As a traverser, Goodern has seen the most cash in his life is when he saw it at a wedding banquet when he was a child, and it is estimated that there are tens of millions of stacks.

Later, with the development of science and technology, cash payment was replaced by mobile phone network payment, and it was rare to be able to directly use a large amount of cash.

But just the tens of millions of red bills stacked together are already very shocking.

And now the coins in his vault exude a yellow and white shining metallic luster, which really makes people's hearts full of confidence.

Although a large part of this is copper and silver coins, it is still amazing.

Exiting the vault and returning to the study, Goodern began to inquire about Joseph Sr.

"Old Joseph, is this month's salary count out?"

Although Joseph Sr. had been given the work of government affairs to Kroger, some of the reports still needed to be read by him.

For example, the salary statistics, Joseph Sr. wrote it down early, nodded and returned it one by one.

"Come out, the mines, the factory workers, and the construction team, a total of two thousand eight hundred and six, and one thousand and eighty-eight .seven dollars are spent."

"Engineering Research Institute, 246 people, 639.6 gold."

"The salaries of the army, three hundred and twelve, and the expenditure of four hundred and sixty-eight gold."

"Two people from the General Affairs Department of Qingyuan Town, spending one hundred and fourteen points and four gold."

"Castle employment expenses, thirty-seven."

"The total salary expenses for September are: 2,348.2 gold."

I heard that the expenditure on salaries in September has reached more than 2,300, which is two more than in August.

The main reason for such a skyrocketing salary expenditure is the transfer of most of the personnel in Snow Valley Town to Qingyuan Town.

It's like the reward given to him by the empire, and now it's not enough to pay even a month's salary for him.

After quietly listening to the fixed expenses, Gooden knocked on the table and continued to ask,

"What about the other consumption?"

"The consumption in other aspects is only the cost of purchasing materials from Jinyuan City, a total of eight hundred gold."

"The rest of the consumption belongs to the town's own production and self-consumption, and if converted into cost prices, the internal expenses have reached more than 3,600 gold."

The self-production and self-sale in the town refers to the expenditure of basic materials for urban construction and the replacement of equipment wear and tear.

Fortunately, all of this piece can be self-produced, and only the most basic raw materials need to be provided, but the converted price has also reached 3,600 gold.

Although he does not need to pay this part, if the market value is used, it is possible that the price will have to double or double

This is also calculated in circles, I am afraid that the expenses of Qingyuan Town will have to be at least tens of thousands of gold a month.

After secretly calculating in his heart, Gooden began to inquire about the income.

In addition to the normal transaction with Jinyuan City, some internal economic circulation work has also begun.

The external transaction in September earned a total of more than two gold, and the internal town circulation, in September, a total of more gold coins were collected.

Distributed to the entire population of the town, it is equivalent to each person spending one silver coin.

This kind of income is not surprising if it is placed in a big city, but if it is placed in a remote town like the borderlands, it is really a daily horror.

And this is the first month that Qingyuan Town has integrated the residents of Xuegu Town, and this number will get higher and higher in the future.

In this way, the monthly expenses and earnings are almost proportional, and there is no need to worry about the appearance of fiscal deficits.

Of course, in the future, expenses and earnings will inevitably increase, but Gooden is still confident that the benefits will be higher than the expenses, so as to ensure stable operation.

After reporting on the completion of the monthly work, Joseph Sr. retired to attend to his own business.

The young master has brought the originally barren and barren Qingyuan Town into a thriving side in just three months, which is also a very gratifying thing for this old housekeeper who has served for so many years.

Although he is busy with many things now, he will still do his best to assist and ensure that nothing goes wrong.

And here at Goodern, after learning about the monthly situation in Qingyuan Town, he also began to devote himself to his work.

It wasn't until the evening that I was free and came to the study to continue browsing the books.

As she learned about the vastness and legend of the world in books and from Alyssa's mouth, Goodern became more and more curious about the world.

The history of a strange fantasy world, just the historical content he has known during this time, is about to catch up with the history of Blue Star.

And this is just the history of a continent, the more detailed history of empires and kings, which he hasn't read yet.

After reading the history of the continent, Goodern also asked someone to buy some other imperial histories, and today when Walsh arrives, he also brings him a new edition of the history of the Orrea Empire.

