Vol 6 Chapter 51: Quietly changing state of affairs

The letter paper is full of complaints, all of which are the complaints of Little Yoder. The reason why Weber's "tyranny" Byrne can use three years to restore his vitality and maintain prosperity is half due to the funding of Ebden and the church of Byrne. The priests of "carrying money to flee"; the other half relies on this kind of near-bottom loan.
Once the Union Chamber of Commerce can no longer continue to maintain huge amounts of loans, it will be difficult for the Union Chamber of Commerce to effectively control the businessmen and the Chamber of Commerce everywhere. Loren would like to replicate the Centaur War, and mobilize the entire Principality ’s resources for an expedition, or to the cloud. The re-conquest of the Ling Kingdom will no longer be possible.
Because if Loren does not want his army to quickly transform from a disciplined knight into a gangster who does not do evil, "recruitment on the spot", they must provide them with sufficient logistics and salaries, which all require a lot of money.
In addition, Weber's "new reform" of the Bayern Church has also caused the Union Chamber of Commerce to lose a lot of money; without these peddling church assets and greedy and indulgent church priests, the Union Chamber of Commerce is equivalent to the absence of a batch of important " "Customer", a large amount of luxury goods cannot be sold, and exports are difficult to make a profit.
Luxury goods are always "less" to make money. Once the supply exceeds the demand, the profit will fall sharply, to the point of being unable to make ends meet.
The most direct consequence of these situations is the serious imbalance between the income and expenditure of the United Chamber of Commerce; without loans and borrowings, there is also an important source of usurped cash.
In the past three years, whether Loren promoted the new military system, established the Demon Hunter Corps, organized wizarding unions and colleges, and the later projects of the floating city ... all were huge loans from the Union Chamber of Commerce. Once the Union Chamber of Commerce If you can't lend money, you have to consider the issue of tax increase.
The little bite-cutting little Yoder used half the length of the text to warn Loren that the consequences of the continuation of such indulgence would collapse, and the Principality's finances would inevitably collapse; when something went wrong, he shouldn't say he didn't remind himself.
In a word: no money, do n’t look for me, you can do it yourself!
Gently lowering the letterhead in his hand, Loren didn't know what to say.
In addition to the situation of the Bayern Church, the rest is about the latest progress of some projects. The backbone of the road network connecting the thirteen leaders of Bayern has been completed, and the branch line work undertaken by the Earls of each leader has been completed;
The implementation of the new military system has begun to bear fruit. Charlotte Turin, in the name of "restoring the old system of the 'Duke of Black'", made the knights assembled in various places take turns to be stationed in the forts of the Red Blood Fort in batches.
The abolition of the compulsory system was changed to a "salaries" system, and it is expected that the Principality's finances can bear a standing army of 2,000 knights;
Charlotte's idea was to simply restore the "Knightly System" in the time of the King of Knights, but financially because of the recent acceptance of a large number of grassroots bureaucrats in the church, his hands were a bit tight;
The wizarding trade unions have good accounts and can already operate independently and bear half of the expenses of the wizarding school. They no longer need the Principality ’s financial expenditure; the condition is that the apprentice must be obliged to work for the trade union, and the trade union itself must have a place in the round table council;
This may cause dissatisfaction with certain counts, such as Earl Gallihus, who is known for his piety; but Weber should be able to persuade him to be the only advantage of this 'living saint'. This is the original saying of Little Yoder.
The city-states of the Yunling Kingdom in the south have gradually started negotiating with the Principality to discuss the conditions of "cooperation" (vassal); after the actual use of the floating city "Clarion Fort" is working well, it can be put into actual combat.
Isaac Grantham is very much looking forward to carrying out the "Phase II project" on top of this, and constructing a batch of simple "floating airships" to deter dwarf city-states; it is estimated that the investment is huge, and the Principality's finances are tight. Turnaround from Chamber of Commerce;
The rest are all introductory materials and accounts. In short, Jorde is trying to emphasize the importance of his "tax officer" to the Principality. At least for now, no one can replace his position.
