Chapter 916 Family Financial Sources

After the vote was read out, Angus sat down again steadily and continued to preside over the family meeting.

"The second topic is about the affairs that Earl Qixing is in charge of."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Weilin, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

Under the gaze of everyone, Weilin was a little dazed. He scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Why are you all looking at me?"

At this time, Blood Moon Earl Mia Li's mouth corners slightly raised, and with a doting smile, she explained: "For the new earl of the family, you can take the initiative to propose the affairs you want to be responsible for, and then we will vote on whether to approve it."

"That's it!"

When Weilin heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said impatiently, "Father, Aunt Mialy, Uncle Iorisis, Uncle Oster, and Uncle Ipgil, I want to be responsible for guarding the family secret vault."

Angus glanced at Weilin, shook his head without hesitation, and said, "Objection."

"be opposed to."

Miali knew Weilin's character very well, so her attitude was basically the same as Angus'.

Hurricane Earl Iorisis said in a gentle tone: "Velin, although I personally think you are capable, from the perspective of the family, I am opposed to it."

Count Andusi and Count Mithis looked at each other, and there seemed to be some tacit understanding in their eye contact. Then they gave up, saving some face for Weilin.

They had all heard of the name of the Big Rat to some extent.

If Weilin were really asked to guard the family secret vault, it would probably take more than a few years, as the most valuable thing in the vault would have to be the door.

Seeing that everyone's attitude was surprisingly consistent, Weilin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Then, he slowly leaned over the table and gently waved his hand, signaling the meeting to continue. His movements seemed a little lazy, as if he didn't care about everyone's decision at all.

He knew that the family would not entrust him with the task of guarding the family secret vault, so he said this only to liven up the atmosphere and ease the relationship between his father and the other four elders. It seemed that the result was very good.

Although it was embarrassing, he didn't care. What happened in this conference room would not be spread anyway.

"Ilysis, please tell me about the source of the family's finances first."

Seeing this, Ilysis, who was recording, put down the pen in his hand, closed the document, put it behind him, and slowly said: "After eight hundred years, the income of the Aix family has gradually changed from single to complex, and can be roughly divided into five parts."

"The first part is the territory taxes and business income. Except for the 50% tax and all business income of the Eagle Territory which goes into the family finances, the rest of the territory taxes and business income are controlled by the leaders of each branch."

"The second part is the income from extraordinary resources, which is divided into two parts. One part is placed in the Eagle Territory, with the White Rock Plantation as the core, as the most important symbol of the Axe family's magic potion resources. Together with other renewable extraordinary resource plantations and breeding grounds, the total annual output is between 250 million and 300 million gold coins. The profit from selling them is about 30 million gold coins. Most of the remaining extraordinary resources are digested by the family internally to enhance the foundation and hide the strength."

"The other part is placed in the Earldom of Misis and the dark world rich in magic crystal veins as the family's foundation. The annual output is between 500 million and 600 million gold coins. Uncle Ipgil is in charge of it."

"There is a clear division of usage for this portion of potion resources."

"One third of the extraordinary resources are sealed and secretly transferred to the secret vault guarded by Grandpa Ostertang."

"Half of the extraordinary resources are used to support the Eagle Knights, the Andusi Knights, the Hurricane Knights, the Blood Moon Magic Knights, the Hurricane Legion, and the magic forces controlled by Uncle Ipgil."

"The last one-sixth of the extraordinary resources are used as reserve cultivation materials, mainly to supply the family's forces and organizations in other countries."

"The third part is the contribution from the vassal nobles, which is about 10 million gold coins per year, which can be ignored."

"The fourth source of income can be classified as others, including foreign commercial trade, plantations, pastures, and orchards outside the Kingdom of Ilia, roughly between 50 million and 70 million gold coins."

"The last part is the revenue from the teleportation array, which is about 80 million gold coins to 120 million gold coins per year."

After hearing his elder brother's story, Weilin was shocked. His understanding of the family was indeed very one-sided.

However, when you think about it carefully, it is very normal.

Qi Xing led 36,000 standing troops, and the annual military expenditure exceeded more than 4 million gold coins, not to mention the extraordinary resources invested.

But only with a strong army can the territory be firmly in hand and extraordinary resources can be produced stably.

"Verin."

After hearing Angus' words, Weilin came back to his senses, looked up, and asked, "Father, please speak."

"The Knights, the Magical Forces, or the Warrior Corps, what is your choice?"

Facing this question, Weilin did not hesitate at all and answered: "Father, I want to use my own strength to build a warrior corps that will be famous among the nations."

"Then we will call it the Praying Stars Corps. Within two years, the family will provide you with 9,200 bronze warriors, 500 low-level silver warriors, 200 mid-level silver warriors, 100 high-level silver warriors, and 10 low-level gold warriors."

"These 10,000 people are enough for you to build two battalions of troops."

"Use war to test the combat effectiveness of the legion. Once it is recognized by others, the family will expand the Prayer Star Legion for you."

"Every March, the family will deliver the training materials and military pay needed by the Qixing Corps to you, but they must be used for the Corps and are not allowed to be used for other purposes."

"Father, don't worry. I still have some family wealth and I won't covet the training materials of the Qixing Legion." Upon hearing this, Weilin replied with a serious face.

In response to this, everyone nodded in unison, expressing their belief.

With the support of the teleportation array, this kid is indeed not short of money. He can even support the Qixing Legion by his own strength.

But even if Weilin thought so, they would not agree.

The family’s military strength cannot be trained at the cost of passing it on to its members. This is the bottom line.

Correspondingly, the family also has the power to call upon the Qixing Legion.

"Okay, the next thing is Weilin's business. I propose that the lineage of Earl Qixing be in charge..."

Seeing this, Weilin said, "Father, wait a moment."

Seeing this, Angus stopped and looked at Weilin. Could it be that this kid had picked up some half-plane while walking?

Seeing this, everyone also looked at Weilin, waiting for his statement.
