Chapter 482

Lord Dayton, the Lord of Songlin Town, led Victor into the study of the castle. Here, Victor met Gillian's father, count chebman.

Lord Dayton bowed to his Lord, turned and left the study, closed the door and let the two adults talk alone.

Victor and count chebman exchanged greetings and sat down. He looked at the simple furniture furnishings and three yellow green sand candles in his study and said with a smile, "Lord Dayton is really frugal. He only lights three candles for his Lord."

"Well... Thrift is a valuable virtue." Count chebman nodded seriously and added, "these three candles are prepared by Dayton for your excellency. If I visit Songlin town alone, he won't light me any candles."

"..." Victor was silent and said bluntly, "this is a private meeting. There are no records of the meeting and no witnesses. We can speak freely without concealment."

"I agree."

Victor stopped worrying that he was only worth three candles and asked count chebman, "you asked Gillian to tell me about yeliucheng. What does the chebman family want from me?"

Count chebman seemed ready, and the jaw head said: "On January 1 of this year's land season, the old Marquis of SoLIM left the copper city with two attendants. He paid too much for the SoLIM family and thought too little for himself, so he never had a chance to come back. Of course, according to the tradition of holding life and death trials for Knights, the church and the king will have to wait another five years before announcing the high-ranking Knight of the Kingdom, the Marquis of SoLIM family, Berne SOLIN The news of the meteorite. "

"Copper city will have a new master." Count chebman leaned against the hard pine chair and said with a smile, "the blood of the southern Lord's family goes back to SoLIM. According to the blood inheritance right of the glorious code, each SoLIM can legally own the copper city. As for his surname, it doesn't matter... SoLIM, Buryat or chebman."

"Your Excellency should be able to see that since the decline of SoLIM's blood, the southern lords want to cultivate their own blood. Our chebman family is the most successful."

The chebman family has four great knights, maybe five... The eldest daughter of the count chebman couple is a Silver Knight, and their young son also has the opportunity to step into the silver rank.

Victor agreed and said, "the strength of the chebman family is also the strongest."

Count chebman bowed his head with dignity and said with a little pride: "chebman can have today, in addition to luck, it is also inseparable from the virtue of thrift."

"..." Victor looked around, spread out his hands and asked, "do you have any plans?"

"We want to enter the copper city directly." Count chebman paused and said, "the elder families of kite castle, Gambis and the church have expressed goodwill to chebman, but chebman needs to be recognized by the southern Lord family. From the standpoint of the southern Lord, chebman must express his views on the issue of yeliucheng."

"Kite castle, York, Wellington, Joshua and Nim redistribute the share of shops in yeliucheng. Why should chebman be excluded? Even if chebman is not the leader of the southern Lord family, copper city should not be deprived of its right to speak in yeliucheng market."

"Yeliucheng market was created by you, and Mrs. Judy is your spokesman. Since Randall family is also excluded, can we make a voice together?" Count chebman waved his hand and said with a smile, "this is my original intention to let Gillian test your excellency... Of course, my daughter, she doesn't know."

"I know she doesn't know." Victor muttered in his heart, shook his head and said with a smile, "what can I do with a little Viscount? What reason do I have to make a voice?"

Count chebman looked at Victor quietly for a few seconds and said calmly: "the church generally entrusts the casting of copper sol to the king. The SoLIM family took over the casting of copper sol in order to win the support of the church, but the main reason is that there are many copper in the south. Otherwise, how can kite Castle agree to let the SoLIM family cast copper sol?"

Victor's eyes flashed and asked in a deep voice, "you entrusted Randall family to forge copper sol, which also means kite castle?"

Count chebman nodded: "Five million copper sols are cast a year, but only one million copper sols are lost, worth 772 gold sols. The chebman family can afford this money. Moreover, the price of copper continues to rise, and the value of copper sols is also increasing. The loss of casting copper sols will only be smaller. Kite Castle supports the chebman family to enter the copper city, but does not want us to get too close to the church. However, the Regent asked me , entrust the casting right of copper sol to the Randall family. "

"You want to forge copper sol, and kite castle will satisfy you, but his highness Williams will satisfy you through the chebman family. You should know the reason."

The reason is, of course, the purchase and suppression of Victor by the kite castle. If Williams directly handed over the coinage to the Randall family, Victor would only recognize Sylvia's kindness. Now, Victor has to thank count chebman. In this way, the kite Castle declares an untrue fact that the Randall family is the independent Lord of Gambis and the object of loyalty is the king The fact is that the independent lords of Gambis have their own camps, and the Randall family is obviously an important member of the human horse hill system.

However, since it is entrusted to mint coins, kite castle can take back the entrustment and form a clamp. For example, raising the annual casting quota of 5 million to 20 million, the Randall family could not afford the loss of copper sol and had to give up coinage.

Victor has fire crystal furnace technology. For every 10 million gold sols cast, an additional 1.7 million copper sols can be added, equivalent to 1311 gold sols. Coupled with the coinage income brought by currency appreciation, the direct profit of casting 10 million copper sols is at least 2000 gold sols.

The more you cast, the more you earn.

The question is, how can kite Castle know the real secret of Victor's casting copper sol?

Victor raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "casting copper sol is a loss making business, and I don't have to."

"This is not an attitude of 'speaking freely'."

Count chebman shook his head, his narrow eyes with a cunning smile, "Lord Randall is famous for his wisdom, and your every move has attracted people's attention. No matter whether you understand your deep meaning now or not, you can't make a layout in advance." At this point, count chebman shook his head: "At the beginning, I couldn't understand the reason why you cast copper pence and copper sol... Randall has a population of 100000. How much money can you receive every year by levying transaction tax on migrant workers' families? Maybe it's not enough for the loss of copper sol and copper penny... You can't see your layout until you clearly put forward the tenant system."

