Chapter 31 (2/2)
”It's true!”
Tina said hurriedly, ”the Lord just said it himself!”
Marlene was surprised: ”what!?”
”Really?”
”Oh, my God! Tina, you're so lucky!”
”Yes, so your salary can be increased by five gold coins...”
”What do you know? What's a salary increase of five gold coins? Marlene talked to the Lord. That's the most important!”
A group of maids chattered and discussed, and Tina was at a loss.
Marlene came up, took her hand and said happily, ”Tina, Congratulations! Don't make us too tired when you become the maid manager!”
Tina said hurriedly, ”when, of course...”
”But how could the Lord let Tina become the maid manager so casually? Does he have a crush on Tina?”
”Are you kidding? Although Tina is beautiful, Miss Fiona is more beautiful. She is like an angel!”
”Miss Fiona and the Lord are obviously not lovers. Neither of them lives in the same room!”
”What do you know? It's called fun. It means that the Lord can play.”
”Is Fiona beautiful? Not necessarily. Elsa is no worse than her.”
”Elsa is very beautiful, but don't forget her strength. Which man can stand her? If you make love with your legs and don't break the man's waist?”
The maids who knew about men and women suddenly giggled and looked at Tina vaguely: ”Tina, if the Lord really likes you, don't miss this good opportunity. The Lord is much better than that fool Hogg.”
Tina was even more embarrassed. She wanted to ask them for help to see what to do at night, but now she gave up the idea.
After a quick dinner, Tina returned to her room and threw herself on the bed.
What should I do?
Tina pressed her chest. She could feel her heart beating very fast.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally got up and went to the bathroom
The girl's wonderful misunderstanding aside, another ”war” is breaking out here.
”Why don't you eat? Why are you staring at me?”
Donne raised his head and looked at Fiona inexplicably. He was really hungry. Even if prandal's food was not used to it, he felt very delicious at the moment.
But no matter how delicious the dinner is, you can't eat it if you stare at you.
”I went to see Brian this afternoon.”
Fiona was very angry and said angrily, ”you've made a decision again, haven't you?”
Donne wiped his mouth. ”What do you mean?”
”Agricultural tool innovation, consumption of iron ore, not to mention, what's the matter with the agricultural subsidy you told them?”
Fiona's silver teeth creaked and stared at Donne's arm, eager to take a bite.
Damn it, I knew Brian's big mouth was unreliable!
Donne took it for granted: ”as the name suggests, agricultural subsidies.”
”What, as the name suggests!”
Fiona sighed: ”throughout the Empire and even other countries, I have never heard of any agricultural subsidies! You really feel that the Lord's house has too much money to spend, so you change ways to spend money, don't you?”
Donne's face was positive: ”of course not. There are many places to spend money. We must increase revenue and reduce expenditure.”
”You know there are many places to spend money?”
Fiona curled her lips: ”then tell me what this agricultural subsidy is.”
”It's very simple. Hogg plundered too much wealth from here, and part of these wealth is in our hands. Now what I have to do is to return these wealth to them bit by bit. Only when the gold coins are circulated can they produce value. It's meaningless to pile them in the vault.”
Donne's expression was serious. He wasn't kidding, and Fiona listened carefully.
”The most critical point is that the farmers in Ellington can no longer afford the risk. The successive years of looting by mountain bandits have pushed them to the limit. Now what I have to do is to let them release the pressure in their hearts.”
”Agricultural subsidies, 1232 farmers, each subsidized a gold coin, but only more than 1000 gold coins. It's nothing, but the value of these gold coins far exceeds the value of the gold coins themselves.”
”These gold coins can rekindle their hope of life, give them more power to cultivate the land and bring us more food.”
”More importantly, with these gold coins, they can buy iron agricultural tools. With new agricultural tools, they can cultivate more efficiently and improve grain production. Needless to say, after the efficiency is improved, they have more time, and their activities in Ellington can produce more added economic value.”
Donne smiled: ”now, do you still think the more than 1000 gold coins are not worth it?”
Fiona is stunned!
