Ricardo Carvey saw this in his eyes, raised the Koyin Holy Emblem in his hand, and said: "If you want to open the banking function for these small countries, I must go there in person. If I still have the title of noble, I will
It is inconvenient at this time. The grand duke of the empire will not go to the territory of another country for no reason. If it is regarded as an act of aggression, it will not be conducive to our next plan, both internally and externally."
He has personally put forward a seemingly reasonable explanation for the old Duke's behavior of giving up his title. Although most of the people's doubts have been dispelled, some people still don't understand and ask: "Sir, do you have to do this yourself? According to
According to you, as long as the first bank is established, we can still have believers and priests. Then it would be better to let them go to other kingdoms to establish banks."
"Yes, if you just plan to make money from them, then I can just leave this kind of thing to you. I really don't need to go there myself."
When the old master who planned to hand over his title said this, everyone couldn't help but feel curious. They asked: "Sir, what do you mean by this is that you have other ideas for those weak countries?"
"Of course." The old Duke smiled and said, "Money is money when it is spent. If it is kept in a warehouse, it is just something. According to the development route I promised to the goddess of gold coins, I cannot hinder it.
We will, in turn, do our best to promote the construction of the bank. Since we want to promote it, if our friendly neighbors find out that we have made a lot of gold and silver from them, what do you think they will think?
"
"Sir, does it matter what those people in the remote mountains think? Hahahaha." Everyone laughed.
The old Duke waved his hand and said: "Of course it's not important."
Although it will take some effort for the Kawi family to destroy the countries and nobles in the north, it is not impossible. However, to rule that remote mountainous place, they have to invest more effort and effort.
Money. And I don’t know how long it will take to operate the land before it can generate profits.
Rather than defeating it, it is better to leave it alone and become a barrier with other big countries. This is a common situation on the borders of the Gwana Empire today.
"But!" the old Duke said loudly, stopping everyone's laughter and attracting everyone's attention. "If the money earned from them is used on them, we will not only benefit from it, but also
You can get their gratitude. There is no reason not to do such a good thing."
"Use it for them? What valuable things are there in that poor place?" someone asked from below.
The old Duke did not answer directly. He just pointed to the map of the northern border of the empire and drew a line from the three northern kingdoms of the Kawei Dukedom to the north of the Risa family's territory. This line once again attracted everyone's attention.
Light it up!
As we all know, the motorized Kawei family's army can choose any route to attack the Risa family's territory, but in fact there is a direction, that is, east, west, and south. Even if the Kawei family's army cannot
In a roundabout way, we will not launch an attack from outside the country's borders, that is, from the north.
This is because there are mountains that lie across the border of the empire, blocking possible detours. If the Kavey family really wants to attack from the north, they will have to make a long circle. Even if the car can run again, it will be blocked because the distance is too long.
The surprise of the surprise attack is lost.
Of course, this reality has been exploited by the Rizal family. Now the Duke of Rizal has almost withdrawn all its troops from the border and dispersed them to various key points in the territory to guard against the Kawei family's attack. These troops who originally guarded the border
The army is the trump card held by the Rizal family.
If we follow the strategy shown by the old Duke in front of everyone, it means hiring the three northern kingdoms of the Kawei Dukedom, and even the small nobles, and letting them send troops to threaten the northern side of the Risa family.
Of course, no one thinks that this group of mercenaries can achieve any results. They only hope that they can put pressure on the Rizal family to re-defense the almost abandoned border defense line. This will of course give the Rizal family already stretched military and financial resources.
Add extra burden.
Even if they really take advantage of the empty defense line to break into the Dukedom of Risa, the bottom line for everyone is just to tolerate these mercenaries and just grab a handful and leave. The mercenaries' spoils will not be interfered with or violated by the hiring party.
Seize, this is the custom of Lost Land.
If they dare to stay for a long time and have the intention of annexing the place, then after the Kawei family's army clears out the remnants of the Risa family, they will drive away these evil guests. At the same time, all the results of the previous battles will be taken away.
Spit it out! The Kawei family has such confidence.
Therefore, no one expressed any objection to Duke Kawei's divine strategy. Instead, they admired it and discussed it enthusiastically.
This is also because the Midi people do not have a strong concept of 'country'. In their eyes, Duke Kawei's strategy is not about introducing foreign enemies and invading brothers in the same country. It is just a nobleman asking other nobles for help and joining forces to attack the other country.
Just a nobleman.
