Chapter 553 Golden Puer is not omnipotent, without Golden Puer is absolutely impossible

When Timmy saw Teresia, he was still muttering: "Why did your majesty choose the red dragon as an ally? Those guys are not only breeders but also as rude and irritable as the black dragon. If you can make less trouble, you should call Kaim to bless you. "

Teresia rubbed Timmy's pink hair and comforted: "The red dragon chose me instead of others, you silver dragons should be more considerate. And they are directly involved in the battle, compared to your silver dragons The dragon just..."

Jing Shi next to him turned his head in embarrassment, and Timmy also smirked to cover up his embarrassment.

Although the silver dragon is the friendliest to human beings, the silver dragon has always been a penny-pincher.Because they got into the eyes of money, there were not many who could fight. Compared with the red dragon who directly sent troops to defend the queen and participated in the battle, his sincerity was much worse.

Timmy cheered up, and said triumphantly: "I came today to prove to His Majesty that our Silver Dragon has 120 points of sincerity!"

Teresia was a little surprised: "Didn't you come here for Li Qi?"

Timmy said awe-inspiringly: "Well... I do have a very close cooperation with Li Qi, but now he dares to alienate the Queen, how can I get along with him?"

Watched quietly by Teresia, Timmy scratched his head and said: "Well, I actually don't know what happened between you, I'm innocent. But my father and the family insisted that I keep a distance from him, otherwise I would Confiscate my small treasury... er, freeze my personal account, I can't help it."

Timmy whispered in a low voice: "Let's not talk about him, Your Majesty, we are here to give you golden bushels."

Teresia maintained an elegant smile, but she didn't care much in her heart.When did you silver dragons become so generous?And even if you really send money to show your sincerity, how much can you give?
For the two major events of the reconstruction of the imperial capital and the new formation of the legion, the total cost is hundreds of millions of gold bushels. Fortunately, there is a joint communication network with an annual income of tens of millions. Her uncle, the Prime Minister, was burning fat at a palpable rate.

Even if you send a few million gold bushels, it is still a drop in the bucket.

"Your Majesty, I can't solve any problems even if I hand over all my belongings," Timmy said, "But we, Yinlong, have an idea, which should relieve Your Majesty's financial troubles."

"Issuing government bonds?"

After hearing Timmy's idea, Teresia frowned: "It's just borrowing money, isn't this what nobles often do? But what can I mortgage? Tax collection rights? Forest mining rights? No, no, this is the way to go The empire is in chaos."

"No, no mortgage is required," Timmy said with a smile, "Your Majesty and the empire are guarantees in themselves."

Timmy came up with a plan. Looking at the complicated provisions, he knew that the Dragon Clan and the Commercial Temple worked together. Timmy really represented the Silver Dragon Clan and had nothing to do with Li Qi.

According to the plan, the empire will set up corresponding departments to issue imperial bonds, and various chambers of commerce of the Silver Dragon Clan and closely related commercial temples will jointly fund and underwrite the bonds.Issue [-] million gold bushes in advance for a period of three years with an interest rate of [-]%.Ten gold bushels per bond, bearer, freely tradable, issued to all.

Teresia saw two problems at a glance. First, she did not believe that such a large amount of money could be raised from the people.

The Dawn War lasted for nearly two years, and she tried her best, even at the expense of selling her image to show her face on the Mirage, and managed to raise enough funds. The total amount did not exceed 5000 million gold bushels.Print a batch of bonds now, without any real property collateral, and you can get [-] million gold bushels! ?

Timmy said old-fashionedly: "Your Majesty, the folks have money, as long as everyone is willing to spend it, you can have as much as you want. Isn't the joint communication network able to earn tens of millions of gold bushels a year?"

Teresia was startled, indeed, folks are rich.

Meddy and Gordon just reported to her yesterday that a billboard management decree for the communication network has been drafted, which strictly separates the advertising area for merchants, the announcement area for empires and government departments, and the private news area, increasing the speed of announcements in the advertising area. It is estimated that the annual income will double.

At that time, she thought that the two of them were drawing big cakes for her. Now that she thinks about it carefully, if the news in the advertising area can be kept longer technically, and it is easy to find by category, then the merchant must be willing to pay more for the release fee. , income will naturally rise.

Businessmen can invest tens of millions of gold bushels a year just to publish advertisements. How can the folks have no money?It just depends on whether the rich are willing to spend it.

