Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 321 318. Client real estate and funds

Because Rand arrived in Dragon Tooth City in the evening, and after reporting several times in the palace, it was time to eat. Rand, as a viscount of the court, naturally had no chance to have a happy meal with the high-level officials of the kingdom, but His Majesty Du Sen was very grateful for Rand's successful appointment. Lislav was very satisfied with being blocked in the east of the Rockylav Pass, and even more satisfied that Rand could personally report the situation on the night of the 28th, so he arranged for Rand to have a meal alone in a small restaurant in the palace, and said that he would seal Rand in these two days. Especially the earl of the court.

Since Rand landed directly on Longtai Mountain on a griffin this time, and there were no horses when he left the palace, Tierney, who lived nearby, sent Rand back to the chamber of commerce in the city.

The time for the canonization of the Earl of the Court is set for this Sunday, which is May 5. What makes Rand a little depressed is that it only took him 33 days from receiving Teresa's accident on the 27th to completely solving the eastern border issue on the 29th. However, he therefore had to spend four days at Dragon Tooth City from the 2th until the 29rd before he could really leave Dragon Tooth City.

Fortunately, the main work on the eastern border now only needs to be finished. What Rand really needs to do is to buy a large amount of monster meat to supply three intermediate monsters that are robbing each other.

"My lord, I can be considered to have contacted you. Wendy has set up a communication room and a magic mirror in White Wolf City Castle. At present, it still needs to be maintained by the magic crystal." Tian has not received any information from the territory, "From the information obtained from White Wolf City, Salma, Benny, and Xilena are all of good aptitude, have been affirmed by the gods, and are expected to become junior high school students soon." priest."

Rant asked Wendy to stop the ship on the 28th, just to wait for all the life priest apprentices and boilers. Now I heard that the apprentices have good qualifications, and I am very pleased.

"The boiler has been installed in place. Johnny and Fianna Furnace Instructor jointly tested the new magic pattern. In addition, using today, Teresa and Tania made some special breeding tanks. Instructor Tania She said that it would be best to come to the capital to find Dragon Blood Thorn for an experiment, and she was thinking about how to go to the capital more conveniently."

"I see. Anyway, I have a court earl conferring ceremony on the 33rd. Before that, I have to stay in the royal capital." Lan pointed nodded.

"Well, the current knights on the eastern border have decided to practice for another two days. Knight Bit White Owl has arrived. He and Teresa will lead the knights to escort the tribe of Totapala back to Yeqi City."

There are currently 4 high-level knights in the territory. Once Lant is tied to the capital, the remaining 3 high-level knights will have to be transferred in turn. Neither Lant nor the magic goblins dare to let the tribe with more than a dozen low-level monsters do it without authorization. Action is the only way to go.

"Things in the west are relatively stable. Knight Petraeu and Instructor Elsa Iron Rock have arrived at the Iowa Pass..." Little Cardinal reported the situation of the entire territory, from the east and west borders to Yeqi City, Rottland, iron mines, salt mines, and even several outstanding post castles.She can even plan the grain and Warcraft meat imports for Rand from the food consumption in various places in the next six months.

With this data witch, Rand can basically dispatch the entire Galloping Horse Plain in the capital.

On the morning of the 30th, the chamber of commerce sent more than a dozen invitations to various balls and banquets for Rand. The news that he was about to become the earl of the court had been spread all over (Longtai) as early as yesterday afternoon. Many surrounding viscounts The baron neighbor even came to congratulate the chamber of commerce hall.

Such a group of neighbors is not easy to deal with, especially if they all bring their fifth son, sixth son or fourth daughter and fifth daughter, hoping that Rand can arrange a place in their own knight order.

Rand already had two lifetimes of experience in this kind of favor, so he bluntly said that he would face the orc army within this year, and whichever family's children could defend the galloping horses, the children of the family would be kept.The threat of war did cause some neighbors to hesitate, but no fewer than 10 decided to keep their children on the spot.

After all, for these families, the establishment of the Knights on the Galloping Horse Plain is not in vain. As for the risk of war, which war does not kill people?How can a child from a noble family be afraid of risks? .

"Oh, I didn't expect Earl Lant to receive these guests in person." When the neighbors left one after another, Antrich Lanlong came in at the right time, "Your neighbors are all viscounts and barons of the court. In the future, you If they were all received in person, I’m afraid I’d be exhausted every day.”

"That can't be helped, are they all neighbors?" Rand said with a wry smile.

"How could that be? You are going to move soon. Even I know about it." Antrech said with a smile, "You have already captured Yeqi City, and the Earl and Consul did not run away. His Majesty Dusen has already The decision to hand over the former Galloping Horse Kingdom's residence in Dragon Tooth City to you probably took place within these two days."

"Huh?" Rand was a little surprised.
"Don't worry, it's a good place in Longtai Mountain, you won't have to squeeze here anymore"

"My chamber of commerce can't move to the mountain, can it?"

"Of course, fortunately, the Benma family also had a large area at the foot of the mountain, just like in Yeqi City, there is also an area where the red dragon, blue dragon, flying dragon, white owl and other dragon kingdom families live together." Ann Trechi winked and said, and Rand naturally understood his purpose when he heard this.

"Ah, if that's the case, then it's easy to handle." Lante naturally followed the blue dragon youth's words, "It's just that most of Yeqi City is still in ruins, and there are some temples and magic tables, I don't know Which piece used to belong to one family of our Dragon Kingdom, why not find time, each of our families send someone out, come to the map of Yeqi City to identify it, and then I will send someone to clean it up"

"That's really great. Your Excellency McLaren said before I set off that you will definitely protect the interests of the dragon's nobles, Mr. Lant."

With a good exchange of benefits as a start, Antrich took Rand to several properties in the Galloping Horse Kingdom. On the carriage, Blue Dragon mentioned another thing that Rand had heard about but was not clear about: the Galloping Horse Family fund.

This fund can be traced back to before Benma's subjugation. It is composed of overseas assets and shares of Benma Kingdom. No one embezzled this money during the turbulent period, but after the empire settled down, it became the angel investment fund of many Magister Workshops. .After hundreds of years of operation, the scale of funds has become so large that it has become the ballast stone of the Imperial Treasury and the treasuries of the major kingdoms.

"Master Rand, His Excellency McLaren asked me to remind you that the Marquis Fiat family is currently in charge of the distribution of interest every year. The scale of the interest alone is hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and the scale of the principal is too large to be touched. Please be sure to keep in touch with the dragon nobles before you propose any matters related to the principal to the empire. Such a huge fund is completely controlled by the legends of the imperial capital, the red dragon, Kirislav and the elves. To take it back..." Ann
Trechi's meaning is very clear, mortals should not rob gold coins from evil dragons, and don't expect to rob the small coffers of legends. Instead of focusing on the principal, it is better to take back the right to distribute interest.

"I'm not that stupid." Rand said very simply. He had seen a large number of bonds, shares and fund transfer certificates in the documents of the Ministry of Finance, but he did not expect that these funds could roll into a huge sum in a few hundred years. funds.Probably the financial departments in various places really regard this fund as a ballast stone, and only add and subtract numbers on the reimbursement. "I just want to know, on what basis does the Marquis of Fiat allocate funds to the children of Benma?"

"I heard that it is based on the royal family tree that was copied from Padmira Mountain a hundred years ago." Antrech said with some hesitation, "The ancestors of Fiat brought a copy from Yeqi City back then."
