Our family is in decline

"There is not much money left in the account now. If you keep spending like this, you will soon hit the bottom."

"If the money is gone, just make it again. Don't feel bad." Lance was very tolerant and comforted him.

"Of course you're not the accountant, but you're just giving away hundreds or even thousands of gold coins in a random batch. How come you don't see any money coming in when you take out so much?"

Tiffany was angry when she saw Lance's nonchalant look. Her hair was about to fall out for that little money, and she wished she could break the flower in half with a copper coin.

Not to mention dead people, now when I see a stone, I want to squeeze out the oil and water.

But it’s understandable, after all, having no money can really drive a person crazy.

Lance finally understood that he was here to ask for money.

But he could only explain with a wry smile: "How can I have money? I am so poor that I can only eat lobster. Don't you know exactly how much money is in the account? Even if you sell me, that's it."

Everyone knows that Lance lives a simple life, without even a servant.

The only thing that can be considered a luxury is eating crabs and lobsters every day.

But in this era, this kind of seafood without much meat is not valuable, and only the poor eat it. In fact, the consumption is not as expensive as eating cattle and sheep.

So if Lance eats that thing every day, it seems to everyone that he is scrimping on food and clothing.

What is really costly is the cost of Hamlet's development.

But don’t think that Lance can transport ships and carts of goods back for free. Although the town has some output, the bulk of it still has to be paid for.

Moreover, raising this powerful professional army is even more expensive. Those serfs do not get paid but only eat, otherwise it will be even more serious.

Behind Hamlet's vigorous development was the millions of gold coins he plundered in Totnes.

But now it’s almost bottoming out.

"Now we have to fight again, so let's fight. I can understand saving our own people, but do you know there are so many disabled prisoners this round? How much does it cost? These people can't work, so you keep them. Why? Why not give them a good time!

And how much money do you need to support those fleets? do you have……"

Lance wanted to laugh when he heard her say that.

Good guy, although Paracelsus said it was for research, when he saw the injured prisoners, he would first see if he could save them regardless of their identity. It would be better for you to give them a happy life with just one sentence. You are really a living Bodhisattva.

"why are you laughing?"

Tiffany noticed Lance's reaction and scolded him, frightening Lance so much that he quickly corrected his attitude.

There is no other way, if you can't hand over the public food, you are destined to be inferior to others.

Tiffany stared at Lance and couldn't help but fell into silence for a moment before continuing.

"If you don't have money, don't fight. We can't afford the consumption."

Tiffany also knows Lance's difficulties, but no money means no money. War is not good for Hamlet, at least for her, but it is getting more and more stressful.

Although Lance will definitely gain something from every battle, his seizures are turned around and invested in construction, and many of them are physical objects that cannot be realized, such as weapons and equipment and fleets. With so many horses, he has to pay a sum of money. The cost of keeping a horse.

Or it has strategic significance and must be fought, such as fighting against the Ascension Sect and developing the wilderness.

These investments have no income in the short term. Lance can see the long term, but the imminent difficulties are right under Tiffany's nose.

"The cultists must be suppressed, otherwise it won't work! What's more, we have been preparing for so long, and the opportunity is fleeting. Once we miss it, it will be difficult for us to catch it again!"

When Lance heard this, he disagreed. He took off his pants for Operation Wilderness and just went straight to it. You...

"I don't care. You have to pay me anyway. If you don't have money, don't fight. Just make money for me honestly."

It's not surprising that Tiffany said this, because now she is Hamlet's money manager.

Lance made the decision, but the money had to go through her hands.

In normal times, Lance wouldn't be able to delegate this kind of power, but now he doesn't have so much time to focus on these little things.

Tiffany can hold such an important position because there are only a few people in the town who understand this, and she is the only one who can reassure Lance.

Reliability here refers not only to ability, but more importantly to loyalty. This kind of work involves a lot of secrets and is easy to be corrupted, so you must have reliable people.

Her whole family is in Lance's hands.

As for her abilities, she is actually not bad at all, and is even somewhat talented.

