Chapter 111 Don't leave

"ah……"

"Usually, each chamber of commerce operates independently. Each chamber of commerce has its own fields of operation, such as some do fur business, some do tobacco business. There are conflicts and cooperation between chambers of commerce, but overall, they are closer to a group of passers-by. If there is anything profitable, they will gather together to act, but in any case they will constrain each other." Ashrufate said. "The earliest situation was that. In such a situation, if a king relied on debt after borrowing money from the chamber of commerce... then the chamber of commerce has no choice. At least in most cases, the king only loses the credit of borrowing money."

Ashu Rufat paused.

"... Unfortunately, a silverfish chamber of commerce suddenly appeared," he continued. "Your Majesty should know that although the silverfish chamber of commerce also operates a variety of businesses... their main businesses are deposits, money lending and money scheduling, and of course issuance and promotion of Jin Oli. Any merchant will need to borrow money, which is easy to understand - when a business opportunity appears in front of him, there is not enough money in his hand, which is very common. But in this way, because basically any chamber of commerce has more or less business dealings with the silverfish chamber, and now... with the silverfish chamber of commerce as the core, a network of relationships has been formed."

The little girl listened carefully and did not interrupt.

"If the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce was a chamber of commerce that had no other purpose than making money, then maybe things wouldn't be so bad. But the reality is that the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce seemed to have other goals besides making money. At least they could be considered not the kind of merchants who stared at the fucking profits and were short-sighted. If such debts occur now... the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce will come forward and organize a real commercial blockade. In recent years, at least three such incidents have happened. Every time the merchants won a great victory. To be honest, the damage caused by the commercial blockade is only a little worse than that of war... It is said that a great nobleman in the Kingdom of Polis, whose name seems to be Rhone or something, was deprived of his territory because of the commercial blockade."

"Will...will there be such a thing? How is it possible? Deprive the territory?"

"To be specific, it was the Lord Rona... who borrowed about eight million Jin Oli from various chambers of commerce... and then announced the debt." Ashu Rufate said. "Then under the leadership of the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce, the merchants united and formed a strict alliance. From that day on, all the activities guided by the chambers disappeared in the territory of the Lord Rona."

"What impact will that... have?

"There are few places in the world that can produce everything, and there is always something that is lacking. Although the territory of the Lord Rona is not small and there is enough grain output, they do not produce salt or iron. These two things must be transported by merchants from other places. The Union of Chambers of Commerce suppressed and won over small and medium-sized merchants, resulting in the inability to input salt and iron tools... Such a blockade immediately caused a situation of people's miserable life and even triggered rebellion. The final result was that the king of Polis believed that the Lord Rona lacked the rule.

The power of governance ordered his territory to be deprived and his property was confiscated. Then the king paid the debt in installments and calmed the whole incident. "Ashurufat said. "These things I heard from a business friend, who is a very honest businessman, so I can guarantee that this is not a rumor. Your Majesty, if the merchants use commercial blockade to deal with us now... plus Byron, Rafa, and others... we probably have no chance."

"Then... what should we do?" the little girl asked uneasily. Unlike Byron's time in politics, Ashu Rufate would report to her various tasks every other day, so she was very clear about the current situation.

"Repay debts...there is no choice but to repay debts." Ashrufate said. "Don't worry," as he said this, a chilling look flashed in his eyes. "I promised that I will lend you all my strength."

"Is there any courage and wisdom like Garunas?" the little girl mustered up her courage and asked.

"I'm much better than Garunas." Ashu Rufat smiled, his hand shook, and the Withering Sword appeared in his hand, and then disappeared in the next moment. "Garunas only has wisdom and courage, and I still have the sword in my hand, the magic in my heart, and..."

His last sentence was too light. Although the little girl listened carefully, she still couldn't hear it clearly.

...

At this moment, in a house in front of this "temporary palace", a group of young people were chatting there. As mentioned earlier, the former Regent's mansion has been divided into three parts, and this is the office space.

