Gold is Justice

Wait... keep waiting.

The rain that has been raining for a day and a night has begun to make people's hearts gradually become colder.

From morning to night, the mermaid army, who were afraid of a sudden attack by the Demon King's army, kept a high degree of tension throughout the process, holding weapons, props and equipment.

However, the originally hazy sea in front of him became darker and deeper, and as the boundary between the sea and the sky in the distance gradually became unclear, the daytime finally passed.

So, will the offense be scheduled for the night?

Of course it is possible.

In fact, Ariel even felt that the possibility of attacking at night was far greater than during the day.

Those are monsters. Since they are monsters, does it mean that they are born tired of light and worship darkness?

At the moment, Ariel asked the generals to pull up a group of the most elite soldiers who had rested during the day, and replaced the soldiers who had been standing guard all day, to prepare for the upcoming challenge.

It's just that the vision is even worse at night, and the shadow of Hanhai City in the distance has been shrouded in night.If the Demon King's army sneaked ashore along the pier, and no one sent a signal to this side, Ariel was really worried about whether they could rush to help immediately.

Chapter 580 Talk about another business

For this reason, she had to shorten the distance from Hanhai City by about five miles.Although it is still not at ease at such a distance, at least it is much more convenient to deal with.

In the middle of the night, only the sound of the sea water not far ahead was constantly beating against the shore.

Gradually, the rain began to stop.The heat that had been dissipated by the rain seemed to begin to sweep back at this moment, quickly drying the wet clothes on people's bodies, and letting mud and sweat mix with each other and stick to their bodies.This warm and humid atmosphere is really a scene that must be dealt with with 12 energy for the mermaid army who is currently in the epidemic (harmony) situation.

then……

Within the line of sight of Ariel's wide-open eyes, on the sea level in the distance, there was a faint gleam of dawn.

Its daybreak.

And this also means that during the first day when the decisive battle was supposed to take place, the Demon King Army did not launch an attack on the Human Empire.

Not to mention attacking, after the rain stopped, the sea still looked calm and peaceful, without any dark creations appearing.

If there is only one problem, it is that the defenders of Hanhai City suddenly found that the garrison of the mermaid army moved five miles towards them in the dark night, and they were very excited when the day just dawned, shouting and cursing Tell the Mermaid Army to leave.

A distance of five miles... Using elemental guns at such a distance may be within reach by relying on the elevation angle of the mountain, but what is it for the mermaid army that only has elemental guns and is located in the terrain?

All in all, that's the end of the first day's coping.

Next, the second day, the third day, the fourth day...

During the whole five days, the rumored demon army that was supposed to attack had no intention of appearing on the edge of the capital at all, as if the elf demon king had no intention of directly attacking Hanhai City at all.

As for the mermaid army, because the food reserves are gradually bottoming out, and the number of non-combat attrition caused by the epidemic (harmony) has also begun to increase, if it continues to be consumed here, I don’t know how long it will take, and Ariel can only order that An instruction that everyone had already expected.

"Withdraw the army."

On the morning of the sixth day, Ariel finally gave the order to withdraw the troops.

The generals knew it well, and submitted the order of withdrawal and march that had been drawn up long ago, and asked Ariel to do a formal review before going down to make arrangements.

Ariel stepped out of the tent and watched the soldiers here gradually pack their bags and straighten their horses. She turned her head and looked at the Hanhai City in the distance. Looking at the tall blue castle, she was really speechless. taste.

"Sister President, shouldn't it be a good thing that we didn't fight? Why do you look...not very happy?"

Ke Ke was asking her dozen or so undead soldiers to help pack the supplies, while she was enjoying herself and walked to Ariel's side.

Looking at the 20-year-old necromancer with ponytails and a younger face, Ariel smiled wryly and said, "Not only did we fail to collect enough monsters from the Demon King's army this time, information, and completely tore apart from the Blue Bay Empire. If we have no common enemy, God knows whether the empire will continue to shift its strategic focus to us."

Having said that, Ariel sighed, smiled wryly, and said, "If possible, I really don't want to be an enemy of the empire, which is also a human being... If the Demon King Army didn't launch an attack on them, then the relationship between us The misunderstanding will not be resolved... Well, I also know that it is not good to say this, but the pressure still exists after all."

Seeing Ariel's sad appearance now, Ke Ke thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Sister President, don't be too nervous. Maybe the Demon King Army is afraid of us? Look, we mermaids The army has always been a self-proclaimed team for resisting the Demon King's army, and that elf understands us, and even more about you, the president's sister. Does he really have the courage to confront you head-on? He is afraid of losing, right? "

If that's the case, that's fine.

Ariel smiled, no matter how much she thinks about it now, it won't help, let's clear her mind and take a rest.

"President!"

But at this moment, Cream suddenly rushed over from the main entrance of the camp, and ran straight to Ariel's side.

He didn't say hello, and said directly: "The Blue Bay Empire has sent an envoy. But the envoy didn't come to find you, the president, but said that he would come to help us rescue the patients!"

