Release that Witch Chapter 1041: Scars

"Company ..." Roland whispered.

"What?" Victor said for a moment, "If you have any doubts, I can explain it again"

"No need," he waved, "This is indeed an interesting plan, at least it seems to be fine. How long can you get the funds ready for implementation?"

Victor's eyes suddenly glowed with joy, "I know you can understand it, please forgive me, Your Majesty, if you are also a businessman, your achievements will never be under any big chamber of commerce!"

This metaphor seems to lower the identity of King, but placing the other party at the top of his expertise is an expression of high recognition in noble etiquette, and it can be regarded as an undisguised flattery.

At the moment, Roland has another idea in mind: isn't this the next large industrial company?

Settlement with technology, spontaneous recruitment, organization of production and marketing, independent profit and loss ... He did not expect to hear such a complete idea in a contemporary population. The biggest difference with the Chamber of Commerce is that the plan merges production and sales, which can be said to be the embryonic form of modern private enterprises.

This may be a great opportunity.

In the past four years, his territory has achieved great development, but gradually the expose has a shortcoming that the Executive Office has almost everything. Any project requires the administrative department to control, from the preparation of the number of people to the allocation of budgets, these complicated work regulations occupy most of the officials' time. With the continuous expansion of the project scale, the organization will inevitably become more bloated, and the administrative efficiency will be reduced accordingly.

This can be regarded as a common problem of "state-owned enterprises". Once the profits and losses have nothing to do with the participants, stability becomes everything. It has the advantage of ignoring returns and being determined by the will of the upper layers. It can quickly meet the needs in the early stages and can also be used to overcome those risky strategic projects in the later stages, but it does not mean that it is omnipotent.

This is one of the reasons why Roland is fully developing heavy industry and agriculture in Neverwinter City, but light industry rarely pays much attention. Apart from the limited labor population, the administrative department has been unable to provide so many officials to cope with the expansion of industrial types.

After all, ordering is simple, but it's just a sentence, but it really needs to be implemented. Even if you build an additional steam engine assembly plant, you need a whole set of staff to support it.

Now he has new options.

The method of attracting investment has not been used, and someone has taken the initiative to bring it to him. Of course, Roland has no reason to easily refuse.

Although this "company" has a family background abroad, it will inevitably cause a certain outflow of gold royal after making a profit, but as long as its production departments are all within Greycastle, this is not a problem.

After reaching the initial intent, Roland personally sent Victor to the gate of the castle. "After you prepare, I think the new cotton seeds should be cultivated. But I have to explain in advance if there are other merchants in the future If you plan to emulate you, the Administration will also sell seeds to them at the same price. The richer the products on the market, the more affordable the price will be. You should know this more clearly than me. "

"Of course, Your Majesty," Victor's eyes showed confidence, "Dawn businessmen have never been afraid of competition. My father always said that the competition has begun from the moment we were born."

When he was going to retire, Roland suddenly called him again, "Yes, I want to ask you a question. My minister found that you had a record of paying taxes to Longsong Stronghold six years ago. Why? ? If you want to save this amount at that time, it should be easy for you, right? "

Victor nodded, "But feudal lord promised at that time that as long as he paid taxes in accordance with the amount, he would provide some convenience and protection for the caravans between Bianyu and Longsong. He did so at that time This cost can at least eliminate the threat of beasts and the trouble of peer attacks. I always feel that paying a little price to obtain a stable and orderly rule is actually a good thing for businessmen. Unfortunately, there are many People would rather invest large sums of money in unworthy goods than treat rules as a cost. "

It really is an interesting person. Looking at the back of the businessman leaving, Roland can't help thinking. If there are such people as examples, the Greycastle's "private enterprise" should also usher in a period of rapid and energetic development.

Just as he was planning to return to the office, the anxious voice of Nightingale suddenly sounded in his ear, "Your Majesty, Lightning is back, she seems to be in trouble"

"What situation?" Roland asked quickly.

"It's not clear ... I just received a Silvie subpoena. After being brought back by Macy, she sent it directly to Medical Institute!"

His heart sank immediately, "She was injured? Take me there now!"

"Yes," Nightingale reached out and grabbed him, then the two drew into the mist together.

...

After arriving at Medical Institute to the west of the city, Roland saw the little girl lying on the hospital bed.

The moment he opened the door, his worry was relieved. Lightning looked intact, there were no obvious scars or blood on her face, and her chest was still undulating, which meant that she would not have What a big deal. Even if the investigation is truly dangerous, it is now safe.

But he soon noticed something wrong.

Nana did not complete the relief after the treatment at all, but frowned, looking down at his both hands, a puzzled look.

Macy was lying on the bed nervously, wiping Lightning's forehead with his hands, and shrinking his neck into his clothes when he saw Roland, he only noticed that he did something wrong. Then, the other side continued to emit fine sweat, and the slightly opened lips and teeth were groaning as if immersed in a nightmare.

"What's going on?" Roland looked at Nana, "Where did Lightning hurt?"

The latter comes from raised head, slowly pointing to his chest.

"Nightingale."

"Yes." Nightingale stepped forward, carefully picked up Lightning, helped her take off that special windbreaker jacket, and then untied the lining a little. Just as she fell to the collarbone, she couldn't help but stop, "Your Majesty, this is"

Roland was close to the bed, and a thumb-sized wound was found at the **** below the Lightning neck. Compared to the white skin around, this scar is particularly eye-catching, but if you look closely, it doesn't even hurt the muscle layer, it just breaks the epidermis, which is a kind of minor injury that will heal if left alone.

Theoretically, healing such a wound is nothing more than a blink of an eye for Nana.

But her next sentence left Roland in place.

"I can't cure her ..." Nana murmured, "No matter how you drive magic power, you can't make the wound disappear, as if my ability has failed."
