1005. Ushering in the New Year (Final Chapter)
In the luxurious box at the top of the stands, Agni, Black Rabbit and Meng Qiya, the muntjac who had come from the imperial capital, were sitting on benches watching the field.
"Rand's idea is brilliant," Monchia praised, "how much money do you have to earn for such a race?" ”
"After a year, there are actually no tens of thousands of gold coins." Agni said nonchalantly, "The key is to unite the once scattered herbivorous orcs so that they can also merge into the Galloping Horse Plains. ”
After several months of continuous improvement of the competition mode, the Horse Man Girl Race has become a comprehensive activity, which is a new tourist business card of the Night Qicheng, watching pandas, watching horse races, and soaking in hot springs have replaced the status of the previous Spring Festival, and improved the outside world's perception of the Night Qicheng.
For Night Qicheng, the income from these events and tourism is more transparent and healthy than the customs and industries that the priests control, so that Rand also has enough confidence to manage the sub-priests.
For the orcs, it is a year-round event, and the selected centaur maidens will become priests of the fire, parading the tribes to bring the will of the fire.
"Indeed, these girls come to Night Qi City, not only to compete, but also to learn to take care of the monsters, take care of the tribe, and deal with the various races in the Night Qi City, and in the future, when they become priests of fire and return to their original tribe, they will also become the bond of the tribe." Monchia saw the doorway.
"Yes, they not only have racing competitions, but also some professional competitions and evaluations, even if you can't be a priest, you can become a veterinarian or a housekeeper," Agni nodded, "but such a competition can gain the greatest influence and attract more tribes to join, and in the future, Rand is also going to set up a special school, which is for orcs." ”
The Black Rabbit looked at Agni's smug appearance and suddenly asked, "Where is your Imola gone?" I don't think I have seen her in months, and if you don't want her to be a priest, you can leave it to me. ”
"She, summoned by Her Majesty Lukea, has gone to the Southern Forest again, as if she is ready to attack the high rank."
The Warcraft were chatting, and they heard the voices of live commentators sounding in several circles: "Ladies and gentlemen, the first Night Qi Reward Mid-distance Finals is about to open, let's ......"
"Ahh Golden Boat She ......"
The starting signal was lit up, the horse gate instantly punched in, and 15 horsemen and girls galloped out, only one of them was on the side bar of the gate.
"The golden ship has not yet departed...... Not yet on the road! ”
"Rudolph's campaign is off to a good start now, with no mistakes......"
In the box, the three-headed demonic beast looked at the images in the monitoring circle and was also commenting.
"The one called the Golden Boat, it seems that many people are optimistic about her, how can she climb up to the side railing?" Monchia was a little puzzled.
"Hehe, that kid is like that, although his strength is very strong, he is easy to be funny." Agni said indifferently.
Monchia looked at "Hey, by the way, you are both here, what about the wolf and the tiger?" And foxes? Where have they gone? ”
"A few of them went to the imperial capital, and the Imperial Capital Finance Department recently asked Rand to sit there, saying that there were too many meetings at the end of the year, so Rand brought them all over, saying that they were going to be assistants."
"Let Warcraft go to the Finance Department as an assistant?" Monchia couldn't stand it a little, "It's really imaginative! ”
"The Rudolph symbol has come to the fourth corner and is rushing outside! Rudolph is on his way, Rudolph is on his way! The rattle parade is working hard! The rattle parade is on par with the emperor of the East China Sea...... Rudolph overtook it! Rudolph overtook ......"
As the crowd in the stands rejoiced, the results of the race were revealed, and a centaur named Rudolph won the first Mid-Range Championship of the Night Kirk.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in 1 hour, there will be a long distance final here, and in the afternoon there will be a medal ceremony,......
Amid the sound of the announcement, a considerable number of spectators left the arena, some went to the panda park, some went to the amusement park, and some went to the tavern with the horse racing tickets of the golden boat.
