Chapter 969: Regal unpredictable

Most people looked at the golden crystal card in Zhao Tianlong's hand blankly. Not to mention they had seen it before, many people had never heard of it.
In fact, with the exception of Zhang Jinhui, the Minister of Finance, most people have never touched the Golden Crystal Card, which is a strange existence to most people.
The reason for saying this is that the gold crystal card will not be circulated in the market at all, and almost no one has seen it before, and very few people have heard of it.
Gold crystal cards are often a stored-value card for transactions between countries, and the transaction amount between countries is often very large.
If you really use the black crystal card, you will get two hundred cards for one hundred million, two thousand for one hundred million, and 20,000 cards for ten billion. This is really inconvenient, so the golden crystal card It came into being.
A full gold crystal card holds one billion gold coins, while the eleven gold crystal cards in Zhao Tianlong's hand are 11 billion gold coins.
There is only one Jucaiyuan Chamber of Commerce in the world that can issue gold crystal cards. This is related to the fact that the Jucaiyuan Chamber of Commerce can open branches all over the world. Of course, the most important thing is the economic strength of the Jucaiyuan Chamber of Commerce.
And this gold crystal card can only be accessed by people at the national level. Don’t look at the cooperation between Li Zhenbang and the Jucaiyuan Chamber of Commerce for so long. The black crystal cards are packed in boxes, but I still haven’t got a gold crystal card. .
"Your Majesty, these golden crystal cards... don't seem to belong to the treasury?" Zhang Jinhui looked at Zhao Tianlong in amazement and asked with some doubts, but his tone was very positive.
In fact, Zhang Jinhui was very sure in his heart that these eleven gold crystal cards were definitely not taken from the treasury. Because every gold crystal card has a unique logo, he remembers the logo of every gold crystal card in the treasury clearly, and Zhao Tianlong has never seen the logo of the eleven gold crystal cards. Over.
"These golden crystal cards are my own. There are eleven cards in total, each of which is one billion yuan. You can withdraw cash or consume directly at any Jucaiyuan Chamber of Commerce."
Hearing Zhao Tianlong's words, everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
One billion gold coins is not too difficult for a wealthy aristocrat to take out, but this is 11 billion!
Being able to take out so many gold coins at once is not what ordinary wealthy nobles can do, let alone ordinary wealthy nobles, even the vast majority of old-brand wealthy families, I am afraid that they want to take out so many gold coins at once. It's not that easy.
One more thing, no matter how old the giants are, they have never owned a gold crystal card, and even a large number of people have never heard of it. There is even a crystal card that can store one billion gold coins in this world. This completely subverts them. Cognition.
Many established families feel privately that their family’s wealth has become richer than that of the country. Especially in recent years, the treasury has been empty and fiscal revenue has continued to be in deficit. Some people even feel that their family can already surpass the country.
But at this time, when they saw the Golden Crystal Card that they had never seen before, their hearts began to faint. With a gold crystal card of one billion gold coins, Zhao Tianlong, who can take out 11 billion at will without caring, let them fully understand what a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
Zhao Tianlong had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, especially those few unruly families in recent years, it seemed to have been shocked by his own hand.
However, Zhao Tianlong seemed to have already guessed that this would be the result, so there was nothing surprising about it. However, the flash of complacency in his eyes showed that he was very satisfied with the effect of this step of his temporary intention.
"Here is a total of 11 billion. If I remember correctly, this year’s military expenditure plus the military arrears before, should total 10,735,265,424 gold coins. , Right?" Zhao Tianlong looked at Li Zhanfeng and said softly.
"Your Majesty... the minister... is guilty!" Before Li Zhanfeng could reply, Zhang Jinhui's body became weak and he collapsed directly to the ground, crying in tears.
Zhang Jinhui knew very well in his heart that if he owed such a huge amount of military expenses, he might not escape the death penalty. He only hoped that Zhao Tianlong would count the accounts on his own, and not hurt his family.
In fact, Zhang Jinhui knew very well that the fact that he was in arrears of military expenses must be hidden from Zhao Tianlong's eyes, but he did it entirely for the Carlo Empire, and he had a clear conscience.
Since he sat in the position of Minister of Finance, he has not greeted even a copper coin. The reason why he is in arrears with military expenses is because he really has no choice.
He calculated the amount of arrears of military expenditures accurately, and each time the military expenditures were paid on the premise that the soldiers could eat their food, there was a certain amount of surplus.
Although Zhang Jinhui was not from a military background, he also knew the importance of the army. He knew that soldiers should not be hungry. Otherwise, once a war breaks out, how can a group of thin-faced fighters deal with enemies like wolves and tigers?
