The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

At night, both Chiayan were taken into the castle by Pidro after they were dressed up in disguise. Although Chechen was only talking about Kiayan, who had worked as a housekeeper, Pedro felt that there was another one, and there was competition between the two Jews, so that he could get the most benefit.

However, Kiayan and Kiayan seem to have no idea that the other party is their own competitor. From the time they got on Pidro’s carriage, the two began to talk enthusiastically, forgetting that they were on the carriage. There is a third person. This gave Pidro a sense of frustration after the scheme was dismantled.

When he arrived at the study room of the castle, Cheerchen had already been waiting in it. Because he didn't want Bacht to misunderstand anything, tonight, apart from Cheerchen and Pidro, no other members of the mercenary group were there.

As soon as he walked into the study, Pidro said loudly: "Two, tonight our mercenary group leader Chechen invited you to come, I believe you all know what it is for. We fought **** battles in Crimea and won There are few trophies, and now we hope to invest them in finance to make profits."

"That's it." Cheerchen confirmed Pidro's statement.

The two Kiayaans glanced at each other. In the end, Kiayan of Silesia spoke first: "Head Chechen, Deputy Head Pedro, how much are you going to invest?"

Although Kiayan of Poland didn't speak, this question is what he wants to know the most. Although Kiayan of Poland knew that his master had made a fortune in Crimea, he did not know how big this so-called "fortune" was.

Cheerchen and Pidro looked at each other, and finally Cheerchen reported a number: "400,000 talers."

Uncle Chechen actually got more than 400,000 talers when he came to Poland, but based on the reason that eggs cannot be put in a basket, they also left part of their assets. Some of them were even buried deep in the forest, only the core members of the mercenary group knew.

When they heard the number of "400,000 talers", the two Kiayans almost suffocated.

Four hundred thousand talers, this was an astronomical figure at the time.

At that time, one taler was approximately equal to 28 grams of silver. The monthly salary of a regular army (non-mercenary) under Karl X was 2 talers, and the monthly salary of a second lieutenant was 11 talers. Chechen’s 400,000 talers can recruit an army of 100,000 for more than a year (the pure number does not include equipment, etc.). During the Thirty Years’ War, Wallenstein, the "mercurial king", and several Jewish bankers contracted the military expenditures of the Holy Roman Empire. The power of Simia and Austria to coin their own currency. The price they spend is 500,000 talers per year.

Seeing that the two Kiayans were shocked, Cheerchen and Pidro didn't go to wake them up, but waited for a while.

After a while, it was Kiayan of Poland who reacted first. After all, he had done things under Prince Janusz Raziwiew, and he was more able to bear it in his heart.

"My benefactor and protector," Kiayan of Poland stepped forward and grabbed Pidro and Chechen's sleeves irrespective of politeness. "Put this money in the Jewish consortium to which I belong. I can do it now. Give 10% interest per year."

Before Kiayan of Poland could finish speaking, Kiayan of Silesia also recovered from the shock of the astronomical figures. He originally thought that no matter how much money such a mercenary group had, it would be no more than 40,000 or 50,000 talers, but he did not expect it to be such a large sum of money.

This Silesian Kiayan is not alone, behind him there is also a huge Jewish consortium, the leader of this consortium in Silesia is called Rothschild. Kiayan really regretted that if he had known such a large business, he should have notified Rothschild to come and talk in person.

Kiayan from Silesia slapped Kiayan from Poland hard and grabbed Pidro and Chechen's sleeves. At this time, his face was as bright as a cockscomb on a rooster's head.

"I can give 11%." Kiayan of Silesia exclaimed. Although according to the regulations, he only has the authority to give 6% interest, but Kiayan of Silesia can't care about it. He believes that the people in the organization will fully agree with him to exceed his authority after knowing the situation.

Kiayan from Poland gave Kiayan from Bohemia a hateful look. At this time, the two were like enemies.

In the face of huge interests, even Jews would not care about their compatriots.

Pedro wanted this effect.

At this time, Pidro didn't know where he conjured a wooden hammer. Following the appearance of an auctioneer, he knocked on the table: "11% once."

"I pay 12%, and once the borrower cannot repay the loan, you will give priority to the other side's collateral as compensation." Poland's Kiayan offered a higher price.

Compared to Kiayan in Silesia, this one in Poland is much more powerful. He can give up to 14% of the interest rate of the borrower, so 12% of the interest rate, he can give it without too much thinking.

Pidro was flushed with excitement when he heard the figure of 12%. That's a 12% interest of 400,000 talers a year, which means that even if their uncles and nephews don't do anything, they can get 48,000 talers a year. Moreover, even if the other party cannot repay the debt, there are still various collaterals to repay oneself.

