Chapter 336: Financial Issues
After the unmarried couple finished their dance, the banquet also came to an end. Originally, Imrik planned to take Adira to see the sea and talk about what he had experienced during this period, but he did not expect that he would be taken by Adira. Zhuo stopped.
He was told to go back to Caledo as soon as possible, and he and Trevicorn would be responsible for the wedding. He should not meet with Adira during this period, and they would have plenty of time to get along with each other after they got married.
Afterwards, the Dragon Prince, who felt helpless about this, could only smile awkwardly, and his eyes indicated that if his fiancée had any ideas, then a message would come to Tal Anlock.
After all, there are indeed a lot of things waiting to be dealt with. The refugees and mercenaries are still placed on the island near the Dragon's Ridge Mountains in Chulong Bay. The reason for setting the wedding date as soon as possible is because they don't want to delay the time longer and longer.
After all, that place is not suitable for settlement. My plan is to place it in Lustria instead of dumping it in Caledor. Over time, the refugees will be resistant to the transfer.
The training of the mercenaries has basically been completed, and all the equipment has been distributed according to the expected plan. Every day, gold coins are flowing out in vain at Chulong Bay, so it cannot be delayed for too long.
So I could only say hello to my uncle, saying that I would notify him immediately if there was any news, and I would go back to the palace first.
At the intersection of night and dawn, the dragon palace once again welcomed its master. In the open space in front of the palace, there was already a large group of dragon princes sitting cross-legged, with their eyes closed, feeling the way of the ancient dragon under the guidance of Lao Mi.
However, looking at Lao Mi's feeble voice, it was obvious that he was very perfunctory about this matter. He even closed his eyes and let out a slight growl in his throat to explain.
"Feel that vitality, believe in its existence, and then you can get the power of the Dragon Father..."
Imrik, who entered the palace gate, ignored Lao Mi's resentful eyes and walked directly to the steps. There was a person leaning against him. He is a good partner. When he returns home, he can secure his position. He can be the first to charge in a fight. In his spare time, he can also lead his subordinates to practice. Where can I find such a tool dragon?
After entering the main hall, he told Elvis, "Let Alagir come to see me."
Soon after, Alagir, who was in charge of the Whelpling Bay and refugee affairs, had arrived in front of the Dragon Claw Throne, and then the two of them went to the conference room, planning to Finish some things.
Sitting on the familiar and comfortable leather armchair, Imric also felt a little more relaxed. During this period, he probably just dealt with some government affairs, and then waited for the wedding. In a few days, he would visit Avalon for state reasons and communicate with the queen. It's simply not too comfortable to have feelings.
Alagir, who took over most of the general affairs, also sat next to him. Compared with the previous restraint, he seemed to be more relaxed now. On the one hand, it was the rise in status, and on the other hand, it was Imrik's trust.
"Tell me about the situation in Chulong Bay."
"Our policies have achieved great results. After the Bianchi family's Chamber of Commerce settled in, many businessmen from Tyrone Rock also came here, and the participation of the Cabernet Sauvignon Chamber of Commerce , and also allowed some chambers of commerce in Lothern to open branches in Chulong Bay. Although large-scale trade circulation has not yet occurred due to the short time, it has undoubtedly achieved some results." "The Queen also asked people to establish branches in Chulong Bay
. It is a sacrificial place, and some chambers of commerce in Avalon that deal with timber have also joined it. Although it is definitely difficult to compete with Lothern due to its geographical location, as long as the trade fleets of other races come here, I believe it will only take time to develop. Problem."
Alagil explained some things. Although the two blood descendants of dragon tamers caused some turmoil in Caledor, the affairs of Young Dragon Bay were still protected with the participation of several important figures.
"Not bad. I have already opened up the relationship with the empire. It is only a matter of time before the dwarves are involved. I will let people release part of the defensive magic and build a lighthouse to guide other races here." "But this may attract the attention of some pirates. To Whelpling Bay."
"Defensive magic is something that does more harm than good. In the past, this method was continued because of Ulthuan's closed environment and special geographical location, but it was an obstacle to our plan." Hearing
this Alajir nodded to express his understanding, and the matter was basically confirmed.
At this time, he suddenly thought of something again, and couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, as if he was hesitating whether to speak.
Obviously, Imric noticed that this hesitant expression was just waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say. There are only two of us here."
After receiving the order, Alajir explained what he wanted to understand. After all, this matter was indeed a bit strange.
"Prince, Davian is accompanying two human girls in Young Dragon Bay. The impact of the matter is somewhat large. You also know his status in Caledor. As your personal guard and a student of His Excellency Alfonso, many people have noticed this situation. Some people speculate that you and these two The human beings named Lani and Melina have a close relationship, and Davian's respectful attitude undoubtedly proves this."
When Alakir mentioned Lani and Melina, Imric immediately thought about it. Without thinking, he said casually,
"Indeed, the two of them have a very close relationship with me. There is no need to pay attention to this matter. Davian's companionship is based on my order, but his respect is his personal idea." For
Yi Aragir couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Mrik's performance as a true man. He had just found two human girls in the old world, and he was about to marry Princess Adira in the blink of an eye. There was also an ambiguous eternal queen, so he could only Is he worthy of being the leader of Caledor? He is actively involved in encouraging fertility and plays a leading role. There are two suitable women in the family. Shouldn't he introduce him to the prince accidentally... "Refugees and
mercenaries How is the matter handled, and the slaves purchased from Arabi."
Imrik's words interrupted his random thoughts, and Alagir immediately adjusted his mentality, and then answered,
"We accepted a total of thirty-two thousand and one thousand One hundred and twenty-seven refugees, with about 19,000 laborers, most of the others are children, and some elderly people; 7,642 mercenaries, and 4,320 Arabi slaves Five of them have been placed in Young Dragon Bay for this period of time, and nothing has happened under strict control." "
However, I must remind you that the kingdom's finances are now a bit tight, and the soldiers who died in the Battle of Fennoir Plains need to Providing a large amount of pensions, establishing the Loyal Si Academy, the construction of Chulong Bay, the military expenditures to support the old world, and the expenditures to maintain the lives of refugees and mercenaries." "These places have almost consumed the gold leaves obtained from the celebrations in previous years
. Although the output of the Vaal Anvil can be maintained for a while, if you do not relax the number of arms exports, it may lead to financial difficulties." "Although your
wedding to Princess Adira will not be used from the kingdom's finances . Allocate funds, but Chief Morris said that you have invested most of the palace finances in the Vaal Anvil and the Tower of Flame. This wedding may require some subsidies from the kingdom's finances." Aragir finished these things with emotion
, Imrik, who has only one person in his family, doesn't care how much the palace's finances are. Originally, part of the kingdom's finances would flow into the palace, but he threw all of it into the Vaal Anvil and the Flame Tower. In addition to maintaining the normal expenses of the palace, almost nothing If there is no surplus, where can I find such a good leader who only thinks about the kingdom?
