Chapter 578 Treasures in Memory
When Mo Cheng walked out of the [Golden Palace], he had an additional military position with decision-making power.
In fact, it is far more than that. Mishas stated in the [Golden Palace] that Mo Cheng has the right to advise and make decisions on any matter, and can directly enter the [Golden Palace] to find Her Majesty the Queen without reporting.
The rest of the noble ministers had no objections, but when Mo Cheng listened, perhaps because of the sense of déjà vu, he heard words like "grant the Nine Gifts, fake imperial seals and axe, wear sword and shoes when entering the palace, do not need to bow when entering the court, do not use names when praising and bowing, and be granted the same status as the three officials..."
Well, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Mo Cheng feels that he is only one step away from [holding the emperor hostage and controlling the princes].
If there is a candidate who can legally inherit Aundair, it does not seem difficult to depose the emperor.
Thinking of this, Mo Cheng laughed dumbly, "What are you thinking about? Why do you keep thinking about the spirit of Jian'an and the legacy of Wei Wu?"
He shook his head and threw the thoughts that arose in his mind due to some déjà vu into the trash can of his mind. He was not very interested in things like power.
Especially after tasting the power, Mo Cheng found that the appeal of power to him was just like ice cream in winter. You might want to eat it when you look at it, but it would be troublesome to eat it.
"However, I don't have this idea, but I can't guarantee that others won't have the wrong idea."
In today's Andair, it can be said that the only remaining legal system is supported by the territories and cities granted by Mo Cheng. To some extent, the authority of the royal family has been reduced to a dangerous level.
At the same time, Mo Cheng must often go to the Golden Palace to pay homage, because only in this way can he convey a message to others that Mo Cheng still supports the royal family of Aundair.
If one day Mo Cheng did not go to the Golden Palace for an audience for a long time, then others would probably start to wonder whether the royal family of Aundair had no supporters left.
"It's hard enough for Mishasi to face such a situation."
If Mo Cheng often meets with the emperor and even participates in and interferes in political affairs, the authority of the Aundair royal family will continue to decline with Mo Cheng's interference.
But if Mo Cheng did not meet the emperor for a long time, people would think that he had given up supporting the royal family of Aundair.
No matter what Mo Cheng does, the royal family of Aundair will face a very troublesome situation. This is [politics], something he doesn't like and is not good at dealing with.
Therefore, all Mo Cheng could decide was to remain silent during the audience and not interfere in Aundair's political affairs.
At the same time, when meeting with Misha in private, he comforted the other party.
Mo Cheng lowered his head in thought, "Well, giving a gift should be okay."
But the question of what to give was a stump for Mo Cheng. As far as he could remember, he had always relied on various advertisements to give gifts to women.
Mo Cheng decided to ask someone who knew how to give gifts to women. This person needed to know what kind of gifts women liked to receive and have a certain sensitivity to politics so as not to cause a situation like [Death of Yang Xiu].
Such a person is not easy to find, but Mo Cheng happens to know one.
"You mean..." Helena looked at Mo Cheng with a strange expression, "Your Excellency the Earl is going to ask me what gift would be better for Her Majesty the Queen?"
Helena was checking various reports in the office at this time. Since the Seranis family was a noble family promoted by Queen Caroline, after Fairhaven was occupied by the rebellious nobles, the Seranis family was also liquidated . Fortunately, the Seranis family members left Fairhaven with Archmage Muzel.
Right now Helena is liquidating and integrating the industries still held by the Seranis family. This incident has dealt a heavy blow to the Seranis family, and their industries have shrunk to less than one-tenth of their previous size.
Mo Cheng nodded. "I don't know much about gifts between nobles, let alone gifts given to women, so I have no choice but to ask you."
Helena replied hesitantly, "I think if it's a gift from His Excellency the Count, Her Majesty the Queen will be very happy no matter what it is."
It sounded like a perfunctory answer, but in fact he was mentally prepared for it. After all, he was not sure whether Helena really knew how to give the right gift.
Judging from her answer, she probably doesn't know.
Mo Cheng shrugged, "Okay, let's put this aside for now. There is another thing I need to discuss with you, which is about the future economy of Aundair."
In fact, even if the decision is made to go to war, it does not mean that one can mobilize troops and go out tomorrow just by deciding to start the war today.
War involves all aspects of life.
At the same time, even Mo Cheng knew that the current economic activity in Andair could not be said to be very bad, but it was almost non-existent.
Strictly speaking, this city is a completely isolated one, with no output, no roads leading to the outside world, and even no caravans coming and going.
The city's current material needs are all provided by the Winterhold Magic Academy, but this situation will not last long.
If he doesn't find a way to solve these problems, it won't be long before Mishasi has to worry about how to pay his subordinates.
It's not that the Aundair royal family is without money, but the royal treasury happens to be located in the central royal city. Given the current situation, that thing is as good as nothing.
"How many businesses does the Seranis family still control in the outside world?"
"Very few. The most important shipyards and fleets have been divided up by other nobles. Now Serannis has very few resources in his hands."
Mo Cheng lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said, "If I give you all these things like [Glimmer Ointment] and [Endurance Potion], how long will it take you to recover?"
Fairhaven was occupied by someone else, so Mo Cheng's properties were naturally gone.
Helena thought for a while, writing and drawing on paper, and finally answered a time.
A number that is not short.
Mo Cheng had no choice but to continue thinking about what methods could be used to make Andair produce some output and income. As long as there were unique outputs and stable roads, there would be no need to worry about the caravans not coming.
Mo Cheng, who was thinking hard, suddenly remembered that in his memory, there were several treasures located, which could solve the urgent problem first.
Those are treasures left behind by some countries that have disappeared in the long river of history, used for the restoration of their country.
At the same time, he also remembered something. There seemed to be a gold mine in a certain area of this desert.
To be precise, it is a huge precious mineral vein that includes gold as a associated mineral.
