Chapter 489

    Marquis Ludwig took out from his pocket a large stack of black pieces of paper with white numbers on it. He took out one, came up to the kindling candle and lit it. The black paper gives birth to an orange flame, burns to the white number part, and emits an indigo flame. The orange wraps indigo, and a unique burning smell spreads.


    "Randall vouchers can''t be forged."


    The Marquis Ludwig threw away the burning black paper, raised the large stack of mutual aid vouchers in his hand and said: "At present, few people can make paper, let alone copy this special paper and dye. At the beginning, viscount Randall asked craftsmen to make paper with wheat straw. Everyone thought he wanted to process wheat straw into fuel for long-term storage. Later, viscount Randall forced displaced people to hire workers to wipe with paper... Well, deal with personal hygiene. In order to educate displaced people to love cleanliness, Rand Your paper and soap are forced to cover part of the wages of the migrant workers. The aristocracy thinks that this is due to Viscount Randall''s nature. He likes clean and beautiful things. Some people even satirize that his cleanliness is so serious that he has to pay attention to the personal hygiene of the refugees... Now it seems that Viscount Randall has long planned. "


    The Regent asked, "what does our Viscount Randall plot?"


    "Wait, show me your voucher first."


    Princess Roland jumped to the new palace phase, grabbed the mutual aid voucher in his hand, bent her beautiful big eyes into crescent teeth, and asked happily, "Wow, a lot... Did you win the prize? Did you win the prize?"


    "I asked my attendants to go to yeliucheng to buy 400 mutual aid vouchers and won 52 small awards and 7 medium Awards..." Marquis Ludwig shook his head and said with a smile: "Although the bonus is small, I was still very happy when I found out that I won the prize. There is a mutual aid voucher that only needs the middle number to win the prize... I sighed and couldn''t help but want to continue to buy it. Even the Marquis of the court never forgets the bonus of 2000 copper sol, which shows how attractive the mutual aid voucher is to the poor."


    Marquis Ludwig paused and said with a feeling: "Viscount Randall is young, but his grasp of the heart is so accurate... It''s terrible."


    The stack of mutual aid vouchers suddenly reached under his nose, shook, and quickly retracted. Roland grabbed the mutual aid vouchers in his hand, shook them with a loud noise, and asked with his eyes shining: "is the winning mutual aid vouchers in it? Who should I go to yeliucheng to cash the prize?"


    The eldest princess of Gambis has made these vouchers her own.


    "Your Highness Roland Auguste, we are talking business." Marquis goron warned in a deep voice.


    "Old man, winning the prize is also a business." Roland raised his beautiful face and said confidently.


    Seeing the trend of quarrel between the two, Catherine made a round in time and said gently, "Dear Roland, can you show me the mutual aid voucher invented by Victor?"


    Roland returned to his position, handed the voucher to Catherine, put his chin on his hands and said, "I really want to win the grand prize, too."


    The youngest daughter of the eldest princess is so simple and pure that she can''t help but want to meet her wishes. Marquis Ludwig seems to face his favorite granddaughter and say: "Princess Royal, the chance of winning a grand prize is only one or ten million, very little. As for the middle and small prizes, they are 15 bronze Saul and 6 bronze soles, and the prize is so poor that they can''t get the prize, and of course, the prize is not necessary."


    "Then I didn''t get it?"


    Roland''s eyes as beautiful as blue lake suddenly became bright and said with a smile, "I''ll get them."


    The Marquis Ludwig smiled bitterly and said, "it''s useless... The vouchers have 72 days to redeem and expire. I bought these vouchers two and a half months ago."


    Disappointed, Roland lay weakly on the table and said, "Victor is so cunning."


    "Very cunning." Williams nodded repeatedly and said, "I read the spy''s report. 20% of the proceeds from the sale of mutual aid vouchers were used as the issuance cost, 40% were charged into the bonus pool, and the remaining 40% belonged to the Mutual Aid Association. Victor exchanged paper for money and did a gambling business that was profitable and sure to make a profit."


