Lord of all tribes

Chapter 220 Economic Crisis
Rollin, a soldier who died in battle, was awarded generous pensions. Soldiers who were injured and disabled and unable to go to the battlefield in the future, Rollin will not only be rewarded with a generous gold coin, but will also find them suitable for them in Garadi. manual labor.

Some things like ordinary militia instructors and warehouse guards just lack people with certain military experience and sense of responsibility. Finding these places for these disabled soldiers who can no longer go to the battlefield can be considered as a stable income for them.

Luo Lin has never been stingy in the investment and construction of the army, because he understands that this is the foundation of his foundation.

If there is no elite army attached to him and loyal to him, then all he is doing now is making wedding dresses for others.

In this world where the law of the jungle is vividly interpreted, strength is the cornerstone of your right to speak.

Although militarism is undesirable, it does not prevent military construction from being the first priority. At least, within the range that the territory can bear, try to invest more resources in the army.

Now most of the entire magic crystal veins have fallen into the hands of Luo Lin. With the supply of sufficient miners, carts of blue and black raw magic crystal mines were brought into the Garadi territory by pack horses.

These days old Quite would have some smiles on his face from time to time, and sometimes he would laugh out loud unconsciously.

Because the truckloads of raw magic crystal ore were transported to Garadi, in the eyes of Old Quite, it was the same as the carts of golden gold coins being brought to Garadi.

Old Quite, who is in charge of the money bag as Galadi, has always been very active in the accumulation of wealth in the territory. He has come to talk to Rollin several times to discuss whether there are enough miners for mining veins. If not, I can immediately recruit people.
Even at the time when Calati led the big conscription, the old Quite was never so excited and enthusiastic.
Rollin really couldn't stand Old Quite's full enthusiasm. This old man who has been following Rollin since Rollin took over the territory, now has a proper status in the Galadi Territory as a veteran.

Coupled with the fact that Old Quite controls the money bag of the Galadi Territory, no matter what the regular construction of the territory or the collection of various wages and military salaries, the old Quite must be found. The tallest outside the forest.

Old Quite, who controls the financial power of the territory, will always attract some fawning and clinging more than others
The purpose is naturally to get more gold coins from old Quite, gold coins are never too much for anyone
But to complement old Quite's love of gold coins, old Quite fully demonstrated his talent for miserliness.

For the necessary military salaries and so on, Old Quite will pay enough money every month, but compared to some contracted basic livelihood construction and the procurement of various ingredients in the army, Old Quite has always been willing to take the trouble , always want to squeeze the other party's profits to a level that is enough to make people laugh and helpless.

According to the words of old Quite, every gold coin of mine belongs to the lord, and I must make a good home for the lord!
"Is there something wrong? My butler."

Luo Lin conveniently put down the stack of documents in his hand, and glanced slightly at the old Quite who was standing aside, wondering if he was here again to ask if the Magic Crystal Mine needed more staff?

"My lord. I." Old Quite hesitated, his face flushed a little, and he seemed a little embarrassed to speak.

"It's okay to say something, by the way, there are enough miners on the magic crystal vein."

Luo Lin said something more casually, and the provincial old Quite brought up this matter again.

"No, it's not about this matter." Old Quite took a deep breath and straightened his words, "That's right, my lord, the finances in the territory are beyond their means!"

Old Quite lowered his head in shame. He thought that this matter was due to the failure of the chief financial officer of his territory, which led to the deficit of the territory's finances.

"Oh? Isn't the sale of Dukang wine enough to pay for the consumption of the territory? Isn't there a variety of commercial taxes, how can it make ends meet?"

Luo Lin was a little surprised when he heard that the financial figures of the territory reported by Old Quite had a geometric growth trend, but now they suddenly became beyond their means.

"My lord, the sales of Dukang wine have almost stagnated with the outbreak of the beast tide. The city of Versilia, which had the best sales of Dukang wine, is now because most of the nobles died and fled. Your income has dropped sharply, and most of the Dukang wine produced today is given to the soldiers in the army by you."

Old Quite became more and more articulate as he spoke, "As for the commercial taxation in the territory, it is basically empty, because of the limited population, most of the citizens in various towns like to barter, systematic business Circles are still in their infancy.”

"And the Galady Territory has to support a huge amount of military expenditure every day, and the expansion of the city-level city walls, all of which need to be guaranteed by huge funds. The gold coins accumulated in the previous territory have been almost consumed these days."

"It's all my fault for being unfavorable to the financial supervision and management in the territory, so I"

Listening to Old Quite's careful report, Luo Lin was stunned for a while. The financial affairs were always taken care of by Old Quite, and he didn't spend much time, but he would pay attention to it when he had spare time. He didn't expect that now The problem has become so serious.

Luo Lin glanced at the old Quite who was obviously guilty, and couldn't bear it, "These are the most common problems. If the territory needs to expand, it needs to form a strong army. Military salaries, pensions and various rewards are all It is essential, no matter who is the financial officer, they will encounter such problems from time to time, and it is already very remarkable that you can delay this situation until today."

What Rowling said was not entirely consoling and complimenting old Quite. In fact, Rowling knew in his heart that if old Quite hadn't been guarding the money bag that Galadi led, at the speed of Rowling's spending, I'm afraid it would have been a long time ago. It's empty.

"Actually. It's not that there is no solution." Old Quite said silently from the side.

"Is there any good way?" Luo Lin asked.

"Reduce the military salary. The monthly military salary in the territory is too high. Even if it is issued at twice the military salary of other territories, it can save a lot of gold coins every month."

Old Quite said in a deep voice, old Quite had long complained about the high military pay in the territory.

"Reduce military pay?" Luo Lin chuckled softly, "The army is the soul of the territory, and the soldiers are the foundation of the army. They sacrificed their lives to fight for the territory, and in the end they won't earn as much as an ordinary shoemaker. That's fair. ?"

"But other territories." Old Quite was still trying to defend himself.

"I don't care what other territories are like. Anyway, in my Garadi territory, I either don't conscript soldiers, or I will always be treated like this." Luo Lin took a breath, "The blood of the brave is far more expensive than secular gold coins. They are fighting abroad, and these military salaries can make their families live better, this is their only sustenance!"

"No matter what, the military pay cannot be reduced!" Luo Lin was very firm.

"Then we can only sell some magic crystals. According to the current output of the magic crystal mine, we can sell half of them." Old Quite calculated silently.

"No, the magic crystal is of great use to me." Luo Lin refused again, and the old Quite's face turned dark.
