Chapter 261 Leon understands win-win!
Philip is gone.
Inspired by Leon, Philippe Jimena, Viscount of Shuanghu Town, went to Shuanghu Town to take up his post with his full enthusiasm.
I only hope that I can create some earth-shattering achievements on that piece of land, in that piece of aristocratic territory that belongs to him, so that the name of Viscount of Shuanghu Town can be heard throughout the west.
Although it is somewhat unrealistic, Philip has secretly made up his mind - he will target his cousin, Leon Jimena, the patriarch of the Jimena family, and become one of the most influential nobles on the north bank of the Meyerson River. one!
Of course, if he knew that Leon was actually a loser, Philip's enthusiasm for entrepreneurship would be reduced a lot.
But how could Leon let him know?
It is precisely because of young people like Philip who carry the burden for him that Leon can have leisure time to fish and enjoy his relaxed and aristocratic life.
So when Philip turned around to leave, Leon just raised the corners of his mouth, gave him an encouraging smile at a 45° angle, and promised that if he encountered any difficulties that could not be solved, he could seek help in time.
Today's dinner was quite sumptuous.
Mainly include braised dogfish, braised pork knuckle, bone-in chicken, mellow cheese vegetables, fish and chips, assorted salads, chicken wings with eggs, grilled lamb chops, mushroom bacon, secret berries, mature ham, soft fragrant bread, vegetables Rich soup, fried eggs...
and Leon's favorite salty and spicy Antolian version of tofu.
All in all, the ingredients are quite abundant.
And the reason why it is so rich is naturally to entertain the mages of Antolia.
Except for the Archmage Albert, who was deceived by Leon to go out to attract investment and arrest apprentices, all the mages in Antolia received Leon's invitation.
If it were the nobles nearby, the arrogant mages might not all be present.
But Leon is obviously not an ordinary noble.
Putting aside the noble status of the only Marquis of the Kingdom of Andal, the title of advocate of ancient magic alone is enough to make all the magicians who defect to Antolia come and go as soon as they are called.
There is no way, compared to other noble families, the Jimena family has advantages that others do not have.
That is Leon Jimena, a lord, a mage himself, and a mage who has unique insights into the field of ancient magic!
In addition, with the help of the Ancient Archives, no one can easily guess how many ancient magic books the Jimena family possesses!
"Ahem..."
Leon coughed twice and raised the wine glass in his hand: "For the Jimena family, to make ancient magic great again!" "
For the Jimena family!"
The mages attending the dinner said in unison said.
You know, today's Antoria is no longer the border noble leader with only two or three mages.
Although the status of the border nobles has not changed, in addition to Leon's confidants-Kerman, Fast and other priests from the ancestor tribes, there are also a group of people who follow the Archmage Albert and join the Jimena family. The mage in arms.
For these people, the chief steward of the Jimena family personally presided over the back-up.
Basically everything can be trusted.
What's more...
how can a mage be used as a spy?
Let alone the Kingdom of Andal, there is no such example in the entire Northern Continent. Mages are the ones who cherish their reputation and feathers the most!
"Kerman did a good job!"
After a simple drink, Leon praised him.
If we say that the Antolian army led by Leon reversed the situation in the Principality of Norton.
Then the contribution made by the potion production workshop led by Kerman in the rear cannot be underestimated.
After all...
those seemingly insignificant little red bottles not only ensured the combat effectiveness of Andal's army, but also brought great benefits to the Jimena family.
If it weren't for the mage apprentices and Antolian workers working day and night in the potion production workshop, this war would not have gone so smoothly.
"The next step is to expand the Antolia potion production workshop and establish the Antolia potion production factory!" "
You must have heard about the preparations for the establishment of the Antolia High School of Magic. That was what I proposed to me. The promise made by the teacher, Archmage Albert." "
And since it is a promise, the Jimena family will definitely honor it!"
This is the first time Leon has mentioned Antoria High School in public. Preparations for the establishment of the Magic Academy. And this undoubtedly caused a wave of softness in the hearts of the mages present.
Most of the mages who can give up the stable life in the interior of the kingdom and come to Antolia are those who have their own pursuit of the path of magic.
They hope to use ancient magic to further explore their own magical path.
On a certain level, this choice is undoubtedly lonely and boring.
But the promise of building the Antoria High School of Magic made them feel a little moved.
Indeed, not everyone will be as attracted to this promise as Albert.
But...
merging the isolated mage towers into a magic academy that brings together many mages is undoubtedly a pioneering decision, and it also symbolizes the importance Leon attaches to the mages.
This is enough to build a wonderful connection in their hearts.
It was like they became a group from then on!
"I hope that every mage present can become a member of the Antolia High School of Magic. At that time, the Jimena family will also take out the ancient magic books collected by the family and store them in the big book of the magic school. In the museum."
"Anyone who has contributed to Antolia's magic career can read those precious magic books!" "
I hope that one day in the future, Antolia's name will be the same as Fran's. Generally, it becomes the holy place in the hearts of all mages!"
Mages:! ! !
Why did they come to Antolia? Isn't that the reason?
Leon's eyes swept across the people present, and he was very satisfied with the expressions of the mages.
Prior to this, the main reason why the establishment of the Antolia High School of Magic was delayed was due to lack of money.
But now...
the issuance of special development bonds for the Abandoned Land has brought a lot of wealth to Antolia.
yes.
In theory, this money should indeed be used for the development of abandoned lands.
But Leon was over-issued at the time!
There is no such thing as financial regulation in this era.
As long as the nobles can see the interest, who cares where you spend the money?
What's more...
the development of the abandoned land is a long-term systematic project.
It is impossible to spend all the large amounts of funds raised at once.
Therefore, it is quite reasonable to store money that will not be used temporarily in Antolia Bank.
And since it is a bank...
then it is naturally very reasonable for the Jimena family to borrow money from Antolia.
The left hand is the right hand!
What happens when all the borrowed money is spent?
You know, currently only the southern nobles are investing in bonds. Leon must give the nobles in the west and east of the kingdom some opportunities to buy bonds, right?
Furthermore...
after Leon's careful calculations, if Antolia's potion production factory is incorporated into the Antolia High School of Magic in the name of integrating industry and academia, then this will Doesn’t the financial report of an investment look much better instantly?
After all...
the profitability of the little red bottle has been recognized by many nobles in the kingdom.
In this way, Leon has the Antolia High School of Magic, and creditors see the hope of profit.
It can be said that everyone is happy.
Definitely a win-win!
The bonds are not perfect yet. Mr. Lai will conduct a series of follow-up investigations and surveys and issue corresponding policies based on the actual situation. Anyway, Mr. Lai will not lose money.