"There are a lot of rich people, but gold bulls themselves can't produce gold bulls. There are commercial temples or recently built banks, and there are storage fees, so many people choose to borrow them to earn interest."

"But lending to others is very risky. Even with the witness of the Styx oath, you often lose your money. But if you lend it to His Majesty... no, strictly speaking, it is an empire, so you don't have so much to worry about. Although the interest is less, But it is very stable, and it can be traded as a general debt, so I am not afraid that I will not be able to get rid of it."

"What the empire has to do is to prepare 2000 million gold bushels to deal with the advance payment at any time and pay the interest in installments. In this way, the right to use [-] million gold bushels will be in the hands of the empire. Everyone It's a win-win."

Teresia was suddenly moved. With this money, the progress of the reorganization of the legion would be greatly accelerated, and the various projects of the initial construction of the empire would also have funding guarantees.

However, she couldn't ignore the second problem, that is, where would the principal come from after three years?

"Your Majesty, three years is not enough time for you to establish a strong tax system?"

Timmy scolded Fang Qiu, as if he had become the finance minister of the empire: "Surely the empire will not only rely on the joint communication network for food? In addition to communication towers, the empire allows magicians to freely build magic towers, but they must also carry out necessary management , which requires a magic tower tax."

"Your Majesty allows magicians and priests to establish schools and teach apprentices. This must also be supervised, and of course taxes must be collected."

"Your Majesty also allows the free establishment of magic workshops to sell all kinds of artifacts and magic tools. But these behaviors must be brought under the management of the empire to prevent evil gods from taking the opportunity to make trouble, or being used by evil people to do bad things. Then the workshop It is only natural that businesses and shops also have to collect taxes.”

"In addition, shouldn't the transmission service of the Commercial Temple be strictly supervised? It also has to be taxed. Even our Dragon Clan and the various services provided by the Commercial Temple, His Majesty can consider taxation. Without a stable empire, there will be no stable market. Well."

"Also, the kings, dukes and even barons under the empire, according to the usual practice, shouldn't they pay the castle tax and shield tax to the higher-level lords?"

She said proudly: "I knew this as early as last year. As long as these taxes are raised, the empire will have a stable income of hundreds of millions every year, right?"

last year……

Teresia thought for a while, then smiled wryly, "It was Li Qi who told you, right?"

Timmy was stunned, and quickly declared solemnly: "He just said a general idea, and the specifics are all my own thoughts!"

He asked again: "As an empire, shouldn't this be the way it should be? Just like a kingdom, don't you even collect the minimum tax?"

A feeling of being pushed forward by some kind of force that transcended time and space, and that she had just walked to the present step by step according to the preset pace came to Teresia's heart, making her feel a little dazed.

No, I chose to get to where I am today, not as their puppet.

Teresia didn't want to think about it, and pressed this feeling deep in her heart. She sighed quietly: "It seems that I have to change the finance minister."

Then he said: "Even if the empire has a lot of taxes, it must also spread out various expenditures at the same time. How can it pay back so much money all at once?"

Timmy spread his hands: "Then issue new national bonds, no need to repay the principal, just continue to pay interest."

It can still be like this! ?
Teresia felt unbelievable at first, but then she thought about it again, as long as the empire remained stable and the borrower could cash out the bonds in the market at any time, then indeed as long as the interest was paid, the principal could continue to be held.

"I... have to think about it."

This kind of operation has gone beyond Theresia's old concept, and borrowing money to live is not safe anyway.It's not that her father never borrowed money back then. The majestic king humbled himself in front of a little goblin, and the crown was not enough as collateral, and he added several royal estates. That scene deeply stimulated her and Catherine.

But the current way of borrowing money is completely different from directly borrowing money from the Commercial Temple or the Dragon Clan.The first is to borrow money from countless people, and the debt can be freely traded.It seems feasible to not have to take anything as collateral, just to ensure that the principal can be repaid at any time.

Of course, many details have not been figured out yet, but Teresia decided to discuss this matter with her officials.If the risk were not too great, she was inclined to issue this bond as soon as possible, and raise a hundred million gold bushes.

With 1000 million gold bushels, the rule of the empire can be put on the right track as soon as possible, and the legion can be established as soon as possible.Moreover, if 1 million gold bushels are used to set up [-] tax officials, tens of millions of gold bushels can be recovered in a year.

Of course, to ensure that the tax officials are impartial and to supervise them through various channels, especially the communication network, including other officials, you have to do it yourself.Can't run at full capacity like that time, a little more attention to information can always do it.

