Chapter 338 Voting
Soon, the discussions on Regon Melin came to an end.
As Lin Yun expected, the first person to stand up was Regon, who looked over 60 years old. The old man with white hair and meticulously combed his chair and slowly stood up: "Head of the Hofland family, I have to remind you carefully that 30 million gold coins are not a small amount. The Merlin family does not have such strong financial resources to support a plane legion to sweep the plane at random. I personally think that the family should write a letter to Thorne Merlin to tell him that his mission is to obtain wealth from the Rage Flame plane, rather than consuming the Merlin family's wealth in the plane war."
"Elder Regon..." As soon as the old man finished speaking, Oyemerin stood up on one side, with obvious dissatisfaction on his face: "My father has been fighting in the Rage Flame Plane for many years. Has he ever made a decision that would damage the interests of the Merlin family? If it weren't for the fierce attack of the Rage Flame Orcs, which caused heavy losses to the Plane Legion, how could my father ask for reinforcements?"
"Haha, Oye, you are worried about your father's safety. I can understand this, but you have to figure out that the Merlin family is not serving the interests of a certain person. How much benefit your father has made in the Rage Flame in the past few years? You know, I know, everyone knows that now you have 30 million gold coins. If the Merlin family specializes in minting gold coins, I can tell you clearly that the Merlin family's finances are very tight now, and you can't get out 30 million gold coins at all. If you have the ability, you can raise all these 30 million gold coins by yourself. I can even help you convince the Presbyterian Church to use these 30 million gold coins as your personal investment. In the future, the Merlin family's income in the Rage Flame plane will be monopolized by you!"
"You!" Oyemerin's face suddenly turned red. However, after opening his mouth, he did not say anything.
There is no way, this is Oyemerin's biggest weakness.
Oyemerin is an alchemist...
Everyone knows that the resources consumed by cultivating an alchemist are simply astronomical. Especially for a master like Oyemerin, who is completely a resource-stacked master, the resources consumed can be described as horror. It can be said that Oyemerin's father, Thornemerin, has gained all the benefits in the Angry Flame Plane in recent years. All have been invested in Oyemerin. Now, the father and son cannot even get out 30 million gold coins, not to mention 30 million gold coins...
This is also the real reason why Oyemerin wants to invest in the Gilded Rose so much...
Oyemerin needed such a machine that specializes in minting gold coins.
Unfortunately, that Mafameilin is too ignorant...
"In short, the financial situation of the Merlin family no longer allows too much reinforcement to the Angry Flame plane, so my personal opinion is that reinforcement can be done, but it is controlled within five million gold coins. For more, we can only wait until the financial situation of the Merlin family improves..."
"Address!"
"Address!"
...
After Regon Melin made a summary, six or seven elders soon expressed their support, all of whom were surrounded by Regon Melin before, and it was obvious that they were in the same camp as Regon.
"Elders, I believe I don't need to say anything more about the Angry Flame Plane. Everyone knows better than me. I just want to say that now, all the forces in Auckland are fighting for the Angry Flame Plane. It can be said that in the next three hundred years, whoever masters the Angry Flame Plane can become the first force in Auckland. Now, my father takes the plane legion to fight hard on the Angry Flame Plane. He is struggling to withstand the fierce attacks of the Angry Flame Orcs. What he wants now is only some support from the family, 30 million gold coins. Where can the family save a province? Can't they really take out these 30 million gold coins? You must know that these 30 million gold coins will ensure that the Merlin family will not fall behind in the competition for the Angry Flame Plane, and will retain a trace of hope for the Merlin family to compete for the Auckland first force. Think carefully, is it worth spending these 30 million gold coins..."
Oyemerin's words obviously resonated with some elders...
So, the Presbyterian Church began to become lively.
Except for Rosmelin and Lyon Melin abstaining from the power, the remaining fourteen elders were completely divided into two factions, and they argued endlessly about whether the military expenditure of these 30 million gold coins should be spent...
Lin Yun has opened his eyes...
The solemn and sacred Presbyterian Church has completely become a vegetable market. The elders who are usually dressed in a hypocritical manner have become bargaining aunties and vendors. For the military expenses of the 30 million gold coins, they rolled up their sleeves and spitted, and they quarreled...
A full hour...
The quarrel lasted for an entire hour.
In the end, no one can convince the other party.
"Okay, this issue is temporarily put on hold..." After an hour, Hofland, the head of the family who had been rubbing his temples, finally couldn't help it. He took a chance to drink water and breathe, and inserted a sentence.
