Did I ask you to give me the money?
Tangning glared at Sai Wen. Because Morasman was present, she couldn't tell him that he didn't need to fork out the 50,000 gold coins.
The York Family would be responsible for paying the bills of the Guild of Magic and the Guild of Warriors, so the money that the nobles took out would be in his pocket. As for the other money, he would be responsible for the specific matters.
He would build an army, rebuild it after the war, and provide compensation. These were all money that should be spent, and he would implement them. Only the recruitment fee was a small trick that he played to get something for nothing.
Tangning lifted her head and looked at Morrisman." What do you think?"”
Under Tangning's gaze, Morrisman felt a sudden sense of panic. He knew Tangning was forcing him to make his stand clear." My Lord, in order to get out of this predicament, it's worth it no matter what the price is."”
Tangning nodded her head in relief," Yes, you're right. For a city to develop, stability is of utmost importance. Honestly speaking, the current situation in Ghana is a mess.
I have to end this situation as soon as possible. I have to end this damn war at all costs and bring the city's development back on track.
Deitrick was the president of the Guild of Magic in the city, and a sorcerer of the Empire. Augusto was the president of the city's Warrior Union, a Gold Warrior."These two experts represent two powerful forces. They have a very positive significance in ending the war as soon as possible, so I think that their participation is a good thing.”
Morrisman agreed." Sir, you are wise. Please rest assured. Leave the matter of raising the funds to me and Sir Savon. We will not disappoint you."”
"Very good!"
Tangning paused for a moment before her eyes flashed coldly," I'll leave it to the two of you. If anyone is unwilling to invest or cause trouble, I'll make a note of it. Tomorrow, I'll promote them to be vanguard knights and give them a chance to fight bravely and contribute to the country."”
As soon as Tangning stepped out of the door, she saw Neon. "Lord Neon, are you waiting for me?" York asked, waiting at the door.”
"Yes!" "Sir Orlando is waiting for you in the magic sensing room," Neon said calmly.”
"Alright, I'll go to the Mage Tower now!”
Tangning looked deeply into Neon's eyes before she turned around and walked towards the Magic Tower. The moment she turned around, a strong killing intent flashed across her eyes.
After passing through the hall on the first floor, Tangning arrived at the second floor of the Magic Tower. On the second floor's memory crystal, Orendo... The Duke of York appeared on the Memory Crystal again.
"Viscount Donald, my child, what should I say to you?”
Tangning politely bowed and said," Good night, Your Excellency Duke. Did you need me for something?"”
"I heard that you did well in the Netherlands!”
"In order to defeat that despicable bandit gang, you've raised quite a sum of money, haven't you?" Orendo replied as he returned the greeting. Did it include the funds to recruit mages and warriors? And the funds for building an army, post-war reconstruction, and pension, are they included?”
As expected, this was the case! Damn Neon. York, this person should have died a long time ago!
Looking at Tangning's ashen face and her eyes flickering between red and green, Orendo sighed," I need an explanation. The Elder Council also needs an explanation. A reasonable explanation."”
"Uncle, explain what?"
" I have two questions," Tangning complained." First, if I don't raise the money, will the family pay me back?" The answer was definitely yes, because this was something that the clan had already agreed to. Second, is the Xiongnu Republic my territory? Of course, the answer was yes. Somalia was my territory, and I was in my own territory. I asked for money from the people in my territory. This did not violate the interests of the family, right?
Raising funds and the family paying for the war were two completely unrelated matters. Why did they have to be linked together?”
"Because these two things have one thing in common," said Ao Lun Duo sternly.
The common point was to end this damn war. The reason why you raised funds was to end the war."The family's payment for the war is also to help you end the war. You shouldn't take advantage of the family's good intentions. You shouldn't take money from both sides.”
"Uncle, let's change our angle!”
Tangning explained," Ghana is like a money bag and I am the owner of it. When I take money from this money bag, how much money I take, and what reason I use to take money are all my own matters. No matter what reason I use, it can't change the fact that I am the owner of the money bag, right?"
The clan helped me to pay the war funds to protect this money bag. The clan helped me to protect this money bag, so I helped the clan pay the taxes of the two desolate islands that no one wanted. Therefore, when the clan was in danger, as a member of the clan, I would not hesitate to contribute to the clan.”
"There will always be a time when the money in the purse is empty. When I take the money, I also have to consider whether the money I take will cause the purse to dry up. I also have to consider putting back a portion of the money and making more money out of the money in the purse. What the family needs to do is to protect the purse as much as possible. Only in this way can I make corresponding contributions when the family needs it.”
As he listened, Orlando's expression gradually became serious.
"This meeting will be presented to the Elder Council of the family. The Elder Council will make a new resolution. You have to stay here and wait for the Elder Council's ruling, understand?”
Judgement? Hehe, just those greedy elders? Tangning didn't think much of it, but she could only helplessly reply," Alright, I'll wait here."”
Time slowly passed. While waiting for the results, Sai Wen brought a team of servants and served a table of delicious dishes.
These servants were originally from the City Lord's Mansion. The death of York and the new lord, Donald. With York's arrival, the servants also changed their masters.
After the meal, the servants quickly removed the banquet. After a while, the memory crystal in the room lit up again.
Orendo's expression was very serious. He looked at Tangning and said," Unfortunately, Donald, the Elders Council has decided to stop paying for the war in the Xiongnu.”
" It's within my expectations," Tangning's lips twitched as she replied in a displeased tone.
"I didn't start the war, but I have to end it. Duke Orlando, do you know what this decision means? In this war that I didn't start, I won't get a single copper coin from my family!
This was the essence of the problem! Uncle, has there been such a precedent in the history of the family?”
Orendo also felt that it was not good, but he shook his head regretfully.”
Tangning did not say anything else as she turned around and walked out of the sensor room.
As he watched Tangning leave, Orendo muttered," Did the Elders Guild do the right thing this time? Why do I have a bad feeling?”
As she walked out of the Magic Sensing Room, Tangning did not even look at Neon, who was standing at the door. York glanced at him. He waved his hand to summon a servant and said," Prepare a carriage. I'm going out."”
Sai Wen appeared at the door of the sensor room at the right time." Young Master, where are you going?”
" The Temple of Light," Tangning said as she walked." I want to go to the Temple of Light."”
