Chapter 1620: ""

What we most want to show off is precisely what we don't have.
Kanagawa Ryusuke (Japanese novelist)
Has the White Horse Kingdom been short of money recently? The answer must be missing, and it is still the kind of strange lack! Although the war indemnities of one billion gold coins have been paid by the Holy See to the Dragon Dragon Empire in one lump sum, the four provinces of Murcia, Valencia, Castilla, Andalusia, etc. redeemed up to four billion gold coins. The repayment is not so easy to pay, especially for the white horse kingdom where the treasury is empty.
Even if the redemption of these 4 billion gold coins is paid in five years, the 850 million gold coins that need to be paid every year with this interest bearing is still an astronomical figure; such a huge sum of money, not to mention that the national strength is not strong The White Horse Kingdom, even if the deep-dragon empire is to be taken out within three months, it is almost impossible, unless it is to directly borrow money from the top mainland chamber of commerce such as the Westminster Chamber of Commerce.
Without the intervention of the Holy See, the Westminster Chamber of Commerce would be willing to provide a loan of 850 million gold coins to the White Horse Kingdom; after all, the White Horse Kingdom is a big country with a population of more than 100 million in 14 provinces, Westminster The Special Chamber of Commerce does not have to worry about the other party not getting the loan, but can also make a profit from it. It can even take this opportunity to obtain political privileges in the White Horse Kingdom.
The point of the problem is that the Holy See intervened in this matter as early as when the Dragon Empire and the White Horse Kingdom negotiated a truce, and personally led the huge redemption of the White Horse Kingdom; in such a large environment, including the Westminster Chamber of Commerce It is naturally impossible for all the top chambers of commerce in the mainland to lend their gold coins to the White Horse Kingdom, because the price of getting this small profit is enemies against the Holy See.
Even Bai Feng, who is embracing the Tianlong Empire, is trying to avoid a head-on conflict with the Holy See. How can the top mainland chambers of commerce that seem to be rich and bright, but lack the foundation, how can they put their lives and death in a dangerous situation for the sake of small profits?
After realizing the intentional and unintentional obstruction of the Chamber of Commerce of the Holy See, the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, the strongest chamber of commerce in the mainland, decisively gave up their original idea of ​​trying to take advantage of the fire and bait in the Kingdom of White Horse. Then, they contacted again. The Chamber of Commerce of the Holy See proposed to replace part of the market of the Holy See in the Principality of Kassel and the Principality of Feathers with their markets in the Kingdom of White Horse, as well as some political privileges.
The Holy See is quite satisfied with the current affairs of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce. The Holy See Chamber of Commerce, which has obtained permission from the Holy See headquarters, first agreed to the unilateral replacement request made by the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, and then gave extra The Westminster Chamber of Commerce's fixed assets with a total value of 100 million gold coins; obviously, this is the Holy See's voluntary concession in return to the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, and it is a big deal.
Other top mainland chambers of commerce, some followed the Westminster Chamber of Commerce and subsequently submitted a request for replacement to the Holy See Chamber of Commerce, and some remained in the White Horse Kingdom in the form allowed by the Holy See to continue to make money; in short, all choose to abandon the White Horse Kingdom market The chambers of commerce have all been well compensated by the Holy See. They chose to stay in the White Horse Kingdom to make money, as long as they do not lend money to the White Horse Kingdom.
The White Horse Kingdom Government, which failed to borrow a gold coin from the major chambers of commerce, was forced to start with its own large domestic chambers of commerce; when the object of borrowing money changed from the top mainland chambers of commerce in mainland China to the large domestic chambers of commerce, the White Horse Kingdom Government 'S attitude is much worse.
As the orders of their kings were issued, the officials and nobles responsible for the specific implementation were trying to squeeze the major chambers of commerce in their empty treasury, while extorting the merchants behind the chambers of commerce for their own personal purses. There are only a few dozen or so large commercial chambers in the White Horse Kingdom who can survive this extortion squeeze, all of which have a very hard official background.
The bankruptcy of nearly a hundred large chambers of commerce has left the White Horse Kingdom's original empty treasury with more than 530 million gold coins. This does not include the seven hundred and eighty-eight million yuan of the Kingdom's official system and noble system that are vested interests. gold.
The bankruptcy of one large chamber of commerce after another made officials and nobles of the White Horse Kingdom become rich overnight. The easy-to-raise wealth is the most distracting self. The nobles of the white horse officials who immersed in them quickly pointed the butcher knife again. Other small-scale chambers of commerce in Whitehorse; under the banner of the Royal Government, they started their fortune-making journey in a nearly clear-cut manner.
When this unhealthy wind that rose from the capital of the White Horse was blown across the entire Kingdom of the White Horse Kingdom, the irony in the Chinese history of'Bokjia County Order, Mengmenling Yin' became the best chaos in the White Horse Kingdom. Interpretation, so that the White Horse Special Zone set up in the Galician Province ceded by the White Horse Kingdom and the Asturias Province by the Dragon Empire was affected by the chaos in the White Horse Kingdom.
The Santander Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of White Horse, and the chamber with the hardest official background, no one! In the White Horse Kingdom without the Royal Chamber of Commerce, the Santander Chamber of Commerce, which is secretly controlled by the Crown Prince, is almost the actual Royal Chamber of Commerce; therefore, the Santander Chamber of Commerce has many political privileges in the White Horse Kingdom that are unmatched by other chambers of commerce.
There are more political privileges, and it is inevitable that they will also bear some political responsibilities that should not be borne by them. This is the price that must be paid to enjoy political privileges; the Santander Chamber of Commerce, which enjoys various political privileges, needs to bear in recent times The political responsibility is to continuously deliver food from the production areas in the western part of the White Horse Kingdom to Castilla and Andalusia, which have become border provinces.
The Duke of Anim and his army are now stationed in Castile and Andalusia. It is conceivable how much the hundreds of thousands of forages are demanding for food; but because the White Horse government is unwilling To spend money to hire a caravan to transport grain and grass for the army, so the Crown Prince asked his Santander Chamber of Commerce to take the initiative to take this task and pay the Duke of Anim free of charge.
The official Santander Chamber of Commerce, while arranging military food for the White Horse Government free of charge, also arranged some small and medium-sized business associations attached to their chamber of commerce to send caravans to follow their grain transportation caravans; of course, these small and medium-sized business chambers of commerce What the team transports is not the grain for the front garrison, but some white horse kingdoms that have commodities that the Dragon Empire does not have, and high-end luxury goods that only the nobles use.
This is the nature of the merchants. Even if the Santander Chamber of Commerce is the official chamber of commerce created by the Prince Charming, the merchants in the chamber of commerce will still do some shameful business for their benefit; unfortunately, when this large-scale chamber of commerce enters When reaching the province of Castilla, the unhealthy winds spreading from the king to the local area also knocked down the province of Castilla, and there is an increasing trend.
