Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 347: carriage track
Chapter 347 carriage track
On August 17th, Princess Sylvia and Fina Garry, Anna Dilly, Daisy, Maria's four daughters returned to Boulder Castle.
Northern Land's southern area was the highlight of the whole Northern Land. The former Northern Land Grand Duke(s) Loggins family and Northern Land Aristocrat(s) built many manor castles there. After Territory replacement, the entire Northern Land fell into the hands of Norton Family, these manor castles also belong to the name of Lorist.
After re-planning the entire Northern Land development plan, demolished 27 manor castles that affected the development plan or were of little importance, leaving 11 beautiful and famous manor castles. . This time Lorist let Princess Sylvia and the four servants choose the eleven manor castles.
Cherry Blossom Mountain Range Manor is known as the most beautiful manor of Northern Land. Every year after the rainy season, flowers bloom in the mountains, the fragrance is floating, and the trees are full of trees. Passing by the mountain wind, the petals dance together, dreamlike, known as Yingling wonders. Although Princess Sylvia's trip is long past the flowering season, Princess Sylvia can't help but be full of cherry trees. It's just that this Cherry Blossom Mountain Range Manor was originally a place where Shaheen.Hennard Count Jinwu hides her, and often sleeps with his five servants here. Princess Sylvia deliberately rectified the entire main fortress for this aversion, making it more in line with his own heart.
The excited Princess Sylvia has been walking around Lorist, describing the scenery of Cherry Blossom Mountain Range Manor, plus the other four women have also picked the manor that they are satisfied with, and they compare with each other without any weakness, which makes the Lorist a headache. Finally, the excuses of busy work drove the five women out of the study to get themselves clean. But before they went out, they unanimously stated that Lorist renamed the Northern Land capital Jill Dusk City to City of Roaring Bear. It was too bad, and it was not as pleasing as those who built the city called Angry Bear City.
"Uh ... City of Roaring Bear is hard to hear?" Lorist shrugged at Charade.
"It's a bit awkward, it sounds weird." Charade said honestly that the name from Lorist is not good, and it's not level.
"But why are the laborers who built the city called Angry Bear City?" Lorist felt a little strange. The roaring bear felt more culturally than the angry bear.
"Have you forgotten the angry bear statue on the central square of the city, the angry bear square, and then derived as Angry Bear City. In fact, in addition to the front of the hall and in the official document, the family Knight(s) and officials are also called in private. Angry Bear City, simple and convenient. "Charade tells Lorist a embarrassing reality.
Lorist conceded: "Well, I admit that I don't have the talent and talent to name. In this case, I will change my name to Angry Bear City. I don't care if it's my name ..."
"Sir, this is only a trivial matter. I will send a document notice and it will be over. We just discussed the transfer of Angry Bear Knight Regiment to Boulder Castle. Can you see what else you should pay attention to?" Charade reminded.
Angry Bear Knight Regiment was originally stationed at blade edge Castle, which is the castle built after the two hilltops were cut off next to Beihai City. The reason for arranging there was to protect Beihai City, taking into account Turtle Mountain Fort and Crouching Bull Mound Fort after being attacked by the Mountain Barbarian tribe Can immediately carry out reinforcements and counterattacks. However, Mountain Barbarian already was destroyed by the entire army, and it will not be possible to invade the family Territory in the next one or two decades. At this time, putting Angry Bear Knight Regiment in blade edge castle is also a waste. Lorist has to move to Angry Bear City again, just to vacate Boulder Castle, Angry Bear Knight Regiment moved to the camp is logical.
Lorist ticked the document with a pen and signed his name: "OK, let Terman come with Angry Bear Knight Regiment, the first battalion of the guard here will move to blade edge castle, but it will be fine. But September Beginning on the 15th, the family members of all administrative departments and officials of Boulder Castle will be relocated to Angry Bear City, all this will be left to you.
Charade nodded: "No problem, already has started to be packaged in many departments, and one month has ample time."
"As soon as Angry Bear City arrives, I will be preparing to host my wedding with Sylvia, and I will also receive guests. I hope everything is prepared and nothing will go wrong.
"Relax, Your Highness, we have already made a plan, who is responsible for what already knows."
Knocking sounded, Gennario came in Reported: "His Royal Highness, Hanks Baron came to see you ..."
Hanks Baron was furious when he came in. He felt that he had done a good job in the seat of the governor of Silowas Islands, but he was sacked by Lorist. Did n’t he oppose you marrying a wife and marrying a family enemy woman? There are so many women in the world, but you have found the most unsuitable one. As the most loyal family member of Norton Family, you have a valid argument against it. I did not expect that you not only did not accept my allegations, but also stripped me of my post. What a reason!
Hanks Baron was frightened to report to Lorist. He is going to have a good theory with Lorist. Even if he angers Lorist and is deprived of his title, he will not hesitate. As the most loyal family member of Norton Family, he will let everyone Everyone saw his stubborn iron bones and a cavity of red faithfulness.
