929. The Magic Furnace and the Treasury Department

On the first floor of the Temple of the Furnace, a row of long tables had been arranged, and Rand, Zolleka, Klein, and Partin V had signed their names on each of the four contracts, stamping the four Great Seals of the Galloping Horse Kingdom, the Church of Wealth, the Royal Foundation, and the Southeast Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, I thank you on behalf of the Southeastern Kingdom," Paltyn V said happily, "Originally, I thought you would have some misunderstandings about the Southeast, but it turns out that your loyalty to the Empire and His Majesty Willy cannot be shaken!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and here I would also like to thank His Majesty the Great God Emperor, the Temple of Wealth," Rand also said, "Of course, there is also my fellow Marquis of Fiat, especially under his management, more than a dozen workshops can deliver to Night Qicheng on time, in good quality and quantity, so that I can make up my mind to install the magic furnace here!" ”

"Oh, yes," said Paltyn V, with an unnatural expression, patted Fiat on the shoulder, "my marquis, since you and His Majesty Rand are of the same clan, you must take us with you if you have business!" ”

"Uh...... Hehe" Fiat Galloping smiled awkwardly, and quickly explained, "Look at what you said, not all of the Workshop Alliance are my family, don't everyone have shares?" ”

It was after the recovery of Night Qi City that Fiat was the first nobleman in the Southeast Kingdom to jump up and scold Rand, and even spend time trying to pull the relationship and question Rand's bloodline.

After the orcs were hostile to the rand, it was he who tried his best to prevent the protection policy on the Prancing Plains from taking effect in the Great Council, and even sent his family to the orc territory to secretly collude.

Even after Rant's victory, he still went around the kingdom to promote Rand's close relationship with Red Dragon Rock and his lack of friendship with the coastal nobles.

However, in terms of business, Fiat is indeed the closest business partner of Night Kirk, half of the workshops are supplying the magic plates, and the other half are supplying the river ships of the Rand.

As the object of support of the Galloping Horse Fund, Fiat's workshops enjoy subsidies and procurement preferences from the Imperial Department of Finance, so the workshops of various families in the kingdom will be under his alliance.

However, Fiat's behavior of doing business with people while scolding people made the nobles present instinctively think that he was preventing other nobles from directly contacting Night Qicheng.

Rand looked at Fiat in an embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my cooperation with Fiat started just a few months ago, originally only because I was going to withdraw from the Galloping Horse Fund, hoping to give some subsidies to other members of the family, so I placed an order with the Marquis's workshop.

However, after many exchanges with the Marquis, he assured me that the workshops of the entire Southeastern Kingdom were as good as his. ”

"Really?" As soon as Palting V heard this, he glanced at Fiat.

"Ah......" The Marquis looked at Rand in embarrassment, and turned to look at the king.

Landt nodded and said, "Of course, Fiat came to me with several coastal nobles and expressed this meaning to me. ”

"Oh, yes," Paltyn V finally smiled, "Fiat is right, our workshops here are very good, and I believe that our products will be more recognized in the future." ”

Of course, there was a grand luncheon after the signing, and this was the first time that Rand had held a banquet on Fiat territory, but both the dishes and the wine came from the Pure Tower of the Imperial Capital.

After giving a speech at luncheon, Rand hurried out of the main dining room to a separate diner where he dined with the legends.

"Your Majesty Rand, as the chief secretary of the Treasury Department, I would like to express my greatest protest against the irresponsible financing plan reached by you and His Excellency Klein bypassing the Treasury Department!"

As soon as he saw Rand seated, Frank Douglas, the chief secretary of the Treasury Department, got up and said.

"What's even more unbelievable is that if it weren't for the occasional talk from the secretary of the Treasury Department of Solandal City, I wouldn't even know that there is a new magic furnace to be installed here today, and your actions are simply a blasphemy of your duties as assistant treasurer!"

"I think that as an assistant treasurer, I should be responsible for the fiscal policy of the Empire, not for the Treasury Department to get gold coins!" Rand said expressionlessly, "Your Excellency Frank, the Treasury Department is the Empire's Treasury Department, don't you feel uneasy looking at the current redundancy of the Treasury Department and the high financing costs of the Empire?" ”

"This ......" Frank opened his mouth, unable to swallow this breath, and did not dare to refute it.

After becoming a legend, this is the first time that a nobleman has criticized the entire Finance Department in front of him, if it is an ordinary nobleman, he will definitely let the other party suffer various debt traps,

If it was another Imperial official, he would definitely make the other party regret saying this, but the person who spoke was the assistant governor of the Ministry of Finance, and he was also a member of the Demon Net.

Rand knew that Frank was not convinced, and he did not dare to oppose himself openly, so he continued: "Your Excellency, I repeat, it is impossible for me to agree to the Magic Furnace Coupon Plan proposed by the Finance Department, the Magic Furnace cannot be financialized,

In addition, I have fully expressed my idea of financing the Demon Furnace to the Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor, and I have received their support, and the temple under our feet today and the workshop in the future park are the first step in my idea. ”

"It's unbelievable!" Frank simply put down the wine glass in his hand, turned away in a huff, and said as he walked, "I can't believe that the rest of the Empire will agree!" ”

"Poof~" The legendary dragon Zolaika couldn't help laughing, originally she didn't need to come in person today, but when she heard that Frank was coming, she couldn't help but come along.

Sure enough, Rand did not disappoint Zoleka, not only resolutely resisted the magic furnace coupon made by the Finance Department, but also scolded Frank in person, such a scene can finally make up for her regret that she couldn't see the panda during the day.

"Rand, don't worry, the Temple of Wealth will always be your backing!" Zhuolaika also stood up, "I still have several babies waiting for me at home, so I won't accompany you!" ”

When the legendary dragon was gone, only Rand, Crane, Ben Kaul, and St. Peter of the Temple League were left at the table, and the scene suddenly turned from lively to deserted.

"Your Majesty, it seems that it is finally my turn to speak," the demigod priest St. Peter said slowly, "May I ask which god gave you the title of Forge?" ”

"Your Majesty Willy, He not only canonized this title, but also presided over my wedding, and the entire Demon Net has witnessed." Rand replied without hesitation.

"......" The demigod priest was stuck for a few seconds, and asked again: "So have you, the Demon Furnace Temple, been recognized by the Empire?" ”

"Of course, His Majesty the Tidesman found me before and told me about the priesthood and title of the Rand, and later the priest of the Goddess of Wealth also came to me and explained the matter of the Demon Furnace Temple, and this matter is not only known to His Majesty the Divine Emperor, but also to His Majesty the Pope." Klein spoke directly for Rand.
