Chapter 297

Although Elia's activity made everyone laugh, the atmosphere of the dinner party aroused her. Everyone no longer felt constrained and talked freely.

About the grand glorious sacrifice

About the activities of Datang chamber of Commerce

About the scenery in the elf family

Then Victor raised his glass to Donne and said with a smile, "Baron Donne, can we put our appointment on the agenda?"

Tang en was stunned: "what's the appointment?"

“……”

Victor was helpless: "combine..."

"Oh!"

Donne suddenly realized, "how much do you want - wait, Fiona, do we still have redundant capacity?"

Fiona took out her book, quickly turned a few pages, and then said, "the main production line is still in full production. 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, you can arrange a small number of combine harvesters for temporary use."

"How much does a small amount mean?"

"Within 100 units, production can be completed within a week."

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

Donne said with a smile, "the original price is one million. You can get a 20% discount."

Fiona didn't say anything this time. After all, the customer is his majesty Victor

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

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

"I'm also the poorest king. Even taking out OLINA's private property is not enough. Do you know how much it costs to raise the army? Even if they don't do anything, just the cost of eating every day can destroy several small families."

Victor sighed, "otherwise I wouldn't have pinned my hopes on your crystal energy plan."

Fiona suddenly asked, "do you need a combine very much?"

"Of course, I've heard about the harvesting efficiency of combine harvesters. If necessary, I even want to promote it all over the country."

Fiona's eyes flashed: "in that case, let's replace our property again."

"Property replacement? You mean..."

"We provide you with combine harvesters free of charge, but you have to give us the corresponding tax reduction policy."

Fiona said calmly, "according to the imperial law, up to now, the tax payable by the Lord is about 850000 gold coins -"

"Why so much?"

Donne was stunned, and Victor also looked stunned: "so much!?"

No wonder Victor was surprised. When Donne went to Ellington, Ellington was poor, and the previous acting lords paid only about 10000 gold coins a year!

He has only been there for a few months, and the output value of Ellington has increased dozens of times!?

"Of course so much."

Fiona said with a wry smile, "Lord, haven't you calculated how much income you have?"

"No."

Donne said casually, "you take care of this. I haven't noticed."

Victor was impressed by Fiona at that time. It was really not easy to be trusted by Donne, the last descendant of the golden rose family.

"Lord, we did earn a lot of gold coins."

Fiona said noncommittally, "but we spent 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 made earth shaking changes in Ellington in just a few months."

"To make no exaggeration, 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 spending money on construction."

"Now in Ellington, the vault is actually empty."

After a pause, Fiona continued, "so your majesty, if you want to get tax gold coins from Ellington, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

disappointment? Victor is certainly not disappointed!

Doesn't it mean that Donne is the son of destiny that he can develop in that broken place in Ellington?

"Therefore, based on the fact that Ellington is unable to pay taxes smoothly and your majesty needs our products, I suggest your majesty accept this win-win solution - mortgage the taxes payable with the products of Datang chamber of Commerce."

"We Datang chamber of commerce not only have combine harvesters, but also a series of products such as magic cultivator and magic irrigation machine. If your majesty is willing to know, I will leave you a full set of introduction materials later. At the same time, we are also happy to continue to accept the transaction of product mortgage tax."

Fiona said that with great ease, she was suddenly stunned. Her face was slightly red. She took up her glass and covered it up. She accidentally entered the sales state

Victor was stunned for a moment and turned to Donne and said, "Baron Donne, you have found a very good treasurer... If I have her help, maybe the Royal industry will turn a loss into a profit."

"Fiona is really one of my best helpers."

Donne said with a smile, "so what do you think?"

"Of course!"

Victor raised his glass and said with a smile, "there is no more suitable way to deal. Then sign the contract."

This kind of transaction is also a helpless move. Donne's Datang chamber of commerce is really making money now. It's not too much to say that it can make money every day, but it can't afford it. Victor also needs gold coins, but those products are more important. They can not only liberate agricultural productivity, increase production efficiency and reduce the pressure on food in disguise, but also help expand the market of magic crystal.

Don't forget that Donne and Victor's first goal is still the crystal energy plan!

After popularizing more magic energy machines and even meeting domestic demand, they will continue to export to other countries, continue to expand the market, make everyone aware of the broad market of magic crystal, and raise the low price of magic crystal again. At that time, those who have magic crystal mines will no longer have to worry about gold coins.

After three rounds of wine, Victor suddenly said, "Baron Donne, in view of your great contribution to the Empire, I want to promote you to hereditary count. What do you think?"

Princess Aurelia was shocked at the speech, and her face was full of incredible.

From a baron to a hereditary count?

Father, what does that mean? Drink too much?

Obery and Adrian and Princess Aurelia felt the same, and the wine in their mouths almost gushed out.

Hereditary titles are different from ordinary aristocratic titles. The two are not a concept at all. Getting hereditary nobles means that as long as the Empire does not die, Donne and his descendants can obtain the noble glory and power recognized by the royal family no matter how useless they are.

Why on earth did Victor trust him so much?

Even give him so much freedom?

The smiling parrola looked at Victor in surprise and wondered what had happened to her brother.

The Ilus Empire has been established for more than 800 years, conferring only more than ten hereditary nobles, and almost all of them were the founding heroes of that year.

From Victor's succession to the present, he has never canonized any hereditary aristocracy. It can be seen how special the hereditary aristocracy is.

What happened to him today? Why did you suddenly think of canonizing a hereditary aristocrat?

What is so special about Donne that he deserves so much attention?

Don shrugged: "it doesn't matter."

Seeing his indifference, Aurelia clenched her teeth angrily. Don't you know what a great honor this guy is!?

It can be said that once the news comes out, in the blink of an eye, Donne will become the hottest aristocratic star in Alex!

Everyone knows what hereditary aristocracy means - ordinary aristocracy will be deprived, but once the identity of hereditary aristocracy is recognized, it is permanently valid.

Unless stupid enough to betray the country.

Is it such a special honor that he doesn't care?

Aurelia wants to strangle this unscrupulous bastard!

"In that case, it's so decided!"

Victor said with a smile: "Baron Donne... No, now it should be count Donne's credit to the Empire. In fact, he should deserve a higher status, but in order to block those people's mouths, it's better to take your time."

Aurelia, keep her mouth open. The princess has no grace at all.

Parola, OLINA, obery, Adrian and others are all stupid.

Listen to victor, it's not enough to give Donne a hereditary count. Do you want to continue to promote him!?

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

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

If he was not worried that too much promotion would be rejected by others, he wanted to promote Donne to the status of hereditary duke or even hereditary prince, and firmly tie the son of God and the Ilus royal family on the same front.

"I have no problem."

Donne still looked like he didn't care.

So Aurelia was even more angry.

Maybe Victor also noticed that what he did was a little too exaggerated, so he had an idea and explained: "you may not have noticed how great the credit of count Donne is. The emergence of combine harvester has made the imperial agriculture advance by more than one big step. The great improvement of harvest efficiency can promote the expansion of cultivated area, and the grain yield will be even greater."

"The increase in grain production not only solved the hunger problem of imperial residents, but also solved the food problem of the army on the other hand, and improved the combat power of the army in a disguised form - this is only the role of combine harvesters, not to mention count Donne's research and development of other agricultural magic machines. I believe they can greatly improve the agricultural production capacity without exception."

"With the help of count Donne, our Ilus empire will change its decline and rise again."

Victor didn't finish what he said, but it was obvious that Donne and the magic machine he developed would completely change the weak position of the Ilus empire in prandal, and even restore its dominant position!
