Public trial?You deserve it too!

Now, continue to study with peace of mind, and then set off a gorgeous rebellion against me who stands at the top of this system-because this is what I am most looking forward to seeing.

Now, my dear readers, do you know what a system is?

Students who learn from me: Chapter 208 Chapter 190 Chapter [-] The plan to be activated again

"Well done, even I couldn't have planned better - I have nothing left to teach you."

Leichter smiled and handed the assignment back to Gutenberg.

"I just thought that I could use this year to lead you into the door, and then you can learn from others slowly, but obviously, I underestimated your talent too much, Gutenberg. You Your sensitivity to the economy allowed you to achieve your previous status by relying on your talent—it seems that you are no worse than Albert."

Gutenberg just shook his head.

"You are too generous. I am just a sinner. It is already my luck to receive your selfless teaching this year. How dare I ask for other things?"

"There's no need to belittle yourself, and you don't need to be so pessimistic about the future—since His Majesty doesn't intend to kill you, then he will definitely use you, but it's just a matter of position at most."

Leicht looked at Gutenberg, who was calm and without any waves, and sighed in his heart.

Perhaps, he has done too many wrong things in the past few decades.

If he had known that Gutenberg had such a talent, he would have brought him by his side and let him learn from him early, then the other party would not have been involved in those bullshit things, and naturally he would not have been abducted Gus Du instructed to do things like smuggling with the business alliance.

Now that I think about it, if Augustus asked Gutenberg to do this kind of thing, he might have the intention of pinning the blame on the other party...

"I'm still proud of my own vision... how stupid..."

Licht sighed softly.

"Everything is almost settled. After this year's annual meeting of nobles is over, there will finally be a chance to make up for all the mistakes and mistakes made."

The young man did not speak, but lowered his eyes, not wanting the old man to see his eyes.

Because of that kind of distrust and suspicion, it will make the elderly feel uncomfortable.

They had discussed several times before, and the two had completely different ideas about Augustus's determination and means to wipe out the great nobles—it was just that Gutenberg became less and less concerned about this matter every time. Report confidence.

The biggest problem is that the emperor forbids Leicht to intervene in this plan.

There is no more inconceivable order than the planning and implementation of a plan without the participation of the planners—Lechter said that His Majesty the Emperor trusted Augustus' ability, and at the same time he wanted the eldest prince to obtain this by himself. Credit, so that he can force him to step down smoothly.

But Gutenberg felt that what the emperor really believed in was the fact that Augustus' abilities were not worthy of trust...

Leicht lost the source of news from Augustus, and the emperor ordered the old man to "ground his feet" at home, which made Leicht almost completely blind this year. He could only rely on With his own optimism and imagination, he speculates on the plan of the First Prince.

But Gutenberg is not, he still has a source of information in his hands - this is what he left behind for himself after being assigned by the First Prince to trade with the Merchant Alliance, while secretly keeping hands for the Imperial Intelligence Bureau At the end, on the one hand, I hid a few threads that belonged only to me in the chamber of commerce.

In order to forcefully reach Leicht's side before, he arranged all his trusted subordinates on the way, and coupled with surprise, he had to reach Leicht's side completely and finish his speech.Although some of these people have been lost, there are still some who survived, still lurking nearby.

In addition, after the incident broke out, Augustus voluntarily retreated, so Gutenberg managed to barely grasp some channels around the Leicht mansion.

It’s just that his heart is like a mirror, and these channels are probably reserved for himself because the Imperial Intelligence Bureau thinks they are not important. After all, someone has already reported to him, saying that they have seen someone staring at them.

He just comforted them a few words, saying that this was an open transaction, and then rewarded him with a huge amount of money to ensure the smooth flow of his information channels—even more information than he could get when he was sneaking under the command of the First Prince. some.

It was by relying on these news and intelligence that Gutenberg could detect problems that Leicht could not detect at all. Only through one incident, he could be sure that Augustus must be preparing something, and that incident Definitely not dealing with big nobles!

Because the Barr Chamber of Commerce he founded disappeared.

