Ever since she presented the five strategies, Empress Saint Alegria seemed to have forgotten about this matter and had not responded for a long time. Lin did not rush the other party, but just carried out various preparations for the bank in the Karlsruhe Empire.
After all, the stakes are so high that it really isn't that easy to decide. And according to my experience before and after time travel, no matter how good an outsider's idea is, the person being advised usually chooses to 'maintain the status quo' and not make any changes. It sounds like
It's discouraging, but this is reality. Change is not an easy decision for a person to make.
Although the Empress has not yet decided how to act on the matter, there is no need to delay the bank affairs of the Gold Coin Goddess. Although the sixteen elves are mainly doing it, the other nobles do not want to 'trouble' someone at all.
Sorcerer-like.
However, there are not so many taboos in the territory directly under the empress. It is still necessary to arrange for someone to personally coordinate many preparatory tasks, such as regional wealth status surveys, site surveys, etc.
In fact, Lin wanted to integrate the data in the hands of the goblin Luca, combine it with his own skills in information processing, and use programming language to compile an information system that can be updated by the goblin in real time and translate the goblin text in real time.
However, Luca had no intention of handing over his only relied-upon skill, for fear that he would be marginalized or even kicked out of sight. Just like many old masters in his hometown, they were afraid of teaching their apprentices and starving the master to death.
Since the only thing he is interested in is that there is no possibility of getting involved in the things in the hands of the goblin Luka, Lin can only find other things to do instead of letting himself do nothing. Entering the palace and being tired of the empress all day long is an option. Anyway,
It is very simple to gain the reputation of a counselor or a jester and make yourself a legitimate follower.
However, considering that once you enter the Marquis Gate, the situation in the palace will only get worse, not better. Someone who is afraid of trouble subconsciously refuses to enter such a place. The central government cannot stay, so he runs away.
The only place he could go was the empress's only secondary title territory, the Count of Azores.
Speaking of which, the royal children of the Karlsruhe Empire are quite miserable. Having royal blood does not mean that they will have an iron rice bowl. It depends on whether they can be enfeoffed or inherit a territory before they can have a fixed income. In addition,
Besides, he is raised by his parents and becomes a royal beetle.
If you want to enfeoff or be allowed to inherit the territory, you must have meritorious service. Otherwise, no matter how big or small the royal territory is, it may be taken back by the emperor. After all, the territory is limited, and one enfeoffment will be less than the other. Each emperor will be responsible for enfeoffing the royal family.
The children are very cautious. Of course, the royal children who have territories and titles will try their best to retain them for their own heirs.
Keno, who was the princess at the time, did not end her career as an adventurer. After returning to Neuquen Imperial City, she immediately went to the Plains of Oz to strive for the first meritorious service in her life. As a result, the imperial subjects
In my mouth and ears, it is like a counterattack drama in life, all the way to the top. As for the before and after, the bitterness cannot be explained by outsiders.
Also because she had made great contributions on the Plain of Oz with her ship-cutting sword, Her Royal Highness the Countess had almost never been to her own earldom before she threw herself into the drama of succession in Neuquén Imperial City. So this territory
She is still quite unfamiliar with the Empress.
In fact, this is also the normal behavior of most royal children and their fiefdoms. The better ones will send their cronies to manage the territory, and I will stay in the imperial city to count money and spend money. The worse ones will be sent by the emperor to manage the territory, and I will stay there.
While counting money and spending money in the imperial city, you also have to worry about when the territory will be taken back by the emperor.
The current acting consul of the Count of Azores, Sir Gabe, is a member of the 'Emperor', not a close aide of the Princess Cono. After that person ascended the throne, because of Sir's always impartial and neutral stance, it was natural for him to
The emperor continued to manage the situation. The Empress did not have enough trustworthy people, so she had to make do with them.
Sir Gabe does not have the arrogance of young people in his work, and his performance has always been stable. But this does not mean that Sir Gabe is a stubborn old school, but this middle-aged man with a curly beard clearly understands that when working under the current empress, it is very difficult to do things.
Not making mistakes is the greatest achievement.
This new thing, a bank, has become the darling of fans in less than a year. No matter where they are, people are trying to contact the goddess of gold coins, hoping to be allowed to build a bank.
Travelers who are away from home are no longer picky about the coins they receive, or accept bad money with grievances. There may be a discount in use, but these people still welcome these coins, which are both good and bad.
.They are even willing to take the initiative to use Coin coins and exchange them with people they meet on the road until all the Coin coins in their hands are exchanged.
