Chapter 521: How to spend money

Lu Ye sat on the box of gold and looked at Sophia's dumbfounded expression while holding the gold bricks. He was happy.

Although he was shocked by the sudden wealth and wealth just now, but when he came back to his senses, he had to appreciate the princess's expression.

Sophia was stunned for a few minutes before looking at him blankly: "What... should I do?"

Lu Ye simply lay down on the gold bricks and looked up at the dark roof, as if there was an endless universe with infinite possibilities waiting for him to explore.

"I really don't know. I never thought I would see so much money... I asked you how you would spend it if you found it before, but you didn't think about it seriously. Now you have to think about it seriously."

Sophia brushed her slender fingers over the gold bricks and noticed that there were not only the quality and number on them, but also the double-headed eagle emblem representing the empire.

"What it is used for is one thing, but how to deal with so much gold is also a problem..."

"If these golds recast by the empire want to enter the circulation market, they first need to be resmelted. Otherwise, just this imperial emblem is enough to kill us hundreds of times."

Lu Ye nodded and helped Sophia sort out her thoughts: "Okay, the first problem that needs to be solved is recasting."

"If you want to spend them... let alone what to do, the first step is to exchange them for equivalent currency. The total amount of gold here is twice the treasury reserves of the northern city-states... Such a large amount of gold cannot flow in. market, otherwise the abnormal fluctuations in gold prices will attract countries.”

Lu Ye nodded suddenly. He really didn't think about this problem, but Sophia's ability to think of this shows that her IQ is back online.

"Okay, the second question is exchange."

The princess continued to think: "If you want to exchange them... you have to transport them. Transportation itself is a huge problem... It takes about thirty or forty transport vehicles to transport them at once. Such a large transport team must be mobilized I can't think of any reasonable reason for entering the Death Sandbank."

"The third issue is transportation, you continue."

"After transportation, the vehicle needs to be transferred, and after being transferred, it needs to be stored... Under normal circumstances, it is safest to put it in a certain country's treasury, but we don't want to attract other people's attention..."

After being sorted out by Sophia, Lu Ye's thinking became clearer: "So there are basically two problems. First, we need to form a fleet under appropriate cover to transport it; second, as long as it is transported out, We just need a place that can store, recast, and exchange it. This... basically requires a country to help. "

The two of them looked at each other and sorted out who could help.

Sophia first said: "The northern city-state... let's forget it. Our royal family does not have direct administrative power, and it is not easy to mobilize national financial institutions to intervene, and it is easy for the news to leak... As you have already experienced Yes, there are almost no secrets among the Western Continent royal family. It is almost impossible for us to eat such a large amount of gold reserves alone. "

Lu Ye nodded, and then thought: "Forget it about Saint Ural. I am in the process of rebuilding and am not equipped to deal with this big trouble."

Sophia agreed and continued thinking: "You have always had a good relationship with Donghuang. If they come forward, the problems of storage, smelting, and exchange can be solved. We only need to solve the problem of how to transport it to Dongzhou."

When she said this, Lu Ye thought of Li Shanghao.

If he is willing to help, he will probably be able to digest these treasures.

However, the interior of Donghuang is not monolithic. The East and West are constantly infiltrating and poaching, and there is a risk that news will leak out.

But as long as he hides himself, even if people know that the Donghuang people have obtained the imperial treasure, it has nothing to do with him. And as long as there is no direct evidence, it will be difficult for the countries in the Western Continent to make Donghuang surrender and spit out this wealth based on the ambivalent relationship between the East and the West. But Donghuang also has another problem. If he hands over the treasure, how can he ensure that the other party will not eat it up?

Although she has a good relationship with Huanyu, it is a personal relationship between the two of them, and she cannot yet represent her emperor.

That country was too big for Lu Ye to do business with it on an equal footing. If Donghuang became greedy for the wealth of this incredibly wealthy country, how could he ensure that he would not be cheated?
If it ends up involving force, coercion, or even a fight, it will destroy the good relationship in the early stage, hurt feelings, and turn a good thing into a bad thing.

A good transaction process is not about threats or punishment afterward, but about being able to control the process. Risks can be warned at any time, and problems can be stopped at any time. This is also more conducive to both parties' keeping their promises.

Lu Ye thought of another place: "Mossangbang."

Sophia thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "You are now a national defense contractor of the Mosang Gang. If the Marshall authorities want to eat your things, they will face the harshest blow... maybe It means losing one’s life and ruining the country.”

Lu Ye calculated his local strength: "We plan to recruit 2 mercenaries locally. As long as there is a trading channel to cash in gold, this number can continue to increase. And I can trust the team. They are all the main force of hyenas, enough to protect them." Under this premise, I can use the port and Donghuang to conduct transactions in batches. If they have other ideas, I can stop it at any time. "

Sophia also added some advantages that Lu Ye ignored: "Mossang Gang itself is also a country rich in minerals and has complete smelting facilities. You can complete smelting locally and then trade externally. As long as you control the shipment volume, it will not Someone noticed something unusual."

Lu Ye couldn't help but give Sophia a thumbs up: "Princess, you are really smart and powerful. You solved the problem so quickly! Then I have decided happily to transport this batch of treasures to the east coast of the Central and Southern Continent!"

Moreover, this transfer did not leave the Central and Southern Continent, shortening the distance and avoiding the possibility of accidents to the greatest extent.

Sophia smiled and shook her head, with calm approval in her voice: "What's the use of being smart? I don't have the habit of leaving some incense to all countries in all continents. Even if I can think of it, I don't have the ability to make countries cooperate with me. Doing things is all about fighting back the situation on the battlefield.”

After hearing what she said, Lu Ye realized that he had unknowingly left so many profound marks on this world. For many people, he was already an existence that could not be ignored.

This is probably a true portrayal of how the "demonic seed" will eventually dominate the world:

Those with magical awakenings, whether used in combat or not, will gradually reveal abilities far beyond ordinary people, and step by step will reach the top of the world.

Lu Ye was already at the top of the world at this time.

After figuring out the destination, Sophia suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. She came over to hold Lu Ye's arm and began to fantasize like a girl: "Now that we have solved where to go, let's think about how to cover and how to Use this wealth!"

The footsteps of the two people echoed in the empty corridor, as well as Lu Ye's calm and indifferent voice:
"I've basically thought about it."

"Use part of it for military expenses, continue to attract people from the city-state, the First Federation and Donghuang to expand our investment in Modisha."

"I hope the fighting in the city ends as soon as possible so that I can really use this wealth..."

"I want……"

"Rebuild this capital."
