Chapter 459 (1/2)
Alex, the palace.
”Is this a summary of recent changes in Ellington?”
In front of Victor was a pile of thick documents, which recorded all the changes in Ellington since Donne arrived at Ellington. I can't feel the report bit by bit, but once these things are put together, it looks quite terrible.
In just half a year, Ellington has changed from a small town with an average monthly income of less than 50 silver coins to a city with a monthly income of more than 10 gold coins, and the per capita income has increased by 20 times!
Per capita income is only one aspect. In addition to income, the earth shaking re planning and construction of Ellington and the new magic energy machinery launched by Datang chamber of Commerce have not yet brought Ellington great wealth. Now Ellington's gold coins flow more than ten million per month!
What is this concept? In other words, in only half a year, the working capital of Ellington alone has exceeded the annual fiscal revenue of the ilrus empire!
Although the working capital can not reflect the actual profits, Victor was very sure of his previous conversations with Donne that the profits of these magic machines are very considerable, even rich enough to make people Yang Hong!
At present, many chambers of Commerce have purchased the patent authorization of Datang chamber of Commerce and began to study the imitation of those magic machines. Once their products are listed, every time they sell a product, they will bring some profits to Datang chamber of Commerce. After the scale is formed, even if Tang en lies at home, there will be a steady flow of gold coins into the account of Star Diamond bank.
The most interesting thing for Victor is that after Ellington hired elemental creatures, the construction efficiency has doubled.
Hiring elemental creatures has never been thought of or even done before - only magicians can simply communicate with elemental creatures, and magicians are all concentrated in the city of silver.
The magic servants summoned by magicians can only help them do some auxiliary work, and the complex construction work can't be done at all.
How did Donne do it? Is this also the power given to him by the gods?
In addition, before the winter, Ellington encountered a food crisis. When a large number of grain sales were stopped in the market, Donne used his good relationship with the elves to obtain the support of the Druids, and increased a large amount of grain in a very short time, so that Ellington could survive the cold winter safely, and no one starved to death. This is simply an incredible thing!
It was not only the Druids of the elves who were willing to help him, but all winter, no one starved and froze to death!
Including the tramps on the street!
Although the report shows that there are no tramps in Ellington, Victor doesn't believe it. There will be a wealth gap in any country or city. Tramps are the bottom of society and can't be completely eliminated.
In another document next to it, the reports fed back by the cities of the Ilus Empire this winter show that the number of people who died of starvation and freezing this winter has reached more than 15000 through fuzzy statistics.
And this is the least in years - because there are no dead people in Ellington, it lowers the average.
”Amazing, really amazing!”
Victor sighed, ”I'm afraid no one else can do it except him.”
”This must be admitted.”
Even if Aurelia is very dissatisfied with Donne, it must now be admitted that he has real skills.
No one would have done better than him in the past. No, not even one thousandth of him.
At least Aurelia thought she didn't have the face to let the Elf Druid come forward to help increase food.
Victor heard Aurelia's words, smiled and suddenly said, ”why don't you go to Ellington.”
”I... ha?”
Aurelia was stunned and stared at Victor: ”why should I go next to that bastard? Didn't you see what he did to me?”
Victor hit a ha ha: ”that's because he doesn't know that the night song is you. Of course, he should be cruel to unidentified enemies. From this point of view, he actually did it right.”
”Father!”
Aurelia stamped angrily: ”I'm your daughter! You helped an outsider!?”
”No!”
Victor said very seriously, ”Don is not an outsider. In fact, you can see that he is very important to me, to you, and even to the whole Ilus empire. Whether our Ilus empire can rise again depends on him.”
Aurelia was very dissatisfied: ”if my brother heard you say this, I'm afraid he thought you wanted him to be the successor!”
Victor sighed, ”do you think I don't want to? Seriously, he may not be willing to be king if I let him be king.”
Seeing Aurelia's wide eyes, Victor hurriedly said, ”that's what I said. Don't talk nonsense. Let your mother hear it. She should nag me again.”
”You know you can't talk nonsense!”
Aurelia rolled her eyes and the princess's temperament disappeared: ”anyway, the recent rumors are not very good.”
Victor immediately became serious when he heard the speech: ”what did you hear?”
”Here.”
Aurelia took a scroll out of her pocket and put it in front of victor.
Victor looked at it roughly, then frowned: ”Donne is my illegitimate son? Is he my next heir? Princess Aurelia voluntarily gives up her legal inheritance? What nonsense! Can you find the source of the information?”
”It's hard. It's all spread through the middleman. I can't find the source, but I 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?”