Count chebman patted the table and exclaimed: "The tenant system is a wonderful idea! The refugee family does not offer sacrifices to the Lord, but the leading family does. The tenant is not a leader and is not a refugee. You have perfectly solved the problem of tenant worship with copper pence and transaction tax. With the tenant system, the human horse hill can accommodate more refugees and make up for the shortage of employees. If Randall has 300000 tenants, they will pay transaction tax It's quite impressive. "

Count chebman Howe did not hide his exclamation and admiration. Victor was secretly proud, shook his head and said with a smile: "The tenant system has two major functions, one is to transform the refugees, and the other is to recover the power of Lord vassal. The preconditions for the implementation of the tenant system are the land and the refugee population. Unfortunately, you don't have these conditions. Of course, the human horse hill is also a last resort... If there are enough leaders, who will be willing to teach the refugees?"

"There will be land, and there will only be more displaced people."

Count chebman nodded and then said, "through these things, I can see two problems. Your influence on kite castle is very small; you are very short of money. If you publicly oppose the shop distribution plan of yeliucheng, chebman will be the first to stand up and support your family."

Victor took a deep look at chebman, shook his head and said, "it's impossible... Your Excellency didn't tell me the truth."

"I just came back from Yeliu city... Now Yeliu city is more prosperous. The market area of Yeliu city can be called an inch of land and an inch of gold. The reason is because of the fish man war!"

"The soldiers and supplies of kite castle, Joshua, Wellington and Nim family need a foothold for southward transportation. The soldiers' rotation and rest also need a place to relax, that is, yeliucheng. But chebman and Randall don't have this demand. I stand up against the distribution plan of yeliucheng market shops, which is lack of reasonable basis. Compared with the interests of yeliucheng, you and I can't accept it His family's army is stationed in the chebman or Randall. Similarly, the Lords of the south are more afraid of the Knights and armies of other forces staying on their territory for a long time. "

"The fish man war and the river crossing South expansion are the general trend of the kingdom. The transportation of Buryat is convenient. Yeliucheng is close to two ports at the same time. It is the best trade hub and personnel and material transfer station. The layout of yeliucheng market by major families is to ensure the neutral position of the Buryat family." Victor shook his head and said, "anyone who opposes this plan is doomed to be futile. But if chebman wants to be the leader of the Southern family, he must show himself in front of the blood family... No matter what the result is, it's better to do than do nothing."

"I'm not a southern blood Lord, and no one dares to lead troops in Randall." Victor said with a smile: "Lord chebman encouraged me to oppose the distribution plan of yeliucheng market shops. What do you mean?"

Count chebman thought for a moment and said, "I admit that I want to use your power to express the attitude of the Southern family to kite Castle - don't take anything from us."

This... Is it loyalty? The southern leader mainly follows me?

Victor was startled and said tentatively, "what power can I have? Sir, are you sure it's not the power of the York family?"

"The York family is involved... They can't support me." Count chebman shook his head and looked at Victor with deep meaning. "As for the future, who knows?" Then he shrugged his shoulders and said, "anyway, it's no loss to shout after you now."

What an old fox... Victor couldn't cry or laugh. He scolded secretly and said, "it's better to do things well with two meaningless cries."

"Chebman doesn't have enough shops in yeliucheng market. How about building a market by himself?"

Count chebman raised his head and said in surprise, "pine town?"

"Yes!" Victor's jaw head said: "the royal family finally chewed off the hard bone of SoLIM. How can chebman be allowed to grow up? The Kingdom's suppression of the southern blood Lords is inevitable. However, step by step, step by step, and finally, it's scattered. If I'm right, kite Castle is extracting copper city and accumulating wealth for hundreds of years."

Count chebman said expressionless, "many trainee knights in SoLIM moved to the king's capital... And took their property."

The SoLIM family has at least 600 trainee Knights trained in blood. The royal family now has a golden potion formula. Naturally, we can't let go of this potential power. Sylvia showed enough sense. What the York family needs most at present is to lay a solid foundation. It would rather develop slowly than expand too fast. The Randall family can't control SoLIM's trainee knights. These guys will stick together. But for the count of chebman, the apprentice Knight of the copper city was like digging his flesh, which made him feel painful.

Victor nodded his sympathy and said, "if they don't give you one, you can build one yourself. There's no better response than this. The situation in yeliucheng won't change until primo turns 12. There are more than three years left, and I'm fully confident of developing the market in Songlin town..."

Count chebman chuckled, waved his hand, interrupted Victor, and said, "if that's the purpose of your invitation to me... I agree."

"Don't be surprised."

Count chebman stood up and said, "we have common interests, and each has something in the other's hands. I can see your ambition... But I would like to advise you that Randall's population is increasing, and the secret silver mine should be closed. If your highness Sylvia knows, you and I will be in great trouble."

"One day, our southern lords may be loyal to Lord Randall." He gave Victor A knightly salute and said politely, "I hope you can have a good sleep in Songlin castle. I'm leaving."

Watching count chebman open the wooden door, Victor couldn't help shouting: "Lord chebman, I don't care who the southern Lord will be loyal to... I just want to remind you that Gillian is mine... Don't force her to do what she doesn't want, I will only respect her own will!"

Count chebman was stunned, laughed and pushed the door out. "Victor, I don't care about you and Gillian."

In the study of Songlin castle, night moths fly around candles. Victor sat alone for a long time, bent his fingers to pop up a mass of air, extinguished the three disturbing candles, leaned against his chair and sighed, "I'm not ready... Everything is coming..."

"There is no fuel-efficient lamp!"