Such a result surprised Ariel, she didn't care about other things at the moment, and immediately followed Cream and ran towards the main entrance of the camp with Ke Ke.Now a bunch of people have gathered there, and it can be seen that the soldiers are very nervous after these days of repeated tossing.

"Ms. Marquis is here! Ms. Marquis is here! Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Cream shouted loudly and dispersed the soldiers at the gate of the camp.Later, Ariel saw a team of about 100 people, carrying all kinds of boxes, and even pushing a flatbed full of wooden barrels standing there.It seemed that he was not carrying a weapon.

"Is it really here to save people?"

Coco was also very surprised, after all, the scene in front of him seemed a little inexplicable.

But soon, Ariel saw a slightly familiar figure.

When this person stood at the front of the medical team, Ariel knew that it was absolutely impossible for these people to simply come to help patients.

"Mr. Sugar-Coated Wine Qiaoguo, haven't you seen each other for five years? You look quite healthy."

Standing at the front of the line was of course the old man who had harmed Ariel and almost couldn't complete the task of a thousand gold coins.

However, to a certain extent, Ariel should really thank this old guy.If it wasn't for him being able to frame him back then, then I'm afraid I might still have a little bit of fantasy about those princes and nobles.

Facing Ariel, sugar-coated wine seemed to have completely forgotten the relationship between the two parties before, and he also smiled and said: "As the president of the Royal Pharmacists' Association, it is of course my duty to help patients."

Ke Ke on the side snorted, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Our president means why are you still alive? You old guy, what do you want to come here now?!"

The sugar-coated wine completely ignored the cocoa next to him, but continued to smile and said: "Your Majesty heard that the mermaid army has been infested by the plague recently. Although your majesty is very annoyed at the fact that your mermaid army is willing to degenerate and join the army of the devil king, the soldiers are also ordinary soldiers." People, His Majesty can't bear to see these ordinary people suffer from such pain, so he specially sent me to provide support."

As he said that, Sugar-coated Wine turned around and pointed at the various boxes carried by the people behind, and said, "This time, our Pharmacist Association is fully dispatched, and we are also carrying a large amount of medicine. I believe that Ms. Marquis should not Will you reject His Majesty's kindness?"

No matter from any aspect, Ariel has no reason to believe this guy.

But now, when human beings are in conflict with each other, the other party offers to help the patients, Ariel really has no reason to refuse.

Moreover, she did not believe that Chao Chao and this old guy really wanted to save people.

"If it's purely for saving lives, we certainly welcome it."

Cream next to him saw that Ariel hadn't spoken for a long time and frowned slightly, so he naturally thought of the connection, opened his arms with a smile, and said with a smile——

"It's just that we only welcome people who really come to save people, not people who have other ideas under the banner of saving people. Mr. Qiaoguo, you said you are here to save people? Then don't mind us Check out what you're carrying?"

This article is downloaded from LANWENS.COM Welcome to visit.

Sugar-coated wine's face changed slightly, but then he showed that slight expression again, and said: "Of course there is no problem, do you want to check the weapons? Feel free to check. But Mr. Cream, I still invite you to check Just be careful, don't confiscate the small knives and scissors used by doctors as weapons, and don't take out some of our healing medicines as poison."

Now, Cream's turn changed.

After all, he is not a doctor. In the entire mermaid army, there are a few people who are compatible with the light magic element, and there are more or less doctors, but let Cream come to check these materials now to see if there are any contraband. This really stumped him.

However, Cream did not panic, smiled again, and began to lead the soldiers to check.

During the inspection, the sugar-coated wine here continued to look at Ariel with a smile on his face. After looking up and down, he said, "Ms. Marquis, I haven't seen you for five years. I didn't expect everything to be like this when we meet again." The world has been turned upside down. Five years ago, you were still a maid of the imperial concubine. But five years later, you are a majestic marquis leading a strong army. Life changes as quickly as yours, but it is rare."

Ariel smiled and didn't respond, but wanted to see what the old man wanted to do.

Seeing that Ariel didn't answer, Tang Yijiu glanced at the people behind who were inspecting again, and said, "Ms. Marquis is now dominating one side, with many soldiers in her hands, I don't think she would mind being with such a useless bastard like me." Can the old man talk a little bit about business matters? I believe this is also the part that Ms. Marquis is most interested in."

Ariel glanced at him, but still didn't answer.However, Ke Ke next to her could respond instead of Ariel at this time, and said, "Business? What business do you have with our president sister?"

Sugar-coated wine can be understood at this time. Since the Marquis is unwilling to communicate directly with herself, and the people around her are the same, she turned to Coco and said with a smile: "It's about the drug business. Now facing the threat of the Demon King Army , the demand for medicines has also increased in a short period of time. Although our Royal Pharmacists Association has a special plantation, it is a pity that the area where the plantation is located has been destroyed by another rebel army not long ago There is no way we can start a new plantation for a while."

Ke Ke was taken aback, and said, "Another rebel army?"

Sugar-coated wine nodded again, and said with a smile: "Of course. You also know that there are many rebels in the empire right now? You are just the biggest and most difficult to deal with."

