Overlord the sky

Chapter 85 200 million gold coins

"They? Where are they coming and going!" The king's voice was steady and cold. 26nbsp;

"You mean that I should go back and forth?" Zheng Qian's tone also turned cold, staring at the king, full of provocation.

The king and Zheng Qian looked at each other relentlessly, trying to use their majesty to suppress the two-faced face, but Zheng Qian's two-faced face was too powerful, and the king was finally defeated.

"Forget it. It's up to you to arrange it." The king flicked his sleeves and walked to the inner courtyard of the palace, no longer caring about Zheng Qian and the Hu brothers.

"Hey, wait, you just left?"

"If you don't leave, do you still think about this king?" The king was about to get angry.

"I still have something to discuss with you, don't leave in such a hurry."

"Say something quickly. This king has no time to spend here with you."

"Get two money to spend."

"what?"

"I mean, do you have any gold coins in the treasury? I'm short on money now, and a penny can't beat a hero. You say that I'm an envoy of God, and I don't have some money in my waist. You can't justify it, right?"

"You discuss this matter with the Grand Duke. I have something to do, so let's take a step first." The king took a very big step this time, as if avoiding the plague god, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"I didn't see it, it's quite generous. Grand Duke, I will trouble you with this matter." Zheng Qian turned his finger on Duan Feng.

"Since the king has already spoken, I will naturally follow through. I also ask the envoy to come with me."

"Huwei Humen, brothers, let's go." Zheng Qian greeted the two Hu brothers, and followed the Grand Duke out of the palace hall.

As a symbol of the royal family, the royal palace naturally occupies a vast area and is magnificent due to the efforts of several generations.The entire government affairs system of Winterfell City was basically brought under the control of the royal palace.After coming out of the main hall of the palace, bypassing the exquisite curved corridor, you can see the military affairs office, confidential office, financial office, and clerical office in the separate courtyards.The place where Duan Feng led the crowd was the Finance Department.

The head of the finance department is undoubtedly a member of the Duan clan.He is in charge of the finance and taxation of the [-] counties in the Kyushu of Winterfell, and the fullness of its treasury can be seen.

Along the way, Zheng Qian discussed with the Hu brothers how much money would be needed to improve the equipment of the Huben Regiment, and asked Humen to make a budget.The black steel gun basically does not need to be replaced. The black armor and black gun have become the symbol of the Huben regiment, and all the soldiers of the Huben regiment have also adapted and got used to this kind of equipment.Now the first thing to replace is the horse.

For fighting in mountains and forests, pony horses are the best choice; but if fighting on flat ground, the disadvantages of pony horses will be fully exposed.For example, against the Snow Wolf Battalion on the battlefield, they were a head shorter than them for no reason, and the Snow Wolf Battalion took advantage of them.

"If you want to add tall horses to the entire Huben Regiment, with the current personnel of the Huben Regiment, you will need at least 200 million gold coins." Humen's teeth were chattering when he said this. 200 million gold coins, an astronomical figure, their Huben Regiment had never received such a large amount of military pay in one go.

"200 million." Zheng Qian smirked as he walked.

When they arrived at the financial department, Duan Feng led Zheng to sneak in, while the two Hu brothers were blocked outside.

"An envoy, this is Mr. Duan Caiduan, the head of the Finance Department."

"Master Duan, hello." Zheng Qian greeted politely.

"This is, Lord Envoy?" Duan Cai heard something about the envoy, and also knew that the king personally welcomed the envoy back to the palace today.Now that he saw the envoy in person, he knelt down to salute in panic.

"No. I have something to trouble Mr. Duan today." Zheng Qian said.

"However, do you dare to try your best?" Duan Cai is also a veteran minister, and he has always been well-behaved. With a meticulous and easy-going personality, it is estimated that he will retreat to the second line in a few years.

"Your Majesty asked me to bring the envoy to collect some money." Duan Feng explained to Duan Cai.

"I don't know how many gold coins the envoy needs?"

"Not much, just two hundred..." Zheng Qian paused.He stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Duan Feng and Duan Cai.

"The envoy is too polite." Duan Feng and Duan Cai said at the same time.

"...[-] gold coins." The two fingers were still waving in front of Duan Cai and Duan Feng's eyes.

The two people who were smiling had smiles on their faces, and they were petrified under Zheng Qian's two fingers.

"How not?"

Duan Feng was the first to reply.He wiped off his sweat and looked at Duan Cai.

