Verse 127 is so

"Lord Ashrufat. An old woman's voice rang out from the side. Ashruphat turned his head sideways, and what he saw was the old woman. The old woman's position in the court was very transcendent, on the one hand she had no power at all, but on the other hand she was completely unrestricted. "You'd better get out of here. She said with a smile.

"But......" Ashruphat hesitated.

"Leave the rest to me. The mother-in-law replied. "When I came in, I saw someone looking for you outside. By the way, it's better to let them leave with you. She gestured to the two guards standing guard.

Because Ashrufat was the chief of the court, these guards were arranged by him. Mobilizing the guards was within his purview. So soon the two guards left with Ashrufat, and the old woman entered the dining-room, went in and closed the door with her hand.

The little girl has completely lost the majesty of the queen, and the anger just now has disappeared. At this moment, she was like an ordinary wronged little girl, sobbing and crying.

"Mother-in-law!" there was no one else around, so she threw herself into the old woman's arms and began to cry loudly.

......

It took a moment for Ashrufat to be able to meet the guests. Speaking of which, thanks to the fact that he is currently in a state of work and residence, his residence and office are very close to each other, so it really doesn't take too long to change a set of clothes.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was asked to see three strangers. Ashrufat did not remember their faces, but he did recognize their uniforms. All three of them were from those big chambers.

It was from these chambers that Byron had borrowed large sums of money (in the name of the Queen, of course), which led to the fact that the royal family was now in debt. For this reason, almost everyone is waiting for the day when the little queen will fall.

When the host and guest meet, according to the habit, they naturally say a few polite words. The leader of the three introduced himself as Kagbo and presented Ashrufar with a rather complicated certificate of authorization for transfection. According to the document, the man, who went by the name of Kagbo, had become a debt handling agent for six or seven chambers of commerce – specifically for the debts owed by the royal family.

This kind of thing is very common, and Ajin once talked to Ashrufat about the debt settlement during small talk. There are many chambers of commerce that are engaged in the business of money lending, but lending is risky, and if there is a danger that the loan will not be recovered, in order to ensure its own interests, the chamber of commerce will sell the bond, and then this kind of "debt disposal agent" will be created.

Ostensibly these people are members of the Chamber of Commerce, but in fact they pay for the claims (usually at a price of about 60 per cent of the total amount of the claims). I also know that this kind of person will never let himself suffer losses, and if possible, they will do their best to collect debts and use all legal and illegal means to recover the money.

"Excuse me, what are you looking for me?" Ashruphat asked after the polite self-introductions of both sides. "Is Her Majesty the Queen already considered to be a man who cannot meet his debts? ”

"Lord Earl. Kagbo said politely. "So far, despite all the rumors from the outside world, Her Majesty the Queen has always been able to repay her debts on time and without delay. ”

"Well, then, do you have anything special to do with me?" asked Ashrufat. "If you have the audacity to break the contract...... Then at least we have to wait until the debt is due. He said. "This month, and the next, I don't think there's a single debt due. ”

"That's right, Lord Count. "There's a couple of debts here, the kind of 'prepayment' type of debt." ”

With that, he showed Ashrufat a few documents.

There are many types of borrowing, some are secured by collateral and some are not, some have various conditions attached, some do not, some require repayment within a limited period, and some allow indefinite delays, only need to pay interest on time. The documents presented by Kagbo are the most rebellious. This is a relatively loose loan, as long as the interest is paid on time, the principal can be "deferred after negotiation between the two parties". To be honest, it is allowed to drag on indefinitely. Only special customers can enjoy such treatment.

Therefore, these loans were not originally within the scope of the repayment plan.

Kagbo clearly saw Ashrufat's frown visibly.

This is a normal reaction. As anyone knows, the Queen of Gruni is now in debt. To tell the truth, it is a miracle to pay off the debt on time in this half year. In fact, it is also known that the source of these debts was Byron, and that most of them were owed when he was regent. When Byron was still on stage, he used the method of "deferred payment" to delay, borrowing a new amount to pay off the old money each time. But now that the domestic political situation is in turmoil, this approach is completely unworkable.

"But the money, huh...... According to the regulations, it should be counted once a year. Ashrufat looked at the relevant terms carefully. "There's no reason for me to pay right now. ”

As he spoke, his eyes ran up and down the paper in his hand. He now understands that there is such a condition for the indefinite repayment of these debts in the first place, and the merchants are not fools, and they do not get up early without profit. The borrowing document has a variety of terms in their favor, including tax breaks, reduced government interference, legal tilts, and more.

