Magic Tower Starry Sky Chapter 1274

Grand Duke Ricardo Carvey stood on the high platform of the conference hall, looking down at the gathered vassals and family stewards. There is a huge mirror hanging on the wall on the other side, and on the other side of the mirror are the generals staying in the Western Army camp.

The camp gathered three legions that were preparing to attack the Lisa family's territory, and they continued to train. There is a large army assembled, of course it is impossible to have no one in control, so most of the young generals under the Kawei family stay in the camp, eating and living with the soldiers. The veterans stayed in the castle, designing an attack plan.

These people belong to the political and military team of Grand Duke Kavi.

In fact, with the scale of the Grand Duchy, if there is no emperor on it, it is no problem to establish a kingdom. But as the frontier ministers of the empire, the Kawei family certainly cannot rashly claim the king, which is no different from betrayal.

But even if you don't claim the title of king, the team that governs the territory is arranged according to the kingdom system. However, in order to avoid taboo titles, titles such as 'some minister' are not used, and of course there is no 'prime minister' or similar positions.

Now these people are whispering and whispering. If it weren't for the fact that most people here have seen the appearance of Duke Kavi when he was young, and the heir Marquis Falshid was standing aside, perhaps many people would not be able to understand that the middle-aged man with short reddish-brown wavy hair Why did Nian stand before the throne of the Grand Duke.

But besides confirming each other now, they are just waiting for the adult to speak.

In fact, until the vassals gathered, the old duke and his son were still exchanging views. In other words, the son is persuading his father. Regrettably, regardless of seniority, status, or even strength gap, when Grand Duke Kavi had an idea, he was not so easily persuaded.

In the end, Marquis Falshid, who was powerless to persuade, took a small half step back. I can only let my father play it.

"My friend." The old prince scanned the crowd. Regardless of literature and martial arts, many of them are comrades-in-arms who lived and died with him on the battlefield. "The first thing, I will hand over all my noble titles, and my son, Noonan, will inherit them all."

This declaration, of course, caused an uproar among the people.

The most important thing about the title of nobility is not the meaning represented by the name, but the fief ruling power represented by the title. This is why those honorary nobles who have no fiefs are not accepted by some old noble circles. In addition to the fact that most honorary nobles do not have hereditary rights, one of the reasons is that they do not have any real assets.

Generally speaking, apart from being deprived of the title of nobility, only real death will terminate its rights. Few of them voluntarily handed over during their lifetime and were inherited by the first heir. Because doing so means that the original nobles gave up the right to rule the territory and hand it over to the heirs.

In the history of Midi, there have been cases of title inheritance during his lifetime. Most of the former nobles made irreparable political mistakes, so they used this method to seek the forgiveness of the lord and the continuation of the family. A very small number of special cases are rarely seen in history books. Anyway, it is rare to see someone voluntarily giving up power.

Therefore, the old duke's actions seemed to be abdicating, seeking His Majesty's forgiveness, and canceling the recent efforts that everyone had made together.

Speaking of which, the grand duke's family raised the blood flag to take revenge on another grand duke. Although everyone did not object to this matter from the beginning, they did not accept it with pleasure. However, as a vassal, the humiliation of the emperor is like their humiliation; the nobles have a good face, and it is impossible to let go of this kind of thing.

Besides, Lord Kawei didn't hide the reason for raising the blood flag from his cronies, but just warned everyone not to publicize it. The son and his wife were killed, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter were insulted. If there is no revenge, then everyone has to consider whether to change the family.

As a feudal monarch, he has no blood, not only can't protect his family, but he can't take revenge for it. Then everyone will think about whether such a lord can protect himself. Between the lost monarch and his subjects, obligations are relative. There is no such thing as "the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die".

So even if everyone was slightly dissatisfied with the matter of raising the blood flag to another grand duke, no one publicly criticized it, and they did their best to prepare for the battle. Everyone knows that if one day they become the sufferer, their own inaction today may become the inaction of others tomorrow. This is why they gathered under the banner of the Kavi family.

However, is the Grand Duke cowardly? Planning to beg the emperor for mercy?

Thinking that the investment in the early preparations may be in vain, and even more concessions will be made. After being bitten by the Lisa family, no one can calmly view the news that the Grand Duke intends to abdicate. There was no riot on the spot, it was because everyone cultivated enough, and because Ricardo Kavijiwei was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Looking at the old fellows below, although he didn't object or question, the old duke couldn't see the resentment on his face. He was in a particularly good mood, and after appreciating everyone's expressions, he continued, "The reason why I decided to abdicate is because I have become a voter of the Goddess of Gold Coins and the bank affairs have been settled."

