Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 591 Celebration and Budget

The Marquis of Krilos got out of the carriage and walked slowly toward the palace. All the court guards on duty along the way solemnly stroked his breasts. This was an expression of respect for the Marquis of Krilos.

In just three short years, it was this man with a disability and two scary scars on his face who managed the finances of the reunified Christian Empire in an orderly manner, not only assisting the Emperor to reorganize it. The three major armies of the empire also have spare capacity to develop some civilian production industries, so that the empire’s economy is no longer as embarrassed as it was when it was just reunified. Even the emperor and the queen have spent the past two years holding some royal courts. activity……

"Salute to you, Lord Seliger." The head of the palace, Sir Hendry, respectfully greeted him, and gave a standard half-bow court ceremony to the Marquis of Clilos: "Your Majesty will be with you in the back garden. Drinking afternoon tea with the Queen. Because the Queen is preparing to hold a grand celebration banquet on the birthday anniversary of His Royal Highness the Little Prince, His Majesty invites adults to come, just to set aside a sum of money to organize the birthday celebration of His Royal Highness..."

While leading the way, Sir Hendry revealed the reason for his Majesty's invitation to the Marquis of Crilos. The Marquis of Clilos smiled and nodded at him: "Thank you, Sir Hendry, I remember your wife said when she went to the firm to purchase a few days ago, the beginning of next month will be the 30th anniversary of your marriage. Yesterday I got a bottle of Forest Moon Dew, which is called a fairy perfume. I think this should be a very suitable wedding anniversary gift..."

Sir Hendry was very happy. Forest Moon Dew is a very famous perfume in mainland China. It is produced in a small amount every year. A small bottle is worth more than ten Golden Ford. She believes that her lady-in-law will get the perfume to her. The female partner’s ostentation, I shouldn’t bother myself during this period of time: "Thank you, I am ashamed of receiving the gift from Lord Earl..."

It is ridiculous to say that the Marquis of Krilos holds three positions now. One is the real host of the Antares Chamber of Commerce, who has developed the Antares Chamber of Commerce into the largest chamber of commerce in the Christen Empire, with the mind of a business giant. The second is being forcibly called by His Majesty to be appointed as the treasurer of the empire, responsible for rectifying and managing the fiscal revenue and expenditure of the empire. The third Marquis of Krilos is also responsible for managing the royal family’s internal treasury revenue and expenditure, which means that he has to take care of the emperor’s private small vault. This is a drudgery that can only make money but not lose money...

In order for the Marquis of Krilos to do his best for himself, the Second Highness, that is, the emperor, very generously canonized the Marquis of Krilos, who was aliased to Seliger, as the title of Earl, and vowed to express that as long as Kerry The Marquis of Loss can serve the royal family and himself for ten years, and he will definitely designate the Marquis of Krilos as the earl of the territory...

Perhaps in the eyes of His Royal Highness, he was too good for the son of this so-called businessman who was exiled to the empire. He had a good eye and talent, and regardless of his low status and physical disability, he vigorously promoted him to the treasurer of the empire. Of course, the talent of this businessman named Selig is still outstanding. He did not live up to the expectations of his emperor. It took three years to reverse the financial disadvantages of the entire empire, and now the emperor empress The two majesty are in the mood to hold a grand celebration banquet for the seventh birthday of the little prince...

The Marquis of Krilos didn’t like to come to this palace, which was called the center of imperial power, just as he liked to stay in the small building where the Antares Chamber of Commerce resided in business affairs, where he felt more at ease. local. But there is no way, every time he is summoned by the emperor of this empire, the enemy buried in his heart, he has to suppress his own vengeance to come and deal with the emperor.

In the heart of the Second Highness, he had already forgotten the Marquis of Krilos, who was once a messenger of the business alliance and was later reprimanded as a liar by himself, and that he was just a small and insignificant person. But the pain of the Marquis of Krilos reminded him all the time, disfigured and invisible lurking to the side of the imperial capital and the second highness, what he did was like a poisonous snake, he peeped At the moment when a fatal blow...

