There is peace in Perth Palace.

Solomon waited quietly for Edward to look through the information he had received, the one that had been transferred from Prince David's possession of the Mogul merchant group.

The information was obtained from the Taigu branch of the Rose Bank, and it is said that the Mogul Merchant Group, one of the three famous merchant groups in Titania, intends to borrow a large sum of money from the Rose Bank, explicitly to expand the private army of the merchant group.

Now, due to the encouragement of cross-dimensional trade between merchant groups, countries allow merchants to recruit a certain amount of private armies, but the size and strength of merchants' private armies are always limited by their own strength, and no one will spend a lot of money to maintain an excessive private army, otherwise it will be an unaffordable expense.

The huge amount of money demanded by the Mogul merchant group this time was enough to build half an army, which surprised the Rose Bank, and the mortgage that the Mogul merchant group could take out was somewhat insufficient, so the Rose Bank thought that if it insisted on borrowing, the Mogul merchant group must provide more information to the Rose Bank to enhance the bank's confidence in order to meet its needs.

In this case, the Mogul merchant group revealed that it was because of the recent preparation for the development of a new plane, and this location is rich in mineral resources.

The Rose Bank is actually controlled by the Secret Alliance, and the Taigu branch is the second branch established by the Rose Bank based on the successful experience in Asturias, which has established a branch with heavy investment rights (although branches in other parts of Titanya and other countries are being established, they basically only have the function of a bank savings bank, and do not have the power to borrow a large amount of money externally, that is, the difference between traditional banking business and investment banking business, the reason for this is that the secret alliance has been involved in the bank for too short a time after all.

Wrong. It should be said that the exhibition time of the entire banking industry is too short. Su zhì is also uneven. In addition to the earliest establishment of the Franklin Bank, Solomon worked hard in the free city for a few years, systematically cultivated some basic talents, even the manpower required by the central bank was very large at the beginning with the help of the Franklin Bank to survive, and the nature of the central bank tended to be more investment banking, and there was no need for so many traditional banking personnel.

Other banks are even worse because the financial industry, which has changed because of Solomon, needs a different kind of people than before, while other banks are more of a goldsmith bank. Or it was formed by other businessmen learning from the Franklin Bank and the Central Bank, and the old traces are very deep.

Rose Bank was not created with a single investment banking model, but a hybrid model with both investment banking and traditional business, because the purpose of the establishment of Rose Bank itself requires both models.

Rose Bank was a multinational bank from the beginning, and the establishment of branches in various places could coincide with the clan, and it was logical to hand over to the local clan, so as to achieve the integration of forces internally, but to give people the image of a family bank externally, and the function of the investment bank could further realize the ultimate goal of the blood clan, walking in the sun, a single function and model could not meet the requirements of the Secret Alliance.

But that also means a larger number of people. If it weren't for the fact that those bankers who had gone bankrupt could be absorbed, even Solomon would have been powerless. There was no way to help the Hidden Alliance build a rough structure just a few years ago.

However, the benefits after the initial success are also obvious, the Rose Bank of the Hidden Alliance is not simple, and its transnational structure itself is also suitable for the transmission of intelligence, and it is not the first time that such information has been carried out this time.

But the content of the intelligence is not trivial.

In just a few years, Solomon's use of the war to promote changes had an impact not only on Asturias, but also on other countries.

He only combined some of the ideas before the crossing with the reality of this world, made some transformations and changes, and then made reasonable use of the huge power of capital, so that the goods of Asturias were greatly enriched, which not only strongly supported the process of war and foreign expansion, but also began to actively compete in other countries of Keos.

In terms of quality, Asturian goods do not necessarily have an absolute advantage, but they do have a clear advantage in the cost of production, and Mr. Andorra, who tried to borrow money from the Rose Bank, was one of those who was affected.

This forced other countries to pay attention to the changes in Asturias, and to a greater or lesser extent, the more light the Church of Light was less able to imitate it.

At the same time, the research and use of black rock is also paper-inhibited, but Asturias is one step ahead, and the biggest advantage is that there is a stable dìng from the black rock plane and a large number of provisions, which certainly makes Solomon and the companies he owns shares rich, but also indirectly and indirectly ensures that Asturias maintains its advantage for a certain period of time.

In other countries, research alone requires a lot of black rock.

In recent years, since the use of black rock has been noticed now, other countries have also begun to search for black rock, and it is not easy to find the source of Keos, which is easy to conflict with the underground tribes, although the underground tribes are not the opponents of the surface countries, but it is easy to make trouble, and it will increase the cost of mining, so the ideal is to find a place with rich reserves in the heterotopic plane like Asturias.

