Chapter 458 Victor’s Illegitimate Son? (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!)
Alexis, the royal palace.
"Is this a summary of Ellington's recent changes?"
There was a thick pile of documents placed in front of Victor, which recorded all the changes in Ellington from the time Tang En arrived at Ellington to the present. Normally, you can't feel it through the report bit by bit, but once these are put into When everything is put together, it looks quite scary.
In just half a year, Ellington went from a small town with a per capita monthly income of less than 50 silver coins to a city with a monthly income of more than 10 gold coins per person. The per capita income increased twenty times!
Per capita income is only one aspect. In addition to income, Ellington's earth-shaking re-planning and construction, as well as the new magic machinery launched by Datang Chamber of Commerce every now and then, have brought Ellington huge wealth. Now Ellington every month The flow of gold coins exceeds tens of millions!
What is this concept? In other words, in just half a year, the liquidity of one Ellington alone has exceeded the annual fiscal revenue of the Illus Empire!
Although the working capital does not reflect the actual profits, several previous conversations with Tang En made Victor very sure that the profits of these magic machines are very considerable, even so rich that it makes people Yang Hong!
At present, many chambers of commerce have purchased the patent license of Datang Chamber of Commerce and begun to study imitation of those magic machines. Once their products are on the market, every time they sell a product, they will bring a part of the profit to Datang Chamber of Commerce. After forming a scale, Even if Tang En is lying down at home, gold coins will continue to flow into the Star Diamond Bank account.
What interests Victor the most is the fact that after Ellington hired elemental creatures, the construction efficiency doubled.
No one has ever thought of hiring elemental creatures before, or even done it - only magicians can simply communicate with elemental creatures, and magicians are all concentrated in the City of Silver.
The magic servants summoned by the magicians can only help them with some auxiliary work, and cannot do complex construction work at all.
How did Tang En do it? Is this also the ability given to him by the gods?
In addition, before the winter, Ellington once encountered a food crisis. When a large amount of food was stopped on the market, Tang En used his good relationship with the elves to obtain the support of the druids. In a very short period of time, A large amount of food was produced over time, allowing Ellington to survive the cold winter safely, and no one died of starvation. This is simply incredible!
Not only were the druids of the elves willing to help him, but no one had starved to death or frozen to death throughout the winter!
Including homeless people on the street!
Although the report stated that there were no homeless people in Ellington, Victor did not believe it. There would be wealth disparity in every city in any country, and homeless people were at the bottom of society, so it was impossible to completely eliminate them.
In another document next to it, the reports returned from various cities in the Illus Empire this winter showed that the number of people who had starved to death and frozen to death this winter was currently more than 15,000, based on vague statistics.
And this is already the lowest in history - because there were no deaths on Ellington's side, it lowered the average.
"It's breathtaking, it's really breathtaking!"
Victor sighed: "Besides him, I'm afraid no one else can do this."
"This must be admitted."
Even if Alleria is very dissatisfied with Tang En, she must admit now that he is really capable.
No one in the past would have done better than him, no, not even one thousandth of him.
At least Alleria thought that she didn't have the face to ask the elven druids to come forward to help increase food production.
Victor heard Alleria's words, smiled slightly, and suddenly said: "How about you go to Ellington."
"I...huh?"
Alleria was suddenly stunned and stared at Victor: "Why do you want me to go next to that bastard? Didn't you see what he did to me!?"
Victor laughed and said, "That's because he doesn't know Ye Ge is you. Of course, he should be more ruthless when dealing with unknown enemies. From this point of view, he actually did the right thing."
"Father!"
Alleria stamped her feet angrily: "I am your daughter! You are actually helping an outsider!?"
"No!"
Victor said very seriously: "Twain is not an outsider. In fact, you can see that he is very important to me, to you, and even to the entire Illrus Empire. Our Illrus Empire Whether or not we can rise again depends entirely on him.”
Alleria was very dissatisfied: "If my brother hears you say this, I'm afraid he will think that you want him to be your successor!"
Victor sighed: "You think I don't want to? To be honest, he might not even be willing to be the king if I ask him to."
Seeing Alleria's eyes widen, Victor said hurriedly: "I just said it casually, don't say it nonsense, let your mother hear it, she will nag me again."
"You also know that you can't talk nonsense!"
Alleria rolled her eyes, her princess temperament gone: "Speaking of which, the recent rumors are not good."
Victor immediately became serious when he heard this: "What did you hear again?"
"Here."
Alleria took out a scroll from her pocket and placed it in front of Victor.
Victor took a rough look at it and immediately frowned: "Twain is my illegitimate son? Is he my default next heir? Princess Alleria voluntarily gave up her legal inheritance rights? What nonsense! Can we find out the source of the news? ?"
