836. Pit back
In the afternoon, the Imperial Capital Finance Office, Office of the Assistant Secretary to the Chief Treasurer.
Gordon Campbell, assistant secretary to the Department of the Treasury, was looking at Jacob Schubin, assistant to the chief secretary to the secretary, rather worriedly, and thought for a long time before asking:
"Sir Jacob, are you sure that Rand galloping horse will be able to eat it...... What are your conditions? ”
Jacob smiled and said, "Of course, judging from the agreement they signed, there is only that way. ”
"But......" Gordon said as he looked at the smug Jacob, "that Rand doesn't look like a nobleman willing to compromise with us. ”
"Then he will have to find a way to conjure up 2 million Divine Emperor 900 Year Gold Coins," Jacob shrugged, "As far as I know, only 5 million of those gold coins have been made, only 700,000 are in circulation, and the rest are all in the underground warehouse of the Ministry of Finance." ”
"However, as the only person in this world who can build a magic furnace, it is possible for him to go to the minister and use the magic furnace to directly deduct it!"
"yes, and then? The Ministry of Finance can get at least 4 or even more magic furnaces for nothing! Jacob laughed and said, "We can 'give' these furnaces to the lords who have plenty of magic to make their workshops more profitable, and the Treasury will only take a relatively small stake." ”
"Alright, sir, as long as you're sure." Gordon Campbell nodded.
The door to their office suddenly opened, and the legendary law-wizard Frank Douglas, the chief secretary of the Treasury Department, entered the room with a cold face, and behind him was the Rand Galloping Horse.
"Jacob, did you have his wife sign this morning without Sir Rand's knowledge......" Frank winked and asked Jacob to find himself a step, but the lawyer did not yet understand his situation.
"Sir Frank, Lord Rand, this is the way it is," said Jacob, "Lord Rand's two ladies are very much in favor of the proposal proposed by the Treasury Department, and are willing to ...... it."
"Lord Jacob," Rand took out a piece of letterhead printed with the Temple of Fortune, "This is a special withdrawal from the Temple of Fortune in the Ministry of Finance, a total of 2.12 million Emperor 900 years of gold coins, all of which have been put into the treasury of the Department of Finance, please take a look." ”
"......Forehead" Jacob didn't expect that Rand could let the goddess of wealth directly repay the 2 million arrears for himself, and he was stunned for a moment.
"Although I have repaid all the money, there are still some issues that need to be discussed with you, I remember that when you were negotiating with my two wives, you mentioned that some of my past behaviors have clearly deviated from the law and the provisions?"
"Yes, Lord Rand, as far as we know......"
"You don't need to understand," Rand pulled out a booklet from the spatial ring, "This is a record of all my past two years that has been personally reviewed by His Excellency Halkala the Forest Walker, and I have reported each of them to King Dusen of the Dragon Kingdom, and asked His Excellency Ben Kaul to bring it to His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Divine Emperor. ”
"Ah......" Jacob froze.
"I have specifically told Sir Hanfei Apoppy at the Great Council that there will always be conflicts and overlaps between the administrative scope and the administrative issues involved, and every time I encounter similar problems, I will pray to the barbarian god, without his support and protection, it is impossible for me to resist the orcs, and at the same time, His Majesty the God Emperor, as the god of the barbarians, is very supportive of my flexible handling in accordance with the spirit of the empire's laws and past cases on the galloping horse plains outside the jurisdiction of the empire."
"That's ......"
"Yes, so I also told Minister Zhang Kun and Sir Frank that if the Finance Department has any questions about my past behavior in the future, you can directly contact His Majesty the God Emperor, but I have something I have to answer now, you seem to have mentioned that although a certain high-level person understands my problem, he doesn't want to pursue it?" Rand looked at Jacob, who was solemn, and asked, "Can I know the name of that Excellency?" ”
Rand said as he looked at Frank, but Frank shook his head desperately.
"My lord, this is also the meaning of the above, since your behavior is ......"
"Don't!" Rand interrupted him, "I must know which of your Excellency has misunderstood me, and there are not many high-level people who can hint to you. ”
"But ......"
"Also, the second suggestion you gave: With the proceeds of the magic furnace as collateral, the Finance Department has the right to make recommendations on the installation of the magic furnace and has the right of veto." Rand took out the agreement and put it in front of his eyes, "Which high-level person brought this up?" ”
"This is a modification made by the Ministry of Finance according to the previous agreement, Lord Rand, you have repaid the loan now, there is no need to chase these words anymore, right?"
"No, the Demon Furnace is an extension of the Demon Net, and your terms are equivalent to giving the Finance Department the power to control the Demon Net, and this mention itself is a blasphemy against Her Majesty Willy." Rand's tone gradually turned cold, "As a member of the Demon Net, I can't tolerate such blasphemy. ”
"My lord, the Treasury Department is part of the empire, don't you want to say that the official of the empire has desecrated the magic network?"
"The Empire doesn't, but you're blasphemous." Rand pulled out a stack of documents again, "Before I came, I sent a letter to inquire about the Temple of Fortune, the Purity Tower's Chamber, the Imperial Prime Minister's Palace, and the Secretariat of the Great Council, and these institutions have sent me a special confirmation letter, confirming that they have never entrusted the Finance Department with matters related to the magic net and the magic furnace. ”
"Lan ......" Jacob was a little flustered, the entire document was written by him, he was very annoyed by Lante's rejection of the plan of the Finance Department several times, in his eyes, there was no difference between the border Rand and the barbarians, and he was not qualified to be on an equal footing with them from the big families of the imperial capital, let alone reject his proposal.
"Lord Jacob, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation by 8 a.m. tomorrow morning night unicorn time, I can only curse you on behalf of the magic web," said Rand, flicking his finger in the air at Jacob. "You and your next five generations will be completely cut off from the Demon Net, and you will never reach the high level."
"No...... Don't ......"
Rand almost did what he said, and before Jacob could finish speaking, he could already feel that the magic pool was completely drained, and the abundant magic in the air was insulated from him.
"Lord Rand, isn't this inappropriate?" The legendary lawmaker Frank Douglas felt the change in magic and quickly said, "He is an official of the Empire...... He didn't deserve such ......"
"Sir Frank, I am not using lynching, I am not in a position to impose any restrictions on his movements, but I must uphold the sanctity of the net." At this moment, although Rand was smiling and his tone was very soft, it made everyone creepy.
"By the way, due to my dislike for this person, the power of the magic furnaces within 50 kilometers of his place will be reduced by 10%, and these two curses will be announced on the magic mirrors in all the magic furnace control rooms at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning in Night Qicheng time."
Gordon, Jacob, and Frank in the room didn't dare to speak anymore, they actually saw a high-ranking lord, exercising a powerful power that only the peak of legends or righteous gods had.
"Sir Frank, if the time is right for the Treasury Office, I can come over tomorrow to install the magic furnace!" Before leaving, Rand left this sentence and glanced at Jacob by the way, "But whether it can exert its full power, I dare not guarantee." ”
