318. Guests, Properties, and Funds

Because it was already evening when Rand arrived in Dragon's Tooth City, after reporting several times in the palace, it was time to eat, and Rant, as the viscount of the palace, naturally had no chance to eat happily with the high-level of the kingdom, but His Majesty Dusen was very satisfied with Rand's success in blocking Kirislav to the east of the Lokirav Pass, and was even more satisfied with Rand being able to personally report the situation on the night of the 28th, so he arranged for Rand to dine alone in a small restaurant in the palace, and said that Rand would be crowned as the court count in the next two days.

Since Rand landed directly on Longtai Mountain on a griffin this time, and there were no horses when he left the palace, he still relied on Tierney, who lived nearby, to send Rand back to the Chamber of Commerce in the city.

The time for the canonization of the court earl was set for this Sunday, that is, May 33, and what made Rand a little depressed was that it only took 2 days from the 27th when he received the accident of Terisa to the 29th to completely solve the eastern border problem, but he therefore had to spend 4 days on the side of Dragon's Tooth City from the 29th to the 33rd before he could actually leave Dragon's Tooth City.

Fortunately, now that the main work on the Eastern Frontier is only to be completed, what Rand really needs to do is to buy a large amount of Warcraft meat to supply the three mid-level Warcraft that are competing with each other.

"My lord, I can be regarded as contacting you, Wendy has set up a communication room and magic mirror in the castle of White Wolf City, and currently needs to rely on magic crystals to maintain it," Rand contacted the little cardinal through the magic mirror at night, he has not received all kinds of information from the territory for a whole day,

"Judging from the news obtained by White Wolf City, Salma, Benny, and Xilena are all well-qualified, and have been affirmed by the gods, and it is expected that they will soon become junior priests." Rand asked Wendy to stop the ship on the 28th, just to wait for all the Life Priest apprentices and boilers, and now he is very relieved to hear that the apprentices are well qualified.

"The boiler has been put in place, Jonny and Fiana Furnace Mentor have tested the new magic pattern, and today, Teresa and Tynia have made some special breeding tanks. Mentor Tenya said that it would be best to come to the royal capital to find dragon blood thorns to experiment, and she was thinking about how to go to the royal capital more conveniently. ”

"I see, anyway, I have a court earl conferral ceremony on the 33rd, and I have to stay in the royal capital until then," Rand nodded.

"Well, the current Knights of the Eastern Frontier have decided to practice for two more days, and the Knight of the Bit White Owl has arrived, and he will lead the Knights with Mentor Teresa to escort the tribe of Tapara back to Nightqi." At present, there are a total of 4 high-level knights in the territory, once Rand is tied to the royal capital, the remaining 3 high-level knights have to be transferred in turn, and Rand and the magic goblins dare not let the tribe that keeps more than a dozen low-level demonic beasts act without authorization, so they can only make this decision.

"Things are relatively smooth in the west, Knight Petrau and Elsa Ironrock Mentor have arrived at Iowa Pass...... "Cardinal's report on the situation of the entire territory, from the east-west border to the Night Kirk City, Rotter, Iron Mine, Salt Mine, and even a few more prominent post castles.

She can even plan the import volume of grain and Warcraft meat for the next six months for the rand from the food consumption situation in various places.

And with this data witch, Rand can basically manage the entire galloping horse plain in the royal capital.

On the morning of the 30th, the Chamber of Commerce sent more than a dozen invitations to various balls and banquets for Rand, and the news that he was about to become the Earl of the Court spread as early as yesterday afternoon, and many of the surrounding viscounts and barons even came to the Chamber of Commerce hall to say hello.

Such a group of neighbors is not easy to deal with, especially since they all bring their 5th sons, 6th sons, or 4th daughters and 5th daughters in the hope that Rand will be able to arrange a place in their own Knights.

Rand has two lifetimes of experience in this kind of human affection, so he bluntly said that he will face the orc army within this year, and whichever child can defend the galloping horse, which family will keep the child.

