Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 347 The carriage track

On August 17th, Princess Silvia, Fennagaly, Dilianna, Daisy, and Maria returned to Rock Castle.

Back then, the southern area of ​​the Northland was the essence of the entire Northland. The former Northland Grand Duke Luckins family and the Northland nobles built numerous manor castles there. After the territory replacement, the entire Northland fell into the hands of the Norton family, and these manor castles also belonged to the name of Lorist.

After re-planning the entire Northland development plan, twenty-seven of the manor castles that affected the development plan or were not important were demolished, leaving eleven beautiful and famous manor castles. This time Lorist asked Princess Silvia and the four concubines to choose these eleven manor castles.

Sakura Ridge Manor is known as the most beautiful manor in the Northland. After the rainy season, flowers bloom in the mountains, the fragrance is floating, and the trees are full of flowers, like clouds and clouds. The mountain breeze passes by, and the petals dance together like a dream, which is called the wonder of Yingling. Although Princess Silvia's trip was earlier than the blooming season, Princess Silvia was overjoyed by the trees full of cherries. It's just that this Sakura Ridge Manor was originally the place where Shahin Henneid's Golden House was hidden, and he often slept with his five concubines here. Princess Silvia deliberately rectified the entire main castle to make it more in line with her own wishes.

The excited Princess Silvia has been chirping beside Lorist, describing the scenery of the Sakura Ridge Manor, and the other four women have also selected the manor that satisfies them, and they compare with each other without showing any weakness, straight to Lorris It was a headache. In the end, the five girls were driven out of the study under the excuse of being busy with official duties to clean themselves. But before they went out, they unanimously stated that it was too ugly for Lorist to rename the city of Gildusk, the capital of the North, to the Roaring Bear City.

"Uh...Is Roaring Bear City ugly?" Lorist shrugged at Fatty Shi.

"It's a bit awkward, and it sounds a little weird." Fatty Shi said honestly that the name Lorist had picked up was not very good and lacking in level.

"But why do the laborers who built the city call it Angry Bear City?" Lorester felt a little strange, and the roaring bear literally felt more literate than the angry bear.

"Have you forgotten the roaring angry bear statue on the central square of the city, the angry bear square, and then transformed into the angry bear city. In fact, apart from in front of the temple and in the official documents, the family knights and officials privately call it angry? Bear City, simple and convenient." Fatty Shi told Lorist an embarrassing reality.

Lorist gave up: "Well, I admit that I don't have the talent and talent to be named. In this case, I will change my name to Angry Bear City in the future. I don't care if I named it..."

"His Royal Highness, this is just a small matter. Send an official notice and it will be over. What we just discussed was the move of the Raging Bear Knights to Rock Castle. What else should you pay attention to?" Fatty Shi reminded.

The original station of the Raging Bear Knights was Blade's Edge Castle, which was the castle built after the two hills were cut off next to Beihai City. The reason for the arrangement was to guard Beihai City and take care of both the Guishan Fortress and the Woniugang Fortress. After being attacked by the mountain barbarian tribe, it can immediately reinforce and counterattack. However, the tens of thousands of mountain barbarians have been wiped out, and it will be impossible for them to invade the family territory in the next ten or twenty years. At this time, it would be a waste to put the Raging Bear Knights in the Blade Castle. Lorist was about to move to Angry Bear City again, just to vacate the Rock Castle, and it was logical for the Raging Bear Knights to move over.

Lorist took a pen on the document and signed his name: "Okay, let Terman come with the Raging Bear Knights. The first battalion of guards here will move to Blade's Edge Castle. But starting from September 15th, all the administrative departments and family members of officials in Rock Castle will be relocated to Angry Bear City. You are responsible for all this."

Fatty Shi nodded: "No problem, many departments have already begun to pack. One month is sufficient."

"When we arrive in Angry Bear City, we will soon be preparing to host my wedding with Silvia, and we will also receive guests. I hope everything is prepared and nothing goes wrong."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we have already made a plan. We already know who is responsible for everything."

There was a knock on the door, and Genorio came in to report: "Your Highness, Baron Hansk is here to see you..."

Baron Hansk came in angrily. He felt that he was doing well in the governorship of Silovas, but he did not expect to be kicked off by Lorist. Isn’t it against you to marry a wife, and to marry a family enemy? There are so many women in the world, but you have found the most unsuitable one. As the most loyal retainer of the Norton family, your opposition is justified and well-founded. I did not expect that you would not only refuse my advice, but also deprive you. Going to my position, it is unreasonable!

Baron Hansk suffocated his stomach and reported to Lorist. He was going to have a good theory with Lorist. Even if he was deprived of his knighthood, he would not hesitate to be the most loyal retainer of the Norton family. , He will let everyone see his clank and iron bones and his loyalty.

"His Royal Highness, greet you." Baron Hansk paid a vassal to Lorist.