"Sir, greet you." Hanks Baron sent a courtesy to Lorist.
"Director of Hanks , I have been thinking about you, and now you're finally here, I'm assured. Come, sit down, Silowas Islands's affairs are already all right?" Lorist laughed kindly and did not seem to see Hanks Baron An expression of anger, and the title was not called his knighthood, but called his previous position in the family as a sign of closeness.
"Gennario, serve tea to Hanks supervisor." Lorist commanded.
"No need, Your Highness." Hanks Baron answered with a stern face: "I have completed the transfer of Silowas Islands's affairs, already and Governor Hickard, because I have to wait for his arrival, so I will not return to report until now."
"Well, that's all right. The Hanks supervisor has been working hard all the way, tired for the family so long, so take a break and take a rest." Lorist politely.
"My Highness, I should do something for the family. I would like to ask, what is the family's next arrangement for me?" Supervisor Hanks said.
Lorist stood up: "Yes, our family already owns the entire Northern Land. In the next two years, we will carry out the overall development and construction of the entire Northern Land. You see here, Hanks supervisor."
Lorist refers to a pair of Northern Land maps hanging on the wall: "If you want to be rich, repair the road first. Only with convenient and fast transportation and road facilities can Northern Land be connected into a strong unit, which can not only complete the supply of materials. The transportation can make the family armed forces quickly reach any place of Northern Land when needed. This map is the entire new transportation road facility system that Northern Land is going to build, connecting the entire Northern Land into a network. The family plans to invest one million gold fordes. This project is related to the future of our Norton Family hero Northern Land. In my mind, no one can take on this task except you. That ’s why I transferred you back from Silowas Islands. "
This is the so-called general in chess. The original Hanks supervisor who was full of grievances suddenly dissipated half of the anger. It turned out that Lorist had killed his Silowas Islands governor position. He was not going to refrigerate or punish him. The responsibility for the future of the family lies with himself. At this time, the director of Hanks finally took a look at Charade sitting on the sofa next to him, with a stern smile on his face: "His Royal Highness, I don't necessarily need to take this heavy responsibility, you can look at Charade Baron ..."
"No, he can't!" Lorist vetoed, ignoring the Charade sitting on the sofa and rolling his eyes: "It's awkward, he doesn't have this qualification. This is a big responsibility for the family to dominate the entire Northern Land, and to maintain peace and order in the next century Although Charade Baron is good at handling political affairs, but he has no experience in managing such a large project, it is not as stable as your mature. Looking at all the officials of the family, Speer supervisor has a financial hand, but it is not the material of management engineering, Kedan supervisor Responsible for personnel affairs, but also layman for project management. It really is Governor Hickard, Steward Boris may have this ability.
But think about it, one is your junior, Hickd is your deputy. One I ca n’t really trust him. After all, Steward Boris was originally a Kenmays Family man, and after he was captured, he trusted in our family. Although he was diligent and diligent, we could n’t determine his loyalty. This is a big project that affects the family ’s future prosperity. Can it be put into their hands? Others have proposed Shadekampf, but I think that this proposal has also been rejected. His identity is only my servant, and is not qualified to compare with you at all. So in my mind, you are the only suitable person to chair this large project. "
The director of Hanks smiled with flowers, and the praise of Lorist gave him a sense of loneliness in the family. No one can stand on his own loneliness, and the person in charge of the large-scale project that has been flourishing for hundreds of years is the owner of me. . The grievance in the stomach has long since disappeared, but his face must be modest: "Your Highness, you have won the prize. In fact, I think anyone can do this project, and I do not necessarily need to be responsible. Like Shadekampf, Steward Boris they are all responsible Presided over the development and construction of road traffic, maybe they are more suitable than me ... "
Lorist shook his head: "Director Hanks , this project is not as simple as you think. If it is an ordinary road, it can really be anyone. But this road that our family wants to build is unique. Grindia Continent history A kind of transportation facility that has never appeared in the past. Once the construction is completed, the name will be kept in the history and it will be beautiful. This is why I insist that you take charge of the hosting.
What? Is it possible to build a road transportation facility? Is this possible? At most, it is only mentioned in the family records. Grindia Continent common calendar In the past few years, the Northern Land transportation road facilities project in charge of the Hanks director was completed. This project perfected the entire Northern Land road traffic and enabled Northern Land's commercial and commercial circulation More convenient and faster ...
Is that exaggerated? Looking at the inexplicable look of the Hanks director, Lorist laughed: "Hanks director, come and take a closer look at the road design ..."
Supervisor Hanks stared at it for a long time, and finally found something wrong: "His Royal Highness, why should the roads in the same direction be built large and small?"
"Oh, director Hanks , this is the new road of our family's new invention-carriage orbit. Come, come here, there are physical models."
