Chapter 349 Coal Mine
In the office of Mr. Lelouch, the mayor, in the city hall.
The sun shines in from the window, and the whole office is very bright. Because the autumn harvest is coming, Lelouch has to deal with the problem of falling food prices due to the bumper harvest, so he is very busy during this period.
At this moment, Lelouch is lying on the desk reviewing documents. At this time, the newly recruited secretary came in with a cup of coffee in her hand.
"Mr. Mayor."
The secretary has an outstanding appearance, a tall and plump figure, and bends down to put the coffee next to Lelouch, and whispers.
Because of the angle, Lelouch can see the roundness when he looks up.
However, Lelouch is much more reliable than Marshall, Al, and Libya, playboys. He will not have any improper relationship with the secretary.
"Thank you, Miss Amida." Lelouch thanked the secretary politely.
"You are too polite, Mr. Mayor." Miss Amida looked at Lelouch with charming eyes.
The mayor is not interested in the secretary, but the secretary is interested in the mayor.
At present, the most wealthy bachelors in the White Eagle Territory are of course Luther, Pompey, the White Eagle Governor, and the next generation of Pompey's family head.
The next most wealthy bachelors are Lelouch, the golden bachelor.
Amida applied to be a secretary, but she has an ulterior motive.
"Lelouch." At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded, and Luther walked in quickly. He was stunned when he saw the situation in the office, and then teased: "I don't think I came at the right time."
"Don't be naughty, kid." Lelouch was at a loss for words, and then said to Miss Amida: "Make another cup of coffee."
"Okay, Mr. Mayor." Miss Amida nodded, then glanced at Luther with her eyes, and then left with a twist.
Is this the ideal fiancé of the White Eagle, Luther, Pompey?
I feel excited just by looking at him.
My heart is about to jump out.
"Nice figure." After Miss Amida left, Luther said with a smile.
"Don't think about it, I'm not interested in secretaries." Lelouch rolled his eyes at Luther.
"That's a pity, office romance is exciting." Luther said regretfully.
"Let's not talk about this." Luther came to the chair in the office and sat down, asking: "Mr. Mayor, is there a coal mine in my territory?"
"This is really amazing. There is a medium-sized coal vein in the White Eagle Territory."
Lelouch showed a lucky expression, bent down and took out a map from the drawer and unfolded it. The map showed the seven cities of the White Eagle Territory.
"Here."
Lelouch pointed to a place and said.
"Billy City?" Luther said.
The shape of the entire White Eagle Territory seems to be a vertical oval. The territory in the north is Silver Wing City, the territory in the south is Pompeii City, and Billy City belongs to the hinterland of the territory.
It is very, very beneficial to discover coal resources in Billy City.
"It's Bili City." Lelouch nodded, then put away the map and said, "No one cared about coal before, and no trace of coal mines has ever been found in the White Eagle Territory. This time we are really lucky."
"But what is the use of coal?"
Lelouch was still confused.
"Governor, your coffee." At this time, Miss Amida walked in again with her slender waist and handed the coffee to Luther.
"Thank you." Luther thanked her politely, then took a sip and put it on the small coffee table next to him.
"The use of coal will soon be revealed. If you want to know, accompany me to Bili City. By the way, send someone to inform Miss Alice that the eldest daughter of the baron wants to get a share of the pie. It just so happens that I am not very interested in secular business now, so let her take care of the manufacturing of trains and rails."
"By the way, send someone to find my mother as well. Mining is a business that still needs to be controlled by oneself." Luther said.
"I don't understand." Lelouch shrugged, then looked up and said to Miss Amida: "Send someone to inform Mrs. Sophie and Miss Alice to gather at the city hall and tell them that we are going to Bili City. Prepare guards and escort knights."
"Yes." Miss Amida responded and went down.
"It's convenient to have a secretary." Luther said with a smile.
Lelouch ignored him, this pervert.
Soon after, the carriages, guards and escorts were gathered, and Mrs. Sophie and Miss Alice also came. The four of them squeezed into a carriage and headed towards Bili City.
Since Lelouch took charge of the entire White Eagle Territory, he has done a lot of work.
Among them, the most important thing is to expand the highway, and all the main and secondary highways in the White Eagle Territory have been repaired and expanded.
This is based on Luther's theory that if you want to be rich, you must first build roads.
So riding in a carriage is not bumpy at all, but very comfortable.
"What kind of business is this? You should reveal some information now, right?" Miss Alice was like a hungry strong man, eager to learn more about this mysterious business.
"What is the use of coal?" Mrs. Sophie also asked curiously. Mrs. Sophie had only heard of opening iron mines, copper mines and so on, but had never heard of anyone opening a coal mine.
That thing is just a black stone. Although it has the function of burning, it is not as useful as wood.
Luther glanced at Miss Alice, and remembered that he had always been teased by this eldest daughter, so Luther decided to tease her.
"Miss Alice, do you know why steam comes out when water boils?" Luther asked with a smile.
"Water evaporates, of course there will be water vapor." Miss Alice rolled her eyes at Luther.
"Oh, I underestimated you." Luther said with a smile, and then Luther smiled and said: "Then do you know that water vapor is actually a kind of energy?"
"Energy, what kind of energy is water vapor?" Miss Alice really didn't understand, and her head was full of question marks.
"I just won't tell you." Luther said with a smile.
Miss Alice exploded at once, but considering that Madam Sophie and Lelouch were present, she did not make trouble, but made up her mind to tease Luther when no one was around.
Let this guy know that beautiful women should not be provoked.
After walking for several days, the group arrived in Belgium, and it took another three hours for the group to reach a piece of land in the northeast of Belgium.
There were large tracts of farmland all around, and the farmland was full of golden wheat. One of the farmlands was bought by the city hall, and all the crops were flattened.
Several cabins were built on this farmland.
"The exploration team has been disbanded, but there are still two wizard apprentices left, Miss Michelle and Mr. Mabusi, and the others are some officials and practitioners of the city hall."
Lelouch said in the carriage.
As he spoke, the cabin had arrived. The accompanying guards opened the doors on both sides of the car, and Luther and his four companions got off.
