Chapter 141 -140- The Fiscal Situation of the Territory(1/2)
Chapter 141 -140- The financial situation of the territory
"Half a million...is too little?"
Charlotte couldn't help but raise her voice.
Quasimodo nodded:
"That's right..."
"Master, you don't know something. When the old servant was still involved in the operation of the manor ten years ago, the funds shipped from the territory every month were at least 1.5 million quintana."
Charlotte:……
Good guy!
One and a half million a month...
Making tens of millions a year?
This is not Blue Star’s soft coin!
If we really compare according to purchasing power, one Quintana is almost equivalent to one thousand to two thousand yuan of Blue Star. Rounding off, this is a monthly income of more than 2 billion...
And this is not revenue, it is actual money delivered to the manor.
so funny!
If someone with this kind of income were in Blue Star China, they would be among the top giants in the country!
Of course, there are supernatural powers in the world of Miria.
The monetary system here is still different from that of Blue Star.
But even so, the Castel family is indeed extremely wealthy!
Of course, money is not everything.
For extraordinary beings at the first level of Fanxing, money is still very important, but after the second level of Silver Moon, money is just a number.
They have too many ways to make money, and they will become less concerned about money, but more about some extraordinary things that are more precious than money.
And the value of many extraordinary things cannot be measured with money.
Even if it is possible, it is often expensive but not marketable.
"Master... I was very surprised that that person could spend all the family's treasury for so many years. Now it seems that it is not only that person who purchased various magic materials at exorbitant prices to perform evil rituals, but also because in recent years
There is less and less money to deliver to the estate."
Quasimodo said solemnly.
After hearing his words, Charlotte nodded slightly.
Although half a million quintana already made her quite surprised and satisfied, as a lord, no one would dislike having less quintana in his pocket.
After all, everything requires money, and cultivating extraordinary people also requires money.
"Don't worry, we'll talk about it after we get back to the manor."
Charlotte glanced at Baron Salon, who had been silent since paying homage to her and seemed to be deeply troubled, and said thoughtfully.
The carriage drove back to Castle Manor in a mighty manner.
After entering the manor, Baron Sharon, who had been silent, looked around, and finally couldn't help but speak again:
"Miss Charlotte, I heard something happened to the family on the way? The old lady...is gone?"
Charlotte was not surprised that Baron Chalon knew what was going on in the manor.
The accident in Castres is no small matter in Boulder. Although this convoy must have left Castres a month ago, as long as it rests on the way, it is very likely to get information from other businessmen or local people.
The residents heard about what happened in the manor.
However, it is obvious that the other party's understanding is quite limited, and he probably only heard some information from hearsay.
Thinking of this, Charlotte's eyes dimmed slightly, showing a sad expression:
"Yes, grandma... is already dead. She was bewitched by the Blood Demon Cult and eventually died in an evil sacrifice."
"The old lady has really fallen? Has she turned into a blood demon? Miss Charlotte... I know it will cause you pain to mention this matter, but... as a noble of the territory, I still need to ask you clearly.
What happened in the manor?"
Baron Chalon asked solemnly.
Charlotte glanced at Sebastian who was standing aside. Sebastian nodded, took a step forward, and said elegantly:
"Your Excellency Sharon, this matter is a long story..."
With that said, Sebastian told Countess Castel the whole story.
After listening to Sebastian's story, Baron Sharon's expression gradually became serious.
After a long silence, he sighed:
"I didn't expect that something like this would happen. Lady Charlotte, please express your condolences..."
He naturally changed the title of Charlotte to "adult".
After saying that, he looked at Sebastian's typical elf appearance again, and couldn't help but ask:
"I was very concerned about it just now. I haven't seen you next to Lady Charlotte before. Who are you?"
"I am Sebastian, the butler of Castel Manor and Miss Charlotte's loyal servant."
Sebastian smiled.
"Sebas?"
Baron Chalon was stunned.
Soon, his eyes widened again, and he almost jumped up subconsciously:
"Wait? Sebastian? That elf of fire? You are the president of the Rose Society?!"
Sebastian smiled slightly:
"It's down there."
"But as the president of the Rose Society of the underground gang, why did you become Miss Charlotte's butler?"
Baron Chalon frowned, his expression a little wary and hostile.
Nobles have always despised gangsters. Even if Sebastian is powerful, he does not like him, and he is full of vigilance because of this.
"Of course it's because the Rose Society has always been a peripheral force of the Castel family, and I have always been a secret servant of the family. It was only after the countess's accident that I came to the manor to accompany the master."
Sebastian said matter-of-factly.
"Will Rose be a peripheral force of the family?"
Baron Chalon's frown deepened.
Obviously, the Holy Judgment of the past two days has not spread too far, and Baron Sharon is not aware of it yet. This is probably because the Holy Court deliberately downplayed the news. After all...a failed judgment is not a bad thing.
Something worth promoting.
Baron Sharon looked at Charlotte, who nodded slightly in approval. The baron from the territory hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded to Sebas with a frown:
"I see."
After telling the other party about the current status of the manor, Charlotte asked about the status of the territory in a indirect way, hoping to see if the other party would take the initiative to talk about transporting funds.
However, what she got in exchange was the official response from the other party that "everything is fine in the territory."
Charlotte glanced at Quasimodo, who immediately understood.
He took a step forward and asked respectfully:
"Lord Sharon, I'm looking at this month's manifest. Is the amount of funds sent to the manor... much less than before?"
"Too much less?"
Sharon was stunned.
He picked up the manifest and looked at it, shook his head and said:
"No, it has been this amount for the past two years."
"But I remember that the funds sent by the territory every month were around 1.5 million quintana, and sometimes they could even exceed 2 million."
Quasimodo frowned.
Sharon was silent for a while and sighed:
"That was many years ago, and things are different now."
"Why? Did something happen in the territory?"
Quasimodo asked.
Sharon glanced at him and did not answer. Instead, he saluted Charlotte and said:
"Lord Charlotte, can we...can we talk alone?"
To be continued...