The old man who had become younger said, while raising his right hand, showing the holy emblem of Ke Yin, which is usually invisible on the back of the hand, but will emit a little bit of divine power after a little effort. This is proof of obtaining voter status. Ordinary believers, no matter how pious they are, may not be able to be blessed and leave stigmata on their bodies. This is the privilege of special people.

Looking at the holy emblem, everyone was a little confused now. Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?

The old prince waved his hand and said, "Map." Then an attendant quickly delivered two maps and spread them out in front of everyone.

One is a large map of the northern border of the empire, including the territory of the Kavi family and the Lisa family. The other is a map of the Duchy of Kavi and its surroundings.

Everyone is quite familiar with the second picture, including when using troops, they know which roads can be marched. What's more special is that there are more than ten positions marked with red ink on the picture. Each of these locations is a city, or at least a town of strategic importance. This is also the location where everyone had discussed before and planned to set up the bank.

The old duke glanced at Marquis Noonan Falshid, and the son couldn't help but slander: Even if his father really gave up the title of duke, with his strength and prestige, he still has a firm grasp on the title of duke. control. In his opinion, it's a **** thing to take off your pants and fart!

But Marquis Falshid could still tell what that look meant. When the son recognized his identity, he repeated the arrangement that his father had said before in front of everyone.

The content includes the construction location of the bank, which cannot be placed in the castle, and it is best to be placed close to the lively market.

How to decorate the interior. By the way, I also used the big water mirror technique to show a few interior renderings of the bank built by someone in the holy city of Estali.

The main building of the bank should be constructed in accordance with the above requirements very clearly. After everything was completed, Lord Kavi, who had become the elector of the goddess, consecrated the Great Holy Emblem of each bank in person.

If you can't meet the requirements, you may even violate some prohibited items. At that time, not to mention consecrating the Holy Emblem, I'm afraid there will be divine punishment.

In the holy city, there are many magicians and ordinary people who have been struck by lightning. Every time you chop, everyone will have a long memory. Otherwise, there will always be people who think that they can act cheaply and do not follow the rules.

This part was discussed before. What Marquis Falshid conveyed was nothing more than the final plan proposed in combination with the goddess' request. So no one has an opinion.

But what really shocked everyone was that the construction of the bank actually went beyond the territory of the Kavi family and extended northward beyond the Gwana Empire. Moreover, it also included three small countries in the north and five towns with a large population.

Everyone was puzzled, and someone finally asked: "My lord, what is the purpose of your arrangement? That is not within the scope of the Duke's territory."

"I know." The old duke replied, and at the same time ordered three old subordinates who had already been knighted, and said: "The territory of the three of you is close to the border, and you have experience in dealing with those people from the past. Today I will I give you a task, which is to reopen the trade with the north. Originally because of the emperor's ban, the stagnant internal trading of goods in the empire, select some unimportant ones to sell to the north. In addition to guiding them to use the function of the bank, we must also sell their inventory Bad money and fine money are searched out. Before they react, use the difference in bank currency exchange to make a fortune. As for bad money, use at least half of it.”

With that said, everyone will understand.

It is said that from the very beginning, the Kawei family, a noble family that favors military merit, will actively look for ways to open the banking function. In addition to being baptized by cars, people are more likely to accept new things, and the advantage of exchanging coins is also to persuade some old and stubborn people who are not so flexible, which is a very useful starting point.

Take the bad money and go to the bank to exchange coins. These damaged or impurity coins can be exchanged for 0.6 to 0.7 new coins. You must know that inside the empire, when they have to use bad money, most people use half of it~www.mtlnovel.com~, that is, two bad money is used as one fine money.

The exchange gap in the middle is enough to make the veteran nobles flock to it. After all, who doesn't have such a pity to throw away at home, piled up with land-occupied garbage.

Today, the business and banking layout of the Grand Duke made everyone realize that those weak countries and nobles around them who were selectively ignored and forgotten were actually a breach of the emperor's ban. Not only can you digest internal unsalable goods, but you can also use the opportunity of currency exchange to make more money. Enrich the wallets that everyone has shrunk in preparation for the war.

You must know that in the past, they were reluctant to trade with these small countries, not because the other party did not have special products, and the coins used in circulation were too poor, so they were disgusted by everyone. So even if the other party is willing to buy at a premium, the people of the empire proudly refuse, leaving only sporadic smuggling by some small merchants on the border.

However, these small merchants will also worry about what to do when they receive bad money or one-sided coins minted by non-empire. This is also the reason why smuggling is not flourishing.

Now that the issue of coins is no longer a problem, and when it is profitable from any angle, how can everyone not be tempted. Moreover, there is no need to send troops and risk death to **** it. You only need to sell goods normally, and you can earn a lot of gold and silver.

After thinking about it, everyone's eyes lit up.