Passing through a few corridors and turning around a few side halls, a verdant green appeared in front of him. The November sunshine gently sprinkled in the sparse tree shade, leaving a mottled and fragmented golden light. Some court maids were playing on the lawn, tossing each other and then small cloth sacks filled with spices, and the crisp and sweet laughter was like silver bells....

This is tea time. For the maids in the palace, it is a time of rest and relaxation. As if he hadn't seen the beauty in front of him, the Marquis of Krilos pulled out a grey scarf from his arms with a gloomy face. Sir Hendry next to him quickly took it, and then carefully put the scarf on the face of Marquis Krilos, and tied a knot on the back of his head...

This was the first time that the Marquis of Krilos was recruited into the palace by the Second Highness three years ago. Because the two scars on his face from his forehead to the chin scared the Queen and the maids a lot, the Second Highness jumped. The Marquis of Enzhun Krilos can meet in the palace with his face covered. In the eyes of others, it is the grace and love of His Majesty the Emperor to Count Selig, but in the eyes of the Marquis of Krilos, this is clearly another naked *naked* injury and humiliation, in order not to I scared my wife and maid, and even let myself see each other in a covered face...

"Aha... my finance minister is finally here..." The Second Highness greeted the arrival of the Marquis of Krilos with a golden cup. It can be seen that he is now in good spirits and emotions.

"Your Majesty Wan'an." The Marquis of Clilowi ​​expressionlessly bowed his head slightly to greet the Second Highness, and then turned to formally pay a courtesy to the Queen nearby. According to noble etiquette, Her Majesty the Queen should stretch out her left hand to let the Marquis of Krilos kiss her hand, but her Majesty the Queen hurriedly returned a half-bow and took the first step, avoiding the other side of the garden.

"Seligqing, please forgive my queen for being rude. She grew up in the Eastern Wilderness Prairie when she was a child, and the two scars on your forehead will always remind her of those vicious grass-barbarians. Those savages. I always like to draw a few knives on my face to show my savagery. When my queen was six years old, she hid in the haystack and witnessed the brutal savages invading her home. Killed her parents in front of her. It was a nightmare that lingered in her memories and could never be forgotten... So she was extremely sensitive to the scar on your face..." The Second Highness was the Queen’s impolite behavior to the Marquis of Krilos Apologize.

"I'm sorry..." The Marquis of Krilos expressed his apology calmly: "But the scar on my face is not what I wanted. Your Majesty, you know my escape experience. For me, it is exactly this. Two scars made those who pursued me think that I was dead and let me escape. Therefore, I can only apologize to the Queen because of the fright I received..."

"It's okay," His Highness raised the gold cup in Yang's hand, and soon the court maid presented the silver cup filled with fine wine for the Marquis of Krilos.

"This time I will let you into the palace, mainly through negotiation. Helastead’s seventh birthday will be two or three months later. The queen and I have decided to hold a grand New Year’s banquet at the end of this year for Hela. Side organized a birthday celebration meeting, inviting all the nobles of the empire to come to participate. So in the budget for holding these two celebrations, I and the queen are ready to listen to your opinions. Of course, in the case of our ability, we are I hope this event will be held as grandly as possible..."

The Marquis of Crilos was speechless, so why should he be anxious and fanatic? Prince Helastead’s birthday is March 7th. It’s only mid-November. There are at least three months left. There is no need to start preparations now. But when I thought about it, the Marquis of Krilos immediately understood that March is the rainy season and the most unfavorable day to go out.

Generally speaking, even if the New Year celebration held on January 1 lasts for more than ten days, the nobles and family members who come to participate in the New Year celebration cannot stay in the imperial capital until the rainy season has passed. Basically, they will return to their territory or manor to spend the rest of the winter and rainy season before the snow melts in February. His Royal Highness and his queen worry that in the rainy season, many nobles will refuse to take the rain to attend the little prince’s birthday celebration. In that case, the second highness and his wife who held the little prince’s birthday celebration for the first time will look very different. face……

The only thing to blame is the wrong month of birth of the little prince, which happens to be the rainy season. Therefore, the little prince had never held any grand birthday celebrations before, that is, in the court, the second maid and the queen, and some maids casually celebrated. Now the Second Highness and the Queen may have compensated him, so they decided to hold a grand birthday celebration for the little prince of Helesd when he was seven years old, and widely invited the nobles of the empire to participate.

