: Two thousand three hundred and seventy Emperor's knife (9)

　　
Lisbon, the dark sky is white with rain, and the water flows down the steps of the Exchange of the Business Union branch, just like two waterfalls hit the street that has been rubbed by the wheels. Full of various carriages, merchant's carriages, and noble carriages, gloomy sky, bright dark thunders flashed through, the sound penetrated the gate, and the lightning illuminated the scene inside the exchange hall, densely packed People, almost completely crowded the entire exchange, everyone's eyes are anxiously looking at the entrance of the hall, inside the depressed atmosphere, there is a whispering murmur in the room on the second floor of the exchange, a The middle-aged man wearing a business alliance deacon costume exhaled heavily, his hands tightened unnaturally,
　　
　　 "Are there any new news? Istan's victory..."
　　
　　The middle-aged man held a thick stack of golden papers in his hand, and his eyes swept the dense crowd below. His eyebrows were tightly twisted into a Sichuan word. This time, there was a big problem! The entire Chamber of Commerce in Lisbon is afraid that it is here, and everyone is only concerned about one thing, that is, thousands of miles away, the war of the Empire in the Istan region,
　　
　　 "It's hard to say, but if the Emperor team really suffered a fiasco in the Istan Empire, they would have to reassess the value of the goods in their hands!" A subordinate standing next to him said ugly,
　　
"How can we say that we have no choice?" The middle-aged man's face was somber and irony, and his hands pressed the thick stack of gold rolls on the table. This crisis was so sudden that no one would know. I thought that the other party's design would be so deep, and the financial resources involved would be so large, once the storm formed. Everything about yourself will be gone, and the investigation from the emperor's side is not just a matter of discarding some property, but it is serious enough to be genocide.
　　
　　 Logically speaking, the war between the empire in the Istan region and Lisboa is too far away. Moreover, it was only a local war, and it was far from being able to affect the Lisbon Trade Center in the mainland. However, just a month ago, the big-headed hawk business group from the southern part of the inland sea suddenly suddenly requested Purchased finished iron on the Lisbon market in batches, but also proposed to buy at an average price. The amount purchased was enough to shake the market in Lisbon. At one glance, it attracted the attention of the entire Lisbon Chamber of Commerce. One million tons of refined iron. God knows why the Double-Headed Eagle Business Group needs so much, and where such funds come from.
　　
The so-called average price purchase is a commercial policy of the commercial alliance, which is mainly applicable to the trade of large quantities of commodities, that is, you can buy commodities in large quantities at the average market price. None of them can complete the transaction immediately, usually it is agreed to pay for delivery after one month.
　　
　　 This way merchants can do their best to raise goods, while buyers can gather more funds,
　　
　　 This is a modification of the large-scale ocean trade. After all, it is a trade route established on the sea. The time of a trip is calculated according to the month. January is the most basic transaction cycle time. Many chambers of commerce set the goods list before departure, and then they will be full outside. The ship's goods were sold. Then return with sufficient funds to bring new goods.
　　
　　 Such a cycle, businessmen can ease the pressure on funds. And the chamber of commerce can also get more benefits, this is a win-win policy,
　　
But the problem is that the price of goods will fluctuate up and down with time. The price one month ago will not be exactly the same as the price one month later, either rising or falling, so there is an average price purchase, that is, the two parties sign a contract No matter what the price of the goods is one month later, they are traded according to the price agreed one month ago. If the goods rise in this month, the buyer who signed the contract will make a profit. If the goods fall in price, the seller will make a profit. Interests coexist
　　
"This is a gold ticket issued by a business alliance. If you don’t believe it, you can directly inquire through the business alliance!" The arrogant double-headed eagle business group representative took out the gold issued by the business alliance with a total of 12 million gold coins. After the volume, the business alliance confirmed the authenticity after the appraisal, and this criticism naturally subsided. As long as the merchants make money, it does not matter where these gold tickets come from.
　　
　　 "Is those golden tickets real?"
　　
Socutus Delan, who was in Lisbon, looked at the report and accidentally raised his head. His pretty face was a little confused. The golden ticket was very convenient for the commercial alliance when trading large quantities of goods. With the expansion of the empire’s influence, and the commercial alliance in In the business activities in the inland sea area, the gold ticket of the business alliance has become the price bill common to most inland countries
　　
　　 "It can be confirmed that it is true, the number on the gold ticket matches with all the issued, and there is no problem with the dark line code behind the film!"
