Chapter 502: Eventful Autumn (Part II)
"General Bols, is that you?" Higg received the messenger sent by Smecta from the forest, and found that the messenger turned out to be a druid Bols, which was incredible, and Bols turned out to be Smecta's man.
"Yes, I thought that I was an enemy of the marshal at the beginning, and I was played with by the marshal, and I was originally unconvinced in my heart, but today I can see the military appearance of the Fifth Legion, which is worthy of being the strongest legion team in Alasia, I am convinced, hehe!" Bols smiled, "Fortunately, I reined in the precipice, followed the advice of the Marshal and General Marisa, and stopped many battles, otherwise, I am afraid that I would have fallen on the ground by now!" ”
In addition to Higg, only Blue Fairy, Simak, Lufasi and Sindorf received Smecta's envoys, all of whom had participated in the war against the Druid's territory in the Forest Country, but after many years, the progress of the war against the distant Forest Country was only known from Benjamin's envoy Josephine more than three months ago, they only knew that the Druid's territory had been completely pacified by Benjamin, and now Benjamin estimated that he had raised troops to fight against Auguston in the south, bringing the military might of the Druids to pacify it, and preparing to unify the entire territory of the Forest Country.
But through Bols's narration of the situation in the forest country, everyone was also surprised, Benjamin, who was a strong advocate of building a country from the bottom up, went against his will to make the new elven code a decoration, and tried his best to prevent Marisa from implementing the new elven code, which is really incredible. According to Higg's view of Benjamin, it should not be Benjamin's nature to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and besides, he also tried his best to make friends with Fuxing City after completing the recovery of the entire Druid, and it was also the right thing to send troops to the Forest Country to defeat Auguston, Higg really couldn't figure out why Benjamin did this.
"Benjamin betrayed the New Elven Codex, Schneider died in battle, and Marissa was placed under house arrest? Hehe, it seems that it is an eventful time for your forest country to return to Shenzhen! But, General Bols, this is your Forest Nation's business! "Although I have participated in the war against the druids, I have not been in charge, and I have withdrawn in time to leave the people of the Forest Country to take care of their own affairs, and I have long been concerned about the affairs of the Forest Country, and there is no reason to take care of them." The reason why I helped Schneider and Smecta was because I had the blood of the forest royal family, and I didn't want to see the forest country sink like this, hoping to wake up the people of the forest country! But now that the new King Benjamin has ascended the throne and the Forest Nation has completed the restoration of the Druids, it is not appropriate for me, as the Marshal of the Fifth Legion of Erathia, to meddle in the affairs of the Forest Nation! ”
"That's true!" Bols said with a smile, "However, the establishment of the advance army, the marshal should be the spiritual leader, when Marshal Schneider was still alive, he also took the marshal as the leader, and now that the advance army is in great trouble, will the marshal sit idly by?" ”
"General Bols, you don't know my relationship with Benjamin!" Higg laughed, "How can you be sure I'm going to help you and not Benjamin?" Three months ago, I met Benjamin's envoy, General Josephine, and she did not mention Benjamin's abolition of the Elven Code, but when you see me now, it is completely different from what General Josephine said, both sides have their own opinions, I am not a judge, nor the lord of the forest country, and I am not obliged to study the stakes here! Personally, I'm more willing to help Benjamin, and legally, I'm more supportive of Marissa and you! After all, this is the government affairs of your forest country, and I can only help each other! ”
"This is exactly what we need!" Bols laughed, "As long as the marshal doesn't help each other, that's fine!" Benjamin himself has abolished the idea of the bottom-up Elven Code, but he has awakened the Forest People, and the Forest People have the power to choose whether to continue with the centralized rule of the royal family or the parliamentary power system of the new Elven Code, and all we do is respect the opinions of the Forest People! ”
"Smecta asked you to come to see me in a hurry, just to tell me this, and then let me not help each other?" Higg laughed, "It doesn't seem that simple! ”
"If the Marshal said that this is the business of our Forest Country, why did he write to Marshal Shante to secretly support Benjamin? And let Fuxing City and Benjamin exchange ports and reduce tax transactions? Bols smiled, "Whether it is the forces of Smecta, Benjamin or Auguston, they are the forces of the Forest Nation itself, and we hope that the Marshal will keep his promise of neutrality!" ”
"Hahaha, is Smecta going to question me?" Higg smiled, "Okay, I'll write to Marshal Shante again and inform him of the matter, but Shante is not my subordinate, and I can only advise him a few words, as the marshal of the Third Army, he has his own interests to think about, and he doesn't need me to teach him how to do it!" As for who Fuxing City does business with, this doesn't have to worry about General Bols, our Fuxing City will definitely not do business with military supplies, besides, the reconstruction of the forest country druids needs a large number of civilian materials, and helping all localities to do a good job in people's livelihood affairs is originally the purpose of Fuxing City, which has no impact on you! ”