When she took over the business group, it almost collapsed because she was pushed out in a hurry. Before that, she was just a handyman. She lacked a step-by-step process, had no experience in handling corresponding incidents, and her methods were not sophisticated enough.

What's more important is that her mentality is not good, she lacks psychological support, and the people below are not supportive or cooperative with her.

But now Hamlet's pillar is still standing, and she doesn't need to care about other things. She only needs to do her job well and work within the regulated rules.

This solves all the worries for Tiffany, who lacks decisiveness, and can use her abilities to the best of her ability.

What's more important is Lance's trust in her. Now, to put it nicely, it means entrusting her with important responsibilities, but to say it worst, Lance uses her like a cow or a horse.

With this kind of high-intensity work, if nothing else, the improvement in ability is obvious, and the aura in the body is also developed, which makes the whole person completely different.

No, he asked Lance for money directly in front of the corpse.

It seemed that it was not Jean who forced her into a desperate situation, but Lance.

Tiffany finally seized this opportunity and had to squeeze Lance out today.

Compared to her aggressive posture, Lance seemed a bit weak and even started to talk about him.

"I can't settle accounts, and you can't fight. Now that Hamlet wants to open up the situation, this battle must be fought..."

"If there's no money in the account, there's no money. If you keep messing around, I won't do it anymore. You can find someone else." Tiffany has been following him for such a long time, but she is no longer as naive as before. Help him count the money.

She won't leave until she gets the money today!

Hearing that Tiffany was about to give up her job, Lance understood that he could not avoid the knife even if he stretched his head or shrank his head, so he had no choice but to comfort her.

"If you win, you will get money! Bastia's ransom of 18,000 gold coins will be delivered immediately. When the Roma fleet comes back, the batch of equipment, jewelry and ascension potions will cost tens of thousands of gold coins."

Naturally, the transaction between Lance and the Roma was not that simple. It would be difficult to sell some of the things he acquired, but the Roma had channels.

During the war in the empire, the prices of jewelry and antiques dropped, but the prices in the world outside the empire were still so high.

Similarly, the price of extraordinary equipment has risen sharply due to the chaos. Lance has a lot of equipment in his hand that cannot be used because of too many negative effects.

If it couldn't be used, it was of little value to Lance, so he took advantage of this opportunity to take action.

"You create a document." Tiffany took out a document from the hand and slapped it on the table.

Looking at the things that should have been prepared long ago, Lance finally reacted.

Good guy, you are waiting for me here!

She definitely came here to ask for money from him, and her goal was very clear. No wonder she didn't react at all when she saw Jean's body just now.

"Sign it~" Tiffany fiddled with the pen and paper, but there was no room for negotiation in her eyes.

"This... no need, didn't I promise you already?"

"You said the same thing last time, but you didn't get the money back, so you had to add money to your account." Tiffany was not shaken at all.

Lance was really heartbroken when he saw this scene!

Thinking about what an innocent and lovely girl Tiffany was back then, what turned you into this...

The arduous work taught Tiffany a lot of lessons, and it was Lance who taught her that some things cannot be said, and no matter how nice they are, they are not as good as a piece of paper.

Lance took the pen handed over by Tiffany, with a helpless smile on his face.

We just finished talking about Gene paying off his debt, and now it's his turn.

Lance signed this thing after all. The hand holding the giant sword that killed countless enemies could not even hold a pen at this moment and let go.

Tiffany took the piece of paper with her, but there was no pride on her face. Instead, her look before leaving seemed to contain strong resentment.

When he saw it directly, Lance could only respond with a smile, for fear of offending her.

Lance booed after the others had walked away.

"The world is really in decline..."

…………

"It's funny to say that. Originally, I wanted Jean to tell me how he persecuted her at that time. Who knew that Jean was completely indifferent, and instead directly cut off with the old thing? I couldn't tell what it was, so naturally it wasn't Keep this person.

After all, I was busy for her for a long time, and I was scolded by Margaret. Do you know what that guy Tiffany did to me? "

As he spoke, Lance couldn't help but look at Grendel, who was lying next to him. After he finished speaking, he naturally talked about today's interesting events.

