Chapter 637: Golden Bridge, Silver Road, Iron House, Diamond Tunnel
Today's terrace is particularly lively, and many people in Catania have put down their work and come here to watch what is said to be a temporary zipline crossing.
On each side of the valley were two erected with sturdy logs and stones." In the general shelf, under the shelf is the loading and unloading platform, and two finger-thick steel cables connect the shelves on both sides.
On the loading dock, the Marquis of Malan examined the rope on several bundles of sacks, and then kicked the wooden shelf where the sacks were attached.
Next to him, several workers hired from the city of Catania were hanging the chain hooks of the shelves in the pulley set loops on the steel cables, and then rotating the small sleeves on the hooks, and when the sleeves were tightened, the hooks formed a ring.
The foreman in charge of the on-site management platform opened the iron gate to prevent personnel and goods from falling out of the loading and unloading platform, and said respectfully to the Marquis of Malan: "Master, you can start." ”
Marquis Malan nodded, and then kicked the cargo of three hundred kilograms in the direction of the river valley.
There were wheels under the shelves, and the front of the chute was a little steep, and the Marquis of Malan kicked the goods out without much effort.
As soon as the cargo left the loading dock, the foreman immediately closed the iron gate, and then watched intently as the cargo slid to the opposite shore with the same eyes as everyone else.
In the exclamation of the onlookers, a pack horse with a hoisting strap on his body led over, and the pack horse experienced the feeling of a "flying horse" before he understood the situation.
Next came the carriage, which reached the opposite shore without any danger.
Finally, the zipline was hung up on a chairlift for people to cross the river, and the Marquis of Marlan, who had been greatly confident, invited aside one of the dragon brothers who had planned to sit on the river, and then sat on it himself, fastening his seat belt.
As soon as the iron gate opened, Antoine II, who had been watching from the sidelines, kicked over and kicked the Marquis of Marlan out.
After seeing that the old brother had arrived safely on the riverbank, Antoine II said to Charles, who was beside him: "Charles, come with me." ”
The wind was still strong on the terrace today, and Antoine II and Charles were now on the edge of the cliff, watching the carriage that had just crossed the river and the Marquis of Malan coming across the other side of the river by another set of ziplines.
Antoine II looked down at the valley at his feet and said, "If you throw me down now, Linda will become queen in the afternoon." ”
Charles glanced at him, the old king, wrinkled and dressed in a thick winter coat, looking like an old man with a short life.
He said, "Even if I kick you down, you can jump up yourself." ”
Antoine II smiled, unconcerned that his hidden strength was exposed.
He turned his head to look at Charles and asked, "What is your purpose, can you talk to me about it?"
Charl said solemnly: "Make money." ”
Antoine II looked at Charles suspiciously and asked, "How much money can you make from this?"
Charles smiled, the king had obviously not heard of the "Golden Bridge Silver Road Iron House Diamond Tunnel".
Digging a tunnel doesn't have to worry about it for the time being, unless he can summon ninety-nine eighty-one Artoria out now, so let's start by building the bridge first.
Charles said: "Bischberg is a mountainous country, and there are many places where bridges need to be repaired, I wonder if Your Majesty can agree to me to build bridges in other places by issuing bonds?"
"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. It's good for both of us. ”
"There are many places where bridges can be built except in the kingdom of Bischberg. ”
Antoine II looked at Charles silently, his eyes narrowing slightly, as if looking for a hole in his words.
It's just that he thought about it for a long time and found that there was nothing wrong with Charles's words, this guy was really just to make money.
"It's no problem to build bridges," he said. ”
Charles smiled, it seemed that the matter of forming a construction company could be put on the agenda.
However, this matter is not urgent, he is not free yet, and he will come and talk to everyone when the bridge is completed and he has time.
Chain bridges are not omnipotent, and he doesn't know much about other bridges, so he can only take this opportunity to let everyone brainstorm.
On a deeper level, if you open up traffic and make the road easier, then motor vehicles will become popular in the future, and the power system of their Macroros Group will be able to sell more.
On the other hand, if the enemy on the eastern continent invades in the future, a good road network can make the war a little easier.
But then there was the issue of steel production, and he didn't understand whether the constraints on steel and coal production were productivity or exploration technology, or both.
Not long after, Antoine II, who confirmed that Charles was not doing trouble, returned to the royal capital on a griffin.
Charles saw that there were already a lot of people on the terrace across the valley, and he felt a trapeze slide past.
He left the loading dock and walked towards the eastern edge of the mesa, where he found his eldest cousin Alexei and his secretary Arsu, who were watching the scenery.
The terrain here is higher, and you can see the town of Jare, which is quite large in the distance, and to the east of the town is a fairly wide river, and there are many cargo ships passing and passing on the river.
Charles walked up to Alexei and greeted them, "Both, I'm here to disturb you." ”
Alexei just smiled when he saw Charles coming, and Arsu, who was standing behind his wheelchair, blushed.
He smiled and said to Charles, "Why don't you go with the king, but come here to blow the cold wind." ”
Charles also smiled and said: "The king saw that I did not intend to rebel against him, and he went back with peace of mind." ”
"Besides, your highness the crown prince has a lot of territory than that king, and it is more important to talk to you and please you than to please him. ”
As a result, Alexei's next words made Charles almost jump in shock.
He said: "I am no longer the crown prince, I submitted an abdication motion to the Supreme Council before I came, and the Supreme Council passed it unanimously on the same day." ”
Charles was stunned for two minutes, and then said to Arsu, who was standing behind Alexei: "Eldest sister, your title of crown princess is going to be lost before you get it, why don't you kick this guy down the mountain?"
Arsu is a tall beauty with dark brown hair and turquoise eyes, in her twenties. Charles first saw her when he first visited Abyssal City, where he saw her performing on stage at the Royal Theatre of Rurik.
It's just that that day was also the day Charles met Artoria for the first time, and his attention was focused on the dull hair, and he didn't pay much attention to the actors on stage.
Charles still opened Intel Corporation, and only learned about Alexei and Arsu when he chatted with Amiya.
Arsu smiled at Charles's words, she leaned over Alexei's shoulders and said, "I love him and I don't love his name." ”
Charles sighed, he had been prepared for this since Alexei was virtually paralyzed in both legs, no country could stand an heir to the throne in a wheelchair, there was no Roosevelt in this world.
He complained to Alexei: "You have to at least give Sister Arsu a grand wedding and then abdicate, what girl doesn't want her wedding to be in the limelight." ”
Alexei was stunned for a moment, he gently shook Arsu's hand on his shoulder, and said to her apologetically: "Sorry, I was negligent at this time. ”
Next, Charles was so smoked by the smell of dog food from the two of them that he ran ten meters away, and waited for the smell to dissipate before returning.
