"Your Excellency, there is something we want to trouble you." Mia Akagi suddenly said to the drunken He Xiao, with a very respectful attitude.

"Say! Just say! All to your satisfaction! He Xiao looks like a landlord and an old man.

"Excuse me, Your Excellency, when will the salary you owe us be paid to us?"

"Poof...... I owe you wages?!!!!! He Xiao suddenly came to his senses and looked at the housekeeper Old Peter.

He was really shocked that his dignified Duke would be in arrears with the maid's salary???

He counted, there are only 5 people in the Duke's Mansion except himself, and they can still owe wages, how poor is this!

"Your Excellency, this is true, and in addition, you also owe me my salary, in fact, Your Excellency, you have a personal debt of 4.52 million Ordinary Pounds, and the Executive Office has a fiscal deficit of 22 million Ordinary Pounds." Old Peter, the butler, said politely.

“……”

He Xiao was completely speechless, originally thought that he could completely lie down when he became this duke, and indulged in wine every day, but he didn't expect that he owed millions and tens of millions of financial deficits!

Wrong!

It occurred to him that he had once written in Dimensionpedia: "The island is remote, the economy is relatively backward, a large number of daily necessities need to be imported, prices are high, and the income from tourism is far from enough to make up for the trade deficit!" ”

Gan! It turns out that the culprit is himself! What a cheap hand! Why do you write like that!

If it had been written that "the island has a developed economy, is known as the little star woman in the Pacific Ocean, has the world's top ten offshore oil fields, and is also a global offshore financial center, with a private wealth of 500 billion pounds", wouldn't there be no such trouble!

But if you really write like this, it is estimated that you will not be able to achieve the three indicators, and it will not be possible.

It is not easy to get more than 100,000 people to read it and have a trust rate of more than 98%.

There is a high probability that they will not even be able to pass the dimensional audit, because a place that is so developed and hides the richest man in the world cannot be that they have not heard of it.

It seems that in the future, it is necessary to be conservative in editing new entries, not too exaggerated, too exaggerated will easily lead to a low trust rate and the task cannot be completed.

For example, if he edits an encyclopedia entry for [Ambrera Technology Company] now, and then writes that the company is privately owned by him, owns alien technology, and is the most powerful black technology company on Blue Star, such an entry, the people who believe it must be a minority, and it is impossible to achieve such a high trust rate of 98%, then it is impossible to come true.

……

Since He Xiao went abroad for a leave of absence, his WeChat has been in a state of explosion.

There are at least hundreds of private messages every day, and there are many people @ him in the class group and fellow villager group.

The phone and video calls also kept ringing, and he turned on Do Not Disturb directly.

Because he was too busy and there were too many messages, it was not easy to reply, so except for his parents and family, he didn't reply, and he didn't even look at it.

As for his parents, they should not know about their son's inheritance of the duke's title at present, and the media has not yet found them.

Now that he has time, he decided to take a look, and he can't let his former classmates think that he is developed and ignore people.

When the news got out, it was not good for the image of Duke Hawke.

First of all, roommate Chen Bainian's.

"Xiaozi! Xiaozi! Why didn't you answer the phone when I called you? Are you really going to inherit the dukedom? It's outrageous! ”

"Why don't you reply to me, you guy, are you afraid that I will borrow money from you? I'm not that kind of person! ”

"I read the news on the Internet, it should be true! I didn't expect you kid to be a hidden nobleman! I really envy to death! I'm going to take my sister to your place to play during the summer vacation, so it's not too much for you to treat us as VIPs! ”

"You know what! My favorite barrage station up main little khan has been updated! Magical Family Series! It's the Hawke family that's written! Rely on! You're so face-saving! After watching so many episodes, I didn't expect the magical family to be by my side! ”

He Xiao clicked on the video link first, and when he went in, he was really a little khan......

The title of this issue is: Magical Family 112, how the people of Dongzhou inherited the dukedom of Xizhou in the Eastern Ocean......

With the familiar march of the little Khan...... Yes, this is the smell, yes.

After watching the content of the whole video, he felt that Little Khan was really different from those marketing accounts, and in some marketing accounts, the Hawke family has become a mysterious family comparable to the Rod Childs family and the Dupont family......

And Little Khan's video, at least the content is more evidence-based, and it is not entirely derived from He Xiao's own dimensional encyclopedia, but also includes some unpopular physical books, such as "The History of the Hawke Family", "The Duke of Xizhou on the Eastern Ocean", "The History of the Pacific Colonization of the Commonwealth", etc......

