Everyone couldn't help but swallowed another mouthful of saliva.
Regina excitedly jumped in front of Gavin, patted him on the shoulder and said: "I knew I was right about you, haha... I earn millions every year, so many gold coins, how should I spend them?"
She took the money with peace of mind.
Although she knew that she was only paying lip service, her role in it was crucial.
Without all kinds of publicity and momentum, ghost wine could only sell for five or six hundred thousand at best, but it might not be that easy to sell.
Vallon and Darnell looked at each other.
Finally, it was Darnell who said, "We haven't done anything, so it's not appropriate to get so much credit."
Although no one complains about having too much money, they are devout believers in the God of Justice, and their faith is more important than money.
Now they are unable to pass the psychological level.
Gavin stood by to help them explain: "Mr. Darnell, please don't say that you haven't done anything. You have done much more than you imagined.
Not to mention, I took advantage of you in acquiring the manor.
Let’s talk about the subsequent issues of fairness and security, which cannot be measured by money.
If it weren't for you and Lord Ilmet here to help guard the situation, I believe the auction would not have gone so smoothly and the scene would not have opened up so easily.
For this auction, you have even put the centuries-old reputation of the Hammer of Justice on the line, and based on this alone, you deserve the dividends."
Compared to the previous vowed alliance, Gavin believed in this bundle of interests more.
In order to earn millions every year, they will not allow any force to touch the Vizeme Manor.
Vallon said on the side: "Since the agreement has been signed at the beginning, we will proceed in accordance with the agreement and cannot violate it because of the high price and low price later. This is the basis of the concept of justice."
After a pause, Vallon changed the subject and said: "We accepted three thousand bottles of ghost wine, and the payment of 560,000 yuan was donated to the Land of Three Rivers to be used to manage the Asaba River in the Land of Three Rivers. Not only this year
Yes, we will only retain 3,000 bottles of ghost wine from the proceeds that will belong to the Hammer of Justice in the future, and the rest will be donated to this project for a period of ten years."
The smile on Gavin's face froze and he stood up.
He had already fully experienced the noble character of this group of paladins in the Hammer of Justice Monastery.
Now it seems that he has only scratched the surface.
Donate millions of gold coins as soon as you ask. Is this something ordinary people can do?
Ask yourself, Gavin can't do it unless doing so can bring more benefits to himself.
Before Gavin could speak, Vallon said with a serious expression: "Sir, don't be too happy too soon. I didn't say that I will directly give you the complete control of the payment. We, the Hammer of Justice, will deploy specialists to manage and track the payment throughout the process.
, ensure that this payment is used to control the Asaba River."
"This is a matter of course." Gavin nodded in agreement, "In this case, why don't we set up an Asaba River Management Foundation to manage this money, whether it is investment income or donations.
, all used to manage the Asaba River.
It is not enough to just control a land with three rivers. After we have managed this area, we will also need to control other sections of the Asaba River.
I am willing to donate my share of the 560,000 yuan to the foundation."
"This is a good idea, this is a good idea, this is a good idea." Vallon said repeatedly.
Compared with Gavin's suggestion, my own layout is smaller.
"Count me in on this matter. My 560,000 yuan will also be donated to the foundation, but I have agreed in advance that I will become a member of the foundation." Regina agreed enthusiastically on the side.
For a person who is passionate about changing the world, this kind of thing that can affect seven or eight valleys and benefit millions of valley creatures is a big undertaking that she dreams of. How can she miss it?
"This is natural. As the largest investors of the Asaba River Governance Foundation, the three parties will each appoint one person to serve as a director, and then recruit corresponding staff and formulate salary standards and work procedures."
Gavin's brainstorm suddenly started, "We must not do this on our own. Now that we have sufficient funds, we must make full use of them and mobilize the villages and towns along the Asaba River through material rewards.
This is the first step for residents to self-manage the river sections in their residential areas.
The second step is to encourage more people to live along the Asaba River.
The third step is to call in a specialized construction team to check for deficiencies and fill them, and connect the residents’ autonomous facilities together to form a whole.”
"I'm the best at this kind of thing, leave it to me." Regina volunteered.
"Miss Regina is indeed the most suitable candidate." Gavin nodded in agreement.
"Encouraging residents' autonomy is indeed a way." Vallon affirmed, but also raised his own concerns, "It's just that it is limited by its own capabilities. The level of autonomy in those river sections will inevitably be uneven.
Leaving all kinds of hidden dangers."
"In this world, nothing can be done in one step, especially such a large project, which is done step by step. What we need to do now is to mobilize the enthusiasm of the local people first and let them taste the benefits of the stability of the Asaba River.
, their enthusiasm for governance will become higher in the future, and we will find every opportunity to provide in-depth guidance or intervention."
Gavin has his own opinion on this matter, "Actually, the focus is still on the land of three rivers. As long as this area is managed well, the Asaba River will be tamed in half. I will personally take charge of this matter."
