Chapter 296 The Hereditary Earl

Although Yi Liya's activity made everyone laugh, but the atmosphere of the dinner mobilized her, and everyone no longer felt restrained, and chatted freely.

About the grand festival of glory...

About the activities of Datang Chamber of Commerce...

About the scenery in the elves...

At this moment, Victor raised his glass to Tang En and said with a smile, "Baron Tang En, can the things we agreed to be put on the agenda?"

Tang En was startled: "What's the appointment?"

"..."

Victor was helpless: "The combine harvester..."

"oh!"

Tang En suddenly realized: "How much do you want—wait a minute, Fiona, do we still have redundant production capacity?"

Fiona took out the notebook and quickly flipped through a few pages, and then said: "The main production line is still fully producing the previous orders of the Kadir family. According to the current production speed, it will take more than a month to complete the order. If Your Majesty is not in a hurry If so, we can arrange a small number of combine harvesters to be used temporarily."

"How much is a small amount?"

"Within one hundred units, the production can be completed within a week."

"What do you think? If necessary, I can give you a preferential price."

Tang En said with a smile: "The original price is one million, and I can give you a 20% discount."

Fiona didn't say anything this time, after all, the client is His Majesty Victor...

Victor smiled bitterly: "I don't have that much spare money."

"Are you kidding me? You're the king!"

"I'm also the poorest king. Even if Olina's private property is taken out, it's not enough to spend. Do you know how much it costs to raise an army? Even if they don't do anything, just the daily food expenses can Eat up a few small families."

Victor sighed: "Otherwise, I wouldn't place my hopes on the crystal energy plan you mentioned."

Fiona asked suddenly, "Do you really need a combine harvester?"

"Of course, I have heard about the harvesting efficiency of the combine harvester. If necessary, I even want to promote it across the country."

Fiona's eyes flashed brightly: "If this is the case, then let's carry out another property exchange."

"Property exchange? You mean..."

"We provide you with the combine harvester for free, but you have to give us a corresponding tax reduction policy."

Fiona said calmly: "According to the laws of the empire, the tax that the lord should pay so far is about 850,000 gold coins—"

"Why so many!?"

Tang En was stunned, and Victor was also stunned: "So many!?"

It's no wonder that Victor was surprised. When Dunn went to Ellington, Ellington was very poor, and the taxes paid by the previous acting lords were only about 10,000 gold coins a year!

He has only been there for a few months, and Ellington's production value has doubled dozens of times! ?

"Of course there are so many."

Fiona smiled wryly, "My lord, haven't you calculated how much income you have?"

"No."

Tang En said casually: "I've left it to you to take care of this. I haven't paid attention to it."

Victor immediately looked at Fiona with admiration. To be trusted by Tang En so much, it is really not easy for the descendant of the Golden Rose family.

"My lord, we have indeed earned a lot of gold coins."

Fiona said noncommittally: "But it costs more gold coins. You may not know that in order to build Ellington, we used almost all the gold coins we earned to buy various materials, so we will spend more gold coins in just a short time." In a matter of months, Ellington has changed dramatically."

"It is no exaggeration to say that Ellington's monthly per capita net income has reached more than ten gold coins, and the cohesion of the residents is very strong, and they also support the Lord's rule, but this is based on the Lord's great efforts. Under the circumstances of spending money on construction."

"Right now in Ellington, the vault is practically empty."

After a pause, Fiona continued: "So if your majesty wants to get tax gold coins from Ellington, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

disappointment? Victor certainly did not disappoint!

Tang En can develop in the poor place of Ellington, doesn't this just show that he is the child of destiny?

"Therefore, based on the fact that Ellington is unable to pay taxes smoothly, and your majesty has demand for our products, I suggest that your majesty accept this win-win solution—mortgage the tax payable by the products of the Datang Chamber of Commerce .”

"Our Datang Chamber of Commerce not only has a combine harvester, but also a series of products such as magic cultivator, magic irrigation machine, etc. If your majesty is willing to learn more, I will leave you a full set of introduction materials later, and at the same time We are also happy to continue to accept tax payments as product collateral.”

After Fiona finished speaking eloquently, she suddenly froze, her face flushed slightly, she picked up her wine glass to cover it up, and accidentally entered the sales state...

Victor was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and said to Tang En, "Baron Tang En, you have found a very good treasurer... If I have her help, maybe the royal family's property will turn around."

"Fiona is indeed one of my best helpers."

