The Black Duke of the Pirate

After a while, Dawn looked at the brightly lit hall. There was only one person in the hall and it seemed extremely deserted at this time.

"Master Reinhardt, Master Barron has arrived." At this time, a guard walked into the hall and bowed to Dawn.

Dawn gave a slight hum, and then the guard retreated. Holt Barron looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze for a moment, and finally bowed to the ground: "Barron pays homage to... Lord Reinhardt."

In the middle of speaking, he paused slightly and seemed to be very unaccustomed to it. However, as a smart nobleman, Barron was naturally able to quickly review the current situation. If he wanted to save his life, it would not matter if he kowtowed to him three times.

"Barron, why is it like this?" Dawn turned around and sighed slightly, "You and I are old friends, and I will bother you with many things in the palace in the future."

With the help of Dawn, Barron stood up slightly tremblingly. Although he was not in the King's Hall during the day, he was very clear about everything that happened in the King's Hall. Reinhard's attitude towards himself now was completely different from that towards other ministers during the day.

"Tell me, I gave up the position of king to Fiona. Is this right or not?" Dawn suddenly asked, which surprised Barron, but he didn't remain silent for long. He naturally understood Dawn.

The reason why he supported Fiona as a puppet, and I asked myself if it was correct at this time, was probably to confirm from the nobles how close the connection between the World Government and Polkaea was.

Only the World Government scares Reinhardt at this time.

"Correct." Barron nodded, "Polkaia is a member of the World Government after all. The royal family is naturally connected with the World Government. If civilians rebel and eventually take the position of king, the World Government may send troops to support or use other means.

To impose sanctions."

"But if it's a coup within the royal family, the world government won't bother to take care of it."

After hearing what he said, Dawn finally breathed a sigh of relief. He only asked these words to confirm the authenticity of what Fiona had said. He still couldn't fully trust Fiona.

In fact, so far, the only people he can fully trust are only a few members of the Reinhardt Working Group.

"Do you want to take the initiative to contact the World Government?" Liming asked again. He never liked waiting, let alone waiting until the situation became passive before taking action.

"It's best to wait until after Princess Fiona's inheritance ceremony tomorrow, use the king's single-line phone number to contact her, and inform her of the coup within the royal family." Barron thought for a while and said, as Clovis's playmate since childhood, when he grew up,

He was also Clovis's staff, so he had a better understanding of the situation in the royal family.

"By the way, there is one more thing that I urgently need to report to you." Barron suddenly said, "The World Government's heavenly gold has not been collected yet."

Heavenly gold!

Dawn was stunned, not expecting that the matter of Tianshangjin would not end easily, but all this happened today because of the opportunity of Tianshangjin. The commercial industries and armed forces he planned step by step were all collected by the nobles of that day.

The collection of heavenly gold is closely related. At this time, when Barron said that the collection of heavenly gold has not been completed, he actually had a strange feeling.

"How many gaps are there?" Liming asked. Before Ketok died, he had already sent people to collect a lot of wealth.

Barron shook his head, and at dawn he remembered that he should ask the Minister of Finance about this matter.

"But I heard that the total amount of gold in the sky is about five billion beli!"

The Kingdom of Polkaia has no precious specialties, so it uses money instead, but it is difficult to raise five billion beli.

"What will happen if you don't hand over the heavenly gold?" Mingxiao asked with a smile. This statement made Baron stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly dissuaded him: "Sir, every joining country must pay tribute to the world's nobles every year." Tianlong

"People's wealth must never not be handed over."

Dawn nodded, and then told the guards outside the hall: "Have the Minister of Finance come to the King's Hall to see me immediately."

The guards were ordered to leave.

After a while, the Finance Minister returned to the King's Hall. After seeing Mingxiao and Barron, he quickly knelt down and worshiped: "Colin, please see Lord Reinhardt!"

Colin is fifty-eight years old this year. He was a minister who was promoted by Mallie. Although he later did a lot of things for him because of Ketok's power, these were all considered self-protection.

"Colin, how far has the collection of gold from the sky progressed?" Dawn said to him, but she didn't mean to signal him to get up.

"There are still three billion Baileys left." Colin replied solemnly.

"Then what should we do with these three billion?"

Colin was silent for a while. Seeing that Reinhard seemed to be asking for his opinion, he thought for a moment and said, "Sir, continue to collect from the civilian class. I guarantee that the full amount will be handed over in less than half a month."

"Barron, what do you think?" Dawn didn't look at Colin who was kneeling on the ground, but turned to Barron and asked.

Barron shook his head but said nothing.

"Recruiting from the civilian class..." Dawn couldn't help laughing, "Colin, you really gave me a good idea."

"Thank you, sir."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Mingxiao's eyes piercing his body like a knife, and he suddenly panicked. Then he suddenly remembered that Reinhardt had rioted many times precisely because he resisted the collection of heavenly gold from civilians.

He made such a stupid mistake at this time. Colin couldn't help but blame himself. He immediately crawled to the ground and cried for mercy: "Sir, I was wrong."

"Since you are wrong, let's find a way to solve the gap of three billion beli tonight." Ming Xiao snorted coldly.

Colin raised his head and looked at Barron, as if asking him to help and plead for mercy. Barron knew that it was impossible to collect the money from civilians, but it was impossible not to hand over the gold from the sky, so he understood the truth of Dawn in his heart.

meaning.

"Sir, there are many nobles in the palace. It should be no problem for each noble to collect hundreds of millions of beli."

Mingxiao glanced at Barron in surprise. He was really a smart man. He knew that the matter of heavenly gold must be solved, and he could not collect it from the common people. The most important thing was that he guessed that he was trying to get the nobles in the palace to take out the money.

idea.

"Colin, what do you think?" Dawn asked the Chancellor of Finance.

Colin didn't dare to have any objections. It was very difficult for nobles like them to save their lives. The young man in front of them was a murderer without blinking an eye.

"No...no...Lord Barron is right. As nobles, each of us can collect a little bit, which is enough for three billion beli." Colin said in panic.

Li Ming nodded, but he was always thinking about the five billion Baileys in his heart. It would be a waste to hand over these wealth to the Tianlong people for no reason. If it is used to develop a brewery or for the administration of New Porkaria, then it will be a waste.

All of them are a boost that can quickly promote the domestic economy.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought that the heavenly gold could be replaced by special products. For example, the Maple Leaf Country next to it used exquisite maple leaves as tributes to the heavenly gold.

Since there is no specialty product in Porcarlia, we should find a way to create a specialty product that is novel enough for the Celestial Dragons.

He thought of an idea and immediately told Barron: "Call all the craftsmen in the country immediately."

He wanted to create a wine bottle that was more exquisite, luxurious and innovative than the storage hero white, specifically used as a tribute to the Tianlong people. In order to quickly hype it up in Beihai, the output would be limited to a very small amount every year. Thinking of this, he immediately contacted

After finding Chitila, we planned to start with the news.
