Chapter 1604: ""

It is a curse for mankind to live bravely even in sadness, but it must be a blessing.
Xin Haicheng (Japanese animation writer and film director)
The signing of the "Dragon Dragon-White Horse Armistice Treaty" made the intensified fighting in the southwestern area of ​​the Tianlong Empire and the eastern area of ​​the White Horse Kingdom suddenly stop. The two white horse troops surrounded by the Tianlong Grand Corps in the Lusongxing and Delexing Provinces of the Tianlong Empire Under the command of the Duke Anim of the White Horse Kingdom and under the close surveillance of the Dragon Army, they evacuated westward.
The 200,000 White Horse Army that was withdrawn from the province of Delehang can't actually be counted as an army. The White Horse generals who have been out of food for half a month have used all their well-preserved weapons and equipment to supervise their evacuation. The Tianlong Army exchanged enough food for them to eat for three days; then they used the loot they had previously searched for to exchange for food for five days.
The gold and silver jewelry worth tens of millions of gold coins only changed the food consumed by 200,000 soldiers for five days. This batch of food can be regarded as the most expensive food in the history of Tianlong Continent; of course, this sale was made with the White Horse Army. It was not the Tianlong army that supervised their evacuation from the territory of Tianlong, but the Sofia Chamber of Commerce caravans that came to a stable place in the southwestern empire with a large amount of food.
Under the premise that the provinces of Asturias and Galicia have been ceded to the Dragon Kingdom by the White Horse Kingdom, the eight-day food must not be enough to withdraw 200,000 White Horse troops to the White Horse Kingdom; this means, The business of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce can continue, even if the Duke Anim has no gold coins in his hand, he can still owe money on behalf of the White Horse Kingdom.
The White Horse Army, where all the livestock in the army had been slaughtered and eaten, was extremely slow to retreat, and the Sofia Chamber of Commerce caravans behind them sold two high-priced grains to them before they reluctantly retreated to Anda. Within the province of Lucia.
Although the Sofia Chamber of Commerce is only the Chamber of Commerce of the Dragon Empire, the name of the Royal Hohenzollern Chamber of Commerce still gave them a higher status than the general Chamber of Commerce on the mainland; even in the White Horse Kingdom, the nobles and officials of the White Horse Kingdom They did not dare to neglect the caravan of the Royal Chamber of Commerce from the victorious country, and even gave them more convenience.
All the way to the Sofia Chamber of Commerce of the White Horse King, their purpose was to serve two purposes: one is to transport a batch of grain and grass to the two yellow flags and two white flag armies of the marshal of Longdestead, who is about to withdraw; Talk to the officials responsible for foreign trade of the Ministry of Finance of the White Horse Kingdom about the scale of trade and the number of goods traded between the Sofia Chamber of Commerce and the White Horse Private Chamber of Commerce.
However, because two batches of sky-high grains were sold to the retreating White Horse Army, now the Sofia Chamber of Commerce caravan has an additional purpose, that is, to take two debts from the Duke of Anim and ask the White Horse Kingdom military for money; It looks like these are just two IOUs, but the amount above can be quite large. The smaller one is 5 million gold coins, and the larger one is 15 million gold coins.
20 million gold coins is a huge sum of money, even for a country like the White Horse Kingdom. It is a huge amount of money; the White Horse Kingdom, which is frantically raising the first 850 million gold coins for war compensation, can’t even get it out. 20 million gold coins to the Sofia Chamber of Commerce!
There are two yellow flags who have not evacuated outside the capital of the White Horse King. The head of the caravan of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce will not be polite to the people of the White Horse Kingdom. He directly took the people of his chamber to block the doors of the White Horse Army Department and the White Horse Finance Department. In this way, if you don’t pay the money, I’ll block your door, and you will experience a tall and unbridled victory over the country.
The Minister of Finance and the Minister of Finance of the White Horse Kingdom who really cannot come up with this huge sum of money can only close the door of his department to avoid the harassment of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce under the premise of not being able to treat the people of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce. He even used the caravan leader who had no money to block the door, but had no choice but to send someone to report this to Marshal Longdestead.
Marshal Ronderstad, who was ready to withdraw his troops, immediately received a notice from the head of the caravan of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce before he left, he immediately stopped his ongoing withdrawal and asked the army to set up a team again. The gesture of surrounding the white horse king capital.
The frightened King Hakuba, the defending generals, quickly reported this matter to their kings. King Alfonso, who also couldn’t get the gold coins, could only give death orders to his military and finance ministers, so that they must Resolve this matter within three days.
The White Horse Minister of Finance and the Minister of Finance after receiving the order of the King, after several discussions, decided to use various goods of the White Horse Kingdom to repay the 20 million gold coins on these two owed notes; there is no objection to the head of the caravan of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce in this way First, the price of commodities that the White Horse Kingdom is willing to take out is reduced to the cost price, and then they agree to use low-priced White Horse commodities to offset their arrears.
It was just a toss about this. The caravan of the Sofia Chamber of Commerce used two batches of grain with a domestic value of not more than 100,000 gold coins to exchange various commodities with a total value of more than 35 million gold coins in the Kingdom of White Horse. The profit factor is as high as Three hundred and fifty times!
Bai Feng, who learned of this matter, gave an instruction on this, that is, the Sofia Chamber of Commerce included this batch of white horse products with a total value of more than 35 million gold coins in all aspects, directly at a price of 20 million gold coins. It was sold to major chambers of commerce in the empire.
In Bai Feng’s view, the Sofia Chamber of Commerce is still earning a lot of money in exchange for grain worth 100,000 gold coins for 20 million gold coins, but it only reduces the additional income of 15 million gold coins; and those can be divided from this batch of commodities The major chambers of commerce of the empire earning 15 million gold coins will become vested interests in this war and thus supporters of the empire's external expansion.
You should know that all the medium and large chambers of commerce in the Dragon Empire are the industries of the noble families and business families of the empire. They are the people who really control the wealth of the empire; winning their support will produce the future expansion strategy of the empire. A crucial promotion role.
From the initial empire to include the Jurchen tribes in the northern grasslands, to the signing of mutually beneficial trade agreements between the empire and the Rheinland Business League, to the current empire's victory over the White Horse Kingdom, all the medium and large chambers of commerce in the empire, and the empire behind them Both aristocratic families and business families are benefiting from it; if the benefits continue to grow in the long run, can they refuse temptation?
Of course, Bai Feng is not afraid of these medium and large chambers of commerce, or the aristocratic families and business families behind the empire, so they become big and become a burden of the empire's tail; because the Sofia Chamber of Commerce in his hands will become the empire's largest monopoly chamber of commerce. Most small chambers of commerce and all large and medium-sized chambers of commerce will be subject to all-round supervision by the tragic dead and the Luowang.
