Chapter 1264: The Proposal of the Noble Bank
Within the empire, the winds of the nobility have changed.
Grand Duke Kawi was in no hurry, he just replenished the vehicle with all his might, and then waited for the other nobles to take the initiative to show goodwill.
Grand Duke Rissa could only watch his allies leave silently, thinking hard about how to break the situation. Even if the Kaveh family doesn't attack, time is not infinite for the Risa family. If the situation does not change and continues to evolve, the pressure will force the Risa family to disintegrate first without outsiders to fight.
Therefore, Kavi Gong, who held high the blood flag, was not worried, he was just accumulating strength, after all, the vehicles needed by the three legions were not yet complete.
As one of the partners in the manufacturing and development of automobiles, Lin can tolerate internal prices, but does not allow anyone to take the car without paying. In fact, this is also to maintain the financial health of the car center. Someone knows very well that there is a grand duke and a chamber of commerce in charge, and if there is no restriction, there is no need to take a delivery car at all. Just the internal digestion, the center is to build one, and there is no one.
The Grand Duke was not opposed to running the automobile center in such a way. After all, there is money to be charged for selling ore to the center. There is no reason to earn the material fee by yourself, and you have to take the car for nothing.
In addition, the requirements of the car for the road are quite high, and it is not as easy as outsiders imagine that they can choose the offensive route at will. In fact, there weren't that many offensive routes that the car could use, but it was enough for himself to play the Risa family in the palm of his hand. What's more, there are deceptive tactics in war, so why bother the old duke to explain this beautiful misunderstanding. At times like these, silence can be even more stressful.
Of course, Grand Duke Kaveh could not let this situation continue. The legions are assembled, and the supplies consumed are also a considerable number. Maybe dragging it down can drag the Risa family to death, but it may also cause disgust among other nobles.
After all, the war between the two archdukes is something that will affect all aspects of the empire. When other people's emotions become war-weary, perhaps the wind direction will change again, which is not good for their own side.
Not to mention revenge, it's about stabbing the enemy. It's too boring to watch the other party self-destruct. Without blood and fire, how can it be regarded as a tribute to one's dead son. Therefore, the time limit set by the old duke for himself is the moment when the number of vehicles is enough to carry three legions and the necessary supplies, and that is the time to destroy the Risa family.
That's why a certain magician is asked to borrow money, just to speed up the reloading of the vehicle. But if this road doesn't work, Kavi Gong doesn't force it. Anyway, according to the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the Risa family is sacrificed. If anything happens, to be honest, he's looking forward to it.
But when it comes to variables, there is indeed a suspicious rumor. After thinking about it, Kavi Gong decided to inform the magician in front of him, and said: "Although this war cannot be said to have started because of you, you are also in the game as a promoter after all. So I've heard a rumor that maybe you should be aware of. ”
"Rumors? What's the matter? Lin asked.
"I heard that the Risa family's group of muddy balls have an intention on your technology to build an airship." The old duke said.
In fact, this rumor is very credible, and to crack the advantages of the Kaveh family, you can only find a way to move faster than a car. Airships are indeed an option, but they are not practical. Thinking about the cost of the airship and the speed of construction, compared to the condition of the car, Kavi Gong only felt that the Risa family was a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so he came up with such a method.
If the airship wants to become a formation, be able to carry legions, and play a role in the war, how long the cycle and how much investment it will take. This time was enough time to wipe out their family several times. However, you can't help but prevent the opponent from jumping off the wall, and try any move that looks promising. So the old duke warned the magician.
However, as soon as he heard that it was related to airships, Lin laughed. "If they only think of entrusting me to build an airship now, will it be too late?" And with my relationship with adults, I can't agree to help them. Thieves also pay attention to theft, and I, a trader, don't want to make money at both ends and offend at both ends. ”
"I know what you think. But if they have such a plan, of course, they will use the next three indiscriminate methods. How is it possible to go through the formal route. But as you said, it's too late, and the defeat of the Rissa family will not change. Informing you, just ask you to be careful not to fall into their trap. ”
"Understood."
"So how much do you think a warning like this is worth?" The old duke said with a smile on his face.
Of course, it is impossible to pretend to be stupid at this time. Although the information given by the old duke is the kind that he is not very worried about, it is the news that he didn't know before. Being willing to remind himself has a certain value, so Lin Zhi asked, "Oh, what do adults need?" ”
"Since there is no way to borrow money from the bank, you can always help with an idea in this matter." Kavi Gong turned the conversation back to his original destination.
