The high-rise building of the Finance Department, the hall on the first floor has a height of more than 10 meters, and the second floor is a 3-meter-high room at the beginning, and a few rooms need to accommodate demigods or legends, and the two floors will be opened up and down into a large office with a height of 6 meters.

Gordon Campbell introduced Rand to the departments of each office, as well as the main work contents, people, and even projects or funds handled by the department.

Hearing Tsavron Helen mention that no one knew how many people there were in the Treasury Department, Rand thought it was incredible, but now that he learned that there were 12 knights, 12 fleets, 6 dancing priesthoods, and 25 farms under the name of the Finance Department, he probably understood the scale of this super department.

"Lord Gordon, you're not very kind!"

Rand, who was taken around several times by Gordon Campbell, said with a wry smile, "I didn't have the slightest intention of confronting the Finance Department yesterday, but I feel like I'm parading the public by you today!" ”

"Lord Rand, you misunderstood, this is the request of His Excellency Frank, he asked me to introduce you more," Gordon was now sweating, he simply did not dare to do anything else according to the request of the secretary of the Ministry of Finance.

After all, Rand really does what he says, and he can curse them in front of the legend, no matter how dissatisfied he is with Rand, no one dares to express it to his face.

"In my opinion, it's better to install the magic furnace as soon as possible, I still want to go back to Night Qicheng as soon as possible." Rand said.

"Yes, my lord, let's go down now." Gordon took Rand to the prepared magic furnace room, where the people of the Salt Iron Division and the Magic School had been waiting for a long time, and Rand only took ten minutes to install it.

However, when Rand returned to the hall on the first floor of the Treasury Hall, he found that the entire hall was already filled with mages in the building.

Under the sculpture belonging to the goddess of wealth, only in front of the Imperial Civil Governor Hanfei Apopbi, the chief secretary of the Treasury Frank Douglas, and the chief of the Imperial Household Agency, there is a small open space.

"Ah, Sir Rand, please come over for a moment, Sir Hanfei has a decree from His Majesty!" As soon as Frank saw Rand coming, he quickly took him to the clearing.

As soon as Rand arrived, the golden light flashed in front of Han Fei, and the divine voice echoed throughout the hall: "Rant, a descendant of the existing galloping horse family, is diligent in royal affairs, loyal and brave, and has been crowned the Duke of Night Qicheng first, the Duke of the Empire, and the assistant treasurer of the royal family, and the rest of the titles are appointed and dismissed by the Great Council." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Rand knew that this was the emperor's appointment and dismissal, and that things like recovering the galloping kingdom or establishing a principality had to go through the Great Council, and the emperor's highest authority was to appoint and remove the imperial nobles and court nobles.

"The emperor is really a descendant of his hometown, and the holy decree he issued has such a hometown flavor." Rand said something in his heart, and walked up to Han Fei.

"Lord Lante, His Majesty the Divine Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor mean that you are very familiar with the Demon Furnace and the Demon Net, as well as the finances, and you should give full play to your strengths and manage the Finance Department more." Han Fei personally brought two duke's badges to Rand, and said loudly,

"Your actions yesterday were completely correct, and individual personnel not only failed the burden entrusted to them by the Empire and His Majesty, but even had no fear, treating every opportunity as a means of collecting money, and the nobles of the Empire as their tenants."

"Thank you for your support." Rand could feel himself being watched by a myriad of guarded, resistant, and suspicious eyes.

"Duke Rand, congratulations!" Frank Douglas immediately stepped forward to congratulate, "You also inspected the main office room just now, and I have arranged for the heads of various departments to report to you immediately on the current situation of the Finance Department." ”

Frank knows very well that the current nominal Minister of Finance is the emperor's own grandson, and Rand, the assistant minister, is equivalent to the real director who actually presides over the work, and the emperor probably means to use this position to tie up Rand, which can not only offset the turmoil within the Ministry of Finance yesterday, but also balance the views of the outside world on this matter.

"Sir Frank, don't worry, Lord Rant is busy right now, there's no need to manage those things in your department right now." Han Fei stopped Frank in a hurry, and then said to Rand: "According to the regulations, these current badges only mean that you have these titles, and the official canonization will not be officially appointed until the end of the year, that is, on December 1, after Your Majesty confers you the Grand Cross of the Divine Emperor and the Order of the Imperial Great Mangxing." ”

"Thank you for the reminder." Rand said quickly.

Han Fei made a gesture of "please", took Lan Te out of the Finance Hall, and introduced him intimately as he walked: "My Majesty, Your Majesty has personally made the duke, this is the highest honor of the entire Galloping Horse Family in 300 years, you should go to the palace in person before December 1 to salute and thank you." ”

Han Fei said that the thanksgiving gift, Yaweni Jinyue also mentioned before, the great nobles should offer their own treasures to the royal family, and the royal family will give it back as a sign of grace.

Normally, the nobles' magic fairies, mid-to-high-level magic plants, and magical equipment that have reached the legendary level are all given by legends or gods, and cannot be transferred to the royal family, so they can only offer their own mounts.

"By the way, Princess Mengqiya also hopes that you can build some houses for the thunder beasts and earth dragons in the Shanglin Garden according to the treatment of the black-scaled horses." Han Fei didn't forget to remind Lante, "She also said that if you are offering a magical beast, you can also take it directly to Shanglin Yuan. ”

"Wait a minute, you just called His Excellency Meng Qiya the princess?" Rand was a little stunned, he felt as if he knew the emperor's incredible hobby.

"Yes, His Majesty the God Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor each have a legendary mount, and they have been given the titles of Prince and Princess respectively," Han Fei suddenly understood Lante's thoughts, and said with a smile, "If any of your magical beasts can also reach the Legend, I suggest that you also canonize it to ensure that her clan is under your control." ”

Seeing Hanfei Apopbi and Rand leave, the hall of the Ministry of Finance fell into a long silence, and a large group of bureaucrats of the Ministry of Finance stood in place, not daring to speak or move.

It wasn't until Rand and the others left completely that Gordon Campbell cautiously asked Frank Douglas.

"Your Excellency? You see what we do below......"

"Below?" Frank came to the spirit all at once,

"If the Duke of Rand takes office on December 1st, and asks me how many people there are in the Treasury Department, how much money the empire earns in a year, and how many projects are there now, how can I reply to him? What would he do if he didn't get an answer and called each supervisor individually, only to find that he still didn't know anything? ”

Frank's voice echoed in the hall, and he seemed to understand the emperor's intention of sending Rand over, this is a ruthless person who can really bypass many cumbersome procedures and give people precise punishment from the magic level.
