Jerry taught Lei his experience in managing property to himself: "It doesn't matter if you don't manage the accounts now, even if those housekeepers are a little corrupt, they only embezzle more than 100,000 gold coins from you every year, what is it? They don't dare to embezzle too much... You just need to keep all the gold coins in your hands, and allocate a part of the gold coins to them every year for a banquet or something, anyway, their salaries are a matter for the Imperial Ministry of State, so you don't have to worry too much. Finally, you can go to the Finance Academy in the imperial capital to find a few high-achieving students, raise their families in your mansion, and then let them settle the accounts for you, and you can arrange a team of soldiers to go down to each accountant to ensure that no one dares to hide the price of a copper from you. ”

Lei easily asked: "This, when checking the accounts, can you use the imperial army?"

Jerry's eyes widened in surprise, and he explained: "Ray, you are the commander of the legion, the nobles of the empire do this, when settling the accounts, in order to fear that the tax officials below will make trouble, they naturally have to send some troops down to intimidate them, right? You know, between the taxes you collect, there is a percentage of the taxes that need to be handed over to the treasury, and no one wants to lose their accounts." ”

Lei nodded hurriedly: "But, with an annual income of tens of millions of gold coins, can this money be spent?"

Jerry let out a sigh of exclamation: "Oh my God, Ray, what are we? Those big nobles are the heads of the family, they control one or several chambers of commerce, and through the business activities of the entire continent, they can collect hundreds of millions of profits every year... Are you still afraid that there is no place to spend more than 10 million gold coins? The best wine in the imperial capital, a bottle is 500 gold coins, the best woman, the first yes is 10,000 to 30,000 gold coins, the most popular woman, they charge you 100,000 gold coins a night is a trivial matter. ”

"Also, if you want to pursue women, you have to seduce women, and those jewels are indispensable, and each piece costs thousands of gold coins. Also, it's fun to go to the casino once in a while... Milomi, the most famous playboy in the imperial capital, one of my best friends, spends his father twenty million gold coins a year, all on women and wine. ”

Ray's head was completely confused, and he walked out of the gate of his mansion like a zombie, reluctantly climbed onto his warhorse, and asked, "Milomi, who is his father, and how did he let him waste it so much?"

Jerry shrugged his shoulders: "His father is the Marquis of Cress, and the Marquis of Cress is the son of the Duke of Cress, and the Duke of Cress is the Minister of State of the Empire... Got it?"

Lei rode forward slowly, and said reluctantly: "I understand, well, this is some very complicated things, I must study it well." You mean, I don't have to worry about my own property or anything now, do you?"

Jerry nodded, motioned for the guards behind him to follow, and said, "Of course, you are the leader of the Dragon Legion, and your biggest task is to manage the affairs of the Legion. You don't even have to train them, because it's Gaddafi's responsibility to train the soldiers... Why do you bother with the problems of the industry? You sign the certificate of the property, and you just wait to get the money, and that's what I did. However, my previous income in a year was only a pitiful 100,000 gold coins, but now I am finally prosperous. ”

Jerry's face was smug, very satisfied with his current territory. He smiled and said, "My father is the third son of my grandfather, and he may not be able to take over the power of the family, so I have to make a little more profit for my future life." My father is only an earl, and my current title is on par with my father's, so according to the custom of the Empire, my father will be awarded the title of Marquis at this ceremony. ”

Lei asked angrily: "Then, your father's territory will also be expanded, right?"

Jerry frowned, shook his head and said, "No, Ray, my father's territory, my father has no territory, because he is my grandfather's son, and everything about him comes from my grandfather." He belongs to the kind of person who has a knighthood and receives tens of thousands of imperial gold coins as a salary every year. Unless my grandfather died and left my father a piece of land in his will, my father would not have his own territory. ”

Ray nodded in realization, and oh. Jerry sighed: "The nobles of the empire, if they don't have military merits, then they can only eat the old books of their ancestors, and it is impossible to have their own new territory." So my father was very happy to be rewarded this time. As for the other uncles and uncles, they were absolutely not happy. ”

Lei's eyes widened: "Why? They are your uncles, and you have established credit, aren't they also glorious?"

