Chapter 71 (2/2)
”That's right... This is also our biggest weakness in Ellington.”
Fiona scratched her hair in distress and said, ”although there are iron farm tools, many nearby farmers have surplus productivity, and the labor force begins to concentrate in Ellington, because the change in Ellington has not yet spread, we have no migrant population here, and it is difficult to absorb others here.”
”This is easy to say.”
Donne said casually, ”when the caravan starts, they will publicize Ellington along the way and advertise. As long as they work hard in Ellington, they can eat enough and even get salary and residence permit. I believe there must be many people willing to come here.”
Although prandal is now very peaceful, it is just an illusion. In fact, local disputes have never stopped, just like the battle between castle caspami and Ellington a while ago. Such wars are everywhere, so prandal is now full of refugees who can't eat enough.
”If it's really publicized like this, I'll have a headache about the lack of food... How many gold coins did you get from Baron duvier this time?”
Fiona suddenly remembered it and suddenly looked up at Donne. Her eyes were full of light, her face was excited and flushed. Seeing her, Donne felt strange.
”Not much... All the gold coins he got from selling ore have been sent to the emperor Kadir family. I robbed the vault of caspamiburg. There are about 200000 gold coins. I'll put them in the vault later.”
”More than 200000 gold coins!”
Fiona cheered, suddenly rushed out, hugged Donne and kissed him on the face: ”you are really the Savior of Ellington!”
Donne said proudly, ”of course.”
With that, Donne gently pushed Fiona away and said, ”with these gold coins, should it be enough to establish a chamber of Commerce?”
”Enough! Enough!”
Fiona blushed with excitement and turned around excitedly: ”with this gold coin, there are nearly 400000 gold coins in the vault. You can not only rebuild the chamber of Commerce, but also put your plan to rebuild Ellington on on the agenda.”
”Does it take so many gold coins to rebuild Ellington?”
”Of course! Rebuilding a town will cost more gold coins than you think. Whether it's the salary of labor, materials, materials, resettlement expenses, etc., all these need gold coins. Especially you, a kind Lord, like to sprinkle gold coins for everything, so you need so much budget... By the way, do you want to continue to sprinkle gold coins for the reconstruction of Ellington Are there any coins? ”
Donne stared at Fiona for a long time, trying to determine whether it was a coincidence or the chick said it on purpose
But I didn't see anything.
Donne said with a straight face, ”do you pick up money when I sprinkle it?”
Fiona was overjoyed: ”really? Of course I picked up coins!”
Well, I'm sure it's really a coincidence
Don said angrily, ”I only pay my salary and never sprinkle money!”
Fiona was impatient: ”what's the difference between your behavior and coin throwing?”
”Anyway, I don't scatter money... I don't scatter money or pick up money! I don't make sticks or sell swords!”
”Well, well, you are the Lord, you have your word!”
Fiona rolled her eyes, flipped a few pages, and said, ”in addition to Hilton and Thomas just mentioned, others have also come back. They are all capable men of the Golden Rose chamber of Commerce, so their salaries are higher than others...”
Donne waved his hand: ”don't tell me this. You can do it yourself. I just need to see the final result.”
Fiona originally wanted to report the salary expenses to Donne to let him know. Unexpectedly, Donne didn't care at all. Fiona didn't know whether she should be happy or helpless for this trust.
”OK, but don't worry, I won't use public power for private use.”
Fiona promised Donne, and then she said, ”but there's one thing you have to take care of even if you don't want to. It's up to you to decide.”
”Oh?”
Donne's spirit perked up: ”as long as you don't sprinkle money, what's the matter?”
”The name of the chamber of Commerce.”
”Name? Isn't it the Golden Rose chamber of Commerce?”
Fiona looked at Donne's confused face, moved and funny in her heart, because she could see that Donne really had no other ideas, just because she had said before, so she used this name.
”No, my Lord.”
Fiona calmed her mood and said seriously, ”although I want to use this name, it's no good.”
”First of all, the golden rose family no longer exists - maybe it will reproduce its glory with your strength in the future, but not now.”
”Secondly, this name will attract unnecessary enemies, and Lord, what you fear most is unnecessary trouble?”
”The third and most important point is that you are the owner of this chamber of Commerce, and I am just the one who started.”
”So?”
Donne thought for a moment and said casually, ”let's call it Datang chamber of Commerce.”