"That's it!" Bols said with a smile, "As long as the marshal has a bowl of water, it is victory or failure, and the forest people will be grateful to the marshal!" ”
"But, Marshal Bols, why do I have to have a bowl of water?" Higg laughed, "I'm an ally with Benjamin, and if I don't help each other, what's in it for me?" ”
"Hahaha, although Marshal Hig is ahead of the Fifth Legion, he still has a layer of identity, which is to single-handedly create Fuxing City, for what?" Bols laughed and said, "Lord Higg's reputation is well-known in Middle-earth, and he won't let himself be discredited and destroy the Great Wall for the sake of irrelevant matters in the Forest Country, right?" ”
"Moral kidnapping?" Higg laughed, "There are a hundred ways to help Benjamin, but I don't necessarily need to go through my hands!" ”
"Marshal Smecta is alone, not as heavy as Benjamin!" Bols said, "Before I came to see the marshal, Marshal Smecta said to me that Marshal Higg is sincere and a friend who can be deeply befriended, and if Marshal Higg agrees not to meddle in the affairs of the Forest Country, whether our advance army succeeds or not, we will be grateful to Lord Marshal Dade, and at any time, we will advance and retreat with Lord Marshal!" That's all, we can't promise anything else to Lord Marshal! ”
"Hehe, I underestimated Smecta!" Higg smiled, "Benjamin asked for his own hardships, thinking that he could sit back and relax after completely pacifying the entire territory of the Druids, but he didn't expect that when he was conquering Auguston, he was left behind by your advance army, which put him in a situation of fighting on two fronts, plus Marshal Shante, who originally promised to help Benjamin, is likely to repent, and Benjamin's recovery army is very likely to fall into complete passivity!" However, there is a deal between me and Benjamin......"
Boles hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Marshal, when I came, Marshal Smecta had already informed me that as long as the Fifth Army did not participate in the affairs of the Forest Country, if the advance army won in the future, Benjamin promised the marshal's promise, and the advance army would take over!" ”
"Okay, that's it!" Higg said, "However, I can only promise that the Fifth Legion will not participate, I am not the monarch of Erathia, and if anyone interferes in your affairs, you will not be counted on my head!" Since I have personally promised, I will never break my word, you can rest assured! ”
……
"Sindorf, this time, I'm afraid you're going back to the Dragon Cliff Forbidden Zone!" Watching Bols leave, Higg said worriedly, "If the situation in the Forest Country is out of control, you might as well go back and preside over the Dragon Cliff Forbidden Area in person." After all, you Golden Dragon Clan can also be regarded as the force of the Forest Clan, and now that the situation is like this, do you still want to stay out of the matter and let the rulers of the Forest Country act recklessly? ”
"Who do you want me to go back to help?" Cindorf was surprised and said, "Is it for Smecta or Benjamin?" ”
"As I said, this is the forest country's own business, who to help and who not to help, I have no right to interfere!" Higg said, "You are also a forester, and you have your own judgment and choice!" Whatever choice you make, we trust your judgment! Let you go back to the Dragon Cliff Forbidden Zone, there is another meaning, that is, the dark forces in the spirit stone pit in the Dragon Cliff Forbidden Zone, I want to ask you to help me closely monitor, and inform me immediately if there is a situation, so that I can take measures to deal with it! ”
"Okay, I'll go back!" Sindorf agreed, "However, the vial of dragon's blood ......"
"What do I want this for?" Higg smiled and said, "This is originally your dragon clan's thing, put it here with me, I'm afraid of causing trouble!" This is the result of our common adventure, what else do you and I share? ”
"Okay, your life is saved by you, and the future of the Dragon Cliff Forbidden Area is also given by you!" Sindorf said, "In the future, if there is a summons, the Dragon Cliff Forbidden Area should be deadly!" ”
……
"Mr. Charlie, you're also coming for trouble with me?" As soon as Higg returned to Bobo Hua City, he encountered so many things one after another, and he was really anxious.
"The lord of the city left Fuxing City to attend the magic conference, and after the conference was over, he went back to Fuxing City to meet with the big merchants who donated money to build schools in Fuxing City, but there was no news!" Charlie said aggrievedly, "We sent someone to inquire, the magic conference has long ended, and the city lord left early, I searched around, only to learn that the city lord finally disappeared from here, so I chased here!" I would like to ask the lord of the castle to go out in the future, can you say something in advance? ”
"Hehe, I almost forgot about it!" Higg laughed and said, "However, you seem to have come here because you couldn't withstand the coercion of those merchants, but you said you were looking for me, hahaha!" ”
"It is true that there are still some things that need to be communicated with Marshal Simak!" Charlie said with a smile, "Although the materials needed by the Fifth Army did not pass through Fuxing City, they were transferred from Yaning Island, and the list of materials needed was also transferred to Yaning Island through Fuxing City, so I came to negotiate with Marshal Simak!" ”
"General Simak is dissatisfied with the amount of supplies provided by Yaning Island, is there something wrong?" Higg asked.
