Section 122 Rose Bank (5)
"Is there anything wrong?" said Solomon, sitting down in front of Prince David, with a slight surprise. (
For a while, he couldn't think of anything that could make Prince David appear here in person, and the cooperation between the two sides in the past few years has been relatively smooth, and each takes what he needs.
"My dear Solomon, you have seen our exhibitions over the past few years, and I must admit that they are indeed part of what you predicted for me, but what about the future?" said Prince David, who laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes.
What a greedy fellow, Solomon cursed in his heart, but of course it didn't show it on the surface. ‘
"Prince, you seem to have forgotten what I told you at the beginning, and the Rose Bank is only beginning to take shape, and it is still far from what you want to achieve. Solomon replied calmly.
"Well, I'll admit it. However, I would like to know what the next steps should be, and you must know that it is not an easy task to gather the power of most of the Bloods, and in addition to painting them an ideal landscape as a goal, I must tell them where the road to this goal is. ”
"Okay. Solomon sighed, "Prince, what I told you before was to accumulate strength, including the establishment of the Rose Bank. When your power accumulates to the point that others cannot ignore it, or when your power reaches the point where even after revealing your identity, it costs more to others to destroy you than for you to save it, then you are initially safe. ”
Prince David nodded, he could understand what Solomon was saying.
If the blood clan is exposed, even if it has strong force, it will not be able to survive in the sun, this is not that the blood clan is afraid of the sun. It is definitely a misconception to say that the Bloodlines are afraid of the sun. Sunlight just makes adult bloodlines uncomfortable. This discomfort is a bit stronger than that of ordinary people, but it does have the effect of preventing the blood clan from healing itself.
No matter how powerful the Blood Clan is, it is only a minority in the world of Keos, as long as it shows up in public, no matter how strong it is, it is impossible to resist the siege of other tribes, even if the Secret Alliance and the Demon Banquet Alliance are now able to release old grudges and join forces.
Solomon had designed a soft method for them, and the effect of establishing the Rose Bank was now apparent, hiding the clan structure in the bank. Others thought it was a huge family bank, but in fact, the originally loose Hidden Alliance relied on the Rose Bank to become tighter and gather strength.
It also fulfilled the first goal that Solomon had pointed out to them, to use and integrate into the social fabric of the Terrans, and to use it as protection.
When the influence of the Rose Bank reaches an alarming level, it will be difficult for the Terrans to destroy the Bloodline, as they will show that destroying some of the things in the Bloodline's control may bring them even greater losses.
This step can be said to have been initially achieved in Asturias, where Rosary Bank is one of the important sources of borrowing and supporting Asturias. It is precisely because of the deposit of the Rose Bank that the blood clan puts the wealth in their hands. Included in other countries, they were lent to Asturias and had such influence that Asturians acquiesced in their deposits.
Using this as a template, Rosette Bank is being replicated in other countries, such as Titania, and of course progress is unlikely to be as smooth as that of Asturias.
Because of the special situation of Asturias, at that time it happened that they fell out with the Church of Light, and were resisted by the church and other countries, although they were extremely restrained and only limited the open and secret fighting to the extraterritorial battlefield, but the trade and economic barriers and resistance, Asturias had no choice.
Until the development of the banking industry, such as the Franklin Bank, and the central bank set up by merchants to lend money to the kingdom, it was the consolidation of part of the domestic capital.
However, the secret alliance reached between Solomon and the Hidden Alliance is equivalent to introducing capital outside the kingdom to Asturias, otherwise Asturias will definitely not be able to not only support it, but also develop it in the past few years.
Even with the advent of Black Rock, without a huge amount of capital as a motive, Asturias did not succeed so easily.
It is precisely because of the introduction of the existing dwarven mechanical technology, the exhibition of the magic civilization, and the promotion of huge capital that Asturias was able to break through the soft blockade of the countries.
Countries could resist imports by increasing tariffs on similar goods to Asturias, but the concentration of workshops established by Solomon allowed the production of domestic goods to explode at a large margin, reduce manufacturing costs, and achieve a surplus despite high tariffs.
The soft impact of such a non-violent invasion is difficult for countries to contain, and even if they impose a complete ban on each other's goods, they will still be unable to prevent the infiltration of smuggling.
It can be said that the Hidden Alliance, with its success in the banking industry, has gained a near-semi-public status in Asturias, although the lowest level of the people do not know that the prosperity of Asturias in recent years has been due to the participation of the Hidden Alliance, but the nobility and the upper circles related to the cabinet are not unknown.
