In the last book, I said that if you don't keep your name when you do bad things, it's refreshing, and Lao Ruina enjoys it. And the representatives of Milan and Venice looked at everyone, except for the real bad guys, everyone was like bad guys, and they didn't even believe their own horses.

Before the Governor's urging, the representatives of the small city pushed the project to start: planning and surveying, then the specific route design, which is very fast, and then the bidding for the main railway products.

"This has to be done quickly, otherwise the representatives of Milan and Venice will make trouble. Only when the work is done and the railway is open to traffic can we rest assured."

The representatives of Verona spoke first. They knew that the people from the Second Capital of the Devil Emperor had great political power and could influence Lao Ruina, a fool.

"Yes, otherwise, if you don't implement it one day, it may cause trouble for you one day. Venice and Milan, I know them too well, this time they suffered a loss, can they be reconciled, and can they do everything possible to destroy it?"

The representative of Trieste said, as if familiar with the Venetian in Milan.

"Planning, needless to say, that proposal is planning. The survey must be Austrian, and we have no talent. We have hired a professor from the University of Vienna - the survey leader of the first railway in Vienna. He led the team from Razer, all the way to Trieste, will take two or three months."

The representative of Verona was very direct and gave everyone the work at the executive level.

At this time, ordinary railways are really simple and rude. They don't care about earthquake zones, mudslides, landslides, etc. As long as the river is not too wide, the bridge can be built over it, and the mountain is not too steep, and the car can climb over it.

"Is there an estimate of how long it will take to complete the construction?"

"I don't know the specifics, but as long as several roads are started at the same time, there is no problem in completing the construction in one year. At most, the construction of individual road sections is difficult. If you only start from the beginning and encounter some mountains and rivers, then maybe it is. "

"After the construction is completed and it opens to traffic, Milan and Venice will definitely strive for the second wave to join the railway. You must keep an eye on it. The second wave is still our small city."

This is the voice of Mantua.

"Yes, it must be us. We will support you first, and you must vote for us then."

said the representative of Cremona.

Monza and Pavia are the younger brothers of Milan, and Padua and Treviso are the younger brothers of Venice. They were silent, watching the representatives of these cities far from Milan and Venice.

This time, out of the four of them, three abstained from voting. One family and the Second Demon Emperor both came in the opposite direction, so they were accepted by everyone and came to participate in this small gathering.

But everyone didn't dare to be completely at ease. Maybe it was a spy sent by the Second Demon Emperor.

When representatives of several cities in the kingdom were implementing the railway project together, Lombardy and the Virgil family also had a report.

The Virgil family is the supporting role in the novel in which Valentine is the protagonist, but the supporting role is the main character of the protagonist.

The camera is a little closer. To the southwest of Milan, by the South Roblan River, there is a small lake. To the northwest of this small lake, there is a peninsula. On the peninsula is the castle of the Virgil family. The castle is surrounded by water on three sides and a hill behind it.

In a side hall of the castle, it is majestic and magnificent. If Carl saw it, he would probably want to take a few pieces off.

A man who looks like a housekeeper is reporting the situation to the master in the side hall:

"Lord Count, our family has no corresponding industry for this railway project, so we can't participate in it. After a period of time, when they have done almost the work, we will invest in the shares, and we will share dividends at that time... ·"

The official looked at the earl as if he hadn't woken up. Knowing that his words were not exciting enough, he looked forward to the future again:

"...At that time, after paying 3,000 pounds, you can not only get a big share, but also get a few thousand pounds in dividends, and let these rookies know who is in charge of the Lombardy-Venecia Kingdom. !"

"Well, don't go too far, let them live and work, don't dry up the pond and fish, we are the rulers, although we are not on the bright side, don't learn from Napoleon, and run away after more than ten years of looting; don't learn from Habs Fort, it's too laissez-faire for these people."

The patriarch coughed as soon as he said a few words. The housekeeper wanted to help him, but he stopped him when he raised his hand. After coughing for a while, he calmed down before he said:

"Anyway, if you want to do both hard and soft, you have to hold these people, and don't force them to run away. Going to Parma, Modena, the Papal States, or Sardinia, it's not that convenient for us to deal with."

The butler responded and continued:

"Lord Count, let me introduce the winning bids. You can evaluate how much we need to pay to get 60% of the shares in these places."

The earl hummed, and the butler introduced:

"Sleeves, a company located in the Udine area, on the Tagliamento River, in 3 of the 8 sections of the railway, the company in Verona, 3 sections, the company in Como, 2 bids part."

"Well, why isn't it evenly matched? Venice and Lombardy each have 4 bids?"

The earl analyzed it with the air of an expert.

"Track accessories, including spikes, nuts, fasteners, and signs, etc., a company in Piacenza won 3 of the 8 bids, and another company in Modena won the remaining 5 bids Tender."

"Well, it is divided between the two small duchies of Parma and Modena. It seems that it is a small thing and is worthless."

"There are also two locomotives that won the bids. In the initial stage, each company has 5 units, and there are 20-30 units in the later stage. The quality of the early five units will be determined and allocated according to the ratio of 7:3. A new order."