Jerry whispered viciously, "Damn, I have built up credit, doesn't it make it seem that their son is too incompetent, doesn't it seem that my father's ability is better than theirs? ”

Ray looked at Jerry inexplicably, punched Jerry in the shoulder, and said, "Jerry, no matter what, I'm here to support you, if you need help, tell me." ”

Jerry grinned at Ray in pain, but he was very happy in his heart, this big man, he didn't have to be so heavy to show affection, his bones were almost broken. However, if he can get Thunder's support and let others see that the captains of the Dragon Legion are his close friends, then his weight is much heavier in the snatching of the family's inheritance. So, Jerry was very happy. His grandfather had one of the richest provinces in the western part of the empire, and it was the province with the most gold mines in the empire.

Under Jerry's leadership, Lei gradually became familiar with who the most powerful people in the imperial capital were, who were good friends and enemies among their descendants, which noble ladies were the easiest to get started with, and which noble ladies were innocent on the surface, but actually participated in promiscuous meetings...

Leaning against the gate of a women's college, Jerry held a blood-red rose in his mouth, and said with a smile: "This academy is the best aristocratic women's college in the imperial capital, well, almost all the noble ladies study in it." ”

Ray twisted his shoulders to make himself more comfortable against the wall, and asked curiously, "What do they do? What do they learn? Learn swordsmanship?"

Jerry laughed 'sneering', and a group of noble knights in Gosia also laughed, and Jerry explained in a low voice: "They, in it, they learn how to draw, how to socialize, as well as tea ceremony, flower arrangement, etc., how to coordinate the relationship with their husbands, and be familiar with all the court etiquette, etc. Because maybe one of them will become the next queen, or become the princess of some prince, so they must maintain a very elegant image, to put it bluntly, this is the noble woman's workshop, specializing in the kind of noble ladies who look magnificent and magnificent. ”

Lei nodded suddenly, and a pair of eyes were a little inadequate, looking at the aristocratic ladies who were showing off their flowers, watching them walk out of the gate of the academy with gentle and quiet steps, and got on the richly decorated carriages, and then drove away arrogantly under the escort of a group of family knights.

Jerry suddenly 'ahaha', took the rose from his mouth, and walked straight towards a girl with a wide straw hat on her head, a few camellias on it, and the whole person looked like a small pearl as warm and lovely. In Ray's stunned eyes, Jerry did not care that the stone slab on the ground might stain his dress, but fell to one knee in front of the girl exaggeratedly, presented the rose, and cried out loudly: "Ah, my dear Corinna, you are the moon in the sky, which illuminates my chest, and you are the gentle wind of spring, which makes my heart cool... YOUR BEAUTIFUL LOOKS ... Even the goddess of heaven would be ashamed of herself. ”

Ray stared blankly at Jerry's almost exaggerated performance, while Gosia and the others were enthusiastic, and whispered there, "One hundred gold coins, that girl refuses to agree to Lord Jerry's invitation... ”

"Two hundred gold coins, yes. ”

"Fifty gold coins, no promise... Damn, my military pay and my father's pocket money for me are all gone, and it's only fifty. ”

After a long time, the girl finally smiled: "Jerry, you have returned from the battlefield? How did you fight? It is really strange that there is no news about this war." ”

Jerry immediately rolled over and bounced, bowed and said, "Oh, dear Corinna, of course, we have won a big battle." However, because of the face-saving relationship of several other countries, our empire did not publicize the results of the war, so it is normal for you not to know the specific battle report. Oh, how about we go to lunch together? I have a good friend who introduced you to you... Hey, Ray, my lieutenant general, can't you come yet?"
