Chapter 221 The enterprising Mossi people

People are pushed to their limits. The Mossi people who decided to borrow money to save the country quickly developed unparalleled potential.

Many of the country's great nobles, including the royal family, stepped out to sell bonds for the principality. The first people to be deceived are naturally relatives and friends abroad.

It is also a last resort to catch one's own family in a trap. There is no way, the circle of the great nobles is only that big.

Marriage between several major domestic families is simply impossible, and cross-border marriage has become inevitable.

The established targets are all our own people, so naturally the sales targets can only be our own people. Regarding the issue of future troubles, let’s save the family business first!

In any case, the promised high interest is a real money payment, and it is not just a matter of taking advantage.

The Principality of Moxi has no idea of ​​defaulting on its debts now, and has even made a repayment plan. After the war ended, the principality levied a "repayment tax", with all citizens paying the bill.

Although the specific details have not been released, the sincerity is still full. These bonds would be honored as long as the Principality of Moxi existed after the war.

If something unexpected happened and the principality was destroyed, that would be another story.

Only with high risks can there be high returns. If you want to obtain excess returns, you must bear the risk of losing all your money.

In a sense, Hudson also contributed to this special financing of the Mossi people.

The just-concluded "Bethel Bear Tribe Royal Court Victory" has greatly increased the market's confidence. Coupled with the strong support of the Human Alliance, everyone is still very optimistic about the Principality of Moxi.

Hudson didn't know what the major international forces were. Anyway, many of the nobles in the expeditionary force had already jumped into the pit.

Looking at Raquel who was selling bonds to him, Hudson's face darkened to the core. He gave me all the ideas, but he actually wanted to trick him.

However, this also proves from the side that the Mossi people are reliable this time and have kept their strategy of borrowing money to save the country highly confidential.

"Viscount Raquel, you know that I have always had peace of mind since I took office.

Although I received a lot of spoils, my daily expenses have always been very large and I have very little savings.

However, I am still willing to contribute to your country's great fundraising cause. Well, I subscribe to the bonds issued by your country for 10,000 gold coins. "

Hudson said expressionlessly.

Deep down in his heart, he had made up his mind to get back a hundred times what he had paid now.

If it weren't for political needs, he wouldn't even have come up with these ten thousand gold coins. As for his men being deceived, Hudson selectively pretended not to see it.

There is no way around it. A wealthy noble officer's sense of risking his life on the battlefield will inevitably decline.

This is a common worry for almost all bosses. On the one hand, he wants to use money to stimulate his younger brothers to work hard, but on the other hand, he is worried that his younger brothers will be too rich and lose their sense of progress.

In the continent of Aslant, there is more to worry about. The younger brothers have a lot of money, which will be converted into military strength after returning home.

This is definitely not a good thing for the boss. Especially for Hudson, who wanted to recover people and work hard, it was a disaster.

They have everything and live a happy life by themselves. Why do you have to work so hard for him?

The Mossi people can take the money out of the pockets of their younger brothers, and Hudson is also happy to see it happen. This means two headaches are eliminated at the same time.

There is no need to worry about the younger brothers becoming bigger after the war and breaking away from the control of the boss; they also avoid these guys being passive and sabotaging their work.

Spending a lot of money to buy the bonds of the Mossi people means that you are bound to the fate of the Principality of Mossi. In the ensuing battle, Hudson basically did not have to worry about the morale of the army.

It can only be said that the benefits are very attractive. If he had not known in advance that there was a trap, Hudson would not have been able to help but fall for it.

The annual interest rate of 30% and the government's credibility endorsement have long exceeded normal loans among nobles.

It's all caused by the social environment. Most of the noble lords were governed by serfs, and the number of free people was extremely rare. From the source, it inhibited the booming development of loan sharking.

A small amount of profit is not worth giving up the glory of a noble to engage in such a shady business.

Even if one wanted to make money from freedmen, it would be to sell the right to lend money to businessmen rather than to do it himself.

Defaults on loans in the aristocratic world rarely occur. It is an almost zero-risk transaction, and due to personal relationships, the interest on loans is usually not too high.

The Moxi people even designed the repayment plan clearly this time, and they are full of sincerity no matter how you look at it. It is not surprising that nobles who have never suffered losses due to breach of contract would fall victim to this.

After all, they only knew that the Principality of Moxi was sincere in repaying the money, but they did not know how much money they had borrowed.

Perhaps the Mossi people are still restrained and do not blindly print bonds, but Hudson is sure that once this kind of thing sets a precedent, it will not be controlled at all in the future.