His Royal Highness's linking the New Year’s celebration with the little prince’s birthday celebrations means that they want to stay and entertain the imperial nobles and their families who came to participate in the New Year’s celebrations until March, and then go to the little prince’s birthday celebrations. This makes it more popular. But it is not so easy to entertain these imperial nobles and their relatives. You have to provide venues for events and hold various events and banquets so that everyone will not feel bored and bored during the long winter and rainy season. All this requires a lot of gold coins...

"Your Majesty, the financial situation of your empire is still a bit tight. You need to invest more gold coins in road traffic and some people's livelihoods to make up for the damage caused by the war in the past few years. Although I personally do not recommend that your Majesty and the Queen will spend a lot of money. His money was spent on such banquets and celebrations, but I remember that your majesty’s internal treasury has ample reserves of gold coins, enough to cover and hold such celebrations, could it be......"

The Marquis of Krilos was a little puzzled. He suddenly thought that linking the New Year’s celebration with the little prince’s birthday celebration would cost hundreds of thousands of gold for this sum of money. The second highness obviously meant to hope this. The expenditure was paid out of the national treasury, not for him to pay for the imperial treasury, even if such a celebration should have been paid by the imperial treasury...

"Uh, Ching Selig, although under your guidance and overall planning, the reserves in the imperial treasury have reached nearly one million Golden Fords, which has greatly improved the daily expenses of our Royal Christian family and made it rich. , But for holding such a large-scale celebration, I think it is very beneficial to the unity and stability of the entire imperial noble class, so the cost should be borne by the national treasury, just like the celebration of the empire, what do you think?" When I said this, my face was not red at all...

The Marquis of Krilos sighed secretly and bowed slightly, "As you wish, my majesty, I will raise funds for the New Year celebration and the birthday celebration of the little prince as soon as possible, and mobilize the staff immediately. Renovation of the event venues required, in addition to stocking various materials, recruiting artists from all over the world to perform, I will complete the budget report of all preparations within three days~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and submit it to Your Majesty Yulan ..."

His Royal Highness smiled with satisfaction: "I know that Qing Seliger will not let me down. You can do things, I am very relieved. Now the empire is calm and the people live and work in peace, so it is worthwhile to spend more money on this celebration. Yes. I’m already thinking about whether or not to announce that Helasted will be my crown prince and formally become the heir of the empire on Helast’s birthday, so that his first birthday celebration will be meaningful. It will make those imperial nobles wait so long to attend this birthday celebration meeting and feel worthy of their trip..."

There was a flash of light in the eyes of the Marquis of Krilos. After the second majesty had finished talking about his plans, the Marquis of Krilos bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty's resolution as a courtier, I can't doubt it. All I think about now is how to go back. Time is running out to make a budget plan for this celebration, so I will retire first."

The Second Highness laughed blankly, but what he liked and admired most was the appearance of this copy of the Marquis of Krilos, who only paid attention to finances and ignored other things. This is also the reason why he calls the Marquis of Krilos his "treasurer". Of course, what he needs is the ability of the Marquis of Krilos to manage finances. He waved his hand: "Then you go back first, Ching Selig, I'm up to you about this matter..."

The Marquis of Krilos nodded, bowed again, and then turned and left, accompanied by Sir Hendry, the head of the palace's internal affairs.

After leaving the palace gate, after getting on the carriage, the Marquis of Crilos showed an excited look. He knocked on the wall of the carriage, and soon the voice of the guard sounded outside: "My lord, do you have any instructions?"

"Go to the Earl of Wixus, and let him see me right away," said the Marquis of Krilos.

"Yes, my lord."
