Chapter 220: The Haggard Baird
In three days, Kyle completed the acquisition of a manor outside the Cardero Province.
A manor covering an area of 600 acres, originally owned by a chamber of commerce, is now officially renamed Qixing Manor, as the residence of Qixing Territory in the provincial capital of Cardero Province.
He spent 15,000 gold coins to take over the manor.
Looking at Kyle with a calm face, Weilin didn't know what to say, and he didn't even want the opportunity to make money.
As for the redecoration and layout of Qixing Manor, Weilin planned to send Eunice to be responsible for the reconstruction.
A leisure manor must have more than these buildings on the ground, so it cannot be done by others.
After completing the preliminary layout of Cardero Province, Weilin set off to return to Qixing Territory.
In six days, the group arrived at Qixing Territory.
Every time they left and returned, they could see different changes.
Compared with half a year ago, Qixing City is becoming more and more prosperous, the urban planning is becoming more and more obvious, and the population is gradually increasing, although most of them are foreign populations.
As soon as he returned to the castle, Baird followed him and rushed to the castle.
"My chief steward, long time no see." Weilin looked at Baird's haggard face and had a bad feeling.
Baird looked stern, bowed and saluted, and greeted Weilin: "My lord, I wonder if you have been happy in the past six months."
"Not bad, not bad." Weilin replied with a guilty conscience.
It seems that the burden reduction six months ago did not succeed, and Baird came to the door again.
"It's good to be happy. I am now holding several positions and I am too busy to handle many affairs. I am afraid that some affairs need to be handled by the lord himself." Baird looked at Weilin and said to himself.
"You want those people." Weilin spread his hands and asked directly. The meaning was obvious. He didn't want to waste time on such affairs.
"I have already found several capable consuls, but they are not in Qixing City." Baird's mouth curled up slightly and said calmly.
Weilin hesitated for a while, looked at Baird's face, and could only say sorry to others: "Leave some people for Orlando and Andrew, don't poach them all."
"Don't worry, my subordinates know their limits." Baird smiled.
Seeing Weilin ready to run away, Baird blocked the door and continued: "My lord, the construction of Qixing City requires a lot of funds."
"Is there not enough money in the territory's warehouse?" Weilin asked curiously.
Baird said apologetically: "That's the money of the entire territory. If I use this money, Orlando Town and Lansha Town will have opinions, so the lord needs to allocate a special fund to me to build Qixing City."
"Is that so!" Weilin thought about it for a moment, and it was indeed the case. He took out two million gold notes from the space ring and handed them to Baird, "One million goes to Qixing City, and Orlando Town and Lansha Town each get 500,000."
Bailder stared at the thick stack of gold notes in Weilin's hand, his eyes almost popped out.
There was not so much cash in the territory's treasury, where did the master get it from?
Baird said that this was the first time he had met such a large amount of money in his life, and he quickly put it into his arms.
"Master, I am busy with official business, so I will go back first."
In the blink of an eye, Baird disappeared, fearing that he would ask for the money back.
Looking at the back of his chief steward leaving, Weilin turned to Kyle and asked: "If Baird knew that I still had more than 7 million in cash, I wonder what his expression would be."
Kyle thought for a while and answered: "I think Lord Baird must come to my house every day to cry poor."
Hearing Kyle's answer, Weilin's smile froze instantly.
"You are right, you must not let him know."
"I promise to keep this secret." Kyle patted his chest and promised.
"Awooo"
The two wind wolf cubs echoed and cried, making Weilin look a little weird.
"Give these two little things to Eunice later and let her train them well."
"I understand."
Then, Kyle took Hilda and Sisna out of Weilin's study to arrange accommodation for them.
After everyone else left, Weilin locked the door and opened the secret room in the room. Inside was his own small vault, which stored most of his assets.
Looking at the more than ten treasure chests in the secret room, each of them contained valuable treasures.
As for the glittering gold coins, they were thrown everywhere in the corner.
"Find a time to ask the arcanist if he can deploy a barrier." Weilin touched his chin and muttered to himself.
With more and more property, he needed to build a special underground secret room to store his treasures.
As for the guards, it was easy to solve. After a while, he would go to his grandfather to see if the four elemental cores could be built into elemental knights, specifically as guards for the private treasury.
"Or, find another place to build a castle. The current one is too small and doesn't match my status."
When he thought about how much money he had, what's wrong with spending some on himself?
After convincing himself in his heart, Weilin prepared to spend one million gold coins to build a new castle.
Manpower, materials and architectural design are all ready. The only thing that needs to spend a lot of money is the magic tower.
In addition to physical defense, the new castle must also have magic defense.
While thinking about his future new home, Weilin opened a wooden box, poured the gold coins inside onto the ground, and put all the magic crystals stored in the space ring into it.
After finishing all this, he closed the door of the secret room and sat on the chair, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
"Put this matter aside for now. During this period, I will focus on cultivation and not let my father down."
Thinking of his father's instructions, Weilin suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
Within half a year, he was sure that he would be able to break through and become a golden knight.
The next morning, Weilin went to the stable, interacted with the three mutant griffins, and took out another intermediate magic crystal and threw it to Eunice.
"My lord, this is..." Looking at the magic crystal in her hand, Eunice asked in a daze.
"Five years of bonuses. After a while, I need you to go to Cardero Province to do something." Weilin did not keep the secret and directly stated the purpose.
"Please give your orders." Eunice accepted the intermediate magic crystal and asked respectfully.
"In a month, I will ask Cassius to send a team of people to follow you to the capital of Kadero Province. Your task is to rebuild Qixing Manor within three months."
"I have only two requirements, the above-ground part is enough for leisure, and the underground part is strong enough."
"I understand, Lord." Eunice bowed and saluted.
"Work hard, I will not treat you unfairly, and I will also fulfill my promise." Weilin encouraged the other party and turned to leave.
Looking at Weilin's back, Eunice had different ideas, and the idea of leaving here became less and less.