War is the biggest gold-eating beast, and no one knows how much money will be spent next. When there is no money in the pocket, everyone tries to save money and cut the budget in various ways.

If there is money in the treasury, many unnecessary expenses will no longer be suppressed.

Not to mention other things, the expenditure on the purchase of weapons and equipment alone will increase several times or even more than ten times.

If you don’t have enough food and grass, buy it!

If you don’t have enough armor, buy it!

If you don’t have enough war horses, buy them!

The magic scroll is easy to use, buy it!

The magic crossbow is very powerful, buy it!

Magic crystal cannon is suitable for defending the city, buy it!

It's all about winning the war, spending a little money is nothing.

The ultimate outcome of "buy, buy, buy..." must be a rapid expansion of financial expenses.

If you’ve exhausted your budget, keep borrowing. The issue of repayment is something in the future.

Perhaps by the time it realizes the pressure of repayment, the Principality of Moxi has already embarked on the road of no return of borrowing new and repaying old.

What determines the final outcome is not everyone's willpower, but how long this war will last.

The war lasted only a short time, and with the wealth of the Moxi Principality, it would not be difficult to pay off the debts in the future.

But if it drags on for three to five years, it's not a matter of repaying the money, but when the debt hole will burst.

Things haven't happened yet, so of course Hudson wouldn't say anything that would bring disgrace to the scenery.

As a member of the vested interests, not only cannot he expose it, but he must also cooperate with the Mossi people to sell the bonds.

It's too risky to leave the platform in person, just make a small purchase and show off. In the event of a debt thunderstorm, he will also be a "victim".

Watching Hudson perform, Viscount Raquel was heartbroken. A man who can even sell his military achievements has the nerve to say that he has nothing to lose.

Although it is not known exactly how much money Hudson made, the hundreds of thousands of gold coins divided among the spoils are clearly stated.

The "big expense" made him speechless. All the expenses of the expeditionary force were paid by the Principality of Moxi.

As the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, all of Hudson's expenses came from the public account, and he had no chance to spend money.

"Your Excellency, if you don't have money at hand, you can actually buy it in other ways.

The bounty from the last war could not be paid out as scheduled due to the war.

If your lordship wishes, we can convert it directly into war bonds. "

Raquel suggested bravely.

Selling bonds to Hudson was not essentially about getting money out of his pocket, but more about political propaganda.

It is no secret that the wealth that the Ursine Tribe tried so hard to plunder fell into the hands of the expeditionary force.

As long as Hudson is willing to take the lead in buying bonds, the sales below will be much smoother, far easier than them door-to-door sales.

Raising military expenditures is second, and the key is to deeply bind the expeditionary force. If everyone in the expeditionary force bought their war bonds, how could they not go to relieve the siege of Da Pest?

In order to achieve strategic goals, it is necessary to deal with Hudson. If the deception fails, then throw real money at him.

"No problem, I will use all the bounty money to subscribe for your country's war bonds and do my part for this just war.

I hope that after your country obtains sufficient war funds, it will purchase a batch of war horses and ordnance as soon as possible to supplement the frontline troops. "

Hudson said proudly.

The bounty was not paid out as scheduled. In addition to the war, the bigger reason was that the Principality of Moxi had no money.

If the financial problem cannot be solved, the bounty will never be realized. Now converted into war bonds, it is nothing more than turning dead assets into high-risk assets.

There is still a possibility of cashing out high-risk assets. If the Mossi people perform well, they may be able to find an easy target to take over.

Compared with these illusory wealth, Hudson valued weapons and equipment that could achieve immediate results and enhance the strength of the troops.

Since winning the "Bethel Bear Tribe Royal Court Victory", Hudson has successively collected another three thousand defeated troops.

It is estimated that after these guys ran away, they found that the life of wandering was not easy, and after seeing the opportunity to make meritorious service, they chose to return to the expeditionary force camp.

There is no shame in hugging someone's thigh, they are all adults, so of course Hudson will not be serious about these issues.

Relying on the gathered defeated troops, plus officers drawn from several other legions, and three thousand young men drawn from the city defense regiment, the Fourth Army was quickly established.

The composition of the defeated army was complex, and the combat effectiveness of the four-nation coalition forces was naturally hopeless for a while.

If you can't be the main force, then you can be the auxiliary force. Mr. Hudson, who is used to big scenes, doesn't mind having too many troops now.