"Director Hansk, I've been talking about you all the time, and now that you are finally here, I can rest assured. Come on, sit down first, are the affairs of Hilovas all done?" Lorist smiled amiably, as if I didn't see Baron Hansk's angry face, and he didn't call him the title in the address, but called him the former directorship in the family to show his closeness.

"Genorio, bring tea to Director Hansk." Lorist ordered.

"No need, Your Highness." Baron Hansk replied with a sullen face: "I have completed the handover of the affairs of Hilovas Island with Governor Hickerd. I have not come back to report until now because I have to wait for his arrival."

"Well, that's fine. Director Hansk has worked hard all the way, and has been exhausted for the family for so long, so why not take a rest for a while and take a good rest." Lorist said politely.

"His Royal Highness, working for the family is what I should do. I would like to ask, what is the next arrangement of the family for me?" Director Hansk said.

Lorist stood up: "This is the case. Our family already owns the entire Northland. In the next two years, we will carry out overall development and construction of the entire Northland. Look here, Director Hansk."

Lorist pointed to a map of the Northland hanging on the wall: "If you want to get rich, build roads first. Only with convenient and fast traffic and road facilities can the Northland be connected into a strong unity, and it can not only complete the supply of materials. The transportation of the Northland will enable the family armed forces to quickly reach any place in the Northland when needed. This map is the entire new traffic road facility system that the Northland is preparing to build, connecting the entire Northland into a network. The family prepares Investing one million Golden Ford. This project is related to the future of our Norton family in the Northland. In my heart, no one but you can take on this important task. That's why I transferred you back from Silovas Island. "

This is the so-called general in chess. Hansk, who was full of grievances, suddenly dissipated half of his grievances. It turned out that Lorist had used his position as governor of Silovas not to refrigerate or punish himself, but Prepare to hand over the important task of the family's future to yourself. At this time, Director Hansk finally looked straight at Fatty Shi sitting on the sofa next to him, with a blunt smile on his face: "His Royal Highness, this important task does not necessarily need to be undertaken by me, you can just look at Baron Shred..."

"No, he can't!" Lorester vetoed, ignoring Fatty Shi, who was sitting on the sofa, rolling his eyes: "To be ugly, he is not qualified. This is related to the family's dominance of the entire North, and the importance of long-term stability in the next hundred years Responsibility. Although Baron Shredder is good at handling political affairs, he has no experience in managing such a large project, and he is not as stable as yours. Looking at all the officials in the family, Director Speer has a hand in finances, but he is not a manager of projects. It is expected that Kedan is in charge of personnel, and is also a layman for project management. Really speaking, it is Governor Higgard, but Boris may have this ability.

But think about it, one is your junior, and Higgard is your deputy. I can’t really trust him. After all, the Boris butler was originally a member of the Kenmes family. He took refuge in our family after being captured. Although diligent and diligent, we cannot be sure of his loyalty. This is related to the prosperity of the family in the next century. How can the big project of the country be handed over to them? Someone also proposed Soderkamp, ​​but I think I have rejected this proposal. His identity is just my servant and he is not qualified to be compared with you. So in my mind, you are the only suitable person to host this big project. "

Supervisor Hansk smiled with flowers. Lorester’s praise gave him a sense of loneliness in the family, no one can compare with him. It’s about the family’s century-old prosperous big project leader and who is it? . The resentment in my stomach has long since disappeared, but I have to be humble on my face: "His Royal Highness, you have passed the award. In fact, I think this project can be done by anyone, and it does not necessarily require me to be responsible. Like Sedkamp, ​​Bao Reese butlers have all been responsible for the development and construction of road traffic, maybe they are more suitable than me..."

Lorist shook his head: "Director Hansk, this project is not as simple as you think. If it is an ordinary road construction, then anyone can do it. But the road our family wants to build is unique, Gelin A transportation facility that has never appeared in the history of the Teya continent, once the construction is completed, it will remain in the history and will be known forever. This is the reason why I insist that you be responsible for hosting."

What? The construction of a road traffic facility can still be famous for a lifetime? Is this possible? It’s just a mention in the family records. In the past few months and a few days, the Northland traffic road facility project that Hansk was in charge of was completed. This project has improved the entire Northland Road traffic makes the circulation of materials and trade in Northland more convenient and efficient, etc...

Is it so exaggerated? Seeing the inexplicable stunned look of Director Hansk, Lorist laughed: "Director Hansk, come here and take a closer look at the road plan..."

Director Hansk squinted his eyes for a long time, and finally found something wrong: "His Royal Highness, why should the road in the same direction be built with one large and one small?"

"Haha, Director Hansk, this is the new type of road invented by our family-carriage track. Come, come here, here is a physical model."

