，

Los couldn't help but be stunned, and saw the white and chubby boy in the army, freezing noon. He was a little nervous in his heart, and secretly thought: What is going on? Could it really be that before coming, those comrades-in-arms said that this was just a scam?

But

But that note is the autograph of the Grand Duke Julius, although "the county official is not as good as the current management", but he is a dignified Grand Duke, is it not even his signature to use?

Thinking of this, Carlos was much nervous. I felt the dampness in my palms, and sweat came out.

He settled down and continued to think: if he really can't get the land, he will have to go back to Constantinople and appeal to the Grand Duke. Beg him to do it for himself

At the same time, he also wondered in his heart: Who is this fat man? Sitting in such a luxurious office, he is also called the chairman.

He stood at the table" and thought crankily.

Carlos didn't know that this matter was not easy to say, if it was not simple. But it's not complicated.

Archduke Julian saw the academy selling their captured Almohad warships in the same way as cabbage when he was in Maple Leaf Danlin. At that time, I was excited. Pretend to be a big guy at the auction and be a tyrant. Dozens of battleships were bought with a large sum.

However, although he bought the battleship cheaply, it also cost more than two million gold coins. And the maple leaf danlin used to be poor. Plus I've dealt with all the empires. Many of them have worked in government agencies in various countries.

Those ruffians are all old fritters, and they know how strict the bureaucratic style of those uncles is. If you dare to let them pay in installments, you may not be able to get the money after 5,000 years.

In addition, although there are many warships in the hands of the Maple Leaf Danlin people, they are also the emperor's daughters, so they don't have to worry about selling them at all. Therefore, they sell at a low price, but they are all in cash.

As soon as the Archduke Julius saw the ships, he followed the women of the jewelry store, and patronized them with the pleasure of buying them. Completely oblivious to their actual ability to pay.

Although Catherine was the governor of the East, at that time, because the Grand Duke and Lorraine did not like each other, they were caught in a dilemma, and they were worried, so they didn't have the heart to care about this kind of thing, in the eyes of the girl in love, it was not a national event at all.

Archduke Julius and his old man paid the money and took back the battleship in a hurry. After returning to Constantinople, this was revealed, due to the outflow of a large amount of cash. The Eastern Province is already in the midst of an economic crisis.

And what makes this grandfather even more angry is that Catherine's girl is outgoing, and when she has a lover, she forgets her father. Except for some heavy decisions. She didn't care about the government affairs of the Eastern Province at all. He had to deal with it personally, and those complicated jobs made his old man very big.

Later, the people of Lorraine hugged Almohad, and the treasure alone was filled with three battleships.

And that money. They had it all in their own pockets, and it didn't even occur to them to give their poor old man, who was in financial trouble

Now, Catherine and the others are in a big swing in the south, and at last they think of their poor daddy.

And because of the lack of money in his hands, the Grand Duke was forced to be anxious, and he also started to use his crooked brains without a teacher.

When he gave the soldiers retirement money and year-end bonuses, he replaced the huge amount of money with the land of Nai An Province.

In other words, with this method, he not only did not pay bonuses to the soldiers, but also deducted the money that should have been given to the province of Nai'an to buy land.

At the same time, he also carried out large-scale power rent-seeking through the approval power in his hands. If you want to buy land in Neyan, no problem. Pay 32,000 first, and I'll give you a note. And then talk about the rest

For this alone, the old guy received a soft hand when he received money. When I rested at night, I had cramps all the time, and I was so fast that I was crazy.

The most striking thing is that the money from the local nobles, who bought the land in Naian, was also widely appropriated by this old fellow.

In the process, although the province of Nai An sold the land, it did not get even a dime. And in the process, he was treated as a donkey, and he was a donkey who worked for nothing. The chairman of the Flying Eagle Company is not a fool, and it is natural that he will be on fire.

He had a few fights with Catherine, forcing the powerful governor to get the money back.

However, Catherine, as the governor of the East, knew better than the Grand Duke the financial situation of the Eastern Province, and had been sloppy with him. Fully wield the style of an excellent bureaucrat, drag it if you can, pretend to be a migraine if you can't drag it, and Leo snorted angrily.

However, Grandpa Leo did not eat dry food for nothing, and later he forced Catherine to reduce the preferential tax rate of the Flying Eagle Company in the Eastern Province by another three percentage points, and asked for a hundred years to remain unchanged.

