Chapter 186: The Law of the Three Chapters
Chapter 186: Three Laws
Katherine's performance surprised Zhao Feng a little. The girl in front of her was not as simple as she looked. She naturally had her own strengths to be able to become the queen of a country.
"No, your magic level is pretty good!" Looking at Catherine's performance, Zhao Feng praised her and then accelerated to chase her.
This time, he adopted the fighting style that Bernice once taught her, and his speed and movement were very elegant, and he quickly intercepted Catherine.
"But I can still hold you, cousin." After saying that, Zhao Feng hugged Catherine directly to the waist that could not dodge. At this time, Catherine, who was very fast, had no time to dodge and directly knocked down his arms.
Facing Zhao Feng's bold moves, Catherine's eyes showed a hint of disgust, and she regarded Zhao Feng as a lustful person like an ordinary nobleman.
However, this trace of disgust only flashed by. As the queen of the Principality of Carlo, she quickly concealed the disgust and dissatisfaction in her eyes, and then became a clever smile.
She bumped into Zhao Feng's arms, not only did not struggle to leave, but instead lay directly in Zhao Feng's arms, looking indulgent and said, "Cousin, is it comfortable to hug?"
At this time, she showed a hint of unrestrained appearance. She didn't look like a fifteen-year-old girl at all, but looked like a mature woman.
Although she covered up very well, Zhao Feng still guessed her nervous mood from her stiff body reaction. After all, it was still a bit difficult to call an uninformed girl and pretend to be a slutty woman.
Catherine concealed it very well, but Zhao Feng's heart is very delicate now. He has long observed his words and expressions and understood that she is not as simple as it seems.
"Comfortable."
Zhao Feng remained silent and let go of Catherine and said seriously: "Cousin, why did you invite me to come this time? It's not as simple as recognizing your relatives!"
At this time, he decided to clarify the topic and no longer hide it.
Seeing that Zhao Feng was not tempted by him, Catherine acted very calmly, and put away the disguise on her face and said, "This time, I want to ask you to do a favor, cousin!"
"What a favor, just say it, if I can help, if I can, I'm sorry if I exceed my ability!"
Zhao Feng said nothing.
Catherine pondered for a moment and said, "That's right. You should know this war between Carlo and you Mondra this time! In the end, we Carlo lost. But the trouble comes, because we need war compensation. But the bosses of the major chambers of commerce here are unwilling to raise money for me."
"What did you ask me to do?" Zhao Feng asked, "What are I here to help you?"
Catherine said: "Those people rely on their outstanding force and act recklessly. And there is too little power I can use! So, I hope you can help me raise funds."
"Caising funds means raising debts?" Zhao Feng was a little surprised when he heard this request. At this time, he did not expect Catherine to hand over this errand to him.
This reminded him of the debt collection company composed of men in black clothes wearing suits and tie on TV. No matter how you look, he is not the kind of person with a vicious face!
When Katherine heard Zhao Feng's words, she smiled and said, "Actually, she shouldn't say that, she just asked them to fulfill their obligations. Your reputation has spread throughout Carlo! If you do this, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
After saying that, Catherine handed Zhao Feng a list with a long list and the amount of debts that each chamber of commerce had to pay.
Zhao Feng looked carefully and found that the amount of compensation here was very large, and the total number was tens of millions of gold coins. This number was an astronomical number.
The names of the chambers of commerce above are also famous. On the Chaos Continent, these chambers of commerce are the most powerful among the three major priests.
Even if the empire's power changes, it is difficult to affect these chambers of commerce. These monopoly chaebols are like those wealthy families in later generations, with strong strength and connections.
A relatively loose political system like the Principal of Carlo has no choice but to do with these families. If they anger them, it will even cause turmoil in the empire.
However, Catherine is now in trouble. Although the Principality of Carlo is rich, the royal family is not rich. Carlo's treasury only has tens of millions of gold coins, but the war compensation Mondra requested this time is 100 million gold coins. If this number is not available, Mondra threatens to directly attack Carlo and kill the prisoners captured in the war at his hands.
Among these prisoners, many of them had high status, most of whom were children of some nobles in Carlo, and were disciples or relatives of the Principal Senate and various ministers.
If these people are killed, Catherine may have to accept violent impeachment and her position as the queen will not be able to be saved.
