Chapter 1340: noble banquet

Similar to the experience of dealing with people like kings and emperors in the past, even if you are invited by the other party, you can't see him right away if you want to. When people arrive, they have to wait for the other party to arrange a time before they can formally meet.

According to the imperial envoy, Earl Ephron, the time for the Goddess of Gold Coins to participate in the imperial meeting is set to be seven days later.

At that time, a tone that everyone can agree on will be set for the construction of the bank, the temple of the goddess of gold coins.

In these days, the lost land is not as picky about the content of the agreement as the earth is. Basically, when a few big heads meet, the tone is set with a single word of mouth.

Anyway, those who will abide by it will naturally obey, and those who will lose their face will still lose their face no matter what. Even if it is written in black and white, you can explain it however you want on your own territory. What everyone wants to talk about involves more specific content such as amount and time limit, which can be determined on the spot. If it can't be decided on the spot, it means that the negotiation is about to fail.

The waiting time after seven days was not set arbitrarily, let alone deliberately embarrassing others. During this time, a banquet was arranged every evening.

If someone accepts these invitations without thinking, they may think that the Karlsruhe Empire really welcomes the Goddess of Gold Coins and her party, or intends to corrupt these envoys with a luxurious life.

But if it matches the message sent by the empress, then the six-day banquet invitation will be quite interesting.

The inviter on the first day was the Duke of Messinaceli, and the venue was at the Duke's residence in the capital.

The second day was held by the Grand Duke of Frias, also in the Grand Duke’s capital residence, the third day was hosted by the Grand Duke Infanta, the fourth day was jointly invited by the Grand Duke of Pircenza and the Grand Duke of Parma, and the fifth day was held by the Grand Duke of Mumbai. The Grand Duke of Greece and the Grand Duke of Montezuma.

On the sixth day, it was the banquet held by the empress, which was held in the green hall of the palace.

To put it simply, each day's invitation corresponds to a noble faction of the Karlsruhe Empire, a total of five. And the last day is the emperor's invitation banquet, and then the formal imperial meeting.

Lin didn't think it was just eating and drinking when this kind of battle was put on.

Private meetings are naturally for personal gain. It is human nature to want some benefits for oneself while doing big things. Nobles can only intensify their efforts, how can it be an exception. Perhaps these banquets were the first contact between the nobles of the five major factions and the envoys of the Goddess of Gold Coins.

This is not to say that the Karlsruhe Empire, these five major factions can include all nobles, for example, the Grand Duke of Oz is a fence-sitting faction that does not belong to any party. But he will not have a clear position, and there are reasons why he has to do it.

As the front line against the Haider Empire, the Plain of Oz is the main territory of the Grand Duke of Oz. The source of troops to protect this territory comes from the entire empire. If Duke Oz stands in line casually, and other political enemies who do not deal with their factions do not send troops to support him, then he will be finished. So he, a wall-rider, had to ride.

The other great nobles did not dare to force him to stand in line. As long as anyone makes such a request, Oz's condition is also very simple, to send enough troops to help him guard the Oz Plain. Whoever can do this will become his loyal henchman.

Perhaps it is a very pleasant thing to be able to monopolize military merit, but military merit cannot be earned for nothing. How many soldiers have to die to have a chance to earn meritorious service. If the land in charge of guarding is lost, even if there is no punishment, the lives of the soldiers will be lost in vain.

Therefore, the battlefield of the Plains of Oz is a big mud pit guarded by everyone, and no one dares to eat alone. This has become the capital of Oz's success.

Except for the Grand Duke of Oz, those who failed to enter the five major factions were mostly minor nobles who did not like to see each other. Maybe their territory is located in a remote area, or their territory happens to be in some awkward positions, and they just happen to have conflicts with some nobles in the faction, some of whom I don't have. Therefore, no one dared to recruit these small nobles at will.

Although these small nobles also know how to hold together for warmth, their political influence is far inferior to the five major factions. Just say allegiance to the emperor, but in fact it doesn't help much. Naturally, he is not qualified to hold a banquet alone and invite the Goddess of the Gold Coin Goddess.

They will probably attend the banquet held by the empress on the last day, looking for opportunities. It also depends on the gains of the big nobles in the past few days to judge whether they can take some meat from the corners.

Just from the invitation letter and Baron Mangado who came to report every day, Lin felt a wave of political storms belonging to the Karlsruhe Empire. When actually participating, this feeling is even deeper.

Although nominally the five major factions invite their own banquets, they still invite the nobles of the entire empire. Except for the group of enemies who have enmity and expressly do not communicate with each other.

Some small nobles are simple, as long as they receive an invitation, they will find a way to participate. This kind of banquet is a very important social occasion for nobles. In addition to maintaining friendship, it is also an opportunity to show the strength of the family.

This is not to scare people or anything, sometimes there are some seasonal specialties in the family territory, so let's talk about it on this occasion. Maybe someone is interested, maybe someone needs it, and when someone finds it privately, then the business will be done, and the money will be made.