This is because the Goddess of Gold Coins can only withdraw money from specific places. Otherwise, if you just use new money to buy old money, someone will take advantage of the early days when banks are not all over the land to specifically exchange the money in everyone's hands.
But all this did not have such a big echo within the Karlsruhe Empire. Because the empire itself could cast fine money, its value was not inferior to the Coin coin, or even more.
It’s just that the Imperial Essence Coin is not that durable. It can be dented with a little force, and it will be deformed when rubbed hard. It’s not unheard of for the portrait of the Empress to be directly rubbed into a meatball face... If you think about it seriously, there seem to be quite a few shortcomings.
of.
Now, with the approval of Her Majesty the Empress, the Count of Azores is preparing to establish a bank. Sir Geb certainly has no objections, and various preparations have been carried out in accordance with standards. Lin's job is to inspect the progress and then make corresponding arrangements.
Don't look at the fact that the Count of Azores belongs entirely to Her Majesty the Empress. As long as she makes a decision on anything, no one else has any room to comment. But for things like building a house, as long as it is not built with magic materials, magic can be used to simplify the project and work.
To speed up, you still have to do what you want to do, and you can’t omit a single step. Unless you want to build a tofu building.
So someone seems to have become the overseer of the scene. He lives in the Earl's mansion. Anyway, the empress agreed, and this mansion has not welcomed its serious owner for a long time. Although Sir Gabe also lives in it, the owner
All the rooms used were sealed and only servants were arranged to clean them every day. Sir himself lived in the entourage's room, while Lin lived in the guest room.
During the day, in addition to wandering to the construction site to take a look, someone spent the rest of the time strolling around the Port of Azores.
The strength of a count territory is actually not enough to establish a gathering place at the level of a 'city', but the Port of Azores is a quite prosperous port city. It can develop here thanks to its geographical location and topography.
It is quite superior and naturally gathers population and money.
The count's castle is built on a cliff on the seaside. The castle is small in scale and ordinary in shape. The most important building is a tower, and it is not a simple magic tower, but a magic tower that also functions as a lighthouse. Through magic
With the convenience of the tower's energy pool, the lighthouse's light stays on all year round.
Under the cliff is a crescent-shaped fjord, with rocks extending out from the mouth, leaving only a small gap, forming a natural sheltered deep-water harbor with a wide belly and narrow mouth. Not only are the waves in the fjord very small, but it also has excellent ability to withstand storms.
Even if a hurricane hits in the summer, as long as the boats can be secured properly, the damage will be lower than in other coastal cities.
There is a unique high-quality port and there are no regulations such as sea restrictions. If the city cannot develop, it will definitely be a man-made disaster. Fortunately, the Count of the Azores did not encounter similar problems. Because successive emperors will
This place is regarded as a treasure and is very much protected. Of course, no one should be allowed to mess around here.
In return, the Port of Azores also provides generous tax revenue, offshore resources, and rare treasures from Dragon Island.
Speaking of which, the Count of Azores fell into the hands of the then princess Keno, but there were some twists and turns. Logically speaking, this kind of territory that all nobles are jealous of must be firmly in the hands of the emperor himself, let alone
It was said that it was given to a descendant of the collateral lineage.
But the late empress has passed away. Among the secondary titles belonging to the royal family, all the titles such as duke and marquis have been taken up. And those who occupy the titles and were once powerful heirs to the throne are working tirelessly to self-destruct.
Therefore, when a princess made great achievements and was waiting for the title to be conferred, the nobles of the empire, large and small, worked together to seal the title of Count of Azores.
At that time, not everyone in the royal family objected, but considering that everyone had ruined their reputation and credibility, opposition had no effect. Therefore, with the strong operation and support of the nobles, the princess Keno was allowed to pick up a
Cheap.
In terms of territorial area, the Count of Azores is relatively small at the level of count territories. However, in terms of population and financial resources, it can be raised several levels higher. In addition, the sense of superiority that has always been directly attributed to the emperor makes
The people living in this port are proud of themselves, and this is reflected in the impression the city gives people.
Homo sapiens races of all colors walk energetically on the streets, the scene is harmonious, and there is no groundless contempt or hostility towards each other. Occasionally, they will greet acquaintances warmly when they meet them.
What's particularly special is that there are no street children or beggars on the streets here. Occasionally, crazy children pass by in groups, and they are all children from nearby families. This is a great thing for Midi.
things.
In other cities, no matter how prosperous they are, there are still shady places hiding filth and evil. Street children or beggars will live concentrated in such places, but during the day, they will still appear in other bright and beautiful places.
Sometimes they do menial jobs, and sometimes they come with really bad intentions. However, the Port of Azores does not seem to have these dirty places and marginalized people in society.
