Family banquet in the royal capital of King Vilva, Viscount Javier's Mansion. Such a banquet was used to receive an old friend, so there was no big fanfare to invite people from all walks of life.
At this family banquet, the hosts were Juan Javier and his wife Anne-Marie. The guest of honor was the great magician Gabrielle Tripwood. The invited guests were King Hahn IV, Queen Catherine and
Crown Prince.
Originally, Lin had intended to bring Fen here to have a meal with Juan, a wealthy family. But the former Demon King was not an ordinary female family member. He wanted her to deal with a noble lady or lady just for a meal. Now she is respectful and insensitive.
.Fen would rather lie on her bed and eat steamed buns now, heading towards the state of a dried fish girl. So someone can only attend alone.
The reason why the king showed up was not because Juan had enough respect, but because this banquet was originally arranged by King Hahn IV. Because if the king hosted a banquet without being extravagant and wasteful, it would appear to be disrespectful of the guests and lose the king's face.
.But Hahn IV wanted to find an opportunity to talk with the magician in detail, so through Juan's relationship, this simple dinner was held.
The Queen's presence not only represents the importance of the magician, but Queen Catherine is also the only one who can make Juan obedient. With the Queen's presence, the eldest son's actions will not be too outrageous. The Crown Prince also attended, not only
King Jaen IV deliberately cultivated him, and the crown prince also took the initiative to show his kindness to Juan, his eldest half-brother.
Among the six sons born to the king, the Crown Prince had the best relationship with Juan. The other sons, not to mention being enemies, were eaten to death. The reason why the Crown Prince's position was stable was because of Juan's support.
reason.
The magician whose alias is the Prince of Elements has publicly stated that if the king's eldest son is made the crown prince, he will respect this tradition and offer his allegiance. If everyone competes based on their abilities, then he is very interested.
Get involved and make sure no one competes to win against him.
Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied the little princes are, they dare not give their half-brother an excuse to fight for the throne. For example, if the king dies and all the princes and princesses die, then the queen must be remarried.
Should we continue the royal family? Or let the queen's only remaining son take the throne and succeed him as king?
Regarding the answer to this question, the nobles of the kingdom will choose the latter without hesitation. The reason is that no one can beat Juan Javier. The issue of bloodline is not important at this time. He is strong enough.
, having a name can make things happen.
If you support the previous plan against the queen's wishes, you have to consider whether you can withstand the revenge or lessons from this great magician named Prince of Elements. After all, there is precedent for this kind of thing. In the past, when the king was critically ill, he suppressed
It was this great magician who started the rebellion and stabilized the situation in the kingdom. As for the fate of the rebels, of course it goes without saying.
The crown prince is not afraid of competition from his eldest brother, because as long as Juan has the idea of competition, no one can be his opponent. On the contrary, as long as Juan does not have that idea, then the crown prince's biggest supporter is his half-brother.
.So the relationship between the two is quite close.
Lin is not very clear about the calculations behind everyone. But what he can be sure of is that the people who will be present at this dinner are equivalent to hidden natural allies.
Therefore, he was much more relaxed in his speech at the dinner. Instead of having to think about what he said for a long time like he did when he met the emperor of the Gwana Empire before. Although he was not afraid of angering the emperor, there was no need to add extra pressure to himself.
trouble.
The theme of today's family dinner is about the changes in the Southwest Peninsula over the years. When Juan drove the airship to find Lin Gao, the two of them talked about this aspect. Although some topics were deliberately avoided, such as talking to
Various news about the Tower of the Great Sage.
But listening to King Hahn IV bragging about his country, what kind of local products there are, what are the cultural characteristics, and the strange things that have happened in the kingdom over the years. These topics all aroused someone's emotions very well.
interest.
Lin had also been to the Kingdom of Velva before. It was when he had just traveled to the Lost Land, and after starting his magic apprenticeship, he was adventuring around the southwest peninsula. At that time, the circulation of information was not developed yet, so he wanted to find a better place to spend money.
, we can only rely on our feet to confirm. Calculating, it’s been nearly seventeen or eight years.
Some places may remain unchanged for decades, but some places are changing rapidly, with no trace of the past. The Kingdom of Velva sounds like it belongs to the latter.
Of course, this conversation was not all a one-man show for the king. From time to time, he asked a certain magician who had traveled to so many places. How were those places different from the Kingdom of Velva, and what were their merits?
To simply compare the differences, let’s analyze the pros and cons. Lin, who has a lot of skills in keyboard warrior and trolling, can be said to be very familiar with it. There is no need to make up any false data to fool the king. During this period, Lin was inspecting the bank settings.
