The outside of the treasury is heavily guarded and guarded by imperial guards who specialize in martial arts, but there is little security inside the treasury.

After the meticulous interrogation outside, it is impossible for idlers to enter the treasury, so at most there are a few royal guards patrolling here to monitor the clerks working here.

The actuarial clerks were sitting in front of the abacus table, with financial statements piled up in front of them. They were immersed in calculating the data on them, conducting verification, comparison and data analysis, and then sorting out new documents.

The clerk in charge of the cashier took the king's decree from Baldian, read it carefully, made a "please" gesture, and led the three people to the treasury.

Different from the splendid and bejeweled appearance as imagined, the vault does not have any particularly fancy decorations. It is just a huge sealed warehouse. What is placed inside is not goods, but a massive amount of monthly coins and coinage raw materials.

The internal area of ​​the vault is so large that it is difficult to see all of it at a glance. The neatly arranged shelves are stacked on top of each other, and all have regular naming methods to facilitate financial personnel to make statistics.

The finished monthly coins stored here are distinguished by type, with 10 coins in each stack. They are placed on the shelves with an almost obsessive-compulsive precision. Looking from a distance, they have a physical beauty.

This is the financial lifeline of Doguland. Whether it is maintaining the daily operations of the kingdom or fiscal arrangements during emergencies, it is closely connected with it.

When the national treasury is full, the country is peaceful and the people are safe; when the national treasury is empty, the country is weak and the people are poor.

Doguland has not been prosperous and stable in recent years. This ancient kingdom first suffered from an outbreak of lycanthropy, experienced the "Osmanthus War" in 486 years of the Huoyao calendar, and later the royal city coup in the 500th year of the Huoyao calendar, and its finances were once on the verge of depletion.

.

Fortunately, there have been no more wars in the more than ten years since the imperial coup. The state of the treasury has improved and is now at a "fairly stable" level. It cannot be called rich, but it cannot be said to be empty.

1,000 gold moons is unimaginable wealth for an individual, but it is not a huge amount for a country.

After the cashier officer checked the opponent's order, he found someone to start counting the number of golden months.

Stack after stack of golden moons on the wooden shelf were being taken away and packed into boxes. When Edward saw this, he said half-jokingly: "With 1,000 golden moons, you can buy a bottle of 4-star permanent potion, and you can train a person with the same strength as

Extraordinary person of the 4th sequence;"

"In exchange for Silver Moon, you can buy land in a town and become a powerful landowner."

"Exchanged for copper and iron months, you can buy mountains of grain and support three fully-equipped legions for a whole year."

"And now, this wealth is going to be used to feed a kidnapper."

Baldian sighed while waiting for the officials to count the moon coins. He shook his head and sighed: "His Majesty the King and I have the same idea. Although it is a pity to give away 1,000 gold moon coins in vain, if this money can be used to exchange Bao back, I will give it to him."

Gave it."

"Abao's caravan is an extremely important part of the kingdom's trade line and has business dealings with various chambers of commerce. If anything happens to Abao and the Far East Dynasty tightens trade, it will cause a big blow to our economy.

But it’s not a matter of losing 1,000 gold moons.”

"What if he is already dead?" Edward shrugged and said calmly, "How bad would it be if Po was already a corpse as we speak?"

"Believe me, if your guess comes true, this will never be a good result." Baldian gently stroked his beard and said silently, "Of course, if this happens, we can only try our best to make up for it.

Consequences. At least it is certain that the foundation of the Yangyang Kingdom will not be shaken just because of the death of a Bao, and Doguland is not that fragile."

"Speaking of which, don't you have anything to say? Archon Kino." Edward looked at Kino and narrowed his eyes. "You and Abao had business dealings before. Now his life and death are unknown. Your reaction seems very strange."

calm."

Kino said calmly: "What do I have to say? Just like you said - business dealings - A Bao and I are not friends, just trading partners. He can provide me with the goods I want.

The effect is limited to this.”

"If A Bao dies, someone else will take over A Bao's caravan, and another A Mao, A Gou, and A Zhu will come to me to discuss trade and continue to provide the goods I want, but with a different person.

I have nothing to say."

"That's true." Edward chuckled and continued to ask, "What kind of person is A Bao in your eyes?"

"Arrogant and domineering, unable to restrain himself, rude..." Kino listed Abao's shortcomings one by one, and finally met Edward's gaze, with a slight smile in his eyes, "If he is not from Abao's caravan,

Boss, he will turn into a dead person on the first day he comes to the executive mansion, and he will not know how he died."

"Hahaha, you are really honest and don't shy away from suspicion. You dare to say such things at this juncture." Edward didn't know if his words were genuine praise or just a joke.

He then looked at the packing boxes not far away and said, "It's almost done."

Soon, the financial official came over and said respectfully: "Sir Edward, all 1,000 gold moons have been counted and packed into boxes. Do you want to count them in person, or seal them directly?"

"Just seal the box. I believe Lord Baldian's men will not make stupid mistakes." Edward waved to everyone and took the lead to leave, "Let's go, don't delay the work of the treasury here."

There are rules for entering the treasury, and there are rules for leaving the treasury.

When you leave the treasury, you need to "separate people from the box." When people come out, they go through the security check again, and the iron-eating beast sniffs whether there are any hidden metal products.

If the iron-eating beast barks at this time, there will be big trouble.

The fact that you were able to go in at first means that you didn't have any metal products on you originally. If there were any metal products when you came out, it can only mean that you took something inside.

Of course, this situation did not happen to Chino and others.

As for the cashier's box, it goes through another channel. The imperial guards will verify the contents according to the cashier's report, and finally "seal" the box and transport it out of the treasury.

When Kino and others came out, the boxes were also taken out and placed on their carriage.

From this moment on, the treasury cashier process is completed, and the monthly coins are truly delivered to the claimant.

If any unexpected situation occurs, such as losing the monthly coins, it will be the responsibility of the applicant and has nothing to do with the financial officials of the treasury.

Resakhar was blocked out due to a moment of negligence. He was sitting on the roadside boredly. When he saw the three people coming out, he immediately smiled bitterly and said: "You can do the math. I have counted all the ants on the ground."

All over."

Edward joked: "You should find a chance to go in and take a look. To be honest, those golden moons almost dazzled my eyes."
Chapter completed!
