18th century total war

Chapter 80 Join if you can't beat it
In a city in the province of Ille-Vilaine, a middle-aged man in the dusty world rode his horse galloping along the main road in the city.

The citizens couldn't help but give way one after another, looking at the retreating figure in surprise, and at the same time began to gossip about the other party's identity.

Those who can ride horses on the streets of the city are either the police and the city defense army, or those bureaucrats and dignitaries!

Wallace soon rode to the city center. In the prime location of the central square, a dazzling facade came into Wallace's eyes.

It says Wallace Bank Branch in French!
After running away, Wallace immediately came to the nearest city with a banking industry under his name.

Wallace Bank, this name is very popular in Brittany, even Levi can often hear this name.

This is the largest financial giant in Brittany, bar none!

Of course, this is also one of the evidences that Li Wei determined that this world is just a parallel world similar to the world in his previous life, not a certain historical time and space in the world of his previous life.

After all, in the world of his previous life, Levi only knew that Wallace made fried chicken, burgers and french fries... He had never heard of Wallace Bank, and it was opened in France!
After dismounting, the waiters outside the bank will naturally lead the horses to the stables. Those who can enter the bank these days are either rich or expensive!
For civilians who have eaten their last meal, the bank is just a magnificent landmark building in their eyes, not a business building, because they have no money left to save!

Of course, Wallace also has a financial industry specifically targeting the civilian class, responsible for lending business.

Even Wallace had done business with most of the upper-middle-class nobles in Brittany before, lent loans to the free people in these noble fiefdoms, and then led them into the abyss step by step, and finally had to sell themselves as slave……

The capitalists in the Kingdom of France have long been in tandem with the aristocracy, and the liberal aristocracy among them is the representative of the bourgeoisie. The allies of the bourgeoisie in the aristocracy are quite powerful!
After Wallace entered the bank to identify himself, he immediately entered the luxurious guest room specially set up by the senior management of the bank.

Every bank branch opened by Wallace will personally inspect it, so the person in charge of this bank knows Wallace.

Not long after, at Wallace's request, two well-known socialites of the city were invited.

They are real ladies. They are the collateral descendants of the nobles here. They have no inheritance rights. Their blood is much more noble than that of ordinary people. It's just that they don't have a fixed income, so they come out to be celebrities.

Celebrities were originally used to address noble women!

Adding the word "courtesan" at the end means that these ladies have special part-time jobs.

Unmarried aristocratic women, even if they are only descendants of run-down aristocrats, are also liked by many wealthy businessmen who have no status in the upper class.

Those low-status rich people look down on professional prostitutes, even high-end ones, so naturally there is room for socialites and courtesans to survive.

In fact, these women are equivalent to the female stars of later generations. They are very beautiful and lovely on the surface, but in the upper class, they are just playthings on the bed of the rich.

Wallace, who was just frightened and almost died in Li Wei's hands, needs some way to vent his irritability!

One-on-two, and not long after, a high-pitched female voice came from the guest room. It was obvious that these two socialites had rich experience and knew how to arouse the desire to conquer these middle-aged men with poor health.

It's a pity that the duration of this female voice is very short. After entering the sage state, Wallace began to think about his next path after dismissing the two socialites.

As the top rich class in Brittany, Wallace still has a lot of ways to retreat even if he loses all his underpants beaten by Levi!
Wallace was blocked only in political roads.

If Wallace is willing to take a step back, he can be a low-key rich man without too much power. With his connections, no one in the top position will make it too difficult for him. At worst, he will attract people to buy shares, and there will be many people who share the money. Yes, the person who distributes the money has a high enough status, so he is naturally safe.

Gold coin offensives in the Kingdom of France are significantly more useful after the Paris Revolution!
Is it true that when the local government becomes dominated by the parliament, there will be no corruption?

No, the phenomenon of corruption will only become more serious, because under the parliamentary system, there will be more political bosses, and with more bosses, there will naturally be more hands to distribute money, and corruption will naturally become more serious.

If you look at the United States in the 21st century, you will know that the seemingly democratic national elections, to put it bluntly, are soliciting political donations everywhere, and they are so legal!
And the way those candidates solicit votes is even more simple and rude, directly distributing various coupons and even cash cards to voters!

All I have to do is buy votes with a clearly marked price...

Such a money-consuming election, once those candidates succeed, can they not get their money back?
what?
Are you in office seeking welfare for the country and the people?

Well, that must be the slogan!
It can't be said that the superior is to get back his capital or even earn him dozens of times.

"After the defeat of this battle, the situation in the entire Brittany region will become extremely bad. Li Wei will inevitably run rampant in the Brittany region. At least before the arrival of the regular army of the Paris government, Ille-Ville Nexing Province will definitely be swept away by Li Wei's rebels.

Alas, most of my property is in the province of Ille-Vilaine, and now I can't get out..."

Wallace's face was full of wrinkles. Although he had many retreats, he needed to abandon the car to save his handsomeness!
The fate of the head office of Hua Lai in Rennes is vividly remembered!
When Li Wei first entered the city, he unceremoniously took over the treasury of Wallace's head office. Fortunately, Wallace arranged in advance to transport a batch of gold, so there was no huge loss.

Now Wallace can still go through the same steps, but it is easy to transport the gold away. Where is he going to transport it?
In case the regular army of the Paris government is defeated by Li Wei again, wouldn't the entire Brittany region be controlled by Li Wei?
Could it be that he took a large amount of gold and took refuge abroad?

Or run off there in Paris, to be swallowed by a pack of greedy colleagues?

It's okay to be a younger brother by yourself, the key is that those colleagues will leave you leftovers?

Wallace, who started out as a financial man, knows the methods of those colleagues who make trouble, and he will never let it go if he can kill him!
The capital world is ruthless, and the financial industry is the most ruthless business in the capital world!
"Right now, Levi has become powerful, and the military strength of his army is beyond imagination, and Levi just lacks experts in the financial industry.

Or, should I rely on Li Wei? "