The room next to the study was opened up by Lorist's orders and became a physical exhibition room. As soon as Director Hansk followed Lorister in, he saw a sand table that took up half of the room in front of him. This is the topographic sand table of the Northland. Director Hansk is very familiar with it. It is Rock Castle, this is Fenglin Mountain Villa, that is Beihai City, and this is the southern part of the Northland... But the sand table is strangely covered with iron wire. Going around several times.

"Look, this is the carriage track." Lorister pointed to the wire on the sand table and said.

Director Hansk discovered that this was not a round iron wire, but an I-shaped iron wire. Well, I am getting older and my eyes are not working well. Maybe it is time to go to the technician in charge of the glass factory, Mancheni, to wear a pair of reading glasses. I heard that the so-called reading glasses are very helpful for the eyesight of the elderly. The butler of Boris, the new governor of Hanea Bada, had several pictures, and he refused to take them off his nose all day...

"His Royal Highness, what's the use of this carriage track?" Director Hansk didn't understand after looking at it for a long time.

"This is the latest invention of Master Julian. It was originally designed to be used in mining. The mining truck loaded with ore was pulled up in a deep mine without human back or livestock hauling, which greatly reduced mining. Cost. Later I thought it was a very good idea and suggested it to be used on flat ground. After two years of experimentation, now finally got samples and models. After evaluation, we found that if this kind of carriage track is used in Northland , Whether it is material transportation or passenger travel, it will reduce the cost by two-thirds and greatly increase the efficiency several times."

Lorist picked up a model of a carriage from the side table: "Look, Director Hansk, the wheels of this carriage are not wooden, but a round iron frame, and the front of the iron frame is recessed. Yes, it happened to be inlaid on this raised carriage track. Look, I connected these four carriages and put them on the carriage track with a slight push, and the four carriages moved forward."

"But your Highness, this carriage can also move on flat ground. There is no need to use this track." Director Hansk said.

"No, the efficiency is not the same." Lorister explained: "On the track, four horses can pull these four carts. On flat ground, each carriage requires four horses to pull the cart, but the speed is not as good as the track. In the carriage, there is a difference of twelve horses between one entry and one exit. For example, it would take more than two days for us to ride to the southern part of the Northland before the road was built, and five or six days for walking. That’s not counting It was delayed in the rain and snow. If you want to take four carriages, you will need ten or so grooms and servants to take care of the horses, and it will take at least three to four days to arrive. But with this carriage Rails, plus a post station for 40 or 50 miles, then you can reach the southern part of the Northland in less than two days."

Director Hansk still has this vision, and he knows how much transportation costs the carriage track can save. But he still has two questions: "Your Majesty, the wheels of this carriage have become a round iron frame. Will it affect the carriage on the flat ground, or will it affect the carriage track after passing on the flat ground? There is another question. The carriage track needs to be laid with such two iron tracks. Will the cost be too high for the family..."

Lorist nodded, then picked up two rope-shaped circles from the table: "Director Hansk, your scruples are very right. But we have considered the two issues you mentioned, you see, this These are two resin tires, which are a bit flexible. If the carriage is going to go on flat ground, we will put these two tires on the wheels, which can not only absorb the shock, but also prevent the iron wheel frame from wearing on flat ground. The only thing is The difficulty is that the price is a little bit higher. A resin tire requires a large silver coin, but there are alternative ways to wrap it around the car with wood or straw rope. Although it cannot absorb shocks, it can also prevent the wheel frame from wearing.

Lorester’s very smart two small tires are mounted on the wheels of the wagon model: "You see, that's it. As for the cost of the wagon track you mentioned, we have also considered. The difference from the avenue is that the wagon We charge externally for the track. In terms of saving time and transportation costs, merchants will be happy to pay the toll. Of course, the toll will not be too high. Basically, the toll will be charged based on the number of carriages. The cost of road construction can be recovered within two to three years~www.readwn.com~ and a carriage track has a lifespan of about ten years, so in the past six or seven years we have received profits."

"Director Hanks, this is the reason why I said that the construction of this major project will have a history of celebrities. The carriage track, a new traffic thing, will appear for the first time in the Northland, on the traffic roads of the Asian continent. History will leave a strong and glorious page. I considered it for a long time, and finally decided that you are not the person who can take on this important task. Do you have any opinions and opinions?" Lorist asked solemnly.

"His Royal Highness..." Director Hansk was so touched by the death of a confidant in his heart, he blurted out: "I promise to complete this glorious and important task, please rest assured, your Highness, I will not let you down."

"As expected to be the mainstay of our Norton family!" Lorester is relieved: "Then you will be responsible for this matter, which is the family's century-old plan. The design department, supervision department, and engineering department are all ready, and you can do it tomorrow. Take office, start this work..."

"No, Your Highness, I will go now, tomorrow is too late." Director Hansk, with a sense of sacred mission, solemnly bowed to Lorist, turned and left in strides.
