Release that Witch Chapter 543: Knee point

Roland When I saw Barov again, it felt like I saw another person.

Not only does his expression look radiant, but his chest has also been raised a lot. There is a sound of stride between the steps, and a burst of self-confidence is blown at his face.

It seems that he is very content with for several days in Kingdom Capital.

"I knew that, so I should have called you back later." Roland joked.

"No, Your Majesty, City of Dawn is no more prosperous than Neverwinter City created by you." Barov shook his beard. "No matter where I am, my heart is always with you."

Why is this ... sounds so weird?

He coughed twice, changing the topic, "How about situation over there?"

"Relax, there are my apprentices and First Army, the newly appointed noble can't move even if you want to make trouble," Prime Minister said proudly, "I also deliberately relaxed their space for power and profit as long as it does not interfere with City of Dawn people's livelihood The matter is running normally then it will be alright. It is estimated that for a long time in the future, they will fight for sesame power, after all, before that, they were not even qualified to enter City Hall.

"This is a good way." Roland laughed.

He knows a few things about political checks and balances, but he knows that it will definitely not work better than these old foxes who have been in politics for a long time, even if they are not the most cunning foxes. The skin is thick enough and the means are vicious. It can be said that until now, Barov has exerted all his talents.

Thanks to the identity of the monarch of a country, Roland can completely do not have to get involved in dirty political tricks. As long as it holds personnel, lawmaking and military power in its hands, no one dares to deny his authority.

"Your Majesty, can I ask, where did you send Minister of Finance Lauren Moore?" Barov wish to continue sighed, "The court etiquette officer said you did not execute him."

"He deducted the relief rations given to the people, colluded with the former Imperial Prime Minister, and forced the refugees to have his share." Roland shrugged. "Sin is not dead, an old age is not suitable for mining site, and he is simply expelled Out of bounds. "

"That's ... unfortunate."

"Why, do you want to use him?"

"Of course not. Lauren is quite influential in Kingdom Capital. I'm not sure that those little noble can hold him down," Barov shook his head with a smile, "It's just that he, as my mentor, has pressed me so long, I didn't see his expression of surprise, remorse, and forgiveness, and I felt a little bit sorry.

Roland couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I think he should go to Kingdom of Dawn with his family, maybe you will have a chance to meet in the future. Not to mention this, I want you to come back to build a few factories, They are related to the next series of major transformations of Neverwinter City. "

"Many people are needed?"

"Yes, otherwise I just order Karl then it will be alright," he nodded, "at least 3,000 people are needed."

Barov smiled bitterly, "Only you will ask for it like this. Other cities simply have impossible industries that invest 3,000 people at once."

"The good news is that these 3,000 people don't need to be all literate, as long as more than 200 people have completed citizen of primary education."

"What do you want to build?"

Roland put the prepared notebook in front of him, "Coke plant, steel plant and forging plant."

"Is not enough steel produced by Miss Anna?" Barov asked.

"Not enough, but too wasteful," Roland sighed. "Her magic power should be invested in higher-end manufacturing, not on steam engine materials. I plan to achieve the release of basic industrial products this year. witch. "

Neverwinter City's industry is now at an inflection point. Without a breakthrough, it can be said that it is difficult to make progress. The reason is that the source power machinery is still inseparable from the Anna material support, resulting in the scale cannot be further expanded. In fact, steam engine is not used as well. The original steel, small town, was made of cast iron.

Now the prerequisites for breakthrough have been met, coking can be achieved with coal mines, and coke is the main material for large-scale steelmaking; the dozen or so earth blast furnaces in the furnace zone can also supply sufficient pig iron ingots If a set of processes for smelting steel with a simple converter and forging components that can be directly processed by other factories are recycled by the steam hammer of a forging plant, Anna can be completely liberated and production can be achieved solely by ordinary people. Process.

Roland After roughly explaining the main work of the three projects, Barov quickly understood the meaning of de-witchization.

"I see, but Your Majesty, can these really be achieved?" he wondered, "We can get steel so easily without relying on the power of Devil cough, witch? You may not know, in other cities , It ’s no surprise that the price of a piece of forged steel is twenty times more expensive than pig iron. "

Steel of this era was knocked out by the blacksmith with a hammer and a hammer. By repeatedly pounding the pig iron ingot, the excess carbon and impurities in the iron were oxidized by air to form steel. Of course, the efficiency of this process is extremely low, a lot of raw materials will be wasted, and a lot of iron will fall off due to oxidation, resulting in several iron ingots can only produce a usable steel. Therefore, a set of steel body armor is the pursuit of life of most Knight, can also be passed down from generation to generation.

From a certain perspective, the method of forging into steel can give people the illusion that the essence is the essence. Now Neverwinter City can produce "a lot of" steel, which is credited to witch by most people. The skepticism of Barov is not difficult to understand, but for Roland, steel is only iron with different carbon content.

"Of course it is not easy. Whether it is coking or converter steelmaking, it is a technology that needs to be explored repeatedly, but ..." Roland paused, "These projects will certainly be realized. By then, the industrial zone will count hundreds of chimneys. One month of steel production can exceed the output of a whole year now. We will use an inexhaustible amount of steel, bicycles, ships, all kinds of machines, and even houses, everything you see will be made of steel Manufacture, it will enter everyone's home, even ordinary people can use steel utensils and tools. "

Barov for a while, and then he said, "I will draw up a recruitment plan and financial allocation for your review as soon as possible."

"Yeah, the preparatory work for this matter is up to you," Roland encouraged.

When he reached the door of the office, he suddenly turned around and stroked his chest again.

"If I can really see such a world, it will be my pleasure, Your Majesty."