No, it cannot be said that it disappeared, but it should be said that it was dismantled into pieces, and then all the scattered pieces were sold-this has almost become a semi-public thing, and it is publicized that Gutenberg is due to tax evasion Tax evasion was investigated, and His Royal Highness felt that no matter whether it was true or not, the chamber of commerce could no longer be used, so he directly threw it away.

But Gutenberg knew that this was impossible, because Augustus absolutely could not leave his Baal Chamber of Commerce-especially in recent years.

A prince's source of income is basically royal appropriations, political donations, fief taxes, and the caravans he formed to do business.

The royal family appropriation is only for each prince to support a knight order under his command, while the tax money of the fiefdom is to support the prince to live a decent life, so the money that can really be used for his own power comes from political donations and business. Doing business with a team - this has always been the purpose of the royal family, to earn extra things they want by themselves.

So Ludwig had no caravans, no loyalists, and he was able to live so chicly before—the royal family allocated funds to support the army, and the fief tax money supported himself. He had no influence, and he didn't need to spend money. Running around, neither spending money nor earning money, is a genius in the flat world, a wonderful flower of the royal children.

As for the First Prince, although there are many loyal people, they are basically nobles, or there is a caravan of nobles standing behind them. pay……

Maybe it would be easier for Luo Zhi to order the house raid directly on one charge.

This was the real reason why Gutenberg was able to gain the trust of Augustus - he really needed a chamber of commerce that had no noble background and was simply loyal to him alone.Only in this way can his face and identity as the crown prince be exchanged for the market and gold coins at an equivalent value, and flow into his private treasury, instead of being pumped by the nobles layer by layer, and in the end he might even say that Barabara is a big boy with a mournful face. A bunch of reasons, saying that I still lost money...

Although Gutenberg's allegiance has only been a few years, the income of the Baal Chamber of Commerce he founded has already accounted for more than one-third of Augustus's personal income—if it weren't for the sense of crisis in the nobles' hearts , Increased political donations, this proportion can be even greater.

After experiencing the Provence incident, this proportion has risen to one-half.After the smuggling trade between Augustus and the Chamber of Commerce was fully opened, the gold coins he provided had accounted for almost three-quarters of Augustus's personal income, and if it was in terms of total income, it was called It is not an exaggeration to get rich overnight.

Gutenberg knew Augustus too well, especially after he lost the crown prince filter and no longer believed that the other party was worthy of awe, Gutenberg was as if enlightened, and instantly saw through this fake big prince.

Augustus was nothing more than a greedy businessman.

For money, he can turn a blind eye to the Provence governor's oppression of civilians, and even spare no effort to cover the other party; for money, he can betray his identity and country, and collude with the merchant alliance for smuggling, causing a large amount of wealth to flow out of the empire; for money, He can even treat the great noble who killed his mother...

Every time he thinks of this, Gutenberg will feel cold all over his body. Although he knows that it is too ridiculous to talk about family affection in the royal family, Augustus's behavior can also be ranked high in the historical records of filial sons. number.

So he can be [-]% sure that Augustus will never give up any tool that can make money, especially the Bar Chamber of Commerce!

You must know that in the past two years, the Baal Chamber of Commerce has recruited countless traveling merchants by smuggling goods, spreading its trade routes all over the territory of the empire, and even becoming the guest of many nobles.Those small merchants almost broke their heads in order to get the certificate of the Baal Chamber of Commerce-because of this, the nobles dare not desperately pump their profits.

Therefore, even if Gutenberg uncovered the inside story now, after the Baer Chamber of Commerce could not do smuggling business, relying on trade routes and the compromise of the nobles, and only doing normal commodity circulation, it would definitely be a huge cash cow—— At most, it is more swollen now, and some fat needs to be cut off.

Even if Gutenberg is not at the helm, at most there will be some shrinkage and partial necrosis, but a few years of quick money can still be obtained, and after a few years after this turbulent period has passed, the re-stabilized Baer Chamber of Commerce, and A long way to go for Augustus.

