Black Iron’s Glory

The 417th chapter of Gudiqi Viscount

Claude returned to his residence at eight o'clock in the evening. This is the Admiral's house in the inner city of Port of Kobicus. It is now a temporary official residence of Claude. Sergeant Kester came over. He was also a veteran who was about to retire. He was also one of the two guards who survived the severe injury when Claude was attacked by the Master of the Grey Tower. Now that he has raised his wounds, he is facing retiring. Because of his loyalty and honesty, and his family is no longer alone, Claude is ready to leave him as a patron, that is, the family of the noble family.

Sergeant Kester told Claude that he was going to take a shower to relax: "General, Viscount Goodci came to visit you, he has been waiting for you for nearly an hour."

Viscount Goodic? The name was a bit impressive, but Claude still didn't think about who the nobleman was. Sergeant Kester reminded: "General, Viscount Goodic is the head of the branch of the National Bank..."

It turned out to be him, Crowder immediately thought about it. The Kingdom of Ovilas has established branches of the National Bank in overseas jurisdictions, and carries out commercial and trade transactions, administrative military expenditures, local tax collection, and private savings loans for various overseas direct jurisdictions. It can be said that the National Bank directly under the jurisdiction of the overseas government is the only financial monopoly institution, and all the large expenditures and commercial transactions rely on the National Bank.

However, the National Bank of Nubiansia’s overseas direct jurisdiction did not issue the right to mint coins. The gold, silver and copper coins required were all shipped from the Kingdom. Due to the restrictions imposed by the Kingdom on the amount of large-scale trading currencies under overseas jurisdiction, the overseas direct jurisdiction The scale of commercial transactions cannot be expanded, because even if there is not enough cash to pay in the National Bank, it has a great negative impact on the economic development of overseas direct jurisdiction.

The eight overseas governing branches of the Kingdom have a branch of the National Bank. The original eastbound route of the Dreadnought Fleet is at the port of Patras, where the branch becomes the branch of the National Bank in the mainland of Nubbia, governing the rest of the territory. Branch. Later, Bailucheng opened a new route, and the terminal port became the port of Caubicus, so the branch of the port of Patras also moved to the port of Caubicus, which is mainly for the convenience of transporting coins and transoceanic trade settlement.

When Claude took Tilsim’s direct leadership, he had the idea of ​​playing the National Bank branch here, but unfortunately he could not find the handle of the branch’s supervisor, Count Gudić. On the affidavit of the tying of the loyalty of Hansback, the three governors and the admirals signed the three princes who had all the heads and faces, and some characters and powers signed the name on it, but they could not find this ancient The name of the Viscount Dickey...

Claude can only give up the idea of ​​playing the National Bank. If the Viscount Guditch signed the name, then Claude can also take him as a rebellious one. He can justify that the reserve funds in the bank are prepared for Han. The rebellious military bill of the Grand Prince Spark was confiscated. However, Viscount Goodic did not give him this opportunity, even when he checked the Governor and the Adjudicators, as well as the administrative officials who signed the affidavit, the bank accounts of local people, he also ordered subordinates to cooperate. Otherwise, Claude could not find the huge sum of more than one million gold krona.

But what is the reason for this late Viscount Goodci to come to visit? Claude thought for a moment and told Sergeant Kester: "You bring this Viscount Goodci to the study, let him wait, I will take a shower and see him."

Claude rushed down the body casually, then put on his nightgown, and went to the study. When I entered the door, I saw that the 40-year-old Viscount Goodrich was leaning on the sofa. I didn't know what I was thinking of, and even Claude didn't notice it.

Claude had to cough twice.

The Viscount Goodci returned, and quickly got up and bowed slightly: "General Claude, I am very presumptuous to disturb you so late."

Claude waved his hand: "Nothing, I welcome you, Viscount Goodic. Last time, thank you very much for cooperating with us to check the assets of the traitors in the bank. This has a great military expenditure in our theater. Help. Right, what kind of wine do you drink, blueberry?"

Viscount Goodic was also welcome. He knew that the Admiral’s Mansion was only a temporary residence of Claude. The wine in this study was the original collection of the Admiral. He stood up and looked at the wine cabinet and said, "I personally think that the sky is blue, sweet and sweet, and has a long aftertaste. Once I have had it once, the taste has not been forgotten."

sky blue? Claude thought for a moment, as if to hear people say that this is the best of the blueberry fruit wine, the wine is light blue, crystal clear, looking like a blue sky, it is called sky blue. I did not expect that the arrested admiral actually collected such a good wine, but now it is cheaper to give Claude.

