Magic Industrial Age

In Luo Yi's view, all the problems of the Fleur territory could be summarized in one word: money!

If he had money, Luo Yi could allow his vassals and knights to enjoy a better life, reap greater benefits, have more abundant cultivation resources, and better welfare.

Speaking of which, people like Earl Raymond were naturally very wealthy.

However, the knights and lesser nobles below lived a tight life.

The small-scale peasant economy, self-sufficient, seemed beautiful, but the benefits that could be produced on the land were extremely limited.

From living conditions to food to entertainment, everything was scarce!

Most importantly, without additional mineral resources, a territory that small simply couldn't yield much money.

Taking a knight's territory as an example, a second-tier formal knight's annual surplus would not exceed ten gold Thalers.

Even a third-tier extraordinary being's surplus would not exceed one hundred gold Thalers.

Therefore, when Luo Yi gave those knights and mages supporting the Grand Duchess one thousand gold Thalers each, Pal Paul could no longer refuse.

It was simply their income for ten years!

Luo Yi believed that as long as a good distribution plan was made, giving these vassals and knights far more benefits and enjoyment than before, they would not long for their past lives.

Similarly, if there was money, the freemen would be easier to deal with.

A group of people who could eat their fill and dress warmly, have better housing conditions, and a stable job could support a family.

If, under such circumstances, they could also be given access to upward mobility and room for advancement, they would do their best to work towards a goal.

As for those neighboring nobles!

Luo Yi didn't dump goods into their territories, nor did he destroy their economic system, nor did he earn their money.

Naturally, the hostility would be greatly reduced, and there would be no reason for conflict.

Even, if he had money, Luo Yi could find ways to give them some benefits.

Bribe them a little, and let them become the Raymond family's mouthpiece and shield to the outside world.

Of course, the 'money' Luo Yi was talking about here was actually more of a collective term.

Including money, minerals, grain, magic materials, magic potions, and other supplies.

And Luo Yi could obtain these from the Habsburg Empire.

The current Habsburg Empire was in a stage of rapid development, and the most important part of the industrialization process required a lot of resources.

For example, the rails needed to lay railways, given the current situation of the Habsburg Empire, were in great demand.

Even to the point where they would take as much as was available.

There were also various practical magic-powered machines.

Magic-powered forging hammers and magic-powered steelmaking furnaces were just the basics.

With Luo Yi's designs and Lilia's implementation, they could always come up with products that the Empire was most interested in, and pay a lot of gold Thalers and materials for these products.

In fact, if you broaden your horizons a little, there are many kinds of machinery.

In addition to processing machinery, there are also transportation machinery, lifting machinery, engineering transportation machinery, agricultural machinery, general machinery, special machinery, and so on.

If that doesn't work, you can focus on daily necessities.

What magic refrigerators, air conditioners, electric fans, water heaters, etc., etc., anyway, there is nothing he can't do, only things you can't think of.

Besides, isn't there a saying that if there is no market, then I will create a market.

Luo Yi felt that as long as he wanted to, he could definitely guarantee that all nobles would be addicted.

As long as the Habsburg Empire's market accepted it, and even formed a cycle, the wealth and materials Luo Yi obtained could solve various conflicts within the Fleur territory.

As long as a virtuous cycle was formed, the industrialization of the Fleur territory could get on the fast track!

In this way, Luo Yi would have enough time to gradually construct a new order and a new system.

Then, place the various classes of the Fleur territory in different positions.

At that time, it would not only be a perfect promotion of the industrialization process, but also allow the Raymond family to grow rapidly.

This was the method Luo Yi had racked his brains to come up with.

In the carriage, Luo Yi spoke slowly, and Lilia was stunned.

Because, even she, who didn't know much about Luo Yi's thinking, could now see the feasibility of it.

Even her own advantages were brought into play.

Perhaps, the Fleur territory would embark on a path that was completely different from the Habsburg Empire, but more peaceful and more perfect.

Of course, this was a guiding principle, a goal to be achieved in the distance, and also the perfect path in Luo Yi's heart.

However, when it came to specific implementation, there had to be a complete plan and various policy supports.

Therefore, in the second half of the journey, Luo Yi began to think about various plans.

