Six million one hundred and seventy thousand, gold coins.

Truth be told, for a moment, Duke Christine thought it might be true, but as a well-informed nobleman, his sanity could clearly discern for him what the number meant.

Because the kingdom did not control the economy well in the early days of its establishment, and the gold coin production process was relatively weak, the Laiyin gold coin was not particularly valuable compared to the starlight gold coin, and the exchange ratio was usually between 1 to 13 to 15, and in a compromise, this money was almost equivalent to more than 4 million starlight gold coins.

And these gold coins were enough to bribe the increasingly corrupt center of the empire to buy from them a piece of land with a population of about 7,000 peasants, a population of more than 40,000, an area of 20 square kilometers, and a viscount title.

In addition to this, the remaining money could pull up an elite army of two hundred soldiers, armed to the teeth, and support them for another three months.

61.7 million is not a small number, at least if Duke Christine wants to come up with this money, he will probably have to raid all the clans' homes.

So, even he, the duke, can't come up with the money, and Corina actually said that she earned this number?

"Corinna." The duke's voice calmed down, "Have you been deceived?" ”

Corina was slightly stunned, a little surprised by her father's reply, and before she could explain, Duke Christine sighed.

He took the girl's stunned look as an affirmation of his own judgment, so he said solemnly, "I remember I told you that everything you do needs to be considered in advance and evidenced with facts. ”

"I don't know who wrote you a blank check, but this number, you can use your brain........"

"Click-"

Corina slapped a stack of paper-style parchment on the desk in front of the Duke: "I'm sorry, but I may have used a slightly inappropriate word. ”

"I should say that a fraction of the cash plus various assets can be worth 61.7 million gold coins - if you don't believe it, see for yourself."

“.......”

Duke Christine picked up the papers on the table in a daze.

"This place, I remember, seems to have such a manor........ I've been to this shop before........ Seals, seals are actually real......."

It took Duke Christine about an hour to scan all the documents that Corinne threw out.

Then he came to a conclusion that was outrageous to him.

It's true!

Corinna, she really brought back more than 60 million gold coins to Christine!!

The corners of the duke's lips finally curled up wildly uncontrollably.

He strode forward, grabbed his daughter's shoulder, and asked excitedly, "Corina, my daughter, my dearest....... So much money, oh my god you, how did you do it!! ”

Without waiting for Corina to reply, he let go of his hand again and jumped incoherently: "It's good, it's timely, with all the money you brought, we can finally stop being ridiculed as 'the poorest duke'....... Corina, come with me to meet your uncles later, I want you to be complimented by everyone in the family!! ”

"......." Corina didn't speak, just looked at her father, and suddenly felt that he was a little ridiculous.

His behavior reminded her of the scene when she first got the money.

........

After receiving the notice, Corina came to the jewelry store, looked at the young man lying lazily behind the boss's chair, and asked suspiciously, "The money has arrived?" So fast? ”

"yes." Lynn's eyes lifted slightly, and he chuckled and said, "No wonder he can become a big businessman, neat and generous." ”

"Generous?" Corina's eyes lit up slightly, and she was curious, "How much money did he give?" A million, two million? ”

The corners of Lynn's lips twitched, and she said with a smile: "You are also a big lady, why is your imagination so expensive?" ”

"I'm the eldest lady because my elders are powerful, but what does it have to do with me if they are powerful? Can't I be poor if they're so good - and they're not very rich. Corina retorted a few words and continued to ask: "Don't hang my appetite, tell me quickly, how much is it?" ”

"Sixty-one million or seven million."

"Oh, more than sixty million........ "Corina's smiling face suddenly froze, "Ten thousand?!!! ”

"60 million ?!!!!"

Lynn looked at her with wide eyes, looking like she had never seen the world, and couldn't help laughing: "I just said that I was poor, and now I don't put the extra 1.7 million in my eyes?" ”

If it had been before the number jumped out, Corina would have retorted to Lynn, but now, she was almost completely immersed in the shock of the huge number.