……
On the last day of the Imperial Capital Treasury in 998, all departments were busy with year-end settlements, with the legalists constantly shuttling through the halls, submitting and collecting various reports, and knights coming in and out, escorting boxes of gold coins and account books.
In the midst of this busy scene, Frank Douglas, the chief secretary of the Treasury Office, led a group of permanent secretaries to walk slowly down the corridor on the top floor, accompanying the most distinguished guest of the Treasury Office: Thenia Queen of the Magic Net.
"Lord Frank, you must have been busy for the last two days, right?" Tenya smiled and said, "I'm just here to find Rand, you don't have to stay with me like this." ”
Tainia had just finished her visit to all the fairy queens and was about to return to Night Qicheng, but she heard that Rand had been working in the Imperial Capital Finance Hall every day for a week, so she simply came over to take a look.
"Look, it's a great honor for you to be here at the Ministry of Finance, and we've prepared a little ...... for you."
As soon as Tenya heard what was going on, she smiled and asked, "Your Excellency Frank?" I heard that the cash flow of the Ministry of Finance is very stable, and Queen Helicolo knows that you have enough funds this year, why do you still want to ask for money from me?
Rand built 100 new magic furnaces, bringing a stable source of cash to the various components of the empire, although the big nobles still have a pile of bad debts on their heads, they are all trying to find a way to slowly resolve them, and even the Treasury itself has been reducing debts on a large scale in pursuit of healthy statements.
Of course, it is not so much that this is a voluntary act of the Ministry of Finance, but rather that it is feared that the newly established Magic Furnace Fund and the Energy Agency of the Imperial Family will take the place of the Ministry of Finance.
Tania traveled throughout the empire, and naturally knew the current state of the Finance Department, so she said: "Besides, you can just discuss these things directly with Rant, hasn't he been here recently?" ”
As soon as Rand was mentioned, Frank's face was a little ugly, and he complained to Tanya: "Your Majesty, speaking of which, I also want to report to you about His Majesty Rand's situation, although he said that recently in the Ministry of Finance, we have also prepared a special office for him, and asked him to preside over our appraisal meeting, scheduling meeting, year-end summary meeting, and year-end review meeting......"
"He's gone?" Tenya was a little surprised, she didn't have to think about it to know how boring it would be, Rand really liked to have meetings, and it was enough to participate in the territorial joint meeting directly.
"Well, in fact, except for the fact that he attended less than 15 meetings on the first day he came, from the second day, we couldn't find him." Frank said with a bitter face, "I can see him in the office every day, but I can't see him when the assistant goes to deliver reports and meeting agendas." ”
"His Majesty Rand seems to have hidden himself in some unknown way, and we tried to find it with magic, but to no avail." Gordon Campbell on the side also said.
"It's so fresh." Tania smiled and shook her head, and under the guidance of a group of legendary high-ranking people, she arrived at Rand's office.
The offices prepared by the Department of Finance for Rand are extremely large, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a large hall.
As soon as you enter the door, everyone can see a black tiger-striped wall, and the room is equipped with desks, bookcases, magic mirrors, and various magic circles.
"That ......," Tenya pointed to an entire wall of tiger-striped fur.
"It seems to be the curtain of His Majesty Rand, and the window is on the other side of the curtain." "He didn't do anything else when he came, he just installed a curtain, which I tried to lift, but it didn't work." ”
“…… Isn't that the back of a demonic tiger? Tenya muttered, "Tiger? Why are you here? ”
"Huh?" Suddenly, the "wall" that everyone thought was moving, the "wall" kept shrinking, and a tiger's head turned around.
"Tenya, why are you here?" The Demon Tiger made a sound.
"What about Rand? I came to him. ”
"He's watching the game here!" After that, the Demon Tiger twisted his body and adjusted the magic patterns on his body so that he was no longer stuck in the whole wall.
