That night, Samuel, who was officially expelled from the family, returned from the Kupgrade Family and came to the lord's mansion with a large number of people. To be more precise, this was the "breakup fee" of Samuel and the family.
In the future, regardless of Samuel's life or death, it had nothing to do with the Kupgrade Family, but one thing could not be changed. The blood flowing in his body belonged to the Kupgrade Family.
Even if one day Carlo and the Kupgrade Family were destroyed, Samuel could regain his surname and continue the true bloodline of the family.
Not putting all the eggs in one basket was the usual method of big families. It was equivalent to a disguised investment.
This group of people was specially selected by Samuel from the family. They were by no means old, weak, sick or disabled, but they were quite capable and reliable talents. Some were good at government affairs, some were good at business, some were strong, and a group of professionals who were specialized in engineering. They were suitable to solve the current crisis. After Chen Rui showed Carlo's shocking scheming and courage, the value of this "breakup fee" had undoubtedly increased several times.
Soon, Joanna staged a similar scene in the Philip Family. She did not bring back many talents, but she had a lot of money and materials. Slightly different from Samuel's situation, the Philip Family took the initiative to show goodwill.
With the two legitimate "capitals" of the Kupgrade Family and the Philip Family, plus Samuel's activities in the Jinyao Territory, Chen Rui finally had more resources on hand. He could act boldly.
As the first assistant, Ms. Inni began to shine.
Isabella was once an important minister in the Obsidian era. She controlled the two lifelines of the Fallen Angel Empire's business and intelligence. Although she was in a semi-retired state after submitting to Chen Rui, her ability was still deeply trusted by Jía. She would ask her to solve some problems from time to time.
Looking at the entire Demon Realm, Ms. Inni was a rare internal affairs talent, let alone dealing with this kind of territory.
The first thing to solve was the problem of those positions. Although the newly appointed personnel also had some inevitable shortcomings, the general framework of the entire territory had been stabilized. The stagnant and destroyed projects had also begun to be restored and rebuilt.
Samuel was most familiar with the situation in the Jinyao Territory. Although he had broken away from the Kupgrade Family, his prestige and connections did not decrease but increased. He currently served as the sheriff and legion commander of the Jinyao Territory. Joanna was a top student specializing in agriculture and animal husbandry at the Empire College. She was also a well-known botanist. She had rich management experience in the Philip Family and was appointed as an administrative officer specializing in agriculture. Compared with Samuel and Joanna, Ina was a person of the underworld. She had been a sailor, a scout, a mercenary, a businessman, and so on. Her highest achievement was the leader of the "Iron Shield" mercenary group, but now this "highest" was replaced by the chief intelligence officer and city defense captain of the Jinyao Territory.
With the efforts of Isabella and others, the intelligence department was quickly established. After a decisive thunderous strike, a family that attempted to incite the people to riot was uprooted as a typical example. It was said that a strange "guardian" of Royal Highness "Arthur" took action and killed all the enemies at the cost of zero casualties.
The next day, bloody heads were hung all over the city wall, causing a sensation in the entire territory.
This bloody suppression of killing a chicken to warn the monkeys completely deterred the rascals. Those families that were ready to make trouble were all well-behaved. Even public security had improved a lot.
Next, Chen Rui abolished more than a dozen harsh decrees originally made by Garfield and issued new decrees, which reduced commercial taxes, encouraged agricultural production, and other measures, which caused cheers from the entire Jinyao Territory.
After this series of measures, Chen Rui basically controlled the main veins of the Jinyao Territory in his hands. The entire territory did not have the chaos or out-of-control situation that some people expected. Instead, it showed a united and stable atmosphere.
This means and the time taken to solve the problem made many "eyes" pay attention.
Rex The Great got the news for the first time. He was silent for a long time on the throne alone, just like when he heard that "Arthur" only chatted for an hour in Ziyuan Palace and left.
Garfield looked at the information in his hand. While he was surprised, he sneered coldly. The battle had just begun.
Most of the people who were paying attention to the Jinyao territory were shocked. More and more relevant information was being spread in all directions.
Soon, new trouble came to the Jinyao Territory. A large number of businesses in the territory suddenly withdrew, and many trade channels were blocked or blocked by various means. For the Jinyao Territory, which mainly relied on commercial taxes, this was tantamount to taking out most of the bones and blood.
At the same time, various rumors of the lord going bankrupt and refusing to pay wages spread everywhere. The branch venue projects that were under construction were stopped. Under the instigation of some people, the people who had just settled down began to stir again. The migrant workers who were originally owed wages by Garfield went on strike, setting off a wave of wage disputes.
A series of signs such as unsalable products, unemployment, and inflation also began to appear.
Because all the family assets in the Jinyao Territory had been emptied by Garfield, even with some external assistance, the funds in "Arthur's" hands were almost exhausted by now. The earliest round of taxes would not be in the account until next month, which could not solve the urgent situation at all. The only way was to impose the most damaging tax in advance. However, Chen Rui had just announced the tax reduction and other favorable policies. Once he did so, it would be equivalent to slapping his own face, and his prestige in the territory would be greatly reduced.