On that occasion, Catherine readily agreed. That refreshing Cheng dù made Leo almost can't believe it. So much so that he wondered if there was some conspiracy in this, and it was not until later that the poor boy realized how big he had dug up for himself

Carlos didn't know what was going on, and when he saw that the fat man was burning all the time, he wondered worriedly: "Will I be able to do it?"

The clerk saw his concern, and couldn't help but smile at him, then leaned down and whispered to Leo, "Your Excellency, what do you say?

The boy froze, then became even angrier.

He glared at the big black and white eyes, which were extremely smart, and shouted again in a louder voice, "Go back? Are you crazy? I really want to go back, and the old guy will have to let me eat bamboo shoots and fried meat again? Will you be beaten for me then?"

Carlos listened to him and suddenly came to his senses. The boy: "Isn't that fat man the son of Archduke Julius, Grandpa Leo?"

No wonder at such an age, he can be the chairman

"He hurriedly took a step forward, carving, to bend down and salute.

Leo gave him an angry look and waved his hand. Said: "Alright, alright." Don't engage in these nonsense. It's you people who are in trouble. Not only did he not give me money, but he also asked me to take care of it, and he threatened me to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots at every turn

But you are all your own people, and I can't help but take care of them."

He chattered in fragments as he picked up the pen and wrote something on a piece of paper. After writing it, he handed it to Carlos and said, "Okay." Take this slip and go to Karin City. The land there is already regulated.

Once there, all you have to do is take it to the manager of Eagle Real Estate, and he will add your name to the land division book. ”

Leo paused at this point. Then he added: "Wen Qi also served as a soldier under the old man before, and knowing that you are a soldier, he will definitely take care of you." ”

Carlos looked at the strip, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out and took it. And hide it closely.

Leo tilted his head, looked him up and down, saw that he only had one piece of luggage, thought for a moment, and then asked, "By the ......way, how much money do you have on hand?" These are a lot of money.

Seeing that it is about to be spring sowing, people are wrong for a while, and people are wrong for a year.

Don't be able to understand this sentence? Don't be at that time, if you miss the spring sowing, you will be blind this year. ”

Carlos didn't expect that this grandfather was not very old, but he knew a lot. When it comes to farming, I was stunned.

"Looks like you're gone. Really, you think that with just two fists, you can make crops grow in the field?" Leo said, and couldn't help but sigh, and then said, "Forget it, I'm losing money anyway, so I'll lose it to the end." ”

He paused for a moment, then lowered his head and wrote a few words on a piece of paper, handed it to Carlos, and said, "You take this note and go to the Flying Eagle Bank." They offer a loan there.

Remember to secretly mention your veteran's status to the manager who handled it, there are discounts. Especially against our soldiers in Constantinople. But this kind of thing can't be said explicitly, and it will be very troublesome to let others know.

After taking the money, don't go to the market in the west of the city, which is run by the government, and it is only a stuff for people. Go to the agricultural and animal husbandry market in the east of the city. Pick the animals from them first, and then buy a caravan.

Remember, there's a lot of competition over there, and now it's common to buy a car with a harness for livestock.

Once you've bought those things, go buy farm tools. In this way, as long as you pull the car, you can buy and go as you go. There is also less money for delivery. ”

Carlos listened to him talk like an old businessman, and he was almost dizzy.

Leo continued, "It's in Karin City. Find Wen Qi and explain your situation to him. Let him sign you a lump sum agricultural technician.

Remember, don't be afraid to spend money. When farming, there are agricultural technicians on the side to help guide them. Like what. If you're sick or something, you don't have to worry about it at all. And you can also get a lot more food. Got it?"

He looked up and saw Carlos looking at him stunned, and then sighed and said, "Hey, come back to your senses, did you hear what I said? ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his fat hand and shook it in front of Carlos's eyes.

Carlos came to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes." A grandfather. I... I heard that. ”

Leo raised his nose at the moment, looked at him suspiciously, and said, in Catherine's own voice, "Oh, really? ”

Carlos saw Leo's eyes, and suddenly had the feeling of being tested by the teacher when he was in school, and said, "Yes, yes." ”

He settled down and continued: "Yes, go to the Flying Eagle Bank first and ask for a loan. Remember to mention the status of a veteran. When the net said this, he immediately saw Leo's eyes flashing with the excitement unique to catching someone's sore feet, and hurriedly added: "By the way, you must mention it secretly." ”

Leo snorted in disappointment.

Carlos continued: "Then go to the agricultural market in the east of the city, buy livestock, buy caravans. And there is also a harness to give. Then go buy farm tools. Finally, go to Karin City to draw land. When the land is cleared, sign another agricultural technician. Am I right?"

