The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

For the next few months, Cheer Chen was doing preparations to assist Christina in resetting.

In fact, there is only one thing he has to do, and that is to raise funds.

The first payment of fifty thousand talers was delivered to Arvid Widenberg, but this was a drop in the bucket for an operation to subvert a country's power. According to calculations by Alvid Wedenberg and Ingrid, Chechen needs to raise at least half a million talers by March next year. And also have to prepare in advance the monthly cost of 200,000 talers for the next three months.

The total is 1.1 million talers.

Although I have a fief in Brest, these towns and villages have no output because they have just been sealed up and it is in the winter. And the tax revenue of Bratzlaff, Chechen has to be used to feed tens of thousands of dollars. The Cossacks have limited blood transfusion capabilities.

The king sent Cheerchen a fee of 30,000 talers, and Princess Louise Henriette knew Cheerchen was short of money, and in return for Cheerchen’s life-saving grace, she also gave Cheorchen a 50,000 talers. Cheque.

But this is still a drop in the bucket, because the gap is as high as 1.02 million talers.

And what is the concept of 1.02 million talers?

At that time, thirty talers could buy an adult cow, and three hundred talers could buy a villa...

Cheerchen is going to mortgage all his current movable and real estate, but this is still not enough.

Reluctantly, Cheerchen disregarded Pidro's opposition and started his idea of ​​placing a huge amount of deposits with the Jewish consortium.

At this moment, a Jewish banker in Christina's entourage found Cheerchen.

"Count, Diego Teixeira salutes you and is willing to serve you." The visitor said respectfully.

Cheerchen looked at the man who called himself Diego Teixeira. This person is about forty years old and has black hair. His eyes are as long as cracks, and a huge hooked nose grows on Xin's long horse face. Unlike the Jews Chechen saw in Poland, Diego Teixeira is dressed in a German national costume. If he hadn't introduced himself to his origin, no one else could tell that he was a Jew.

"Did Queen Christina send you to find me?" Cheer Chen asked.

Diego Teixeira shook his head.

"No, count. I heard that you are having trouble raising funds, so I came here on purpose."

Hearing Diego Teixeira said this, Pidro looked wary on the side.

After Cheerchen released the news of mortgages on the farms, land and taxes in the Brest territory, the wealthy merchants, nobles and Jewish bankers indeed pounced on Cheerchen like stinky flies.

Although no one knew why Cheerchen, who had always been wealthy, suddenly pledged his assets, everyone knew that Cheerchen needed money, and it was immediate and immediate.

Therefore, these guys who coveted Chechen's land and farms all set extremely harsh conditions without exception. For example, high interest rates, long mortgage periods, a series of additional political conditions, and so on.

These conditions are so harsh that even Cheer Chen, who is in a hurry to spend money, thinks it is unacceptable anyway. But no matter how Cheerchen frayed his lips, the buyers who got the chance of Cheerchen's fate did not let go.

And some people say implicitly that one day's delay will result in one day's less money.

The angry Yelishei they beat the man half to death and threw him into the stinking ditch.

Obviously, Pidro thinks Diego Teixeira also wants to take advantage of the fire.

Diego Teixeira noticed Piedro's hostile gaze. Of course he had heard of what had happened these days, so he smiled kindly at Piedro.

"This must be the deputy head of Pedro? Please don't get me wrong. I really didn't come to take advantage of the fire, but to help Earl Chechen from all my heart. Queen Christie is my protector. I know some things, and I hope to myself. Can help the queen and you."

Listening to Diego Teixeira saying this, Piedro, who was in the doorway, gave way.

"Please come in and talk." Cheerchen said.

After Diego Teixeira entered the room and took his seat, Cheerchen asked straightforwardly: "How can you help me?"

Diego Teixeira did not directly answer Cheerchen's question, but instead asked Cheerchen if he knew what security real rights were.

Cheerchen and Pidro looked at each other.

Regarding the concept of secured real rights, the two are at a loss.

Suddenly, Pidro stood up, and he walked to the door and shouted: "Ingrid, come on."

After shouting, Pidro turned his head and said to Diego Teixeira pretendingly: "I don't bother to answer you for such a simple question."

Ingrid arrived soon.

Piedro pointed to Diego Teixeira and said: "Ingrid, you tell this Jew what is a security property right."

As a quartermaster, Ingrid knows better than Cherchen and Pidro in accounting, and she began to talk about it.