Sixty million, sixty million.

When she and Charlotte went to help others before, she had already roughly understood that the annual living expenses of ordinary people in Catalena were generally about 600 gold coins per person, and the family expenses were larger, and a family of three might be about 1,000 coins.

Sixty million gold coins are enough to supply 100,000 ordinary people to live well and drink for a year without working or making money, and can make 60,000 families of three worry-free - and it is also the most prosperous and expensive royal capital in the entire Laiyin Kingdom.

In remote areas, that number could have multiplied several times.

The ethereal nature of the huge numbers made Corina feel that the world in front of her was becoming a little unreal, so she hurriedly held on to the bookcase with the papers next to her, her eyes fixed on Lynn.

"You're not lying to me again, are you?"

Lynn didn't answer, just pointed to the place she was holding: "Everything is there, you can see for yourself." ”

Corina glanced at where Lynn was pointing, reached out and looked at what was inside, and silently moved away from the bookshelf.

I always feel that this seemingly ordinary cabinet has suddenly become noble.

With a sigh of relief, her excited trembling hands calmed back to their normal state, and Corina was about to put the information back and ask.

"The money is here now, and then, you're ready to ......."

"What are you going to do?" Lynn watched her movements and asked suspiciously, "What are you putting it back for?" ”

"Huh?" Corina was stunned, "Don't put it back....... Have you customized a special magic safe? ”

".......," Lynn said with a smile, "I don't have a safe here, but you should have a lot of them." ”

"My family?"

The girl seemed to understand something.

She looked at what she had in her hand, then at Lynn, then at the papers, back and forth several times, and finally settled on one thing in Lynn's smiling gaze.

"You say, you want me to bring all this back?"

"That's right."

"All?"

"All."

"Are you willing?!"

"Why can't you bear it?"

"........," said Corinna, who was silent for a moment, "I'll tell you the truth, even if you give it to me, I'm not too embarrassed to ask for it." ”

"The original plan was made by you, the details were arranged by you, and Your Highness was also invited by you, but now you let me take all the results........ I can't do that. ”

Lynn was a little surprised by her words, and couldn't help laughing: "With such thin skin, he is not a qualified nobleman. ”

"Outside of the nobility, I am also a knight." "Honesty and fairness are part of the rules of knighthood, and at least for now, I can't get rid of them. ”

“........”

Lynn stared at her for a long moment, and Corina silently looked into his eyes.

It was one of the few things she wanted to stick to.

Because she knows that sooner or later, this trait will be worn out in social interactions.

She has the dual identity of knight and nobleman, but with the passage of time, she will eventually fall to the side of the noble.

So, while there is still time, she hopes to keep what she has for a little longer.

Silence could not be maintained for long, and Lynn's surging laughter finally broke the silence.

"Okay, I see." He tapped his fingertips on the table and said, "Since you don't want to take it to yourself, then I hope that when the time comes, you will bring back my share in its entirety." ”

"Your share? Bring it back? "Corina is a little confused.

"yes." Lynn squinted slightly, and said, "You must get all this money back first, because it is your stepping stone and stepping stone, and the higher the number, the easier it will be for you to climb up and smash open the door that you won't let in before." ”

"But, after knocking on the door, you can't leave it all there."

"The amount of money is the only capital you have in your house now, and if you hand it all over and give it all away, you will be able to revert to nothing........ I think it will be a long time before the next big boss appears. ”

"So, you have to keep some of it on your own hands – it's like feeding a cat too much at once, or they'll not recognize you as their owner when they're full."

“........”

Corina now understood.

With a slight groan, she asked, "What should this number be?" ”

"The more the merrier." Lynn said, "As for how much you can have, it depends on your ability." ”

"-Can you do it?"

