobles and other rentier classes have filled the court, relying on the heads of the people to make a fortune, and gradually become the scourge of the empire. ”
"What you said is right, I also thought about changing the new picture, but our family itself is a representative of the great aristocracy, and if we have a little idea, we will jump out and make more trouble than anyone else, and I am walking on thin ice and it is difficult to start. Alexander sighed, a helpless expression on his face.
"Since it's hard to change, then simply don't change anything!" He Jinshui slapped his face and smiled: "Since everyone is interested in officials and nobles, let's open the door wide and give young people who are loyal to the country a channel for promotion." At present, strong enemies are lurking everywhere, and the building is in danger, Your Majesty can use thunder means to set up many reward and punishment standards to motivate young people to fight bravely to kill the enemy, build the country with iron and blood, and judge merit with the head, and after reaching a certain standard, they can be promoted and reused, and even the carp leaps into the dragon gate to become a new nobleman. ”
"But in this case, will it cause a backlash and criticism from the old family!" Alexander frowned, looking a little hesitant. He Jinshui's proposal has already involved the country's capital, which can be said to involve the mobilization of the whole body, and we have to be cautious.
"Your Majesty, if you chill the hearts of the poor people in the world, who will share your worries with your heart, and who will fight bravely to kill the enemy regardless of your safety!" He Jinshui said step by step: "As long as you make a small opening, first appoint a group of low-level officers and new nobles according to military merits, you can let them see the light and hope, and naturally be anxious about what you are anxious about, think about what you think, what the soldiers point to, and be invincible." ”
"Well, you kid has some truth in what he said!" Alexander was moved by the grand blueprint drawn by He Jinshui, his breathing suddenly became rough, and his heart beat faster, obviously a little moved. He thought for a while, then frowned again and said: "But in this way, there are more and more officials and nobles, won't it become worthless, there are always people who understand in this world, and when they come back to their senses and find that these titles are like empty checks, won't they lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot?"
"Your Majesty don't worry!" He Jinshui smiled, and said with a hint of cunning in his eyes: " Since it is a blank check, the problem will only be found when it needs to be cashed; similarly, with the gradual increase of the aristocratic bureaucracy, their original privileges must be divided by more people, but it takes time to realize this, and when the contradictions and conflicts between the old and new nobles begin to intensify, maybe the disaster of the demon clan has been solved, and then His Majesty can make a gesture of not helping each other, and he can play with ease, fight a handful, first out of the stick and then give the date, whoever is obedient will win over whom, and naturally can seek maximum benefits from it. ”
"You kid, you can see it thoroughly!" Alexander was stunned in the blueprint drawn by He Jinshui, and it took a long time before he took a deep breath and came back to his senses, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Good opinion, it's a pity that my generation can't see it, maybe in the future you can assist my son Raul to realize it." ”
"Your Majesty, the kid is destined to disappoint you!" He Jinshui shook his head and said: "It will definitely not be me who assists Raul, because the kid does not belong here, and he will definitely leave in the future." The war is together, the kid will make reasonable use of the old man's support and trust to grab power, dictatorship but never love power, as long as the demon god dies, he can hide his merit and fame and leave in style, and leave here with peace of mind. ”
"You're chic!" Alexander said with some interest: "You have such a light-hearted character, you obviously have great talents, but you can't use them, and you don't let go of a fart at any time, so you sometimes hate the old man's teeth." But on the other hand, there are not many people with such simple and lovely intentions as you, so the old man values you even more, and is willing to be close to you with the crown prince, and even hopes to entrust Raul to you after I am a hundred years old. ”
"I see!" He Jinshui pinched his nose and said with a wry smile: "We thought it was with the halo of the protagonist, everyone loves flowers and flowers, but I don't want to be treated as a single-celled animal by you, a strong man without scheming, haha, that's fine." ”
"It's not a good deal!" Alexander spat at him, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "If I give you enough trust and support, are you willing to stay for Raul?"
"Yes, no!" He Jinshui also joked: "Maybe there are many things that can move me, such as for love, for children, and even for friendship, but there is absolutely no right in the many things that move me, because Your Majesty, you can't open a bargaining chip that makes me tempted." ”
"What if it's the white hat?" Alexander's eyes flickered, pointing slightly. He once heard He Jinshui tell the stories of his hometown in ancient times, including the story of a monk in the former dynasty who wanted to give a white hat to the prince surnamed Zhu, which is still fresh in his memory.
"Only a fool will worry about white hats!" He Jinshui shook his head without hesitation, he saw Alexander looking at him with a little mystery, and immediately understood that the other party was testing himself, and immediately bowed his head, made a gesture and said softly: "People with white hats have a lot of opportunities, not to mention hard work, they are like walking on thin ice, they don't have a few friends they can trust, and they don't even have personal leisure and freedom. ”
"Haha, it turns out that people with white hats work so hard. Alexander let out a long sigh, his complicated mind became relaxed, and said in a relaxed tone: "It seems that it is really a chore!"
"That's not it!" He Jinshui was relieved when he saw that the other party put down the mustard, nodded and smiled: "There was a statistic in our hometown before, there were hundreds of emperors in all dynasties, only half of them died normally, and the rest died unexpectedly. ”
He Jinshui stood up, poured a cup of tea for the old man and handed it to his hand, and then continued: "If you want to leave in the future, the kid's relatives and friends still hope that Your Majesty will take care of them. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Alexander replied to him immediately, stood up and thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "Tell me about your experience." ”
