Chapter 366 -366: King Bomb! Land Deeds and Government Bonds

The Maeda Family had always been curious about these two small boxes; however, out of respect for both families and the Fang Family, they had never opened them. But this time, they finally had the chance to see them.

“Young Master, should we leave?” Maeda Gingawa inquired.

“No need, it’s not something very private, you can all take a look.”

The two boxes had withstood centuries, and their insides had rotted away beyond recognition. Even a key couldn’t open them, so Fang Jueyu resorted to brute force and simply broke them open.

Inside, there were no priceless treasures as imagined, just two pieces of paper marked by the passage of time. However, since they had been well-preserved, the writings were relatively clear despite aging.

“Young Master, this is…”

“Oh, this is a land deed from the Sun Country and a national debt!” Fang Jueyu had the documents preserved in plastic sealers. Back in those days, the writing tools weren’t as advanced, and the slightest mishandling could damage them, which would be a huge loss.

“Land deed and national debt?” Maeda Gingawa expressed some curiosity, “Young Master, what use do these have in reclaiming that piece of meteorite?”

“These are not ordinary land deeds and national debts. Your presidential palace is built upon this land deed,” Fang Jueyu handed the documents to them, “Don’t be shy, take a look. It’s no secret.”

With Fang Jueyu saying so, they naturally felt at ease. The text was in a very ancient language of the Sun Country, but they could understand some of the general content. Seeing those staggering numbers, their hands slightly trembled.

This wasn’t an ordinary land deed. Normally, a deed covered a building or a piece of land in a development zone, right? Yet this deed covered an area of 20,000 square kilometers!

Keep in mind that the neighboring Sun Country’s total area is 370,000 square kilometers, while their own East Country is even smaller, only 200,000 square kilometers.

This land deed occupied almost one-tenth of East Country’s territory, and it clearly described the location of this land, which was right beneath their feet!

The capital of East Country, this city, only spanned over 4,000 square kilometers. This land deed could completely encompass five of East Country’s capitals.

Who could have thought that the box left by the Leiteng Family contained something so terrifying? This deed meant that almost one-tenth of East Country’s land actually belonged to Fang Jueyu!

As for the national debt, although not as shocking as the land deed, it was acquired in the 1920s. With today’s exchange rates, it amounted to nearly 5 trillion US Dollars!

It’s important to note the recent rapid economic development of East Country, where only a few countries like the United States, Huaxia, Sun Country, Germany, and England were ahead of them. Their GDP last year exceeded 2 trillion US Dollars.

However, this 5 trillion US Dollars was equivalent to more than two years of their GDP, which meant the entire nation could stop eating, drinking, and industrial development, but it would still take over two years to pay off that debt.

They finally understood why Fang Jue was so confident. These weren’t just tools for coercing East Country; they were practically throttling them. Compared to this vast expanse of land and debt, that piece of meteorite was insignificant.

Of course, they weren’t aware that if the contents of the meteorite were valued, it would be worth more than Earth itself, even compared to entire star systems. Their limited perception restricted their value assessment.

“I’m taking these things with me. Is that okay?”

“Certainly, this was always yours, Young Master. Our entire Maeda Family also belongs to you. Whatever you need us to do, just instruct us.”

“Alright, for now, help me take a photo of these two items and send it to your parliament. Tell them they’ve been behind on their rent for a long time. Also, let them know the interest on this national debt?”

“Yes, Young Master, we’ll attend to it immediately!” Maedano agreed without hesitation.

Logically speaking, he was a native citizen of East Country, and this was practically assisting foreigners against his own nation.

But the Maeda Family had no hesitation about it because they had been loyal to the Fang Family long before the country was established, so to them, the Fang Family was their deity! Their loyalty was only to the Fang Family.

…

Due to countless transactions with the country in the past, the Maeda Family maintained long-term connections with the Ministry of Finance; the two photos quickly reached the hands of the finance minister.

If it were an ordinary email, the finance minister wouldn’t spare it a glance. His daily workload was immense, with no time to waste even a minute or two on an email.

However, this email’s signature was too sensitive, from the Maeda Family. Three years ago, the Maeda Family was practically the uncrowned king of East Country, and even now, they still had undeniable influence.

He hurriedly opened the email.

Seeing the two images, he was initially baffled. When had one-tenth of the nation’s land been purchased by someone? Even the biggest land developers in the world couldn’t achieve that. As the finance minister, he’d never heard of such a thing.

As for the national debt, it was even more perplexing. How could a family purchase 5 trillion in national debt in US Dollars? Even for the world’s richest man, Fang Jueyu, is it feasible to come up with that much money? It’s just absurd.

He understood clearly that since a genius like Ryukawa Sukio emerged, the entire economy of East Country had transformed. It was no longer dominated by the Maeda Family alone, and the control of national resources had shifted away from them.

Although the Maeda Family still possessed massive capital, without market competitiveness, money would eventually run out, and their family would inevitably decline.

It was rumored that the former clan leader of the Maeda Family, Maeda Gingawa, was gravely ill and hospitalized, leaving the entire family on the brink of collapse. Were they revealing their last remaining assets now?

This was more than just their last assets; it was a royal flush. With these in hand, who would dare to compete with them? Such an enormous tract of land, even if the nation wanted to buy it back, they couldn’t possibly afford it.

Ryukawa Sukio had money and skills, but reclaiming this 20,000 square kilometers of land was beyond reach. What was their purpose in sending these two photos now?

Could these documents be counterfeit? The finance minister considered, the foundation of a nation’s existence is land. If they held such things, the Maeda Family would virtually have the nation under their thumb.

“No, they wouldn’t take the trouble to mess with me for no reason.” Yuan Huiguo immediately called for his assistant, “Get someone from the Land Bureau to come over right away, preferably with all the land ownership documents, and accompany me to the earliest financial records room. I need to retrieve some data!”