    Catherine bowed her head and glanced at her seductive red lips.


    Hum, what cunning? Victor, it''s called wisdom.


    "It''s a pity that Viscount Randall spends his mind on the lower class just to make a little money."


    Marquis goron shook his head disapprovingly, with a regretful expression.


    Copper sols are copper sols. One million copper sols are only worth 772 gold sols. The Randall family''s annual financial income exceeds 50000 gold sols. Victor, why?


    "Your Highness goron, this is not small money."


    Marquis Ludwig said solemnly: "Randall''s vouchers have been spread to Jinshui City, Tongcheng city and vistock. Even in the outer city of brinor, there are refugee gangs who follow the vouchers and set up gambling business. However, the number carrier they use is particularly easy to be imitated, and this business has not been able to be done. In fact, viscount Randall monopolized the voucher gambling with black paper, which has formed an industry. Just now Take the westock city of the Wellington family for example. The local gangs directly collect the gambling principal from the refugees according to the price of 4 copper sols, write down the number they buy, and then send it to Yeliu city to buy Randall mutual aid vouchers. In addition to charging 1 copper sols Commission for each number, they also take 10% of the bonus income. "


    "If Minsk County, the capital of blinor, the deep water city of Joshua and ogibwa of NIM were not too far away from Yeliu City, Randall mutual aid vouchers had covered the whole kingdom of Gambis... Even so, mutual aid vouchers also affected millions of people. Your Excellency Randall''s weekly income from selling mutual aid vouchers was at least 800000 copper sols!" At this point, the Marquis Ludwig stretched out his right index finger and stressed: "800000 copper sols per week... At least 3.2 million copper sols per month."


    "According to the profit of 40% of the mutual aid vouchers, viscount Randall can take 800000 copper sols from people''s pockets with pieces of paper every month."


    "What can 800000 copper sol do?"


    Marquis Ludwig stepped forward and said to Marquis golon, "I personally visited the shanty town of brinor and investigated the living conditions of the refugees. A strong migrant worker can earn almost 6 copper sols a day and 216 copper sols a month. Viscount Randall can hire 3700 strong refugees with 800000 copper sols. These people are the care workers needed by the mutual aid club."


    Goron looked at the Marquis Ludwig in surprise for a few seconds and said with admiration: "the palace Minister of the kingdom of Gambis has to deal with the lower class personally... It''s really difficult for you."


    Ludwig West shook his head and said, "all the ruling measures of viscount Randall are related to the lower class. Of course, I can''t hold the airs of an aristocrat... In fact, viscount Randall didn''t give a copper sol, so he asked the refugees to pay their own money to help him feed thousands of mutual aid workers. I''m ashamed of his means and intelligence."


    "Ludwig palace."


    Catherine, the queen mother, asked faintly with a trace of anger in her eyes, "listen to you, mutual aid societies and vouchers are not Viscount Randall''s idea?"


    The Marquis Ludwig pondered for a moment and bowed: "Your Majesty, viscount Randall is brilliant, but after all, he is only 24 years old and has only served as Lord for six years. Don''t you think it''s against common sense that he controls people''s hearts so skillfully? According to the notice of Brinell Cathedral, Randall mutual aid was founded by Reverend Dane. Considering the relationship between Dane and the Pope, I think mutual aid and mutual aid vouchers should be secretly under Clement''s crown Layout. Only priests can understand the mentality of refugees. "


    "You know nothing about victor!" Catherine sneered, turned her head in disdain, the corners of her lips rose slightly, and her eyes were gentle and proud.


    "I can understand the special favor of the high-ranking female Knights towards Viscount Randall." Said the Marquis Ludwig quietly.


    "Well, the topic has deviated."


    Williams stood up and said with a smile, "Ludwig, you just said Victor had a plot. What did he plot?"


    "They had a plot."


