Chapter 47: Family Relics
"Knighthood?"
Kuang Fan's heart jumped, he had fantasized a lot before, and the family would come for various reasons. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But this matter, his mind really didn't take it into account.
He knew from memory that the Nicholas family. When it comes to dividing titles, it's all based on how much contribution the internal members can bring to the family.
He is now far away from the family, not only has he not contributed anything to the family, but he has not promoted anything for the family.
Suddenly, he said that he was going to give him a knighthood, and he was a little dizzy.
"That's right, the head of the house, including the Council of Elders, has agreed to confer the title of baron on you. ”
Elder Alex touched the ring on his index finger, and on his hand appeared a noble medal made of gold with roses, which symbolized the meaning of the Kingdom of Bisya.
The front and back of the medal are embossed with the heads of two famous kings in the history of the kingdom, and a star is printed on it to signify the barony.
In his other hand, Elder Alex held a thick book on matters relating to the power of the nobility, as well as the duties and responsibilities to be fulfilled.
"Originally, a solemn event like the knighthood was to hold a deliberate ceremony in the family, but you already have your own territory, so we have to simplify the complex. As he spoke, Elder Alex handed him the medal in his hand.
"Thank you for the love of the family, the three elders actually came to such a far place for my business. I should have sent a letter, and I would have personally returned to the family. Kuang Fan said politely.
In any case, the benefits brought to him by the promotion of the knighthood are not a small amount.
The town of Huanxi can reduce at least 12% of the revenue from the territory to the provincial capital of Cappadonia, which is the higher administrative territory.
With Huanxi Town's current daily income of nearly 10 magic crystal coins, the tax paid is about 1.2 magic crystal coins, and if it is converted into a system tax, it is 12 million, which is an astonishing amount.
Originally, this value was even larger, and Kuang Fan increased the welfare of the townspeople in many aspects in order to evade taxes in disguise.
Most of the money-making projects in Huanxi Town are his private property, and the actual taxes of the people only account for a small amount.
He also didn't like this money, so he had the immigration policy he thought of before, including the welfare of the aboriginal people.
Now he has invested in many development projects, including education, medical care (he has hired several magicians with healing skills), etc., all of which are his deliberate means of lowering the taxes of the real realm.
The baronial title given by the family saved him 200 gold coins at once, and this is still a daily situation, and the effect is very touching when he calculates the days to come.
Elder Kers smiled and said, "Mayor Kuang Fan is too polite, it's all a family. ”
Elder Malachi answered, "We have come this time, in addition to conferring knighthood on you, to transfer your parents' inheritance to you. Now that you have your own territory and the ability to take charge of yourself, it's time to leave your parents' belongings to you for safekeeping. ”
Kuang Fan's father was the former mentor of the Thorn Rose Camp, in charge of a large number of secrets of the family, an absolute core member, and was even scheduled to be one of the candidates for the next head of the family.
His value is naturally very thick, which is also very profound in Kuang Fan's memory.
"Parents' legacy?" Kuang Fan said with a puzzled expression.
"Because your father's original position in the family was very controversial, I hope you can understand that his inheritance will have to be carefully examined by the head of the family before it can be decided to be taken over by his descendants. Elder Alex explained with a sincere face.
As he spoke, he took out a space ring inlaid with a sapphire from his arms and handed it to Kuang Fan.
Kuang Fan stretched out his hand to take it, and looked inside, inside the ring was a ten-cube space, in which there were mountains of gold coins, and there were many weapon-like alchemy works next to the gold coins.
Elder Kers introduced, "Your parents' inheritance includes three Xuan-level fighting skills, two yellow-level superlative magic inheritances, four psychic-level weapons, some money, and some miscellaneous items. ”
Elder Malachi replied again, "One of the things that the Space Ring can't place, the Nine-Leaf Grass, was placed in your courtyard by us. ”
Nine-Leaf Grass is a very peculiar magical plant, small in size, with a total of nine leaves on it.
Each leaf has a strong detoxification and healing function, and after being picked, it will soon produce nine leaves again with the magic element of Dou Qi.
Loved by many forces in the market, any powerful family wants to have a nine-leaf clover grass, because it is like a cash cow.
However, the number of Nine-Clover Grass is too small, because the reason why it can keep giving birth makes the cultivation ability of this magic plant extremely low.
Very few people have been able to transplant it into another plant, and so many years of excavation of the nine-leaf clover grass have made them rare.
"Since it's a relic of my parents, I'll keep it. ”
Kuang Fan cautiously put the ring on his finger and replied with gratitude.
"Mayor Kuang Fan heard that some time ago, you sent a lot of guards to Phlegia City to support the kingdom's army against the invasion of the Blood Clan, I don't know if it's true?" Elder Alex asked softly.
Kuang Fan replied: "It is true, the safety of the borders of the kingdom is related to the security of the internal region, and it is my intention to contribute a little at this critical moment!"
Elder Fox smiled, "As far as we know, Huanxi Town has sent 150 Great Dou Master-level masters, we are very curious about where you got such a large group of powerful guards?"
Kuang Fan still felt a little sad in his heart that the family could learn about the military, the most core military intelligence of a kingdom was actually known by the nobles, and there was nothing to hide it, and it was said by the mouth of the family members, which is enough to prove that the royal family's control over the military power is not enough.
Although this matter of his is not worthy of being covered up by the military, if this information spreads to the side of the blood clan forces, Kuang Fan will easily become the target of the blood clan's attack, and his personal safety may be threatened.
It seems that the power of the Nicholas family is not only reflected in politics, but also in the military.
But think about it, after all, it is a family with a strong person who fights the emperor, and the royal family should give enough face.
When the strength reaches their level, what they want to pursue should also be at a higher level. And the construction of the kingdom's power is also for them to better collect resources.
Kuang Fan replied with a normal face: "I think everyone should have their own secrets, right?"
"All I can say is that I have not accepted any patronage from any other power, so the family does not need to worry about my political position, and I have not betrayed my family's thoughts and practices, and when the time comes, I will explain to the head of the family what has happened to me during this time. ”