Considering that Augustus will inevitably step down after this year, the Knights under his command will be deprived, the royal appropriation will also be reduced to the military expenditure of a guard, and political donations are even more impossible——The importance of the Bar Chamber of Commerce to Augustus Sex speaks for itself.

But now, Augustus actually disassembled the entire Barr Chamber of Commerce and sold it?

This is like killing the only chicken that lays golden eggs in the family just to have a sip of chicken soup.

Augustus was a greedy businessman, he would never do this kind of thing, but from the perspective of a businessman, Gutenberg obviously understands this kind of thing best...

This means that Augustus felt that killing the chicken that laid the golden eggs was a reasonable and even lucrative business...

So Gutenberg immediately seized this thread and ordered his subordinates to thoroughly investigate all news about the sale of the Baal Chamber of Commerce.

It took half a year for this matter one after another, and it was not until recently that the collection was almost complete. After all, the Barr Chamber of Commerce is also a large chamber of commerce that involves almost all cities in the country. Some information may not be obtained in the imperial capital alone. Collect everywhere.

The news that was passed on to Gutenberg was very fragmented and scattered. If a normal person saw it, he would only feel dazzled and confused.

But who was Gutenberg?He was the helm of the Barr Chamber of Commerce before!It is recognized by Leichter, a genius who is hard-earned by talent in finance!

So he quickly sorted out the news in his hand, and then discovered an astonishing fact——

The so-called Barr Chamber of Commerce was dismantled into pieces and then sold off at a low price, which is a big joke.

It was easy for Gutenberg to send out that the people he promoted and the scope of their responsibilities were indeed sold. Those regions and business areas visited——

None were listed for sale.

not a single one.

It shows that the most sold ones are actually the real estate facilities of the Barr Chamber of Commerce in various places, and those most important business routes, as well as the markets occupied by various places, have not been found to be abandoned at all. Although it is said to be acquired, but It just changed the name of the Chamber of Commerce, and then it was able to seamlessly connect with the Baer Chamber of Commerce, truly achieving a perfect transition from the acquisition last night to the sale this morning.

What's even more strange is that the above situations only appeared in various cities of the empire, but the situation in the imperial capital is completely different.

In the imperial capital, Augustus simply let go and gave up all the markets. The Baal Chamber of Commerce really handed over all the commercial markets. Gutenberg can be sure of this, but at the same time he is sure that a little.

That is the house and land assets of the Barr Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital. Except for the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce that he had been carrying, which was sold, the others did not appear on the sold list.

Those huge warehouses near the Lower Town and the Spree River wharf, the dormitories for the convoys and porters, and the sales outlets almost all over the city, these Gutenberg once carefully arranged, chose the address, and had great ambitions. The layout of the people who want to do a big business in the imperial capital-seems to have completely disappeared.

Those plots had already been taken by Gutenberg early on—in the name of the Barr Chamber of Commerce.

If all these places are marked on the map of the imperial capital, it will be a vast network covering every corner of every midtown and lower town. It is true that there are warehouses in every place, and there are stores of the Baer Chamber of Commerce in every place. ——

This is the ambition Gutenberg once had!

However, almost none of these plots appeared in the sales list he compiled.

But Gutenberg knew that those places existed, all the warehouses had been built, and only half of the construction of the dormitories had started, because there were not many people who needed to live there, and there were even fewer sales outlets—because in the imperial capital, Augustus It is said that he has enough manpower and places to sell.

Later, Gutenberg also learned that those so-called "manpower" and sales locations were actually gangsters, and they controlled taverns and shops, so the warehouses were built at full capacity, and the others were ordered by Augustus to be closed indefinitely. Postpone.

Until now, he has received the latest news——

The dormitory area seems to have been completely completed.

Learn from Me: Chapter 209 Chapter 190 Chapter [-] Dinner

Gutenberg didn't believe it. In the current situation, Augustus wanted to help Gutenberg realize his dream.

But obviously, those buildings that rise from the ground cannot just be put there to look good, either they put things, or people, or...

Both are available.

Gutenberg inevitably let his thoughts slip into the abyss—an abyss that can be called treason.He forced himself to think differently, but it was clear that all reality was pointing to this only possibility.