"Well, let's taste the blue sky." Claude took the sky blue from the wine cabinet and took out two crystal cups. After opening the wine seal and pulling out the cork, pour the wine into the cup. Under the bright candlelight, the wine looks like a clear pool of water.

Claude raised the cup and poured it into the import. The taste was really good, with a hint of blueberry fragrance and sweetness. No one spoke, so he slowly finished the wine in the crystal cup with a small mouthful.

“Yes, it’s the best in the blueberry wine.” Claude admired, and poured a cup for himself and the Viscount. But this time Claude stopped drinking, but asked with a cup: "Let's get out of the way, Viscount Goodick, is there anything you have to visit at night?"

"This is the case, General Claude. I want to ask if this thing was made in your battle zone?" Viscount Goodic put down the cup, picked up a black leather bag he brought on the sofa, and took out a few pieces from it. Different denominations come in gold.

"Yes, it was issued in our war zone. Some time ago, immigrants flocked to the scene, and the theater was extremely lacking in direct development and construction funds. There was no way to issue a gold medal as a labor remuneration for immigrants. These generations of gold coins can make immigrants according to denominations, etc. The difference in value from the various businesses in the theater to buy all kinds of daily necessities, and the firm can use these generations of gold to exchange real money from the theater logistics department. No way, now the overseas direct management lacks cash, we asked Amphith The head of the National Bank branch of the state directly under the jurisdiction of the state, he said that the branch can not provide so much gold, silver and copper coins, the theater must be issued only this generation of gold coins."

Claude first explained the process and reasons for the issuance of this generation of gold coins. I was thinking that the issuance of this generation of gold coins also hindered the National Bank. Did this Gudjic Viscount come to the house to ask for sin at night?

"I can only say that it is a genius idea for you to issue this gold medal." The accident that Claude accidentally praised the Viscount General Gudić: "General, you don't know, from the end of the kingdom before the end of last year and the first half of the year The immigration has come to an endless stream, and the large scale has alarmed the entire people directly under the jurisdiction. The Governor and the Admiral even bet on when your war zone will collapse, because in their view, you recruited so many immigrants in the past and simply asked for it. According to the military expenditure in the theater, you can't place so many immigrants at all...

I have also calculated an account, and more than two million immigrants have to spend about three million kronor on them to get resettlement. And the total value of the currency in the Kingdom that is directly under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom is so much. I can't think of how this problem will be solved in your theater. As a result, you let a lot of people down, but I was taken aback.

What surprised me the most is that you have issued this generation of gold coins, which perfectly solves the problem of funds that are lacking in resettlement. I studied the next generation of gold coins and thought that it could play a role in replacing gold and silver coins in many cases. Just how much to issue requires careful estimation and possessing enough gold and silver to make a mortgage. In the current situation, perhaps the theater can promote this generation of gold coins to solve the economic development dilemma caused by the lack of cash in the entire overseas direct jurisdiction..."

Crowder glimpsed, Viscount Goodrich said that the meaning of these words is clearly shown to the theater. This honorary viscount is really a clear understanding of the people. It is clear that in the case of severing contact with the kingdom of the kingdom, the theater has been directly under the jurisdiction of the overseas jurisdiction. Anything that concerns the future of overseas direct management can't bypass the theater, even the National Bank.

"What do you mean, the National Bank is willing to issue this generation of gold for the theater?" Crowder asked with a smile.

Viscount Goodic shook his head: "I am sorry, the branch of the National Bank in overseas jurisdiction does not have this authority. However, I think the theater can organize the bank to issue this generation of gold coins. For example, gold and silver coins can be one to two according to the real thing. Issuance, a gold krona can issue two gold coins of the same value, and the copper coins can be replaced by a gold foil, which is more convenient."

“Can the war zone organize a bank?” Claude asked with amazement. He really didn’t think about it. In the kingdom of Ovilas, in addition to the National Bank, other banks can be opened.

Viscount Goodic nodded: "Of course, as long as you don't coincide with the main business of the National Bank, you can bid for a new bank. There are four private banks in Wangdu, they handle foreign exchange, commercial loans, mortgage pawn. And to absorb investment and other business, even the royal family members have funds invested in it.

The National Bank is a branch of the National Bank that is directly under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom. The main business is the commercial settlement of transoceanic trade between the two continents. Now that the overseas direct administration has cut off the trade with the kingdom, it can be said that the National Bank branch has lost its main business. Before the two princes of the kingdom were determined to win the game, the branch was no longer able to obtain the support of the local head office and transport the coins. It has lost its support for the economic development of the overseas direct jurisdiction.

