Chapter 457 Victor's illegitimate child?
Yarinks, palace.
“Is this a summary of recent changes in Ellington?”
There was a thick stack of documents in front of Victor, which recorded all the changes in Ellington since Donn arrived in Ellington. It was not easy to report them little by little, but once all these things were summed up, it looked quite terrible.
In just half a year, Ellington has gone from a town with an average monthly income of less than 50 silver coins to a city where everyone earns more than ten gold coins per month, with an average per capita income of twenty times!
Per capita income is only one aspect. In addition to income, Ellington's earth-shaking re-planning and construction, and the new magic energy machinery launched by the Tang Chamber of Commerce every now and then, Ellington has not yet brought huge wealth. Now Ellington's monthly gold coins flow exceeds tens of millions!
What does this mean? In other words, in just half a year, liquidity will surpass the fiscal tax revenue of the Irrus Empire throughout the year!
Although liquidity cannot reflect actual profits, the previous conversations with Tang En made Victor very sure that the profits of these magical machinery are very considerable, even so rich that it makes people Yang Hong!
At present, many chambers of commerce have purchased patent authorization from the Datang Chamber of Commerce and began to study imitating those magical machinery. Once their products are on the market, every time they sell a product, they will bring some profits to the Datang Chamber of commerce. After forming a scale, even if Tang En lies at home, gold coins will flow into the account of Xingdian Bank.
What interested Victor the most was the fact that after Ellington hired elemental creatures, the construction efficiency increased exponentially.
No one has ever thought about hiring elemental creatures before, nor even done it - only magicians can have simple communication with elemental creatures, and magicians are all concentrated in the City of Silver.
The demon servants summoned by the magicians can only help them with some auxiliary work, and complex construction work cannot be done at all.
How did Tang En do it? Is this also the power given to him by the gods?
In addition, before the winter, Ellington encountered a food crisis. When the market stopped selling a large amount of food, Tangen used his good relationship with the elves to obtain support from the druids and increased the production of a large amount of food in a very short time, so that Ellington could safely survive the cold winter. No one starved to death. This was simply incredible!
It was not just the druids of the elves who were willing to help him, but the whole winter, no one was starved to death and frozen to death!
Including homeless people on the street!
Although the report shows that there are no homeless people in Ellington, Victor does not believe that there will be wealth gaps in any country and city. Homeless people are the bottom of society and cannot be completely eliminated.
In another document next to it, reports from various cities in the Irrus Empire this winter showed that the number of people starved to death and frozen to death in this winter has been vaguely counted, and there are currently more than 15,000 people.
And this is the least in history - because there are no dead people in Ellington, the average is lowered.
"It's amazing, it's amazing!"
Victor sighed: "No one else can do this except him."
"This must be admitted."
Even if Aurelia is very dissatisfied with Don Eun, she must admit now that he has real skills.
No one would have done anything better than him in the past, no, he could not even do one thousandth of him.
At least Aurelia thinks she doesn't have the face to let the elf druids come forward to help increase the production of food.
When Victor heard Aurelia's words, he smiled slightly and suddenly said, "Or, go to Ellington."
"I...ha?"
Aurelia was stunned and glared at Victor: "Why do you want me to go next to that bastard? Didn't you see what he did to me??"
Victor laughed: "That's because he didn't know Ye Ge was you. Of course, he had to be a little more ruthless when dealing with unidentified enemies. From this point of view, he actually did a good job."
"Father!"
Aurelia stomped her feet in anger: "I am your daughter! You are actually helping an outsider!?"
"No!"
Victor said very seriously: "Donn is not an outsider. In fact, you can see that he is very important to me, to you, and even to the entire Irrus Empire. Whether our Irrus Empire can rise again depends on him."
Aurelia was very dissatisfied: "If my brother heard you say this, I'm afraid you would think you wanted him to be the heir!"
Victor sighed: "Do you think I don't want to? To be honest, he may not be willing to let him be the king."
Seeing Aurelia's eyes widened, Victor hurriedly said, "I just said it casually. Don't talk nonsense. Let your mother hear it, and she should nag me again."
"You also know that you can't talk nonsense!"
Aurelia rolled her eyes, and the princess's temperament disappeared: "After that's it, the rumors in the market have not been very good recently."
When Victor heard this, he immediately became serious: "What did you hear again?"
"Here."
Aurelia took a scroll out of her pocket and placed it in front of Victor.
Victor looked roughly and frowned: "Don is my illegitimate son? Is my next heir appointed? Princess Aurelia voluntarily gave up the right of legal inheritance? It's really nonsense! Can you find the source of the news?"
