Mrs. Kellingman came back earlier than them, but her face was obviously not very good.

Seeing him coming back, he called him directly into the room and said solemnly: "Lei, does the early construction of the family territory require a lot of money?"

Ryan frowned and made an estimate and said: "That's for sure, everything on the border is in dire need, and I still have more than two hundred subordinates and their families who need to move and settle.

Coupled with hard expenses such as recruiting an army, the initial investment may be around a few thousand Kindler.

But don’t worry, mother. As far as I know, the kingdom has financial support for us, and it shouldn’t let our family go bankrupt.”

He thought Kelinman was worried about construction funds, so he couldn't help but offer words of comfort.

“Is a few thousand enough?”

Who knew that after hearing the news, her originally ugly face actually showed an expression of relief.

Before Ryan could speak, Kailinman said to himself: "I just went to get the inheritance your grandfather left me. The money was not much, and I was not worried enough. Now it seems that I am worrying too much. The family

Totally affordable.”

Ryan: "!!!"

He has always believed that although his family is rich, it is still better than the average baron family. Now it seems that he is superficial and has a small structure. These few thousand Kindlers are not a problem at all!

"How much money can the family afford in total now?" Ryan asked cautiously.

Kailinman thought for a while and said: "Originally there were only a few thousand kindlers, but after taking your grandfather's inheritance, I can now afford more than 10,000 kindlers."

"Hiss~" Ryan suddenly took a breath of cold air, obediently, he sat up in shock in his dying illness, the landlord is actually me?

Kindler's purchasing power is quite strong. One coin is enough for an ordinary family to cover all expenses for a year. Although the money is far from enough to invest in industrial construction, he does not always rest on his laurels.

As long as you have a certain amount of initial capital, you will have a source of income when the industrial behemoth starts to show its fangs. It will only be a matter of time before you reach break-even or even turn a profit!

"Lei, I have something to discuss with you." Kailinman seemed to suddenly think of something.

"We have all gone to the south. What should we do with our territory now? It won't work if there is no one to take care of it. The old housekeeper will definitely go to help you, but I don't worry about the others."

This is a problem. After careful consideration, Ryan said: "According to the laws of the kingdom, I can definitely sell this land."

"Sell it? But, this is the land passed down by your grandfather..." Kailinman suddenly felt a little entangled. In her concept, nothing is more important than land. If there is, then it can only be bigger.

a piece of land.

Ryan had his own considerations in mind. He explained: "Mother, from now on, the southern border will be the foundation of the family. The southern border is so far apart from the central part, and this land will become an enclave.

At that time, it will be necessary to allocate energy and send people to take care of it, which is completely useless. It is better to sell it to the royal family in exchange for real things to build the family territory."

"Even so, why should we sell to the royal family? If we sell it to other nobles, they will definitely be willing to offer much better terms than the royal family."

Kelinman was a little puzzled. Selling it to the royal family was a completely loss-making transaction from a businessman's point of view. After all, the territory was quite large.

She is the daughter of a businessman, so she looks at certain things in a utilitarian way, as long as the benefits are great. But Ryan's perspective is different. The early construction of the border territory actually relies heavily on the support of the royal family.

Putting aside those big nobles or their vassals, although families like Black have some money, territory construction cannot be solved by money alone.

Ryan wants to use this territory in exchange for something more useful than money!

For example, various craftsmen, serfs, some weapons manufacturing blueprints, strategic materials, etc. Although most of these things can be provided by the great nobles, some of them can only be provided by the royal family.

For example, the magic crystal is the only source of power that Ryan currently has. During this period, he also tried to find channels to purchase it.

But he found that the difficulty was very high, and the prices on the black market were beyond his affordability. However, the royal family did not lack these things, so it should be no problem to exchange some of them.

Furthermore, he set his sights on the long-distance communication device called the "Sound Ball" controlled by the royal family. He knew very well what the speed of communication meant, and it was very necessary.

Kailinman is not stupid. She understood as soon as Ryan explained it, and immediately said without hesitation: "Then let's do it. You will make a list when the time comes, and I will arrange it."

"As you command, Mother." After the two discussed some details, Ryan saw that it was still early, so he planned to go to the largest library in the royal capital.

Knowledge is precious in this world, and even a family with a small amount of wealth like Lane doesn't actually have many books at home.

Although there are places that sell books, the prices are extremely high, and because of the thickness of the animal skin paper, there is not much content in a book.

Only great nobles would have books covering a wide range of topics, which were very precious heritage and wealth.

Ryan wants to know more about the land beneath his feet, and books are undoubtedly a good place to get information.

In terms of the richness of the collection of books, the library located in the Royal Capital Magic Academy is undoubtedly the number one in the entire Tistan Kingdom!

And it's very Ginkgo-like. As long as you pay, you can go in and read open books. If you want to read books that are not open to the public, you have to pay extra, and you have to pay extra for the book.

This time, Ryan has become a lone ranger. Neither Allen nor Dele is interested in this. Susan is teaching Amy how to use her abilities, and Kelly Mann is asking him to bring more money...

Walking along the bustling avenue, according to the directions of the road signs, Ryan saw a building with a blue spire in the distance.

The architectural style like a spire stands out among the domes.

That is the Kingdom Academy of Magic, the only academy in the Kingdom of Tistan that only recruits magicians. It can be said that it is filled with nobles and is filled with the atmosphere of money and magic.

After expressing his intention to come to the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper said that he needed to pay a fee of one kindler, which was regarded as a ticket to enter the college.

Ryan swears to God, he has never seen such a dark place!

That's not all. After entering the academy, if you want to enter the library, you still need to pay ten kindlers, and this is only for reading until eight o'clock tonight, and no borrowing is allowed.

After reluctantly paying ten kindlers, Ryan was able to enter this magnificent library. The densely packed animal skin books inside dazzled Ryan's eyes for a while.

"Where should we start?" Ryan felt like he was in a sea of ​​books for a while, and his claws were numb for a while.
Chapter completed!