Not only that, the forced tax could barely cope with the crisis of "demanding wages", but it could not do anything about the follow-up expenses. Now because the business had been hit hard, the revenue of the Jinyao Territory itself had been greatly reduced, and there were so many projects waiting to be built. It was very difficult to maintain the whole territory, not to mention the branch venue for the trade fair.
"Arthur" had been missing for seven years. Although he had the title of a guru, his current network was too weak. Even if some families had the ability to lend him a loan or lend him a helping hand, considering various factors, especially the secret warning from the second prince, they did not dare to act rashly under the premise of not having a clear position to stand on.
To everyone's surprise, the issue of demanding wages in the Jinyao Territory subsided in only half a day. The process was very simple. The lord "Arthur" took out hundreds of boxes full of black crystal coins and piled them in front of the workers. He said three sentences, "Those who complete the work with quality and quantity will be paid double! Those who delay will be paid half! Those who spread rumors will be beheaded immediately! "
The brilliance of the black crystal coins almost dazzled the onlookers. After the Third Prince showed his amazing wealth and boldness, many of the rumors that had arisen were immediately discredited.
These wealth were definitely not external support, but "Arthur's" own. However, now the biggest blood-generating mechanism of the territory itself was destroyed. If this problem was not fundamentally solved, even if Arthur had considerable financial resources, he could not fill this bottomless pit.
In the view of the experts, this move did not solve the root cause. The crisis in the Jinyao Territory had not been fundamentally resolved.
In fact, Chen Rui's real financial resources were beyond the imagination of the "experts". If the Ktribut Family was rich enough to rival a country, then Chen Rui's wealth was enough to rival the entire world. It was not a problem to raise a mere territory for free.
After calming down the wage disturbance, Chen Rui not only did not attract businessmen or open up business routes everywhere, but he made a series of strange moves in the territory, such as stepping up the construction of the branch venue, building new shops, renovating roads, and even punishing and cleaning up the relationship network of the businessmen, etc. He seemed to be ready to welcome countless big customers. This made some of the backups that some people had secretly prepared useless, and more people felt incomprehensible.
Instead of trying to fill the pit, he dug a bigger pit, which would only cause more losses. What does "Arthur" want to do?
No one knew that His Royal Highness the Third Prince was actually a rich man who had countless financial resources and was the best at making money. The virgin land of the human world was waiting for him to reclaim it. How could he lose money?
On this day, a huge figure appeared over the Jinyao Territory, almost blocking the sun. The farmers working in the farmland below looked up at this figure in surprise.
Giant dragon!
This giant dragon flew all the way over the territory and appeared over the city. It then landed and disappeared.
Giant dragons had the ability to transform into human form. Once they transformed into human form, almost no one knew where they went.
Since the Long Huang Empire itself had the unique dragon rider legion in the human world, for the people of the Long Huang Empire, the giant dragon was not as rare as in other empires or kingdoms. Relatively speaking, the degree of danger was much smaller, so the appearance of this giant dragon did not cause too much sensation.
On the second day, another three giant dragons appeared in the Jinyao Territory. These three giant dragons were not to be underestimated. They attracted the attention of many people as they flew over to the Jinyao Territory.
On the third day, there were five giant dragons; on the fourth day, there were seven; on the fifth day, there were nine … The attentive people noticed that the giant dragons that flew over every day were actually different.
If it was just one giant dragon, it would not be a big deal. However, there were so many of them for a few consecutive days. This was no small matter. Just the dragons themselves were the focus of attention!
With the help of some people, this news quickly spread to the entire Long Huang Empire. Everyone began to discuss it. Could it be that Ryūzoku had a new mission to complete in the Jinyao Territory?
Unknowingly, the Jinyao Territory had become the focus of attention of the entire Long Huang Empire.
In fact, the Jinyao Territory was also the focus of attention of Ryūzoku.
"Hey, hey, did you guys see the announcement of the magic game? If you go to the Long Huang Empire's Jinyao Territory for a drink, there's a high chance of winning a prize. As long as you take the registration code on the yellow wine bottle and enter it into the game, you can open a special treasure chest!"
"That's no ordinary wine. It's called Yellow Dragon Wine! Your level of intelligence should be looked down upon, Flo! I've already returned from that territory. I've obtained a one-month extension of the game from the treasure chest. I can play for three more hours every day! "
"That good?"
"What a good claw! Little Andrew of the Perrin Family was lucky. He obtained a golden Dragon Armor and a dungeon treasure map! "
"Better than me, Alec. I only obtained a black potion that can permanently increase speed by four points in the game. Speaking of which, that Yellow Dragon Wine is simply a delicacy bestowed by the Dragon God! After drinking that wine, everything else is tasteless. It's a pity that the supply is limited. Each dragon can only buy three bottles! I really miss that good wine … "
"Me too. I think there's an event next month too. I must go in advance. Isn't there a saying in the announcement? You get nothing if you're slow!"
"Ahhhhh! No, I have to go to that Jinyao Territory immediately! "
"Let's go together!"
"…"
