Volume 1 - The Famous Men of Fei Leng Emerald Chapter 12 - Nature's Blessings
With the help of the Earl of Fei Leng Cui and the publicity of the Nanshan Consular Office, coupled with the news of the upcoming arrival of the Gonow Chamber of Commerce, the sales of tulip porcelain gradually opened up, so that Perth's financial situation gradually improved, and the food on the table became more and more abundant.
After the early morning of cultivation, Perth had eaten a hearty breakfast under the service of the attendants, and the steward of Ston came over and said, "Mr. Nader, the consul, has asked to see you, and is already waiting for you." ”
"Wait a minute, I'll see him in the study." Perth had long thought that after that order was issued, Nader would definitely look for him. So Perth looked accustomed to it, put down the napple and said.
......
In the study,
Nader said sincerely, "You know, not only do I need assistants to share my work, but the number of officials in the city hall needs to be further expanded. ”
Obviously, Nader has his own ideas for Perth, after all, his decisions until Perth have been of great help to the sustainable development of the territory, as well as to establish a good image and better establish the order of the territory, and it has won the support of the people.
And if a new department is created, another of his assistants, Susan, will have to take charge of the new department.
For the increasingly powerful Knights and the increasingly prosperous and rapidly developing Tulip Collar, the city hall, which still only has three or two kittens, not only cannot keep up with the pace of development, but also is not conducive to the restraint and prestige of the city hall within the territory, and even the issuance of government decrees in the future.
Of course, these Nader can't be named. But as a qualified political official, Nader can steer clear of these sensitive topics and speak out for upright reasons.
So in the study, Nader took the opportunity of the establishment of the "Manpower Administration" and the woodland hunting ground in Perth to put forward his proposal.
Perth understands that he has even had an idea about it. He even looked fully supportive, and said with a smile, "Archon Nader, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely find a suitable assistant to help you."
And, I allow that later, as consul, you will have two places for assistants, and the town hall will pay them a salary of 60 silver Madrid per month.
And the staff of the subordinate departments of the city hall have a salary of 50 silver Madrid per month, and each subordinate department can have a corresponding official to rule, and you will have the absolute right to recommend and dismiss. ”
Nader also knew that this was the most satisfactory answer, but for the idea of building a special hunting ground in Perth, Nader thought about it and thought that he still had to say.
So he went on to say, "As your consul, of course I support your decision.
But I have to tell you, you may not know, but this requires an additional fee on top of the monthly salary of 3 gold Madrid per knight.
And you know, there's no guarantee that no one will poach, even people from outside their territory. Therefore, it is very necessary to set up a special forest ranger and patrol team to patrol and supervise the hunting grounds and woodlands at all times.
But all of these need Madrid as a basic support. ”
I have to say that Nader, as an archon, thinks very comprehensively, although he is a little cautious, but this is exactly what Perth is happy to see, after all, the harmonious political situation is not what he wants to see.
And in terms of money, Perth is obviously not worried, and the stable income of 600 gold per month in Madrid is his confidence.
So he said unconcernedly, "You're right, Archon Nader, but we need to have faith. I don't think the Gio Chamber of Commerce will disappoint us, don't you think? ”
For Perth's explanation and self-confidence, Nader, who has achieved his goal, he knows very well that Perth will not speak big.
Then he happily said, "Of course, my Excellency, for the charm and value of porcelain, it is an indisputable fact, a miraculous existence.
But we have to think about the construction in the spring, as well as the increase in personnel and increasing expenses. ”
Perth thought to himself, it would be nice to count the money allocated to the town hall last time to hold on to it until now. He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "I will allocate another 700 gold Madrid to you as the town's expenses." I think that's enough for the town hall to last until tomorrow spring. ”
Seeing Perth's generosity, Nader happily said, "Of course, and I promise you, I will give you a satisfactory result!" ”
Perth is also thinking about how to maximize the benefits of the forest, as the owner of all the land for tulips, he is not willing to spend manpower and material resources into a public welfare industry.
After a long pause, Perth continued, "In addition, there may be some speculative adventurers and mercenaries among the predators of the forest, and the tone will make everyone travel thousands of miles to trade elsewhere, and perhaps we can also set up a shop or tavern to buy prey, and set up a supply store next to the forest.
This will not only enrich and facilitate the lives of Tulip Townspeople, but also make the town's economy more active, increase the income of residents, and solve the problems of some townspeople's jobs and livelihoods, attracting more people to settle here. ”
Nader listened to Perth's words, quickly took out the parchment and recorded Perth's words, and excitedly praised, "You are really a genius, my Lord Baron!"