Leo listened to what he said word for word, so that he couldn't find fault with it, he was a little disappointed in his heart at the moment, waved his hand, and said disdainfully: "Almost." That's it. ”

Pinyi only knew Leo after testing, but after touching and seducing all the white liver elbow continents... The boy's temperament is no different from those younger brothers and sisters in the family, so he also smiled faintly and said, "Grandpa Xie."

"Chairman. Leo glared at him angrily and corrected, "Remember to call me chairman." Really, I'm too lazy to get angry with you guys

He paused for a moment and said, "Is there anything else?" If not, you have to hurry up and do it." ”

Carlos said yes, then bowed to Leo again before retreating with the clerk.

It's just that before he went out, he looked back again, but now Leo picked up the thick book of "International Finance and Management" with a smile, and Carlos read it and was immediately in awe.

He almost threw himself on the five bodies that the fat man wanted to worship: look at people, at such an age. I actually read such a thick, profound tome. And seize the time to study seriously, and don't waste every minute and every second. He is truly worthy of being the future emperor of the empire.

Just follow him, as the official propaganda says. There will certainly be a bright future for the Empire.

At that moment, Leo slowly, uh, slowly pulled out a pictorial from there. Then leaning back, a pair of short legs on stilts very comfortably, and set up on the edge of the table.

Then he stretched out his tongue and licked his thumb and wet his fingers, and then rubbed it vigorously on the pictorial and looked at it with relish.

At this time, the sun shone in through the window, and the bright pillar of light shone on the side of his face, with a hint of a smile on the tender face that could be blown and broken, and the white and red were red. One can almost see a kind of "happy childhood." Something to come.

Carloston breathed a sigh of relief: this is what a real kid should do.

Just listening to the official propaganda of "what a day is a thousand opportunities, waste sleep and forget to eat, heaven and talent, unprecedented thinkers in 5,000 years, political zhì family" and the like, people will have a strange sense of oppression when they listen to it, and almost think that it is some kind of monster.

Maybe it's the same as in the Ultraman story, an alien monster is pretending to be an alien monster who wants to conquer the earth in this way.

Carlos didn't say anything more, just gently exited the door, and then silently closed the door from the outside.

Leo flipped through two pages of the pictorial and suddenly remembered something. He threw the pictorial, then jumped up and rushed out the door.

He opened the door and shouted outside, "Carlos, I almost forgot the most important thing. When you applied for a loan, you mentioned my name and said that I introduced you, do you know?"

Carlos was leaving, and when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and although he didn't understand the reason, he still agreed.

Leo nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go and get busy with you." Good bye

After saying that, he turned around and went to look at his pictorial again.

Carlos looked at the clerk beside him suspiciously, and asked, "What does Grandpa mean by this?" Why do you mention his name when you apply for a loan? Is there any secret in this?"

The clerk looked at the door of Leo's office and smiled, "It's not a secret. When applying for a loan, there is a rebate for the introducer who brings in the customer. ”

When Carlos heard this, he suddenly felt a little angry in his heart, and said, "What's the matter? Grandpa, as the future heir of the empire, actually let him lack money to such a point, and still rely on this to make money?"

The clerk was probably not less reprimanded, and he was not angry, but just smiled and pointed to the elephant basking in the sun on the grass outside the window. "Yes, he is a little short of money. Do you see the elephant outside?

That's his pet named White.

The thing it eats is called bananas, a precious fruit that has been brought from further south. Each one has to have a silver coin price.

In addition to this, there are other snacks. Those add up, basically more than ten gold coins a day.

Not to mention that there are three staple meals, one morning tea and one afternoon tea. and a supper, do you say that grandpa can not be short of money? .

Carloston was stuck.

He looked out at the elephant lying on the grass, wagging its tail and lazily eating its fragrant food, and almost didn't bare out of the eye.

That "that" is actually the grandfather's pet. It's really "what kind of pet is really someone."

He sighed very weakly, and knew in his heart that the grandfather was not short of money, but of random money.

He looked at the clerk expressionlessly, and said softly: "Forget it, just when I haven't said anything, take the first step and go downstairs."

Carlos, with the help of the clerk, completed all the formalities and walked out of the company's doors. It was not early in the morning, so I had a hasty lunch at a restaurant outside. In the end, according to Leo's instructions, he first took out a loan. Then I used that money to buy all kinds of applications everywhere, and I bought them all right.

Early the next morning, I drove my newly purchased caravan to Karin City.

There, he will be given a piece of land of his own.