"How can military supplies be so easy to get?" "You need to place an order in advance because it's very risky and you need to pay a deposit in advance!" Because they can't do it in the name of Fuxing City, most of the merchants don't trust the newly formed purchasing group in Yaning Island, thinking that the amount they set is too large and the risk is too big! The smuggled materials are all sneaky, and there are few large transactions, which require patience! Don't worry about the problem of funds, Sosa has already sold nearly half of the jewelry, 200,000 gold coins a box, don't worry about the seller! ”
"The rest of the jewelry can't be sold!" Lan Xian'er exclaimed, "Nicole originally wanted to buy half of these jewels, but now she doesn't know that you are secretly selling hundreds of boxes, if she asks me for it, I will be in trouble!" ”
"If you don't sell jewelry, what will you use to raise military expenses?" Higg was surprised.
"If you want to sell it, you will sell it to Nicole, the original price is 200,000 boxes, hehe, if she doesn't want it, it's no wonder to me!" Lan Xian'er said.
"Now that the Alchemy Country is in an eventful time, what can we buy our jewelry? We are in a hurry to use the money, what should we do? Higg was surprised.
"To Sosa!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "Isn't he unwilling to lend us another loan?" Then we will go to the pawnshop, the big deal is that the interest rate is a little higher, and we will redeem it when we have money! ”
"Does the pawnshop have that much money?"
"Sosa will have a way!" Lan Xian'er said, "With such a big business, he won't be unimpressed. The money bank and the pawnshop are originally one, and if Sosa wants to do this business, he must use the gold reserves of the money bank and replace part of the gold reserves with jewelry, but he can't leak the news! ”
"Drink-" Almost everyone took a deep breath of cold air, this idea was indeed too bold, using the gold reserves of the money bank, Higg and the others had not even thought of it.
"There's no way Sosa can't do it if he doesn't!" Lan Xian'er said, "Because the pawnshop is open for business, and if there is business coming to the door, he has to take it if he doesn't take it, otherwise, he will be discredited!" We don't have a lot of money, 150,000 boxes live for two years, and 200,000 boxes of redemption after two years! ”
"Didn't we lose 50,000 then?"
"That's not a loss!" Lan Xian'er said, "Isn't the money in Fuxing City your money?" Fuxing City earned 50,000 boxes, isn't that equivalent to what you earned? ”
"No, Fuxing City is no longer my home!" Higg smiled, "I have agreed to form a council in Fuxing City, I, the city lord, have already sold myself, sold it for free, and the money earned in Fuxing City has nothing to do with me!" ”
Lan Xian'er was surprised, this step, she originally planned to do it later, but unexpectedly, Higg had already done it in front! To be honest, in this extraordinary period, in fact, centralization is much more efficient than decentralization, and it will be much more difficult to take advantage of the favorable conditions of Fuxing City in the future! Lan Xian'er really didn't know if she was disappointed to lose this favorable condition, or if she was happy that Fuxing City was able to take the initiative to take this step.
"150,000 is 150,000, and it should be the interest on the loan!" Higg said ruthlessly, "However, if Nicole has no money to redeem it, it won't be my fault!" ”
"Nicole will be rich!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "Don't forget, Qianzhuang has the investment of the Alchemy Country, and the money earned from jewelry is half of hers!" ”
"And half of her?" Higg screamed, "I endured the pain of 150,000 yuan for her, but she still has to make money!" ”
"The problem is that the Alchemy Country has also established a council, and the money earned is not Nicole's personal, but the Alchemy Country's!" Lan Xian'er smiled.
"That's easy!" Higg said, "Then 150,000 should be given to Sosa, and two years later, 250,000 should be ransomed, and Fuxing City will not suffer this loss!" ”
"Hehe, if Nicole knew you thought so, she wouldn't know why she was so angry!" Lan Xian'er said.
"It's not her own personal money, it's the Alchemy Country's, what's her personal business, it's a big deal that the Alchemy Country can not want these jewels, and it's better to live and die!"
Charlie, Simaks, and Lufasi couldn't help but laugh dumbly when they saw these two people calculating in person.
"Aren't you going to see Shirika of the Witch Clan, Daniel has been there for a long time!" Lan Xian'er suddenly asked.
"This messenger is in some trouble!" Higg smiled awkwardly and said, "There's something I need to discuss with you!" It's a pity that the damned old man Delongso is hiding at this time! ”
"What Delongso?" Lan Xian'er was surprised, "Does this have anything to do with Master Delongso?" ”
"It's a big deal!"
