Chapter 84 He must die alone! (First order requested)

"Uh... Paris will be a little more. Each ECU will cost you one sou (1/66). However, what makes Paris better than London is that the draw method is to draw when the money is given, and the money is not collected." Rieux blinked.

He blinked and replied.

Alphonse naturally understood it, which meant that he didn’t touch a dime when he got the money, but since it was given to Alphonse, Alphonse had better give him some “official money”!<

/p>

"Brother!" At this moment, Christina walked over lazily with her hands on her back. Seeing that Rie still had boxes on the ground, she immediately blinked her eyes and smiled half-heartedly at Rie; then she saw him again

An, who was sitting next to Alphonse, started to look ugly...

"Tina, come here, this is Sir Virgeri, whom you have met. You want to say hello." Alphonse turned around and smiled: "How was your tutoring class? This is Ann, you can call me Ann.

Miss, you can also call me sister."

"Good afternoon, Sir Virgeri." Christina said hello to Lie, but as if she didn't see An, she walked over to herself, pointed at An and said: "Hey, this is my place, get out of the way.

."

"Don't make trouble, Tina." Alphonse rolled his eyes, and then said: "An is my girlfriend, An, this is my sister, Tina, Kristina, you should get along well with each other."<

/p>

"Dream!" Ann and Kristina replied in unison. Next to him, Rie turned his head and looked away. He was having a hard time holding back his laughter, and Alphonse also looked embarrassed...

"Go, bad woman, don't try to steal my brother, he is a millionaire! He must die alone so that I can inherit his inheritance." Christina continued to do things.

"Go away! You are the one who will die alone." Alfonse rolled his eyes, carried Christina to the other side, and separated her from An.

"You're right. If he doesn't die alone, then maybe I will inherit the inheritance." An hummed in Alphonse's arms.

"You have nothing but your skin, you don't deserve an inheritance!" Christina said loudly.

"At least I still have a beautiful skin, but you don't." An said tit for tat.

"You have to do it. Maybe you will die earlier than him. Then not only will he die alone, but your inheritance will also belong to me!" Kristina also hummed, being young means having confidence!

"You died early!" An shouted angrily. She was indeed a few years older than Alphonse, but not much older!

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, Tina was just joking." Alphonse hugged An and smiled, then directly changed the topic and said: "Sir Vigeri, how about the sample artillery sent last time? Earl?

Are you satisfied, sir?"

"Of course, His Majesty the Count has also written you a letter." Rieux quickly took out a letter and handed it to Alphonse, and then started talking about the test firing of artillery in Paris: "You don't know, His Majesty was in Versailles

Test firing of artillery over there..."

Just when Rie told Alphonse and others about the test firing of the artillery,

Santorini from the bank also rushed to Alphonse's mansion with a few assistants. Although he was surprised that Alphonse, a big boss, could easily make hundreds of thousands of money, Santorini still started to work conscientiously for Alphonse.

It’s all about money.

At this time, the box was opened, and Alphonse suddenly realized how much trouble Colbert or the French Ministry of Finance had: the currency in the box ranged from gold Louis, gold Ecu, silver Ecu, livre, franc to copper sous.

From Dutch guilders, Spanish eight-point gold coins, Italian lira to gold florins, we have it all!

The gold and silver content of these currencies vary, the exchange rates also fluctuate, and the currency value is still different from the actual value. Moreover, it is necessary to identify the authenticity and weigh the grams... Alphonse has no confidence in the actual amount received, even if

He only received 250,000 livres, so he didn't feel strange at all...

"How have you been in Amsterdam recently? You seem to have lost a lot of weight?" Alphonse turned to look at An and asked, not only to care about An, but also to reveal information to Rie: he is now expanding into the Netherlands.

business!

"Not only have I lost weight, I don't know how much I've tanned." An Cai said coquettishly, and Kristina stabbed her again: "A dark and thin old woman, just like a mummy."

"What did you say?!" An's small universe suddenly exploded again!

"Mr. Alfred, is lunch ready?" Alphonse couldn't stop the two women from tit-for-tat, so he could only quickly change the topic to prevent the two women from fighting...

After four hours of counting, Santorini finally completed the statistics of these coins, but what is interesting is that the calculated money was actually more, with a value of up to 300,400 livres, and there was an extra 400 livres.

, the reason is also dumbfounding: because the livre’s exchange rate has fallen again recently...

The kings these days only waste money, and when they are short of money, they extract seigniorage. To put it simply, they mint gold and silver coins with worse quality. Originally, a silver coin contained 86% silver, but now it is directly minted to 83%. You cut corners on the 3%.

In the future, not only coins with 83% silver content will depreciate, but those with 86% silver content will also depreciate...

"Mr. Santorini, please keep the extra 400 livres and take the rest back to the bank. By the way, prepare 4,500 livres of bank bonds for Sir Vigeri." Alphonse thought for a moment and said.

