Duke of Grief

"call--"

Calvin George opened his collar and let out a breath.

After several months of peeling, those big nobles were finally willing to raise funds for the construction of railways and steam locomotives. It was midsummer at the beginning of the peeling, and now the farmers have finished harvesting wheat?

The more I think, the more annoyed I am, but I don't know how to vent.

For those funds, they have to continue to laugh at those nobles, it feels like a prostitute!

"I know you are getting angry now..."

The road outside the Yongdi Palace was flat, and Calvin and Gregory did not feel much bumps in the carriage.

Gregorian clasped the pole of the cane with both hands, but his face was still very calm.

He calmly persuaded: "But now we still need funds, otherwise the funds approved by His Majesty are simply not enough."

Calvin gritted his teeth and grunted coldly.

As Gregorian said, they now have to bow down to the feet of those nobles in order to obtain more funds, because these new nobles do not own much assets, even if they sell their houses. If it is lost, throwing the obtained funds into this big project is also a tremendous salary.

Many people of the old nobles had the fiefs, even the court nobles also had some manors, but they had nothing, and all the funds were in the hands of the old nobles and the Chancellor of the Treasury.

If they are doing experiments, they will naturally be able to get a lot of money, but compared to the current big project, the money they used to do the experiment is not even less than one-tenth of it.

If you want to lay the railway on the land of the empire and form a'railway transportation network', then the manpower and material resources required can not be summed up in one word.

If you want to create such a transportation network, you may even need more than ten years of taxes from the Empire!

Although they did not immediately build a transportation network, after all, the current empire did not have that kind of conditions. It was only them who could produce railways and steam locomotives. Even if they wanted to build a railway transportation network, they were far from manpower.

But even if the railway connecting the two cities is to be built, the manpower and material resources required are far from the imagination of those nobles.

How could they spend a lot of money on something that temporarily doesn't show any benefit to them?

They are not stupid!

However, in the eyes of Calvin and Gregory, it is not that there is nothing wrong with the considerations of the old nobles, but it is also their considerations that make them short-sighted.

Like His Majesty Caesar XIII, after he heard their explanation, he basically understood what changes the steam locomotive could bring to the empire, so he immediately approved a lot of funds for them.

However, those old nobles were different. Calvin and Gregory had peeled their skins for a few months. They talked dryly, couldn't sleep at night, and even lost a lot of their heads, so they barely persuaded them. They are willing to raise funds for them.

Of course, there is a possibility here!

Perhaps those old nobles had already seen what changes the steam locomotive could bring to the empire, so they had always refused to provide funds for them.

Once the railway is completed, the time required to travel between the two places will be shortened a lot, so that the influence of the royal family will also expand.

Maybe those old nobles were not stupid, they also saw this, so they would always refuse.

Fortunately, there are still a lot of "stupids" in this country who are willing to support them. For those "smart people", the nobles who support the railway plans of Calvin and Gregory are a group of "stupids".

Fortunately, there are partisan disputes in this country. In fact, Calvin and Gregory once mocked these stupid partisan disputes. As a result, they did not expect that they are now ‘saved’ by this thing.

"But things from that country are pretty good..."

Calvin shifted his attention, no longer angry with the ‘fools’, and turned his head to talk about the ‘things’ they got from the Principality of the Winds.

"New farm tools, brand new agricultural knowledge, brand new philosophies... I have to say that the maidservant is really lucky, she has such precious knowledge of the outside world!"

Every time he talked about this, Calvin was very excited.

Whether as a mage or as a researcher, he likes to be exposed to'new knowledge', not to mention that everything is'new', which is very different from the knowledge system derived from the world of Assatom Knowledge, which makes him even more excited.

For Calvin's words, he expressed envy for the maidservant's good luck, and Gregory nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a good thing to be able to use cement for road construction and house construction. But it is probably only used for road construction now, and the simple cement is not hard enough. If it is used to build a building, it may collapse, even if it has a supporting column, I really don’t understand how to use cement there. To build a house."

In this matter, Gregory has the same high interest as Calvin.

Since they first noticed the Principality a few months ago, their interest in the Principality exploded out of control.

That knowledge is very valuable to them, rather than to the entire empire, but that knowledge was transferred to the empire through Lolandal, which caused many old nobles with fiefs to ignore it.

They showed the arrogance peculiar to the imperial nobles in this kind of thing, and looked down on other countries besides the empire, even the Kurkut empire that had been developing in recent years. There is no interest.

Therefore, he was less interested in the Principality that had not been independent before, but was a duke.

Fortunately, they focused their attention on the empire and did not notice what was born in the Principality. In addition to knowing that the ruler of the Principality was a black dragon and a woman, they also knew the mob of the Moore Commercial Federation They forced the lady away, and now the capital city of the Principality is the holy city of the goddess of wealth~www.wuxiaspot.com~The Grand Duke of Black Dragon is very capable.

In addition, the arrogant old nobles did not realize that the world has quietly changed.

Because the Principality was born, Calvin and Gregory also had some interest in ‘politics’.

In recent months, they have also secretly proposed many times to make Caesar XIII pay attention to the Principality. Now their majesty may have some ideas in their hearts, but it is not easy to say.

In terms of the political system, the system of the Principality of the Windy Winds seems absurd. In fact, in the Ogden Empire that has already had a preliminary'experiment'-Calvin and Gregory can determine that this is an efficient political system .

The new aristocracy is the product of this kind of'experiment', and it has the same qualities as the political system of the Principality.

Although the Ogden Empire cannot become the Principality of the Winds, it can learn from their methods.

Because the empire was vast and the royal family could not reach it, it was difficult to effectively manage the remote borders, so the sub-enclosure system was more suitable for the former empire.

But now, they have researched the steam locomotive, and the railway transportation network is about to be built. In the future, the transportation industry within the empire will be more accessible. The royal order can be communicated to the border in a short period of time, rather than three years and five years later. It was only after loading that the frontier realm was able to receive royal orders.

From now on, "Tian Gao Emperor Far" has become a past tense!

Calvin suddenly laughed and said in a humorous tone: "Thanks to the arrogance of the old nobles!"

Listening to his ridicule, Gregory also quietly let go of the hand holding the cane, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "Thanks to the old nobles for their eyes!"
