Chapter 2858 gossip

Rosa returned to the castle while talking and laughing with Smallt. Smallt didn't know what Rosa thought, but she was very happy that Rosa could go to his castle to stay.

However, after hearing Bai Chen's words, Rosa was always worried and very uneasy.

If this matter of her is exposed and if it is implicated in the family because of this matter, it will completely go against her original intention.

"Duke, are you very familiar with that kid?"

Smallt frowned: "Miss Rosa, that's the little prince. Wu Tang is the country of the Heavenly Kingdom. That little prince will become the emperor of Wu Tang in the future. So be polite. You should know that Wu Tang is very afraid of the title of the royal family. When it is time to use the title of respect, you must use the title of respect, and you must not neglect at any time."

"Yes, I'm speechless."

Rosa could feel that Smallt was in awe of Bai Chen from the bottom of his heart.

"Then are you familiar with him?"

"Of course I'm familiar with it." Smallt said proudly.

"The little prince's identity is indeed noble, but I feel that his personality seems..." Rosa said as obscure as possible, so as not to make any taboos in front of Smaller again.

"What's wrong with the personality? That's how the superiors are. Yesterday I invited him to visit my house. He had no reason to kill one of my servants."

"Why?"

"I said that there is no reason for this, and his identity does not require any reason. He has the qualifications and powers."

"Then you kill that servant?"

"I have wanted to kill that servant, but I happened to be named by the little prince, so I killed him."

"Why?"

"That guy did something outside in my name, which was not a glorious thing. Originally, I planned to let him kill him after the past six months, which saved him half a year's salary."

"Well... Lord Duke, isn't it just half a year's salary? Are you there?"

"You don't know how high the salary in Edinburgh is now. Just the personal soldiers who followed me will give you one or two silver dollars every month! And it's Wu Tang's banknotes."

"One tael of silver? Are you too generous?"

"I can't do anything about it. Now if you don't have a high salary, no one is willing to come."

"Is the Wutang Consulate forced you?"

"It's true..."

Rosa interrupted Smallt's words and said indignantly: "How dare they do this? This is your territory!"

"Ah? No... I haven't finished speaking, why are you in a hurry?" Smallt rolled his eyes.

"They forced you to pay high salaries to your personal soldiers, which is not taking you seriously. What else can I say?"

"Haha...you don't know this. It's not just my personal soldiers. All my troops have a minimum monthly salary of more than 700 cents. Not only my people, but the minimum salary requirement is 600 cents in the entire city of Edinburgh."

"What? Then how do others do business? With such a high salary, then just ask someone to be the boss."

"You are wrong. You don't understand Wu Tang or Han people. To be honest, I really admire Wu Tang and Han people. Their ability to make money is really nothing to say. Do you know how much tax I can receive in a month?"

"How many?"

"One hundred thousand taels of silver."

"How many?"

"100,000 taels of silver! All the taxes collected were settled by Wutang paper money, and the real price of 100,000 taels of silver."

Rosa stared at Smallt in shock. As the heir to the Victorian family, she knew very well how much her family's monthly tax revenue was in Aberdeen.

Aberdeen is Scotland's third largest city, with a territory of about half that of Edinburgh and a population of about half.

As the ruler of Aberdeen, the Victorian family can receive about 50,000 taels of silver taxes every year.

The head of Aberdeen's family, the Duke of Victoria, has the same title as Smallt, so it can also recruit and support an army of ten thousand people.

However, because of such taxes, I can't afford to support enough troops all year round, and my troops are less than 2,000.

According to Rosa's calculations, Edinburgh's tax revenue is about twice that of Aberdeen.

But Smolt just now said that Edinburgh’s monthly tax revenue is twice that of Aberdeen.

What is this concept?

This means that Edinburgh’s tax revenue is not twice as much as Aberdeen, but more than twenty times!

Rosa could hardly believe her ears, she didn't believe what she heard was the real numbers.

"This is impossible..." Rosa responded without thinking, this is absolutely impossible!

"You don't understand this. Wutang people's ability to make money is unique. Edinburgh's wealth is outstanding in Europe, but in Wutang, Edinburgh is not as good as an ordinary first-level village."

"Level 1 village? What is this algorithm?"