"Yes, there are, but this amount..." Duan Cai rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

"I don't want more, just 200 million. I don't want a little more, and I don't want a little less."

"This... Grand Duke, look, this..." This is the first time Duan Cai has dealt with the envoy, and he doesn't know the depth of the envoy. In his impression, Duan Feng has had contact with Zheng Qian several times, and he looked at Duan Feng as if asking for help. .

Duan Feng was also in a difficult situation.Although the king asked him to lead Zheng Qian to collect the gold coins, he didn't dare to make decisions with such a large amount. 200 million gold coins, which is equivalent to one-fifth of all financial taxes in Winterfell City.

"I don't know if the envoy asks for so much money, is there any use for it?" Duan Feng could only start from other aspects.

"Could it be that I need to report to you if I use the money?" Zheng Qian is just as active as a king.

"That's not true. I don't dare to ask the envoy. It's just that 200 million gold coins is not a small amount. I'm afraid the treasury won't be able to collect so many gold coins at the moment. Please forgive me, lord envoy."

"It's not that there is no room for maneuver in this matter. Let's do it, you bring 150 million here first. I've already taken a big step forward, so don't push yourself any further."

"This..." Duan Feng and Duan Cai looked at each other again.

"I have to report this matter to the king."

"Your Majesty has already spoken, so what else do you want to report? Otherwise, what do you want me to do here? Isn't it just for you to be a witness? Go, go, or I'm going to lose my temper."

"But..." Duan Feng was really embarrassed.

"Duan Feng, you guys invited me to be this envoy. It's up to you whether you get the money, or up to me if you don't walk away." Zheng Qian lit a fire without losing the opportunity.

Duan Feng has actually scolded Zheng Qian several times in his heart, because of his scholar's face, he didn't greet Zheng Qian's ancestors.However, Zheng Qian's move was really vicious. What if the envoy that the king spent a lot of energy to hire was angry and ran away because he couldn't get the money.At that time, I really don't know how to explain to the king.Zheng Qian had pinpointed Duan Feng's deathbed.

"Well, I'm not in charge of finance either, and I have to ask Mr. Duan Cai to do what he can." Duan Feng couldn't bear it, so he put this responsibility on Duan Cai.

Duan Cai complained in his heart.Duan Feng, Duan Feng, you old cunning, you can't handle such a big matter if you put it on me, but can I handle it as a manager?The king is different now, and if he gets angry, it will be hard to say whether the head is still attached to his neck.

"Director Duan, what do you think?" Zheng Qian didn't care about their difficulties.Going around, they are all members of your Duan family, he just needs to get the money.

"My lord envoy..." Duan Cai's face was dripping with sweat, and he was discussing with Zheng Qian while wiping it with his sleeve. "Because the national treasury has just recently purchased a batch of high-end horses, it can't afford so many gold coins for a while. Please forgive me for a period of time. After the tax revenue of the sixty counties in Kyushu comes up, I will make up the rest. I don't know God's will. How about next?"

As soon as he heard the words "tall horse", Zheng Qian's eyes lit up.What is really lacking, even the effort of going to the racecourse can be saved.But he remained calm.

"Oh? Tall horses? Could it be that the treasury of Winterfell City is empty after only buying a batch of tall horses? Are you fooling me?"

"Never dare to fool the envoys. Because these horses are fine breeds collected from the Sri Lankan grasslands, the cost is more than double that of ordinary horses. That's why the treasury is temporarily empty." Duan Cai profusely With the big change in his complexion, he couldn't speak fluently.

Zheng Qian was even happier.

"Director Duan, where are those horses now?"

"In the horse farm dedicated to the palace, it has not been assigned yet. It is waiting for the king's order."

"Are these horses for the Snow Wolf camp?"

"According to the usual rules, this group of horses should have been assigned to the Snow Wolf Camp. But the king has not issued an order, and I don't know how the general will approve the horses and arrange them."

"How much money can you take out now?"

"Up to 100 million gold coins."

"Okay, let's start with 100 million. As for the rest..."

"Also ask the gods to accommodate."

"Duan Feng, you should know the location of the racecourse."

"Well, I know the location of the racecourse, but no one can enter the racecourse without the king's order." Duan Feng already knew what Zheng Qian meant, and hurriedly tried to dispel Zheng Qian's thoughts.He thought Zheng Qian was greedy for money, but he never thought that Zheng Qian was actually greedy for horses.

"You just need to be responsible for taking me there. As for whether you can get in or not, you will know when the time comes." Zheng Qian said cheerfully to Duan Feng.
