Chapter 709: Collecting Wealth
Gama City in February, calm and busy, for those ordinary residents, there is nothing big happening this month, although there are many families who have lost their men, and they have been making trouble for a while, but most of them have been persuaded to go back by the Elf Moon family and the Oba family, and the lord's mansion has also given a lot of pensions to the families of these dead, and these ordinary residents are no longer making trouble.
After all, they all know that the war between the two countries is inevitable, and the dead are inevitable, and such generous treatment is almost unimaginable in other parts of the mainland, and judging from what the new lord has done, he is also a reasonable person, if they continue to make trouble, I am afraid that they will be a little ignorant.
Of course, not everyone is so easy to appease, but Jingchen is not a soft-hearted person, for those who deliberately do not want to settle down, whether it is Jingchen, or Baruch and others, those soldiers who have been compiled by Jingchen as the lord's personal guard, will not show mercy, after some diehards have many "bizarre" disappearances, the chaos in the original plan of Badros did not appear.
In fact, the most important reason why that kind of chaos did not appear was that Jingchen did not really participate in this battle, and Jingchen's subordinates, whether they were officials or sergeants, except for the lord's personal guard, all of them were selected from the locals. The families of those who died in battle did not have much resistance to these people who were born and raised in this land, and these ordinary residents just wanted to live in peace and let them work against the authorities, which is too much to overestimate their courage.
After dealing with the families of these dead, Jingchen put all his energy into the upcoming inauguration ceremony, and he wanted to take this opportunity to implement his ideas, which would not only save him a lot of manpower and material resources, but also allow Jingchen, a person who doesn't like to be bound, to live more calmly.
In fact, Jingchen also thought about handing over this mess to Yueran, to the elf Yue's family, just from his relationship with Yue Yanran, he was also relieved to hand over the entire territory to Yueran to take care of, but the reason why he didn't do it was that when he talked late that night, Yueran also said his concerns.
Although with the relationship between Jingchen and the Yue family, this seems to be nothing, but the Holy Spirit Empire, especially the Lingjia Emperor, I am afraid that he may not necessarily think so, as the lord of a territory, but he handed over his territory to a big family that used to be in charge of the traitor, this kind of thing can be big or small, if it is used by someone with a heart, it will be a trouble at that time.
So Yue Ran politely rejected Jing Chen's kindness, of course, Yue Ran didn't really care so much about such a huge power, under Jing Chen's instructions, Yue Ran still set up the Lord's Mansion, although it can't be said that the entire Lord's Mansion is his Yue family's people, but many of the important positions are also controlled by the Yue family, or people related to the Yue family.
In this way, first of all, Jingchen's idea can be implemented more conveniently, he only needs to explain to the Yue family, or Yueran, and his ideas can be implemented quickly, and secondly, Jingchen's control over the territory has also been greatly strengthened.
Although it seems that Jing Chen may be easily overshadowed by the Yue family, Jing Chen has no worries in his heart, needless to say the well-known relationship between him and Yue Yanran, even if there is no such relationship, Yue Ran would not dare to joke with the lives of the entire Elf Yue family.
Yue Ran had witnessed it with his own eyes, and when Jing Chen waved his hand, dozens of pale golden figures flew out together, under that terrifying strength slaughter, even the Nangong family, which was stronger than the Yue family and had a deeper foundation, was completely turned into the dust of history in an instant, not to mention his Yue family.
It is also based on these two considerations, so Jingchen and the Yue family are tied to a chariot no matter what, and they are both prosperous and lossy.
Since the principals of many families, through various relationships, learned the news that Jingchen, the new lord, was ready to delegate power from the mouths of the two major families of the Yue family and Oba family, these families began to get busy, whether it was to give gifts and go to the door, or to set up almost feelings, anyway, the means that could be used were all used all over again.
After all, no one knows what the division of power in each city is, if it happens to be their own enemy who is on the right path, and they are on the wrong path, when the power of their own city falls into the hands of the other party, it will be an immeasurable disaster for them and the families behind them, and every time they think of this possibility, the principals of these families will not hesitate to invest in blood and money, in order to get the results they want.
For this situation, Jingchen chose to turn a blind eye, this is also what he agreed with the Yue family and the Oba family, these benefits can be collected by the two families, but at the time of the final statistics, they must hand over a copy of the treasury, although in this way, the two families want to take out a share of the benefits they have received, but these benefits are all obtained out of thin air after all, and under Jingchen's share of force, even if they are completely handed over, the two families dare not have any complaints.
In fact, this is also Jingchen's helpless move, although he has a lot of money on him, but that money is still a bit shabby for running a territory with eighteen cities of all sizes, so collecting money in this way is also the only way he can think of now, which is relatively easy and fast.