But he is not a god, he can't turn stones into gold, he really can't guarantee the income of soldiers, because the treasury is really out of money.
In fact, Zhang Jinhui has always had a clear conscience. Sitting on such a fat, he can hold the bottom line and not be greedy for the slightest bit of ink. Looking at the entire empire, how many people can do it? However, arrears of military expenditures are not a glorious thing after all, so he worked hard and decisively, but also worked cautiously.
Naturally, he did not dare to take the initiative to be honest with Zhao Tianlong on such arrears of military expenses. Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if Zhao Tianlong knew about the arrears of military expenses, he should not know the specific amount of arrears.
But Zhao Tianlong not only knew it, but was also accurate to a gold coin. This was really horrible. It became the last straw that overwhelmed Zhang Jinhui and completely broke him.
"Zhang Aiqing, get up! I know how you are. I don't mean to blame you. But...in the future, I hope you can discuss with me before making a decision." Zhao Tianlong did not Called Zhang Jinhui's name, but directly called him Zhang Aiqing. It can be seen that Zhao Tianlong should not be angry with Zhang Jinhui, but the last sentence is obviously to beat him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Jinhui knocked his head like garlic, his forehead was already bleeding, and he kept knocking his head.
"Well, Zhang Aiqing, you should go down and dress up and take a good rest! An exception today allows you to leave early." Zhao Tianlong thought he was very humorous and joked.
"Your Majesty, the guilty minister has something to say, the minister is not only procrastinating..." Zhang Jinhui raised his head and looked at Zhao Tianlong, with blood flowing down his forehead.
"Zhang Aiqing, you go down first! What you want to say, after the morning session is over, I will see you alone." Zhao Tianlong waved to Zhang Jinhui, interrupted Zhang Jinhui, and signaled that he can go down.
"Yes, the guilty minister retire first!" Zhang Jinhui went down and bandaged with the help of the eunuch.
After Zhang Jinhui went out, Zhao Tianlong looked at Li Zhanfeng again, "I said that the total arrears of military expenditure is correct, right?"
"This... Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know." Li Zhanfeng took a step forward, lowered his head, clasped his fists and arched his hands, and responded with some embarrassment.
Zhao Tianlong frowned, his voice became a little louder, "As the Deputy Minister of the Military, why don't you know the specific military expenses?"
"His Majesty, the minister is guilty! The main reason is that the military expenses in arrears in the past few years are too much. The soldiers guard the happiness and dignity of the country and the people. They must not let them shed blood, sweat and tears. Even the most basic guarantees are guaranteed. Can't it?"
"So our Red Maple Leaf family tried every means, even the members of the family were frugal and paid for themselves, but the strength of our family is really a drop in the bucket and can only provide the soldiers with the most basic protection. Alas!" Li Zhanfeng shook his head and sighed. , Seems to be very self-blame.
"We know that the country is very difficult now. We did not expect this money to be returned, so we did not keep the accounts. This is why we don't know the total amount of military arrears, but I know how much money our country still owes soldiers. "
"Oh? Then tell me, on your account, how much money does the Carlo Empire owe the soldiers?" Although Zhao Tianlong had known these things for a long time, he was still a little moved after hearing Li Zhanfeng's personal statement.
"The total amount owed is 6,655,943,173 gold coins." Li Zhanfeng said categorically without hesitation.
"That said, your Red Maple Leaf Family has already paid more than four billion gold coins for the Empire?" Zhao Tianlong said softly.
"His Majesty, this minister really doesn't know. If you said that the total military expenditure is not a problem, by comparison, it should be almost the same!" Li Zhanfeng was also secretly shocked, unexpectedly the family had already paid so many gold coins.
Others don't know, his patriarch is very clear. In fact, a considerable part of these gold coins were contributed by Li Qishan, and the reason why Li Qishan can contribute so many gold coins has a lot to do with Li Zhenbang.
To be precise, these gold coins were contributed by Li Zhenbang to the family in a different situation. Although the family did not give Li Zhenbang too much help, Li Zhenbang still has a family in his heart, and it can even be said that he has done his best for the family.
Li Zhanfeng had secretly made a decision in his heart. In any case, he must do his best to protect Li Zhenbang, but the vice minister of the military quit, and even the patriarch did not do it, he wanted to protect Li Zhenbang.
Zhao Tianlong nodded, "This is 11 billion gold coins. The extra part is even a tribute to your loyal and patriotic Red Maple Leaf family!"
Li Zhanfeng was dumbfounded, and at the same time he shook his heart.
This is equivalent to taking more than 200 million gold coins in vain. Is this Zhao Tianlong's disguised use of 200 million gold coins as compensation? With the compensation of 200 million gold coins, what exactly does Zhao Tianlong want to do to Li Zhenbang?