The empire has been established for nearly eight or nine hundred years, and in such a long period of time, it has been able to maintain its rule and develop into the first empire on the mainland.

This kind of legendary development is still very curious for Goodern, after all, the longest dynasty of the Legend of the Blue Star is only eight hundred years, and the longest is only less than three hundred.

For example, an empire that has existed for nearly a thousand years, and its history and culture are still of great interest to Goodern.

Turning the new pages, Goodern began to read quietly.

But as he skipped the table of contents and came to the first page of the text, Gooden's face suddenly became a little strange.

The history of the empire begins with the life of His Majesty the First Emperor.

But the name of the first Majesty...... made him doubt his background.

Aurels Aldia!

As the founding emperor, he began to fight in the 2739 ephemeris until the 27th *** in the Fenggu Plain.

Conquer the second battle, unify the four territories of Fenggu Plain, Nanshu Frontier, Northern Desert Jinhai, and Dongsen Green Valley.

After that, he personally repelled the orc tribe, which is the predecessor of the current Astor Orc Empire, laying the foundation for the subsequent takedown of the North Peak Frost Realm.

And the surname of such a legendary emperor is the same as him?!

Goodern, who had a strange face, immediately flipped to the back and checked the surnames of the next eight generations of emperors, all of whom were Aldia without exception.

What the is this.

Goodern returned to the first page of the introduction, and quickly skimmed through the biography of the founding emperor, Aurelius Aldia.

Later, on the third page, a line was found that was said to be the original words of O'Leres.

'Aldia, as the royal surname of the empire, except for the emperor, the prince, and the grandson of the emperor, can be matched with his surname, and the rest of the surnames will be changed to his surname, and those who are not of the clan and those who impersonate will be severely punished. "

This sentence made Gooden completely confused.

If, according to the historical situation, under the arrangement of the first emperor, the surname Aldia was not allowed to be used by anyone except the royal family.

Those who are found will directly behead their clan, and no one should pretend to be this kind of thing.

So what the hell is the last name that is displayed in the system panel now?..

Could it be that something is wrong with the system?

Thinking of this, Goodern couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

His predecessor was indeed from the royal capital, but judging from his memory, he spent more than ten years of his life in a courtyard.

Study, play, and life are all in one place, and I have never left this place.

Later, when he was about to become an adult, he received a message from his father, whom he had never met, and asked him to go to Qingyuan Town to serve as a lord.

Then under the impression of the outside world, he began to be fascinated by this world of flowers......

It is precisely because of the lack of contact with outsiders that they are unprepared for the warm 'reception' of the Charleson family.

In the past four years, most of the people around him have been infiltrated, and various pits have been installed behind their backs, and they have even been directly attacked to kill them......

At the same time in these notes

In his recollection, Gooden also discovered that his predecessor had never used his last name, and no one had mentioned it.

Even Joseph Sr. was always given a first name and no surname.

Is it possible that his identity is still the illegitimate child of some existing royal family?

After all, in addition to the emperor, the prince and the grandson are all capable of having the surname Aldia, and there is no more.

Thinking of this, Goodern's face also showed a hint of strangeness, old Joseph must have known his background, and asked him if he could ask the family for help.

Old Joseph gave him a direct negative answer, which made Goodern still a little incomprehensible.

If you look at it now, it all makes sense.

But......

Goodern suddenly remembered one thing, after he crossed over to the other world, the first time he went out, Anna and Morse, he seemed to report his last name in order to introduce himself.

At that time, the two were wearing legal robes, and they couldn't see their faces under the hood at all.

But as the next heir, the Empress and the legendary Divine Light Warlock, it is impossible for the two of them not to know the meaning of this surname.

Thinking of this, Goodern couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment on his face.

With the two of them, they could expose him on the spot, but they didn't, and instead accepted his invitation.

And in the follow-up contact, Joseph Sr. also discovered Anna's identity and gave corresponding etiquette and respect.

Rubbing his cheeks, Gooden was a little glad in his heart, but fortunately, he was the only time he said his surname.

Otherwise, if everyone says that his name is Aldia, then he can live until now and it can be regarded as a long life.

Returning to the books, Goodern had no intention of scrolling down, and then used magic to summon Joseph Sr.

After a while, Joseph Sr. pushed open the door to his study.

"Young Master, when did you give the order?"