Although they are right, they are all true; but while trying not to find him, they are trying to emphasize their importance ...
How arrogant is this guy ...?
"Well ... the plan remains the same, but it needs to be changed a little bit." The Dark Wizard sighed heavily: "We may have to return to the Red Blood Castle as soon as possible, even for a day!"
He seriously doubted that if he was not there, the gang could really break the Principality of Byrne apart.
"Is the situation ... really so serious?" The little wizard was a little sullen and looked at Loren with a hesitant expression.
"Why, why do you ask?"
"No ... don't get me wrong, I didn't doubt you, just ..." Ai Yin stared at him stunnedly, and then hesitated: "Just simply think that you might have guessed Loren in this situation."
The black wizard's expression was stiff, his mouth slightly twitched, and some lost sigh:
"Really ... nothing can hide from you."
"Ah? Really ?!" Even if it had been expected, the little wizard who was admitted to have guessed was still surprised.
"Uh ... I can't say that completely." Loren smiled bitterly and scratched his head. "Although I guessed that there must be a contradiction between Weber and Jody, I didn't expect it to be that serious."
"It turns out so ... but why did the two of them become like this?" The little wizard was confused. "There should not be any direct contradictions and conflicts between the Bayern Church and the Union Chamber of Commerce?"
"Not a direct conflict, but a deeper reason to lend business and debt, just an excuse for Little Yoder." Loren shook his head and looked at Ain indifferently: "He would do it because he felt Threatened. "
The little wizard who still didn't understand blinked and was very distressed.
Loren smiled slightly and didn't continue to explain.
In fact, the answer has been clearly written in the letter. The threat felt by Little Yoder is not from the benefit, but the status. He implicitly perceives that the Bayern Church, which will rise in the near future, will soon become the new core of the Principality ’s future. .
This powerful, semi-independent organization will use her resources and advantages to further consolidate the gradually rich and prosperous principality under a banner; in the next few years and even more than ten years, what Bain needs most is not wealth, but hearts and minds. .
This means that the status of the Union Chamber of Commerce, which had already become a decisive member in the Principality, will decline significantly. After all, there is only one leader in the court and only one second.
With the rise of newcomers, there must be an
old man
who must retreat to the second line; of course, Little Yoder refused to give up the power and resources he spent so long before he regained the power in the Bayern court. Resistance and suppression are inevitable. .
Except that the struggle between the two sides was too fierce, it was basically to a certain extent that Loren predicted that he supported the young priest Weber, and he already had the idea of ​​suppressing Little Yoder.
He doesn't mind that his subordinates are ambitious people, and they don't care if they have their own dreams. To a certain extent, this is actually better; after all, people who don't even have ambitions and dreams are mostly incapable.
As long as they can still use it for themselves or cooperate with themselves, then everything is easy to say.
Regardless of ambition, regardless of morality, as long as you are capable ... and then maintain a certain balance between these "mindless" and "dreamy" officials ...
Yes, like His Majesty Eckhart II in the Sky Dome.
The corners of the mouth raised, a little self-deprecating irony, whether it was himself, Brandon, or Charlotte Turin ...
Those of us ... really, unconsciously, became what we used to "hate".
"Nah ... Loren." The little wizard could not help but ask: "Who do you think is wrong this time?"
"What about you, Ain, who do you think is wrong this time?" The smiling black wizard threw the question back.
"I don't know ... I just think Little Yoder is pitiful." Ayin frowned lightly. "Although he did a lot of bad things, he almost did it only for Bain. Now he is asked to bear all the consequences alone. , Too much ... "
Ok?
Loren first opened his eyes wide, and then smiled dumbly.
"Do you even think of Ain?"
But the little wizard did not answer his question, but raised his eyebrows curiously.
"I ... do anyone but me say something similar?"
"Oh, no! I said casually, subconsciously ... you know, sometimes this is what happens without thinking."
The equivocal Loren waved his hand, silently hiding the letter from Charlotte in his sleeve, and looked at the little wizard with a suspicious expression naturally.