"Wutang divides cities, cities, counties, towns, towns, and villages into levels. The total population of cities and surrounding areas exceeds one million is considered a city. The annual income of one billion taels of silver is considered a first-class city. Every double income is increased by one level. If the income does not meet the standards, it will not be rated. Just like the capital of Wutang, the largest city in the world, and it is also the only capital that reaches a fifth-level city. The city's requirements are four times, and the county's requirements are four times lowered. And so on, at the village level, the annual income of a village exceeds tens of millions of taels. Think about it yourself, what can I compare to?"

Except for the population that is larger than that of Wutang Village, nothing else can compare to.

"Is Wu Tang so rich?"

"That's why I said that the Han people know how to make money. You don't believe it. Although I have spent several times more now, I have made more money. This is what the Han people say to give back to society."

Rosa was stunned when she heard this, and she even forgot about the topic she first talked about.

She is different from Smallt, and her concept of Wu Tang only exists in other people's oral statements.

But Smallt had seen Wu Tang with his eyes. Although it was not the most intuitive impression, it did not hinder his understanding of Wu Tang.

"If the Wu Tang people are so rich, let's talk about Chang'an City. If they are classified according to Chang'an City, it is equivalent to the wealth that everyone in Chang'an City can create every year exceeding 8,000 taels of silver?"

"I don't know if this number is completely correct, but you may not know how rich the rich man in Wutang is. Just say, a Wutang merchant who did business with me last time, bought the mountain to the east with 500,000 taels of land, a total of 300 acres of land, and sold 500,000 taels of silver. If it was Aberdeen's land, how much do you think? Five thousand taels of silver? Or ten thousand taels of silver?"

"They can't spend money even if they have money?"

"This is what you don't understand their business methods. Maybe they have seen wealth that we can't see. This price seems very high to you, but it may not be the case for them."

Smallt paused and continued, "And do you think my income is only the 100,000 taels? In fact, I have recently done some business with the Han people, and I have an income of at least tens of thousands of taels per month. At more, it can reach a maximum of 200,000 taels of silver per month."

"What business is so profitable?" Rosa was shocked: "You didn't sell the entire Edinburgh to the Han people, are you?"

"Of course not. I am following the Han people to do business. They are happy to bring me one. If you have good investment projects, you will definitely not forget me."

Rosa's eyes rolled: "By the way... Lord Duke, I have something to ask you for advice."

"Please ask me? If it is a matter of governing the territory, I am afraid I will not be able to help you too much. After all, the changes in Edinburgh have nothing to do with me."

“No, it’s about investment.”

"Invest? Do you also do business? If this is the case, I can't help you. I will follow others' butts and learn from them. If you also do business, then ask Wutang merchants for advice. They will definitely understand this better than me."

"No, that's right. I brought a message to the little prince before, and in return, the little prince also gave me a message saying that it would make my family profitable. I'm not sure if this news is true... How about you please help me with reference?"

Smaller's eyes lit up, but his face seemed to be difficult: "This is not a big deal... This is the news from the little prince. Will it make things difficult for you to tell me?"

"I can't make up my mind now, so I need the Duke's advice."

"Okay, let me tell you, I'll help you with reference."

"That's right. The man asked me to buy gold as much as possible after I went home, and then take action three months later. But now silver is only valuable. In the past, the price of gold was ten times that of silver. However, since the emergence of Wutang currency, the prices of gold and silver have been close, and this year it has fallen below three times. I don't think it will take long. The prices of gold and silver are likely to remain the same, and even gold may be lower than silver. But now we are asked to buy gold... Isn't this let us lose money?"

Smaller's eyes flashed, and he suddenly felt his heart twitching anxiously.

He was thinking, how should he answer Rosa, tell the truth or tell the lies?

To be honest, these two people can only share the benefits of eating, and no one can eat more.

But if you tell a lie, let alone the complete breakdown of the relationship with the Victoria family, it is likely that Bai Chen feels dissatisfied, and even doubts about his will, and feels that he is insatiable.

As he came to this point, Smallt decided to tell the truth: "Miss Rosa, I can only tell you that if you believe in the little prince, the little prince will not lie to you, and there is no need to lie to you. Since he told you this, the value of gold will soar within three months."

Smaller deliberately said the words in this way. From his position, Rosa may not believe it, and she is not a lie. Anyway, Smaller intends to acquire gold with all his strength. (To be continued.)8