In fact, these books were originally made up by He Xiao in order to increase credibility, as evidence from the source of the Dimension Encyclopedia, and they are not real books, but obviously, after the change of the world line, these books have become real books, so the little Khan can find them in the library.

After watching the video, He Xiao replied to her roommate Chen Bainian: "I'm sorry, I've been too busy these days." ”

"No problem, if you come, you will definitely treat you as a VIP, but you must bring reliable people, not too many people, and don't make a noise, don't disclose my information to the outside world, I don't want to be too high-profile."

Other friends, He Xiao also replied one by one, but it was only a polite reply and did not reveal any information.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, I'm too busy to reply in time now, please forgive me."

Then he saw a message from Lin Yishu, the goddess of the academy: "Hello classmate He, I heard some news about you, I don't know if it's true, take the liberty to verify it, of course, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer." ”

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, I'm too busy to reply in time now, please forgive me."

He Xiao made another copy and gave it back to her.

He flipped through the Internet again and found that he is now well-known on the domestic Internet, but he has not yet reached the point of becoming a household name.

Because the old Peter asked the school to cooperate with the secrecy, the school did not dare to slack off for fear of involving diplomatic incidents, and has always refused to respond, refused to be interviewed, and asked some students who know the matter to keep it secret for him, so most netizens do not know his real name, let alone dig out his family background.

That's fine, if it's too famous, it's inconvenient to make up new entries about yourself in the future, so you still have to maintain a bit of mystery.

……

On the other hand, after He Xiao had a long talk with the old butler Peter, he had a deep understanding of the Dukedom of Hawke and his own economic situation.

If you can't say it's bad, it's very bad.

He, the Duke of Hawke, is actually a village chief with a relatively high level of force, and he does not have very exaggerated power, after all, it is already the 22nd century, and it is impossible to have the power of life and death like the nobles of the Middle Ages, have the personal ownership of their subjects, and even have the right to stay at night for all the girls in the legendary territory.

So neither the butler Old Peter, nor the two maids, were really servants, but more like clerks or housekeepers hired to maintain the dignity of the duke......

However, the Duke's Mansion is still quite rowed, it is a villa, covering an area of 20 acres, with 2 specialized cleaners.

Not far from the Duke's Mansion is the Dukedom Administration, the real administrative department of the Dominion, which houses 10 public officials, namely the Administrative Commissioner, the Financial Commissioner, the Tourism Commissioner, the Ceremonial Commissioner, and 6 Sheriffs.

Among them, the administrative commissioner is the most powerful, and is concurrently served by the steward Peter Sr.

Similar to a village council, the Duke himself is basically equivalent to the village chief, and Old Peter is equivalent to the executive deputy village chief.

After all, it is only a small place with a population of 800, and some villages in Dongguo have a population of more than 10,000......

These are not set by him in the Dimension Encyclopedia, but should be automatically completed according to the current world background when the world line changes.

I knew it and wrote it in detail, such as writing the right to the night......

But it seems that this will reduce the trust rate......

The income of the Duke's Mansion and the Executive Hall is separated.

The former, to put it bluntly, is the duke's private small treasury, and the latter is equivalent to the state treasury.

The main sources of annual income of the two are the same, which are of three kinds, one is tourism income, that is, ticket money, the second is the tax and dividend of the coconut company, and the third is the tax and dividend of the fishing company.

The Duke's Mansion earns only 240,000 Pounds per year, while the Executive Hall earns 2.2 million Pounds per year.

It may sound like a lot, but in fact, both sides are seriously struggling to make ends meet.

The Duke's Mansion has to talk about pomp and circumstance, and the salary of 5 servants for a year has to pay 80,000 ordinary pounds, plus the usual going abroad to have a party and make friends, 240,000 is not enough to spend, and what is even more deceitful is that the old duke was also deceived by a profiteer in Kangaroo Country, and invested in a spicy chicken project with debt, and the duke now has to repay a debt of 200,000 ordinary pounds a year......

No wonder the servants were not paid.

The administrative hall is not much better, although the income is 2.2 million pounds, but there are too many expenses every year, residents need to eat, drink fresh water, go to school, go to the doctor, maintain the ring road, and maintain the tourist airport......

It's all going to cost money......

The old duke is obviously not a good manager, and he also has a good face, resulting in a deficit of 1 million to 2 million every year, and now it has accumulated to more than 20 million......

It's basically on the verge of bankruptcy.

No wonder he took over the dukedom so easily, it turned out to be a mess!

Sounds reasonable.

It should be that when the world line changes, the system will refer to the current world background and try to justify itself as much as possible, so that this world will not have serious logical bugs, and it will not deviate too much from the original world.
