Is the matter related to the light magician again? Is there something wrong with my eldest brother's brain? He would not say such things in front of me in the past. Is it because of the excitement he said about the ancestral talisman?

It's him? Impossible, he has a very good psychological quality.

Light magician? Linghu said to himself on the side, light magician, space magician and necromancer are the three rarest types of magicians. These three types of magicians are among the most rare.

At most, there are less than ten people in the entire continent, so such things are rare. Why would Li Cong look for such a person now? Everyone knows that he himself is a space magician.

There is also his master who never shows up. Speaking of which, the greatest prodigy in hundreds of thousands of years should be this guy’s master. Being an alchemist is already very rare. It’s really

Unexpectedly, he is also a space magician. Why does Li Cong want to find a light magician? It seems that there should be something very important, but he really has never heard of anything about light magicians.

Yes, such things are no longer accessible to the people of the Linghu family. In the past, their family was still the top in this continent, but now, haha, they themselves don’t believe that they have the top power.

They are all very clear about the strength. The Linghu family has become a complete second-rate force this time, but this is not bad. It is much better than the genocide at the beginning. Like the Tuoba family, at the beginning

When the Tuoba family was the most powerful, just like the Linghu family now, it could barely be regarded as a second-rate force on the entire continent, but their final results were not very good. The process of these two families has

They are surprisingly similar, but some of the prerequisites are different. In the end, the Tuoba family can only take away some of the elites of their own family. The remaining hundreds of thousands of family members are

Everyone is dead. This makes the entire Tuoba family become a third-rate force. Now except Tuoba Yuanye, who is still pretty good, the other people are not very good. Those people are just

It can be regarded as a generalization. Just a little stronger than an ordinary person who is a little more powerful. As for the other things, they have nothing. Thinking of this, Linghu is also very depressed. He made a wrong move in the past.

He had taken one step forward, and now he had to pay the price for it. He had been too impulsive in the past. If he could endure it honestly for a few years, it might not be him who started the war, but the original Eastern Empire.

Your Majesty, then you don’t need to lose so much. Although you still have your own territory on the surface, sooner or later it will be encroached by people from the Eastern Empire and the Cao Family Trading Company. Many people in the family will

He wanted to cheer up, but this cheering also required a lot of things. Just like now, the first reason why he came here was to send news to Li Cong, and the second reason was the request of the Linghu family. They

It requires a lot of naval warships. Although they also have their own docks, their own warships are really not that good. They are simply two worlds away from those warships manufactured by Cao's Trading Company.

Yes, the one from Cao's Trading Company is very powerful, but look at theirs? It's just a pile of rubbish.

"By the way, you are a busy man. I heard that people from the Eastern Empire have built two naval bases under your noses. What's wrong? You are not there to handle your own affairs. Come to me."

What are you doing here?" Li Cong thought for a while and then raised his head and saw the guy in front of him. Anyway, it was very good that someone sent this news to him all the way. He couldn't just tell him everything.

If you don't give it to others, they won't have such enthusiasm for doing things in the future. Li Cong explained the current situation of the guy in front of him in a few words. The reason why the Eastern Empire vigorously developed its navy, so let Dong

There are naval bases all over the coastal areas of the empire. The Eastern Empire has raised about 150 billion silver, and obtained about trillions of silver through loans from the Cao Family Bank. Their navy can be said to be very good.

Of course, the Eastern Empire could repay this money. In the inland areas of the Eastern Empire, they had a large area of ​​land, so they directly gave all the cultivated land to Li Cong, which was tens of billions of acres.

Li Cong also asked someone to look at the land. They were all high-quality land, but none of them had been cultivated. As long as someone does a little bit of work on such land, the rest will fall into place.

In fact, the guy in front of me also knew what Li Cong said. He also had another thing to say, which was the arms race they were engaged in. Of course, the target was the people of the Eastern Empire. In their

They already have nearly 200 million troops in the border areas, which is already a very powerful number. Their Linghu family only controls a total of fifty provinces with a population of about 6 billion. Now all the troops have arrived

400 million, there is already one soldier among fifteen people. It can be said that he has gone too far, but there is nothing he can do if he doesn't play like that. Now it is time to urgently, these people have already reached their

The border has reached the border. The Eastern Empire has such a big business that I don’t think there is anything wrong with this matter, but their Linghu Jia does not have so many assets. Just like now, there is a loan of about 70 billion silver that has already arrived to be repaid.

It's time, they will definitely not be able to repay the money. The money has been used to pay interest. The money will still be owed, but they still need more funds to build a naval base, which will require

The person who discussed this matter with Li Lai said that their total loan amount is nearly 7 trillion silver, and the annual interest is nearly 800 billion silver. Their total annual income of Linghujia is only this amount. If

If you continue to give them loans, you need Li Cong's consent. This is why this guy came here. How could he worry about things like money in the past, but now there is nothing he can do about it.