Even, with the help of Deep Blue, analyzing and deducing various situations with the existing information, so as to determine various policies and many details.

Finally, it was compiled into a policy outline, a complete plan.

Full name: "Fleur Territory Development Plan".

Although it was impossible for everything to conform to the actual situation, with this plan, Luo Yi had a bottom line in his heart.

If he was still uneasy before departure and didn't know how to govern the territory,

Now, he was eager to try and had a plan in mind.

Then, in his expectation, the team finally entered the Fleur territory.

Once here, Luo Yi began to pay attention to the outside situation.

He found that although the bandits here were rampant, most of them were farmers holding farm tools who couldn't get enough to eat.

In fact, they didn't dare to target those villages and towns, nor did they have the strength, they just plundered some passing pedestrians.

Of course, Luo Yi's team was not something they could provoke.

However, the Earth Dragon Knights constantly pressed forward, searched, and captured, driving away countless bandits.

According to the nobles' laws, they should all be executed, but Luo Yi looked at the civilians, one by one, scantily clad and as thin as firewood.

He really couldn't issue the order to kill!

In the end, he could only give them some food and let them go back first.

This made Luo Yi realize that some things in the Fleur territory really couldn't be delayed any longer.

The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥is⊥at⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥release!

In addition, along the way, he also encountered many villages and small cities.

Those nobles and knights naturally had to come to pay their respects, but Luo Yi just let them follow and did not receive them individually.

The only time he left the team was actually to go to the ruins of the railway.

Here, a railway was originally planned and had already begun to be built.

The leveled land was covered with pebbles, and then wooden sleepers were laid, with fixed rails on top.

However, the distance was not long, only about one kilometer, and there were many scattered wooden sleepers and rails around.

Obviously, a lot of materials had been robbed.

However, the repaired track, without tools, could not be dismantled by hand, but was preserved intact.

For industrial development, transportation is always the most important, so this road must exist.

Luo Yi thought so, shook his head again, and continued to follow the team.

So, after another three days, they finally arrived at their destination.

...

The core of the Fleur territory is of course the Raymond family's castle, also known as the Lion Castle.

It itself is built at the end of the Dome Mountains, on a height called 'Skywing Mountain'.

Similar to the Norman family's castle, it also occupies a hilltop and is built as a fortress.

This place is actually the sacred place of the ancient Winged People, originally with complete buildings, and after their defeat, it was taken over by the Raymond family.

Over countless years, it has been constantly renovated, improved, and expanded, and finally became the Lion Fortress.

Moreover, unlike the Norman family's White Castle, the Raymond family does not allow other buildings around the castle.

Therefore, the Lion Fortress stands alone on the top of the mountain, and its defense is definitely full.

Not only is it easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it also has powerful magic protection. It can be said that taking this place is by no means an easy task.

However, the meteorite that fell from the sky not only destroyed the guardian magic, but also turned this place into ruins.

As a result, this Skywing Mountain was shortened by several meters under the powerful impact, and there were huge craters left.

As well as the remains after being burned by flames.

Whenever the wind blows at night, passing through the ruined castle, it is like the wailing of countless wronged souls, which makes people feel fear.

Of course, also because the Raymond family does not allow building a city around the castle,

Therefore, the nearby city, twenty miles away, on the banks of the Ruhr River, a majestic city rises from the ground.

Brussels, in the ancient language, means the territory of the Lion King, and in recent years it has also been known as the 'City of Flowers'.

This city spans both sides of the Ruhr River. The southeast side is mainly where wealthy merchants, nobles, and knights live, and the Lion Manor is located in the center.

After all, the castle is too far away, so Earl Raymond spends most of his time dealing with government affairs in the Lion Manor in Brussels.

Here, it is also the core of power in the entire Fleur territory, and almost more than half of the policies are issued from here.

The northwest side of Brussels belongs to the freemen, farmers, and workers.

Although the buildings are not as luxurious as those in the southeast, and even seem a bit crowded, they are busy every day and have a large flow of people, which makes them more down-to-earth.

After the Lion Castle was destroyed, this place was not affected, and not even a single person died.

However, later, noble conflicts and power struggles broke out here several times, causing countless casualties.

However, that's all in the past.

Because, this city of Brussels is about to usher in its new owner, the new Lion King.
