Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

There are many people who want to help with the test run.

Whether they want to show off in front of the Duke and Duchess, or are really interested in new things like trains.

Of course, the knights of the Order of Augusta are indispensable.

Responsible for the internal security of the Duke and Duchess, they must be familiar with every means of transportation used by the Duke.

The Augusta knights who exist as internal security are different from what ordinary people imagine.

Many knights took off their full knight armor and used long and short guns, which is completely different from the impression of many people.

All kinds of test personnel got on the train.

The technicians chattered non-stop, and a group of people gathered together to discuss something.

In the front locomotive car, there were also a bunch of coolies working hard to fill coal.

"Speed ​​up, speed up, it would be better to speed up a little faster."

"The stability is very good, the technology of the rails is enough, and we can study the increase of load next."

"It's the peak speed, but it's a pity that it can't be faster."

The technicians chattered like crazy, and from time to time they spit out some professional terms that others couldn't understand.

This made several administrative officials sit a little further away subconsciously.

They didn't like dealing with these technicians, who were as smelly and hard as stones in the toilet.

The inner guards in black clothes approached the technicians and listened carefully. Another inner guard took out a small notebook and kept writing something with a pen.

Don't think that the inner guards are all from the Knights, and they can only swing the giant sword to chop people.

Those who can stay with Derek are the elite of the elite, receiving more attention and developing many skills.

For an important means of transportation such as the train, according to the Duke's intention, I'm afraid there will be no fewer opportunities to ride in the future.

The inner guards attach great importance to it and must understand all the details clearly.

They even plan to send people to learn driving skills, and they will be responsible for the operation of the train in the future.

Although it is a test model, it took them forty minutes to reach the outside of Plan City.

There were already soldiers of the Guards Infantry Regiment on the platform, and there were almost no onlookers.

The inner guard wrote down the speed in the small notebook again...

It took another forty minutes to wait for the train to return, and a total of one and a half hours to go back and forth including the stop.

It seems slower than riding a horse, but most people travel by carriage, which actually has advantages in speed and comfort.

Most importantly, it has an overwhelming advantage in passenger capacity.

If it is attached to a truck bed, the advantage will be even greater.

Outside Swan Castle, Derek and his wife had just rested for a while when the train came back.

No one thought the roar of the train was noisy, but rather a symbol of advancement and dignity.

What came out of the black chimney was not the pollution that everyone disliked, but a symbol of civilization.

It can only be said that each era has its own mark, and the perspective of looking at problems is completely different.

After the technicians reported the first official test run to Derek, there will be a series of tests.

Only after ensuring complete safety will the Duchy and his wife be allowed to use it.

As the heavy snow began to fall, the New Year was about to arrive.

This year is the second year of the Duchy, but everyone has become accustomed to the existence of the Northern Duchy, as if it has been passed down from ancient times to the present.

For people living near Plan City, this New Year has new things to talk about.

The railroad outside the city is constantly extending. The first official two-way railroad runs from Plan City to Augusta City and then to Port Degen.

Although it takes a detour, the technicians have evaluated that this railway can speed up the transportation of goods, activate the market, and reduce transportation costs.

Moreover, there are trains running back and forth every day on the special line from Swan Castle to Plan City.

From the initial test model to the gradual exchange of goods, the Duke and Duchess also tried to use it several times.

It runs smoothly and is very convenient, especially in winter, and the comfort is much better than that of a carriage.

Even the giant carriage contributed by Duke Fernandez is not as comfortable as a train.

In Swan Castle, Duchess Tiona personally carried a plate and knocked on the door of the study.

"Madam."

Everyone in the room stood up to show respect.

Only Derek and Archbishop John were still sitting.

Tiona glanced and smelled the smoke in the room again.

Obviously, the discussion just now was very intense.

"I see you haven't come out all afternoon, so I'll bring you some snacks." Tiona put the plate in front of Derek and Archbishop John, and sat in the chair behind Derek naturally.

The other maids who followed put the snacks in their hands in front of other people and politely backed out.

Derek saw that his wife might be in trouble.

But the topic at the moment has not ended yet, so he can only continue.

Archbishop John glanced at Tiona and ignored the Duchess. He was more pure and didn't need to consider too many worldly issues.

A childless person with a firm faith who is not afraid of death does not need to please anyone.

"I still stick to my opinion. A higher education institution of the church needs to be established to spread the gospel of the Lord and the saints.

Other primary schools should be at least in every town."

"Archbishop John, the finances can't afford it. The budget for next year has exceeded the budget. If the Duke's Mansion hadn't directly allocated an additional expenditure, the Duchy government could have declared bankruptcy."

"You can save a little bit in other places, but not in faith."

"I have no faith, don't mention this to me."

Financial officials are all useless. If you talk about faith with them, you will be wrong. Archbishop John is helpless.

He is not used to using his status to pressure people, otherwise he would definitely be able to deduct a sum of money.

Derek was a little dizzy from the quarrel. Seeing that the two parties could not reach an agreement, he could only make his own decision.

"For the time being, we will finance the school from the Duke's Palace and open a comprehensive institution in Plan City. Technology has developed rapidly in recent years, and a comprehensive institution is needed to integrate educational resources.

As for church subjects, a separate church college is set up, and the church schools below follow the same rules. "

With money in his hands, Derek felt much more confident in speaking.

Thanks to the gold mines in the New World, the gold coins minted by the Northern Principality are constantly sucking blood from other countries.

There was no blood in the currency war, and blood was slowly but surely drawn to supply the Northern Principality.

In this way, it is equivalent to other countries paying for education for the Northern Principality.

Derek could only apologize for this, and he could only continue to suffer the people of other countries, let the Northern Principality become rich first, and then he would lead everyone to become rich together.

The main problem has been solved, and the rest are minor details.
