Chapter 218: Tavern Talk
Walking on the streets of the Wind Castle, looking at the pedestrians who hurried after the war, Mars took Sally's hand around some busy streets and walked on the more secluded streets, he looked at the new buildings in the Wind Castle, and said with a smile: "I found that you have a great talent for governing the country!"
Sally pursed her lips and smiled, "Thanks for the compliment, to be honest, I just followed your statecraft, and I find it really difficult to run a kingdom!"
Mars shook his head slightly, and said: "Actually, you can let those ministers do it, think about it, you are just one person, and there are many ministers, they specialize in a certain aspect, and they are more qualified for some positions than we alone." ”
"What you say seems to have a point, but aren't you afraid of their dereliction of duty?" asked Sally, curious.
Mars paused slightly, and said: "There is such a possibility, so a certain means of supervision is necessary, and the future development of Sunset City, I only specify the plan, and will not participate in the specific implementation, so, Queen, your task in the future is to be in charge of a department, I call it the Ministry of Supervision, are you willing?"
"Do you think I dare not say yes?" said Sally, leaning on Mars's shoulder like a little woman.
Despite wearing makeup, such a bold act still caused a lot of boos on the street.
However, the two quickly returned to normal, and they came to the tavern, which was not empty, and was probably busy collecting prey, Mars bought two glasses of ale, and the two sat down.
Sally looked at Mars and asked, "Mars, do you have anything to say to me?"
Mars smiled slightly and said, "The first thing is our marriage, I don't know what to do?" The second thing is the construction of the fortress, and I would like to hear your opinion as well. ”
Sally looked into Mars's eyes, showing a touch of tenderness, and then said seriously: "Mars, do we still need to have any weddings? If it was me in the past, I would have looked forward to an unusually grand wedding, but now, I only hope that we can be together forever, so if you want to get married, you only need to announce it to the kingdom and hold a small wedding feast." ”
Mars stroked Sally's hands, which were not delicate, and there were many calluses in the palms of their hands, which were left by practicing martial arts, and he smiled: "Everything is up to you." ”
Sally had a tender look in her eyes, if she didn't have expectations for marriage before, then now, she actually had some expectations, being able to marry a wise king like Mars was something she Sally didn't dare to imagine before, because her fate was the same as Mars at the beginning, uncertain, it is very likely to marry, or be married to a certain duke, or even an earl, of course, there is a certain probability that she will become the queen of the falling star.
Although she was later listed as the most promising prince, but until the last moment, who knows her fate? and chose to come to Sunset City, also because of Mars, she spent the whole teenage age with Mars, until adulthood, she knows Mars very well, but what he didn't expect is that Mars has always been in love with her, and Mars's change makes her look sideways.
If it was just love, Sally might not choose to stay in Sunset City, because Mars's status as a magician makes Mars qualified to grow old with her, because as a great knight, she is confident that she will become a paladin in her lifetime, and the lifespan of a paladin is very long.
Sally doesn't want her husband to be an ordinary person!
"Mars, let me talk about the second thing, in fact, I understand your purpose, I have also investigated the Wind Castle a lot over the years, from the geographical location, it is a good choice to build a fortress in the Land of the Wind Castle, and the population is not too much, and it is enough to recruit people on the spot, but there is one problem that needs to be solved, that is, the problem of transportation and water sources. ”
"Oh, tell me!" said Marston, intrigued.
Building a fortress city is not a simple matter, and a series of livelihood issues such as water and transportation must be taken into account.
In ancient times, most of the nomads lived by water and grass, and only when there was grass and water could they settle, otherwise they would die of thirst and starvation.
It's the same with cities today, and the groundwater in the Wind Castle is abundant, but how rich is it, and can it support millions of people?
And the transportation of the Wind Castle is obviously one of the most obvious drawbacks, whether it is land or water, it cannot be called transportation.
Sally continued: "I have already asked the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take a professional water conservancy engineer to survey the water problem, the groundwater resources of the Wind Castle are very rich, but it can only support the use of three million people at most, so if you want to increase the population, the water source is a problem, in the past three years, I have asked the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to build an asphalt road connecting Lanyan City and the Wind Castle, which has become the main traffic artery of the Wind Castle...... Oh, by the way, I replaced Alice Oran, the governor of Lanyan City, and Evans put him in Winston Prison after the Ministry of Security found out some facts about corruption and killings. ”
Mars nodded slightly, and said, "We'll talk about Alice and Evans later, how did you build the asphalt road, I remember they were still looking for oil three years ago!"
Sally suddenly smiled and said, "Those scholars from the Holy City found an oil field in the territory of Lanyan Province, and after some hard work, they extracted oil, and the alliance strongly supported this, the oil refining facilities were all transported from the Holy City, and after improvement, the oil was extracted in less than a year, and now the oil has been used in many places." ”
It is said that it was one of the main raw materials used in the early days of the Holy City, but it was gradually abandoned due to pollution and other reasons, and was converted to electricity.
The power of the magnetic car is converted from electrical energy into magnetic force, and then it interacts with the geomagnetic field, and the corresponding magnetic track is built to propel the magnetic car forward.
Of course, Mars didn't understand the more complicated things, and he didn't have that much energy to study them.
Now that the Sunset Kingdom is able to extract oil and refine oil, there are naturally a lot of new things appearing, so what will happen to Sunset City's economy?
Mars asked, "What is the economic situation in Sunset City right now?"
Sally showed a knowing smile this time and said, "Tell you, Mars, I calculated the total economic volume of Sunset City according to the statistical method you said, and it has reached 30 million golden knives, which has exceeded the total economic output of the other six countries combined. ”
"Really, if that's the case, then our fortified plan will probably have to be executed ahead of schedule!" said Mars cautiously.
Sally said very blandly: "You have the final say on this...... And, Mars, I have thought about it, and when I return to the royal capital, I will resign as regent. ”
Mars was stunned for a moment and asked, "But Sally, I allow you to be the regent!"
