Chapter 273: Scrooge Iona

When he saw Horn, Luo Lin could hardly recognize him. He hadn't seen him for a year. He became a lot richer. He wore a good black silk robe. He seemed to be a bit fatter. He was just a landlord. Looks like.
"Oh, my friend, you are fat." Rollin laughed haha.
"It's not that I'm fat, it's that I'm strong. I have been practicing martial arts, how can I get fat?" Horn squinted and looked up and down Luo Lin: "You are more majestic than before."
Now Luo Lin is wearing a black leather robe, his body is getting stronger, he seems to have grown a little taller, and looks tall and mighty. Everything on him looks very random, but as long as you look carefully, you can find a lot of extraordinary. The robe on his body is very simple, but he uses the best leather, not the good things that the nobles can’t buy, the hair and The beard looks very casual, but it is casual and not sloppy. It is obviously taken care of by someone. He also wore a ring on his left hand. The body of the ring shone with fine silver light. At first glance, it was made of Mithril. Such a ring is at least three hundred gold coins. It is a family heraldic ring and cannot be worn by non-nobles.
There is also Luo Lin's temperament, which is much more graceful than a year ago. Standing in the crowd, others can recognize him as a lord at a glance, and he is undoubtedly a high lord.
Luo Lin laughed: "You are the chief manager of this place, and you have to receive me well this time. But I came here secretly this time, so don't show up."
For example, now, the only person who came to receive was Horn, and he didn't even bring his servants. It is true that Lord Maple Leaf, Luo Lin, is somewhat sensitive to this place.
"I understand." Horn laughed: "Where to go first? Should I take you to the resting bedroom or to the chamber?"
"The Chamber. Just the four of us, there are some things to be done immediately." Luo Lin said.
So, under Horn's leadership, Vianna, Iona, and Rollin entered a room on the top of the castle. The room is not too big, fifty square meters, divided into two front and back rooms, the back room, even the door is soundproof.
The four finally arrived in the secret room.
There is not much in the secret room. A table and a few chairs, because it is a room on the top of the castle, all have skylights open, and a beam of light shines directly from the skylight on the tabletop.
After sitting down, Luo Lin bluntly stated the purpose of coming this time: "The Orc King Sorge went directly to the royal capital Fire Lion City to find me. He asked me to help withdraw the Orcs from the south. I agreed, and I am going to go sea and land. , Go to the Cape of the South China Sea and ask the orc tribe to ship to the Sapphire Islands."
Horn was surprised at first. Then he fell into deep thought. After ten seconds, he said: "How can the undead put such pressure on the orcs?"
This is the reason why Luo Lin only approached Horn to discuss. He was very sensible, and his judgment was rarely influenced by emotions. For example, now, of course he hates orcs, but he can consider the overall situation. This is simple to say. But few people on Fix Island can do it.
The only two Luo Lin knew and trusted were Horn and Vianna, and now Iona was added. Although this Frost Dragon looked a little unreliable, it was actually due to her character, but like this kind of existence that had lived for three to four hundred years, her mind was sober.
"Very large. The undead spread their power. Obviously, the orcs in the Hengduan Mountains in the south are a very good target. Although the Hengduan Mountains are vast, they can't resist the undead's net hunting. I estimate that the orcs will hide at most for the first half of the year. , There is no way to go back."
"Sure enough," Horn said: "I will arrange the boat immediately. How much do I need?"
"The more the better."
"Then you have to requisition merchant ships. If you requisition all the merchant ships that move in the port. There should be more than one hundred, with iron armored ships, that can transport 30,000 people at a time." Horn is very clear about the situation on Fix Island. Mental calculation, and got the result.
"Thirty thousand people. Very good." Luo Lin nodded: "The Orc King's tribe now has 70,000 people, of which more than 10,000 are newly born half-orcs. This does not occupy space, that is 60,000. I originally estimated that There are three trips, and now it seems that the situation is much better."
The development of Fix Island has exceeded his estimates, which made Rolin very pleased.
"But there is a problem." Horn frowned: "Fix Island now relies on free trade to attract ship owners from all over the world. If they want to requisition ships, they have to compensate them for their losses. One hundred large ships, at least two during the requisition period. That month, the profit generated by each ship is at least 5,000 gold coins, and we have to compensate at least 80%, which is 40,000 gold coins. It’s hard to come out of this money."
"Forty thousand? Not too much, right?" Luo Lin remembers that the wealth made by the Primo family had millions of gold coins. Although they were given to Duke Lehman more than half, they were not used in a year. Light it.
Horn smiled bitterly.
Vianna on the side explained: "According to your thoughts, Horne scattered nearly two million gold coins in more than a year. For example, this castle cost a full one million gold coins. Of course, The effect is also very obvious. After the castle was built, the whole wharf became prosperous."
Horn also spread his hands: "The current financial situation barely maintains a balance of income and expenditure. The business is prosperous, and the daily flow of gold coins is very large, but if you use cash, the maximum is only 20,000, and more will appear. problem."
"You spend money really fast." Luo Lin teased.
Iona on the side couldn't understand: "The situation is urgent, just expropriate it directly. What compensation is there? Are you not the lord?"
