Black Dragon Code

"Your Majesty, the empire desperately needs a war."

It’s not war madness Hogg, Nero and other monster leaders who said this, but Half Lich Ren: "I think we must invade a rich land as soon as possible, conquer, kill, and plunder."

"Why?"

Caesar looked down at him suspiciously, this Although the head Black Dragon is not a good guy, it is not at any time dominated by the desire to conquer within the body like the five-color dragon. Caesar itself does not desire war, especially meaningless war without a purpose. He does not want it.

"I’m sorry to remind you that the empire’s treasury has been in deficit."

Ren lowered his head and said: "Our export trade and taxes are not enough to support the empire’s expenses. In addition to the profitability of the assembly line arsenal, the Black Wing Army, weapons research institute, material manufacturing room, shipyard, and smelter that you have maintained need to invest a large amount of financial support, and now we are stretched out."

Caesar showed a slightly surprised expression: "You said that the treasury is in deficit? We export more than 3,000 pieces of armor and weapons every month, plus the bulk trade of grain and wood, and by the way the profitable elegiac card, together with taxes, Can't even offset the consumption of the empire?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ren nodded, took out a lot of books from his space pocket: "This is a whole year The details of the income and expenditure of the empire in 2009 have been counted by the people below and can be checked at any time. If you need it."

"Forget it."

Black Dragon shook his paw, Asking him to check these things is simply a torture. No wonder Ren said that the empire needs a war of aggression. This is the fastest way these guys can think of to make money. War money is really easy, and it’s for a mixed empire like Black Wing. Even more so.

But Caesar has no interest in such wars, and it is not a long-term solution for a country to rely on plunder to maintain internal friction. Necessary institutions such as shipyards and weapons research institutes cannot be stopped. He has to think about it. Money is good.

"How long will it last if I open my treasure house?"

Caesar asked in a muffled voice that his treasure house and the Imperial Treasury are not the same thing. After ruling the entire Northland, This guy has finally become rich. The Black Dragon has a mountain of gold and silver treasures in the treasure vault deep in King's Court, enough for the empire to spend a while.

Ren was taken aback, and everyone knew what treasures meant to a giant dragon. It was not bad that the Black Dragon emperor didn’t take all the Gold Coins of the empire as his own. His voice immediately became low. After going on, he said in a consensual way: "Your Majesty...Even if we don't pay compensation, those people must work for King's Court; and your Black Wing army is loyal to you, and will never cause commotion because of lack of food. "

"Are you cracking a joke?"

Black Dragon glared at him and sprayed two white breaths from his nose, like a thunderbolt-like sound in King's Court Reverberation: "How long can you support it?"

"This...cannot be accurately estimated, but even so, it can only last for half a year to a year."

"Enough."

Caesar snorted angrily: "Well, this is the end for the time being, now you listen carefully, I want to discuss other things with you."

"It's a great honor." Ren bowed to face.

"Go and notify the chiefs and clan leaders of the various regions that King's Court will open a bank in the entire Northland."

"Bank?" Ren subconsciously repeated, and then I searched the long memory and found that there was no such word. Then lifts the head looked at the Black Dragon Emperor with a puzzled look.

"You put aside the matters on the caster team first, I will tell you briefly, you listen carefully, because you are responsible for the next related matters."

Caesar said: "The empire did spend a lot of money, but the money did not disappear at all, but in the form of payment of remuneration and purchase of materials, it went from the treasury to the hands of the people and businessmen. I once said-- Only spent Gold Coins are meaningful. But their significance may end here, because most of the Gold Coins are hidden in human hands and turned into stones buried in wine cellars and underground caves. Taxes cannot bring them back to the empire, and this is the reason why you told our country that the treasury is short."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"I It means to find a way to take them back." Caesar said, then glanced at the Soul Fire surging in Ren's eye socket, and added: "Of course, not by plundering."

"Then what should we do? Human beings are misers. If they don't use coercive means, these damn guys would never voluntarily return these Gold Coins that belonged to the empire." Half Lich said.

"It is precisely because people know that Gold Coin is valuable, that they are unwilling to return it to the Empire."

Caesar said: "But if the Empire tells them now, as long as the Gold Coin is Lend to the Empire, over time, will their Gold Coins become more?"

"I don't understand, Your Majesty."

Ren doubted: "What you mean is that the empire borrows money from the people and then repays them more money after a period of time. But in this way, it will be more difficult for us to have the remaining Gold Coin."

"No, once the empire returns more money to the first person, more and more people will be willing to lend money to the empire, and the empire will only have more and more money." Caesar denied.

"I understand."

Ren nodded: "In my memory, no one has done this kind of thing. There used to be a businessman in the Central Trading City-States In this way, when the news spread, suddenly several big creditors asked the businessman to repay the debt, and he couldn't spend so much money, and he was dismembered afterwards."

Caesar was slightly surprised by the words. There were many smart people who didn't expect Aradia. Black Dragon paused. Nodded said, "Yes, but the empire is different from the merchants. The empire is the guarantee for people to survive, and the empire is the inhabitant. The ruler of life, the empire is a trustworthy authority and guarantee. As long as the empire is prosperous, even if it only maintains the prosperity on the surface, this situation is difficult to occur."

"But to prevent this If it happens, you can also attach some rules, such as borrowing money within one month to reclaim no profit, borrowing more than one year of profit increase, recalculating the profit after reclaiming the borrowing and lending, etc."

Ren He hesitated: "But no matter what you do, if Gold Coin does not increase in the end, this illusion will be pierced sooner or later, which may cause deeper turmoil."

"Then if it is true Has it increased?" Caesar tilted his head: "This World is more than our country. The empire can do too many things with surplus money. How can it not increase?"

"You think carefully."

Ren bowed and saluted, the last question: "It's just that the Empire borrowed money from the people. Aradia since ancient times has never happened before. Is it a bit unpleasant to spread it out?"

"Then give it a new name."