Compared to the orc royal family, the physical strength of human soldiers is much inferior. Even if it is the main force against the main force, when the strength of both sides is equal, the human army will still suffer heavy losses.

If you want to make up for this gap, you can only rely on weapons and equipment. As the overlord of the continent, the human race is now definitely the leader in terms of civilization development.

It's rare that mainland countries are willing to relax restrictions. If they don't take the opportunity to buy a batch of high-end goods and want to get them after the war, it won't just be a matter of money.

In order to obtain more and more advanced equipment and to speak more forcefully after the war, it is imperative to continue to expand the army.

As for the issue of soldiers, Hudson has already sent an official document to the kingdom. They had just won a battle, and the country had to consider his opinion as a frontline general.

Even if no reinforcements are sent, the battle damage still has to be compensated.

Replenish some at home, and then look for opportunities to obtain some from the Principality of Moxi. It is only a matter of time before the expeditionary force is restored.

With military success and an army of hundreds of thousands, it is an important force no matter where it is.

Lutetia, Charles III, who successfully led the Human Alliance meeting, has been enjoying great glory recently.

But as time went by, he finally got tired of the endless wrangling within the alliance.

They all decided to use the orcs to scare the monkeys, but as a result, they were stuck again on the issue of troop distribution among the countries.

From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on those congressmen who were always willing to pay for every penny they spent. Everyone only focuses on their own small interests and has no idea of ​​the overall situation.

As the overlord of the continent, the territory occupied by the human race is actually only one-third of the continent.

Being able to suppress a group of alien races is because the land area occupied by the human race is more fertile, while the areas occupied by the alien races are mostly mountains, grasslands, deserts, deserts, ice and snow worlds...

This advantage is based on the fact that the alien races are fighting on their own. Once all races unite, it will be the human race that has to worry.

If you want to eliminate the danger once and for all, the best way is to suppress the strongest races among the alien races.

In particular, several races that have been world hegemons are the targets that need to be targeted.

After solving these hidden dangers, the remaining small races will be nothing.

Only by stabilizing the internal situation can we hope to survive the next hundred thousand years of calamity smoothly.

"Your Majesty, the Mossi people have been very active recently and have been selling war bonds to major nobles.

With the ultra-high interest rates, many nobles in the kingdom have made large subscriptions.

The exact number is unknown, but there are indications that they sold millions of war bonds throughout the kingdom.

With this money, they continue to scan the market for goods. The prices of all war-related materials have increased to varying degrees. "

Prime Minister Bergson said with a smile.

It can be seen that in the "sell sell sell" and "buy buy buy" of the Mossi people, he has made no less profit.

To be precise, as long as the war bonds can be repaid normally, all the great nobles will be the beneficiaries.

You have to do things to collect money. A huge purchase order is not just a simple purchase, but also an invisible public relations event.

The reason for bringing the matter up now is because Bergson knew that his king wanted all countries to send troops as soon as possible.

As for sitting on a mountain and watching the fight between tigers and taking the opportunity to weaken the strength of the three northern powers, Charles III did not bother to do it.

Everything stems from strength. As the strongest country in the continent, the Frankish Kingdom has sufficient advantages over the pursuers behind it.

In terms of population, politics, economy, military, and culture, it was an all-round transcendence.

The strength of one family alone is stronger than that of the three northern powers combined.

In comparison, the Alpha Kingdom is a partial student. Only its military strength has been trained by the orcs, and it can rank among the top three kingdoms.

As for other aspects of strength, there is no way to look at it. A country that fights orcs every now and then has no time to be distracted.

"Ha ha……"

"I have also heard about the Mossi people's generosity in the palace. Their war bonds were also sold to the royal family, but considering the political impact, the royal family did not buy much.

The orcs really made them anxious this time. They even thought of repaying the tax, and even the nobles in their country did not object.

This can be considered a good thing. Since the Moxi people are so active, we will give them some convenience.

Let them buy whatever they want to buy! "

Similar scenes are constantly happening in many human countries. The dignitaries of various countries who have received the benefits strongly support the Moxi people's buying and selling actions.

Even when the Human Alliance provided material assistance to the major warring countries in the north, the Principality of Moxi was confused and ranked first.

It is definitely a spontaneous act by the MPs. As soon as the issue came up at the Human Alliance meeting, it was passed with a high vote, and no public relations time was left at all.

The apparent reason is that the situation in the Principality of Moxi is the most dangerous and it urgently needs help from the Human Alliance. As for the real reason behind it, there is no need to delve into it in detail.