He said, then turned to look at Rie and said with a smile: "Can you look at the bond? There is an additional 8% annual interest. When you need money urgently, you can just cash it in."

"This...I can't accept this." He might have to hang out with Alphonse in Calais in the future. Although this is thousands of livres of money, at this time, he should still refuse.

"Don't refuse in a hurry. This is not money for you, but for your friends. We are already friends. Of course I won't ask you for help by giving money." Alphonse said with a smile:

"I have a younger brother who is going to Paris Law School. He is my father's godson and a very outstanding child; but you know, in Paris, I probably only know you.

So when you return to Paris, I would like to ask you to help send him to Paris. After arriving in Paris, I will also entrust you to find a friend to take care of my brother at the law school. If the money is not enough, you can write to me, okay?

?"

"That's right! That's no problem. Your brother's affairs are naturally my business." Rie was relieved when he heard this. He had something to ask for help, so he could feel free to accept the payment.

Besides, Colbert himself said that as long as Alphonse cooperates, he can gain his friendship with Duke Letelier. Isn’t this friendship enough for the law school to take care of Alphonse’s younger brother? Thinking of this, he

He said confidently: "Can I meet this handsome man? I can tell him some things first."

"Of course, I will hold a dinner party in the evening, and both he and his father will come. If you have anything that should be paid attention to, you can tell him; I will let him do it and try not to cause you any trouble."

Fang Si smiled and said, "If you're okay, why don't we go have a drink first?"

"No, no, I have to find a hotel to take a rest first. You don't know, but I've been exhausted these past few days. I haven't dared to close my eyes all day and night!" Rieux replied with a grimace.

"Then I will send you to Calais House, your original room. You can come and check in at any time in the future." Alphonse smiled and replied: "There will be a banquet at home in the evening, and you must be sure to enjoy it.

Ah!"

"This is nature, this is nature, we will definitely arrive, we will definitely arrive..." Rie laughed loudly and replied. Accompanied by Alphonse, he went out and took Artoo's carriage to the hotel. As for the carriage he brought,

Naturally, I followed behind...

When Alphonse returned to the hall, he saw Christina squatting in front of the box containing more than four hundred livres left by Alphonse Jean, as if she wanted to grab a handful, while Ann and Alfred were determined to

Staring at her so hard that she couldn't do anything.

"Mr. Alfred, please follow the original rules and give everyone in the house a little happiness." Alphonse replied with a smile. Santorini and the others have already left, so the reward will be saved.

.

"Brother, can you give me some pocket money?" Hearing Alphonse say this, Christina immediately blinked her eyes, looked at Alphonse cutely and said coquettishly.

"Mr. Alfred will give you 2 livres of pocket money." Alphonse smiled.

"How is this enough? You are so rich, give me more." Christina replied.

"Then how much do you want?" Alphonse smiled.

"How about 5 gold coins?" Christina blinked.

"Go and grab a handful. I'll give you as many as you can, but you're not allowed to grab them again and again." Alphonse pointed at the box of coins and replied with a smile. If she wasn't allowed to grab a handful, she might not be able to sleep all night.

Not available.

"That's great!" Christina was so happy that she almost jumped up, but then she realized that her hand seemed a bit small, and she should find the best angle to copy it!

"I want it too." When An saw that the crying child had milk, she immediately followed suit.

"Then you go and grab a handful." Alphonse laughed.

"No, her hands are bigger than mine, so she can only grab half a handful!" Upon hearing this, Kristina screamed.

"Children don't need that much money. You don't have room to spend it." An took advantage of this and retorted.

"This doesn't work, don't worry about whether I spend it or not, it must be fair anyway!" Christina said loudly.

"Then what do you want?" An rolled her eyes and replied.

"It's easy, brother, come and grab a handful for me, a full handful!" Kristina immediately stared at Alphonse's big hand.

"No! His hands are bigger than mine, so I'll be at a disadvantage!" An Ye shouted.

"Stop!" Seeing that there was enough money to start a quarrel, Alphonse quickly stopped between the two of them, went up and held a large handful of sixty or seventy coins, and then said: "Tina, you can share the two coins."

Make a pile, and then let An choose a pile first, and the rest is yours."

"Why did she choose first?" Kristina said loudly and dissatisfied.

"Then you divide it up, and Tina chooses first." Alphonse couldn't laugh or cry.

"Then why should she choose first?" An became dissatisfied again.

"You can make up your own mind. If the division is unfair, she will definitely suffer a loss if she chooses later. Anyway, whoever divides the money will get a share later." Alphonse waved his hand and asked Alfred to come up and collect the other gold coins.

He moved down with Lever and went back to the study by himself. It was time for him to read what Colbert wrote in the letter to him.
