Chapter 336 Financial Issues

After the unmarried couple finished their dance, the banquet also came to an end. Originally, Imric planned to take Adira to see the sea and talk about what he had seen during this period, but he did not expect to be stopped by Adela.

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. It was good to have a reliable partner. When he returned home, he could also solidify his position. He could be the first to charge in a fight. In his free time, he could Where can I find this kind of tool dragon to lead my subordinates to practice?

After entering the hall, he told Elvis, "Let Aragir come to see me."

Not long after, Alagir, who was in charge of Young Dragon Bay and refugee affairs, arrived in front of the Dragon Claw Throne, and then the two of them went to the conference room, intending 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 Tyronlock also came here, and the participation of the Cabernet Sauvignon Chamber of Commerce also allowed some chambers of commerce in Lothern to move in. A branch was opened in Chulong Bay. Although it has not yet carried out large-scale trade due to the short time, it has undoubtedly achieved some results."

"The Queen also asked people to build a sacrificial place in Young Dragon Bay, and some timber-dealing chambers of commerce in Avalon also joined in. 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’s just a matter of time before it develops.”

Alagil explained some things. Although the two blood descendants of dragon tamers caused some turbulence 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 come. I will let people release some of the defensive magic and build a lighthouse to guide other races here."

"But it might put some pirates on 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 is an obstacle to our plan."

After hearing this, Alagir nodded to express his understanding, and the matter was basically settled.

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.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, there are only two of us here."

After receiving the order, Alagir explained what he wanted to understand. After all, this matter was indeed a bit strange.

"Prince, the impact of Davian accompanying two human girls in Young Dragon Bay is a bit big. You also know his status in Caledor. As your personal guard and a student of His Excellency Alfonso, this has caused many Everyone has noticed this situation, and some people speculate that you have a close relationship with these two humans named Lani and Melina, and Davian's respectful attitude undoubtedly proves this."

When Imric heard Alakir mentioning Lani and Melina, he said smoothly without even thinking about it,

"Indeed, the two of them have a very close relationship with me, so there is no need to care about it. Davian's companionship is based on my order, but his respect is a personal idea."

Regarding Imrik's performance as a real man, Alagir couldn't help but give a thumbs up secretly. 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. I can only say that he is 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 them to the prince accidentally...

"How is the issue of refugees and mercenaries being handled, and the slaves purchased from Arabi."

Interrupted by Imric's words, Alagir immediately adjusted his mentality and answered,

"We have accepted a total of 32,127 refugees, of which there are about 19,000 laborers, most of whom are children, and some elderly people; there are 7,642 mercenaries, There are 4,325 Arabi slaves, and they have been placed in Xiaolong Bay for this period of time, and nothing happened under strict control."

"However, I must remind you that the kingdom's finances are now a little tight. The soldiers who died in the Battle of Fennoir Plains need to provide a large amount of pensions, establish the Loyal College, the construction of Young Dragon Bay, support the military expenditures of the old world, and maintain the lives of refugees. and mercenary expenses.”

"These places have almost exhausted 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 liberalize the number of arms exports, it may lead to financial difficulties. .”

"Although your wedding to Princess Adila will not allocate funds from the kingdom's finances, Chief Morris said that you have invested most of the palace's finances in the Vaal Anvil and the Flame Tower. This wedding may require the kingdom's finances to It provides some subsidies.”

Alagil finished speaking these things with emotion. Imric, 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 them all into the Anvil of Vaal and the Flame. Tower, apart from the normal expenses of maintaining the palace, has almost no surplus. Where can I find such a good leader who only thinks about the kingdom.
