Chapter 188 Angus's reaction, the idea of being a middleman
He received a monthly military salary of twenty gold coins, plus occasional rewards from his master, so his personal belongings were worth more than thirty thousand gold coins, with more than two thousand gold coins alone.
All his food, clothing and daily expenses were in the castle, and he had no place to spend money.
Even for the cultivation materials, he could not use up the monthly quota.
In other words, money was dispensable to him. If Weilin had not strictly prohibited him from putting his property in the warehouse, he would not want these things to occupy the space in his bedroom.
When he was a serf before, he hoped to have his own property. When he had power and obligations in his hands, he did not have the desire for money.
"It's three o'clock."
Coming out of the warehouse, he looked at the sky, roughly estimated the time, and got up to go to the kitchen.
...
At Windsor Castle, Angus opened the letter from afar and read it carefully.
The explosive news disturbed his mind, and even the joy of the breakthrough was much less.
With the lessons learned five years ago and the incident of the gift of moonlight flowers last year, Angus believed most of the news in the letter.
However, he still needs to send someone to the Principality of Bogonghan to verify and collect information before making a decision.
Angus put down the letter in his hand, took a family tree from the bookshelf, and began to read it. He vaguely remembered that there was a branch of the family in the Principality of Bogonghan.
After half an hour of searching, he finally found the news of that branch.
"Simon Akers, inherited from the third son of the ancestor, is the fourth generation. He is now the deputy commander of the Winter Green Corps of the Sixth Corps of the Principality of Bogonghan. The eldest son and the second son serve in the Third Knights of the Grand Duke of Bogonghan. The eldest daughter married the eldest son of a viscount..."
Three full pages of paper recorded the basic information of the twenty-three people in Simon Akers' branch.
Angus picked up a pen and wrote a letter, and stamped the family seal at the end.
"Melony."
A shadow stalker came out of the shadows, knelt on one knee, and saluted Angus, saying, "Master."
"Give this letter to Simon Axe, he will know what to do."
"After delivering the letter, you go directly to the capital of Duke Bogonghan and inquire about the news of Grand Duke Bogonghan."
"Yes."
The shadow stalker took the letter from Angus with both hands and disappeared in front of him.
After Melony left, Angus picked up the pen, thought for a long time and put it down again.
"It's too early to notify the allied families now. Let's see the situation first."
Then, Angus started to deal with another matter.
Two months ago, the entire Hax family was taken to the capital for detention, and the territory was managed by the surrounding nobles until the kingdom gave a specific solution.
As one of the five giants in Xihe Province, it may be more appropriate to call it the four giants now.
In short, the Eagle Territory has obtained the trusteeship of the three counties of the Iron Hero Territory of the Hax family, nearly 80,000 square kilometers.
He wanted to annex all the valuable industries in these three counties in the shortest possible time, and transfer the important resource production sites to Xiongying Territory.
"The two important plantations must be moved to Xingyue County as a whole, 20 kilometers south of Baiyan Plantation."
For this plan, he even borrowed six soul-level arcane masters who were proficient in space teleportation from his father-in-law, and used large-scale transfer spells to move the mountains where the two manors were located to his territory as a whole.
Of course, the cost was not small, but with these two plantations, it would take less than ten years to get back the investment.
Their family had fought with the Hax family for nearly six hundred years, and now was the time to reap the rewards.
…
In July of the 9724th year of the Glorious Calendar, Qixing Town was officially upgraded to Qixing City, with a direct jurisdiction of 400 square kilometers, nine villages under its jurisdiction, and a population of about 30,000.
Beixing Town was established in the north, governing 500 square kilometers in the north, 18 villages under its jurisdiction, and a population of about 13,000 people.
Nanxing Town was established in the south, governing 400 square kilometers in the south, 20 villages under its jurisdiction, and more than 17,000 people.
After Qixing City replanned its administrative area, Baird only needed to handle one-fifth of the official duties it had before.
After a day of experimentation, he only needed three hours a day to handle the current official duties, and the rest of the time could be used for cultivation, without worrying about being too busy.
Even after Cyril grew up, the time he spent on handling official duties could be reduced by half, and his mood instantly became much happier.
Coming to his small warehouse, it was full of cultivation materials, which he had accumulated over the past three years.
"Among the twelve people, I, the captain, have become the last one."
Recalling the strength of the others, Baird couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, but this situation would never happen again.
Take out a bottle of wine from the small warehouse, lock the door, and go to the bedroom. I'm in a good mood tonight, so I'll have a drink.
At this moment, in the master bedroom on the second floor of the castle, Weilin poured a glass of wine, sat by the bed, admired the moon view, and waited for the arrival of fate.
"It's another beautiful day."
The territory is thriving. Qixing Territory has a population of 130,000. Under the auspices of Devonshire, the first batch of students has been selected and will be able to enroll once the Knight Academy is completed in September.
In addition, lower-level nobles from all over the country are rushing to Qixing Town, which will also bring him a lot of civilian talents.
As for the Mage Academy, there are fewer qualified people, only 55 at most.
According to the arcanist Deren, if a mage's talent is not at the middle level, he will never be able to break through the silver level in his lifetime, and the highest achievement is only the high bronze level.
He would rather have nothing than have something bad, so he asked to recruit only teenagers with middle or higher mage talent, and concentrate resources to cultivate useful talents.
For this suggestion, Weilin quickly agreed.
As for the priest academy led by Reverend Lavia, it is not so demanding in terms of talent, but it is strictly controlled in terms of faith.
The previous promise to hand over the priest academy to Reverend Lavia means that he will not interfere in any way.
The resources are in place, and the rest will be handed over to the bald priest.
As for whether he teaches a group of muscular priests or normal priests, it doesn't matter. As long as they are priests, he is not picky at all.
[Six months later, the Kube Kingdom lost on the front line, lost a large number of troops, lost a large area of occupied areas, and was counterattacked by the Is Half-Elf Kingdom. In order to save face, money, magic crystals and elemental crystals flowed to the Ilia Kingdom, and materials were purchased on a large scale. 】
"As the superior party, they still failed."
Hearing this news, Weilin felt ashamed of the battle of the Kube Kingdom army.
But for the Ilia Kingdom, this is completely good news, and they can make a lot of money.
As for how to profit from it, Weilin thought of middlemen and information dealers.