Iona's words represent the general rules of the mainland. Fortunately, if it is wartime, the military's power will be expanded to the limit, and any wealth of the people can be directly requisitioned. As for compensation, even if you return it afterwards, even if it is kind, you have nothing to say if you don't return it.
But those present, both Horn and Vianna were brainwashed by Rollin’s set of statements. Luo Lin and Horn hadn’t spoken to refute, and Vianna directly despised:
If you do this, the whole continent will soon Become your desolate far north. The higher you are, the more you must restrain yourself in order to truly rule for a long time, otherwise everything will be destroyed!"
"I don't understand you." Iona dismissed it.
The three of them ignored him and continued the discussion. Luo Lin said: "Perhaps you can go to private wealthy people to borrow money, you can promise to return it with interest in the future, and give them some business privileges, such as tax reduction?"
If Luo Lin has the money. He is out, the problem is that his pocket is empty. The Earls Mansion has more than 10,000 gold coins, which is to provide daily expenses and maintain the earl mansion's pomp. This represents the majesty of the lord and cannot be reduced at will.
And Luo Lin's method, in terms of the earth, is to issue national debt.
"It's a good way, but it's a bit indecent." Horn smacked his lips and gave this conclusion.
"It just works. Decent or something. I'll talk about it later." Luo Lin said.
Iona on the side can't listen anymore. Look at the shabby of these two people. They have to borrow these tens of thousands of gold coins to survive. Is this still a lord? What a shame.
"Since you want to borrow, don't find someone else. Just ask me. I will come out as much as you want!" Iona threw her magic package on the table boldly.
"Can I see it?" Luo Lin asked.
"No matter what." Iona looked like a nouveau riche.
Luo Lin took a look at it, and saw a golden mountain in it. There was a huge pile of ten meters high, and it was so golden that it would brighten the eyes of the blind.
"Why is there so much?" This is only a lot more than the wealth of the Primo family. It is said that the Primo family is the richest in the world. It turns out that the biggest rich man is in the far north!
"She is a miser, more than a hundred years ago. She found a small island producing gold in the center of the Far North. She dug it for fifty years before digging it out." Vianna said, she knew this. Because at a certain time Iona always showed off her wealth.
Horn also took a look at the magic package, and then stayed, and then was heartache, how much power can be mobilized for such a large amount of gold, if this money is injected into Fix Island. Let him call freely, and he can definitely reproduce the glory of Vendome quickly.
Now this money is piled up here. Moving from a mine on an island to a magical package of a dragon is exactly the same as it had never been mined. What a waste, a great waste!
Luo Lin has already spoken: "Can you take them all?"
"The beauty of thinking!" Iona grabbed the magic package, and she learned quickly: "If you want to get money from here, you have to open an IOU and give me privileges..."
She suddenly stopped, stunned, and then she seemed to be stunned: "Haha, I suddenly thought of a good idea. I will borrow money and collect interest and use the money to make money for me. God, this idea is really good. It's great, why didn't I expect it before?"
The more I said, the brighter Iona's eyes became, as if she had found an excellent toy.
"Isn't this just a loan shark? I thought you had a good idea." Vianna hit her.
Rollin and Horn looked at each other, feeling a little surprised. No matter what method is used, as long as the money can be taken out of Iona's package.
Horn immediately said: "Your such a large sum of money must be very troublesome to take care of. I can find you a large number of clerks, all of whom have been professionally trained. I think they will definitely be able to protect you. Fortune."
Luo Lin thought more, he suggested: "Iona, you have so many gold coins for protection, I have a good idea, don't you listen?"
"You said." Iona tightly covered her magical package. She saw the greedy green light in the eyes of Rollin and Horn. These two guys must be thinking of her gold coins.
Luo Lin sorted out his thoughts: "I think you can make a name and open a vault, for example, the giant dragon vault. Let the merchants deposit your excess money, and then you give them a voucher, waiting for them to use it. When you come to you with your voucher, you will give him money and charge a small amount of coins as a storage fee."
"That's OK?" Iona opened her eyes wide, and realized that this method of making money is also very good. You don't need to pay anything, just collect money at home.
"Of course. A few gold coins are fine. But a thousand, ten thousand gold coins are not a small amount~EbookFREE.me~ Not everyone is willing to buy a magic package with thousands of gold coins, and there are many. The quality of the magic package is very poor, and it breaks if you are not careful. If it were not for nothing, who would want to run around with such a large piece of metal, with the risk of being robbed in the middle?"
At this point, Iona fully understood, and she smiled openly: "I have to say, Luo Lin, you are not only a soldier, but also a profiteer!"
Luo Lin laughed: "In fact, these methods have been used by private businessmen, but they are small in scale and not widely spread, but the methods are really good."
"Well, my first business was to lend 30,000 gold coins to the Primo family. Horn, you quickly find the clerk for me, and I will open the voucher. Well, I will put it on the voucher My magic mark, see who dares to fake it!"
Come on, I really didn't see that this frost dragon was still a business genius. A few people discussed this, and they came up with the most primitive bank.
After that, the four discussed the details of the expropriation of merchant ships, and Horn went to work. (To be continued)