Lin said: "If you only come up with ideas, of course it's no problem. When my lord came to me during this kind of war, I guess I knew the benefits of dealing with the goddess of gold coins. Although I didn't do it immediately, I plan to build a small bank next to the car center in the future, and the scale does not need to be like the one next to the technology guild, mainly for the use of people in the center, but also for people nearby. ”
"Oh, I thought you'd limit it to just six of those under construction."
"How is it possible, I have to find a way to help the goddess of gold coins promote the bank to the whole world. It's just that Ruth has to go one step at a time, and things have to come one by one. From this standpoint, I also hope that your lordship will also set up a bank in the territory of the Kaveh family. It can be built or renovated. At that time, as long as you ask His Majesty Ke Yin to consecrate the Great Holy Emblem, you can use it nearby. You don't have to travel thousands of miles to the holy city to use it. ”
"Oh, you mean I can build a bank for the family?" The old duke asked.
Lin shook his head and said, "No, no, no, this won't work." Lin explained: "If you don't want to queue up, you can set up a VIP area inside the bank, which is exclusively for you to visit or for people within your family. But other places still need to be opened to the outside world. After all, it is a matter of faith in Her Majesty the Goddess, and if you prevent others from using the bank, you will have an enmity with that Majesty. ”
For human beings, blocking people's wealth is like killing their parents; For the gods, it is to break off his faith, and the enmity is also very great.
Although whether he is willing to let the holy emblem of the goddess of gold coins play the role of a bank, it is all in Ke Yin's thoughts. But Lin Ke had advised the goddess to beware of the privileged class monopolizing the banks and profiting from them
Without saying too many operational tricks, Lin Guang thought of a point, the nobles built the bank in their castle; Even more direct, send people to block the door of the bank to collect taxes. Those who wanted to deposit money or exchange money had to 'tax' the nobles before they could enter the bank. In the long run, who would dare to go to the bank. There are fewer people who use it, and the power of faith that Ke Yin can get will also be less.
Just mentioning that, that Majesty will not do it. Those who did not want to open their banks to the outside world, or promised not to make small moves, all of them were given back tickets. Although the latter is difficult to guarantee and define, the request to establish a family-only bank, like the former, is absolutely impossible to agree to at this stage.
Perhaps, in the future, after the banks are all over the world, it is not impossible for some wealthy families to build small banks and serve the family members exclusively. But now is the time for expansion, and if the demands of those in power are met, they will no longer be able to contribute to the needs of the common people.
In a society divided by class, it is normal to think only about 'one's own people' regardless of the overall situation. Because in their eyes, the class to which their own people belong is the overall situation.
However, there are loopholes in this restriction that can be circumvented. To put it simply, a bank is covered, at least a dozen windows. The privileged class can't use it all the time, but if they don't want to queue up, they just need to keep one or two windows to wait, and the others can be open to the public. In this way, His Majesty's resistance will be much reduced, and there will be room for negotiation.
In fact, it is to compromise the requirements of the two parties, find a way that can take care of both sides, and driven by interests, no one will forcefully refuse such a request.
The old duke did not blindly trust such a suggestion. After all, he didn't know how much weight the magician in front of him had in the so-called bank. So he asked, "Is what you said feasible?" I've heard a lot of complaints from the forums that the Goddess of Gold is too demanding. ”
"Ha, the so-called harshness means not obeying the wishes of those people. That kind of person, it's okay to bully his own people and his subordinates, why don't you see them complaining that His Majesty the Emperor is too harsh? They can't get a goddess to do their bidding, and it's not my fault. Lin said with a smile.
But that kind of tone didn't seem to solve the old duke's worries and doubts. After thinking about it, Lin simply said, "If the adults are still not at ease, then just say no to His Majesty Ke Yin." ”
"How do I ......?"
The old duke wanted to complain, so he watched the magician in front of him take out a palm-sized puppet from the hood behind him. The shape of the doll is two balls and four sticks, barely looking humanoid. He also made the puppet stand, clenched his fists in his chest, and prayed silently.
Just look at the appearance of this puppet body, and change into the appearance of a halfling woman. But the size of the doll has not changed, and it is still only the height of a palm. But it was alive, as if it were a real creature, not a clumsy puppet made by a magician.
Grand Duke Kaveh looked at him in amazement.
"Yo, boy, what's the matter with calling me? I won't want to work for nothing again, but I'll help you change it for new dollars. Ke Yin turned his head and saw an old face full of astonishment. The halfling goddess pointed behind her and asked, "Who is this old boy?" ”