Looking at the younger old Joseph who had been modified by the entry, Goodern groaned slightly and asked.

"Old Joseph, how much do you know about the family?"

The family here naturally refers to his 'royal family'.

In the face of the young master's inquiry, Old Joseph did not show too much expression on his face, and just replied according to the prepared words.

"The family does business in the royal capital, but the specific business transactions are arranged by the master, and I know very little."

Gooden naturally didn't believe this statement, so he continued to ask.

"What's that family name? I didn't pay attention to this matter before, but now that Qingyuan Town has developed, it's time to raise the reputation of the family."

Faced with this question, Joseph Sr. was stunned for a moment, and then immediately picked up.

"Young Master, your surname is a bit complicated, it's better not to use the reputation of the family here, it doesn't hurt to tell you now, the family name is: Crolio."

Hearing this, Goodern was stunned for a moment, Cavolio?

Why is this different from what appears on the system?

But after thinking about it, if Joseph Sr. really knew, I am afraid that he would not have directly told him his real name, but would have given him a surname that could be traced.

Thinking of this, Gooden hesitated slightly, since the other party wanted to hide it, there must be some reason for this.

And if you ask to the end, I am afraid that you may not be able to get the answer you want, after all, there is no substantive evidence in your hand now.

He is just curious about his hidden identity, and as for really going to recognize his relatives, he will not go.

The predecessor lived alone in a courtyard for more than ten years, and he didn't say anything like his family coming to see him in the middle.

There is no such thing as family affection, and if you insist on saying that it is related, it is only related by blood.

Thinking of this, Gooden planned to try again, and if Joseph Sr. still didn't reveal a little news, then the matter would be settled.

"You can return the Anna and Morse who saved us before

Remember?"

"Miss Anna and Mr. Morse? Remember." Old Joseph nodded, he had not forgotten them.

"When we were chatting before, Anna said that I looked like a certain son of Aldia, and I didn't care about it at the time, but now I realize that it is a royal family."

As soon as these words came out, Joseph Sr.'s face moved slightly, but Goodern continued.

"Anna's virginity...... Actually, I already knew, I was worried that I was really royal."

At this, Goodern paused, and then teased in a slightly light-hearted tone.

"If it's really royalty, even if I'm now retiring in such a remote frontier, if my natural strength is exposed, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

But in the ears of old Joseph, it was very heavy, and after the change of the young master's personality, he also more or less figured out some ways.

He definitely wouldn't talk this kind of nonsense to himself for no reason, thinking about the previous inquiry, and then looking at the slightly familiar face of the young master, Old Joseph lowered his head and thought for a while before slowly telling the truth.

"Master, actually...... You are indeed a member of the royal family, and the family name mentioned above is just a cover."

After hearing Joseph Sr.'s identity as a stone hammer, Goodern didn't show much surprise on his face.

"It doesn't matter what you're telling you right now, and it's hard to get what you're worried about."

"To be able to meet the conditions for the throne, in addition to being royal, you must also have a legendary posture."

The founding emperor of Aurels has reached the legend at the time of the battle, and it is normal for his lifespan to increase to years.

And after reigning for 170 years and surviving the death of eight princes, he chose a grandson from among his grandsons who was qualified to break through the legend to inherit the throne.

In the next 600 years, except for the 8th generation, who has only been in office for less than 30 years, each of the previous six has served for nearly 100 years before selecting a new emperor to succeed him, and the standard of his appointment is also a legendary start.

Gooden also had a general idea of this when he was just briefly flipping through the history books.

"And you have a royal surname, but you don't have any titles...... To put it bluntly, you are an illegitimate child, I'm sorry, young master, I didn't mean to offend you."

"It doesn't matter." Goodern did not sense anything about this fact, and motioned to Joseph Sr. to continue.

"Ahem, in addition to the necessary talents, you must also have a substantial reputation as a candidate for the throne......

Hearing this, Goodern understood, and his face showed a hint of relief.

There is such a thing as the throne, he will not fight, and he doesn't have to be comfortable with the emperor to be a lord on one side?

Although it is certainly not as good as the power, it is easier to win!

It's so tiring to build a Qingyuan Town, so he has no interest in getting a throne or something, and now that he doesn't have the possibility of participating in the battle for the throne, he is much more relaxed......