If there is no money yet, the soldiers will not be able to pay their military salaries after they return. The monthly military salary alone costs more than one billion yuan. Counting other expenses, this army will cost more than 100 million yuan every month.

They spend tens of billions of money, and it is already very difficult just to support them every year.

Li Cong had said before that the number of their troops was already a very dangerous thing. But they did not listen to Li Cong because they all felt the danger. The Eastern Empire's army was really too overwhelming.

, a not-so-good thing will happen in a few days. Although each conflict is not very big, they are still frightened. If the Eastern Empire deploys an additional 10,000 troops on the periphery, they will need to deploy 20,000 troops.

Because their army's combat effectiveness is really poor. There is nothing that can be done about it. Just like an archer, the archers of the three empires have to practice at least about two hundred times before going to the battlefield. Each time

They all need to shoot fifty bows and arrows. The number of archers in the Eastern Empire must reach more than three hundred times. It is estimated that Linghu Jia's army cannot even shoot fifty times. This is because they do not have enough funds.

The reason is that the military pay is different. The Linghu family's army pay is only half of the three emperors' armies, one-third of the Eastern Empire, and one-fifth of the Cao family's merchant army.

People are well fed, but not much money is given to them. There is still the threat of war every day. It would be a very strange thing if this can make people have high fighting power. In fact, this boy Linghu really wants to give it to him quickly.

They have some money, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice. How can he give them military pay when he has no money? When he came, some generals below had already told him that if military pay could not be paid, what would the soldiers in the army have?

This idea is beyond our control. When the time comes, you can just do it on your own. The generals of this army are really helpless. If you want the soldiers to go up and fight, you must first let them have no worries.

, and most of the troops of the Linghu family were captured, and they were not here voluntarily. No matter how they are trained, these people's hearts are not in this place. No matter what you say, it is all nonsense, but in the end

They just don’t want to come to you, so you have no other way, right? In the past, Li Cong also came up with a lot of ideas to solve Linghu Jia’s financial difficulties. The most important one was to let the Linghu family

The people have been laid off, so just withdraw part of the many troops and let the Cao Family Trading Company's troops help them guard the border. The Cao Family Trading Company doesn't need to send out many troops, and they don't need any money from the Linghu family.

They just wanted a garrison right. The Linghu family refused such a thing directly. What a joke. As long as people from the Cao family business come in, this last place will not be saved, and it is impossible to remain.

They belong to the Linghu family. Everyone can see the ambition of the Cao family business. This is a soft knife to kill people. After that time when he proposed it and was rejected, Li Cong never mentioned it again, so this

I'm just waiting for this guy to speak. It's impossible to ask for money for the time being. Let's see if you can give us something useful. Although the relationship between the two of us is good, if neither of us is satisfied

In reply, I cannot continue to provide you with assistance. I also need to eat, and I have to answer to the people below.

"The most important thing when I come to your place, brother, is naturally the matter about the ancestral talisman. Now that brother has already made his own plans, I feel relieved. Besides, there are still some gossips that need to be said.

Talk to the elder brother." This guy was looking at Li Cong when he spoke. Li Cong was also confused. When he called him brothers before, this guy was considered a good person. Why did he change now?

It's so cunning. Such a thing is not a good thing. It is not a good thing for anyone. Such changes are not what Li Cong wants to see. This guy in front of him is really

I don’t know what to say to him. After seeing Li Cong nodding, this guy felt a little depressed. Shouldn’t such negotiations be equal? ​​I don’t know since when I and the big brother in front of me have not been equal.

Well, when I first met him, he didn't have the ability he has now. At that time, Li Cong was just a slightly stronger person. Now it seems that Li Cong at that time has passed. Now

Even though he is a very strong man, he can no longer look at others with the same eyes as before. Now is not the time to think about these problems. This guy quickly said, "Brother, I don't know. The pressure on me recently from the Eastern Empire is not just...

Those two naval bases also made a lot of moves even on land. It was agreed at the beginning that no one could enter the border area, and the army was the most important. However, one of their cavalry regiments openly crossed the border.

Now, I can't take this tone, so I let my army have some conflicts with his army. Now the scale has reached more than millions of people. This money is the most important thing first and foremost. I have a sum of money there that I want to

I want to repay a loan of 70 billion yuan to my eldest brother. I wonder if my eldest brother can take a break?" It turned out that this was what happened after a long time. Li Cong didn't show any expression. He knew that this day would come sooner or later.

Such things can happen. Your Linghu family no longer has the ability to occupy such a large land. Besides, the people in the Eastern Empire are not fools. They feel that it is better to give your land to the people of the Cao Family Trading Company.

If you can't even see this, it's really unqualified. Although Li Cong understands these things, Li Cong can't give him this money.

Yes, so Li Cong is ready to refuse. The Eastern Empire needs benefits, and we also need them, especially the benefits from loans, which must be taken. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster.