This is great news for the inhabitants of the realm, and your people will surely praise your generosity and kindness! ”
When the matter was settled, Perth remembered the words of Steward Steward, and said to Nader, "Alright, Mr. Nader, if there is nothing to do, you can go and get busy."
Steward Ston has recently been tidying up the tulip garden left behind by my mother, Mrs. Naji, and I want to check it out too. ”
"Nader retires, Your Excellency Perth." Nader bowed and withdrew with a satisfied expression.
........
The back garden of Tulip Fort covers a vast area, with towering trees, different flower shapes, delicate and beautiful statues, and even several flower gardens of various types.
Although the cold winter made them a little desolate, only a snow-pink plum bloomed as the only decoration in the winter. It is not difficult to imagine that if it were not for the death of Lady Naji, it would have been abandoned for many years. So when spring and summer come, what kind of scenery should it be?
Nagy Forbos, who created all this, should be a reverie as the mother of the Sun Elves, the former Countess of Tulip, the Countess of Filene, Perth.
Perth, dressed in a snow-white mink cape, walks alone in a back garden covered in silver.
In fact, he was more curious about why Ston suddenly decided to rectify the "Tulip Garden", after all, this is not a flower that can bloom in winter.
It wasn't until Perth passed through the winding and secluded gravel road that it was discovered that the former wall had collapsed at some point, and the mottled moss had already climbed the ruins.
The originally exquisitely carved stone pillars have also collapsed on the stone steps due to the erosion of spring water emerging from the ground. Crystal clear underground springs gurgle down, and even the jagged rockery under the stone steps has been transformed into a small waterfall, eventually leading to a wild pond.
Even in the cold winter, there is no sign of freezing, but with some dilapidated beauty, there is a bit of garden interest.
Even Perth, whose soul is powerful, is keenly aware that the air here is filled with a damp water vapor flowing in the air.
The faint element of water swells from time to time with the sound of flowing water, turning into a blue halo through the ground in winter, as if attracted by something.
Following the convergence of the water elementals, Perth walked into the vine-entangled garden walls, and saw Ston and Chuck in full swing directing serfs and servants to tidy up the overgrown tulip garden.
"Quickly clean up these weeds, this will be the place where the most beautiful tulips will be born, but don't be sloppy!" Steward Ston ordered hurriedly.
Chuck on the side saw the energetic Old Ston, not only asked with some suspicion, "You came to me just to set up a magic array to attract water elements in this barren tulip garden?" ”
Hearing Chuck's skeptical tone, Ston not only said excitedly, "Listen to the old thing, although you are a great druid, you don't despise my ability as a "nature sensitive"! ”
Old Chuck touched the sparkling emerald antlers on his head, and said with some disgust, "I can't imagine how you had to choose the useless profession of "Elemental Envoy" in the first place! ”
Obviously, although the "Elemental Enabler" can sense and understand the fluctuations of nature, Chuck Pan, as a great druid, is very despised by this profession that can only be passed down by blood.
Seeing Old Chuck's appearance, Steward Ston snorted arrogantly and said, "How can the superficial "druid" understand the responsibilities of our "elemental envoys", that is the mission given to us by nature, and when I awaken the elemental bloodline, I will definitely let you admit the power of the "elemental envoys"!" ”
In fact, Perth knows the horror of the so-called "elemental envoys", and believes that old Chuck also understands.
However, the limitations of the elemental envoy are too great, if there is no bloodline of the elemental envoy in the body, it will not be able to condense the spirit bead in the body and control the power of the natural element.
This has also led to the gradual loss of this ancient race's bloodline profession, and even disappeared into the history of Hogworth.
But even if old Chuck knew, he seemed to be used to it, shrugged his shoulders and made a pretentious mocking appearance, and said, "Oh~ is it? I'm so scared! ”
Steward Ston didn't have the heart to argue with Chuck, because he would have an endless fight until old Chuck's temper, and besides, he still had a lot of work to do.
Instead, she continued to sense the convergence of the elements of this garden, and said, "This is a blessing from nature, and every time a new magic plant is about to be born, nature will bless her child and help her child grow strong and bloom with its own charm, just like now."
It was as if I heard the joy of the water element and felt the tenderness of the earth. ”
"Well, then, honorable elemental envoy, "Your Excellency, can you tell me the reasons and basis for your judgment?" As a druid with combat attributes, Chuck obviously couldn't feel the convergence of the elements, so he asked.
At this time, Perth, who had been watching for a long time, walked in and said with a smile, "I think the steward of Ston judged the migration of underground water veins based on the pond outside the tulip garden, so as to feel the steaming water element, and followed the traces to find this place, right?" ”
"Lord Perth." The two turned their heads and saluted in parallel.