The room next to the study was opened by Lorist and became a physical exhibition room. As soon as the Hanks supervisor followed Lorist into the door, he saw a sand table occupying most of the room in front of him. This is the topographic sand table of Northern Land. The supervisor of Hanks is very familiar with it, that is Boulder Castle, this is Maple Wood Villa, that is Beihai City, this is the southern area of Northern Land ... But this sand table is still strangely wound with iron wires for several times.
"Look, this is the carriage track." Lorist said, pointing at the wire on the sand table.
The director of Hanks only realized that this was not a round iron wire, but an I-shaped wire. Well, I'm old and my eyes are not good enough. Maybe it's time to go to the head of the glass workshop, the technician Mancheni, to get a pair of reading glasses. I heard that the so-called reading glasses are very helpful for the eyesight of the elderly. The new Governor of Bhutan Bada's Steward Boris was equipped with several pictures, and he refused to take them off the nose all day ...
"His Highness, what's the use of this carriage track?" Supervisor Hanks didn't understand for a long time.
"This is the latest invention of Julien Grand-master. It was originally designed for mining and will pull mining trucks full of ore into deep mines, without the need for human backs or livestock hauling, greatly reducing The cost of mining. Later I thought it was a good idea and suggested that he use it on flat ground. After two years of testing, he finally got the samples and models. After evaluation, we found that if this carriage is used in Northern Land On the track, whether it is material transportation or passenger travel, it will reduce the cost by two-thirds and greatly improve the efficiency several times.
Lorist picked up a carriage model from the table next to it: "Look, Hanks supervisor, the wheels of this carriage are not wooden, but a round iron frame. The front of this iron frame is recessed. Yes, it is just inlaid on the raised carriage track. You see, I connected the four carriage s and put them on the carriage track to push them lightly. The four carriage s went forward.
"But Your Highness, this carriage can also move on flat ground. There is no need to use this track," said the director of Hanks .
"No, the efficiency is different." Lorist explained: "On the track, four horses can pull these four cars, while on the flat ground each carriage requires four horses, but the speed is not as good. The carriage on the track is 12 horses in and out. For example, it took more than two days for us to ride to the south of Northern Land before the road was built, and it took five or six days to walk. It was delayed due to rain and snow. If you want to take four carriage s, you still need a dozen grooms and servants to take care of these horses. It takes at least three to four days to arrive. But I used this carriage Track, plus a station at forty or fifty miles, then you can rush to the southern part of Northern Land in two days. "
The director of Hanks still has this vision. I know how much the transportation cost of the carriage track can be saved. But he still has two questions: "His Royal Highness, the wheels of this carriage have turned into round iron frames, so will there be any impact on the flat ground, or will it affect the re-entry of the carriage track after passing on flat ground? There is also a question, this carriage track needs to lay such two iron tracks, will the cost be too high for the family ... "
Lorist nodded, and picked up two rope-shaped circles from the table: "Director Hanks , your scruples are right. But we have considered both of the two issues you mentioned, already. These are two resin tires, which are a bit flexible. If carriage is going to be on the flat ground, we will put these two tires on the wheels, not only to absorb shocks, but also to prevent the iron wheel frame from being worn on flat ground. The difficulty is that the price is slightly higher. A resin tire requires a large silver coin(s), but there are alternatives, such as wood or straw rope wrapped around the car. Although it can not shock, it can also prevent the wheel frame from wearing.
The two small tires of the Lorist are mounted on the wheels of the carriage model: "You see, that's it. As for the cost of the carriage track you mentioned, we also considered it. Unlike the avenue, For carriage orbits, we charge externally. For saving time and transportation costs, businessmen will be happy to pay this toll. Of course, we will not charge too much for this toll. Basically, we charge based on the amount of carriage . It is estimated that the cost of road construction can be recovered in two to three years, and the service life of a carriage track is about ten years, so in the next six or seven years, we have collected profits.
"Supervisor Hanks, this is why I said that the construction of this big project will make a famous history, Fang Baishi. The new traffic thing carriage will appear for the first time Northern Land, and it will be in the history of traffic roads of Grindia Continent. I left a thick and glorious page. After considering it for a long time, I finally decided that the person who can take on this heavy responsibility is not yours. Do you have any opinions and opinions? "Lorist asked solemnly.
"His Royal Highness ..." The director of Hanks was full of feelings of the death of his confidant, and he was in a state of excitement and blurted out: "I promise that I will complete this glorious and important task. Please be assured of your highness, I will not let you down. . "
"It is indeed the mainstay of our Norton Family!" Lorist is relieved: "The responsibility for this family's century-long plan will be entrusted to you. The design department, the supervision department, and the engineering department are all already ready, and you can tomorrow Take office, start this work ... "
"No, Your Highness, I'm going now, it's too late tomorrow." Director Hanks , with a sacred sense of mission, solemnly saluted to Lorist, and turned away and strode away.
