Chapter 345: Changes in Fiscal Revenue

"No, I'm afraid you can't go, it's disrespectful to a country. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I'll do this myself," Locke shook his head, stopping Shiloh from trying to dissuade him. "I am the person in charge of the Southern Theater of Operations, and this matter can only be supported by me if I go in person."

Without waiting for the others to say anything, Locke ordered Maslan to start making relevant preparations. When the contents of this meeting are implemented, he is ready to go to Kurtilas.

"So be it, let's all go and prepare for the tasks I have arranged."

After everyone in the room got up and saluted Locke, they walked towards the outside of the conference room one after another, the expressions on everyone's faces were different, Locke looked carefully, no one had a dissatisfied look, they were more impatient.

Shiloh and Norris were about to leave the conference room, but they hadn't taken a few steps before they were stopped by Locke.

"Shiloh, tell me about our recent revenues."

The room was gone, and Locke would finally have a chance to ask about the finances. Don't embark on so many projects and don't have the money to build them, it's interesting.

"Now, under the leadership of the kobold Golden Fang. Their people are digging for us day and night. Gold, silver, copper, and iron ore were transported to factories in a steady stream. ”

"The gold we dig up is smelted into nuggets and kept in our vaults. Each piece of gold weighs about 90 grams, and the number of gold bars is about 12,000 pieces, totaling a little more than 1 ton. If these gold are to be smelted into gold coins, a gold coin is 24 grams, which is about more than 41,600 pieces," Shiloh blurted out without thinking about it, and then she said apologetically, "The specific financial income is placed on your table, Great Lord, you must look at it in your spare time, I only remember an approximate number." ”

"There are still 30,000 gold coins in our official bank under the official Eva administration. It is used for daily transactions, as well as for the payment of military salaries to soldiers. There are also statistics on the number of other silver and copper coins, but there are too many of them for me to remember. ”

"The above is the increase in our financial income from the gold mines. In fact, we at Eva now don't just rely on gold mines to increase our revenues. ”

Speaking of this, Shiloh was clearly a little happy. As a treasurer, she gets an exact income count every day, down to the silver coins.

"Really? That's good news. Locke couldn't help but be a little happy, "What kind of income do you have?" How much can I earn? ”

"Now we in Iva are said to be the largest population distribution point in Lordaeron. Because of the high density of the population, many countries and races have opened up trade with us. At the same time, the relevant taxes have also begun to increase gradually. As your lord has commanded, we only collect taxes from shopkeepers and ocean trade, as well as caravans. After the study of our tax department, the proportion of tax is different, and the different proportion of goods sold is also different, if you are interested, you can go to me to check the specific figures. ”

Shiloh lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "These trade taxes cost nearly 500 gold coins per month. This is also due to the fact that our tax hand ratio is somewhat low. The money is currently held in the bank as a source of funds for the maintenance of the Iva public facilities. ”

"Of course, the development of Iva will inevitably drive the value of the surrounding land. Many merchants, nobles from other regions and kingdoms, have come to us to buy ownerless land, and we have also sold some inconsequential idle land to befriend the nearby nobles. The specific document information is placed on your desk of the Great Lord. ”

"Well, thank you Shiloh." Locke looked at her with some emotion, he wanted to step forward and pat her on the shoulder, but suddenly felt that it was a little inappropriate to do so, and the elf was watching here. So he bowed gratefully to Shiloh.

"Thank you for your help to me, for helping Eva. Without you, I think this would be a mess, and you've contributed more to Iva than anyone here, even me. Thank you, and all of us want to thank you, and that includes the future Lordaeron. ”

Suddenly seeing Locke bow to him, Shiloh was a little frightened. However, after hearing Locke say this, Shiloh said that he was not happy and that it was false. Her two thin eyebrows were curled, her long eyelashes narrowed, and she enjoyed Locke's praise and thanks very much, but her mouth was still very polite.

"Great Lord, don't say that. If it weren't for you, I think I'd still be in the cathedral of the monastery, spending my days contemplating the light in front of books. How can you see so many colorful lives? The sense of accomplishment that has been brought to me by watching Iva slowly become a place of abundance in our hands is something that books and the Light cannot teach me. ”

"And," Shiloh said with a squinting smile, "all of us, Deputy Commander Hudson, Paul, etc. We are all one with you, the Great Lord, and only the further you go, the brighter our future will be, isn't it? ”

Norris watched boredly, leaning against the wall with her arms folded. The interaction between humans in front of her made Norris feel bored. In her opinion, they are comrades-in-arms who have been fighting together for many years, so do they still need to be so pretended? There is no one else here, who is it for? Show me?

It's not the same between them High Elves, each of whom believes in each other's comrades. In battle, there will never be a situation where you betray the other party. Of course, she also believed that the humans in front of her would not betray her, especially if she had worked with them for so long. There is a clear difference between this group of human beings and the rest of the people, they have their own beliefs, and this belief is supporting them to move forward. And this impression is not the Holy Light, the Holy Light is only spiritual sustenance for us. Their faith is to restore Lordaeron!

Norris leaned against the wall, tilting her head to watch the two of them talk. Now it's hard for her to explain why she stayed to help him. Especially after knowing that he was looking for another woman behind his back, although he was not to blame for this, it must be those sissy male high elves in Quel'Salas, who would not be able to resist the temptation of a woman.

However, I just stayed, and this feeling is not clear. However, it is truly amazing to see a young boy become the leader of the forces of humanity.

Norris watched as Locke expertly pacified Shiloh, it was all so natural. Apparently he is much more mature than he used to be, and this kind of person is a natural leader...

The corners of Noris's mouth curled slightly, and she watched Locke laugh softly, and the smile was unusually proud.

Maybe that's his charm, so I'm very discerning, right?