The nobles of the Karlsruhe Empire are not the same as those in other places. The waterways drove the prosperity of the empire's commerce, and whoever could be the head of the family would not expect to bring greater benefits to the family, instead of just staring at the soil for food. If they didn't have this flexibility, they would have been replaced by other brothers and sisters long ago, and they would not be able to sit in their current positions.

But for these banquet invitations, the nobles are very particular. Who can go, who can't go, who has to go in person, who has to take home papers, and who just needs to send a nephew or nephew, all of which make sense. If you make a mistake, not only will you lose face, but even the host of the banquet will lose face. For the nobles, such things as losing face are no different from enmity.

But one thing is very clear, that is, the banquets attended by the great nobles must have different friendships with the organizers of the banquets. It can be said that they are members of the same faction. So once someone does not show up when they should, or shows up on different occasions, it will be no less than an earthquake to the empire.

But Lin didn't have the chance to see such a big scene. In the first five days of the banquet, in fact, the main axis was the same, except that the actors on the opposite side changed wave after wave.

The demands of the nobles are nothing more than a few. One is that banking business is not opened to their counterparts. One is the money saved by the Goddess of Gold Coins and used for them. If you don't follow suit, the stupid ones will bluntly say all kinds of threats and temptations, and the smart ones will not say much, even if they only mention a few things, they will stop talking.

Sure enough, money is touching. There is no way to trouble the goddess directly, so I trouble the little devils like them, to see if I can get some money out of the passing money and put it into my pocket.

For these things, whether it is Lin or other elves, they can push as long as they can, and pretend to be stupid if they can't.

The kind of statement that is willing to expel other gods and worship the gold coin goddess alone, as long as the bank is not opened in other places, does not talk about whether the goddess believes in it or not, but does not need it at all!

If the Church of the Goddess of Gold Coins still maintains the past belief model, the support of the people in power and the good thing of monopolizing the belief in the territory is simply wished for. In order to achieve the goal, it is understandable to pay some price.

But now banks do not need the belief of monopolizing one place at all, what is more needed is to open widely. It is impossible to agree to this kind of request not to open in a certain place after the bank is opened in one place.

Besides, with the bank's current locust-like spread speed, other gods can tolerate it, isn't it because the bank will not invade their beliefs. If exclusivity is shown, even if it is only in one place, will it spread to other places in the future?

As long as this kind of worry arises, it will probably be a battle of gods, and it will still be a posture of the gods besieging each other. At that time, even the guardian master will not be able to come forward to protect him. The confrontation related to faith has nothing to do with this person.

As for those who have made up their minds to deposit the money in the Goddess of Gold Coins, thinking about how to borrow it, and then repay the debt in the future, let alone the kind. Not to mention those aristocratic lords who clearly asked for the money, with the face of beating people to death without giving the money, Lin Ke suppressed his nausea and still refused.

The reason is also very simple, the operation process of the Midi version of the bank, to put it bluntly, is actually like operating an ATM on the earth). Except for the person who deposits and withdraws money, no other living person will handle money.

Since there is no living person to handle it, there is no room to operate. The unruly operation of blocking doors and collecting taxes was also suppressed and dealt with by Ke Yin early on.

The bank's business in other places has been promoted for so long, don't the aristocrats who said this know about it. But even if they knew, they still couldn't help but ask such an extra question when they met the envoy of the Goddess of Gold Coins. Maybe I will have a chance to reach out.

But the nobles didn't just ask for it, they also wanted a guarantee.

Since the bank promotion of the Goddess of Gold Coins, it has happened that the lords have regretted it after the fact and forcibly attacked the banks that have already started their business. But with the World Tree and the Wood Elf tribe as their backers, Ke Yin is not a bare-handed commander and no one will use him, he is directly suppressed by the army of elves.

The elves that can be assigned by the World Tree~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are not the kind of rookies who have just left the tribal experience. Familiarity with martial arts is the most basic, and the coordination of the army is also proficient. Coupled with the weapons and equipment produced by World Tree, it is a masquerade in a godly costume!

Most importantly, the army of elves only wounded, not killed. Such a request is not difficult for these elves who are accustomed to fighting, but it is not flattering to be a hostile party.

Soldiers are dead. If it's just an injury, can you save it? After being rescued, will Ann arrange for someone to treat and take care of her? With these people groaning in pain, is there still morale in the territory? Especially if these people are not dead, who beat them? The goddess of gold coins belongs to the prestige of the elf task force.

After all, this team is not permanent, but also comes and disappears suddenly. If it weren't for the wounded soldiers left behind, others would really think it was a dream. Therefore, the nobles also hoped to find out the details of this team when they came into contact with the Goddess of Gold Coins.

As for buying Yunyun, no nobleman thought about it. Thinking about the past armies built on the basis of theocracy, which one is not troublesome? Even today it is the same. So everyone is on guard.

If it weren't for the bank, which is indeed a good thing, just this elusive army would make people sleepless.
