23. New Beginnings (14)

PS: Tomorrow is a new chapter, and when I am seriously ill, I can only change it every day, sorry

The sounds of the execution ground could not reach the court in the depths of the royal city, and the emerald green birds with trimmed wings outside the windows jumped and sang among the branches, but the people in the rooms did not enjoy this leisurely leisure.

"Majesty, please ......"

"Shut up!!"

The roar of expulsion rage descended like a thunderbolt, and the well-dressed Prime Minister Richelieu lay on the ground in fear.

"I've given you and Metternich so much favor, but what have you done in this famine!"

The male voice was hoarse, and he couldn't imagine the gentle and gentle appearance of the owner of the voice on weekdays.

"Have you and Metternich ever gotten a grain of wheat or a handful of flour so far?! No! It's all up to V.E to raise food everywhere!

"Your Majesty, the minister prays for you to calm your anger in fear......"

"What?!How do you make me angry?!Say 'Hahaha, this is the way it is?!Will the Church listen to such words?!Oh, your Elector and the sworn enemy of mankind, the abominable heretic, the United Rus' Principality, who has come together to attack the caravans that are carrying supplies to the front lines of the hard fighting in Lapland, may I ask you, do you still have the faith that a devout believer should have? What is it that is stuffed into your mind? Is it straw or?! Is this kind of thing known to the church?"

The old man with the crown could not contain his anger at breaking through the breaking point, and kept slapping the armrest of the luxurious throne, and the heavy blow of pure gold made a dull sound, turning into real pressure, causing Richelieu's spine to bend even deeper. I don't know when, the birds that are carefree and happy outside the window have long been gone,

"The Supreme Majesty. ”

The prime minister of the kingdom crouched on the cold marble floor, his forehead pressed against the stone.

"Please be cautious about entering into a partnership with V.E., Siegfried Otto Lehrin has a wealth comparable to that of any country's treasury. V.E is also involved in all walks of life, and it would be ...... for you to involve them in what is supposed to be the Royal Government."

The Prime Minister wept bloodily and exhorted his sovereign Charlemagne. He used to despise businessmen as much as Charles IV, thinking that Li Lin was just a little fox who could make a little money. However, as the situation progressed to the black market, counterfeit grain vouchers appeared, and V.E Company was still not squeezed, and their grain vouchers were still strong. When the people began to exchange grain for huàn vouchers, Richelieu suddenly realized what Li Lin wanted.

The right to issue money and credit.

This should have been in the hands of only the government. The power of the king's hands has been imperceptibly eroded by the VE company's grain exchange vouchers. In the midst of the famine, all kinds of gold and silver coins are far less valuable than a piece of tissue paper that can be exchanged for a family of three to live for a month. Even after being hit by a large number of counterfeit vouchers, the fact that V.E was able to produce enough food has established a good reputation among the victims, and they have a deeper understanding of the safety and value of vouchers.

"Some people have begun to buy grain at the price of 200 pounds of wheat to exchange for huàn coupons, and some people even exchange ploughing cattle for huàn coupons, and huàn coupons for other products of V.E...... Your Majesty, this is no longer a disaster relief measure. This is simply issuing the V.E Foundation's own currency!!"

With credit, there is also a real guarantee. The exchange of huàn coupons already has the basic conditions for currency, but this is not for Charlemagne...... No, the whole world is not necessarily good news, because V.E operates in an extremely exclusive and aggressive way.

They produce everything. Everything. Now it has begun to issue currency and intervene in the construction of national public facilities.

If even this step is allowed to be completed smoothly, the country will be completely hopeless.

In the name of the chain of economic interests, V.E tied Charlemagne to them, and over time, the two would form a symbiosis that would merge into one...... No, it is the system of V.E Company parasitic Charlemagne's kingdom, and businessmen use the power of money to interfere and influence national politics. What a dreading sight it would be, Richelieu did not even dare to think about it.

Its name is still Charlemagne's kingdom, a kingdom that is completely under the control of the V.E company.

The Prime Minister's judgment was correct, basically nothing wrong, but it was too late.

The fate of this country, as early as in the reports and plans of the General Staff and the Accounting Department of Yalfheim, the script of the fate of this country has already been written by someone.

"Even if what you say is true, what about the money? Where do you get the money to keep this country running?"

After another slap on the throne, Charles IV's face turned red, and his wand set with multicolored gems pointed at Richelieu's little red riding hood head and scolded angrily:

"The V.E company can get the food, and Li Lin can give the idea of [asking the Pope to send a request to the countries to aid Charlemagne's edict], and give me a detailed plan for the distribution and repayment of the loan. What's more, they never have loopholes and scandals!Unlike you and Metternich, they will only humiliate me again and again, and make the country fall into trouble again and again!!"

The man sitting on the throne roared with the loudest voice he could, and the thought of one scandal after another made the Holy Majesty angry.

At the beginning, they were in a hurry to deal with the epidemic and famine, and they could use the force majeure excuse of "suddenly" and "unexpected" to get away with it, but then, there were corrupt officials who privately withheld the wheat and flour that passed the inspection. Take it to the black market for profiteering. At the same time, it was shoddy, mixing poisonous wheat and flour that was ready to be destroyed into relief grains for distribution, leading to the scandal of dozens of people getting sick;

When dozens of heads were hung on the city wall, a large number of counterfeit and counterfeit V.E company grain exchange coupons suddenly appeared on the black market, and there was a run on it. Before the royal government could deal with the impact of the previous scandal, it was not a good idea to let the only force that could calm the hearts and minds of the people fall, so the royal government intervened again and coordinated with the V.E company to put the grain in the treasury into the V.E logo bag and distribute it to the citizens, and it gradually settled down.

When following various suspicious clues to the families of the three electors, the gloomy face of His Majesty Charles IV finally showed a smile.

What a great opportunity, what a reason.

In accordance with the stirring public opinion, the electoral families who rebelled against the king and harmed the people were uprooted - this is exactly what Charles IV had always wanted to do, but this Richelieu came out to chirp about what "will cause unrest among the nobility" and "need to check and balance the V.E company"......

Didn't he know that the ambitious electors were far more dangerous than a businessman who could coordinate the nations to get a good loan for a country that was already bankrupt due to the disconnection of its financial links?

"Shut up! I'll give you a task now, and you'll be able to bring Metternich a glass of wine right away. ”

"Majesty ......!!"

"I don't need incompetent courtiers!"

"Minister...... The Ministers ......"

In the crack of a small door in the white court, a little girl looked at this qiē in horror.

She had never seen her father so terrible, and she would be so relieved when she saw the cardinal's gloomy and painful expression.

The third princess, who was only 4 years old, could not understand those profound and terrible words, and only one of the words that was repeatedly mentioned was deeply remembered in the pure and effective heart of the princess.

“V.E...... Consortium Limited ......"

Stumbling and muttering the word, the blood-stained wheel of fate began to move forward again. (To be continued.) )