    The new Gong Xiang calmly explained: "Sylvia, Clement and Viscount Randall are planning a new system. The purpose is to help Clement secure the throne of the Pope. This system is exquisite and can''t be thought of by the young Viscount Randall. Otherwise, his wisdom is comparable to that of the founder of the silver and white tower, lady Argyle. The biggest beneficiary of this system is the church."


    Williams said unhappily, "Ludwig, do you not believe in Victor''s wisdom or oppose me to implement the tenant system?"


    Marquis Ludwig respectfully said, "Your Highness, I have no objection to your plan for the ''virtual seal'' system. After all, there are too many trainee knights who need to be placed in kite castle... However, we must consider the actual situation of Augustus."


    "When we carefully study Viscount Randall''s tenant system, it is not difficult to find that his ultimate goal is to turn refugees into collar people. Tenant families in Renma Hill enjoy the treatment of collar people. Their children receive enlightenment education in general schools, and then select outstanding people to cultivate them into mercenaries and skilled craftsmen. If they hire soldiers and craftsmen to serve the Lord for 25 years, they can become collar people. Sylvia and Victor paid a heavy price for this. "


    "The treatment of the tenants and the collar people is almost the same. They retain 30% of the harvest and serve four months of labor every year. Victor and Sylvia have lost 30% of their income for nothing. The mercenary is a bottomless hole filled with discontent... Victor has 50000 gold sol every year. He still has to think hard and take money out of the pockets of the refugees. We can see how embarrassed the Randall family is." Marquis Ludwig shook his head and continued, "the combat effectiveness of mercenaries is a joke. If you hit a fish man, you will die and be injured more than 400, which is not as good as our militia."


    Marquis goron raised his eyelids and said calmly: "Our militia are trained according to the standard of elite soldiers. Randall''s mercenaries have received formal training for only two years, which is certainly not as good as the militia that has been trained for more than ten years. As far as I know, Randall''s mercenary Corps has made great progress and has almost reached the level of ordinary vassal soldiers. Of course, the weak Fishman can''t measure the maximum strength of soldiers. However, In the pioneering war, we very much need such a mercenary to assist the forbidden guards in fighting, build defense facilities, roads and bridges, transport materials, patrol and cultivate. "


    "At the same time, I have high hopes for the virtual closure system." The Marquis of Cologne half closed his eyes and stopped talking.


    Ludwig said, "of course, the virtual feudal system is good. It can let our Knights concentrate on military affairs so that they don''t spend all their energy on the manor. The tenant system is the basis of the virtual feudal system, but the prerequisite of the tenant system is that there must be land. At the beginning of the development of the territory, viscount Randall had neither man nor money, but only land. His tenant system came from this."


    "We have money and people, but we lack land for tenants."


    "According to the statistics of the Ministry of the interior, there are more than 900000 refugees in the central and Northern Gambis. I divide these refugees into rural refugees and urban refugees. The total number of rural refugees occupies exploitable land, close to 400000, and the remaining 500000 are urban refugees. Auguste''s refugees now exceed 700000, more than 100000 more than six years ago. I am taking measures to encourage children In another 15 years, the Ministry of the interior predicts that the number of people living in pamphlets will reach more than 1 million, and the scale of the forbidden guards can be tripled! The prerequisite for all this is that rural refugees must make room for the reproduction and development of pamphlets. "


    The Marquis Ludwig paused and said sincerely to the Regent: "Your Highness, there is no need to rush to implement the virtual closure system. We have driven all the rural refugees to the human horse hills, and there are hundreds of thousands of urban refugees. We have mastered the details of the tenant system. When the forbidden guards open up a large area of land in the Southern continent, we can implement the virtual closure system immediately. Otherwise, our finance will be dragged down by the tenant system, and our residents will be disappointed with Augustus."


    Williams leaned back in his chair and breathed out gloomily. Marquis goron broke the silence and said with his jaw: "the palace minister''s opinion is very pertinent."


