In the kingdom of God at the station, Rand's wedding did not take place for long, Wendy, Gleia and Cardinal put on rings, each kissed Rand, and then accepted the worship of the four priests of Lili, Faneuil, Autumn Grass and Edith, and it was over.

At the ensuing feast, Rand sat in the middle, with Greia, Wendy, and Cardinal sitting beside him, eating barbecue while watching Autumngrass and Faneuil dance.

"Rand, actually, it's okay if you don't share the priesthood with us."

Gleia, who leaned next to Rant, whispered.

"I've been wondering what my lady is going to call me, how I'm going to face me, and what position I'm going to have in this station," Rant, putting down his food and watching the two girls dance, continued, "In the end, I still feel that you, as part of the construction of the Furnace, deserve to enjoy the power of faith that the Furnace brings. ”

Suddenly, Rand looked at the Dragon Maiden and said with a smile, "Besides, in addition to the Demon Furnace, I can also be a shovel god and a barbarian god." ”

"You're almost the same as your ancestors, and you don't look serious," the dragon girl said angrily, "but what about later?" Jonny, Sophia, and Faneuil are also involved in the Furnace, as well as Firefly, Kaye, Jenny, Honey, and even Aveni Golden Moon, who the Tower of Innocence has always wanted to stuff for you, and the Elenda Maned Wolf, and maybe Britt Landarin in the future, Imora Longhorn next to Agni, and even Caterina ......"

"Honey, eat more meat!" Rand couldn't help but feed a small piece of steak to Greya, "Some earth spirits and cat gods yearn for the divine banquet here, you eat more." ”

"Rand, you have this skill, or help me look at the accounts," the little cardinal also picked up a piece of steak and said while eating, "The Imperial Capital Finance Department urges me to repay the debt every day, and His Excellency Klein mentioned it to me just now, saying that if they don't pay it back, the cost of their settlement will be tens of thousands of gold coins, and they will have to add it to the bill." ”

As soon as the dance was over, Faneuil ran to the table and said to the cardinal: "You should cherish the dance that I and Autumn Grass have rehearsed, and don't eat while watching and talking." ”

"Huh? I'm a priest with Rand, shouldn't you be my priest too? ”

"Hey, my God," Faneuil said with great respect for Rand, but that didn't mean that that respect could be transferred in one night, "There's a kind of you don't want to ask me for a dream simulation tomorrow!" ”

"Oops, my good fox!" When the little cardinal heard this, he immediately changed his face, "I was joking just now, we'll see you in my dream tomorrow night!" ”

Gulya smiled and asked, "Don't you have your own lock?" Can't you use it for simulation? ”

"It's too late for the misty lock to undertake data calculations in various places now, how can I have extra time to simulate!" "Especially the bills of the Ministry of Finance, but they are troublesome, and thousands of pages of documents are moved in boxes. ”

The little cardinal suddenly hugged Faneuil tightly, and said happily: "Faneuil, I was really joking just now, don't you care!" ”

The interaction between Cardinal and Faneuil made Wendy giggle, and although the territory had changed dramatically, the relationship between the sisters was still equal and warm.

……

On the morning of the 26th, in the locked conference room, Cardinal and Wendy faced a group of officials from the Imperial Treasury Department.

The table between them was full of account documents, which were the whereabouts of the Empire's subsidy to the territory when fighting the orcs.

In the past few days, the little cardinal wanted to save 1.8 million gold coins from it, but after several checks, she did not find any flaws. It wasn't until last night, at the station, that Rand gave her a little advice, and just now she had specifically confirmed it once, that she had this negotiation with the Imperial Treasury Department.

"Mrs. Cardinal, Mrs. Wendy, and the two Gui'an," Gordon Campbell of the Treasury Department took the lead in greeting the two girls, "I didn't expect that the two ladies would have the time and energy to deal with this arrears when they were newly married." ”

Jacob Shubin also smiled and said: "Yes, we still suggest that Night Qicheng adopt the form of debt-to-equity swap, and use the profits of each magic workshop as repayment, so that you can also enjoy a lot of subsidies from the Ministry of Finance." ”

"Thanks to the kindness of the Department of Finance, after careful calculations, we believe that it is the most cost-effective to settle it all at once," Cardinal shook his head and rejected the proposal of the Department of Finance, "The Department of Finance of Yeqicheng currently advocates clear accounts rather than turning every account into an investment product.

"Then we'll listen to the arrangement of the two of you," Jacob sneered in his heart, but still pretended to say, "There is no one like Night Qicheng who can take out 2 million gold coins at one time."

After nodding to Wendy to confirm, Cardinal asked, "We came today just to confirm with the two of you, are you really sure that the conversion and transformation of more than a dozen workshops in Night Qicheng City actually cost more than 1.5 million gold coins?" ”

Without any hesitation, Jacobin said, "Of course, all the expenditure accounts are in these books in front of you, and if you have any objections, you can check them at any time." ”

Wendy spoke at this time: "We have no problem with the accounts, but we have a big doubt about the profitability of these workshops, according to the calculations of these accounts, a factory needs nearly 100,000 gold coins to upgrade the cost, not counting the training and expansion expenses of the mage and the magicians in the factory, according to this cost and profit, it will take about 10 years for a workshop to recover these costs." ”

"But in Night Qi City, it only costs about 2-30,000 gold coins to build a new workshop like this, and the profitability of our workshop is far greater than that of the Ministry of Finance." "Are you really sure that these workshops are worth investing in? Don't you calculate the ratio of input to output before input? ”

"Amount......" The two officials of the Ministry of Finance glanced at each other, their faces were embarrassed, of course they knew that although this account was calculated very clearly, it would include the dividends of the workshop in the next few decades, the payment of taxes, etc., all of which were included in the cost, and this kind of account magic could not be said explicitly.

Looking at the faces of the two of them, the little cardinal probably understood the routine of the Imperial Treasury Department.

Just this morning, she gave the same account to the old goblin Mogruk to take a look, but she didn't expect that this financial originator 10,000 years ago would explain the problem at once.

The Ministry of Finance first set an error on a certain basic data that is not exaggerated, and then continuously amplified the error through various means to achieve a cost that seems to be fine, but is 4-5 times larger than the actual data.

The old goblin casually pointed to the origin of the error, and then said: "All your checks are approved on the original calculations, but they are full of empirical formulas, and many empirical formulas will also multiply the exact calculation conclusions by a coefficient of 5-10 times, so no matter how simple the calculations are, they can't be counted." ”

"Wait, don't you mean that they completely dominate the control from the algorithm, and no matter how I calculate, I can't jump out of his algorithm?"

"From the ledger, it looks like this, but in fact it is not necessarily."

The old goblin saw that the little cardinal still didn't react, and simply said, "For example, there is always a cost to the transformation of the magic factory in our territory, right?" Since they have deviated so much, it depends on how much their final production scale has expanded, and how much benefit the input has brought, if the cost is too high and the benefit is too small......"

"Then just abandon these factories and build new ones." The little cardinal nodded, looking at the old goblin's complacent appearance, she suddenly realized that although the former demigod was a waste in magic, he was the ancestor of the Imperial Capital Finance Department when it came to making fake accounts.

"I didn't expect you, Mogrok, to see those guys' tricks at a glance!"

Not only the cardinals, but even Wendy, who usually doesn't like goblins very well, is also eyed this time.

"Of course, my interstellar mine was so fooling the demigods of the audit committee, and they didn't understand where I was cheating!" "In the end, they promised not to audit my ledger again, so I gave them my entire set of algorithms so they could fool the other committees." ”

"Well, the fake accounts for tens of thousands of years are all calculated from you, right?"
