Chapter 576 Money! A Lot of Money!

In the previous battle at the Top of the Storm, apart from the Combine Harvester, which was blessed by the Holy Light and killed everyone, it was Elsa's chainsword that shined.

The huge sword body, the ferocious saw blade, the thrilling sound of gear rotation, and the incomparable powerful cutting power are simply super weapons tailor-made for men on the battlefield. However, when held in the hands of a petite girl, it forms a distinct contrast.

After seeing Elsa killing everyone with a chain sword, Depp, Locke, and even Little Tom became jealous. As soon as the battle was over, they ran to find Twain, clamoring for one.

Considering the motivation for morale, Tang En agreed to their request.

In other words, the chain swords in the hands of Deplock and the others at this moment were also made by Tang En himself, so there are still many enchantments and constant spells on them, but the appearance is different from Elsa's. The shape becomes more majestic and bloody. The golden dragon carved on the side is about to appear. The sharp claws are coiled on the spine of the sword and shine with cold light. The sight of this sword makes people's blood boil.

Of course, the other guard members were also envious, but Tang En also agreed to them. Once the reverse decomposition of this weapon is completed and the production line is designed, everyone can have one.

Of course, the quality of mass-produced models is naturally inferior to those made by Tang En himself, but the design and craftsmanship are there, and even ordinary models cannot be underestimated in their power.

At the same time, Tang En promised them that as long as they performed well and made many meritorious deeds in the future, they would be able to obtain the equipment made by him.

This promise makes many people eager to find opportunities to express themselves.

Because in the previous period, some people had received rewards from Tang En himself. The armors and weapons exuding magical light were like showing off their achievements to others all the time. This is much better than any medal. .

The appearance of Depp and the others attracted the attention of many people, whether it was the chain swords on their bodies or their confident aura. Following Twain, they have won many battles and now have very firm beliefs and firm eyes. It was enough to make nobles who had never been on the battlefield hide in the shadows in shame.

What's more, now that their lord, Tang En, has become the king of this country, what else do they have to fear?

Before this, who would have believed that the lord of a small and remote territory in the Illus Empire would become the king of this country?

No one would believe it, but their overlord arrived.

Even this impossible thing has happened, what else is impossible?

"I have met His Majesty."

Depp and the others stepped forward and saluted Tang En.

Seeing Tang En wearing a crown at this moment, Locke was extremely grateful for his original choice.

If he hadn't decisively chosen to stay in Ellington, how would he have had the opportunity to come into contact with Twain now?

"Get up, no need to be polite, just do whatever you want."

Tang En really didn't have time to chat with them at the moment, because the ministers kept pestering him and Olina to show their goodwill. Although Tang En hated this situation, whether it was to win people's hearts or to appease them, Regardless of emotions, superficial work has to be done.

After Depp and the others left, Tang En continued to talk nonsense with those nobles.

In fact, the main purpose of their insinuations is that there are a lot of vacancies in the empire's aristocracy.

Yesterday's purge was still fresh in their minds, and many people were secretly frightened. This regent was not like the Victor of the past. He was a leader who dared to speak and act. Facing such a tough regent, who could do it now? Do you dare to have second thoughts? Of course, I tried my best to show my goodwill and worked hard to climb up.

The empire's top management is now empty, and many important positions are vacant. Even if you can't get a good job, finding a way to get in is still an excellent start.

Of course Tang En could guess what they were thinking, so he just laughed at their overtures casually and accepted all the benefits, but he didn't say a word about the promise, making those people ********. I wanted to grab him by the neck and ask him what he wanted before he opened his mouth.

His wife and daughter were even willing to strip naked and stuff them into his bed, let alone other things!

A celebration banquet was held early in the morning and lasted until noon. This was an unprecedented first for Tang En.

The whole morning passed, and after finally appeasing those people, he had some time to rest.

"Headache."

Tang En rubbed his forehead. At this moment, he finally realized how difficult it was to be the king. Everyone was staring at him eagerly, staring at those fat vacancies. Even if they did nothing, they just stood in the right team. I have great achievements, so I want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.

If Tang En agrees to those people, then it won't be long before the same mistakes will happen again, and the entire Illrus Empire will fall into that vicious cycle again.

"Tina, pour me a cup of tea..."

Tang En slumped on the chair weakly, not even wanting to open his eyes. Dealing with these people was too exhausting.

