Chapter 12: Selling Bonds

Everyone didn't speak, Jet cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen of the Holy Cat State, you should be aware of the current situation, the news of the attack of the alien beast is coming from the Death Desert, and the kingdom of Noa in the south is also eyeing us, if we can't handle our internal affairs, without a strong army, I am afraid that when the alien beast attacks, it will be the day we die, and your money can only be buried in the grave." ”

It's not that the old nobles are not unaware of the current situation, they just want them to take out the money, and this is their life!

The great nobleman Bute Hamon shook his fat belly and said, "Dear Lord Menes, we also know the current situation in the Holy Cat State, but we really don't have any money?

Other nobles also chimed in!

"Rules? I'll give you a loan certificate, and use the reclaimed swamp as collateral, there are no rules? If there are no rules, I'll just grab it, and if I don't give you money, I want to leave, eat for nothing, look at it for nothing, prostitute it for nothing?" Menes yelled loudly.

In the past, Menes was known for being brutal and unreasonable, and this loud roar frightened the nobles on the scene into not daring to speak.

Bute Hamon hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Dear Lord Menes, we didn't mean that, but you know that the swamp can't be reclaimed this year, it can't be completed this year, and there will be no harvest next year!"

Menes said with a gloomy face, "Are you underestimating my divine punishment mummy?"

Menes said to the mummy, "Number 3, show your Death Swing to Lord Butehamon." ”

Hearing the order, Number 3 walked stiffly and slowly towards Bouthamon.

"Hey, Mistress Menes, what are you going to do?" Bouthamon looked at the mummy nervously.

No. 3 grabbed Bouthamon's shoulder and began to shake it, Bouthamon screamed in fright, and soon he couldn't even scream, only a vague whine, and the nobles present couldn't help but look at the ground, the stone that had just been shaken into powder, showing a frightened expression.

Menes shouted to stop, and Number 3 immediately stopped.

Bouthamon had been shaken and collapsed to the ground.

"You have all seen that my divine punishment mummy can open mountains, break stones, and transport, and work all day long, how can such a good labor force not be completed?"

"Lord Bouthamon, are you better, it is said that my god punishes mummies, and can help people lose weight and lose fat like crazy, why don't you try again?" Menes said with a smile.

"No, no, big ...... Big...... My lord, I'm fainting!"

"No. 3, help him wake up!" Butehamon stood up before he finished speaking.

"My lord, I'm all right!" This funny expression made the little girl in the audience laugh.

"Sober up, my lord, how much do you buy the treasury?" Menis said, picking up twenty bonds and throwing them to Bouthamon.

"That's all, make sure you make money and pick up the baby!"

Bute Hamon hadn't fully recovered from the halo, and said with a blushing face, "My lord, big ...... People, too many. ”

"Not much, not much, you are a rich man in the Holy Cat State, even the wealth of my Menes family cannot be compared with you, besides, this is a profitable business, and the opportunity must not be missed!"

Bouthamon was still about to speak, and Number 3 turned to stare at him.

Admit it, please God bless this guy to be able to talk and count!

The others saw that Bute Hamon had confessed, so they had to obediently subscribe, and the number of subscriptions for each family was allocated by Menes, who had already investigated the financial situation of each family, so the distribution was reasonable.

When Greg saw his subscription, there were actually twenty bonds, and he looked at it in surprise and said, "Dear Lord Menes, are you mistaken? My family is poor, I don't have much money, I'm not the Butehamon family?"

Menes looked at Jet and said, "Oh, it seems to be a mistake, I remember that you had some ore out of our warehouse at the end of last year, but there was a little difference in quantity, and the purpose was not explained, I don't know if you remember?"

When Greg heard Menis's words, his legs went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground, "This...... This ......"

"That's a lot of ore, don't you remember?" Menes continued.

"My lord, I gave all these ores to the temple, you can ask Lord Jett!" said Greg in a panic.

Jett replied with an innocent face, "The temple doesn't have this expense, my lord!"

