Chapter 970: Regal Prestige Is Unfathomable

Most people looked blankly at the golden crystal card in Zhao Tianlong's hand, not to mention they had seen it before, many of them had never even heard of it.

In fact, except for Zhang Jinhui, the Minister of Finance, most people have never come into contact with the Golden Crystal Card. The Golden Crystal Card is a strange existence to most people.

The reason why I say this is because the Golden Crystal Card will not be circulated in the market at all, and almost no one has seen it, and very few people have heard of it.

Golden crystal cards are often a stored-value card for transactions between countries, and the amount of transactions between countries is often very large.

If you really use the black crystal card, you need to take out 200 cards for 100 million, 2000 cards for 1 billion, and 20,000 cards for 10 billion. This is really inconvenient, so the golden crystal card And so it came into being.

A full gold crystal card contains one billion gold coins, and the eleven gold crystal cards in Zhao Tianlong's hand are worth 11 billion gold coins.

The Jucaiyuan Chamber of Commerce is the only one that can issue golden crystal cards in the world. This is related to the fact that the Jucaiyuan Chamber of Commerce can open branches all over the world. Of course, the most important thing is the economic strength of the Jucaiyuan Chamber of Commerce.

And this golden crystal card can only be accessed by people at the national level. Don't look at the cooperation between Li Zhenbang and the Jucaiyuan Chamber of Commerce for so long. The black crystal cards are all packed in boxes, but they still haven't gotten a golden crystal card. .

"Your Majesty, your golden crystal cards... don't seem to be in the treasury?" Zhang Jinhui looked at Zhao Tianlong in astonishment, and asked with some doubts, but his tone was very certain.

In fact, Zhang Jinhui was very sure that these eleven golden crystal cards were definitely not taken from the treasury. Because each golden crystal card has a unique logo, he remembers the logo of every golden crystal card in the treasury clearly, but he has never seen the logos of the eleven golden crystal cards that Zhao Tianlong took out. Pass.

"These golden crystal cards belong to me. There are eleven cards in total, and each card is worth one billion. You can withdraw cash or spend directly at any Jucaiyuan Chamber of Commerce at any time."

Hearing Zhao Tianlong's words, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

One billion gold coins is not too difficult for a wealthy nobleman to take out, but this is 11 billion!

Being able to take out so many gold coins at once is not something ordinary rich and nobles can do. Not to mention ordinary rich and nobles, even the vast majority of old rich and powerful families, if they want to take out so many gold coins at once, I am afraid it will be impossible. It's not that easy.

one more,

No matter how old a wealthy family is, they have never owned a gold crystal card, and even a large number of people have never heard of it. There are still crystal cards in this world that can store billions of gold coins. This completely subverts their cognition .

Many established families privately feel that their family's wealth has surpassed that of a country, especially in recent years when the treasury has been empty and the fiscal revenue has continued to be in deficit. Some people even feel that their family can already override the supremacy of the country.

But at this time, when they saw the golden crystal card that they had never seen before, their hearts began to feel weak. A gold crystal card with one billion gold coins, Zhao Tianlong, who can take out 11 billion at will and doesn't care, no matter which one it is, let them fully understand what it means that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Zhao Tianlong had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, especially the few families that had been a little unruly in recent years, who seemed to have been shocked by his actions.

However, Zhao Tianlong seemed to have already guessed the result, so he didn't show any surprise about it. However, the fleeting smugness in his eyes showed that he was very satisfied with the effect of this improvised step.

"The total here is 11 billion. If I remember correctly, this year's military expenditure plus the military expenditure in arrears before, the total should be 10.735265424 gold coins , right?" Zhao Tianlong looked at Li Zhanfeng and said softly.

"Your Majesty...the minister...is guilty!" Before Li Zhanfeng could reply, Zhang Jinhui's body went limp, and he collapsed on the ground, crying out in tears.

Zhang Jinhui knew very well in his heart that if he owed such a huge amount of military expenses, he might be punished with death. He only hoped that Zhao Tianlong could put the blame on him alone and not involve his family.

In fact, Zhang Jinhui knew very well that his arrears of military expenses must not be concealed from Zhao Tianlong's eyes, but he did this entirely for the Carlo Empire, and he has a clear conscience.

Since he took the position of Minister of Finance, he has not even greedy for a copper coin. The reason why he was in arrears with military expenses was because he really had no choice.

The amount of military expenses in arrears has also been accurately calculated by him. Every time the military expenses are paid out, there is still a certain amount of surplus on the premise of ensuring that the soldiers can have enough food.

Although Zhang Jinhui was not born in the army, he also knew the importance of the army, and he knew that the stomachs of the soldiers should not be starved. Otherwise, once a war breaks out, how will a group of thin-faced soldiers deal with an enemy like a wolf and a tiger?