"Is there any higher!" Pedro shouted, his bloodshot eyes fixedly looking at the one in Silesia.

At this time, Kiayan of Silesia deliberately called out a higher price, but his authority was limited, and no matter how high he was, he was afraid that he would not be able to go back and explain.

"Okay, 13%."

Suddenly, Chiayan of Silesia heard Pidro raise his arm and shouted at him.

He shouted 13% for Ki Ayan.

At this moment, Cheer Chen and the two Ki Ayan were shocked and stunned by Pidro's operation.

"me……"

Kiayan of Silesia said he did not call such a high interest, but there seemed to be something stuck in his throat, and his words were unsatisfactory.

On the other hand, Kiayan from Poland said to Pidro with a mournful face: "Master, there is no such thing as you play!"

"Why not!" Pidro said confidently: "I heard Keayan call out 13% in his heart."

Ki Ayang looked at Cheerchen with his help-seeking eyes.

"uncle."

Cheerchen said something deliberately, but Pidro stopped him as soon as he spoke.

What a joke, Pedro is a veteran of greasy origin. He knows these Jews too well-he lends them a 13% interest rate, and they must borrow at least 18%.

After that, no matter what Kiayan said, Pedro refused to go down. In desperation, Kiayan of Poland gritted his teeth and said: "I'm sorry, Captain Chechen, and Deputy Captain Pidro, your asking price is too high, I can't bear it."

After speaking, Kiayan gave a salute and was about to leave. And Chiayan of Silesia looked at Pidro and Chechen, then at Kiayan of Poland, and left.

At this time, Pidro had no intention of retaining guests. He just said indifferently: "Don't send it."

The two Chiayan went downstairs together.

The Silesian Kiayan said to Poland’s Kiayan: "Deputy Captain Pidro is too greedy. We must not let his conspiracy succeed. 12% is 12%."

The Chiayan chicken from Poland nodded like a grain of rice, "Yes, yes. We will never compromise. We must form an offensive and defensive alliance."

"A word is a deal."

"A word is settled!"

The two walked to the gate of the castle, and then said goodbye to each other politely.

On the upper floor of the castle, Cheerchen was also going to rest as he saw the Ki Ayans leaving. But Pedro grabbed him.

"Wait a little longer," Piedro said.

"Waiting for what?"

"You'll know right away," Piedro said mysteriously.

After a while, footsteps came from the corridor.

The door was pushed open, and Kiayan of Silesia appeared at the door.

"Two heads, I think you should consider the 12% interest rate again." Silesia's Kiayan said.

Cheerchen didn't speak, he looked at his uncle. At this time he understood, it turned out that Uncle Pidro was waiting for this Kiayan to come back. He expected that Chiayan of Silesia was reluctant to bear it, and as expected, **** was still old and spicy.

Pidro heard what Chiayan of Silesia said but did not immediately answer. He took out a pocket watch and looked at it carefully.

As for Silesia’s Kiayan, he determined that he had no rivals, and he was not in a hurry. The night was still long anyway, and he had time. So he just stood so straight and waited ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ ticking, five minutes passed by the pointer of the pocket watch. At this time, the corridor thought of footsteps again.

The door was pushed open again, and this time Kiayan from Poland came in.

Kiayan of Poland was panting. As soon as he opened the door, he shouted: "My benefactor, protector, you should accept my 12% interest rate. No one will be higher than this. "

Suddenly, Ki Ayan saw Ki Ayan standing in the corner of the room.

Time and space seemed to stop, and the two of them stared at each other.

"You are here."

"Yeah, you too."

After a while of embarrassment, there was another fierce bargaining.

At dawn, Poland's Kiayan finally raised a percentage point and took the huge sum of money at an interest rate of 14%.

However, as Pidro guessed, the interest charged by the Jewish consortium to which Kiayan belongs to borrowers is 20%, and they hold 6%.

When Kiayan was about to sign the contract, Chechen implied an additional condition that the money they gave to the Jewish consortium could not be loaned to a country that was at war with the Republic of Poland.

Regarding this article, Kiayan agreed without even thinking about it.

Cheerchen lent the money with confidence.

But Cheerchen didn't know, and he couldn't think about it. Once he turned the money out into capital, the flow of capital was beyond his control.

And two hundred years after Cheechen lived, the later Marx commented on capital in this way: "If there is 10% profit, capital will be guaranteed to be used everywhere; with 20% profit, capital can become active; yes With 50% of profits, capital will take risks; for 100% of profits, capital will dare to trample on all the laws of the world; with more than 300% of profits, capital will dare to commit any crime."
