He has the raw materials for coining, he has the technology, and he also has the metallurgical craftsmen. Before, he had only thought of secretly casting some copper coins. Now it seems that maybe the scope of this sideline business should be expanded a little more.

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

It's just that there are not many forces with this ability. They are either big nobles and royal families, or big wealthy businessmen. The latter still have to rely on the former to a certain extent. After all, they do not have the power to recast currency.

Therefore, this business is still theoretically feasible.

Judging from the news from Andrea, the royal family sent a lot of marquis gold coins to Ruford. Many small and medium-sized forces or individuals who contributed in the war have received such rewards, and are eagerly discussing how to do so.

Use these unspent gold coins to get more benefits.

The exchange ratio between royal gold coins and marquis gold coins is a hot topic now. The current exchange ratio is 1:18. Five hundred marquis gold coins can only be exchanged for less than 280 royal gold coins. This ratio is continuing to rise, and will eventually

Being squeezed to about 1 to 2.3, five hundred coins could only be exchanged for two hundred and twenty royal gold coins, which was a very low number.

Someone has done special calculations to extract the real gold from the gold coins, and the price is almost the same. In short, 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.

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

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

The gold content of the two gold coins is almost the same. The gold of 500 marquis gold coins can be refined into 450 royal gold coins. The remaining metal used as filler is worthless, and it is more than double the return from the exchange.

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

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

Therefore, Tang Zhao planned to find a partner to collect the gold coins and send them to him for recasting.

At first, he wanted to go to Earl Ruford, hoping to use the other party's strength to do this, but the news he got from Bock before was that the royal family and Earl Ruford were not very good at dealing with each other. This time, the domestic opposition forces were solved, and maybe it would be easy.

So he took care of him. Tang Zhao was afraid that he would be implicated if he got too close to him, so he only looked for the beholder.

If nothing else, the beholder still has the ability to deceive others.

Nominally he had nothing to do with the Cyclops Gang. He was manipulating string puppets to control the gang. After the war ended, he mysteriously disappeared as soon as possible and never showed up again. Even during the war, he was only responsible for keeping an eye on Bavero.

, didn’t say much, and the only people who knew his details were the Church of Helm and the city lord.

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

After making the suggestion, the beholder acted very cautiously and first sent a familiar to meet with Tang Zhao.

The appearance of the familiar was unremarkable, it looked like a newly grown crow, with its black eyes fixed on Tang Zhao.

"I'm very interested in what you're talking about. But I want to know if you really have this ability. I don't mean to question it. I know that dwarves are all skilled craftsmen, but I need to see it to believe it."

[Of course, feel free to check it out.]

Neither crows nor lizards have flexible tongues. Both parties use psychic energy to communicate quickly and efficiently.

The kobold behind them gave them a mold. This was a copper coin template they had made before, which was enough to prove their ability.

Even a familiar could not snatch the template from his hand. Even if there was a template but no mines, the template would be useless. He dared to show it to the other party with confidence.

I don't know if this beholder knows how to do it, but he did look around for a long time and nodded at the end.

"It is indeed a qualified mold. You don't need the finished product to know that the accuracy is good. Next, let's talk about the specific details? The return of this transaction is very large, very, very large. The income can easily be 100%, but it also comes at a price. I provide

A stand-in organization, and uses my channels to find customers to collect gold coins. You are responsible for recasting gold coins, and you will also come forward on some special occasions. After all, elves and unicorns are the most popular among 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 appropriately? 】

"Hahaha…"

It was foreseeable that what followed was an extremely long conversation. For the first time, Tang Zhao knew that the beholder could actually speak so well.

In the end, they failed to reach a consensus. Both Tang Zhao and Beholder thought that they should see the effect before deciding how much role the other party could play in the cooperation.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of 46 points is relatively high. After all, the beholder takes risks and has more to do than Tang Zhao and the others.

After the negotiation was completed, 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, donated in the name of the family.

Several carts of grain, a box of elven bread, some medicine and cloth, and finally some money, including two hundred royal gold coins.

There was neither too much nor too little, but considering that it was earned in vain, Tang Zhao felt that it was a lot.

There were both elves and humans in the transport team, and the elves among them came from the southern elf kingdom. When Oran was attacked, the elves were preparing supplies. At this time, the first batch had just arrived, and Olivia didn't know how to use it.

Is there any way to pluck out a batch of them and send them here?

From their mouths, Tang Zhao also learned the latest news from the royal capital.

The Marquis of Morvik committed suicide in fear of crime. His family was very large. Among them, the branch that was not clearly rebellious still retained the title, but was reduced to a count. The territory was only about a quarter of the previous one, mainly a seaport city and its surroundings.

The area is indeed a prosperous place, and the wealthy people have no worries about food and clothing, at least for the time being. I don't know if anyone will settle the score or add insult to injury.

The other marquis was even worse. Their cooperation with the devil went deeper and the things they did were more extreme. They even caused many blood sacrifices in the later period. The royal family showed no mercy to these people and the entire family was uprooted.

, only some viscounts and barons who have no deep relationship with the family are left.

At this moment, the main force of the royal family is already fighting the orcs on the front line. The human side is full of momentum and morale, and victory should not be difficult.
