Chapter 1,273 The Grand Duke’s Strategic Changes
,!
"Your Majesty Ke Yin." After gathering his thoughts, Duke Kawei said: "Although I obtained the status of elector for the bank in the duchy. But if I want to promote the bank to other places, you will not object. Bar?"
Although it sounded like a good thing, Ke Yin did not agree directly. Instead, he raised his chin and said, "It feels like it was improvised. Well, tell me, what do you think?"
He caught a certain magician who had huddled up next to him, hoping that his presence would be so thin that he was worse than a bacteria. He patted his shoulder. The old Duke said, "Hey, Xiao Gai, do me a favor and get on the map."
Okay, everything is okay! The tool man also recognized it. Anyway, just take the attention away from yourself. Someone who accepted his fate followed the old man's instructions and directly used the whiteboard technique to draw a confusing world map.
Just when he was about to speak, the old Duke who was talking eloquently was stunned. He glanced at someone, pointed at the map and said, "Zoom in around my territory, mainly extending to the north."
Don't say anything, just adjust the map scale directly as required. It's just that the old man focuses on the north of the Dukedom of Kawei. What does he want to do? someone thought to himself.
When the map was in place, Duke Kawei gave an overview of the idea that had just emerged. Of course, the focus is on learning from the experience of the Elf Kingdom and utilizing foreign commerce and trade while promoting the various functions of the bank.
The only difference from the Elf Kingdom is that although the elves are unique in their specialties, they are weak in terms of political power. After all, this is an era when humans are in charge.
But the Grand Duke of Kawei is completely different. Perhaps the dukedom's production relies on the empire's technical strength, and the quality is much better than that of other small countries, but it is not yet irreplaceable. However, as the Grand Duke of the Empire, his political status is not at the same level as that of the Elf Kingdom.
The Elf Kingdom can only influence the private chambers of commerce that trade with them, but the Grand Duke of Kawei can directly influence the kings and nobles of other countries. The former is just another form of nobility, belonging to the capital level. But banks promoted by the latter really have the possibility to reach out to all aspects. The two are at completely different levels.
As for the subsequent strategic arrangements for hiring soldiers from other countries, the old Duke ignored it. The first one is not the key point, and the second one may not be possible. Although there is a tradition of mercenaries in Lost Land, the Mercenary Guild is a large organization comparable to the Adventurer Guild. But hiring an established army like this is not just a matter of money.
What is the political environment, the strength of the enemy and ourselves, the balance of victory and defeat, and the impact of the war. There are many factors that will affect other nobles or kingdoms, and they will consider whether to put the troops they have cultivated into a battlefield that does not belong to them. After all, if these young soldiers die, they will have to be responsible for their pensions. No one wants to join a losing war.
Of course, the old Duke could not superficially demand that if other countries or nobles want to open banks, they must send troops to help him fight the war. Not to mention that other nobles would not agree, the goddess in front of her would not be able to pass this test.
If the bank does set it up, it will be successfully activated. Later, due to the close business contacts between the two parties, they enthusiastically sent troops to sponsor and besieged the Rizal family together. This was the attitude and intention of a king or noble, and no one could find fault with it.
After hearing the old Duke's thoughts, Ke Yin was unambiguous and asked several questions in succession. After all, He has only become a god within these few hundred years, and he has not yet become so alienated from human affairs that he has completely forgotten about them.
The nobles of the empire and the nobles of the kingdom are nominally equal as long as they have the same title and rank, but in fact the nobles who belong to the empire always feel that they are superior to them. Will such an attitude become an obstacle to banks?
Now for Ke Yin, it is about finding ways to use local forces to build banks. But we cannot let these additional boosts turn into resistance. Therefore, in all layouts, the Gold Coin Goddess seems bold, but is actually cautious.
He is not afraid of anyone who wants to kick Him away and reach out to control the bank. God is irreplaceable. If a being with this idea and this strength appears, it is a direct fight with gods, or the kind of fight that leads to death. Mortals are not qualified to enter this game.
I'm just afraid that these local snakes will do something to disgust people. Blocking the door is only the most unscrupulous method. Ke Yin can come up with thousands of ways just by turning his head. If he is used by others, even if he is a god, he may have no choice but to swallow these losses.
Fortunately, my newly chosen elector is quite reliable when it comes to talking about things. At least what this old boy said was consistent. At first glance, I didn't hear any flaws.
As long as his ability to do things is as good as his words, there is no need to impose any restrictions on the other party. Extending his power to build the bank beyond the duchy is really just a small matter, and Ke Yin wishes he had more people to do it for him.
As for whether the old Duke had any other plans behind his back, saying no would be too insulting to the intelligence of a certain magician and goddess.
