Chapter 77 Use of Funds


To be honest, people who are very hungry should not actually eat hard food. otbnkotgt In fact, if it were not for the healing magic of the military chaplains, these people would really die.

As for why these priests treated the bandits, it was naturally because of Father Peter's order.

This person, who even William couldn't understand, quickly understood William's intention after thinking about it for a moment after William ordered to capture as many prisoners as possible.

These prisoners still have to live.

They cannot die.

Or at least, they couldn't just die pointlessly.

Their lives are valuable, and letting these valuable things go to waste is not in line with the teachings of the Lord.

In addition, intentional destruction, destruction, or simply having bad intentions towards these "things" is also a great sin.

Because these things are all the private property of William, their commander.

That's it, although Father Peter's words made William feel uncomfortable.

But yes, at least what he did actually worked.

As expected, the peasant soldiers, reserve soldiers, and even the private guards under his command valued and cared more about "destroying the lord's property" than "taking human life lightly."

And even more afraid to do so.

Under such circumstances, William had to temporarily give up correcting Father Peter's words.

At the same time, the judgment of the priest's "ability" was once again raised to a higher level.

Speaking of which, William had discussed this with the priest before.

After the matter is over, it is necessary to talk openly and honestly.

And now it seems that it is indeed time to talk.

Of course, before that, there are other, more important things to do.

That's the spoils.

Booty booty booty.

In a sense, down to the soldier and up to the commander.

The whole army risked their lives and fought hard for what, but just the spoils of war.

Even if this kind of thing is postponed for hundreds of years, even if it changes to another world, even if it rises to the level and perspective of a country, it will still be the same.

For example, take Germany during World War I.

Did those Germanic people take the wrong medicine?

They are so happy to challenge the two traditional European powers of Britain and France at the same time.

Of course not, they want the spoils.

Booty booty booty.

They wanted vast colonies in Africa and South Asia.

They want the title of world hegemon, sphere of influence, compensation for defeat and countless other benefits.

The entire country, from the emperor down to the beggars, all wanted these things.

So, since Emperor William was of this virtue.

Of course, we can't blame this time period, this era and this world, the knight William also cares about this.

Although he won’t be as embarrassed as Little John, laughing and saying, “Great harvest, great harvest, I’m getting rich.”

But in actual psychology, there is not much difference between William and Little John.

It couldn't be more correct to annihilate this entire force this time.

Although the wealth obtained cannot be said to be piled up like a mountain.

But it did greatly ease the tight financial situation of the Earl of Chersk.

A large amount of coins, just the large ones, could fill three boxes.

It weighs a hundred kilograms.

The problem is that these coins have different face values, weights, fineness, and wear and tear.

In addition to the Wende gold coins that hold the most value, there are also various gold coins from the Kingdom of Ruthenia, from the Polotsk Autonomous State in the north, and even from Tartariya.

Some of these gold coins are pure gold, some are gold and silver alloys, and some are gold and copper alloys.

Its value is really hard to judge.

Similar situations exist with other silver coins and copper coins.

In addition to money, the value of other metal ornaments, gold and silver jewelry, diamonds, jewelry, gold-plated vases, sterling silver tableware, etc. is even more difficult to estimate.

To make matters worse, those guys also got something that was even rarer and whose value was harder to judge.

There are porcelain, glass, and enamel vases, small furnishings, tableware and other handicrafts, oil paintings, and precious wool carpets, silk fabrics, etc.

Of course, talking about carpets, fabrics and the like.

A lot of it has been stained.

It was even destroyed, mainly because people needed to use these things to keep warm during previous snowstorms.

In addition, some oil paintings, expensive wooden furniture and wooden crafts were also destroyed.

That's because the bandits chopped these things up and used them as firewood when it was extremely cold.

If the only thing whose value can be directly estimated is those gold ingots.

These are made of pure gold and weigh about five kilograms.

I don’t know if it’s for storage or for minting coins.

Because its original owner has disappeared without a trace, no one will know about it.

Of course, its current owner, William, doesn't care too much about this.

That's it, that's it.

Most of the property looted by the rebels had been delivered to William and Shalomi.

It was then boxed up and locked, ready for transport back to Chersk.

Speaking of which, before this, William used various methods to kill Chersk's tax collector, housekeeper, financial officer and others.

So at this moment, in the desperate situation, there are only a few people left in the territory who can accurately identify the value of this money.

Of course, William felt, even if those people are still alive now.

They are also unlikely to be capable enough to do the job well.

"That is to say, we have to wait until that guy, the businessman John, comes here before we can figure out the value of these things.

But if that guy is cheating me here, then the matter will be different.

In other words, he is not cheating.

It’s strange that you should find a financial person you can trust.

The question is, where can I find such talents?”

William fell into the trouble of happiness.

Then I discovered that I had a second trouble that was not very happy.

That is Sharumi.

Shalumi looked equally excited.

But William understood that there was some "difference" between Shalumi's excitement and his own.

Needless to say, the same thing goes without saying, everyone will feel happy when they make money.

In different places, William naturally understood how to spend the money.

There are certain differences between the two sides.

For William, it was natural that this money should be invested in armaments.

Part of it was used as funds to train the army, purchase and manufacture weapons, and recruit talents.

The other part was reserved as the cost of temporarily hiring mercenary troops.

For Shalumi, this windfall probably has no other purpose other than squandering it.

Buying new clothes, new jewelry, renovating a house, building a garden, etc., in short, the money just seems to be more, but when used, it will feel less.

It's such a strange thing.

Although Shalumi has not said such words at this time.

But William knew Shalumi so well that it was impossible not to know what she was thinking.

Under normal circumstances, it would not be impossible to give some money to Shalumi.

But at this time, William couldn't wait to break a penny into two and spend it.

Naturally, you don't want to throw money away where it shouldn't be used.

However, Shalumi is not an ordinary person after all.

It seems that the money is not so much his as it is Shalumi's.

After all, she is the Countess of Chersk.

And William is just his subordinate.

Therefore, William decided to have a good talk with Shalumi about this matter, and it would be best to gain her understanding.

Of course, if Shalumi insisted on messing around, William would have no choice but to bite the bullet.

If she feels unhappy, the most she can do is coax her out later.

If the centaurs of Tartaria were allowed to attack, everything would be over.

So, William began to look for topics: "Speaking of it, Charlotte."

William said to Charlotte while checking the account books: "You said, these people clearly don't even have enough food in their stomachs.

They almost don't have the strength to walk.

Why are they still there?"

You have to bring so much money with you.”

"Is this it?"

Of course Shalumi couldn't answer.

"Don't you think this is stupid?"

William continued: "Sacrifice your life for the immediate benefit."

"That seems to be the case," Shalumi said uncertainly.

"In addition, there is also the original owner of these treasures.

That Count Baudelaire is probably not too smart."

William said to Chalumi: "Look, he has accumulated so much wealth.

But In the end, he couldn't even save his own life.

Do you think this is putting the cart before the horse?"

"That seems to be the case," Shalumi said hesitantly.

Hearing that Chalumi agreed with his words, William was even happier.

Then he continued his efforts and decided to convince Chalumi as soon as possible: "That's right.

So, if this person could spend more money on military equipment, his fate might not be like this.

Think about it.

If he had enough standing soldiers .

Or if he paid to hire enough mercenaries, then what is a rogue army?

Isn’t this the truth?”

Although Shalumi's reaction was slow, she was not an idiot.

After listening to William say a bunch of things about this and that, I probably knew what William meant. 160420oshow7:
