"Huh." The old emperor smiled and said, "Seeing that you appear here so skillfully, I must think that you have been here before, and have memorized the location here." It seems that Lord Tripwood is even more powerful than you are rumored to be. Are you willing to serve the Empire? ”

Faced with the solicitation, Lin responded with a smile: "Why not." In my hometown, there is a saying that men do not betray, but the price is not enough; It's not that women can't cheat, it's just that the temptation is not enough. Everything has a price, even those that swear to call priceless. If someone disagrees, it just means that the price given is not high enough. Of course, whether others are willing to pay too high a price is another matter. But that's called a deal, isn't it? Even if the deal fails, benevolence and righteousness are still there. ”

"And what about your price? Can the empire afford it? The old emperor said tentatively with interest.

Without thinking, Lin said, "Give me a magic tower, and I can be a cow and a horse." ”

"Hehe, Your Excellency has offered a price that no one dares to agree to. It seems that the idea of soliciting Your Excellency has to be abandoned. So what kind of price do you need? In the face of refusal, the old emperor did not speak ill of him, but changed his direction and asked again.

Shaking his head, Lin said with an exaggerated expression: "It's a pity, I can't think of anything other than the magic tower. Money or treasures, either I don't need them, or I don't need too much. ”

"Oh, yes. Then I won't lose an opportunity to ask for advice. The old emperor said jokingly. But the expression on his face did not relax in the slightest, but stared sharply at the person in front of him.

Of course, Lin could feel the pressure from his sight, and besides, he would appear here, not because the gold coin goddess was pulling the strings from it. If you don't give face to the emperor, it is not the same as not giving face to the goddess. If you do this, you will only be ugly afterwards. So someone snorted and said, "Actually, if you think about it seriously, there may be one thing that I can't do unless Your Majesty." If Your Majesty agrees, then I will know everything about your question. ”

"Oh, tell me."

Lin said bluntly, "I need a chance to issue an empire-level decree. ”

Such a request made the old emperor frown. He pondered the purpose of the magician and said, "Your Excellency, why do you need such an opportunity? ”

"It's not obvious. When I need the Empire to pass a decree, I don't even know who to talk to about it, and I don't even know who to talk to about it. If the time comes, I take the liberty of coming to His Majesty and making such a request, and it may be best to think of me as a madman. It's no surprise to have a thousand-mile chase. But if your Majesty agrees today, I won't have a good reason to come to my door after that. Lin said with a smile.

However, for such a thing, the old emperor did not let go easily, and considered it himself. Seeing this, Lin said again: "And Your Majesty, what I want is just an opportunity, not what I say, the empire must accept all the requirements." Of course, I can also accept that as long as you are willing to give me a chance, whether or not the Empire will carry out this decree in the end, I will consider that you have fulfilled your agreement with me, and will not make a second request. Are you satisfied with such a commitment? ”

The old emperor finally spoke, and said, "Your Excellency the Great Magician, can you guarantee that your request will not harm the interests of anyone in the empire?" ”

"Haha, Your Majesty, how can such a thing be done. As with any government decree or law, while it is for the sake of some people, it is bound to harm the interests of others. How to choose between these is the wisdom of politicians. Where is there such a good thing that everyone involved can benefit from it. Even if you go to rob the gold and distribute it to the people of the whole empire, there is an unlucky ghost whose gold is robbed, right? ”

"That's true." After thinking about it again, compared to what he wanted to know, the old emperor chose to compromise. He said, "Okay, I agreed. You have received my promise that my heir will keep this promise even if I am unable to fulfill it while I am alive. So, Lord Magician, what can you tell me about the bank? ”

Seeing that the emperor pointed out his own question, Lin did not answer directly, but asked, "Your Majesty, in what capacity are you asking this question?" ”

"Oh, is there anything different?" The old emperor asked curiously.

"The same sword, the meaning it represents in the hands of a fledgling young man, in the hands of a father with a family, in the eyes of a general, in the eyes of a city lord, king, or even emperor, though it seems to be the same thing. But what they are considering, will it be the same? I guess not. Banks, that is, the priesthood of the goddess of gold coins, in the eyes of people of different heights, of course, also have their own directions of concern. That's why I ask, Your Majesty, in what capacity did you ask me this question? ”

"Holy Gwana? Ator Empire, 35th Emperor, Armin? Cazarnia V, hereby asks His Excellency the Grand Magician Tripwood about the bank. After officially announcing his identity and position, the old emperor said, "I know Ricardo? Kaveh, that old guy did something, but there was something I couldn't figure out. Including the function of banking, it seems that it is not as simple as saving money and withdrawing money. I need to know more to make the bank work within the empire. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, as you wish." Lin said this, but there was no follow-up.

