"There is a bigger business!" Mondeo and Fox said in unison: "Then we can earn more in the future!"
"Uh, so this matter must be kept secret..." Linda said seriously.
The two men immediately nodded seriously.
If this is the case, they can still survive relying on Magister Linda. If they make more money, their current strength is not enough to protect that interest, so they must keep it secret. Everything can only be developed secretly until they have the strength.
Until it is protected.
"Okay, you two have made great contributions." Linda thought for a moment and said: "From now on, each of you will get 20% of the profits from the briquette field. Do it well, and I will help you continue to make a fortune."
At this time in the Zansikat Empire, whether it was a workshop or a private shop, after making money, the boss would probably follow the industry rules and use about half of the profit to reward the person in charge.
Mondeo and Focus have done this before.
This time, the figure given by Linda has reached 20%, and it is based on huge profits.
The two of them were naturally overjoyed and happily thanked the great elder for the reward.
In this way, they are neither greedy nor shady. As long as they work hard, their annual income will exceed 100,000 US dollars. This is slightly less than the Mondeo family's peak period. However, the income of the briquette field has not yet reached its peak, let alone
The coal mines that have been revitalized by the briquette field can easily earn more than 150,000 US dollars a year in the future.
Thinking of this, the two of them, who were worried about their fate two months ago, were so happy that they almost fainted.
This thigh hug is so right.
………………
When Maria returned to her room on the uppermost floor of the Lord's Palace, snowflakes were falling from the window.
The snow this winter has come one after another, especially after the fall of the Andnus region, the snow has almost never stopped.
Appropriate snowfall can bring good harvests in the coming year, but it will also make winter more difficult for civilians. After this snowfall, many people will die in the villages and towns in the Bohemian region, right?
No, he might have died for many years in previous years, but not this year.
Because of the intervention of the Dulian Merox Empire this year, in the name of liberation, they rescued these poor people who could not survive this winter, and these poor people soon became their fanatical followers under the brainwashing of the Merox people.
This is how the Andnus region fell.
The maid closed the wooden panel on the inside of the window to isolate the cold and desolate scene outside the window. The fireplace was burning in a corner of the room, keeping this gorgeous room warm and comfortable.
The ice and snow outside the castle seemed to be another world.
"You don't look very good!" The maid looked at Maria who walked into the room, and while stepping forward to help the duchess take off her cloak, she asked softly: "Today's meeting still didn't go well?"
"There are too many mediocre people, and everyone is so short-sighted. The threat of the Merlox Empire has already arrived at the doorstep, and they are still discussing petty profits."
Maria shook her head: "What's worse is that I can't drive them out yet."
Maria Teresa Amalia, the Grand Duke of the Amalia Dynasty of the Principality of Valencia, and the daughter of the Grand Duke Aveo Pippiniden of the Principality of Europe.
Ten years ago, her husband died in the war with the Duchy of Chil. Maria Theresa ascended the throne in accordance with the provisions of the "Edict of the State" and became the first female Grand Duchess of Valencia.
His accession to the throne was opposed by the Principality of Chil, the Principality of Soros and other countries, which triggered the Valencian Throne Succession War. The next year, he established his son Franz as the Grand Duke of the principality, and he became the actual person in power.
During his reign, he implemented enlightened autocracy and carried out various reforms to enhance national strength. After Franz's death three years ago, he and his grandson Joseph were in charge of the government together. Maria is now 68 years old.
She is only a sixth-level mage, and because of her hard work on state affairs, she has already shown her age.
Christina, the head maid, hung the cloak on the shelf next to her and said softly: "After all, this country still relies on them to run."
Maria glanced at the head maid who was also her friend. She knew that although Cristina was her maid in name, she had great knowledge and power. This 'Master Butler of Valencia Palace'
He is one of the people he trusts most, and when the two of them are alone, they can talk about most topics.
Christina is also the only two great mentor-level experts in the Principality of Valencia. Originally, there were three in the Principality of Valencia, but one was lost when they were in the main city of Andernus, and now there are only two left.
"A country doesn't necessarily have to rely on stale aristocrats to function."
Duke Maria said calmly: "You have seen with your own eyes that the reform of the Principality of Chil has been very successful."
Christina raised her eyelids and glanced at Maria: "Yes, but the cost of doing so is high. The main force of the Eurasian Federation's rebels broke out in the Principality of Cheer."
Maria was silent for a moment.
Because of the parliamentary system, the power of the nobles was greatly divided, which allowed the rebels to successfully lay a foundation among the people. If it were the original feudal system of nobles, this kind of thing would have been suppressed or reported to the nobles to which they belonged.
"Stop thinking about those things, there is a more important thing!"
Christina's words awakened Maria from her brief thoughts. The head maid picked up a mailbox sealed with wax paint from a nearby table and handed it to Prince Maria.
"A letter to you, sent from the Principality of Soros."
Maria's eyes widened in astonishment, and she said while taking the mailbox: "Duke Tiris?"
She instinctively smelled something disturbing in this letter. Not long after she returned to the capital from a visit to the Principality of Soros, the Grand Duke of the Principality of Soros hurriedly wrote a personal letter to her.
, and this is a letter sent by a messenger in this coldest month. What is so urgent?
Could it be that the rebels have crossed the Principality of Chil and attacked the Principality of Soros?
She quickly opened the mailbox, took out the autographed letter inside and unfolded it. After seeing the content on it, she frowned.
Christina stood quietly beside her and did not ask about the content of the letter. Although she had a close relationship with Maria and was the only two powerful masters in the principality, she did not go beyond that.
"What?"
Duke Maria exclaimed, not because she was not calm enough, but because the news was too shocking.
The two main pillar principalities of the Eurasian Federation, the capital of the Principality of Asia, fell. The Grand Duke Audro Henry of the Principality of Asia and his family members were all killed in the battle. The two main domestic legions rebelled, and it was only a matter of time before the Principality of Asia fell.