All the people gathered here were newly appointed officials - because Ashu Rufate alone served all the senior positions, they theoretically all were middle-level officials. However, it was already evening, and there were some young people with overenergy here.

"Athor, you're back." Someone shouted to a colleague who had just entered the door. "How is the situation?"

"It's a good situation," replied the man named Ator. "Our Eush Rufat went to see the Queen. No matter what, he could not sleep when he saw the Queen, right?"

"That's right, so..."

"Earl Ashurufat has not been asleep for twenty-four hours." Someone answered next to him.

"But he looks like he's not tired at all."

"Hey, it's not a big deal to not sleep a day or a night. I've also heard of people who haven't sleeped for three days or three nights..."

"Yes, I have also heard of it. Not to mention three days and three nights, there are also powerful people who don't sleep for four days and four nights." Another person said with a smile. "But to be honest, I haven't really heard of anyone who doesn't sleep for ten days and ten nights."

They laughed and laughed. This is something that all the officials agreed on now - isn't Ashu Rufate a power madman? Then let him take power. At this moment, when the king's power is rebuilt, and when the work tasks of more than ten ministers are pressed on one person, what's happening now: he has no time to sleep at all.

Everyone was patiently waiting for Ashurufate to exhaust himself. Ator was one of Ashurufate's secretary and was also responsible for file management. All kinds of reports, requests, emergency information, etc. that everyone brought were sent by Ator to Ashurufate's case.

"Speaking of this, it seems that Earl Ashu Rufat has no food either." Another person said.

"There must be no time for formal drinking and dining. But isn't he a mercenary? It's normal to carry jerky, a kettle, etc. with him, and it's normal to eat and drink while working." A loud voice answered.

"Hey, Ator, can that Ashu Rufat really handle so many things?"

"The speed is quite fast," Athor replied. "But don't worry."

To be honest, Ator was a little worried at the beginning that Ashu Rufate was a genius - although no one had seen it, there were indeed some special people in the world. Some people could remember the books they had read once and memorize them in a complete manner. Some could read the complex business reports that ordinary people need to take a day to read clearly within a few minutes and find the core key. Some could read the thick books that ordinary people spend a day to read in an hour - although there are few such geniuses, you must never deny their existence. But Ashu Rufate is not such a genius. Although he is very fast in processing documents, how can a person's work speed be comparable to dozens of people? It is true that as a superior, Ashu Rufate's work may be relatively easy, but it is enough to make him have no time to sleep.

While speaking, a messenger at the door hurried in, "An emergency from the south!" Before he finished speaking, another person followed. "The archives of officials across the country have finally been sorted out. The basic information of the southern officials pointed out by Earl Ashurufat has also been listed."

"I have also made the first draft of the annual budget for the Falcon City and the nation's future." said a middle-aged man in a room slowly. "Everyone piled up the things and handed them all to Ator. Our Earl of Ashurufat ended his visit to the Queen. When we came out, we had to pile his desk with documents."

Everyone laughed.

"Hey, everyone has rested, and they are about to work. Earl Ashurufat is working hard day and night, so we can't fall behind!" Another person proposed. This proposal received many responses.

Indeed, with a common goal, everyone is working hard now. The establishment of the new court, all kinds of things are complicated, and all require the decision of ministers and even the queen. Since Ash Rufate alone wants to take on all the positions of ministers, then just choke him to death! Everyone thinks this way.

...

"Well, Ashu Rufat, what do you think about my rule?" the little girl asked.

"About a month," Ash Rufate replied. "Then you can almost complete the basic work. At that time... you can also see who has the ability in actual work. Then you should be able to free me from such a complicated part-time job." Ash Rufate replied.

"Can you have Byron's spies lurking in it? What if I appoint that kind of person?"

"Don't be afraid," Ash Rufate replied. "Even if there are Byron's spies, they are the kind of spies who are inquiring about the news. Your Majesty, as long as you firmly grasp the army and finances, no spy can do much damage."

"What should we do next?"