　　
The report was sent by a person in charge of the business alliance. After the turmoil, the thirteenth deacon, Sokotus Delan, was already the real power of Lisbon. Every gold sent by the business alliance The ticket has a number stub and a password that can correspond to the deputy coupon. Unless the other party can get the password and stub, it cannot be copied. The copy of the code book is in the hands of Sokotosdalen, and the original In the hands of His Majesty Falcon
　　
The person in charge of the business alliance hesitated and said, "The subordinate believes that the other party has received so many gold tickets and should be prepared, but the first empire in the northern part of the mainland naturally will not lack fine iron, just the other party. The amount of refined iron needed, even if the entire Lisbon Chamber of Commerce can't take out so much, then the other party can buy it at an average price."
　　
　　 "Then issue this trade announcement!"
　　
　　Sokutus Delan put down the notice in his hand, this trade has no reason to refuse, because the other party took out the gold ticket of the business alliance,
　　
The gold ticket of the business alliance is now available in the Inland Sea area, even in the southern area of ​​the Inland Sea, those countries that are full of unkindness to the Falcon Empire, there are also many countries that buy gold tickets from the business alliance to buy the necessary goods, so double head It is normal for the Eagle Business Group to use a large number of business alliance gold tickets, but this time the number is too scary, 12 million. Such a number is almost a quarter of Lisbon’s trade quota, even if it is a double-headed Eagle Business Group. The super merchants in the southern region were afraid that they would not have so many gold tickets. Sokotus Delane felt something wrong. But it can't be said that it is a problem. The other party gave out the gold ticket of the business alliance. If the business alliance comes forward to obstruct it, once it is passed, the gold ticket system that has spent countless efforts and energy on the business alliance to establish will be devastating. Blow. Once the chamber of commerce no longer believes in the gold ticket of the business alliance and asks to exchange it for cash, even a behemoth like the business alliance will collapse overnight.
　　
　　Announcement was published, the whole Lisbon was a sensation, and the strong funds of 12 million made all chambers of commerce rush. The fine iron on the market was swept away, and major chambers of commerce are still mobilizing sources from all over the world. Fine iron is the material used to forge weapons. The emperor's army went to the north to fight, and a large number of weapons and armor obtained were treated as fine iron. Although refined iron is a resource controlled by the emperor’s side, it is also one of the empire’s largest exports. Especially after each war, the price of refined iron will fluctuate. Two months ago, the empire killed three in Feishan. One hundred thousand Fei Shanjun, the price of refined iron is already very low. With a one-month buffer period, the refined iron gathered by the chamber of commerce has reached a frightening scale, and the price of refined iron is even cheaper. However, the other party is buying at an average price, so the more the number, the greater the Chamber of Commerce earn
　　
　　In the lobby of the business alliance branch of the entire southern region of the empire, there were clerks with various business contracts in their hands, and they ran through the stairwell. A ten-meter-long office desk was distributed with four windows. In front of the window is already full of businessmen
　　
　　 "All fine irons, get loaded immediately!" A businessman crowded at the front desk handed in the contract from the no-iron fence-like window. The fat face was covered with sweat, and the fat hand stretched out from the narrow iron window. There are too many people behind, even with his size, he can only try to maintain his position in front
　　
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up in front!" The businessmen in the back lined up in a long line. Most of the people were sent by the chamber of commerce to buy fine iron. Inside the iron window, the business alliance was wearing a feather hat on his head. The clerk, after carefully comparing the copies of the documents, neatly stamped the seal of shipment on the contract, and then returned it to the businessman on the opposite side, "please make up another 110 gold coins"
　　
"How can this happen, it shouldn't be! My cargo was verified when it was loaded, how can I make up the freight again for no reason?" The freightman took the contract and looked at it carefully, trying to raise his head He explained to the clerk in front of the desk that he tried his best to resist the congestion behind him. There were so many sources of refined iron. Because of this storm, many sources of refined iron originally belonging to the military were affected. Many The chamber of commerce chooses to suspend the goods in hand at this moment in order to retain sufficient mobile funds, hoping to gather the fine iron as quickly as possible within this month
　　
"Your Excellency, your quantity of goods exceeds one-tenth of the standard allocation! So we must charge a handling fee according to the third tax point." The clerk glanced outside, and some impatiently explained that "too many people have recently needed to ship , There are only a few vehicles left. If you don’t want, please don’t block the people behind!