Actually, it ’s not wrong to understand this. I did everything I did, or at least was tacitly acquiesced by me; Xiao Bain won the Centaur War three years ago, but his finances are on the verge of collapse and taxation. You can't make ends meet; if you don't think of something as soon as possible, it's only a matter of time before you split again. "
The shocked Ai Yin looked stagnant, and did not expect that everything was going well at the time. It was so dangerous.
"At that time we were in a vicious relationship with the Yunling Kingdom and were hostile to the Sky Dome and the church. There are actually very few options available, so we can only authorize Little Yode to let the United Chamber of Commerce almost rely on lending, bribing, The way of embezzlement has obtained enough financial resources to fill the tax gap. "
"From this perspective, I'm really sorry for doing this. Little sneer." Loren raised the letterhead again: "But if you really believe that he's" poor ", then it is really big. It's wrong. "
"You mean, his current weakness and low voice are only disguised?" The little wizard reacted very quickly: "Supporting the Principality's finances is equivalent to taking control of all the Principality's financial power. Little Yoder ... he took the opportunity to himself Save a lot of benefits? "
In a word, the black wizard's expression was a bit stiff.
Why does Ain today feel a little different?
How to say ... should be more confident? No, no, the way she just analyzed the problem is almost the same as Charlotte.
Having said that, Charlotte doesn't seem to be as strong as it used to be, and it has become slightly gentler ...
What did you give birth to in the past six months?
Silently buried his consternation in his heart, Loren nodded cautiously: "Yes, it can be said that the current Union Chamber of Commerce is no longer completely under my control; on the contrary, the Union Chamber of Commerce is using financial power to extend his tentacles. To all aspects of the Principality. "
"If there is no more way to contain Little Yoder, the Union Chamber of Commerce will sooner or later lift the Round Table Parliament and control all the affairs of the Principality because the Round Table Parliament, the counts of the thirteen leaders, and Little Yoder have their loans in their hands.
The use of debt and monopoly trade to ultimately overthrow a country and government was born in the world of the black wizard's life;
At that time, he was just a bystander, and he could calmly say that "this is the inevitable social exhibition, the exhibition of the market economy will inevitably bring a small citizen class, and the rise of a free city".
But this does not mean that he can sit back and watch the rise of an emerging force, and when he is about to threaten his status, he is still at ease, without a little means of containment ... just like Eckhart II treated the wizarding class.
Well, we must think of a good way to balance the contradiction between Weber and Jorde, so that they can be in peace with each other (right) and monitor each other to be here in the Principality. This kind of dynamic tends to be stable.
"Actually ... don't have to go back in such a hurry, right?"
Ai Yin, who looked calm, spoke abruptly.
"Ah, why?" Loren raised his eyebrows, his expression a bit strange.
"Because Loren, you are not nervous at all until now, so you are at ease." With a chuckle, the little wizard's expression was very dull: "You believe in her, and believe that she can handle these disputes with ease and let everything be in your hands. When you go back, you will be in peace and security, and there will never be any trouble. "
"Uh ... probably." Loren frowned slightly, and felt Ayn's mood a little low: "Because it's a friend, just like I absolutely trust Ain you, trust Isaac, we can go all the way to today, It is because of the absolute trust between each other that we have overcome so many difficulties and obstacles to gain a foothold in Byrne. "
"In order to build a strong principality in the past three years, I will continue to grow myself and wait for the arrival of the" Black Cross "Serior."
"only friends?"
Ugh?
The black wizard's expression was startled ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Ayin, what the ... "
"We'll be out tomorrow, early morning." The little wizard smiled slightly and got up to leave: "Don't forget to say goodbye to Liya, she has been waiting for you for a long, long time."
With that, Ain, who was clenching her fists with her hands, turned and left, leaving Loren with only a back.
The stunned black wizard sat in place, clutching the letterhead in his hand and sleeve.
Charlotte ... Liya ...
What does she want to say? ...
