king of the castle

Chapter 408 Financial War

With the design drawings determined by Roger himself, and the full dedication of the puppet master Addison, this small but very exquisite villa can be described as a "miracle" by the standards of the world of Torenzo. . 【】

There are many households on the side of the entire villa facing the sea. In the fashionable language on the earth, it is completely "private beach and sea view house", which is completely different from the small, gloomy and gloomy architectural style popular in the world of Torenzo.All normal people will feel refreshed and happy when they walk into this villa and steal a large area to enjoy the beautiful sea view outside.

In addition to the bright rooms, other facilities in the villa are also very complete, such as air-conditioning, bathrooms with hot and cold water, refrigerators, stoves without firewood, and flush toilets.Of course, these facilities are all driven by magic crystals, relying on the magic circle to meet the user's requirements.Although the name still uses the name of those objects on the earth, and the functions are exactly the same, the principle of its operation is completely different.It's also fortunate that Roger met Addison, a puppet master, otherwise, even if he could come up with so many things, he would not be able to realize them all.

Naturally, such a villa that is very comfortable to live in and can make people feel relaxed and happy is immediately liked by everyone.Sophia was the first to declare that she wanted to occupy a room here, and Bonnie decided to move in after a moment of hesitation.As for that little girl Lisa, it goes without saying that she will follow Roger wherever he goes, and of course she will not stay in the Earl's Mansion in the town.

So Roger took three beauties, big and small, and a few more close servants to live in the villa.The small island where the villa is located has also become his private island.For Roger, who used to live on Earth, this is definitely a life that only billionaires can enjoy. Now he has finally lived the same life, and it can be regarded as not passing through in vain.

Roger stood on the balcony on the second floor, looking at the green woods, the golden sand and the blue sea, he felt somewhat regretful, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "It's a pity that the weather isn't hot enough, otherwise it will bring A girl in a bikini is swimming at the beach, tsk tsk..."

Speaking of this, Roger imagined the scene of several beauties wearing bikinis playing in the beach, and couldn't help but immerse himself in that wonderful imagination, even Bonnie didn't notice when he came behind him.

The female knight was obviously not in a good mood, she frowned and whispered, "Roger, something happened."

"What's the matter?" Luo Jie, who was brought back to reality, sighed secretly. Before the good days passed, there were troubles again, and his good mood was completely ruined.

"The Grand Duchy of Kongtai officially announced that it will cut off trade with us." Speaking of this, Bonnie became furious: "They actually tore up the agreement they signed with us, it's too much!"

"Haha, when they signed the agreement with us, it was for you." Speaking of this, Roger couldn't help teasing the female knight: "It turns out that you embarrass that Montoya in public, it's no wonder they will abide by the agreement !"

"This dishonest scumbag!" Speaking of this, Bonnie became even more angry: "I thought he was a gentleman at first, but I didn't expect him to be a perverted villain!"

"Don't be angry." Roger grabbed Bonnie's slender waist and asked her to sit on his lap, "Why would the Grand Duke of Kongtai cut off trade with us?"

Bonnie was not used to being so intimate with Roger outside, and twisted her waist uneasily when she first sat on Roger's lap.However, seeing that there was no one around, she quickly calmed down and said: "The Grand Duchy of Kongtai announced that no caravan departing from anywhere in Kent County will be allowed to enter their territory. Yes, starting from the Grand Duchy of Kongtai, the destination is Caravans in Kent Town are heavily taxed. This will definitely affect us a lot!"

The Grand Duchy of Kongtai is the most important commercial distribution center in the southern part of the mainland.There are many merchants who start from Kent Town and ship their goods there.Many of the goods traded in Kent Town were also shipped from the Grand Duchy of Comte.The Grand Duchy of Kongtai is a long-established commercial power, and its strength is much stronger than that of the emerging Kent Town.Although the severance of trade between the two parties will also have an impact on the Grand Duchy of Conte, the town of Kent will undoubtedly be hit more seriously. No wonder Bonnie is so anxious.

"I really didn't expect the Grand Duke of Conte to do this." Roger couldn't help but shook his head and said, "At first I thought that the Duke of Bordeaux would be able to manage a territory with such a developed business, at least he wouldn't be too stupid. An idiot like his son!"

What Roger didn't know was that Montoya, the second son of the Duke of Bordeaux, was rejected because he wooed Bonnie, and he said a lot of bad things about Kent Town when he returned.What harmed the dignity of the Grand Duchy of Kongtai, harmed the interests of the Grand Duchy of Kongtai, the other party's lord killed himself inexplicably, etc. Anyway, he said all the bad things he could think of.

