Chapter 114 Moving Mountains and Reclamation
The next morning, 8:05 a.m.
An uninvited guest came to the manor.
The Grand Duchy of Scarlett is already on the right track, and now only the palace of the Grand Duke of Scarlett is missing, which has not yet been built, because Wallace has been in retreat for alchemy during this time.
The person in charge of building the palace has never seen Wallace, and this person in charge has not dared to make decisions on his own, which has dragged on until now.
No, the person in charge hurried to the manor early in the morning, and came to see the Grand Duke of Scarlett, Wallace.
Fortunately, the alchemy has ended, otherwise Wallace would have gone to practice and alchemy at half past five, and he would not come out of the basement until eleven o'clock in the evening, when he went to bed.
Wallace had just finished his cultivation and had just walked out of the basement when he saw the butler standing at the basement door.
"Your Excellency, the person in charge of the palace for you is here, and he will be waiting for you at six o'clock, and will you be waiting in the drawing-room, and if not, I will go and inform him to leave. ”
The butler asked softly and respectfully after saluting Wallace.
"No, since I'm here, I'll go and see you. ”
After Wallace finished speaking, he walked quickly to the living room.
A middle-aged man in government official clothes was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and when the middle-aged man saw Wallace come in, he stood up from the sofa and immediately saluted Wallace, and said hello loudly with a nervous face:
"Your Excellency, Good morning!"
"Are you the one in charge of building my palace?"
Wallace asked in a loud voice with an expressionless face.
"Yes, Your Excellency, my name is Marcus Logan, I am the person in charge appointed by the Prime Minister himself, we have designed three styles of palaces, this time I have brought the rough design drawings, all of them, please take a look!"
Marcus Logan said as he pulled three folders out of his folder, which he handed to the coffee table in front of Wallace.
Wallace picked up the first folder, and when he opened it, there was a three-view of the palace and a dozen drawings of the room.
After reading the drawings of the first palace, he saw that Marcus Logan was still standing in front of him, so he waved his hand at him, and then said, "Okay, then you can sit down for a while, and I will take a closer look." ”
"Yes!"
Marcus Logan answered, and went straight back to where he had been sitting, waiting for Wallace to finish reading the drawings.
After about twenty minutes, Wallace finally read the three drawings carefully, and after stacking them together, he looked up at Marcus Rogan, and asked with a frown:
"Marcus Rogan, how much do these three palaces cost?"
"Your Excellency, the cost of the first type of palace is about 1,300,000 gold coins, which is the most luxurious and expensive of the three palaces.
The cost of the second type of palace is about 1,080,000 gold coins, and this kind of palace can be described as simple and luxurious.
The third type of palace is the cheapest, costing about 870,000 gold coins, which is similar to the palace of the Grand Duke of Edinburgh. ”
Marcus Logan thought about it for a while, and then carefully introduced Wallace to the cost of these three palaces.
After Wallace heard this, he knew that building a palace must not be so simple, and there would definitely be financial problems.
He frowned again, looked at Marcus Rogan, and asked loudly, "Marcus Rogan, the treasury is not enough, in the third case, how many gold coins will I probably give?"
"Your Excellency, the treasury now has only 310,000 gold coins, and the prime minister said that you can spend up to 150,000 gold coins from the treasury, that is, you will have to contribute at least 720,000 gold coins. ”
Marcus Rogan didn't hesitate at all, answering Wallace's question bluntly.
"Marcus Rogan, is there no other way?"
Wallace asked helplessly when he thought of his savings of only tens of thousands of gold coins.
Marcus Logan pondered for a moment before hesitantly speaking his mind.
"This, Your Excellency, if you raise taxes, it may be too late, you can issue treasury bonds, or borrow from the Chamber of Commerce, these two methods should be able to make up the cost of the construction of the palace this time. ”
"Forget it, the Grand Duchy of Scarlett has just stepped on the right track, and it is not suitable to issue treasury bonds now.
As for borrowing from the Chamber of Commerce, it is even more undesirable, these businessmen cannot afford to make a profit, the interest will certainly not be less, and this method is not advisable. ”
Wallace thought about it and rejected these methods of raising money.
Suddenly, he thought of a place, and this place had a ready-made palace.
It turns out that Thor's palace is not on that small island, this is just the right time to move, and that palace is estimated to only need a little decoration, and it should be put into use.
"Marcus Logan, you go back first, before the afternoon, I will show you a palace, by the way, you can help me decorate it when the time comes, it is suitable for living. ”
After Wallace finished speaking, he stood up and left the conference hall.
Marcus Logan immediately stood up from the couch, stood up and saluted, and watched Wallace leave, then he put away the three folders on the coffee table, and left the manor directly under the guidance of the servant.
After Wallace and Alyssa greeted each other, they went directly to the balcony, and as soon as his mind moved, the Thunder Dragon Sword instantly appeared in front of Wallace.
"Buzz!"
With a crisp sword roar, the Thunder Dragon Sword grew larger until Wallace could sit on it as a whole person.
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Wallace's mouth, and while no one saw it, he jumped directly with his hands behind his back, and the whole person stood in the middle of the Thunder Dragon Sword.
As Wallace's divine sense in the attached sword moved, the purple Thunder Dragon Sword instantly tore through the air, turning into a purple-gold light in the air, and flew towards the island of the Thunder God's Palace.
About nine minutes later, he flew to the sky above the island, and with a whoosh, the whole person flew like a meteor from the air to the Thor's palace in the middle of the mountain peak.
Wallace looked at the Thor's palace in front of him, and suddenly couldn't make up his mind, whether to move the entire palace alone, or move the entire mountain peak, or move the entire island.
In fact, with the mana of his Jindan Realm alone, it can be said that it is easy to move the entire palace, but it is a bit difficult to move the entire mountain, but it is not impossible.
Wallace thought about it carefully, and then asked about the No. 1 Brain.
"One, if I use a drop of divine power, can I move the entire island away?"
One Brain: "This can be had, but it takes two drops of divine power to move the island." ”