Menes spread his hands and said, "Oh! I guess I'm mistaken, if you don't get the bonds, I'll go back and check the accounts again!"

Greg could only reach out and take the bond tremblingly.

The rest of the banquet became tasteless, the heart was dripping blood, most people found an excuse to leave early, only the fat man was still dying, and after spending so much money, he always had to eat back a little capital.

Menes was satisfied when she raised the money, and it was also fun to watch the fat man eat in the sea.

Menes touched the fat man's belly and said, "How much food are you going to eat this day, Bouthamon?

It was very painful for Bute Hamon to give money, but he was much happier when he ate, and he stuffed roast chicken in his mouth and said, "Lord Menes, what you said is so right, I can eat it very well, and the whole family can eat it, so the expenses are large, can you charge a little less?"

The expression was very sincere, but it was absolutely impossible for Menes to spit out the money in hand.

"I'm not robbing money, I'm trying to make money for you, and when I make money in the future, you're going to invite me to dinner!" Menes said.

"My lord, don't joke about it, okay?2000 Kit, you want my life, can this swamp be developed? Three years, do you want to talk and count?" said Butehamon.

"Count, count, you're delicious!" Menes said with a smile.

Bute Hamon wiped his greasy mouth and whispered, "My lord, in fact, I think the interest you give is high, and the three-point interest is Your Majesty's tax share, you don't have to do this when you borrow money, everyone is willing to give money, mainly because you like that land, as long as you can give everyone a share of the land, it's okay not to give money." ”

Menes looked at Butehamon curiously and said, "Why don't you want interest?

Butehamon glanced at Menes and said, "I don't know about your bonds, but this kind of interest and debt will never be finished, I understand this, they are greedy for your interest, you scratch everyone's principal, and in the end you will still benefit, yes, Lord Menes!"

Menes is a little impressed, this fat man's brain is spinning fast!

Today, Menes was like a robbery, raising 10,000 kilts of silver, which was enough to pay the army's arrears, and enough to pay for the entire project, and there was surplus, and the process of raising money was much smoother than Menes thought.

It's not that these people are really so afraid of Menes' murder, Bute Hamon is right, everyone can pay obediently, mainly depends on that land, according to the law of His Majesty Pharaoh, the newly cultivated land has a three-year tax exemption period, which is also the reason for the three-year term of the bond.

If it can be successfully developed, the tax revenue for three years is enough to repay the principal and interest, which everyone understands, and the bond is very clear, even if it cannot be completed this year, as long as it is developed, everyone can divide the land, as the local nobles, these lands will naturally fall into their hands first, Menes can not be completed on time, then it is the best, and everyone will divide the land together in the future.

For Menes, the first is to raise money, and secondly, Menes uses this method to tie everyone together, if I am finished, the successor will not give you the land and pay back, everyone has to draw a question mark on this, maybe someone can get it, but there must be someone who can't get it, so you'd better ensure my interests, so that everyone has a share.

As for the matter of land distribution, they have thought too much, Menes has no intention of distributing land to everyone at all, and will give it after three years of repayment, but I am afraid that there will be more than this time to raise money in the past three years, three years and three years, the issuance of bonds will never be finished, and the new debt will be used to pay off the old debt, and the long-term rolling Ponzi scheme, Menes still understands.

Menes gently patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Yes, there are brains, it seems that we can cooperate in the future." ”

Bute Hamon grinned, "As long as you can make money, please ask your lordship to tell me." ”

Menes stopped talking to the fat man, turned around and walked out of the hall, and as soon as he reached the door, he saw Jett cautiously approaching Menes, and whispered, "Dear Lord Menes, I want to explain something about the abnormal shipment from the warehouse......"

Menes didn't wait for Jett to finish speaking before interrupting, "Lord Jett, that batch of goods is not standardized, please be strict in the future, thank you!"

A sentence of non-standard shipment, an understatement, and a word was added at the end, thank you!

Jett didn't know how to answer, nodded and said, "Thank you, merciful Lord Menes, I will always be there for you!"