It's a pity that before this information, although Black Rock was also found in the exploration and exploration of the heterotopic plane encouraged by the countries, the reserves were not enough.

There are also some substances that are rich in reserves and similar to black rock, such as coal, which can also drive dwarven steam engines and machinery, but compared to black rock, it can never be replaced, because black rock can also release the magic contained in it, which other black rock-like materials do not have.

Therefore, the information that Edward is looking at now is very important, if it is true, once it is accused by other countries, it means that some countries may start to catch up with Asturias, especially when this country turns out to be Titania.

Asturias' relationship with Titania is now a bit complicated, like friend or foe.

The two have one thing in common, they both hate the Church of Light meddling in their own affairs, but they are not free to cooperate with each other, as in Faroucion. If it weren't for the fact that Asturias finally reinforced and showed strength. was almost forced to leave by Titania.

But when the battle of Farucion came to an end, it was a lag behind. The two countries quickly approached each other and jointly expressed their desire to support each other.

If Titania did have a rich black rock, it would certainly be extremely beneficial to them, but it would not necessarily be a good thing for Asturias.

Fortunately, after carefully reading the information, it is not impossible to see that there is no opportunity here, and this opportunity comes from the fact that the Mogul merchant group does not seem to have reported to the kingdom yet.

Black rock is not expensive in terms of unit quantity, but it is not the same if the reserves are abundant enough to support a project like the Asturias exhibition.

This can be seen in Solomon alone. His current wealth can be said to be increasing day by day, and his partners have amassed an astonishing amount of wealth, of course, the degree of wealth consumed by his corporate partners is also amazing, Cecilia and the dwarves are still studying the use of Black Rock, which in itself is a difficult thing to do and requires a lot of wealth support.

Especially the dwarves, they migrated over, and the consumption of resettlement tribes in the past few years has been huge, more than what they need to invest in the use of Black Rock, otherwise Solomon would not have had the opportunity to hire a large number of their excellent craftsmen, let alone other merchant groups and merchants. And the fact is that many construction related to steam and machinery now like to hire dwarven craftsmen. Because they are knowledgeable and meticulous in their work, they are not very good except for the fact that they like to drink too much.

Therefore, what does the rich black rock mean, it is obvious that it is an endless source of wealth, in addition to the possibility of controlling the future direction.

Even Solomon first pulled the dwarves and Cecilia to exhibit together, and the royal family recognized him, and later took the risk to gain a battle advantage in Yugudrar for the kingdom, and worshipped the legendary mage as a teacher, and now there is a secret alliance to help, oh, and he has become the fiancé of the royal princess, these conditions add up, in order to control the black rock plane openly, and don't worry too much about other forces interfering in.

The Mogul Merchant Group would definitely not be able to do this, even if they were one of the most powerful merchant groups in Titania.

If this information is true, this plane with rich reserves of black rock will definitely cause countless people to covet, the other two major merchant groups of Titania, the challenger merchant group under Mogul who are always looking forward to their fall, some can directly confront them, and even have an advantage, although some are not as good as Mogul, but under the attraction of this kind of interest, if they join forces, it is enough to challenge head-on, not to mention that there is the Titanian royal family above these forces, and it is difficult to say whether other countries will destroy it.

What's more, in terms of the status of merchants in the country, Titania is not as good as Asturias, in Asturias, under the instigation of Solomon secretly, merchants are beginning to consciously gather their strength and will, taking advantage of various opportunities to ask for participation in politics, asking the kingdom to protect the interests of merchants, which also includes the helpers of the secret alliance behind the Rose Bank.

Therefore, some business-related laws, elevating the status of merchants and safeguarding the interests of merchants, are much smoother in Asturias, while Titania may not.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Mogul merchant group did not announce it to the public until it was completely occupied, and did not even register with the kingdom.

However, as mentioned before, this also has a very big disadvantage, that is, the kingdom does not know, and once other forces also have a way to enter this plane, the Mogul merchant group will fall into passivity, and then they will either give most of their interests to the kingdom for protection, or they will have to face other competitors alone.

The Mogul merchant group is undoubtedly relatively strong, not including the scale of the private army that it is now seeking to expand, and the existing ones may be more than half of the legions, of course, Su zhì said otherwise, it can be said that its strength is not inferior to a powerful marquis family, but if there is really an opponent, it is still not necessarily what they can handle.

For example, Solomon, who is now aware of the news and is interested at the same time, and even Asturias behind him.

"Solomon, what do you think should be done?" finally asked Edward after reading all the information. (To be continued!)
