honor me as god

Chapter 479
The outside of the treasury is heavily guarded by imperial guards who specialize in martial arts, but there is no defense inside the treasury.

After the leak-free interrogation outside, it is impossible for idlers to enter the treasury, so there are at most a few imperial guards patrolling routinely to monitor the clerks working here.

The clerks who worked in actuarial calculations sat in front of the abacus table, with financial statements piled up in front of them. They immersed themselves in the calculation of the above data, conducted verification comparisons and data analysis, and then sorted them into new documents.

The clerk in charge of the cashier took the king's handwritten letter from Bao Erdian, read it carefully, and made a "please" gesture, leading the three of them to the treasury.

Different from the resplendent and jeweled appearance as imagined, the treasury does not have any particularly fancy decorations, it is just a huge airtight warehouse, and what is placed in it is not goods, but a large amount of moon coins and coinage raw materials.

The interior area of ​​the vault is so huge that it is difficult to see the end at a glance. There are layers of neatly arranged shelves, all of which have regular naming methods, which is convenient for financial personnel to carry out statistics.

The finished monthly coins stored here are differentiated by type, with 10 pieces in each stack, placed on the shelf with almost obsessive-compulsive precision, which looks quite physically beautiful when viewed from a distance.

This is the financial lifeline of Dogrand, whether it is maintaining the daily operations of the kingdom or financial scheduling during emergencies, it is closely related to this place.

If the treasury is full, the country will be safe and the people will be safe, but if the treasury is empty, the country will be weak and the people will be poor.

Dogrand has not been prosperous and stable in recent years. This ancient kingdom first broke out with the animalization epidemic, experienced the "Laurel War" in the year 486 of the fire calendar, and then the coup d'état in the royal city in the year 500 of the fire calendar. Its finances were once on the verge of drying up. .

Fortunately, there have been no more wars since the coup in Wangcheng more than ten years ago, and the state of the treasury has turned around. It is now at a "stable" level. It can't be called rich, but it can't be called empty either.

1000 gold moons are unimaginable wealth for an individual, but for a country, it is not a huge amount.

After the cashier officials checked the handbook, they recruited people to start counting the number of Jinyue.

The stacks of gold moons on the wooden shelf were taken away and put into boxes. Seeing this, Edward half-jokingly said: "1000 gold moons can buy a bottle of 4-star permanent potion, and you can cultivate a man whose strength is comparable to The Transcendent of the 4th sequence;"

"If you change to Yinyue, you can buy the land of a town and become a powerful landlord."

"Exchanging it into copper and iron moons can buy a mountain of grain, and support 3 full-stacked legions that are out of production for a whole year."

"And now, that wealth is going to feed a kidnapper."

Bao Erdian waited with regret for the officials to count the monthly coins, shook his head and sighed and said: "I agree with His Majesty the King. Although it is a pity to give away 1000 gold moons for nothing, if the money can be exchanged for Abao, I will give it to you." gave."

"Abao's caravan is an extremely important part of the kingdom's trade line, and it has business contacts with large and small chambers of commerce everywhere. If something happens to Abao and the Far East Dynasty tightens trade, it will deal a big blow to our economy. By then But it’s not a matter of losing 1000 gold moons.”

"What if he's already dead?" Edward shrugged and said flatly, "If Po is already a corpse right now as we speak, how bad would it be?"

"Believe me, if your guess comes true, it will never be a good result." Bao Erdian gently stroked his beard and said silently, "Of course, if this kind of thing really happens, we can only do our best to make up for it Consequences. At least it is certain that the foundation of the Yangyang Kingdom will not be shaken by the death of a Bao, and Dougland is not so fragile."

"Speaking of which, don't you have anything to say? Consul Chino." Edward looked at Chino, squinting his eyes, "You and Bao had business dealings before, and his life and death are unknown now. Your reaction seems to be very serious. calm."

Kino said lightly: "What can I say? Like what you said—the business relationship——Abao and I are not friends, but just trading partners. He can provide the goods I want. The role is limited to this.”

"If Ah Bao dies, someone else will take over the Ah Bao caravan, and there will be another cat, dog, and pig who will come to me to discuss trade and continue to provide the goods I want, but it's just a different person. I have nothing to say."

"That's true." Edward chuckled and continued to ask, "Then what kind of person is Bao in your eyes?"

"Arrogant, domineering, unrestrained, and impolite." Chino counted Abao's shortcomings one by one, and finally met Edward's gaze with a little smile in his eyes, "If he is not the boss of Abao's caravan, The first day he comes to the Regent's Mansion, he will be dead, and he will not know how he died."

"Hahaha, you are really honest, and you dare to say such things at this juncture." Edward didn't know if he said this sincerely, or just playing on the spot.

He then looked at the box not far away and said, "It's almost packed."

Soon, the financial official came over and said respectfully: "Lord Edward, all 1000 gold moons have been counted and packed. Do you want to count them yourself, or just seal the box?"

"Just seal the box, I believe Lord Baldian's subordinates will not make low-level mistakes." Edward waved to everyone and took the lead to leave, "Let's go, don't delay the work of the treasury here."

There are rules for entering the treasury, and there are rules for going out of the treasury.

When going out of the treasury, it is necessary to "separate people and boxes", and people go through the security check again when they come out, and the iron-swallowing beast sniffs out whether there are metal products hidden.

If the Iron Swallowing Beast barked at this time, it would be a big trouble.

You were able to go in at the beginning, which means that there were no metal products on your body, but when you came out, you could only walk in with something.

Of course, this did not happen in Chino et al.

As for the cashier's box, they went through another channel. The imperial guards checked the contents according to the cashier's report, and finally "sealed" the box and shipped it out of the treasury.

When Chino and the others came out, the box was also shipped out and put on their carriage.

From this moment, the treasury cashier process is completed, and the monthly coins are truly delivered to the applicants.

If something unexpected happens, such as losing the monthly coin, the claimant will be responsible for it himself, and has nothing to do with the financial officials of the treasury.

Resakhar was blocked outside because of his negligence, and he was sitting on the side of the road bored at this time. When he saw the three of them coming out, he smiled wryly and said, "You can figure it out, I counted the ants on the ground several times. all over."

Edward joked: "You should find a chance to go in and have a look, I'm serious, those golden moons are almost blinding my eyes."

"Okay, don't irritate me, hurry up and get on my dragon and get down to business." Resakhar looked at the distant sky and muttered, "I hope we still have time."