"It's very difficult. They were all reported by the middleman. The source cannot be found, but you can guess that it must be one of those guys."
Aurelia shrugged: "You'd better think about how to explain to my brother."
"The news has reached there?"
"What do you want to do with such important news?"
Victor suddenly had a headache: "I'm in trouble now."
"Yes, my brother's personality, if he knew this news, he would be really thinking about it."
Aurelia shrugged: "Or why don't you just issue a notice and first establish the crown prince? To comfort the people and my brother?"
"It would be that simple. It's not such a casual matter to establish the crown prince."
Victor sighed: "If you don't say anything else, even Oberry and Adrien have their own different ideas. Adrien prefers to support you, don't tell me you don't know."
"Come on, let a female thief be the queen, are you crazy or is he crazy?"
Aurelia curled her lips and said, "I don't think I am. I told him before that I support my brother in succession. I still like to transform into a free female thief. I can't go out every day and I won't be suffocated to death."
Victor laughed in silence: "Are you afraid of taking responsibility for reviving Irrus?"
"That's right!"
Aurelia admitted frankly: "The country has been defeated like this now, and it is too troublesome to rise again. It is better to leave this kind of thing to you ambitious men. I live freely. In addition, I have written to the noble parliament and the Holy See of Light to announce that I have given up the inheritance right, and the Pope's crown has accepted it. That news is true."
"Why...well, your brother will be very glad to have a sister like you, at least not having to kill each other."
Aurelia corrected Victor's words very seriously: "No, no, no, he should be glad that you are not a stallion and did not give birth to so many brothers for him, otherwise sooner or later, blood will dye the throne red."
"A fight for the throne is something that has never been avoided in all dynasties. Instead, it is avoided because I don't have time to hunt for beauty? There is nothing to say."
Aurelia gave him a blank look: "It's not that you don't have time to hunt for beauty, you are obviously not brave enough to be controlled by your mother."
After being choked by his daughter like this, Victor was embarrassed and couldn't speak. He hurriedly changed the topic: "Go back to the topic at the beginning, go to Ellington."
Aurelia raised her eyebrows, slapped the table and said, "I won't go! I'm almost annoying that guy!"
"Oh? I hate him, so I painted a portrait of him in the room and practiced flying knives every day?"
Aurelia blushed: "Hate! How did you know?"
"I found it while cleaning the maid, and told your mother."
Victor smiled bitterly and said, "There is no need to hate him so much, right?"
"Hate! Of course hate!"
Aurelia gritted her teeth and said, "No one has ever been able to humiliate me like that since she was a child, only him! Only him! I must take revenge!"
Victor said casually: "If you want to take revenge, isn't it more convenient to go to him?"
Aurelia's eyes lit up and her heart beat.
"What's more, I asked you to go there to learn Ellington's development experience. If you go there, he won't let you stay idle for my sake, right? There are not many opportunities for stealing. When I go back to Yalinx, I want to assist your brother or live a leisurely life. It depends on yourself."
Victor smiled and said, "Are you going?"
Aurelia's eyes turned: "I'll think about it."
"Don't think about it, I know your decision."
Victor waved his hand and said, "Go back and prepare things, but I have to remind you, don't always think about plotting against Don Eun. He is not simple. If you think those conspiracies will not have any effect on him, but may cause you to suffer a great loss."
"snort!"
Aurelia obviously doesn't believe it.
Victor smiled strangely: "Revenge does not necessarily have to be used that method. Sometimes, there are many ways to avenge a person, such as making lustful people no longer approach other women, making money-greedy people unable to make money, and making people who like to enjoy cannot spend a gold coin... This is all revenge."
Upon hearing this, Aurelia glanced at Victor and said, "I always feel like there is something in your words."
"Well, you can ask your mother about this, she is very experienced."
The embarrassing Victor didn't seem to want to mention this matter more, and directly pushed Aurelia to Olina.
Aurelia smiled brightly: "I seem to know something... Then OK, you can keep busy."
Watching Princess Aurelia leave the room, Victor restrained his smile and stared at the scroll she left behind for a long time. After a moment, he sighed, took out the paper and pen to write a letter, and after stamping a private seal on the ink, he placed his hand on an inconspicuous pattern next to the desk.
"Master Clark, please send me a letter to Gillard, thank you."
Although he did not hear the reply, the envelope placed on the desk was suddenly swallowed up by a space vortex, Victor's face was complicated.
"Your Majesty! Urgent news!"
The guard submitted a document, and Victor glanced at it and immediately smiled strangely.
Fort Kaspami sent troops to search for farmers who fled the territory without authorization?