The threat of war did make some neighbors hesitate, but no less than 10 families decided to leave their children behind on the spot.

After all, for these families, the establishment of the knights on the galloping horse plain is not in vain, and as for the risk of war, which war does not kill people?

How can the children of aristocratic families be afraid of risks?

"Oh, I really didn't expect the Earl of Lant to personally receive these guests" When the neighbors left one after another, the blue dragon of Antrechi came in at the right time,

"Your neighbors are all viscounts and barons of the court, and if you receive them in person in the future, I'm afraid you will be tired to death every day."

"That can't be helped, are they all neighbors," Rand said with a wry smile.

"Why, you're about to move in, even I know about it," Antrechi said with a smile.

"You have already taken the Night Qi City, a count of the archons is not running, His Majesty Du Sen has decided to hand over the previous station of the Galloping Horse Kingdom in Dragon's Tooth City to you, it is estimated that it will be a matter of the past two days."

"Huh?" Rand was a little surprised,

"Don't worry, it's a good place in the Longtai Mountains, so you don't have to squeeze here in the future."

"My Chamber of Commerce can't move to the mountains, can it?"

"Of course, fortunately, the Galloping Horse Family also had a large area at the foot of the mountain back then, just like in the Night Qi City, there was also a place inhabited by the Red Dragon, Blue Dragon, Flying Dragon, White Owl and other giant dragon kingdom families." Antrechi said with a winkled eyebrow, and when he heard this, Rand naturally understood his intention.

"Ah, if that's the case, then it's easy to do" Rand naturally began to follow the words of the blue dragon youth,

"It's just that most of the Night Qicheng is still in ruins, and there are some temples and magic platforms, and I don't know which one used to belong to our dragon kingdom family, so it's better to find time, let's have someone from each family, come to the map of Night Qicheng to recognize it, and then I'll send someone to clean it up"

"That's great, Lord McLaren said before I left, Lord Rand, you will definitely protect the interests of the dragon's nobles" With a good exchange of interests as a start, Antrechi took Rand to several properties in the Galloping Horse Kingdom, and in the carriage Blue Dragon brought up another thing that Rand had heard of but was not clear: the Galloping Horse Family Fund.

This fund can be traced back to before the death of the galloping horse, composed of the overseas assets and shares of the galloping horse kingdom, this money was not embezzled during the turmoil, but after the empire settled down, it became an angel investment fund for many mage workshops.

After hundreds of years of operation, the scale of funds has become so large that it has become the ballast stone of the Imperial Treasury Department and the coffers of the major kingdoms.

"Lord Lanter, Your Excellency McLaren asked me to remind you that at present, the Marquis of Fiat family is in charge of the distribution of annual interest, and the scale of interest alone is hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and the scale of its principal is already so large that it cannot be touched, please be sure to keep in touch with the dragon nobles before raising any principal-related matters to the Empire, such a huge amount of money is completely controlled by the legends of the imperial capital, the red dragon, the Kirislav and the elves, once you are not strong enough to take it back......" Antrechi's meaning is very clear, Mortals don't want to grab gold coins from evil dragons, and don't expect to rob the small coffers of the legends, instead of fighting the idea of the principal, it is better to take back the right to distribute interest.

"I'm not that stupid," Rand said very simply, he had seen a large number of bonds, shares and money transfer certificates in the documents of the Treasury Department, but he did not expect that the money could be rolled into a huge amount of money in a few hundred years.

Presumably, the financial departments in various places really regard this fund as a ballast stone, and only add or subtract figures from the accounts.

"I just want to know, on what basis does our own Marquis of Fiat allocate funds to the children of the galloping horses?"

"I heard that it was based on a royal family genealogy copied from Padmila Hill a hundred years ago." Antrechi said with some hesitation,

"Fiat's ancestors brought a replica from Night Kirk City."