　　
"Who said no, I will do it all!" The clerk completed the procedures as quickly as possible, and then left with satisfaction, the people behind issued a series of curses, this situation, in the entire south of Obaro The region is being staged. This huge order affects the entire Lisbonto trade network. One month is too short! It's like a war has opened the smoke,
　　
"The amount of refined iron is almost reaching, but part of it comes from...!" The head of the first reported business alliance, whose face had already begun to be calm, took the report just mobilized and hurried to the cable In front of Koutusdalen, when reporting, the voice paused for a moment, and he dared not speak any more, but passed the report over.
　　
　　 "Is it from Fisher?"
　　
Sokotus Delan glanced at the report, and Xiumei frowned slightly. The hand holding the report was a little white. The military selling fine iron is not an offence. After all, in the Imperial Regiment, the tradition of selling loot origins It’s been a long time, as long as the Ministry of Supervision approved it, but the storm caused by the refined iron was too widespread, and as Feishan, who is densely smoked, the refined iron is likely to come from Varisian.
　　
"It’s not Fissan, our investigator’s report stated that the Fissan battle. Most of the loot was confiscated, and the rest were assigned to the new army by Lord Varisian!" The head of the business alliance looked dignified Said
　　
　　 "You mean, Eastern Province? These fine irons come from Eastern Province!" Sokotus Delane stood up suddenly, his eyes became sharp and cold,
　　
　　 "This matter, I will report to your majesty, you go on!"
　　
Sokotosdalen took a deep breath and waved to the person in charge, how much armament the empire sponsored in the Eastern Province, Sokotosdalen knew very well, because many of them were mobilized by her personally enough to equip Seventy or eighty thousand weapons and armor are real fine irons. Although the empire is generally calm, the fighting in the Eastern Province is still burning. The Governor of the Eastern Province, Hajira, has continuously captured two Eastern Provinces. When it became famous, I heard that in order to raise military expenses, the governor of Hajira searched around and almost scraped the land of the area occupied by Istan. It is no wonder that some armaments were melted into fine iron to be sold secretly. It’s just because of the distance, Sokotus Stellan did not expect that the scope of this time will be so large. Some of the iron that was secretly sold in the Eastern Province has even flowed to Lisbon. It can be seen how much the scope of the spread is. terrible
　　
　　 "I hope everything goes well!"
　　
Time passes like this~EbookFREE.me~The arrival time of the Double-Headed Eagle Business Group is approaching quickly, everything looks so smooth, the merchants are busy running around, the chamber of commerce has accumulated enough supplies to wait for a big profit, but A piece of news from the East made the calm waters of Lisbonto roll over. The six southern countries suddenly waged war against the Emperor within the territory of the Istan Empire. The Double-Headed Eagle Merchants, as one of the six southern countries, Fei Ze’s largest business Regiment, the intention to buy such a large amount of refined iron is self-evident. These refined iron will be used as weapons to fight against the empire. This is a treasonous enemy. If the six countries are defeated in the territory of Istan, then the anger of the emperor’s side will return. It may not be burned, if the Six team wins, the consequences are not imaginable
　　
The rain hit the inclined roof of the exchange, but it was more like the heart of all the merchants in the exchange. In order to gather the goods as much as possible, the chamber of commerce invested a lot of funds. Once the military came out, then the entire Lisbonto chamber of commerce will Vitality hurt, everyone is watching the door,
　　
　　 Today, news from the East will come,
　　
In the afternoon, a carriage hurried to the gate of the business alliance. A businessman jumped from the carriage, regardless of the rain that was falling on his head, and stepped on the stairs in front of the water flow in frustration. The water wet his pants. But unaware, he pushed open the door in front of his eyes and swept his eyes across the hall. The painful Shen Sheng said, "The latest news, the army in the Eastern Province has been defeated."