After a moment, the impatient Emperor showed a slight anger and said, "Magician, are you teasing me?" ”

Lin was not afraid of the emperor's eyes full of majesty and anger, and said with a straight face: "The imperial technique is never lightly taught. Your Majesty, are you sure you want so many people to hear it? "With a sweep of his eyes, there were many 'unrelated' people in the small hall.

Realizing his mistake, the old emperor was not annoyed, but more interested in what the magician might say next. He didn't even care if it would be dangerous to be alone with this magician, so he waved his hand and said, "You all stand down." But he pointed to Efren and said, "Stay, child." If you want to do something for me, you need to listen to what follows. ”

The old emperor turned his head again and shouted, "Jomer! ”

The tower-like figure of the Emperor's true confidant, the commander of the Guard, stepped out of the shadows. A formidable warrior in full-body armor, he made no secret of his unique deterrent power, but behaved obediently waiting three steps behind the emperor.

Perhaps the footsteps were quite familiar, and the old emperor did not turn his head to confirm whether the person appeared, so he directly ordered: "Let all the guards go out and stay by the small hall, and no one can enter." Trespassers, kill! And then you stay. ”

The emperor's instructions were quite clear, so the commander of the personal guard only waved his big hand, and the others should pack up and go. It didn't take much time, and the small hall that the emperor used to receive his private ministers was left only with Emperor Armin, the monk Efron of the goddess of gold coins, the leader of the emperor's personal guard, Yomer, and the protagonist of this meeting, a magician, a total of four people.

Perhaps someone's height and vision make it impossible for him to lay out a layout like the one designed by the Duke of Kavi for his own territory, and certainly not be able to plan some details for an empire. But once experienced as a mouth cannon keyboard warrior, isn't the best thing to do is to brag nonsense. Not to mention the experience of the entire history of the earth, at this time, someone is not fighting alone!

"Money, as a widely recognized medium of exchange, certainly affects the development of a country in the way it is used."

As the beginning of the above, Lin did his best to fool the emperor of an empire...... It should be said to depict a bright future, as well as possible economic development.

These futures are not necessarily good, but also bad, and even evil. Lin didn't care if he was neutral and didn't have any emotions when he was talking.

As for whether telling these things to the emperor of an empire will cause any bad consequences. To be honest, Lin didn't know and didn't dare to guarantee it, but that didn't mean he shouldn't say it.

It's like before I crossed over, I often heard some economists make pessimistic predictions. The results of the incident proved that these experts and scholars were either blind or had done a bad job in their studies, and anyway, none of the predictions came true. If you follow their predicted trend to make financial investments, you will only lose a butt.

Putting aside these people as the black hands of some capital for the time being, fooling retail investors in the market. In fact, when these experts and scholars warn, as long as they are normal, they will try to improve the defects that have been named, and avoid the predicted tragic future. In other words, the environment has changed, and the future predicted by those scholars is of course null and void.

No one should know that there is a wall in front of them, but they also want to try their own heads, so they have to hit the wall.

In fact, this is also an example of what some people who study prophecy think is that when the prophecy is spoken, the future is already changing.

Lin was also not worried about whether an emperor would be frightened to simply ban all actions of the bank and exclude the influence of the goddess of gold coins when he heard the 'prophecy' he had spoken.

Just as the sword in the hands of the wicked will play a different role in the hands of the good. Very few people choose to give up holding a sword because it might hurt them, or because they feel that they will do something bad if they get it.

As an emperor, how can he think that he can't control a sword and control the two financial instruments of money and banks? Unless you give up today, it is for tomorrow's greater plan. But when it comes to the sudden appearance of new money and banks, not many people have time to plan otherwise. Because of this, an emperor will turn to a magician for help.

However, just as Lin didn't expect in advance, Grand Duke Kaveh's layout of his territory was something he couldn't do with the eyes of an ordinary person. Lin also couldn't imagine what an emperor, especially an emperor with quite a lot of means, would do when he knew what he was saying.

However, all that the Goddess of Gold and the World Tree need is the development of the bank. As long as the people in power use this tool without touching the bottom line of the first two, they certainly have no reason to refuse. And this is also Lin's attitude.
