Chapter 337 Industrialization
"Of course, with your funding, everything goes very smoothly." Lelouch smiled happily, let go of Luther, and the two sat down.
Then, Lelouch told Luther about the recent development of the White Eagle Territory.
Because of Luther's financial support, schools in various places have been opened very smoothly. The meat and food needed by 720,000 quasi-knights are all provided by the Pompey family.
As long as we persist for seven or eight years, there will be 720,000 knights.
Luther's education plan is a precedent in Prussia.
It also gathered a lot of popularity for the White Eagle emblem of the Pompey family. Now the seven cities of the entire White Eagle Territory are all surrounded by the White Eagle emblem.
Not to mention that Luther promoted agriculture, this plan is beneficial to all the lower-class people.
"If this continues, it will not take a hundred years. When the top combat power of the Pompey family comes up, it will be comparable to the Count of Libya and the Duke of Ferger."
Lelouch sighed, he never dreamed of this day.
At first, he and Luther planned to fight for the title of a baron. Now, it is not too much to give this piece of land a duke.
"Don't be so quick to grin. The problem now is the victory or defeat of the new party and the Count of Libya and the Duke of Ferger. They are still in confrontation. Whether I, the White Eagle Governor, can sit firmly is still a question."
Luther shook his head very calmly.
"Don't I know you? You must have a plan in your mind." Lelouch rolled his eyes at Luther, as if he was a worm in Luther's stomach.
Lelouch watched Luther climb up step by step, knowing that this partner was very cunning.
"Hey, you saw through it." Luther smiled.
After laughing, Luther stood up and stood by the window, pulled the curtains and looked outside, a colorful metropolis.
Pompeii is now bustling with people, schools, opera houses, and various facilities are very complete.
This is my city.
The city with the White Eagle emblem.
It is my responsibility to protect this land.
"Although the situation is good now, we should not take it lightly. Because of agricultural promotion, the price of food in White Eagle will definitely drop this year. Those nobles who own serfs will sell their serfs, and some farmers who grow crops will choose to work. This is a big challenge for the city hall."
Luther turned around and said.
"Don't worry, I have done a good job in attracting investment. The six families, the Morgan family, the Habsburg family, the Gandal family, the Wilson family, Miss Alice, Baron Philip, and Baron Billy will cooperate with us to build more factories in the White Eagle Territory to meet the challenge."
Lelouch looked proud, and his two big mustaches jumped funny.
Luther was a little surprised. Forget about the first few families, they have always been traditional allies of the Pompeii White Eagle emblem, but Baron Philip and Baron Billy.
Speaking of which, these two families still have some problems with the Pompeii family.
After all, it was the Pompeii family that deprived them of their hereditary territory.
It seems that the same old saying still applies: money can move people's hearts. Money can make money, and the development of White Eagle Territory will be a big cake. For the sake of money, everyone can forget new and old hatreds.
This is good.
"Not only these families, but also some wealthy people. With the decline of agricultural population and the increase of working population, they will not be able to help but build factories and recruit workers. The construction of the territory by the new party is a mess. By then, our White Eagle Territory will become the industrial center of Orange and burst out with powerful energy."
Luther said with a smile, with expectation on his face.
Industrial Revolution.
Luther missed his life in his previous life, when steam engines and trains were built first. As a time traveler, it was too extraordinary to use primitive tools in carriages to transport materials.
Let alone other things, just lay the rails and build trains.
Transportation costs will decrease, manpower will decrease, and the extra manpower can become workers.
Orange will be able to burst out with powerful power.
By the way, fast travel can also connect different places more closely. My poor Orange Hot Springs Resort is ready for opening.
I hope that when peace comes, all the rich people will come by train.
Thinking of this, Luther's heart was so hot. Luther couldn't help rubbing his hands and said to Lelouch with a smile: "By the way, how many wizards are there in our territory now, Mr. Wizard Apprentice?"
Before this, Luther recruited a group of wizards to go to the Treasure Star, but more wizards were unwilling to accept the magic contract.
So now there are still many wizards left in the territory.
"There are sixteen registered wizards and fifty-two apprentices." Lelouch has a good memory and answered immediately.
"Find these wizards, pay to form a geological exploration team, find coal mines and oil." Luther took a breath and said seriously.
"Coal mines? What's the use of that thing?" Lelouch was a little confused.
Of course there are coal mines in this world, but they are not taken seriously. Wizards are not interested in developing secular technology. They specialize in the human body, powerful weapons, etc.
And ordinary people can't use coal mines to burn fires, after all, it is difficult to burn a whole piece of coal. As for oil, not many people like it because it has a strange smell when it burns.
Wizards once said that oil is poisonous after burning, which is a very bad thing for ordinary people.
"Coal, oil will make our White Eagle Territory fly." Luther smiled, stretched out his right hand, opened his palm, and raised it up.
"I don't understand." Lelouch shook his head, but smiled and said: "But your actions have a purpose, and so far, your chaotic ideas have become good policies and projects. I believe in you, don't worry, I will do this thing well."
"You are worthy of being my partner." Luther smiled.
What does the train need as energy? Coal.
As long as you find coal, the train is not a problem. Because the wizards in this world are very smart, and everyone can become a scientist.
It's just that they don't usually pay much attention to these things. As long as Luther spends money to let them build trains and lay rails, they will definitely do better than the engineers in the previous life.
Money makes the devil work, this sentence is applicable no matter what world.
Then, Luther talked with Lelouch for a long time and sorted out the things in the territory. Only then did he walk out of the city hall with satisfaction.
If nothing unexpected happens, Luther will stay in the territory before the New Party and the Libyan Count and Duke Ferger decide the winner.
Industrialization is carried out in the territory, Prussia is catching thieves and developing Kazakhstan.
It feels so good to build your own country and territory bit by bit.