In addition, the local head office of the Kingdom has great authority restrictions on overseas branches, which makes it impossible for branches to provide effective economic and financial support for the future development of the theater. Under such circumstances, I personally believe that the theater should organize its own banks so that the use of funds for each penny can achieve the highest efficiency, so as to bring more help to the economic development of the theater and the municipality.... .."

Crowder lifted the cup in his hand to the mouth and slowly sipped a drink. After dropping the cup, Claude stared at the viscount Gudić and asked, "I have a question, Viscount Guditch, I think. I know that as the head of the National Bank’s branch office in overseas jurisdiction, what purpose do you propose for the war zone to organize your own bank? I hope that you can openly announce the answer..."

The viscount of Guditch smiled bitterly. He killed all the liquor in the cup: "General Claude, dissatisfied with what you said, if you know why I came to be a branch supervisor overseas, then you may understand me. Why do you recommend that the theater organize its own bank. To be honest, I have been the head of the overseas branch of the branch for 18 years. If there is no accident, I may have been the head of the branch until retirement.

When I was 18 years old, I graduated from Wangdu National First Middle School with the first place in the liberal arts. I successfully became a civilian employee of Wangdu National Bank. In the next eight years, I have been working diligently, I dare not slack off, and my position has been improved step by step, becoming the deputy director of Wangdu’s youngest branch. At that time, I thought that my life was perfect, and my hard work and dedication were worthy of everything I got.

The next step is my unfortunate start. As the deputy director of the branch, I have the authority to monitor the abnormal flow of bank funds. Sometimes I regret that I am so obsessed with it. I found some unreasonable signs in the series of funds flowed by the National Bank on the construction of public facilities in Wangdu. Then I started the investigation. This is my most stupid place. I feel that this is a good opportunity to make a difference. I didn’t tell anyone, but hired an investigator privately...

As a result, I succeeded. I opened the veil of corruption in the local public facilities of Wangdu. There are eight people in the National Bank who are implicated in this case. The positions are higher than me because of this. There were more than 30 local officials arrested in the case. The first king of Sterling 10 was severely punished, and I saved the capital loss of up to one million gold krona for the kingdom and was honored as the honorary viscount of the kingdom.

I thought that I could start to make a fortune from then on. I didn't expect to receive an appointment to head the branch of the Nubiansia overseas governor two months later. I remember that the president of the head office also told me very sincerely that I am a rising star of the National Bank. Let me go to the overseas branch to be the head of the branch to train me and train me. So I am very happy to come to the office,

When I arrived here, I discovered that the authority of my branch supervisor was not as big as the head of a local town branch, and it was purely a display. Then I was the head of the branch for 18 years..."

Claude can only smile and shake his head. To be honest, this Viscount Goodci is very lucky. The corruption case involving up to one million gold krona funds is obviously not fixed by the eight senior officials of the National Bank, and may also involve a higher level. These eight senior officials are only being introduced as scapegoats. Cut off the connection with the top level above.

If it wasn't for Sterling X to give a report to the honourable Viscount of Guditch, who reported this corruption case, the branch supervisor might have died. That is, the honorary title has preserved his life. In the kingdom, murdering a civilian or even a national, the instigator behind the murderer may still be able to escape.

But murdering a nobleman would become a major case in the kingdom. Just like a horse cell, all the nobles would put pressure on the case to find out the truth and severely punish all suspects implicated. Contrary to the heart, this is that all nobles are worried that they will become the next murderer, so they will not let go of any murderer who dares to murder the nobility.

It may be based on this consideration that the top officials of the National Bank of China have exiled the Viscount Goodrich to the branch of the overseas direct management to be the head of the branch, and they have not seen it as a net. As Viscount Goody himself said, it is impossible for him to return to the king without retiring.

"So I don't want to live this life in the position of the head of this branch, and I don't want the knowledge I have learned to be useless. I am only 45 years old this year, and I have 15 years to retire. I hope I can find a place where I can play my talents, and I want to retaliate against the National Bank. Now it is a good opportunity for me and the theater. I use the chaotic period of the kingdom’s two kings to compete and establish a sufficient overseas governor. Banks that rival the National Bank...” Viscount Goodic said.

Claude poured the remaining wine in the bottle evenly into two crystal cups: "Victor Guditch, I think, we will have a lunch together at noon tomorrow. I will introduce General Scree to you. Maybe he is also interested in organizing a bank..."
