Cosma Empire

I don't know when five stacks of banknotes appeared on the table, all of which were twenty-yuan banknotes. They didn't look like the brand-new banknotes just taken out of the bank. Some were old, and they were all change. Collecting money has become a bit embarrassing since the Imperial Parliament passed the "Official Crimes Act". In the past, it was just a very common courtesy... Well, it's a little bit unusual. At that time, people The attitude towards power-for-money transactions is not as extreme as it is now, and this behavior is even considered a crime.

You must know that in the past, nobles and officials often gave each other some small things, such as a box of gold coins, or a manor, of course, there may also be one or two slaves whose gender is completely different from the master, these are normal human relations . Aristocrats are also happy to squander their wealth to prove to those around them that they are rich and decent, and there is nothing more dignified than popping a gold coin when tipping.

Including in recent years, this is not a big problem. After the war of aggression launched by the Federation, the whole society is in the process of rebuilding. The merchants bought the power to obtain the qualification to develop the city to ensure that they are in the city. interests will not be harmed. In other words, this is actually a contractual behavior. I give you money, and you protect my life and property. Only in this way can businessmen dare to put a lot of money on a city that will definitely rise!

To some extent, this is a good thing. People's habitual thinking has not been changed due to changes in society and the system. It can even be said that the power-for-money transaction at this time is more like an act of paying taxes to the lord in advance. They are engaged in business and construction on the territory. Of course, they have to distribute some of the money they earn to the lord so that they can continue to operate, and at the same time they can get the protection of the lord, which is normal.

But with the improvement of the social system and all aspects, especially the abolition of the class hierarchy, which represented the feudal society, people began to pay attention to the harm of power-money transactions, and legislation was also made to punish this behavior. This is a change in the collective consciousness of the society. The general public is quick to accept new things in the new era, and they have begun to follow the trend, so it is very difficult to deal with some things that do not follow the trend.

Harry, who has been dealing with the investigation team recently, feels this way. He feels that he did nothing wrong, but he did.

When power reaches a certain level, it will inevitably attract money, just like when money accumulates to a certain amount, it will also attract power. This is a very normal thing. Because only when the two are entangled and attracted to each other, will a qualitative change of something be triggered.

"This is 10,000 yuan..." Du Lin picked up the stack of banknotes and fiddled with them. Although they were all old banknotes, they still made a nice sound as Du Lin fiddled with them, which was better than any other banknotes in the world. Music is even more pleasing to the ear.

The official swallowed, and now he was no longer thirsty, "I don't understand..." Ten thousand yuan is not a small amount of money, but in the eyes of many people, it is a huge sum. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Finance of the Empire in the first half of the year,

According to the minimum salary laws implemented in various parts of the empire, the lowest salary can be 50 yuan a month, and the highest place is close to 60 yuan, which is an average. The 10,000 yuan is the money that a person can save after working for fifteen years without eating or drinking.

Even for this official, his monthly salary plus various miscellaneous subsidies is only 167 yuan. Of course, there will definitely be some other unofficial benefits and income, but it will never exceed 300 yuan. piece.

Du Lin smiled, "Let me explain, maybe you will understand."

"The money is old banknotes without consecutive numbers. They have not been circulated through any bank in the past three months. In other words, the money exists in this empire, but no one knows that the money is now to whom."

"Do you know why many gangsters like to use such old banknotes with no consecutive numbers in their transactions that have not been circulated in a short period of time?" Du Lin asked a certain professional question. Of course, facing this question, the society The service bureau official couldn't do anything but shake his head, he really didn't know. Du Lin threw the money back on the table and stacked it with the other four stacks, "Because the money can avoid tracking by the bank. I'm not sure how the bank tracks these numbers, but I know they There is also a blind spot in the operation, that is, the money has not entered the circulation range in a short period of time."

"In other words, they are legal in anyone's hands, and no one can prove that the holder of the money is breaking any law by holding them. At the same time, when they are re-entered into circulation , and won't cause any trouble."

