Starting Life as a Baron

Alan, Oliver and a group of accompanying knights arrived at the first destination in a carriage pulled by monsters.

This is one of the largest rivers in the Principality of Alan. According to Alan's request, there is a small and medium waterfall.

This made Alan quite satisfied.

Where there is water, waterwheels can naturally be placed.

Don't look at the inconspicuous waterwheel, this thing is the crystallization of human wisdom and can provide power.

And its own metallurgical plant also needs to use waterwheels to provide some power.

In addition, waterwheels also play a significant role in agriculture. It can easily irrigate a large number of farmlands. If some canals are being built, it will be great for the development of agriculture.

It can be said that one thing has multiple uses. After all, it is produced by the system, and their effect far exceeds that of ordinary waterwheels.

"boom!"

The sound of the waterfall is very loud, but it does not affect the communication between Alan and Oliver.

"This place is good, if possible, we can get a hydroelectric power plant..."

Alan stroked his chin and looked at the waterfall in front of him.

It's just that electricity is like oil to Alan.

This thing Alan knows it works, but how?

Although the buildings produced by the system can also train the technical operation staff of the department.

But it's just an operator, and no one has the real technology.

Besides, in this magical world, many powers can completely replace electricity, and even the buildings produced by Alan's system, even the metallurgical plants, are different from those on the earth in the previous life.

The metallurgical factory after the magic reform has more or less the style of this world, and the required energy can be completely replaced by the magic stone.

"power plant?"

Oliver is a little confused on the side, what is this?

Alan shook his head: "Forget about the power plant, it's good here. 99

Alan abandoned the power plant.

"That's good, Archduke. Besides here, I've also picked some places on the rivers of the Principality of Alan."

Oliver held the map of the Principality of Alan in his hand. There were a lot of rivers in the Principality of Alan, and the densely packed locations were marked in red, and this was just one of them.

"Oh, it looks good 々~. 35

Alan patted Oliver on the shoulder: "Surprise is very good, Oliver.

"Just to not disappoint the Grand Duke.

Oliver smiled slightly.

"Show me the map."

Alan took the map in his hand.

There are not only the marks of water flow on it, but also the marks of some plain places with strong wind elements.

It can be seen that the Minister of Industry works very hard.

"Very well, Oliver, you did not disappoint me.

Alan said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I'll build some large waterwheels here, don't waste this waterfall."

Alan said and walked to the edge of the waterfall and chose a position. The next moment, a white light emerged, and a huge circular waterwheel appeared in front of everyone.

"This?!"

Oliver's eyes widened, compared to other ministers who had been with Alan for a long time, his time with Alan was very short.

Although he understands Alan's terrifying strength and bloody means.

But he really hadn't seen Alan perform miracles in public.

"miracle!

"This is a miracle!"

Oliver's big bald head oozes out a layer of fine sweat, and his chubby face has become even more red.

This is probably how ordinary people see miracles.

Alan ignored Oliver, he just observed the appearance of this large waterwheel, it was not bad, the material is of high quality and won't rot after soaking in water for hundreds of years.

And the most important thing is that this waterwheel is huge.

"A large waterwheel can solve the irrigation problem of tens of thousands of acres of land, and can also provide some power to the metallurgical plant."

Alan is still satisfied with this.

"Grand Duke, what building is this?"

Oliver asked.

"Waterwheels, tools that harness water power, are used to irrigate farmland and to power metallurgical plants."

Alan explained.

"Waterwheel? Can I irrigate farmland?

Oliver's eyes lit up, he was not stupid, and soon discovered the mystery of the waterwheel.

"It turns out that your wisdom and divine power are amazing."

Oliver was slightly moved.

"Oliver, this thing is related to both industry and agriculture. I have found before that it is too laborious for the commoners to irrigate the farmland or manually transport the river water.

Alan smiled: "Because Bacchus is still in Moorland, you also know that he is trying to complete the plan of four crops a year, so you can deal with the waterwheel together, whether it is agricultural or industrial.

Alan spoke to Oliver.

"It's natural, if you need it, I can do whatever it is.

Oliver said respectfully.

"Very well, you will need to convene the civilians in the surrounding cities and towns later. We need to dig channels so that the water flow can be better and more efficient to irrigate the farmland. As for what a canal is..."

Alan told Oliver some of the water channel knowledge he had mastered. After Oliver heard it, a trace of light flashed in his eyes.

"."Really great wisdom! Waterwheels, canals, this way, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources, which is a great thing for agriculture. Don't worry, my lord, I will immediately call the civilians here to build the canals. 99

“No, it should be the construction of the canals all over the country, which is a big project. 35

Oliver finally understands why Alan asked him to find some suitable places throughout the principality.

The grand duke's wisdom is terrifying.

"Well, don't worry, although the waterwheel is also of great help to agriculture, but, don't forget, you are the Minister of Industry."

Alan looked at the excited Minister of Industry in front of him who wanted to act immediately and said with a smile.

"Yes, I am the Minister of Industry."5

Oliver was stunned for a moment: "Grand Duke, what is the metallurgical plant you just said? Does it have anything to do with industry (Ciannuo's)?

Alan nodded: "Of course, but before buying a manufacturing metallurgical plant, we need to cultivate some special talents."

"Special talent?"

Oliver became more and more confused: "Sir, isn't the school where talents are cultivated?"

"No, unlike students, they are workers.

As Alan spoke, he built two more large waterwheels under the waterfall.

The waterwheel is huge, and only three waterwheels can be accommodated under this small and medium-sized waterfall.

After doing this, Alan took Oliver away from the waterfall and headed for a small town not far away.

He now needs to build some junior metallurgical plant knowledge and technology training bases, which are used to train workers who can work in junior metallurgical plants.

Before building a metallurgical plant, Alan needs to train some employees to work for him.

That's why he asked Oliver to recruit some young people first.
