Chapter 383: The Assets of the Sea Eagle Chamber of Commerce
None of the masterminds of the Sea Eagle Chamber of Commerce escaped, and all of them were captured on the spot.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jia Zhengjin ordered Albas to lead a surprise attack. While the private unit of the Sea Eagle Chamber of Commerce was still asleep, he arrested them all in his dream. At the same time, an official document was immediately posted throughout the city, informing the citizens of Sea Dragon City who did not know the truth of the reason why the Seahawk Chamber of Commerce was seized, and announcing the true identity of Brian as Duke Fairman's biological son!
Although there are still some citizens who have received the favor of the Seahawk Chamber of Commerce to protest, hoping for Brian's immediate release. But most of the city's citizens chose to be melon-eating masses because of the content of the announcement. A rebellion that could have been instigated did not happen!
The Sea Eagle Chamber of Commerce was seized, and everything in the vault was transported to the City Lord's Mansion and piled up into several hills in front of Jia Zhengjin.
These hills are made of gold bricks, and each gold brick is equal to 5,000 gold coins! There are more than 600 gold bricks in total, which is converted into more than 3 million gold coins!
All the eyes were straight, including Jia Zhengjin himself. This is quite a huge fortune, and it is definitely not a joke! With this money, he can buy a large number of various resources in the resource exchange, accelerate the defense construction and urban expansion of the Holy Dragon City! and even have enough resources to upgrade and craft weapons, tools, armor, guns and other skills, so that the quality of the equipment he makes can reach a very high level!
"Keane, this ...... With so many gold bricks, how many gold coins should there be?" Tina grabbed his hand nervously beside her, stammering a little as she spoke.
Perrin's face was expressionless, and she couldn't see any expression.
Christina doesn't have much of a concept of money, so she doesn't really care.
"Lord Keane, after the sale of the property, furniture, carriage, and various assets of the Seahawk Chamber of Commerce, there are at least four or five hundred thousand gold coins. Albas reported.
"You can dispose of those assets yourself, and then receive them in the treasury of Sea Dragon City for construction!" Jia Zhengjin said, "Also, the members of the Sea Eagle Caravan's troops, those who can be incorporated and those who can't be seized are seized, they are all very well-equipped, and they are just issued to the guards in the city!"
"Lord Sheikie!" Hearing this, Albas was overjoyed. The city was already short of funds, and he was carrying out General Owen's orders to raise money everywhere. With this funding, the stress can be greatly reduced!
And the equipment of the Sea Eagle Chamber of Commerce's troops is even better than that of their guards! Being able to get this batch of equipment is of course the greatest reward for them!
"Lord Keane, what should we do with so many gold bricks?" Albas looked at the gold bricks piled up into several hills in front of him, and asked worriedly, "We transported it from the Sea Eagle Chamber of Commerce, and we used all the carriages in the barracks, and it took several times to succeed!
"You don't have to worry about it! That's why I'm here. Jia Zhengjin walked to the front of the gold brick hill with a smile and stretched out his hand to brush it gently.
In just an instant, all the gold bricks disappeared into thin air!
"This, this...... Where have all the gold bricks gone?" Albas was dumbfounded, desperately looking around.
Jia Zhengjin patted him on the shoulder and calmed him down: "I have put them all away, and they have not been lost! You have done a good job this time, this is a reward for you!"
Albas turned his head and saw a gold brick appear in front of him. He couldn't help but swallow and looked at Jia Zhengjin in disbelief: "Lord Kean, this—This is for me?"
"That's right!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "It's yours!"
Don't look at it, it's just one of more than 600 gold bricks, it doesn't seem like much. But in fact, one gold brick is equal to 50,000 gold coins!
Albas's fortune was 2 gold coins a month, but only 24 coins a year. It is quite good to be able to earn 240 coins in a lifetime! Of course, this is because he is relatively upright and will not engage in some crooked ways and use his power to earn profits. I will not learn from some corrupt officials to do illegal and corrupt things.
So 50,000 gold coins is a huge amount of money for him. When he took over the heavy gold brick, the whole person was completely stunned! He looked at Jia Zhengjin stupidly: "Lord Kean...... It's—it's too much! I—How can I spend it?"
Jia Zhengjin said in his heart, are you stupid, are you stupid?
He patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you feel that you can't spend it, you can exchange it for gold coins." Take some out of it and give it to your men!"
"That's right!" Albas's eyes lit up when he heard the idea, "I see, thank you, Lord Keane!"
"Hmm!" Jia Zhengjin got such a large sum of money, and his mood was quite comfortable, "It's nothing, you can deal with the affairs of the Sea Eagle Chamber of Commerce! If you need to, don't let people know about it, it's okay to embezzle a little bit secretly, but it's best not to move too much......"
"Lord Keane, I will never touch a single copper coin from the sale of the assets of the Sea Eagle Chamber of Commerce!" Albas immediately replied solemnly, "Those are the funds that belong to Sea Dragon City, and they must all be used to build the city!"
"I'll just say that, why are you so serious?" Jia Zhengjin smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
Albas grinned, and then asked, "Lord Keane, are you going to return the gold coins you got from selling the elves to the elves?"
"You don't have to worry about it, I have my own arrangements!" Jia Zhengjin said in his heart, why do you want to give it to the elves? After I can promise to win this war, I will strive to let the countries on the mainland release all the slaves of the elves, which is already very good for the elves! I will use this money to buy resources and build my Holy Dragon City into a more magnificent one. It's a big deal, if there is anything left, I'm thinking about compensating them a little bit.
Albas didn't know what Jia Zhengjin was thinking, so he asked again, "Lord Keane, what should Brian and his men do?"
"Have you brought the Ring of Imprisonment to them all?" Jia Zhengjin asked.
"It's all on!"
"Very good!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Lock it up first, and then deal with it after the battle with the Human Empire coalition forces!"
"Yes!" Albas nodded in agreement.
"General!!" Just as the two were talking, another soldier suddenly ran from outside. When he saw Jia Zhengjin, he immediately saluted respectfully, "Lord Kean!"
"Hmm!" Jia Zhengjin nodded slightly.
"What are you doing in a panic?" Albas asked, frowning.
The soldier hurriedly said loudly, "When we were dealing with the assets of the Sea Eagle Chamber of Commerce, we found a hidden tunnel!"
