442: Let's Kill! Open the Dragon Palace of War God!

At this time, Sauron deeply felt that the power of the Dragon Temple was really pervasive.

Especially when the high-level politics of a certain country fell into chaos and strife, the infiltration methods of the Dragon Temple will be used to the extreme.

No wonder the Minister of Finance has embezzled more than 600,000 gold coins, but he still hasn't escaped. It turns out that he has always maintained that he is a member of the Dragon Temple.

This is a bit like the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the Englishman Robert Hurd was in charge of the General Customs Department of the Qing government for decades.

On the surface, it seems that this Hurd served as an official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and was also canonized as the Prince and Taibao. However, they are indeed from the British Empire.

Of course, the Kingdom of Nulang is much more competitive than the Manchu Dynasty, far less useless.

But the Minister of Finance Suofu in front of him obviously regarded himself as the imperial envoy sent by Shenlong Temple and Yinzhou to Nulang Kingdom.

It is also true, because the entire human kingdom lacks gold and silver mines, so a considerable part of the gold and silver coins in this world are minted in Yinzhou.

The Yinyuan Society even plays the role of the World Bank. Suo Fu is one of the ten elders organized by the Yinyuan Society, which is equivalent to the vice president of the World Bank.

Therefore, he felt that Nulang Kingdom was not qualified to deal with him.

Because he is from Yinzhou, from the Dragon Temple, he is an important bridge between Nulang Kingdom and Yinzhou, and he is indispensable.

Sof said with a smile: "Actually, the financial problems of the Nulang Kingdom have been very serious in recent years. If I am here, it can still be maintained. Once the problems inside explode, it will cause huge damage to the entire kingdom."

"Tell me about it," Sauron said.

Suofu said: "First of all, because His Highness Xili spends too much money, the kingdom's treasury is now in a huge deficit. Not only has the money from the Wangcheng Jinhao been embezzled, but the gold coins borrowed from Yinyuanhui have exceeded three million. .”

Sauron said: "Just tell me, how much money is owed by the treasury of the Kingdom of Furious Waves?"

"More than seven million gold coins." Suo Fu said: "Half of the debt is the embezzlement of nobles' savings, and the other half is a loan from Yinyuanhui."

Seven million gold coins? !

Sauron's heart twitched violently!

When the king becomes powerful,

The annual tax of Nulang Kingdom is only 1.6 million gold coins. Adding the kingdom's property, the kingdom's annual income is about 2.8 million gold coins.

Ten years after Xi Bian succeeded to the throne, not only did the Nulang Kingdom not suffer a deficit, but the treasury accumulated a surplus of nearly eight million gold coins.

There have been four or five small-scale wars, and one super-large-scale war, that is, the Ruan war that almost destroyed the Yelan Principality, and expanded the kingdom's territory by thousands of miles.

And within a few years after the king was gradually emptied, not only did the treasury's eight million gold coins be consumed, but it also lost seven million gold coins.

In other words, in just six or seven years, Nulang Kingdom spent nearly 30 million gold coins, more than four to five million gold coins every year.

Compared with ten years ago, it has doubled!

However, what has the Nulang Kingdom done these years?

The army did not expand, nor did it expand an inch of land.

In terms of war expenses, that is to say, the three extermination wars, which add up to more than one million gold coins.

Where did the rest of the money go?

Sauron really felt like he was going crazy, he was already super rich, absolutely incomparable.

But facing the Nulang Kingdom Zhili Group, which spent 30 million gold coins in 1967, he was completely amazed, and he couldn't even believe it.

Moreover, although the King Jibian was evaded more than three years ago, the tiger's prestige is still there, and the corruption of many nobles and officials dare not be so blatant.

The real prevalence of corruption should be after the king suffered a stroke and the Xili Group took full control of the government.

In other words, most of the gold coins were embezzled within these three years.

Sauron can now be sure that the Chancellor of the Exchequer in front of him definitely has more than 600,000 gold coins greedy for ink.

At least 70% of this astronomical amount of gold coins flowed into the nobles and bureaucrats of Nulang Kingdom at all levels, and into the interest groups represented by the Dragon Temple.

No wonder everyone supports Shili, how cool it is for everyone to try their best to make money!

In a mere three to five years, during the retreat of Xili and the infiltration of the interest groups of the Dragon Temple, Nulang Kingdom has already created a huge corruption group.

Seeing that Sauron's face turned pale, the Minister of Finance Suofu immediately revealed a proud look and said: "Your Excellency, the Nulang Kingdom has such a huge deficit, I really feel like I am sitting under the crater all the time, and I feel that it will erupt at any moment. .”

Sauron said: "Your Excellency, what you mean is that if you leave the position of Minister of Finance, then this volcano will erupt immediately and completely overthrow the entire Nulang Kingdom?"

"Yes." Minister of Finance Suo Fu said: "After all, the finances of the Nulang Kingdom are struggling now. The taxes paid by the princes below are decreasing every year, and the taxes paid by the eleven provinces are also getting less and less. However, the kingdom spends every year. They are all increasing, so the deficit is getting bigger and bigger. The entire kingdom’s finances are completely relying on loans from the Yinyuan Society. Once I leave this position, whether the Yinyuan Society can still borrow so many gold coins every year, I don’t know. Can't guarantee it."