In fact, even the three dukes are seeking to cooperate with Prince David, but the Hidden Alliance still regards his closest friend as Solomon.
Because he not only represents the bond between the royal party and the bloodline, but most importantly, he can guide the bloodline's future path.
What the Hidden Alliance needs is more than just a life where food can be obtained under the slogan of researching blood transfusion technology and establishing medical schools and blood banks.
They prefer to drink blood openly in the sun, and the Terrans naturally agree and accept it, and even willingly accept the results of being raised.
Therefore, what Prince David wanted to ask Solomon was not the road in front of him, and what Solomon sighed about was not how the Secret Alliance had successfully copied it to other countries, it was the matter of the Secret Alliance.
"When your strength, I don't mean violence, Prince, you should be very aware of this, all your violence should be used against the challenge from the Dark Council, and you must suppress the violent elements, you know who I am talking about. Their goals are similar to yours, but the means and methods cannot be accepted, and only the path I showed you in the first place is the only right one. After you reach a certain level of strength, well, I can't describe it exactly, you can try carefully in the process, but remember not to be as greedy as you are today, that will not do you any good, too greedy will lose all the benefits you have already obtained. Solomon admonished.
He continued: "When you have reached the certain level I have spoken, you can act as you have infiltrated the present parliament of Asturias, looking for suitable spokesmen to speak for your interests, and at the same time doing your best to help them gain a higher position, preferably to further expand the power of the parliament, to merge it completely or to associate it with the power of the nobility. But you can't openly say that the bloodlines are innocent, and you should suck human blood. ”
"Then what shall we say?" said Prince David with interest, believing that the man in front of him would give him a satisfactory answer.
When it comes to absolute power, Solomon is undoubtedly inferior to him, but the man's strategy and planning in front of him make him, a prince who has lived for thousands of years, ashamed of himself, and the most important thing is that some of the things he guides are unprecedented.
"As I said, you should look for the right spokesmen in the council, as well as allies. Needless to say, the spokesperson is honest, in a few years, the Rose Bank will get better and better, even if you appear directly in the parliament as a member of parliament, no one else will expose it, of course, I'm just joking, it's better not to do this, unless you can finish what I want to say next. Allies, you should look for those who will accept your political slogans and agree with your political ideals. It is impossible for you to claim that the bloodlines are sinless, the image you have left on the world and the influence of the church after so many years are still there, and if you say this alone, all the contradictions are concentrated on you, and the world will be divided into you and non-bloods, then you are a minority, and you will definitely be hostile. ”
"You must know who your enemies are and who are your friends. "Solomon's strict way.
Prince David nodded lightly, "Very well said. ”
"But you can raise racial equality and contribute to it. Solomon smiled slyly.
Prince David was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
"Look, racial equality, you can't discriminate against other races, and you're no longer alone. Solomon laughed.
Now Asturias is a multi-racial country, in addition to the human race, the dwarven tribe has moved in, the orcs have been involved in the extraterritorial war in Asturias since a few years ago, and the orc tribes of the western beast field have more relations with Asturias.
A dozen years ago, only the Free City had trade with the Orcs, seven years ago only the Free City had a deed access system for the Orcs, and now almost all regions are open to the Orcs, and Asturias is considering allowing the Orcs to live from the border areas to be extended to the Inner 6, but only if the property is purchased and there are tax records.
If all races were equal, then the Bloodlines would naturally have the right to be open in the sun.
Prince David's eyes lit up and he smiled with satisfaction, but he was obviously not satisfied, he grabbed the handle of the armchair and said, "You know it's not enough. ”
"That's why we have to talk about democracy and freedom. "Solomon's strict way.
The democracy and freedom proposed by Solomon to Prince David are set up for the blood clan in this way, democracy is to allow the blood clan to use parliament and other institutions and means to speak out and fight for influence, and freedom is more important, as long as the goal of freedom is achieved, then everyone can sell blood to the blood clan who needs it, which is also an explanation of freedom.
"My friend, now you see, you are far from strength. Solomon sighed.
Prince David had to admit that he was too aggressive, the Elven Empire could not be built in a day, not to mention that the blood clan wanted to live freely under the sun.
So he quickly pulled out a gift as a way to apologize to the Bloodline's best friend.
This is exactly the information that came from the ancient city of Thailand.
"Could it be that there is a huge black rock reserve in the plane?" Solomon looked at this information, and his eyes began to change. (To be continued!)