Teresia was engrossed in her thoughts for a moment, and Timmy yelled several times before she realized it. She smiled and said, "Aren't you more willing to do business and sell things before? Why are you interested in these things now, and you have become a silver dragon?" represent?"

"This is also a business." Timmy's mind flashed the "financial business" that Li Qi casually mentioned when he was teaching her, and said with a sweet smile: "This is the business of using golden bushes to produce golden bushes." .”

………………

"Uncle, don't be nervous. What's the point of collecting taxes? When we decided to integrate into the world, weren't we mentally prepared to face this situation?"

There are countless books, recording chips, and crystal balls floating in the study room. Hathaway's black hair is flowing like a mermaid, and she is talking to her uncle Gordon at the same time.

"Making this empire stronger and devouring the nobles who divided up the land, population, golden purles and various powers is the direction we are working hard for. Isn't the joint communication network the best proof? Just one Billboards, you can receive tens of millions of gold bushels, there are no nobles exploiting layer upon layer, no one has the right to set up cards to block, how good can other things be like this in the future?"

"I will explain it to everyone at the next meeting. I also believe that many people will not just focus on the tax, but fail to see the booming business opportunities."

"Whether Teresia borrows money or collects taxes, she will eventually spend it. The Armed Legion needs money, and the construction of various imperial projects requires money. This is a good opportunity for everyone to expand their business."

"Let's talk about her legion reconstruction plan. Didn't I sell her the plan to use the floating fleet to form the Imperial Air Force? She spread her hands and rolled her eyes at the time, saying that she had no money. Now she has money, and she is facing Romulus and the mad king. Will she be unmoved by the threat?"

"Our Ted family ourselves? There is no need to get involved for the time being. I have more important things. Why should we care about the little gold bull? We just need to hold on to our floating technology."

"Yes uncle, you must maintain a high-spirited attitude in front of her and wholeheartedly seek the interests of the empire. This is the character Her Majesty admires most."

After talking with her uncle, Hathaway continued to check the information. After a long time, she said excitedly: "So that's it! It seems that I have to organize a secret expedition."

She summoned Ta Ling: "Misia, calculate whether we have enough resources on hand."

An ethereal voice echoed in the room: "In terms of personnel, I don't know the specific difficulty, but ten legendary and one hundred hero peak professionals also stipulate specific occupations and specialties, which should not be easy. And a The army of puppets, only counting materials, each unit price is around 12 gold bushels, 1 is 12 billion gold bushels."

"The bigger problem is that the Mirage airship you plan to build not only needs to have the capabilities of ordinary airships, but also needs to be able to directly pass through the barriers of the main plane and the planes of wind and fire elements. Navigating in the void is beyond the current level of technology."

"My suggestion is to find a demigod to help..."

Hathaway snorted coldly: "That's impossible. When I really have a discovery, can it still be mine? Although I can make some arrangements to get rid of the demigod, I don't care about the risk of losing the dominant power even if it is only a little bit." Not willing to take the risk."

Ta Ling pointed out the key point: "More importantly, Miss is unwilling to play the role of being inferior to others, even if it is acting."

Hathaway curled her lips: "Don't mock me, just list all the difficulties that existing technologies cannot solve."

A list was projected in mid-air. Looking at the densely packed items on the list, Hathaway stroked her forehead and moaned: "Compared to our predecessors in the Magic Empire era, we are really ignorant kobolds."

"There is another solution, and that is to promote the lady to a demigod," Ta Ling put forward a pertinent suggestion.

Hathaway shook her head: "I have the inheritance of Ms. Ye's divine power and the bloodline of the Goddess of Magic. I haven't found a way to integrate these two aspects. It is very difficult to be promoted to a demigod. And even if I am promoted to a demigod, I will The world is very dangerous, I have to focus on self-protection first, where can I find the energy to do this.”

Taling went on to say: "If we start based on the existing conditions, the magicians and magicians of the family will not be able to solve so many technical problems, and can only rely on the power of all magicians. Judging from the current world law, only Jinpuer , Hundreds of millions of gold bushels can gather the corresponding talents, and then spend more gold bushels to research and manufacture Mirage.”

Hathaway sighed: "I still have to cover up..."

She said helplessly: "It seems that there is no way to maintain a high moral character in front of Theresia. We have to make money in the empire, make a lot of money, and at the same time develop the necessary technology and gather the necessary manpower."