After Sauron heard it, he immediately sneered and said, "Sheli is really a bastard."

"Hehe." Finance Minister Sof also sneered.

Sauron said: "Now the treasury is short of more than seven million gold coins, right?"

Finance Minister Solf said: "Yes."

Sauron said: "I can't touch you. Once I do, the volcano of the kingdom's finances will erupt immediately! Yinyuanhui will not only stop lending immediately, but will also ask for the previous arrears. Not only that, but the truth about the deficit of Wangchengjin will also If it explodes immediately, it will lead to a run-on storm. At that time, a huge economic crisis will erupt in the entire Nulang Kingdom!"

"Yes!" Minister of Finance Sove said lightly.

**Naked threat, and the scariest threat at that!

The bastard Zhili has been in charge of the government for several years, yet he has been infiltrated by Yinzhou so much that almost half of the country's finances are in the hands of Yinyuanhui.

No wonder Xili went to assassinate the king frantically in the end, and Yinzhou supported him to the end. It turned out that they had no choice.

Sauron sat on the throne, closed his eyes, and frowned!

This is not a hornet's nest, but a real crater.

Once it moves, the volcano will burst, and an astonishing crisis will erupt in the Nulang Kingdom.

But this time is the weakest moment of the Nulang Kingdom, and the consequences will be fatal, and even cause the kingdom to overthrow.

The shortfall of seven million gold coins would take three or four years to fill even with Sauron's wealth.

No wonder Suo Fu was so confident, not only did he not flatter him, but he was also arrogant and indifferent.

In his opinion, he feels more like the savior and creditor of the Nulang Kingdom! Even if Sauron had the courage, he would not dare to touch him, the Minister of Finance.

Therefore, the Minister of Finance Suo Fu did not take the two hundred thousand gold coins to bribe himself.

These two hundred thousand gold coins are actually a gauntlet, a silent gauntlet!

Seeing Sauron sitting on the throne with a pale face, Suofu put two hundred thousand gold coins in his hand, and said calmly, "These two hundred thousand gold coins are a gift for you. Besides, the Marquis Voe is our friend. We want you to let him go!"

"Us?" Sauron asked in astonishment.

Minister of Finance Suo Fu said: "We are referring to Yinyuanhui and the Shenlong Temple behind it!"

His words are very direct.

The Dragon Temple is no longer just a mountain on the back of the Nulang Kingdom, but a terrible vampire, which is frantically devouring the vitality of the entire kingdom.

"Farewell." Minister of Finance Sove laughed, and then withdrew.

At this moment, there was an undisguised sneer on his face!

No matter how powerful you Sauron are, you can make the prime minister commit suicide without saying a word, how can you get me?

Your Sauron's fighting ability is not bad, but your political level is really not worth mentioning!

Suofu took a step back, and the contempt in his heart increased by one point!

If Sauron compromises today, then he will compromise step by step in the future, and he will still become just like Shili, just a clay bodhisattva.

At this time, the Kingdom's new prime minister, Duke Xiting, walked in and saw the Minister of Finance Suof, he couldn't help being startled, and said: "Master Suof, you are still going out at this time, and you will start working soon."

Suo Fu said: "At the order of the Duke Regent, go out and do something."

This person didn't take Sauron seriously, so naturally he didn't take Duke Xiting seriously, and went out without saluting.

Duke Xiting walked into the cabinet, and immediately saw Sauron sitting on the lord seat, holding a book in his hand, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a thick stack of gold coins.

Duke Xiting was taken aback, and said, "Duke Regent, did I come at a bad time?"

Sauron handed over the stack of gold coins and said, "Uncle Xiting, I originally thought that the penetration of the Dragon Temple into the kingdom was not that strong because of the previous generations of kings. The interest group headed by the palace has completely pinched the kingdom's economic lifeline."

Duke Xiting looked solemn and said: "Under the management of the iron triangle of Xili, Yinyuanhui, and Suofu, the entire Ministry of Finance can't get in. I know that the kingdom's finances are not optimistic, but I don't know how far it has deteriorated. .”

Sauron said: "The national treasury is short of more than seven million gold coins, which is equivalent to five years' tax revenue and three years' fiscal revenue."

Duke Xiting's face turned pale in an instant, and he almost sat on the ground, unable to believe his ears, tremblingly said: "There are so many?"

Of course, on earth, the national debt of the United States reaches tens of trillions of dollars, and Japan also has nearly ten trillion dollars. But that is in a modern society with an extremely developed economy, so it doesn't matter much.

And the economy of Nulang Kingdom is still very primitive, such a big deficit is absolutely fatal.

"Damn Xili, damn Xili," Duke Xiting said angrily, "Several generations of kings have worked hard to govern, and managed to save a fortune of eight million gold coins. I didn't expect that it would be completely squandered in just a few years, and I would lose seven hundred gold coins." Thousands of gold coins. No wonder he is supported by so many people, he is completely using the inheritance of his ancestors to satisfy the greedy appetite of these people."