The total amount of borrowing from several documents was six million quiollies, but when you think about it, the money that the merchants have saved in recent years because of these favorable conditions is probably far more than six million. Eshurufat, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, slowly understood why Gruni's financial income had only been so small in the past few years, and presumably these loan contracts also played a big role.

The ensuing dialogue becomes part of the terms of each side, which can be interpreted in their favor and disputed. After a long period of negotiations, the only consensus reached was to "have a detailed discussion at another day".

However, Kagbo did not seem to have any hope of settling the debt at once, at least when he left with two retinues without any disappointment on his face.

After they were gone, Ashruphat quickly took off his ornate garments and changed into a much more ordinary traveler's outfit. As he buttoned the buttons, an attendant came in from outside.

"My lord, are you going to get out?"

"Well, I'm going to meet a friend in the business district. Ashrufat replied. "If someone asks about me, tell them I'll be back around lunchtime. ”

"You're coming back for dinner?"

"No, I'll eat and come back. Ashrufat replied.

Ashrufat's words were completely true. He left in a hurry, and hurried to the business area. After the repeated blows of Byron and Aerufat, although there were a bunch of unjust souls on the gallows, the security of Eagle Falcon City suddenly improved by leaps and bounds. At least Ashrufat didn't have any trouble along the way, and soon he was at the bottom of a four-story building in the business district. Now, the building has a sign that reads "Scroll Chamber of Commerce" on the outside.

Ah Jin was indeed a genius in business, and after he found his own business (and raised shares), his chamber of commerce grew at the fastest pace. At this moment, the whole building looks like an ant nest, and the staff are like busy ants, coming in and out, in full swing. And Ah Jin also has the style of a big boss - Ashrufat saw that there were more than ten messengers in Ah Jin's concierge, and he also saw three horse-drawn carriages on standby downstairs of the building.

Ashrufat arrived at the right time, and Akin happened to be busy working in his penthouse office. Ashrufat pushed the door in, and Akin immediately looked up.

"Ah, dear friend. Ajin greeted Ashrufat warmly. "I'm glad you came to me. What's the matter?"

"Can't I come to you if there's nothing to do?" asked Ashrufat casually.

"Ah, Ashrufat, it's not a good habit. We have to save time and make the most of every bit of time we have with each other...... You must know that time is money, and money rules the world. "Ah Jin earnestly instilled his own respectable philosophical theories with Ashrufat.

"All right, Akin," replied Ashrufat. "Actually, I wanted to ask you a few questions. This one...... There won't be a charge, will it?"

Some people will lose themselves in reality, and some people will never get lost. Ah Jin is undoubtedly the latter. He not only knows what he wants to do, but also how he should do it.

"Ah, Ashrufat, you look down on me so much!" shouted Akin. "Do you really think I'm a money junkie?"

"That's true. Ashrufat replied as he sat down on the couch opposite Akin, the couches where the guests sit.

“...... Well, you're right. Ah Jin replied. "But don't worry, good friends will be discounted for a lifetime, and I won't do such a tasteless thing. When a person comes to the foot of the Golden Mountain, if he is still staring at a few copper plates on the side of the road, then he is a hopeless fool. ”

"Ah Jin, how is your business going?"

"It's going to be very good!" said this, and Ah Jin's eyebrows suddenly fluttered. "Ashrufat, do you know that this market has exceeded my most optimistic predictions. Do you know how many big customers I've developed?" he expertly said a lot of names that Ashrufat had heard or had not heard. "Look at so many, such dignitaries, so many Zhumen Jiadi, all of them have become my customers. I can't envy you, but thanks to your right investment, you will now be able to earn dividends that are much more than you expected. He smiled slyly.

However, Ah Jin is indeed a fat man with a round rumbling bang, and his face is even more so. So no matter what kind of smile he has, he will give people a sense of honesty and honesty.

"I'd like to know about that particular deal of ours...... How's it going?"

"Ah, I have to give you credit for that. Ashrufat, our inferior teleportation scrolls have been sold, and they are selling well. In fact, customers choose this in the first place, unless this inferior scroll is out of stock, and they buy ordinary scrolls. ”

"So, is the church aware of this?"

Of course they perceived. Ah Jin asked strangely. "You don't think they're stupid, do you?"
