"Are you crazy?!"

For the first time, Finn Drost showed a gaffe look, and looked at Katerina and the others in an extremely messy manner: "Citibank Bundesbank has no request to help you for free, and you actually refuse?!" ”

"You heard my answer." Katerina said.

"But it's a no-string-attached, interest-free loan! I don't know how many people covet it, don't you? Finn Droist said eagerly, "How can you defeat the aristocratic faction without our help?" This country is all in the palm of their hands! You don't want money.... How do I go back to the business?! ”

Before coming to the Romanov Kingdom, the old man of the Drost family repeatedly told him, and even gave him a death order, no matter what, he would lend the money to help Katerina ascend to the throne. Finn Drost thought the task was too easy to be challenging, after all, he came to visit with a lot of money, and it wasn't easy to keep the money?

Who doesn't love money?

Who doesn't need money?

But Katerina still refused, categorically, without doubt.

Looking at her determined eyes, Finn Drost was a little angry and wanted to say something, but the sudden sharp pain in his abdomen made his face change.

He covered his stomach and looked at the cabbage tea he had just drunk, his expression was extremely exciting.

"Mr. Drost, the toilet is in the third room on the left side of the door." Butler Lu Jin reminded him.

Click!

Finn Drost snatched the door out of the door and went straight to the bathroom.

"Uncle Hawke's invention is as strong as ever." Katerina said.

"It's obviously because he has a bad stomach..."

"Dad, why should we refuse his funding?"

Yunia retracted her gaze from staring at the cabbage cake and asked curiously, "We are short of money now, isn't it a good thing that someone is willing to fund it?" ”

"There is no such thing as pie in the sky." Ma Wei touched his daughter's head and said softly: "Free, it is always the most expensive, and the price will be claimed in a place you don't know." ”

"Yunia doesn't understand..."

"If we accept the funding from Citibank Commonwealth Bank, we can indeed relieve the urgent need, but what about later?"

Ma Wei fiddled with the pocket watch in his hand and explained slowly: "Such a large sum of money cannot come out of thin air, and the matter of Citibank Bundesbank funding His Royal Highness Katerina's ascension to the throne will be exposed sooner or later, at that time, if they make any request, agree or refuse?" ”

"If it's an unreasonable request, it's good to refuse!" Yunia said.

"Having said that, have you ever thought that in the eyes of the world, Citibank once helped us unconditionally, but when they asked for payment, they were refused, will Her Royal Highness Katerina be regarded as a treacherous person? Even if she came up with the terms she signed today, no one would believe her, because everyone knows that Citibank never trades at a loss, they are businessmen, they are capital, and the world has a clear definition of them. ”

"It's not the terms that are terrible, it's the perception of you that is terrible, and if Her Highness Katerina is regarded as a treacherous person, how can she hold on to the truth?" In the eyes of the world, what is the difference between her and King Paul I? In time, when the Romanov kingdom is in crisis again, who else will want to help a treacherous person? Today's greed will lose tomorrow's credibility. ”

"Moreover, what Citibank promised was to borrow money from Her Royal Highness Katerina, which is a private contract, and once Her Royal Highness Katerina, as the leader, agrees, will the subordinates who follow her regard Citibank as their own? If even the leader accepts a gift from others, what will the subordinates do? Wouldn't they, who accepted bribes from the Citibank Federal Bank, become the next batch of aristocrats? ”

"The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, this head can't be opened."

Yunia grew her mouth in surprise: "In other words, the unconditional funding agreed to by the Citibank Commonwealth Bank is actually more plotted?" ”

"That's right." Ma Wei nodded: "This is a gift from the devil, it seems to be gratuitous, but in fact, the price is greater, and the loss is more!" They want to corrupt the will of Her Highness Katerina, make her continue to borrow, fall into the abyss, invisibly, and get rid of the future enemy. ”

"Priest .... I shouldn't be as superficial as you think. Katerina couldn't help but say: "Of course I understand the stakes, but we really need money, otherwise the food will not last for a few days." ”

"I'll figure it out when it comes to money."

"What can you do?"

Ma Wei smiled: "Break up the enemy's alliance from within. ”

"Are you sure?" Katerina frowned: "Now that group of nobles and the Wisdom God Cult wear a pair of pants, it's not so easy to make them feel different. ”

"The aristocracy pursues interests, so it is good to start from the aspect of interests, and if you want to do this, you need enough information... Need the help of Fat Orange Black. ”

Ma Wei suddenly remembered that the fat orange and the little black, they had gone out to gather the stray cats in Tyumen City for a day and a night, and they hadn't come back by the afternoon, could it be that something had happened?

No way... Gotta go back and see.

Bidding farewell to Duke Hawke, Ma Wei and the others took dozens of catties of cabbage and embarked on the way back.

Finn Drost, who had just come out of the toilet, looked at the carriage that was drifting away, and was about to catch up with it, when his stomach hurt again, and it was more urgent and more intense than the last time...

He had no choice but to jump into the field opposite the manor, and after a few minutes, he almost collapsed, crawled out of the field, and said to the housekeeper Lu Jin: "No... Trouble me... Call a doctor... If you pull it down again, you're going to die..."

"Those quacks better stop screaming." The housekeeper Lu Jin helped him up and said, "I'll bring you a cup of hot tea, don't be dehydrated at this time, just get through it." ”

"You're really... Experienced...," said Finn Drost, gritting his teeth.

.......................................

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Mavi and his family returned to Tyumen and found that a lot of wooden frames had been erected on the street.

In the half day they left, Communication, Christopher, and Sarina recruited many workers, moved some wood from outside the city, and began to build a temporary wooden shed to protect them from the wind and rain.

At this rate, Mavi estimates that the wooden hut will be set up tomorrow and tomorrow, and the wheat flour will be baked into bread and distributed to the refugees by tomorrow morning at the latest.

"Communication! Is Fat Orange Black back? ”

Back at the church, Ma Wei immediately found the communication that was recording the worker's name and asked about the condition of Chubby Tangerine and Black.

"Nope."

The communication looked up and exclaimed, "yes, why haven't they come back yet?" Nothing will happen! ”

"Do you want me to send someone to find it?" Katerina asked.

"Don't bother."

Edward, who had gone out shopping, walked in through the gate and said in a calm voice, "I saw them in the afternoon." ”

"Where?"

"Not in town." Edward said, "Fat Orange Black went into the forest with a bunch of cats, and I don't know what to do, maybe I'm in a meeting." ”