Thinking of this, Catherine was extremely bored. However, it was also very difficult to collect money from these large chambers of commerce in China.
Merchants value profits, so if you ask them to pay so much money for nothing, they will naturally not be happy. These chambers of commerce are very powerful and do not buy the account of her, the queen.
And the weak Catherine fell into trouble.
No matter how outstanding her plan was, no matter how deep she was in her scheming, there was no chance to deal with these merchants. She had thought of solving the problem through force, but there were not many powerful people in her hands, and her fists were not as strong as those chamber of commerce guards.
As for the army, she, the queen, could not be mobilized without the consent of the Senate.
On the surface, she looks very glorious, but the queen of Catherine is very sad and helpless. It feels very uncomfortable to be regarded as a puppet.
For the Chamber of Commerce, the huge sum of tens of millions of gold coins and thousands of prisoners is naturally better.
The life and death of those people has nothing to do with them.
If those prisoners are killed and the public is infuriated, at worst, you can change the queen and use Catherine as a scapegoat. Who said she is the queen?
After reading these, Zhao Feng understood Catherine's dilemma.
"You want me to ask for this money for you? What's the benefit for me?" Zhao Feng knew that Catherine asked her to do these things, and she would definitely promise the conditions.
Now he just sees what price she offers and what conditions to impress himself. After all, there is no free lunch in the world. If you want to ask him to do things, at least you have to show sincerity, just verbal promises will not be possible.
Although Zhao Feng was young, he was not confused by the beauty and was fooled by a few words, regardless of the southeast, west and north.
Seeing Zhao Feng staring at him and not easily agreeing, Catherine knew that the cousin in front of her was not someone who could easily fool him.
However, she really didn't promise anything to Zhao Feng.
"Cousin, as long as you help me complete this, you can do whatever you want, isn't it okay?" At this time, she still planned to fool her.
Although Catherine is only fourteen years old, she has a great charm, and every move shows her charm. She has learned charm and knows how to seduce men.
Since the queens of the Principality of Carlo had no practical rights, they could only use their own capital to strengthen training in this area and win people's hearts.
However, Zhao Feng was not as happy as a beauty at this time.
Bernese's affairs had a great impact on his mood. Now he doesn't want these things at all, but just wants to work hard to improve his strength.
"Speak something practical! Otherwise, I won't agree to you." Zhao Feng stared at the beautiful Catherine, unmoved at all, with ice in his eyes.
Catherine used this temptation in front of strangers for the first time, but Zhao Feng was unmoved and was very depressed by himself, feeling that his charm was not enough.
"Can I say that my appearance is not good enough? It's not tempting enough!"
The teachers who taught her told her that there are no men in this world who are not tempted, but only women who are not charming enough. Thinking of these, she was a little depressed.
"Okay, please tell me the conditions yourself. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to promise you."
Hearing Catherine's words, Zhao Feng nodded and said, "Okay, first of all, I ask for 10% of this loan to be my personal income."
"Ten percent, that's just a few million gold coins, your appetite is a little too big!" Catherine said coldly when she heard Zhao Feng's words.
"These money is all in amounts, and it is used to return your Mondra's repayment. If it is less, your negotiating experts will not agree!"
Zhao Feng said: "This is easy to deal with. You can increase your budget. I'll help you get more points!"
"It's so difficult to get this money. If the amount is increased, those businessmen will not agree!" Catherine said angrily when she heard Zhao Feng's words.
But after thinking about it, she said, "Okay, I promise you."
She understood that if Zhao Feng could get the money and take away some of his belongings, it would be fine. If he didn't come, even if the conditions she promised would be in vain.
"Second, I'm in Carlo and I'm not restricted. I hope you don't interfere with my actions!" Zhao Feng continued.
Catherine nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Third, I will adjust the above conditions at any time. If there is something, I will discuss it with you." Zhao Feng said the third condition again.
"Okay, is there any?" Catherine nodded, looking obedient.
Zhao Feng shook his head and said, "That's all, nothing!"
Katherine said: "These conditions are easy to say, and I promise you all, as long as you can help me. I will support whatever conditions you need."
"That's fine!"
Zhao Feng smiled and said, "Give me a list, I'll find a way to see how to ask for money from those businessmen. This is quite challenging!"
He never thought that one day he would become such a status, become a thug, and help others collect money.