It's just that Lin couldn't see the strategic layout behind the old Duke. At most, he guessed that the old man would think of ways to fight his own war. When the old Duke first came this morning, he was trying to drag someone into his muddy water. With his little care, it's really hard for others to guess wrong. But it’s none of my business!
Although Ke Yin did not think about the war that the old Duke was facing, he also did not think that such a big noble would be so kind and only help him promote the layout of banks and new coins without benefiting from it. But, so what.
Since there are no big mistakes in the early considerations, this old boy won't do anything bad and make people disgusted. Then it was just using the influence of banks and money to instruct those little kings or nobles to do things. If this is not allowed, then do you really want others to help the goddess work in vain? As a god, how could he be so naive.
With the tacit understanding of everyone, the old Duke's proposal was approved. In fact, all subsequent efforts will be made by the old man himself, without any effort from others.
The other one person and one god just kept silent and did not hinder the old man. Or when something is almost finished, it’s just a helping hand, it doesn’t take much effort. This kind of favor that goes along with the flow is not earned in vain, and everyone gets what they need.
When the discussion between one god and one old man is completed, the most anxious person is none other than Grand Duke Kawei. He has a myriad of plans to unfold, people to give orders to, and people to fill in the details. In every aspect, he is not a self-employed individual who can mount a gun with a slap on the forehead.
Anyway, there was no food left in Ko Yin's Kingdom of God. After the old Duke caught a certain magician and used the flash technique to return to the holy city of Estali, he hurriedly grabbed his attendant who looked worried and stunned, and jumped on When customizing a car, step on the accelerator!
Thanks to the development of the automobile industry, the old Duke specially ordered people to build a road from the Duke of Kawi to the holy city of Estali to accommodate the passage of cars. Nowadays, taking advantage of this spacious road and the still sparse traffic flow, the elderly can use this dirt road as a highway, push the accelerator to the bottom, and return to their own territory in half a day.
It was just such a wild ride that the heart of the young man sitting in the passenger seat, who was known as the most daring family waiter, was about to jump out of his mouth!
What was particularly frightening was that when encountering a monster or wild beast blocking the road, the old Duke would not step on the brakes, but would directly activate the car's savage collision magic, directly smashing the big guy blocking the road into pieces. Until the car drove into the Kawei family's castle, there were still a few pieces of meat scraps stuck to the hood, and blood stains that were about to be dried by the wind.
Duke Kawei left the car to the attendant who was responsible for taking care of it. He entered the main castle and shouted, "Noonan, Noonan! Where are you?"
The old Duke moved quickly and shouted urgently. The waiters did not dare to delay. Someone who knew said from the side: "My lord, Marquis Farshid is in the study."
"knew."
At this end, Duke Kawei quickly headed towards the study. On the other end, other servants went to inform the first heir to the grand duke, his eldest son, Marquis Nonan Farshid, who was staying in the study to handle official business.
This is not because there is any bad blood between father and son, it is just a normal notification after the Grand Duke returns to the castle. The only thing that wasn't normal was that the energetic old man seemed to be getting younger. Especially the white hair, which has returned to the reddish-brown color that is the trademark of the Kawi family.
If this man wasn't wearing the attire of a grand duke, and his voice and voice were still the same as before, everyone in the castle would have wondered who this man who was shouting at the top of his voice was.
The same doubt also happened to Marquis Noonan Farshed. When he saw the person who broke into the study, he almost told him to get out; he even called his own guards to arrest the person who broke into the secret place.
But even if his father has become younger, how could he not recognize him? In addition, someone informed me that the old Duke was back.
The idea of rejuvenation may be too exaggerated, but in the magical world of Lost Land, resurrection after death is enough, and restoration of youth is not an impossible thing. So Marquis Farshed asked tentatively: "Father?"
"Hey, boy, get your pen, paper and brain ready. I have a lot of things to explain. Also, notify all the stewards and the nobles staying in the castle to gather together. We have a big move to make." The old Duke snapped. Said.
"Father, is this about to start a war?" Marquis Farshid thought of the most important things happening to his family in the near future. It's just the time to start the war, the old Duke has said before. But now is not the time to start the war as mentioned before.
"No, it's not a war. It's more important than that. Let the bastard of the Rizal family live a little longer. What I have to do now may be related to the development of the family in the next hundred or even two hundred years."
Although Marquis Noonan Farshed felt at a loss, he still followed his father's instructions and went to inform everyone. At the same time, he thought, didn't he rush to the holy city of Estali to see the magician because of the bank matter? There was a big move when I came back. What happened?
Next is the communication time between father and son. As the first heir to the Duke, Marquis Farshid is not only well-informed, but also has enough perspective to examine everything, but this heir, who is no longer young, is still frightened by what he heard.