But he is not a fairy, he can't turn stone into gold, he really has no way to guarantee the income of the soldiers, because the treasury is really out of money.

In fact, Zhang Jinhui has always had a clear conscience. Sitting on such a fat vacancy, he can hold the bottom line and not be greedy for ink. Looking at the entire empire, how many people can do it? However, such a thing as arrears of military expenses is not a glorious thing after all, so he worked with all his might and with trepidation.

Naturally, he did not dare to take the initiative to be honest with Zhao Tianlong about this kind of arrears of military expenses. Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if Zhao Tianlong knew about the arrears of military expenses, he should not know the specific amount in arrears.

But Zhao Tianlong not only knew it, but he was accurate enough to not miss a gold coin. This was really terrifying, and it became the last straw that overwhelmed Zhang Jinhui, causing him to completely collapse.

"Zhang Aiqing, get up! I know what you are like, and I don't mean to blame you. But... in the future, I hope you can discuss this with me before making a decision." Zhao Tianlong didn't Calling him Zhang Jinhui's name, but directly calling him Zhang Aiqing, it can be seen that Zhao Tianlong should not be angry with Zhang Jinhui, but the last sentence is obviously to beat him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Jinhui kowtowed like garlic, his forehead was already bleeding, and he kept kowtowing.

"Okay, Zhang Aiqing, go down to bandage and have a good rest! Today you are allowed to leave early as an exception." Zhao Tianlong thought it was very humorous and made a joke.

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister has something to say, the delay is not only..." Zhang Jinhui raised his head to look at Zhao Tianlong, with blood streaming down his forehead.

"Zhang Aiqing, you go down first! What you want to say, I will meet you alone after the morning court is over." Zhao Tianlong waved to Zhang Jinhui, interrupted Zhang Jinhui, and signaled him to go down.

"Yes, the guilty minister will retire first!" Zhang Jinhui went down to bandage with the support of the eunuch.

After Zhang Jinhui walked out, Zhao Tianlong looked at Li Zhanfeng again, "Is it true that I said the total amount of military expenses in arrears?"

"This...Your Majesty, I don't know." Li Zhanfeng took a step forward, lowered his head and cupped his fists, and responded with some embarrassment.

Zhao Tianlong frowned and couldn't help but raise his voice, "As the deputy minister of the military department, how come you don't know the specific military expenditure?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the subject is guilty! The main reason is that the military expenses in arrears in the past few years are really too much. The soldiers guard the happiness and dignity of the country and the people. They must not be allowed to shed blood, sweat and tears. Even the most basic guarantees are guaranteed. no more?"

"So our Red Maple Leaf family has tried everything, and even the family members cut down on food and clothing and paid for it out of their own pockets. However, the strength of our family is really a drop in the bucket, and we can only provide the most basic protection for the soldiers. Sigh!" Li Zhanfeng shook his head and sighed , seems to be very self-blame.

"We know that the country is in a difficult situation right now, and we didn't expect to get the money back, so we didn't record it, so we don't know the total amount of military expenses in arrears, but I know how much our country still owes to the soldiers. "

"Oh? Then tell me, in your accounts, how much does the Carlo Empire owe the soldiers?" Although Zhao Tianlong knew these things a long time ago, he was still a little moved when he heard Li Zhanfeng say it himself.

"The total amount owed is 6,659,423,173 gold coins." Li Zhanfeng said firmly without any hesitation.

"Then, your Red Maple Leaf family has already paid more than four billion gold coins for the empire?" Zhao Tianlong said softly.

"Return to Your Majesty, this minister really doesn't know. If there is no problem with the total military expenditure you mentioned, it should be about the same in comparison!" Li Zhanfeng was also secretly shocked, he did not expect that the family had already paid so many gold coins in advance.

Others don't know, but he, the patriarch, knows it very well. In fact, a considerable part of these gold coins was contributed by Li Qishan, and the reason why Li Qishan was able to contribute so many gold coins had a lot to do with Li Zhenbang.

To be precise, these gold coins were contributed by Li Zhenbang to the family in another form. Although the family did not give Li Zhenbang much help, Li Zhenbang still had the family in his heart, and it could even be said that he had done his utmost to the family.

Li Zhanfeng had already made a secret decision in his heart, no matter what, he would try his best to protect Li Zhenbang, even if the vice minister of the military department quit, even if the patriarch quit, he would also protect Li Zhenbang.

Zhao Tianlong nodded, "This is 11 billion gold coins, the extra part is a compliment to your Red Maple Leaf family's loyalty and patriotism!"

Li Zhanfeng was dumbfounded, and at the same time his heart skipped a beat.

This is equivalent to taking more than 200 million gold coins for nothing all at once. Does Zhao Tianlong use 200 million gold coins in disguise as compensation? With the compensation of 200 million gold coins, what exactly does Zhao Tianlong want to do to Li Zhenbang?
