lizard lord

Chapter 174 Cooperation
He has the raw materials for minting coins, he has the technology, and he also has metallurgical craftsmen.Before, he only thought about minting some copper coins secretly, but now it seems that maybe the scope of this sideline business should be expanded a little bit.

The royal family has never clearly stipulated that the merchant responsible for the exchange must be appointed by the royal family, as long as there are channels that can handle these different gold coins.

It's just that there are not many forces with this ability, either the great aristocrats and royal families, or the rich merchants. The latter still depends on the former to a certain extent. After all, they do not have the power to recast currency.

Therefore, this line of business is still feasible in theory.

Judging from the news from Andrea, the royal family sent a lot of marquis gold coins in Luford. Many small and medium-sized forces or individuals who made contributions in the war have received such rewards, and are eagerly discussing how to Use these unspendable gold coins to exchange for more benefits.

Now the exchange ratio between royal gold coins and marquis gold coins is a hot topic. The current exchange ratio is 280:220. Five hundred marquis gold coins can only be exchanged for less than [-] royal gold coins. This ratio is continuing to rise and will eventually be suppressed. One to two point three, five hundred can only be exchanged for [-] royal gold coins, a very low number.

Some people have calculated it specifically, and the real gold in the gold coin is extracted, and the price is almost the same. Anyway, it is a loss.

I don't know who came up with this idea, but it's not very good anyway, and it makes people in the city more or less dissatisfied.

From Julia's words, it seems that the interior of the royal family is not monolithic and needs to be further explored.

If you use your own equipment to recast these gold coins, the income will be completely different.

The gold content of the two gold coins is about the same.The gold from 450 marquis gold coins can be refined into almost [-] royal gold coins, and the remaining metals used as fillers are worthless, more than double the income from exchange.

Thinking about how many gold coins the legion has distributed, if you get all of them, it will definitely be a very considerable profit.

It's just that the risk is a bit high, because of the attention of people, the royal family may wear small shoes, and the labor cost required to collect these gold coins is not low.

So Tang Zhao planned to recruit a partner to collect the gold coins and send them to him for recasting.

At the beginning, he wanted to go to Earl Luford, hoping to use the other party's strength to do this. However, according to the news he received from Burke before, the royal family and Earl Luford did not get along very well. This time, he might be able to solve the domestic opposition forces. So he got rid of him, Tang Zhao might get involved if he got too close to him, so he only looked for the beholder.

Among other things, beholders still have the ability to hide people's eyes.

Nominally, he had nothing to do with the Cyclops gang. He was manipulating the marionettes to control the gang. After the war ended, he disappeared mysteriously at the first moment and never showed up again. Even during the war, he was only responsible for keeping an eye on Baviro , didn't say much, and the only ones who knew his details were the Church of Heim and the Santo.

He is not even in Luford City now, but in a secret stronghold outside the city, waiting for the situation to change further.

It took a while for Tang Zhao to get in touch with the other party, but he succeeded in the end.

After making the suggestion, the beholder was very cautious, and first sent a familiar to meet Tang Zhao.

The appearance of the familiar was unremarkable, it looked like a just-adult crow, its black eyes were fixed on Tang Zhao.

"I'm very interested in what you said. But I want to know whether you really have this ability. I don't mean to question it. I know that dwarves are skilled craftsmen, but I need seeing is believing."

[Of course, feel free to check. 】

Neither crows nor lizards have flexible tongues, and both are using psionic communication, which is fast and efficient.

The kobolds behind them sent a mold, which is the copper coin template made before, which is enough to prove their ability.

A familiar has no ability to snatch the template from him. Even if there is a template but no mines, the template is still a waste product, and he dares to show it to the other party with confidence.

I don't know if this beholder understands or not, but he did look left and right for a long time, and finally nodded.

"It is indeed a qualified mold, and the precision is known to be good without the finished product. Next, let's talk about the specific details? This business has a huge return, very, very large, and the return can be as easy as [-]%, but there is also a price. I offer A stand-in organization, and use my channel to find customers to collect gold coins, you are responsible for recasting gold coins, and some special occasions are also up to you, after all, elves and unicorns are the most popular among those humans. I guess so, okay?"

[I believe we can reach a consensus in this regard, after all, we are complementary.The question is, how should the share be calculated properly? 】

"Hahaha…"

It was foreseeable that there would be a very long conversation afterwards, Tang Zhao knew for the first time that the beholder could talk like this.

In the end, they failed to reach a consensus. Tang Zhao and Beholder both thought that they should look at the effect and know how effective the other party can be in the cooperation.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of four or six points is relatively high. After all, the beholder takes risks and has more things to do than Tang Zhao and the others.

After the negotiation, the familiar controlled by the beholder left the settlement.

……

While Tang Zhao was waiting for Bourne and the others to come back, Olivia's people also arrived and brought some supplies, which were donated in the name of the family.

A few carts of food, a box of elf bread, some medicine and cloth, and finally some money, two hundred royal gold coins.

Not too much, not too little, but considering that it was earned for nothing, Tang Zhao felt that it was a lot.

There are elves and humans in the transport team, and the elves come from the southern elf kingdom.When Oran was attacked, the elves were preparing supplies. At this time, the first batch had just arrived. Olivia did not know what method she used to pick out a batch and send it here.

From them, Tang Zhao also learned the latest news from the capital.

The Marquis of Movik committed suicide in fear of crime. His family is very large. Among them, the one that did not clearly rebel still retained the title, but it was reduced to an earl. The territory is only about a quarter of the previous one, mainly a seaport city and its surroundings. The region is indeed a rich place, and the rich are still well-fed, at least for the time being. I don't know if there is anyone who settles accounts after the autumn or makes trouble.

The other marquis was even worse. Their cooperation with the devil was more in-depth, and they did more extreme things. They even caused a lot of blood sacrifice incidents in the later stage. The royal family showed no mercy to these people, and the whole family was uprooted. , there are only some viscounts and barons who have no deep relationship with the family.

At this moment, the main force of the royal family has already fought against the orcs on the front line, and the morale of the human side is so strong that victory should not be difficult.