"Come on, I'm embarrassed to expose you. Are you doing it for her? You're looking at Jean's team."

Greendale did not take the words, but smiled and exposed his words. The reason why she said this was that she could feel that Lance was joking, and there was no negative emotion at all.

"Part of the reason, part of the reason..." Lance laughed and continued to talk about Tiffany's performance.

"At that time, she actually took one look at the body, and then turned around and asked me for money. Didn't you see how quickly she changed her face? I felt so unworthy for Jean."

Lance's words suddenly became full of passion, as if he was Gene and said, "I'm dying in front of you, you should look at me more."

This performance made Greendale laugh directly.

"And I promised her that the money would be credited to her account as soon as possible, but she still didn't believe it. She took out a document and asked me to sign it before she would accept it. This is definitely prepared."

"Then have you signed it?"

"If you don't sign, I won't be able to come to your place tonight." Lance said, bringing Grendel over and pressing his face against hers.

"Our lord actually has his moments of weakness~" Greendale embraced him and gently teased Lance in her arms. Her eyes turned into crescent moons, and her smile was about to overflow.

"It's better for you~" Lance remained silent. The soft and fragrant fragrance enveloped his cheeks with warmth, which greatly comforted Lance's "injured" heart.

Greendale raised her hand and slowly pressed her temples, and said teasingly: "She is still too young. She was fooled around by you and she still thinks she has won."

These words made Lance stop making trouble anymore, he raised his head and explained with a smile.

"She's already prepared for this, so what if I play with her for a while? It's better for her to vent her anger on me than on someone else. Anyway, I'm thick-skinned, and I won't lose a piece of meat if she says a few words."

"You can tease her, and you won't be afraid of anything going wrong." Greendale knew that Lance was someone who could be easily fooled, so he could only tease Tiffany.

"How could I not know whether there is money in the account? This matter is indeed embarrassing for her. Just seeing the money in the account continue to decrease and no money coming into the account, that kind of anxiety can destroy a person's mentality."

"Even if the ransom and payment are received, it is only a temporary measure. If we want to expand the army and research firearms, we have to find a way." Speaking of this, Greendale couldn't help but become serious, because she had been exposed to those things and understood that Hamlet is now It’s just burning money, and you can imagine the consequences if you run out of money.

People's hearts gather and disperse in just a thought.

"The funds for Hamlet's subsequent activities don't come from those, so how much money is there?"

Lance didn't care. Tens of thousands of gold coins was something that an ordinary person couldn't even imagine, but it was nothing to Lance.

There was nothing to hide from Greendale at this time, Lance said.

"The next real funding is in Ovendo City. Now the conflicts in the city have become more and more acute. The money accumulated by the nobles and wealthy households in the city for so many years must have several million gold coins, right?"

Greendale knew as soon as she heard that Lance was preparing to attack Ovendo.

"Then why don't you tell Tiffany? She will definitely agree to your war and will even give you advice. After all, she also grew up in Owendo City. She will definitely know who is rich."

"Our main force is responsible for the wilderness operation. The one responsible for the Owendo operation is the team established by Walt and Vic. At most, I will go over to collect money.

What's more, the reason why the surprise is a surprise is because the expectations are low enough. If I tell her about the money, what if there is an accident in Ovendo's actions?

If she can't get the money by then, she can eat me alive. On the other hand, if she doesn't know, she will be happier if I can get the money by then, instead of always worrying about this full of uncertainty, which doesn't belong yet. own money. "

"Aren't you still worried that Tiffany will find excuses to pester you?" Greendale revealed Lance's true face in one sentence, with a bit of ridicule, "You deserve it. Who makes you hide from others every day? No wonder Tiffany Fanny seizes the opportunity and never lets it go.”

"There's something wrong with you." Lance seemed to have noticed something, and such a straightforward style felt like he was forcing him.

Greendale didn't say anything, but took the initiative to point it out, "Can't you see?"

"No, she is an ordinary person." Lance naturally understood what she meant, and immediately denied it, "When I looked at Bahrain's mother, I understood that extraordinary beings and ordinary people were no longer suitable, so why should we do it for ourselves? But to harm others."
