Chapter 32 (1/2)

Although she repeatedly raised her evaluation of Donne, Fiona found that she underestimated him.

Donne is not only a mysterious and powerful magician, he even really knows how to govern a territory!

Fiona was not unaware of the benefits of the agricultural subsidy he released, but there was no such precedent in the Empire. When Donne suddenly did so, Fiona felt at a loss.

There will be an agricultural subsidy today. Will there be a commercial subsidy tomorrow? Will there be another adventurer subsidy the day after tomorrow?

All the money spent is golden gold coins!

Fiona felt that Donne was simply challenging the bottom line of being a ruler!

”I know the value of this gold coin, but - why don't you discuss it with me?”

”Ah?”

”I'm the treasurer now! Or did you admit it yourself!” Fiona was angry. ”But now? It's clearly the policy of spending gold coins, but you decided it yourself without consulting me. In that case, what's the use of me as a treasurer?”

With that, Fiona angrily hugged her arm and turned away. As long as she wasn't a fool, she could see that she was making a little temper.

Donne laughed. That's the problem.

”You are blaming me for not discussing with you.”

”No!”

”Yes.”

”Just not!”

I won't admit it!

Donne said with a smile: ”I'm not asking Brian and Edgar to keep it a secret. I haven't decided on specific policy ideas yet. I'll discuss with you later. For example, whether the subsidies are directly distributed to farmers or offset by price reduction in Edgar. There are many details, which depend on you to improve.”

Fiona couldn't help but rejoice when she heard this. It wasn't that she didn't discuss with herself, but it wasn't time yet.

Donne noticed the joy on Fiona's face and said with a smile, ”aren't you angry?”

”Angry! Very angry!”

Fiona felt a little blushing and hurried up: ”I'll have a rest first!”

”Go.”

Don shrugged and went on eating.

As mentioned before, Ellington is a very backward town. There is no public lighting and no evening entertainment measures. People here basically go to bed with their wives and children after dinner at night. Martial artists continue to exercise and rest for a while, which makes Donne very uncomfortable.

However, there is no way. For Ellington residents, lighting at night requires candles, and a candle also requires ten copper coins. In their eyes, these are additional expenses, which can be saved.

Most lighting areas of the Lord's residence also use candles and torches, and only a few use magic lamps. Donne has seen that the energy efficiency ratio of this magic lamp is very low. It directly consumes magic crystal to maintain the lighting array for lighting, and does not improve the energy consumption through careful design.

Even so, the value and consumption of magic lamps can only be enjoyed by nobles, and civilians don't have to look at them at all.

Back in the bedroom, Donne couldn't sleep. He simply got up again, put down a silent magic array and began to beat up the cutting machine.

Compared with the stamping machine, the principle of the cutting machine is actually simpler, even without considering the power factor.

However, the goal that Donne wants to achieve is to be able to cut at least the level of steel, which is of practical value. The direct air system spell is difficult to achieve. In the end, it is still necessary to consider the high hardness tool.

Finally, Donne chose to use refined gold to make the head - there were some leftover materials left before making the hammer, and only a small part of the head was needed.

After the conversion of ideas, Donne's efficiency was much faster. He roughly made the parts of the cutting machine according to his impression, leaving only the main part. Just after the stamping machine is finished, he can experiment with the stamping machine.

But after doing this, Donne couldn't sleep. He always felt as if he had missed something very basic but also very important.

When he saw the finished part interface, he suddenly woke up.

”Mom, forget this!”

As soon as Donne patted his forehead, he hurried up and began to be busy.

He wants to make a ruler.

Yes, prandal does not have a unified measure.

Prandal here, all countries have different measurement systems. If Donne wants to choose to use the standards here, he will certainly encounter many problems in the future, so he decided to re formulate a set of measurement system himself.

Donne plans to use the units on earth, but it is obviously impossible for him to accurately measure the specific values. In fact, even the current international standard units on earth are not absolutely accurate, but are increasingly revised with the improvement of measurement level - but as long as the error is within the allowable range, it is no problem to use them.

”One meter long... Um...”

Donne looked left and right. Finally, his eyes fell on the ground and suddenly smiled: ”well, I'll learn from the British, too.”

Donne took a step at will. An Austrian gold ingot hung in the air next to him. He began to stretch according to his stride. After stretching to a certain extent, a row of very accurate scales appeared on it. The distance between each large scale was equal, and the total length distance was just the length of Donne's step.