Corina clenched her hands, "I'm not sure, but I'll do my best." ”

Lynn smiled and nodded, "I trust you." ”

"Huh?" Corina looked at the trust in his eyes and was a little surprised, "You trust people too." ”

"Why don't I trust people?" Lynn asked rhetorically, "Otherwise, why would I say it's all for you?" ”

"Do you really think that I would put all the money in front of you when I didn't believe in your ability, character, or character—it was only in my hands."

“.......”

Corina was silent.

At this time, should she be happy to be trusted, or sad that she was seen through?

Corina didn't know it before, but when she saw her father dancing happily because of the money and holding her up for her uncles and uncles to look at her in amazement, she felt that Lynn's eyes might be more acceptable to her.

“....... All right. ”

The duke, after boasting to his siblings that his daughter had brought a huge sum of money, did not respond to the question of how did the money come from, which did not matter, and looked at his daughter with burning eyes.

"Corina, this money is what you rely on your ability to get, so its distribution rights ...... I'll leave it to you. ”

When the words fell, Christine looked at Corina with green eyes almost at the same time—except for the Duke herself.

'Corina is my daughter, and she will divide it, and we will benefit the most. ’

The Duke smiled with almost certainty, but the smile quietly disappeared when Corina said the next word.

"If I were to assign it, I would think it would be ......."

Corinna's eyes lifted slightly.

"It's better if they all belong to me."

........

When the atmosphere in Christine's house gradually became hot, the palace in the distance was exceptionally calm.

Moreover, the calm is a bit excessive.

"Bang-"

Charlotte threw the hanger onto the bed, took the twenty-seventh dress she had turned out, trotted to the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and gestured to herself.

"This one....... It doesn't seem like much........"

The female officer sighed, put away the hanger, turned her head, and looked at her princess with some headaches.

Although this phenomenon also appeared a few days ago, it was only selected after struggling with seven sets at that time, and today it ....... It's a little stunned.

Sighing, the female officer asked, "Your Highness, are you going out again tomorrow?" ”

"That's right." Charlotte didn't look back and said, "Karin, that friend of yours won't rest again tomorrow, will he?" ”

"Won't ......."

"Oh, that's good, if he rests again, I'll go and report it to my father and let him stand guard every day."

“........”

Kai Lin said that if he stood guard every day, it was estimated that your sneaking away would be revealed the next day.

After all, when people complain, they will say everything.

Of course, Charlotte just said it casually.

Her heart is still on how to choose her outfit.

"Kaylin." She looked back and said with some embarrassment, "Say, which one should I wear?" ”

"That's it."

Kailin looked expressionlessly pointing to a long gradient dress with sky blue on the top and pure white on the bottom, and Charlotte shook her head after thinking about it for a moment.

"No, it's too fancy and not quite suitable."

"So, this?"

This time it was a dress with a look, and the color matching was more serious, but Charlotte still refused.

"No, the color doesn't work."

"The color doesn't work?"

"That's right." Charlotte said, "Dark dresses aren't usually worn only at funerals, but tomorrow I'm going to a wedding, so how can I wear dark ones." ”

"Wedding scene?!" The female officer screamed, "You were going to sneak out and get married?!! ”

"What are you talking about!!" Charlotte hurriedly ran up to cover her mouth and looked around weakly, "You can't talk nonsense, you'll be scolded!" ”

“........”

The female officer silently looked at the crimson that flashed on the girl's face, and suddenly felt that her death might be near.

Fortunately, the girl finally explained to her that she was not going to the wedding, but to take a sneak peek at how others got married.

"That's good, that's good."

The female officer, who felt that she was swimming around on the edge of death, breathed a sigh of relief, and slapped her chest to stop her heart from moving so fast.

"Whew-"

After a few moments, she recovered, looked up again, and looked at the girl who continued to struggle with what to wear, and her heartbeat, which had calmed down, suddenly began to beat violently again.

Why....... There is always a sense of foreboding.