    "You said Victor had no people, no money, only land... This young Lord had no vassals and no wealth. In only six years, he created the Randall family, with two castles, 120000 people, more than 3000 mercenaries, one million mu of arable land and millions of mu of pasture, with an annual income of 50000 kinsol."


    Roland asked coldly, "who can do it? Sylvia can''t do it, Auguste can''t do it, and no lord can do it. Victor did it... He not only did it, but also created a new system. Do you know how he did it?"


    "In Victor''s eyes, there is no wealth, no land and no one. He regards land, wealth and the people as one, so he distributes land to refugees, wealth to refugees and regards refugees as wealth. This is a bearing and pattern that other lords can''t imagine."


    "His bearing and pattern surpass any lord, any aristocratic scholar, and also surpass the aryagian woman, otherwise he can''t do this!"


    Roland shook his head and sighed, "Alas, he is worthy of being my only student."


    Marquis Ludwig stared at the narcissistic princess. Williams laughed and said, "Roland, don''t you have many students? Why has Victor become your only student?"


    "Why don''t I remember I have many students?" Roland looked around in surprise, raised his chin and said proudly, "everyone wants to be my student, such a beautiful and smart Princess like me. Uncle, have you been cheated?"


    "You are my student." Said the Marquis of Cologne without expression.


    Roland glared at the Marquis of Cologne, suddenly heard a gasp, turned his head and saw that Catherine''s eyes were almost angry.


    "Roland August, you peeked at Victor''s letter to me!"


    Roland quickly waved his hand and denied: "I definitely didn''t peek at Victor''s love letter to you. If you don''t believe it, you can check the dark space of the moonlight wood wardrobe in the bedroom to ensure that there are many copies."


    Catherine gave Roland a hate look, stood up and walked to the door. Before going out, she looked back and said, "I won''t ask Victor any questions in the letter, and he didn''t ask me anything. I can tell you, I won''t hide it. Don''t ask me if I can''t tell you."


    When Catherine''s footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor, Williams leaned over and whispered to Roland, "Victor really didn''t mention yeliucheng in his letter?"


    Marquis goron and Marquis Ludwig raised their ears at the same time, but Roland shook his head. The Regent, the guardian and the palace minister all looked angry.


    Sylvia is so attractive to Victor that Catherine can''t fight her alone.


    "What are you looking at me for?" Roland forced the three men to turn their heads with vicious eyes.


    "Yes." Marquis Ludwig coughed and asked, "Your Highness, can you transcribe Viscount Randall''s letter... And show it to me?"


    "What do you say? Oh, oh, oh... The beauty of thinking."


    In a series of strange laughter, the long Princess of Gambis left the small meeting room with her head held high and stepped on the cat step.


    Williams knocked on the table and said to the Marquis Ludwig: "We don''t have the conditions to implement the tenant system for the time being, but I''m bound to have a mercenary Corps. First, set up a small mercenary corps to accumulate experience and cultivate backbone. In addition, we will do what Victor does. He stores charcoal, and we also store charcoal. He purchases soft silver ore and builds the inner wall of the town. We also get some soft silver ore from the Lords of other kingdoms To reserve. The method must be clever and can''t arouse other people''s ideas. "


    Marquis goron nodded, "I agree."


    "As you wish, your highness." The Marquis Ludwig bowed.


    "As for mutual aid societies and vouchers..." Williams touched the beautiful moustache on his lips and said with a meaningful smile: "clement is now on the fire by Victor... When he and the other two shepherds decide the outcome, we will cooperate with the church to form a mutual aid society."


    "The mutual aid meeting is watertight. It is imperative. It depends on the head of the shepherd."


    Marquis Ludwig shook his head and sighed, "if Victor really came up with the mutual aid association and voucher... I really don''t know whether he is a lord or a priest?"


    The Marquis of Cologne flashed a light in his eyes and said, "our Lord is really powerful."


    Auguste''s three core figures smiled at each other, and everything was silent.
