Chapter 661 Two Wheels
Choosing different focuses for heavy industry and light industry does indeed mean choosing different routes.

The development of heavy industry is more like the foundation and pillar, which can lay a solid foundation for economic development.

It provides the development of light industry with the machinery and equipment, energy and some raw materials needed for non-agricultural light industrial production.

It can be said that the development of light industry is heavily dependent on the progress made by heavy industry. Without the development of heavy industry as a foundation, the progress of light industry would be out of the question or would be subject to others.

But this does not mean that light industry is not important. After all, the development of heavy industry is more closely related to people's lives, and it provides consumer goods, funds, markets and some raw materials for the development of heavy industry.

In a sense, the development of heavy industry brings about economic growth, while the growth of light industry converts the growth of economic output into cash.

The mutual influence between the two together constitutes the two wheels of economic development, and if agriculture is included, they form the three major drivers that can steadily and rapidly boost economic development.

It is difficult to say what the current situation of agriculture in the North is like. Due to the limitations of the natural environment, agricultural development has almost lost the possibility of growth, and all agricultural production is heavily dependent on the existence of greenhouses.

Under such conditions, agricultural development in the North, and even in Victoria as a whole, was basically at a level that could only maintain necessary needs, and there was no development at all.

So in fact, in the first economic development plan, Perfect wanted to mention agricultural development.

However, it is obvious that both the Northerners and the Royalists were caught up in the dispute over light and heavy industries and ignored the importance of agriculture.

"Little Perfect, you don't seem to agree with what they are arguing about?" The Queen spoke gently, looking at Perfect with a kind look.

The Queen, who has stepped down from government affairs, has now completely entered a stage of retirement. Although the North is not very suitable for an old lady to spend her retirement, as the de facto supreme ruler of Victoria, the Queen's living conditions have not been greatly affected.

So even though Perfect knew that she was on her last legs, if one only looked at the outside, the Queen was actually in pretty good condition.

But Perfect was not at ease with the Queen. While others were in meetings arguing and fighting for their own interests, she was treating the Queen and trying to regulate her physical condition.

For Perfecto, the existence of the Queen could save her from a lot of unnecessary troubles, and make the royalists and the opposition think that there was someone over her head, which could avoid the intensification of many conflicts.

If the Queen really died as she planned, Perfect felt that many problems would be piled up in her face and explode all at once. Although it would not be impossible for her to handle, it would be very annoying.

But she also promised the Queen to cooperate with her plan, which made Perfecto's attitude towards the Queen somewhat complicated.

"Economic development should not be biased towards one aspect. While consolidating the heavy industry foundation is important, the development of light industry cannot be ignored. Apart from these two, the role of agriculture has been ignored." Perfect explained casually, and then took various bottles from Befa beside him, and after fiddling with them, he made a cup of tea for the queen: "Your health is too bad, and your condition is worse than the last time I treated you. Even now, I can only temporarily stabilize your condition.

If you want further treatment, you must cooperate with me, otherwise even I can't do anything good."

For Perfect, curing the Queen was not a problem. After all, omniscience was literal. As long as he didn't ask paradoxical questions on purpose, he could give corresponding answers to questions related to alchemy. Although using alchemy to cure the Queen was a difficult challenge for other alchemists of this era, it was just a piece of cake for Perfect.

However, no matter how good a doctor is, if he wants to cure a patient, he still needs the patient's cooperation in the treatment.

"I think we have already discussed this issue." The Queen picked up the teacup and didn't care how much Perfecto had added to it when he was tinkering with it just now.

"Yes, after discussing this, you really are good at causing trouble for others, aren't you?" Perfect sighed helplessly, but did not express any dissatisfaction towards the Queen.

After all, that was something she had already agreed to, and she wouldn't go back on her word.

But relatively speaking, Perfect was still unwilling to cause himself so much trouble.

So she turned to discuss another question with the Queen: "Isn't Aunt Anne's current state satisfactory to you? With the Prime Minister and the cabinet system, you don't need to worry that she can't become a qualified monarch."

"Of course, everything you have done is satisfactory, but little Perfect, these are not the only problems we face, right?" The Queen put down her teacup and looked at Perfect with loving eyes. "Although you didn't say it, I can feel that the threats of the Old Gods have been making you uneasy, right?"

"You're talking about this? With the God-killing Armor, they are no longer a threat." Perfect was full of confidence, but she unconsciously grasped the Sword of Rebellion hanging at her waist.

Since she obtained this sword, she has taken the most careful care of it. Now it has been re-scabbarded and hung around Perfectocte's waist.

"Maybe it's not a problem, but it's not that easy for you to solve this problem, right?" The Queen still had a gentle smile on her face. She gently patted Perfect's hand and said to her, "You need a strong backer who can support you when you face these problems. But Anne is not at that level yet. Even I am powerless now."

"People need time to grow up. Aunt Anne will grow up, and they also need time to grow up." Perfect didn't mind what the Queen said. Instead, he looked at the two groups of people who were arguing with anticipation.

She does not think that this kind of quarrel is a kind of internal friction. On the contrary, she thinks it is actually a kind of growth and improvement.

If the nobles only know how to rest on their past merits and wait for death, and the emerging bourgeoisie only know how to exploit the lower classes, then they are truly waste.

Only by being able to fight and fight with others for one's own interests can a qualified strong person be born.

Only opponents of equal strength can motivate people to make progress. A dominance of one company or a huge gap between the two sides will only produce useless people who only play when the situation is favorable.

So Perfect doesn't mind the fight between them. On the contrary, she hopes they can maintain this competitive state: "We still have time, and they still have time to grow."