"For example..." Du Lin looked at the official, and the official also tore the collar, "If they are in your hands, they are also legal, no one can prove that you should not have them, they can't do this One point, then everything will be fine."

The official's breathing was a little short. Two years ago, before the anti-official crime bill was passed, his actual income was very high, which was several times what it is now. But after the anti-duty crime bill was passed, his income dropped sharply So much so that he sold a property to pay off the bank loan. At that time, it was not a great thing to collect some money to do something, but now it is very difficult for him to say, "Mr. .I'm just a person who handles specific affairs, although I have a little power..."

"It's not important!" Du Lin took out a handbag from the drawer under the low table and put the money in it, "You just need to tell me who can make the decision and invite him out to us Just one meal. You'll get to know me, I'm a good talker and a great friend, are we friends now?"

He had packed the money into an unassuming brown paper tote and held out his hand, and the Social Services officer looked at the paper bag with longing eyes. His mind is fighting fiercely. He doesn't want to accept Du Lin's money, because he doesn't know if taking Du Lin's money will bring him more trouble. This is equivalent to handing over a handle to Du Lin. superior. It might just help him date someone today, and maybe other things in the future.

But he was very jealous, and at the same time he knew that Du Lin was not easy to mess with. He had already heard from his friends the story of Durin's stay in Calormen. The status of Calormen in the imperial capital was so special that some ordinary officials of the imperial capital did not dare to behave wildly in it, but Durin did. Not only did he let people hit the Keller Gate, but the next day someone saw the little Mr. Keller who was beaten like a pile of shit, which proved Du Lin's energy and ability. It is a very simple decision not to charge money, but this decision may bring a series of serious consequences. I heard that Du Lin is sometimes very vengeful and stingy.

Du Lin looked at the struggle on his face, and asked with a joking tone, "You are rejecting my friendship!"

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The official from the Social Services Bureau gritted his teeth, squeezed out a smile, and held out his hand again to hold Du Lin tightly, "No, I was thinking about how to thank you generous."

"Generous?" Doolin laughed loudly, and he handed the bag to this guy, "You are right, I am a generous person!"

After seeing off the official, Du Lin shook his head and went back to the living room to sit down. He could actually talk to Magus about this matter, but it was meaningless. If he went to Magus for everything, it meant He is an incompetent man. Everyone's ability is the value of this person in society. When a person's value becomes lower and lower, the "commodities" around him will also become cheaper. Send it into the discount section, or even end up in the trash.

Guaranteeing your own value is the most correct way, and this is a small matter in itself, there is no need to take the high-level route.

The problem of paving in southern cities has been solved, just as Du Lin imagined, as long as the money is spent enough, the mayors in the south are willing to cooperate with Du Lin's business behavior. That can not only provide more jobs for a city, but also add a beautiful color to the city's tax revenue.

Now there are only problems on the side of Irian and the imperial capital. Du Lin believes that the imperial capital will not be a problem in the end. Just as he was thinking about the next series of steps, the phone rang.

This surprised him very much. It was his first visit to this manor. Except for a very small number of people, no one knew that he lived here now. The people who could call here were definitely not ordinary people. He didn't pick up the phone until it rang three times, "This is Figo Burton Manor." This was the name of the manor, and Du Lin didn't intend to change the name.

There was silence in the receiver for about two seconds, and a very pleasant female voice sounded, "Is this Mr. Du Lin?"

"yes!"

The voice became even more melodious, "Hello, Mr. Du Lin, I am Natia from Southern Commercial Bank. I am taking the liberty to call you. I found this number with great difficulty. First, I need to contact You apologize, I may have interrupted your rest, I hope you can forgive me. Also, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to visit you, or invite you to meet?"

The Imperial Central Bank has just finished its move, and now it is the turn of the Southern Commercial Bank.

Du Lin thought about his schedule for the next few days and replied, "I have time tomorrow night!"