"
"We can't rest assured that Mr. Gavin will preside over it." Wallon suggested, "Why don't we decide on the personnel of this foundation first. For Hammer of Justice, Darnell will be fully responsible for this matter."
Lord Ilmet smiled and said to Regina: "Since it's the money you earned, of course it's up to you to take care of it yourself. I'll leave this matter to you."
The people on both sides were not surprised.
Gavin was the only one who was a bit embarrassed. He pondered for a few minutes and said, "Miss Anna will be in charge of my side."
It’s not like Gavin never thought of taking action himself.
But then I thought about it, the main purpose of this foundation is to supervise the flow of funds.
And the construction team under his command is probably the largest one.
If you get involved too deeply, it will be inconvenient in some matters.
"Me?" Anna, who was accompanying her, couldn't help but shook her head when her name was called, "No, I can't, I...I...I can't even manage the accounts of a church, let alone
So much money... so much food... so many items."
In a tense situation, the old habit relapses.
Gavin had a different opinion on this and said: "The most important thing about accounting is carefulness and seriousness. You already have this. Other knowledge can be acquired through training and learning. In the past few days, you have been very good at this when helping me."
This matter has been decided because of his talent. The Asaba River Management Foundation is also in the early stages of establishment. Everything is a matter of crossing the river by feeling the stones and we will proceed step by step."
Darnell echoed on the side: "I don't know anything about accounting. In the next period of time, I will inevitably follow Mr. Gavin and learn this experience."
Gavin thought of how troubled he had been during the recent period, and couldn't help but suggest: "Why don't we select a few more talented students from all three sides, gather them together, hire special relevant teachers, and train them? After all, a hundred
Six hundred and eighty thousand is not a small amount, and it is likely to be more in the future. We cannot let this money die in our hands, but keep circulating it to achieve the effect of money making money."
"This is a good suggestion. After I return to the Hammer of Justice, I will focus on selecting a group of paladins with this ability." Valon nodded in agreement, "For them, this is not just about managing money, but also
The paladin who can resist the temptation of money through practice is the qualified paladin."
Regina couldn't help but smile and said: "It's easy to say from our side, but from Mr. Gavin's side, is there anything we can do in this regard?"
Now she has more or less grasped the foundation of Gavin. This guy does have a lot of extraordinary subordinates, but his specialization is more powerful.
While you are extremely good at one aspect, you have huge shortcomings in other aspects.
The kobolds' IQ is obviously low, and they are not good at accounting.
Fairies are smart enough, but their patience is not good and their attention is easily distracted. They also cannot become qualified people in this field.
The quality of immigrants from Tethyr varies widely, mainly ordinary farmers and sailors, and only a handful of them are well-educated.
The halflings could probably choose a few, but they are not among Gavin's subjects.
While Regina was making calculations, Gavin was also making calculations, and finally sighed helplessly: "If it doesn't work out, we can only use the group of drow shadows to top the list for the time being, but they can only be limited to managing the general ledger in the manor.
They are not applicable to some matters such as accounting or material tracking."
"This is indeed a good idea." Regina nodded involuntarily. When she controlled the haunted house in the ghost manor, she had dealt with these drow shadows the most.
Their level in all aspects is indeed far above ordinary people. When mobilizing them, it is the easiest and most comfortable.
Because they can draw inferences from one example and come up with many ideas that they have never thought of themselves.
They are good at intimidating people, and I believe they will not be too bad as account managers.
Amidst the buzz among everyone, a sketch of a foundation was created from scratch.
Left hand to right hand.
The original account list became the first account of the Asaba River Management Foundation.
With the support of special funds, Gavin no longer hides it, and plans to directly transfer 10,000 kobolds in batches from the Dragon Oak Territory, and will increase the number later as appropriate.
In the end, Lord Ilmet and Regina took away three thousand bottles of ghost wine from Vizeme Manor. Whether it was for sale or for personal use was not up to Gavin.
Gavin transported another two thousand bottles of ghost wine to the Hammer of Justice Monastery, adding up to four thousand bottles. The extra thousand bottles were used by Gavin to pay for the nine hundred bottles of Holy Light Spirits and food.
of.
As a result, Gavin only had 2,000 bottles of ghost wine left in his hands, plus 300,000 various supplies.
Goods such as those two cargo ships and three ships of high-quality cotton, which are extremely beneficial to our subsequent development, are all included in the three hundred thousand supplies. As the general bookkeeper, this is still convenient.
The next top priority is to build a barn.
Gavin did not choose to build this barn in the new village, but placed it in the Wezeme Manor.
Placing the barn here has many additional benefits.
First, security is guaranteed, and the secret lock can keep out most prying eyes.
Secondly, it has the effect of preventing insects and rats, so insects and rats will not dare to enter the ghost manor.
Third, by extending the shelf life, negative energy will effectively prevent mildew and inhibit growth and germination.
The disadvantage is that it is easy to be contaminated with negative energy.
However, as long as long-term and large-scale consumption is avoided, the damage caused is not fatal.