"Tina didn't come over at Ellington, so don't talk about her."

Fiona put a stack of documents in front of him angrily and said, "You need to take a rest quickly. You still need to go through these things."

Tang En groaned in pain: "What are these? Can't I let Olena see them?"

"The harvest from the house raids during the purge was huge, so I think it's better for you to see it in person."

Although Tang En and Olena are already a couple in the legal sense, Fiona has always positioned herself as Tang En's assistant, not the king of this country.

Especially when it comes to wealth issues.

When he heard that it was the result of a house raid, Tang En perked up, picked up a notebook, opened it, and started reading: "I want to take a look... what the hell!?"

As soon as Tang En saw the first page, he felt like shit.

The first page is a list of the properties of an earl in the noble council. The earl is now imprisoned.

"Are you sure this is a count? Not a duke?"

Tang En kept thinking as he read, these pages clearly recorded all of the earl's property.

The Earl named Hook Cruton had a deposit of nearly five million gold coins in the Star Diamond Bank. However, this was only a small amount. In his home, a total of mana gems worth three million gold coins were found. The magic accessories even include one hundred sets of armors and weapons that are carefully maintained. The value of these one hundred sets of armors and weapons is already more than half a million gold coins. In addition, there are a large number of artworks of uncertain value, rare jewelry, etc.

In addition, he owns a total of three manors covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 acres around Yalinks, an orchard, a breeding farm dedicated to raising meat poultry, a horse farm used for breeding, two small copper mines, and other bits and pieces. Leaving aside the miscellaneous things, the total value of these fixed assets alone exceeds 10 million gold coins.

And you're telling me this is an earl?

Even the Marquis is not that rich!

It is worth mentioning that this earl is actually a loyal customer of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. He has a six-star earl membership card and has a large number of magic air conditioners and magic furniture installed in his home...

Of course, these things are now back in Tang En's hands. They can be pulled back and cleaned for a while before they can be put back on the shelves for sale...

After briefly looking at the list, Tang En groped his chin and remained silent.

During this great purge, the amount of property seized from the noble faction was quite staggering. The total amount even exceeded the total wealth of the Illrus Empire for decades. Can you believe this?

To put it nicely, this is called hiding wealth from the people, but to put it poorly... this is just a pile of oily borers!

A large amount of wealth was greedily occupied by them before entering the national treasury, resulting in the royal family not having enough funds to develop the country, and then the tax revenue received would be reduced. This is a vicious circle.

No wonder people say that farming with peace of mind is not as good as fighting monsters and leveling up. The harvest you get from farming for a year is not as good as a fraction of killing monsters in one night!

The contrast is so obvious. Who wants to farm honestly? Of course, they are copycats who go up the mountain to become bandits...ah! The copycat guy is out to fight monsters!

At this time, Fiona asked a very important question: "How do you plan to use such a large amount of wealth?"

How huge is this wealth? The total amount is estimated to exceed 10 billion gold coins!

The current economic circulation situation of the entire Purandar is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty during the feudal period. Tang En could not figure out how so many gold coins could circulate in the market under such economic conditions.

In fact, this is because Tang En thinks too much. Although the common currency currently circulating in the Purandar countries is Illus gold coins, gold coins are currencies directly made of currency after all, and will not lose currency due to the change of dynasties. qualifications.

The Purandar civilization has developed for nearly ten thousand years. Gold coins issued by various dynasties in the past are still circulating in the market, and can be easily exchanged at the Star Diamond Bank according to the quality of the gold coins. Therefore, the total currency of the entire Purandar is far exceeds actual circulation.

If economists on earth were allowed to travel to this world and see the current situation of the financial system here, they would probably go crazy in a short time.

Closer to home, this amount of money is very huge. It can be said that if all this money is collected into the treasury, the treasury of the Illus Empire can even compete with the treasury of the Ronitant Kingdom!

This is equivalent to the total national fiscal revenue in the past few decades. Now that it is all taken back from the national treasury in one fell swoop, even the wealthy and civilized Ronitante will have to kneel down!

"Now that we have money, of course we can speed up our previous plans."

Tang En waved his hand and said: "First of all, the most important thing is, if you want to be rich, build roads first. Help me contact Galian. I want to build roads. I want to build roads all over the country. I want to make the empire accessible in all directions!"