"It's difficult. It's all transmitted through an intermediary. The source can't be traced, but you can guess that it must be one of those guys."
Alleria shrugged: "You'd better think about how to explain it to my brother."
"Has the news reached over there?"
"What do you think about such important news?"
Victor suddenly had a headache: "This is trouble."
"Yes, with my brother's personality, if he knew this news, he would really have crazy thoughts."
Alleria shrugged: "How about you just issue a notice and establish a heir apparent first? To appease the people and my brother?"
"It would be nice if it was that simple. Establishing a heir apparent is not such a casual matter."
Victor sighed: "If nothing else, even Mr. Aubrey and Mr. Adrian have different ideas. Adrian is more inclined to support you. Don't tell me you don't know."
"Come on, let a female snitch be the queen. Are you crazy or is he crazy?"
Alleria curled her lips and said, "It's not right for me to think of myself as me. I've told him before that I support my brother's succession. I still like to be a free female cat burglar, sitting in the palace every day and not being able to go out." Don’t suffocate me to death.”
Victor laughed dumbly: "Are you afraid of taking on the responsibility of reviving Illrus?"
"That's right!"
Alleria admitted straightforwardly: "The country has been defeated like this now. It's too troublesome to rise again. I'd better leave this kind of thing to you ambitious men. I live my life freely. In addition, I'll leave this matter to you ambitious men. Let me just say that I have written to the Council of Nobles and the Holy See of Light to declare my renunciation of inheritance rights, and His Majesty the Pope has accepted it, and that news is true."
"How did you...well, your brother will be very lucky to have a sister like you, at least he won't kill each other."
Alleria corrected Victor very seriously: "No, no, no, he should be lucky that you are not a stallion and did not bear him so many brothers, otherwise sooner or later the blood will stain the throne red."
"The fight for the throne is something that has been unavoidable in all dynasties, but was it avoided because I didn't have time to hunt for women? I really have nothing to say."
Alleria rolled her eyes at him again: "It's not that you don't have time to hunt for women, you are obviously unwilling and courageous, and you are controlled by your mother."
Being choked by his daughter like this, Victor was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak. He hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Back to the original topic, you go to Ellington."
Alleria raised her eyebrows, slapped the table and said, "I'm not going! I hate that guy so much!"
"Oh? You hate him, so you drew a portrait of him in your room and practice throwing knives every day?"
Alleria blushed: "Hate! How did you know?"
"The maid found it while cleaning and told your mother."
Victor smiled bitterly and said, "There's no need to hate him so much, right?"
"Hate! Of course I hate it!"
Alleria gritted her teeth and said: "Since I was a child, no one has ever been able to humiliate me like that. Only him! Only him! I must take revenge!"
Victor said casually: "If you want revenge, wouldn't it be more convenient to go to him?"
Alleria's eyes lit up and her heart skipped a beat.
"What's more, I let you go so that you can learn from Ellington's development experience. If you go, for my sake, he won't let you idle, right? This kind of stealing from others There are not many opportunities. When the time comes to return to Yalinks, it all depends on you whether you want to assist your brother or if you want to live a carefree life."
Victor said with a smile: "Are you going?"
Alleria rolled her eyes: "I'll think about it."
"Don't think about it, I know your decision."
Victor waved his hand and said: "Go back and prepare things, but I have to remind you, don't always think about plotting against Tang En. He is not simple. You think those conspiracies and tricks will not have any effect on him, but they may. Make yourself suffer greatly."
"snort!"
Alleria obviously didn't believe it.
Victor gave a weird smile: "Revenge does not necessarily have to be that way. Sometimes, if you want to take revenge on someone, there are many ways you can use it, such as making lustful people no longer approach other women, making greedy people People who like to enjoy cannot make money, and people who like to enjoy cannot spend a single gold coin... This is all revenge."
Upon hearing this, Alleria glanced sideways at Victor and said, "I always feel that there is something in your words."
"Well, you can ask your mother about this. She is very experienced."
The embarrassed Victor didn't seem to want to mention this matter, and directly pushed Alleria to Olena.
Alleria smiled brightly: "I seem to know something... That's fine, you can continue your work."
Watching Princess Alleria leave the room, Victor suppressed his smile and stared at the scroll she left behind for a long time. After a moment, he sighed, took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter on the ink pad. After stamping his personal seal, he placed his hand on an inconspicuous pattern next to the desk.
"Master Clark, please help me send a letter to Gilad, thank you."
Although he didn't hear a reply, the envelope placed on the desk was suddenly swallowed up by a space vortex, and Victor looked complicated.
"Your Majesty! Urgent news!"
The guard presented a document. Victor glanced at it and suddenly showed a strange smile.
Fort Kasparmi sent troops to hunt down farmers who fled the territory without permission?
