Chapter 323 New Arrangements
"How is the resettlement situation of the new immigrants?" On the airship, Purficott was flipping through a document with a relaxed and leisurely expression.

It has been two full months since the empire sent the first batch of new immigrants, almost spanning the entire summer.

During this period, Purficott did not intervene in the resettlement of new immigrants. She only sat in Belloberg at the beginning and handled some matters that required her to handle personally, and then handed over the rest of the work to the North. civil officials and let them take over everything.

In fact, there is no need for her to personally intervene. After all, the resettlement work is very complicated and must be specific to each person. These matters are not something that she, a lord, needs to personally intervene in.

All she needs to do is let the people below handle it, keep an eye on it to ensure that there will be no problems, and move forward according to her own will.

"At present, they have been properly resettled, and they have been provided with well-paid jobs and supporting housing in accordance with the empire's commitment." A civilian official answered Purficott's inquiry seriously, although these contents have already been written in on the document in Purficott's hand.

Purficott read the document at a glance, threw it on the table in front of him, and then looked out the window.

This airship was not the previous ones in the North, but a gift given to her by merchants from Langton.

A specially designed and customized luxury private airship is also a new product recently launched by businessmen who have obtained the airship construction license. It is currently said to be selling very well in the empire. Even the Queen and Princess Anne The princesses each ordered one.

Of course, Purficott did not think that Princess Anne would spend this money. It is more likely that the royal family purchased one for each member of the royal family.

As for whether this purchase was made with real money, or whether it was a nominal purchase that was actually a gift, that was not what Purficott cared about.

She only knows that these businessmen are really working hard to make money. Although this luxury private airship is not as good as the one she built herself, it is not bad at all, and in terms of functionality and luxurious interior decoration Even more so.

After all, the airship she used for herself was essentially an experimental functional verification machine used for escaping. It was indeed excellent in terms of performance, but in terms of comfort of living and use...

At that time, Purficott was just a young lady from a baron's family. Her property and available resources were limited, so what she could do was naturally limited.

And for Purficott, she is not the kind of person who pursues luxury. Naturally, she did not consider this aspect when designing the airship.

It's enough. Why do you want so much luxury? It's the end of the world. If you have the time to pursue enjoyment, why not increase your survival rate?

But businessmen are different. They are chasing profits, so they will naturally add more added value to the airship.

For example, the walnut tables and chairs that Purficott is currently using, or the fine velvet bedding in the specially prepared bedrooms on this airship.

The last time Purficott saw bedding of the same material was at the Royal Palace and Windsor Castle.

Although a set of high-quality velvet bedding is not affordable for Purficott, she is really not very interested in it and has no intention of pursuing this kind of enjoyment. She just leaves these to her loyal old housekeeper. To take care of it, she would just use whatever Foster prepared.

Not to mention the use of gold, silver and other precious metals as decoration on this private airship. Purficott even complained after inspecting the airship that if all the decorative parts were removed, the weight of the airship could even be reduced by 3%. It is conceivable that these businessmen spent a lot of money on this. How much energy.

You must know that decorating an airship is not just about piling all kinds of luxury materials on it. You also need to consider the load capacity of the airship itself.

Therefore, in addition to some decorations that can replace structural parts, many processes such as gold plating and silver inlay must turn the decoration into hollow.

As for the wallpaper on the walls and the wooden floors laid on the ground, although these may seem inconspicuous, for the entire airship, the total weight of each material is not a small number.

If you want to use expensive materials, you must consider various issues such as weight reduction and maintaining the strength of the airship, and ultimately find a suitable balance point.

One can imagine how much thought those businessmen put into this airship.

However, this did give Purficott some inspiration. These businessmen are also resources that can be used. As long as they are given enough benefits, they can do things for Purficott that she does not have time or is inconvenient to do. matter.

For example, the development of large-scale manned or cargo-carrying airships.

This requires investing a lot of resources and time. For Perfectcott himself, this is certainly not complicated, it just requires some sufficient thought and time.

But if the project is handed over to these businessmen and then told that the North and the Empire need to order a batch of such airships, Purficott believes that they will complete the relevant development tasks well.

And no matter from which aspect, the empire does need a batch of large-scale manned and cargo airships, which will play a very crucial role in the future doomsday winter.

After all, in the apocalyptic winter environment, airships are more suitable than all current means of transportation.

Although those businessmen have developed large-scale manned airships, the other party's design is still somewhat inadequate, and the size is not large enough to meet Purficott's requirements.

What she wants is an oversized mobile vehicle that can carry at least hundreds or even thousands of people at a time, at least as large as a cruise ship.

But now the manned airships that travel between the northern border and the mainland of the empire are limited by technology and scale. Although they are not impossible to use, they are somewhat useless to Purficott, or they are not so easy to use.

After all, their multi-airbag combined design is difficult to criticize. The design that is stuck at the limit makes Perfectcott feel uncomfortable no matter how he looks at it.

So she decided to ask those businessmen to redesign a design that satisfied her, and then she would consider ordering more airships in the official name of the empire.

But all this must be done as soon as possible, because time is getting shorter and shorter, only one and a half years left.
