Golems and monsters are still mining minerals in the three mines. Every time the magic circle is transmitted, minerals will come in.
"Oh! They look like they're working hard."
After meeting the monsters, Lin Qing decided to provide them with plenty of food.
“Should I start with gold or silver? It takes a lot of money to accept refugees and develop land.
Lin Qing summoned a puppet and loaded the minerals in the workshop into the blast furnace.
A magic circle that emits high-temperature flames is engraved on the blast furnace.
Therefore, as long as you have enough mana, you can smelt any metal without adding any other materials required for smelting (such as coal).
"Let's see, the melting temperature of silver is lower than that of gold?"
Lin Qing tested the melting temperature of the metal and triggered the blast furnace magic circle.
Wow!
A huge fire erupted in the blast furnace, and after a while, the silver turned into a liquid and flowed into the hole below the "May 4th" square.
The silver flows out, cools in a rectangular frame, and becomes a silver ingot.
"Okay, let's make gold this time."
Lin Qing raised the temperature of the furnace a little and melted the gold ore.
As time went by, gold bars and silver bars piled up in front of Lin Qing in a pyramid shape.
Lin Qing held a gold ingot in his hand and grinned.
"Hoohoo, if things go on like this, not only the immigration funds for the refugees, but also the land development funds will not be a problem.
However, Lin Qing was stunned for a moment.
"How should I use them?"
Gold and silver today are worth thousands of dollars.
Might work for the princess and the trailer, but the problem is the source of funding cannot be revealed.
"There's nothing here to make anyone else believe..."
Lin Qing thought about what he had to do. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and thought of a good idea.
"Right! I can do it!"
His expression brightened, he came to the underground laboratory, and began to look for boxes and samples of suitable size.
After hearing what happened to Brandon from Roger, Lu's men went crazy.
"I don't understand. Is the young master really careless!"
"Because of his age, the young Lord is swayed by such thoughts, but Sir Roger should not be swayed!"
"It's huge. The Sovereign Earl is not going to sit still. What are we doing now?"
"What needs to be done! We are now totally ruined!"
For a while, the meeting room was full of everyone's thoughts.
After the turmoil subsided, Dixon, the chief financial officer, asked Hans, the chief retainer.
Hans has been listening to the others with a firm face.
"Master Teller, what do you think of the young master's move?"
"there is nothing."
Hearing this unexpected answer, Dixon looked puzzled.
"Do you think the Luo Mansion will become popular because of the young master's actions?"
"Anyway, we have to fight the earl to the death. The great change that happened two months ago is probably related to the earl."
Hans couldn't speak because he didn't have any clear clues. However, he is ninety-nine percent convinced that the earl is behind it.
In the entire empire, the Luo family fought almost alone. However, there is a monarch earl who has a bad relationship with the manor.
In addition, recently gathered information indicates that the Earl wants to annex the Viscount Rokan.
Hans had heard of it from the west of the empire. As soon as the words came out, all the servants were angry.
"No way, really?"
"That greedy pig!"
Their anger was like an active volcano, and after hearing Roger's words, their anger grew even higher.
"I'm not sure, so I'll try not to say it, but this time, we were assassinated by a group of people dressed as peddlers on our way to buy ear people."
"Oh my God!"
"They have titans, and some of the assassins are knights, probably monarchs. He's got his eye on the land, for sure."
"Ahem! That dirty bastard!"
At that moment, no one blamed the young lord for his decision.
The same applies to Hans. He tried to deal with the situation as calmly as possible.
"If that's the case, then the Earl is very likely to come to my young master again."
"He failed an assassination attempt. The next one may be a territorial war."
It is impossible to fight a territorial war at any time.
In order to declare war, one must have just cause and permission from the Imperial Council.
However, if it is a well-connected nobleman like the earl, they can make a reasonable reason to get the permission they want, especially because they are related to the royal family.
War is inevitable and should not accept more refugees. "
Dixon nodded at the words of one of the squires...
"I agree. Feeding thousands of people will cost a lot of money. Can we spend money on them when we need to prepare for war?"
This land needs more people than it already has, that's a fact.
But in the face of a crisis, if they accept tens of thousands of refugees at a time without funds, serious problems will arise.
"Refugees will turn into mobs if their basic needs are not met. We're broken before we even get to the battle with the Earl.
Dixon's words seemed to be correct, and anxious expressions appeared on the faces of the retainers again.
"The money problem has been solved, so you won't object to accepting refugees, will you?"
"Of course, because we need more people to keep the manor alive. However, we only have enough to make ends meet..."
Once they heard that the young lord had over a hundred thousand dollars.
But later they were told that the funds were used to prepare for the construction of a magic tower, and the remaining money was used to buy new titans.
"I hope the money is spent on the estate."
"I will grant your wish!"
The door of the room opened, as if waiting for Dixon's words to end. Lin Qing went in.
He walked toward the middle of the room and dropped something on them.
"That, that!"
"That... isn't that gold?"
The rectangular object on the table is shining brightly.
The attendants all stared at these things with wide eyes.
Although the volume of gold is not large, it seems to be about ten kilograms.
"Where did all this come from?"
Dixon's eyes widened.
Gold bars of this size are known to be found only in the vaults of the Royal Bank and the Crown.
"It doesn't matter where it came from. Can you really do what you say?"
"Yes of course."
"You too?"
"Yes Yes."
The retainers nodded one after another, and Lin Qing led them to the Devil's Castle.
"Young master, why do we have to get close to the Demon Realm?"
"Do you still remember the day I went to Pluto Company to buy building materials?"
"Yeah, you think the Demon King's City is too old, and you want to repair it."
"That was real. I was looking around to see what needed fixing when I found a strange box on the ground under a collapsed wall."