Yes, but I have done a lot of research. With these things at my fingertips, I can tell you everything.
In the meantime, the topic inevitably turned to banks, introducing the strategies of various big bosses in setting up banks. Such as the overall layout of Kawei Gong, the mine layout of Jialong Chamber of Commerce, the caution of the Emperor of the Gwana Empire, and most importantly, the Holy Spirit
The development status of the city of Estali.
After introducing so much content, he actually said good things about the bank, which made the king in front of him make up his mind. After all, when he talked about the bank with this elderly king, his face was full of hesitation.
look.
In Lin's judgment, the king also wanted to meet him in such a private occasion. Perhaps Juan was pushing hard for this matter. So what he should do was to push it forward.
Take a shot and strengthen the king's determination.
It was only when Hahn IV opened his mouth to ask questions that Lin realized that his judgment was wrong again.
"Your Excellency, I can understand that the construction of the bank is a good thing, and it is also very in line with the current needs of Southwest, especially the transaction based on the mall. But what I want to ask is, is there any good way for me to
In the promotion of the bank, maintain the status of building the first bank in Southwest China?"
All I can say is that he is worthy of being a king. I was still playing with mud, and others were already thinking about what shape the house should be built in. Someone was shocked.
Lin was silent for a moment, and King Hahn IV continued after seeing this: "According to what you said, I think the biggest purpose of the Gold Goddess is to build more banks and make them available to more people. This is a bit like various divine churches.
It is spreading faith and increasing believers, but it is a little different. Under this premise, I think it is impossible for me to block the construction of banks in other places after building the first bank in the southwest peninsula. If I do this, I will definitely offend the goddess.
And if I offend the goddess, the consequences will not look good. So how can I take advantage of the opportunity of building the first bank in Southwest China and maintain my interests in the long run?"
Before considering this issue, let's first understand the geographical location and national power of the Kingdom of Velva.
Although the Kingdom of Velva is called a 'kingdom', its actual geographical area is almost the same as that of a province in my hometown, and it is not a particularly large province. The most prosperous city is the royal capital, and other places include the feudal nobles.
The lively areas are just small towns.
But one of the great advantages of the Kingdom of Huelva is that it is located at the transportation hub of the Leon region.
Logically speaking, such a geographical location should be very conducive to business development. But the actual situation is that the Kingdom's location is conducive to business development. However, when there are other more competitive locations, the overall economic volume of the Southwest Peninsula is not large enough.
The Kingdom of Velva was squeezed out and failed to develop.
Those more competitive locations are the headquarters of the four Magicians Association branches in the Southwest Peninsula. Sijia District, Noonan District, Cadiz District and Leon District, the headquarters of the four district branches are in the Southwest Peninsula of Midi.
The earliest developed location, it is also the city with the largest population and the strongest defensive capabilities in the southwest peninsula.
The ancestors of other kingdoms and nobles came to these four places first and then radiated outwards to create the current situation.
Also because of the large gathering of magicians, various chambers of commerce have settled here in order to serve the mages. Coupled with the rise of forums and shopping malls, the geographical location of the headquarters of the four district chapters is exactly at the center of the four districts.
Their advantages have made these four cities where magicians gather become important economic hubs in the Southwest Peninsula.
In such an economic environment, even if the Kingdom of Huelva established a bank, it would only be the first establishment and the good name of the bank organization to be spread, and there would be no benefits. But this is not what Hahn IV
What this king wants.
With such an opportunity, Hahn IV wanted more. That's why he met with the magician in private and asked questions like this directly.
Lin has never thought about problems from such a perspective when promoting banks. He has always looked at how the bank should be laid out from the perspective of users, which is most beneficial to 'users' like himself, and
The layout method must also be feasible.
After all, he is not a ruler, and does not need to make plans from a high level. If he takes the initiative to do it or brings it up, not to mention whether he will be suspected of having ulterior motives, I am afraid that new responsibilities will be imposed on him. This kind of
The boomerang cannot be released.
But since someone has asked, it is not impossible to answer. Anyway, according to Lin's observation, no matter how good an idea you think you have, when it is handed over to others, it will be magically modified during the execution stage.
If you are unlucky, it is possible that it will be changed so that you cannot see the original appearance. It is the kind of euphemism that follows someone's opinion, but in fact it is just doing what he wants to do. The reason why he says this is just that he is doing what he wants.
Shifting the blame, someone can take the blame when someone takes the blame.
As for whether he has any good ideas, in fact, Lin was able to come up with one in this short period of time. However, this is not an original and new thing. It just appeared in a certain period of history in his hometown and neighboring countries before time travel, and it was very famous.