"Let's not talk about it, tell me where is the company?"

"One of them, an Austrian company with a factory in Novi Sad, won the bid with a bundled condition that they would open a company in Lombardy-Venecia."

"Austrian companies can make waves in Lombardy-Venezia? Is Austria more capable? Or is there no one in Italy?"

The earl's voice became a lot louder, and he asked three times in a row, and there was a smell of scolding in it.

"Yes, the Austrian company, it is estimated that the Italians are not interested in this. All these rough things, let the Austrian and Prussian **** do it."

The housekeeper continued on the topic just now:

"The company opened in the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venecia is tentatively scheduled to be located in Trieste. The Lombard government does not agree, and the lawsuit is brought to the Governor's Palace. The soft-faced old Reina in the Governor's Palace is again with mud, It's over in the end."

"Hehe, Rena, it's just a torii, a rubber stamp, and he will knock a small wooden hammer, eat with mud, corpses, and wait for the dead. Don't worry about him, what about the other one?"

This count of the Virgil family completely disdains old Rena.

I don't know what Lao Ruina will think when he hears this evaluation. Well, I guess he's secretly having fun. After all, old foxes are people who do bad things and don't keep their names. Why would they care?

"The other is a local company located in Verona. This is also the unhappy part of the Lombard government. It is equivalent to the two locomotive companies that won the bid are under the jurisdiction of the Venice government."

"Well, however, it is the same for us. As long as it is in the Lombardy-Venetian kingdom, it is our home court. Who can stop us in the whole of northern Italy?"

The housekeeper responded with two reconciliations and continued to introduce:

"The railway tracks, which were won by four companies, are located in Como, Verona, and Udine, Trieste. They are stupid, thick and black, with little technical content."

The earl was silent after humming, and the butler quietly exited the side hall, and then heard a tight cough.

The Virgil family thinks they are the home game, and the old Ha family, now that they are strong and strong, don't think they are the away game. Compared to the worst, they are both at home and active, and the result depends on the strength.

These projects in the Lombardy-Venetian Kingdom are far more than those explored by the Virgil family. All of them are Carl, the old military god, the emperor and his wife Ferdinand, Mrs. Sophie's family, and the companies invested by the five old Ruina.

Of course, every company has shares in Carl. As for the Emperor Ferdinand and his wife, and Madame Sophie's family, they only invest and do not participate in management.

25% of the shares of the two of them are distributed to the shareholders involved in the management, that is, the old and young Carl and the local snake Rui take home.

This is also because the function of trains has not yet been popularized. These Italians are still immersed in the world of small commodities and handicrafts.

When Milan and Venice build the railway again, I am afraid the competition will be fierce, but with this railway foundation, their technology is definitely higher than that of Italian companies, at least they are more familiar.

Lao Ha's family, in northern Italy, started such an enterprise all at once, so that there were not enough Austrian-speaking workers.

Fortunately, Carl and the others were well prepared. At the military base in Verona, Lieutenant Colonel Koch, the son of Brigadier General Miller, used military means and forced training in the name of hard labor as ordered by the old military god. A large number of Austrian-speaking talents.

Moreover, he was still looking for various reasons for the labor service, arresting the nearby people to serve the labor service.

With the factory, these people who have learned the Austrian language found that they were a blessing in disguise, and their wages were much higher than working in farm work~www.wuxiaspot.com~ than being a clerk and an apprentice.

Those who know the Austrian language are like a fish in water, and those who haven't learned the Austrian language will regret it.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Koch also received the news and changed his strategy. Instead of arresting people, they posted advertisements in the city, went up to the mountains to perform labor service, and had free Austrian language training.

At this time, not only Verona, but also the cities on both sides of Verona, Brescia and Vicenza, and Mantua, south of Verona, all volunteered to sign up.

In Verona, Ludovica Hospital and Ludovica Medical School were also established. The hospital is in the urban area, but the medical school is on the shore of Lake Garda, about ten kilometers from the center of Verona.

The land there is cheap. Ludovica bought a large piece of land. From Lazise to the Mincho River, it is more than 6 kilometers long and a little more than three kilometers wide. Above Lazise, ​​it is five kilometers long and two kilometers wide. Three kilometers wide.

In addition to the medical school, a Ludovica memorial will also be built here.

Carl's factories, sleepers, locomotives, and railroad tracks are all under construction, and there are also more basic cement factories, brick factories, glass factories, lumber factories, etc., which will also be built here.

Now, let's not talk about what is environmentally friendly or not. The pollution of Lake Garda is inevitable. We are not afraid of pollution. As long as we produce more, it will be worth it.

Carl first used inferior means to plot against the Valentin family, the right arm of the Virgil family. He knew that they would get their revenge back sooner or later.

But I don't know that the Virgil family has such a big appetite. They want to take 60% of the shares of his factories, and they still hold the attitude of not drying up the pond and not rushing to kill. This responsible spirit definitely takes oneself as the master.

If Carl knew of their kindness and restraint, he would have to wonder if he wanted to thank the eighth ancestors of the Virgil family.