On top of that, Montoya has made Kent town worthless.In his mouth, Kent Town has become a remote and desolate rural place with few merchants passing by, no commercial value at all, and no guards. In short, Kent Town has no cooperation value for the Grand Duchy of Comte , on the contrary, it is a place where it is competing for interests with the Grand Duchy.

How could the Duke of Bord think that his own son would provide false information to him for the sake of jealousy?As soon as he heard the news, he quickly issued an order to cut off trade with the town of Kent.In fact, if the town of Kent was not too far away, and there was a behemoth like the Kingdom of Thorne behind it, the Duke of Bordeaux would have declared war on the town of Kent directly, sending troops to completely flatten this small town that dared to compete with the principality.

Of course, the Duke of Bord didn't know how big a mistake he made in doing so.The town of Kent is already the most important commercial center of the Thorne Kingdom, and cutting off trade would cause huge losses to the Grand Duchy of Comte.In particular, the military strength of this small town is frighteningly strong, and it has extremely high mobility. If Roger really gets angry, it is not difficult to wipe out his Grand Duchy directly.

This incident shows a problem, no matter how smart and capable the father is, if he has an idiot son, he is likely to be unlucky.In the words of the earth, this is a veritable "cheat".

It's just that Roger hasn't made up his mind yet, whether to go to war directly against the Grand Duchy of Kongtai, or to start a trade war first.After all, he had only lived a peaceful life for a few days, and he really didn't want to travel all the way to the other side of the mainland to fight with people.So after listening to Bonnie's words, Roger just looked at the calm sea in front of him, with an expression on his face, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing that Roger didn't seem to care too much about this, Bonnie couldn't help being very anxious, she gave him a coquettish look and said, "Did you listen to what I said? The Grand Duchy of Kongtai is too powerful, if they If we cut off trade with us, our loss will be very large. Among other things, even if we have a lot of gold coin certificates issued by the Grand Duchy of Kongtai..."

"Wait, what did you just say?" Hearing this, Roger suddenly came back to his senses, squeezed Bonnie's towering chest with his big hand and said, "What gold coin coupon?"

Bonnie was weakened by Roger's sudden attack, and quickly knocked off his mischievous hands and said: "Gold coin coupons are a kind of parchment with magical imprints issued by the Grand Duchy of Comte, which indicates how many gold coins can be exchanged for. As long as you take the gold coin coupons to the territory of the Grand Duchy of Kongtai, you can smoothly exchange for the same amount of gold coins.

The Grand Duchy of Kongtai has a very good reputation, and this gold coin coupon is as easy to use as real gold coins. Recently, merchants have become more and more fond of using gold coin coupons, and even our entertainment pool has received a lot of them! "

"Hey...has it started to issue banknotes? The Duke of Bordeaux is not a complete idiot." Hearing what Bonnie said, Roger murmured with interest, "But...no one will be so honest, Are you really going to issue as many gold coin coupons as there are gold coins? If the credit of the Grand Duchy of Kongtai, which was established on the basis of commerce, collapses...haha!"

"What are you talking to yourself?" Bonnie asked curiously, "What banknotes, credits, collapsed?"

"Haha, it's a bit complicated to say, I'll tell you slowly tonight!" Roger lifted Bonnie off of him, patted her strong buttocks and said, "Come on, let's go to town together, that What does the gold coin coupon look like, and go visit Master Addison by the way!"

Roger found a stack of gold coin coupons from the Grand Duchy of Comte in the entertainment hub.These gold coupons are made of the best bloodthirsty sharks, soft and not easy to damage, and very convenient to carry.There is a number on each gold coin coupon, divided into several types such as "one hundred", "two hundred", "five hundred", "one thousand" and "five thousand".According to Bonnie, there are also "[-]", "[-]" and "[-]" gold coin coupons, but the Entertainment Center has not received them yet.

Roger was not very interested in the last three types of large-value gold coin coupons. After all, gold coin coupons with larger denominations must be more valued, and it would be more difficult to forge or exchange them.On the contrary, the denominations of "[-]", "[-]", "[-]" and "[-]" are the most numerous, and obviously the small-value gold coupons with the largest circulation are the most interesting to Roger.

"The denomination of one hundred is too small, and the cost of counterfeiting will be high, which is not good." Roger turned over the gold coin coupons and whispered to himself: "Two hundred and five hundred can be forged in large quantities, and one thousand is also suitable. , As for those big denominations... you can also get some for yourself, just treat it as a way to recover the cost of forgery, not bad, very good!"