It's just that the princes of the nobles who came to help were kings of other countries, and the prince of the Grand Duke of Kawei was the emperor of the empire. As long as the princes did not open their mouths to fight each other, it was the vassals' business to do what they wanted to do.
In any case, everyone is also a 'human race', and those facing us are not goblins or orcs, and certainly not barbarians.
However, someone below still asked: "Sir, this strategy is good, but why do you need to give up your title and let Marquis Farshed take over early?"
The old Duke explained: "After all, the empire's face still needs to be taken care of. If we use mercenaries to threaten the Rizal family, our flag will inevitably be hung up. Such an action will definitely be held accountable by the emperor in the future. If the person who did this is...
For me, instead of the 'Grand Duke Kawei', the severity of the matter will be different. At least we can better protect the family. And holding high the blood flag will not be the end of the fight between our two families. The subsequent emperor will also
There will be other actions. But as long as the inheritance money is given a decent amount, the emperor may selectively forget certain things and simplify the subsequent processing."
In fact, everyone has understood it at this point. Ricardo Carvey's giving up the title was indeed a sign of weakness to the emperor. But it was not a total surrender for the previous matter, but for a better strategy in the future.
Good room to move around.
The ultimate goal is still to annihilate the Rizal family. However, in addition to increasing the advantage against the Rizal family, the old Duke has also taken the lead in deploying methods to deal with the post-war situation. The head of the noble family personally bears the responsibility, and no matter what the emperor does at this time
If you blame someone, you won't implicate the whole family. This is also the custom of fans.
Seeing the relieved expressions on everyone's faces, Duke Kawei smiled again and said: "I know what everyone is worried about. But let's put it this way, do you think that now that I have lost my title, I will lose all the power in my hands?"
If it's still the same as in the past, then why don't I use a method that can increase the chance of winning and make the Rizal family lose even more miserably."
All the vassals laughed. The only one with a sad face was Marquis Noonan Farshed.
Originally, the Marquis thought that since his father had become a transcendent and had a different lifespan than ordinary people, he might have to stay in the Marquis of Farshid, a title reserved exclusively for the heirs of the Kawi family, for the rest of his life, and would never be able to inherit the Kawi family.
The title of Grand Duke Wei. But now that he has inherited it, it seems as if he has not inherited it...
You can imagine what the old man will do if he loses the shackles of his noble title, but his power remains unchanged. Then you have to take the blame and wipe the old man's butt.
The son's face became even more bitter.
A certain magician in the Holy City didn't know what happened in the Kawei family castle, and he didn't want to know. During this period, besides waiting for the emperor's summons, he was busy with the Goddess of Gold Coins.
The first bank in the holy city of Estali opened, which greatly alleviated the problem of large crowds of people crowding the technical guild hall.
There is a group of extremely powerful elves controlling the scene, and the most impatient group of people were all digested in the previous large queue. Therefore, after the official opening of the bank, the order situation has improved a lot.
The appearance of the uniforms worn by the elves working in the bank, coupled with the elves' own good looks, has also gained a group of fashion-following admirers. Regardless of men and women, the simple and neat lines seem to indicate the arrival of a new era, and are sought after by everyone.
.
And because this outfit does not violate the restrictions of nobles or magicians, such as the goose yellow and sky blue that can only be used by nobles, or the small shawl that can only be worn by magicians, these are all worn by people who do not have a specific status.
Clothes that would cause trouble. Therefore, tailors who relied on the technical guild ushered in a wave of business opportunities. For a time, plain fabrics were out of stock in the Holy City.
This phenomenon also makes people know from the side that the consumption power of the Holy City of Estali is scary nowadays. And it is not just magicians, but magic apprentices and non-magicians also show amazing purchasing power.
Someone originally thought that as long as the bank's rules are set down and they stick to the rules, everyone can only choose to abide by them or give up using the bank's functions. But this is just a beautiful delusion, and the actual situation cannot be solved.
Do this.
Every mortal who uses the bank function can directly talk to Ke Yin. Conversations with gods do not have to be spoken out loud. Gods can still feel them as long as they have strong thoughts.
So when it comes to using banks, almost everyone has their own additional requirements and ideas. Most of these ideas are ignored by Ke Yin. But occasionally one or two bright spots appear, and the goddess intuitively thinks that it is not impossible to do so.
This is not to say that women are intuitive animals, but that as the goddess of gold coins, Ke Yin has a good or bad intuition about things related to the priesthood. But good things must be implemented at the right time, not
Putting it on the table in one fell swoop was something someone had been emphasizing. So Lin was once again dragged to the Kingdom of God to discuss these 'glittering points'.