"Your Highness, Patriarch Yueran and Patriarch Obama are waiting for you in the council chamber. A member of the lord's personal guard slowly walked to the outside of Jingchen's dormitory and said respectfully.
"Well, I see, let the two patriarchs be entertained, I'll be there later. Jing Chen's voice came from inside the hall a little ethereal, and the guard answered, bowed to the door of the hall again, and then retreated.
The lord's mansion where Jingchen lives is the original Gama Palace, but the name has been changed, and the council hall is actually the council hall during the Gama Kingdom, although Jingchen is also a prince, but he is currently just a lord, according to the laws of the Holy Spirit Empire, those who have not received the title of Duke of the Empire are not allowed to call the place where they live "palace", and Jingchen, a cheap prince, is naturally no exception.
Slowly came to the council hall, but the council hall was a little empty at the moment, and in the huge council hall, there were only two people sitting and a few servants who were responsible for serving the two.
Seeing Jingchen coming, those servants hurriedly saluted Jingchen and said, "I've seen the Third Highness." β
Not only these servants, but even Yueran and Obama stood up, although Yueran and Jingchen have a special relationship, but on this occasion, Yueran still has to maintain the due etiquette of officialdom to Jingchen, this is the rule, as the saying goes, there is no rule without a circle, and this is the case everywhere.
"I've seen the Third Highness!"
Yueran and Obama said in unison.
Jingchen waved his hand, motioned for the two to sit down, raised his head to look at the servants standing on both sides, and said, "You guys go down, you don't have to come in without a summons." β
Hearing Jingchen's order, those servants all lowered their heads and retreated in two rows.
Most of these servants were the palace maids and attendants in the palace of the king of Gama, Jingchen did not dismiss them all, but asked people to ask for their own opinions, those who were willing to stay, Jingchen welcomed, and those who did not want to stay, wanted to go home, Jingchen did not object, sent some money to those who wanted to leave, and let those people leave.
As soon as she sat down, Yue Ran smiled and said to Jingchen, "Third Highness, there are still a few days before the celebration will be held, and I came here with Obama today mainly to report to His Highness on the preparations for the celebration and hand over a batch of things sent by various families." β
As the words fell, Yue Ran and Obama each took out a space ring that looked a little different, and with a slight force, the ring slowly flew towards Jingchen. At this moment, it was obvious that the strength of the two was different.
Although Yue Ran has recently made a breakthrough with the help of Jing Chen, and his strength has reached the fifth level of the primary level, but compared with Obama, who has the sixth level of primary strength, Yue Ran's strength is still much worse, and the speed of the ring is not fast, but it is not up to the level of Obama that seems to be in slow motion, but it will not slip down.
Eyes swept over the two, Jingchen reached out and caught the two rings, for the things in the rings, Jingchen did not immediately check, but put the rings on the table on the side, immediately raised his head, looked at the two and smiled, "For this period of time, the two patriarchs have been working hard for me, and I Jingchen will definitely remember it in my heart, and I will have my own rewards in the future." β
This sentence, Jingchen mainly said to Obama, needless to say the relationship between Yueran and Jingchen, Jingchen also delegated most of the power to Yueran, but on the Oba family's side, Jingchen did not give him much power, although it seems that the Oba family also occupies many positions in the newly established lord's mansion, but they are all some less important idle positions, or deputy positions in some important departments, and the power in his hands naturally cannot be compared with the Yue family.
However, out of some kind of balancing act, Jingchen is not without power to the Oba family, the recruits who have just been recruited and incorporated from Gama City during this time are now being handed over to the Oba family for training, of course, this is not that Jingchen does not trust Yueran and the Yue family, it is Yueran who recommends the Oba family to train new troops.
First of all, in the original Gama Kingdom, many members of the Oba family were important members of the military, but later Badros insisted on establishing an empire, and many members of the Oba family retired from military positions; secondly, even if Jingchen did not doubt his Yue family, but Yueran also had to think about himself and the future of the Yue family, once he was a hundred years later, the next patriarch of the Yue family could not maintain such a harmonious relationship with Jingchen, and no one came to check and balance him, if he took care of it, the Yue family was likely to be led to destruction by him, and after working with Jingchen for so long, Jingchen's temper Yue Ran still had some understanding, although Jingchen was not very old, he was definitely a tough masterγ
If he really came to that point, he believed that Jingchen would definitely not take into account Yue Yanran's feelings, and he knew better that in addition to having a good impression of himself and his wife, his daughter did not have a good impression at all, but on the contrary, he was a little disgusted, after all, in order to please the Gama royal family, many people in the family almost forced Yue Yanran to cut off contact with Jingchen and marry Hewitt.
It's just that time has passed, and no one has mentioned this matter anymore.