The so-called security real right refers to the debtor or a third party other than the debtor using specific property as a guarantee for the performance of debts in civil activities such as sale and purchase. When the debtor fails to perform the due debt, the creditor has the priority right to be paid for the property in accordance with the procedures prescribed by law.

Generally speaking, the debtor shall perform its obligations with all its assets for the debts borne by itself, that is, all the assets of the debtor shall be the general guarantee for its debts. When the debt is not fulfilled, the creditor may request the court to sell the debtor’s property in accordance with the law, and pay off the debt with the price.

The creditor's rights are not exclusive, so for the same debtor, there may be several creditor's rights with the same content or different content. For the same debtor, it may happen that the debt exceeds the total assets of the debtor, and all the creditor's rights are in equal status, and there is no problem of order during the period. Several creditors of the same debtor have equal rights to the debtor’s property. If the debtor’s property is not enough to pay off the total creditor’s rights, it must be distributed in proportion to the creditor’s creditor’s rights, and the creditor’s creditor’s rights will not be fully repaid. On the one hand; on the other hand, the creditor’s right is not traceable. When the debtor transfers the property to others, the part of the property loses the nature of security, so the debtor’s act of transferring the property to damage the creditor cannot occur. .

Although Ingrid explained meticulously, Cheerchen and Pidro were still at a loss.

The theory is really too difficult.

When Diego Teixeira saw this, he knew that Chechen and Pidro didn't understand, so he had to give an example.

In short, one thing can be mortgaged to different people.

For example, the value of Chechen’s farms and the loan contract held by him is 500,000 talers. Then the 500,000 talers can be used as a guarantee for Queen Christina today, and it can be used for Jan Kazimierz tomorrow. The Japanese king guarantees, and the day after tomorrow Vygowski can also use it as a guarantee...

Understand?

In short, so play, no! Under such a reasonable operation, Chechen is equivalent to using financial leverage, and the actual use can reach two, three, or even ten 500,000 talers.

This is equivalent to a sum of money that can be used as N sums of money.

Hearing Diego Teixeira’s simple explanation, Cheerchen and Pidro finally understood.

"What kind of guarantee do you want to use my assets for?" Cheer Chen asked.

"Not bad!" Diego Teixeira laughed.

"But will anyone want this? And how do you mortgage it to many people without letting people know?" Cheerchen was a little unbelieving.

Diego Teixeira gave a mysterious smile.

"Earl, I just said that more than one security property right can be set on a property. If your property is priced at 500,000 thaler, then we will not release the mortgage for 300,000 thaler. Please believe me. In the exchanges in the Netherlands and Hamburg, some are financial adventurers. As for how to keep it secret, sorry, this is my business secret."

After that, Diego Teixeira suggested that Chechen pledge all his assets to five to six people so that he could raise about 1.5 to 1.8 million talers.

Cheerchen thought for a while and hesitated to agree-in fact, he had no better way now.

Of course, the risk of this matter is also great. Because once it was not paid, Cheechen would be tantamount to offending all the creditors.

And who has the ability to eat half a million talers, who is easy to follow?

But on this issue ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Pidro Bicherchen thought. The veteran who heard Cheerchen want to use all his money to help Christina regain her country in the first day of the new year is now comforting Cheerchen: "In fact, there is nothing terrible. Anyway, if we fail, we will also be bankrupted and even be taken by Karl X. People chase and kill. Now there are only five more enemies, no big deal."

Cheer Chen felt guilty when he heard what his uncle said. Uncle has struggled all his life, and now it's rare to have a good life, but he has invested everything that the two of them have in a vicious and dangerous bet.

Pidro left without waiting for Cheechen's relief. At this time, Fatima suddenly came to Cheerchen.

"Chechen, do you like Queen Christina?" Fatima asked suddenly.

Cheerchen was taken aback.

Immediately he said angrily: "Of course not! I treat Christina as a sister. Fatima, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing Cheerchen's words, Fatima lowered her slender eyelashes.

"But you can forgive Boguslav for half a million talers, and you don't hesitate to spend all your money to help Queen Christina. Obviously Christina is more important than Natalie in your heart?"

Cheerchen was stunned again.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

After a long while, he hugged Fatima.

"No," Cheerchen said, "I love you and Natalie, with all my strength, I love with all my heart. I also love Sister Christina, but that is a different kind of love. I am willing to dedicate everything to Natalie. , But I hope she does the same. But... alas... She loves her country and the king more than me, so I am jealous and hate... I sometimes really want to know that between me and the country, she Which one will you choose."