"When we were focused on fighting the Demon King's army, the rebel army sneaked into the plantation in Heize Province, destroyed our garden, and took all the harvested medicinal materials for themselves."

"Of course, this rebel army is not as well-trained as Madam Marquis's army. They are purely a group of rogues and robbers. After destroying our plantation, they took the medicine out of it and sold it everywhere. We even got news that Some drugs have been sold abroad at extremely low prices."

Coco nodded, and said, "So, what you call business is asking us to help you take back the botanical garden? Oh, are you still treating us as an adventurer's guild?"

The smile on Sugar-coated Wine's face has never changed: "If possible, that would be the best. Now that the strength of the Imperial Army is a little tight, I'm afraid there is no time to deal with this matter. If you can get your assistance, then That would be great. But this is not what I really want to talk about."

Now, Ariel is also a little interested.After all, if you don't talk about this kind of topic about practice, what kind of business can you talk about?

Sugar-coated wine's eyes still fell on Ke Ke, and after bending over and even nodding respectfully to Ke Ke, he finally smiled and said——

"Excuse me, is the exchange ratio between your mermaid coins and our gold coins still 1:1?"

Ke Ke was taken aback, then turned to look at Ariel next to her, and saw that Ariel did not object.Thinking about these things again, even if you don’t ask yourself, you can ask some ordinary soldiers or people living in the base area to find out. Then he said: "No, it almost reached 1.5 to 1."

Sugar-coated wine nodded lightly and said, "So that's it. Did you guys manipulate the exchange rate yourself? Or did you say it was based on the market price?"

Coco snorted and said, "Of course it is controlled by us. The coins of our mermaid army are all banknotes, which do not contain any value in themselves. If the market adjusts the ratio by itself, there will soon be all kinds of low buying The act of overselling. It's not good for our economy."

After Tang Yijiu thought about it for a while, he squeezed that very friendly smile on his face again, and said: "Exchange rate manipulation... But there are many bad things about this approach, right? For example, the development level of each place is different. Not the same, even within the empire, in some places, a gold coin can be enough for the living expenses of the most humble ordinary peasant for a year, but in some places, a gold coin is not even enough to pay for a meal of refreshments in a lunch. If If your exchange rates are all formulated according to a unified standard, then there must be problems, right?" Regarding this issue, Ariel has actually thought about it for a long time.It's just that this time I got the news and hurried over to participate in this war, but I didn't have time to discuss my thoughts with Ke Ke, who was always on the front line.Moreover, those who have done research on this issue are basically in the base area. Those soldiers who set up a "bank" have been studying these things all day long, and now they can't simply talk to Coco. clear.

At that moment, Ariel said directly: "Qiaoguo, it's our business to lock up the exchange rate. It shouldn't be your turn to come here to guide us how to do it, right?"

Sugar-coated wine continued to smile, nodded again and again, and said, "Understood, this is natural. I also know that it is impossible to command Ms. Marquis at my level. I still say what I just said, I want to come and do it with you all." A little bit of business, a little bit of an economy that will allow us to bounce back from what has hit the Arboretum."

Now that it's about money, Ariel is a little interested.After all, during this period of time, after a little calculation, the funds needed for marching and fighting are astronomical.Now the entire mermaid army only has about 500 million mermaid coins in total. This money may be enough to support the ordinary life of the people in the base area, but if there is turmoil like now, if the troops are dispatched for a month or two, the financial situation will be affected. It will be a little tight.

So, even though Ariel still hated the old man in front of her a little bit, money...in short, it still smells good.

However, although Ariel was willing to listen to what the old guy in front of her wanted to say first, she couldn't just get rid of her guard. She immediately said, "What do you want to say? Let's listen first."

Sugar-coated wine smiled cheerfully, and then said: "Ms. Marquis, since the exchange rate between us is constant, and there are two currencies between us, this in itself is a treasure that can make us rich." Means. You think, if one of us buys a large amount of currency in the other party's hands after getting the other party's notice in advance... Hehe, for example, I use the gold coins in my hand to buy your mermaid coins. After a certain period of time , you suddenly announced that the ratio of mermaid coins to gold coins has suddenly increased in value! At this time, I will use your mermaid coins to buy back gold coins. This time, I can easily earn half of the amount. This way of making money, Isn't it much easier than our daily hard work?"

For Coco next to her, after a little calculation of the account, the girl immediately understood what a means of huge profits this is!For this Coco, who has always been responsible for the financial affairs of Song of the Mermaid, her surprise at this is of course natural.

However, Ariel trembled involuntarily when she heard this method.

Does she know this behavior?

Of course she knew.

Because, she had heard about this approach before, and that person also gave detailed guidance on the operational level and technical methods.

That person is none other than his teacher—Connor Conservative.

A good way to make money in one thousand 580 chapters

Recalling that when I was still studying in the old Tengshu Academy, Mr. Connor would make some very interesting "economic stories" to tell himself, and at the same time, he would explain some of the truths after some understanding .

This story happened almost 800 years ago. A minister of one country used this method to communicate with a minister of another country, secretly manipulated the appreciation and depreciation of the currency, and then obtained a large amount of money from it by buying and selling. Windfall profits.