Tang En said with a smile: "Then what do you think?"

"sure!"

Victor raised his glass and said with a smile: "There is no more suitable transaction method than this, and then sign the contract."

This transaction method is also a helpless move. Tang En's Datang Chamber of Commerce is indeed very profitable now. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is making money every day, but it cannot stand the high cost. Victor also needs gold coins, but those products are indeed more important. , not only can liberate agricultural productivity, increase production efficiency, reduce food pressure in disguise, but also help expand the market for magic crystals.

Don't forget, Tang En and Victor's first goal is still the Crystal Energy Project!

After popularizing more magic energy machines and even satisfying domestic demand, continue to export to other countries and continue to expand the market, so that everyone is aware of the vast market for magic power crystals, and the price of magic power crystals that are at a low point will be raised again. They will no longer have to worry about gold coins in the magic crystal mine.

After drinking for three rounds, Victor suddenly said: "Baron Tang En, in view of your great contribution to the empire, I would like to promote you as a hereditary earl, what do you think?"

Princess Aurelia was immediately stunned when she heard the words, her face full of disbelief.

Promoted directly from a baron to a hereditary earl?

Father, what does this mean? Drank too much?

Aubrey, Adrian, and Princess Aurelia all felt the same way, and almost spit out the wine in their mouths.

Hereditary titles are different from ordinary noble titles. The two are not the same concept at all. Obtaining hereditary nobility means that as long as the empire is not destroyed, Tang En and his descendants will be able to obtain nobles recognized by the royal family no matter how useless they are. glory and power.

Why on earth did Victor trust him so much?

Even give him so much freedom?

Parola, who was always smiling, looked at Victor in surprise, unable to figure out what was wrong with her younger brother.

It has been more than 800 years since the founding of the Illus Empire, and there are only a dozen or so hereditary nobles, and almost all of them were the founding heroes of the year.

From Victor's succession to the present, he has never conferred any hereditary nobility, which shows how special the hereditary nobility is.

What happened to him today? Why did you suddenly think of conferring a hereditary nobility?

What is so special about Twain that deserves his attention?

Tang En shrugged: "It doesn't matter."

Seeing his indifference, Alleria gritted her teeth angrily. Doesn't this guy know what a great honor this is! ?

It can be said that once this news gets out, Twain will become the hottest nova star in Yalinx in the blink of an eye!

Everyone knows what hereditary nobility means—ordinary noble status will be deprived, but once hereditary noble status is recognized, it will be permanently valid.

Unless you're stupid enough to treason.

It's such a special honor, yet he doesn't care so much?

Alleria wished she could strangle this ignorant bastard to death!

"Since that's the case, then it's decided!"

Victor smiled and said: "Baron Dunn... no, it should be Earl Tang En who has contributed to the empire, and should actually be worthy of a higher status, but in order to silence those people, let's take it slowly Better."

Alleria opened her mouth wide, she lost all the elegance of a princess.

Parola, Olina, Aubrey, Adrian and others were also dumbfounded.

According to Victor, it is not enough to give Tang En the hereditary earl, and he still wants to promote him! ?

Even if you trust him very much, this is too exaggerated! ?

They didn't know that Victor was actually worried that Dunn would refuse!

If he hadn't been worried that he would be dismissed by other people if he promoted too much at once, he would have wanted to promote Tang En to the status of a hereditary duke or even a hereditary prince, so as to tie this son of destiny and the royal family of Irrus firmly on the same line. on the front.

"I have nothing to say."

Tang En still looked like he didn't care.

So Alleria was even angrier.

Perhaps Victor also noticed that what he did was a bit too exaggerated, so he had an idea and explained: "You may not have noticed how great the credit of Earl Dunn is. The appearance of the combine harvester has made the empire's agriculture advance. It’s not just a big step forward, the great increase in harvesting efficiency can promote the expansion of the cultivated area, and the grain output will be even greater.”

"The increase in food production not only solves the hunger problem of the residents of the empire, but also solves the food problem of the army on the other hand, and improves the combat power of the army in a disguised form-this is only the role of the combine harvester, let alone the Tang Dynasty. Earl En has also developed other agricultural magic machines, and I believe that all of them, without exception, can greatly improve agricultural production capacity."

"With the help of Earl Tang En, our Illus Empire will definitely change its decline and rise again."

Victor didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was obvious. Dunn, and the magic machine he developed, would completely change the weak position of the Illus Empire in Prandal, and even regain its dominant position. No problem!
