Chapter 144 A Private Knight Order of No More Than Five People (Double Monthly Ticket Request)

Baron Feibolie was very satisfied with Charlotte's attitude and decided not to bully him. He announced on the top of the city wall: "Mr. Charlotte Mecklen, you have fought for the empire and made great contributions. You are promoted to the 32nd grade, second-level general affairs officer. His Majesty the Emperor has specially allowed you to form a private knight group of no more than five people. The registration period is until the moment you die."

Charlotte smiled slightly, performed an imperial salute, and took the document handed over by Baron Feber. He did not care much about being promoted again, as long as no one interfered, his promotion would be a natural outcome. However, he was greatly surprised and quite happy to be allowed to form a private knight order of no more than five people.

Only those with a professional rank of twenty-four or above are eligible to have a private knightly order. This kind of private knightly order is not a formal knightly order maintained by a great noble, but a private "assistant" hired by the empire for meritorious officials.

Charlotte was only a second-level common official of the 32nd grade, and was not qualified to have a private order of knights, so she needed a special decree from His Majesty the Emperor to grant her honor.

When you reach the 24th grade or above, commonly known as the insurmountable class, your salary will be locked and no matter how you get promoted, there will be no further salary increase.

This was portrayed as "clean" in the empire, and the rich and powerful had the same income as ordinary civil servants, but in fact, the income of positions above the 24th rank was not linked to salary.
For example, for those nobles who own private knight orders, the salary of each knight is the same as that of the master, but it will be paid directly into the hands of the master.

No one would give all the money that the empire gave to private knights to their own knights. Most of it would be withheld for themselves, and only a small amount would be given to the private knights.

In other words, it is a disguised way of increasing income.

The first thing Charlotte thought of was the three clever kittens she had raised. It was time to give them the status of knight.

How much money can you make from raising a cat?

To support a living person, even at the minimum wage, it would cost dozens of centimes!
Baron Fei Bolie was satisfied and said, "His Majesty the Emperor asked me to tell you that you should go to the front line and not stay in the Silver Pigeon Castle any longer. Leave this to me."

This statement was the Baron's selfish motive. He wanted to take charge of the Silver Pigeon Castle and certainly didn't want any knights to stay in his territory.

Charlotte didn't hesitate at all and said, "I'll leave right away!"

Belissa had been urging him for many days, and he didn't want to arrange a young and beautiful virgin for the High Priest Augsladin, so the correct thing to do was to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

The baron was very pleased with Charlotte's tact and said, "Since Ms. Charlotte Mecklen is anxious to go to the front, I will not try to keep her."

"The queen has also heard of your reputation, so she granted you a manor. Here is the title deed."

In the Fars Empire, it has become a "custom" throughout the empire for the central office to promote positions, the emperor to bestow honors, and the empress to bestow wealth.

If Charlotte doesn't know what's good for her, Baron Feberelle is not afraid of confiscating her estate.

As for the Queen...

What a joke, the queen is his sister.

Charlotte agreed to leave Silver Pigeon Castle immediately, and he felt relieved for once.

Charlotte really kept her promise and immediately ordered the march, taking the Knights of Favonius and the Militia of Silver Pigeon Castle with her. She didn't even take any baggage with her. After all, everything that could be carried away had already been sent to Machupi, so there was no need to deliberately stand out in front of the Baron.

After sending Charlotte away, Baron Feibolie rubbed his hands, shouted excitedly, and went straight to the Pigeon Castle. He wanted to check how much property the previous Baron Phile had left. Although he heard that the Silver Pigeon Castle had been robbed once, the robbery could only take away the floating property. Could it also take away the shops and land? Every nobleman is a big landlord and the largest real estate owner in the area. Baron Feibolie's spending is far more than that of ordinary nobles, and he also hopes to make up for some of the deficit.

The nobles have money that can be spent.

There are many nobles who owe huge debts.

Butler Dart was holding the account book and wiping his sweat. When he heard that Baron Feberle had entered the Pigeon Castle, he led a group of servants to greet him.

The first thing Baron Fei Bolie asked was, "How much cash is left in Pigeon Castle?"

Butler Dart said tremblingly: "There is not a centime left. All of them were taken away by the damned Lady Nansela."

Baron Fei Bolie was well prepared. Although he felt sorry, he could still accept it. He asked again, "The magical items, luxury goods, carriages, and decorations in Pigeon Castle..."

Butler Dart replied in a low voice: "In the entire castle, only the house is still there. Even the furniture is gone. They were all taken away by the damned Lady Nansela."

Baron Feberlie could not help but marvel at it. He walked around the Pigeon Castle and found that everything was empty, not even the candlesticks were left.

He could only ask one last question: "Bring out all the deeds to Baron Fila's land!"

Butler Dart's heart was lifted up. Charlotte had thrown him to Machupi several times, and he had specially trained how to deal with this scene, but he still couldn't bear it. He said carefully: "Here is the account book."

After saying this, Butler Dart's whole body was soaked with sweat.

That was fear, panic, and "facing death with indifference." "It's like this anyway. Even if I'm hanged by the Baron, those properties are gone. They were all taken away by the damned Lady Nansela." Butler Dart thought secretly, "The Baron will at most kill me in a rage. It's better than falling into Mr. Mecklen's hands and being in a dilemma between life and death."

Baron Feberey took over the account book and saw mortgages, re-mortgages, loans, and more borrowings. The entire account book showed two words: no money.

After Charlotte moved into Pigeon Castle, she burned all the documents, forged a whole new set, and mortgaged Baron Filler's farm, shops, houses, manors and other real estate.

He even mortgaged the Colombon Castle for tens of thousands of écus. Of course, all the money he got from the mortgage went to the benefit of "the damned Madame Nanselas" and was all robbed.

Although Charlotte is a math teacher and not a real accountant, her accounts are still so well made that even an experienced accountant can find the flaws.

There was no such profession as accounting in the Old World, and even many professional knowledge in finance and economics had not appeared. Usually, nobles used butlers to manage their wealth. The average math level of butlers was just addition and subtraction, and multiplication and division were difficult for them. Their accounting methods and knowledge system were quite backward. They used these little tricks to fool the natives of the Old World, but he had centuries of knowledge to crush them.

Baron Fei Bolie's eyes darkened. He really didn't expect that Baron Fila would actually leave him such a mess. Not only did he not have any rich property to fill the financial hole, but he also had a huge debt! ?
Fei Bo was so angry that he threw the account book and cursed: "Baron Phile! He is nothing. How could he run a wealthy city like Silver Pigeon Castle into this state? The annual taxes alone are enough for him to live a life of luxury, so how could he owe such a large sum of money?"

"Damn Madam Nansela! They are bandits, real bandits..."

Louis Simi and Ross Bud did not follow Baron Feberle into the city, but followed Charlotte out of the Silver Pigeon Castle. Both of them were a little nervous.