No one objected to this decision...
Because everyone knows that if you continue to argue like this, it is impossible to get any result. After all, no one has ever been sure to suppress the other party, unless Hofland can come forward and let him use the authority of the family to make the final decision.
but……
No one would do that.
Even when the quarrel was the most intense, Regon Melin and Oye Melin both tacitly did not invite Hofland to come forward. This is the most basic tacit understanding of the Presbyterian Church. Whoever violates it will be excluded by the entire Presbyterian Church, because once Hofland comes forward, it means that he has the opportunity to intervene in the Presbyterian Church...
This is not a matter of 30 million gold coins or 50 million gold coins...
So, a quarrel issue was put on hold in this tacit understanding...
Hofland also knew what both sides thought, so after sighing, he mentioned the second issue: "The next one is the second issue. The thirteen elders jointly proposed that Mafa Meilin of Qianfan City is too young, has insufficient experience, and has certain lack of ability, and is not enough to manage the gilded rose alone. Therefore, it is suggested that Mafa Meilin hand over the management rights of the gilded rose first, and the Melin family presbyterians will be managed for a period of time. When Mafa Meilin is truly mature, then hand it over to his hands again. What do you think?"
This time, the family meeting room was surprisingly quiet.
All the elders sat on their seats, and no one discussed with others anymore, because there was no need to discuss it anymore. This was the decision of the entire Presbyterian Church...
"I agree." Regon Melin stood up again: "First of all, I want to make a statement, Mafa Melin, the reason why I agree is not that I personally have any dissatisfaction with you, but for the interests of the entire Melin family. You are only in your twenties now, and you are really too young. When you are so old, you are still worried about thousands of gold coins, and you have mastered the gilded rose and have a huge wealth..."
Speaking of this, Regon Merlin changed the topic: "But you don't have the ability to use this wealth. Just look at what you did in Oakland during this period. More than a month ago, you spent a total of 37 million gold coins at the auction of the Black Horn Chamber of Commerce to buy several magic materials, especially the last star gem. You spent a total of 20 million gold coins to fight against Hansen and Charlotte of the Charlotte family. After hearing the first topic, you should know what 20 million gold coins mean to the Merlin family, which means a large amount of equipment, a large number of warriors, and the plane legion far away in the Rage Flame plane can survive the fierce attack of the Rage Flame orcs..."
"Yes." Oye Melin, who had a big argument with Regon Melin, seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness before at this time, nodded with a smile and expressed support for Regon Melin's words...
"Haha, look, Oye is not much older than you, but he is much more mature and sensible than you. Mafameilin, you should really think about whether the 20 million gold coins spent to fight against Hansen and Charlotte are worth it? To be honest, I think with your personality, it is really not enough to control the gold-plated roses, so I personally agree with the opinion of the Presbyterian Church. First, the Presbyterian Church manages the gold-plated roses for a while, and when you are truly mature and sensible, and you will truly consider the interests of the Merlin family, then hand the gold-plated roses back to your hands..."
"Address!"
"Address!"
"Address!"
...
This time, it was much more lively than the first topic. As soon as the words of Regon Melin fell, fourteen of the remaining sixteen elders of the Melin family raised their hands to express their agreement.
The remaining two...
One is Rosmelin, the other is Lyon Merlin...
Needless to say, Rosmelin is now in the same camp as Lin Yun. As for Lyon Merlin, it is because he is afraid...
In fact, after the second issue was raised, Lyon Merlin's face became paler...
Because Lyon Merlin has heard it...
It turned out that this Mafameilin was the family's son who was repeatedly persuaded by the head of the Hofland family some time ago and recalled it from outside...
When Lyon Merlin thought of this, he wanted to scold her...
Master, Master, are you old and blind? Is it not good to recall someone? How could you recall this bastard? You are going to cause big trouble for the Merlin family...
And, this is not the worst.
What really made Lyon Merlin feel dark was that the first Presbyterian church he had attended in several months was to seize the gilded rose from this Mafamerlin.
You guys are fucking crazy!
Take the gilded rose from him. Do you think your life is too long or something? Do you want me to find a few ropes for you to hang it?
Damn, you are looking for death...
From beginning to end, Lyon Melin kept shaking. When Regon Melin asked everyone to vote, Lyon Melin became even more scared and wanted to get directly under the table. How could he raise his hand to agree?
Chapter completed!