Then, Duke Xiting sighed: "Sauron, I know you want to take down Finance Minister Sof, and now he can't move. Once you move him, the financial difficulties of the entire kingdom will explode like a volcano, and the consequences will be unimaginable." !"

Sauron said: "If we compromise, then this interest group headed by the Dragon Temple will continue to devour the Nulang Kingdom until the kingdom's vitality is cut off and it will be completely reduced to a puppet of the Dragon Temple."

This made Sauron think of a sentence, now that the Minister of Finance, Sof, is courting death.

But if you don't move him, you are waiting to die!

Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish. Sauron originally planned to cook frogs in warm water to complete the transition.

Originally, he wanted to use the smallest killing to complete the cleansing of the entire Nulang Kingdom.

It seems impossible now, these nobles and officials are too good at killing.

At least economically, the Nulang Kingdom is dying, and it needs a strong medicine.

Fortunately, the previous generations of kings fought hard, and the foundation of the entire kingdom is still very good. This strong medicine can still withstand it, and it will not collapse completely.

Diseases and doctors are the most taboo of being a human being, and the same is true for a country!

The Nulang Kingdom has a good foundation, and the infiltration of interest groups such as the Dragon Temple is only at the top of the kingdom, and the middle and lower levels are still stable.

It's still too late to heal now, if Sauron compromises now, it will be too late in a few years!

Moreover, Sauron also has a huge interest group at hand, that is the Marine Union!

Wangcheng Jinhao is the largest bank in Nulang Kingdom, completely controlled by Yinyuanhui. Since it is rotten and unusable, then completely abandon this shell, start anew, and re-establish a royal bank.

The Shi family, the Suo family, the Hai family of Yingzhou Island, and the Ocean Trade Union, combined together, also possess enormous economic power, which is more than enough to prepare for the establishment of the royal family bank.

Although the deficit of more than 7 million gold coins is scary, but with the brand new royal bank, it may not be impossible to survive this crisis!

Of course, the royal family does not have much money in their hands at this time, and the treasury has even less money.

Well, Sauron makes it rich!

How to become rich? Of course it was murder, ransacking the house!

Anyway, Sauron just took back the money belonging to the treasury!

"I didn't want to start a massacre, but you insisted on forcing me to kill so much blood, then don't blame me, you are looking for your own death!" Sauron's eyes became determined, and his entire face became murderous.

"Uncle Xiting, follow me to see His Majesty the King!" Sauron said.

Sauron entered the Ziyu Palace again, and the king and Gao Yin were very surprised.

Now that all the political affairs of the entire court are handed over to Sauron, he can decide anything by himself, so why did he come to see the king?

Sauron knelt down on both knees and said, "Your Majesty, I want to postpone the wedding with Princess Xiyan."

The king's eyes trembled, and he spoke.

Gao Yin relayed and asked, "Why? When will it be postponed?"

Sauron said: "I have already started to clean the court, and the first target is the Minister of Finance Sof. Today he represented the interest group of the Dragon Temple to me. If I compromise, I can only let this Interest groups continue to devour the interests of the kingdom and gradually become puppets of interest groups. If I do not compromise, a huge economic crisis will break out in the kingdom, and it will be a huge disaster."

The king's eyes were solemn, and he opened his mouth. Gao Yin relayed: "How much is the treasury short?"

Wang Zhibian was really amazing, he hit the nail on the head right away.

Sauron said: "More than seven million gold coins are now completely dependent on the reception and turnover of Yinyuanhui."

Immediately, the king's body shook for a while, as if he couldn't believe this fact at all.

Before his stroke, the treasury was in surplus.

In just three years, not only was the wealth accumulated over decades squandered, but there was still such a huge deficit.

The king spoke up, and Gao Yin relayed, "What do you want to do?"

"Let's kill, ransack the family, and start a war against the entire Dragon Temple interest group!" Sauron said: "It may kill tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more! It will definitely cause huge turmoil in the kingdom!"

The king narrowed his eyes, and suddenly he seemed to have changed from a dying old man to a hungry tiger.

"Do it!" the king said with all his might.

Although these two words are very unclear, they are full of determination and killing intent.

"Yes!" Sauron said.

Then, he ordered: "Gao Weng, send an order to postpone the wedding between Princess Xiyan and Yan Nai'er in Tianshui City, so that Yan Chuo'er will lead an army of 40,000 rock bandits to the royal city!"

"Yes." Gao Yin bowed.

"If the order is not fulfilled, it will be the responsibility of the action. Haigang will immediately enter the king's city!"

"yes."

"Hei Ningqi was ordered to lead the imperial guards to arrest Suofu's family immediately, seal the mansion, confiscate the family property, and anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!"

"yes!"

In Sauron's orders, he officially started a war with the interest groups of the Dragon Temple!

I wanted to make a smooth transition, but I didn't expect someone to force him to kill without giving him a chance!

He, Sauron, wants everyone to see his extremely firm will.

Even if there is another civil war, this group of interest groups must be uprooted, and the Nulang Kingdom will be restored to life!
