Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 634 Private Banquet
"Today's speech was very successful. Congratulations to both of you for laying the foundation for victory in advance." After the speech, Perfect invited Kallen and the prime minister candidate from the North as planned, and spoke politely to them.

Because it was in a public place, Kallen did not show her familiarity with Perfectcot, but just politely accepted her courtesy.

On the other hand, the Prime Minister candidate from the North showed a considerable degree of respect when facing Perfectocote, but he did not seem fawning and he knew the right measure.

This made Perfectot praise him highly, and he couldn't help but praise him: "Mr. Wellington, this is the first time we meet, right? Your speech is impressive. It can be seen that you should be a civil servant who is deeply involved in practical work. I think it will be a blessing for the people of the empire if you become the Prime Minister of the Empire.

"Your Excellency is too kind. I only have a little insignificant experience. I am still far behind a genius like you who built the entire North from scratch in three years. If I can really be elected, please give me your support, Your Excellency." Wellington is not the prime minister yet, so he is very humble in front of Perfectcot.

Perfect didn't care about this. He just waved his hand and said a few polite words before extending the invitation: "I have prepared some wine in the lord's mansion. I hope you two will come."

Faced with the invitation from the Earl of the North, neither Wellington nor Kallen had any reason to refuse.

So the three of them got on Perfecto's carriage and returned to the lord's mansion together.

On the way, Perfectcot specifically asked the two how they traveled. After learning that they both took a public carriage every day, Perfectcot immediately said that he would give each of them a steam carriage for transportation.

This certainly had the suspicion of bribery, but for the Northern Lords, no one dared to cause trouble for Perfectot with such a thing, let alone bring up such a thing as an excuse.

Because this was just a small matter, Perfect could get over it by simply saying that the vehicle was temporarily borrowed and the ownership still belonged to the lord's mansion.

So both Wellington and Karen accepted it after some polite declines.

The purpose of using a public carriage was of course to show the people-friendliness and integrity, but in the weather in the North, riding a public carriage was still somewhat uncomfortable, and it was far less comfortable than the steam carriage donated by Perfectcot.

Of course, horses cannot withstand the current natural environment in the North. Public carriages basically only operate within the coverage area of ​​the urban heating field, and only when the weather is good.

If the weather is bad, these carriages will have to stop.

Because of this, the Chernobyl city government is considering replacing all public horse-drawn carriages with steam carriages so that a relatively stable public transportation system can be established.

The plan has now been submitted to Perfecto for approval. She has no objection to it. Establishing a public transportation system is indeed a good idea and will also be beneficial to urban development.

However, steam carriages are still too inefficient, so steam buses are a more suitable choice.

However, considering the various problems that occurred when the steam buses first came out in the original world, Perfectcot felt that he still needed to reconsider it.

Maybe we can consider using trams? Perfect has no particularly good ideas yet, so the matter has been put on hold for the time being. Perfect only approved the application for adding steam carriages as public transportation. After all, her hesitation here does not mean that there is no need to improve public transportation.

Moreover, it is inevitable that cars will replace horse-drawn carriages. Steam power is superior to animal power in every aspect, especially in this era.

"Please come in, both of you. The current situation is difficult, so we don't have anything good to offer. The other day, the people below sent us a doe, which is quite good. Please be sure to try it. The deer chops stewed by my chef are delicious!" Perfecto entertained them politely, and then took the two of them to the restaurant.

Although Perfect said that the simple hospitality was not up to par, after Wellington and Karen sat down, they still tasted quite delicious and rich dishes.

Although the meat was indeed scarce as Perfecto had said, with only fresh venison and a small amount of pickled and smoked meat, the various vegetables and fruits were not scarce, but rather very abundant.

This aroused Wellington's curiosity. Although Karen knew that these were all products of the lord's greenhouse, she still had to maintain an expression of disgust for the aristocratic extravagance and debauchery on her face.

Perfect simply explained a few words and then chatted with the two of them about some family matters, as if she was really just inviting them to dinner.

However, after the two had almost finished eating, Perfect changed the subject and told them the real point of today: "I believe both of you should know what happened in Langton. At that time, I took action together with Sandrion, the previous president of the Alchemy Association, but we still seemed powerless in the face of the gods. The threat of the evil god sect is obvious!
Although the situation in the North is relatively stable with the assistance of the church, the major colonies of the empire are not so peaceful and tranquil. This time Princess Anne went to suppress the colonies in various places, with the intention of clearing out the evil sects in various places to a large extent.

You two have the highest chance of being elected as prime minister in this election. If you are elected, please do your part in this regard and make due contributions to the stability of the imperial society and the development and survival of mankind."

This is the issue that Perfectcot is most concerned about. As long as she is there, there will definitely be no chaos in the North, but she cannot guarantee the rest of the empire.

The remaining power of the church in Langton has become like that. The church originally wanted to establish the kingdom of God on earth, but now it is a mess.

One can imagine what the other colonies of the empire would be like.

Although the news sent back by Princess Anne showed that the situation in the colonies was not that bad, Princess Anne quickly stabilized the local situation and brought them back under the empire.

But one crucial issue cannot be concealed, that is, the two flag teams of Divine Grace Knights sent by Perfecto have lost four members.

As for Princess Anne's own troops and the Empire's local troops in the colonies? Their losses were not even reported, but the actual situation is imaginable.

If we don't take this issue seriously now, by the time the evil cult gains a foothold in the Old World, the Empire will find it difficult to resist.

In particular, the infiltration of the major colonies by the evil god sect must be strictly investigated. The North had been hit before, and Perfectoct did not think that other colonies were capable of resisting.