His Royal Highness the Great Prince Augustus seems to be planning to do some "extreme" things.

Once this idea exists, people will involuntarily think about it, so Gutenberg continued to think about it, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became - because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth.

But he dared not say anything.

He looked at the old man in front of him—would Leichter believe him?

No, his trust in Augustus is definitely much higher than in himself.

So, do you want to find a way to report to His Majesty the Emperor?

That's too much.

You know, I was notified by the Imperial Intelligence Bureau to report the truth about Augustus’s smuggling to Leicht—and even I can find out the strange things on Augustus’s side. Could it be that the Imperial Intelligence Bureau can’t find out? are you there?

Even Gutenberg had a thought that frightened him even more——

Your Majesty the Emperor, did you already know that Augustus would definitely choose to take this path?

You know, if the emperor ordered Leichter to take charge of the plan to wipe out the great nobles, and let Augustus assist him, then the eldest prince would definitely not be able to do something about it, and could only follow Leicht obediently, because he It is absolutely impossible to hide it from the old man in charge. Even if he wants to take the risk, he will definitely be found out by Leicht.

This is not the previous situation. On the one hand, Leicht completely trusted him, and on the other hand, he let Augustus handle all aspects by himself, so he was blinded by him. Now the old man is almost desperate. How could he give Augustus another chance to fool himself just to watch the great nobleman die?

However, the emperor issued a verbal order, directly preventing Leicht from this plan. It was an order that should not have been given, but the old emperor issued it without hesitation, and did not even give Leicht anything. There is room for folding.

The old man can only be eager to visit the Augustus mansion during the holidays and exchange a few words with the other party, so that he can barely understand the implementation content of the plan, so as not to panic at home.

But in this situation, it is too easy to deceive him...

"Well, the annual meeting is coming soon, and I'm still not at ease—it just so happens that I have a reason to go to Augustus's mansion, so I'll go there once in a fair manner, so as to save the great nobles from being suspicious."

Leicht was obviously still worried, and wanted to take a look at the critical moment.

Gutenberg was stunned, and hurriedly dissuaded him: "Your Excellency, the arrow is on the string now, why don't you go at this time..."

Leicht clenched his fist, but still shook his head.

"No, I'm still going to listen to Augustus and help him fill in the gaps, so that I can feel at ease—don't worry, it won't arouse suspicion. On the contrary, as the teacher of His Royal Highness, I am the teacher of His Royal Highness. It’s even more suspicious that he didn’t visit.”

Gutenberg felt bitter. He was not afraid that the nobles would become suspicious, but he was afraid that Augustus would really put all his eggs in one basket. Now that Leicht went, it would be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth, and there was no possibility of getting out.At that time, no matter whether the great nobleman wants to kill him or the emperor thinks that Leicht is also involved, the old man will be completely finished!

"Sir, if you really want to go, I want to go with you."

The man gritted his teeth and decided to go all out.

"what are you going to do?"

Leichter froze.

"Go... go and apologize to His Royal Highness the First Prince! Make an official apology!" Gutenberg said in a hurry, "Didn't you say something kind to me before? That time was not my formal apology, and His Highness did not accept it, so this time, I I want to publicly apologize to His Highness!"

"...Is that so? It also makes sense..."

Leicht obviously still hesitated, he wanted to refuse, because letting Gutenberg appear in Augustus' mansion at this time might make the nobles feel disgusted and add unnecessary variables to the plan .

"Your Excellency, I can pretend to be your entourage and go with you as your groom. If Your Highness wants to see me, you can let me meet His Highness. If you think it is unnecessary, I will obediently stay in the carriage and wait for you to come back. OK?"

Gutenberg's pleading voice made Leicht sigh from the bottom of his heart. The other party was still a young man. Obviously, some things could not be let go. Will care about Gutenberg.

"Okay, then I will trouble you to be my coachman. You can discuss with my housekeeper about the trip."

Leicht finally backed down, but he made up his mind that Gutenberg would not be allowed into Augustus' mansion, and he would just stay in the carriage.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

Gutenberg bowed deeply, with a firm light shining in his eyes.