Only then did everyone discover that the so-called curtains and wallpaper were the back of a tiger, and Rand, who they had been looking for for a week, was leaning on its arms.
"Tenya! Why are you here, do you miss me, and come here to see me! As soon as the Demon Tiger got out of the way, Tapara shook his head and ran over and complained to Tenya, "Let me tell you, the food here is not good, and the meat is not good, and if it weren't for Rand to let me come, I wouldn't have come!" ”
The area blocked by the Demon Tiger is very different, Rand, the demon wolf Tarpala, the fox girl Fanil, and the big cat Catalina and her son are all here, and it is almost as good as the cat and dog café.
"Your Majesty Rand...... You actually keep Warcraft in your office? Frank immediately understood that this was the reason why Rand had used a physical means to hide himself and fish in the Treasury Hall for a week.
"No, they are all my assistants, the Frostwolf Forest, the Hinduker Magic Furnace, and the Department of Finance also have investments, so I naturally want to let His Majesty involved know the relevant accounts!" Rand said unashamedly, and in the magic mirror at his feet there was a live broadcast of the Night Qi Reward Race.
"Then why didn't you attend these meetings, you missed at least 84 important meetings." Gordon hurriedly asked.
"I didn't get any notice of the meeting!" Rand said innocently, "And your meeting lasts for an hour, and you don't need my participation at all, it doesn't matter if you have me or not, or even if you have a living person, you just need to find a circle and play all the speeches......"
"It's unbelievable that an assistant treasurer would say something like this......" Frank's nose crooked.
……
March once again fell over Padmila, and Rand led the people to the altar at the top of the palace to worship, and in the snowflakes, a ray of moonlight fell through the clouds and onto the altar.
"There's something I want to tell you, Rand, you might have to be prepared," Willy sent him a separate message in the moonlight, "It seems that your family still wants you to go back, saying that there are still a number of things to finish up on Hellyd, and that they are short on manpower." ”
"Huh?" Rand was a little incredible.
"When you first came over, they helped you pay the fee in advance and ensure your survival, I'm afraid that there will be such a day." Willy's voice was full of joy.
Rand himself came back to know that the time to get a large amount of compensation in his hometown was after he became Willy's dependant here, and the means of compensation were also very ingenious, obviously none of this is a coincidence.
"Then I'll wake up over there and faint for a while, right?"
"They'll find it, you just have to pack up the main believers in Hellid over there, and they don't say they'll let you take them with you and take them to your kingdom of God to be His company."
"I don't think they're going to slip out of the station and become the new hazard......" Rant muttered.
"When it comes to the disposal of a main god, there is no perfect way, no matter how we make up for it for tens of thousands of years, how He struggles, he is always in a state of seesaw, you can give him a new space to 'turn over' casually is the biggest improvement in thousands of years."
"Yes, he has wiped out a goblin empire, and his priests don't know how many demigods they have usurped, how many high-ranking people they have usurped, and in the end they will only spend their time in a new kingdom of gods." Rand sighed.
"The real demise of the Goblin Empire is due to their own greed, and although they have created a great civilization, they have lost their way in their glory, and even without Hellid's, they will never recover."
Speaking of this, Willie also sighed unconsciously.
"Rand, whether it is the god race, the goblins, the dragon race, the human race, the orcs, the elves, the merfolk, and the sea beast race, although these races have different lifespans, they cannot avoid declining after glory, even if the whole race is a god, there is no exception.
You have infinite expectations for your race and territory, but you should also know that perhaps in just a few hundred years, the rise and fall of the Galloping Horse Kingdom will no longer be relevant to you. ”
"Of course, what I can do for the lord is actually almost done, maybe the only thing to do after that is to ascend to the gods......" Rand knew that he was not capable of handling all government affairs in detail, compared to the Demon Forge, he was already his best future.
In the midst of the heavy snow, Night Qicheng ushered in a new god emperor in 999.
