Chapter 394: Supporting the Disaster Zone
Based on the central bank, the city of Lebor had a commercial tentacle throughout the Holy Roman Empire, and under his orders, grain was purchased for him everywhere and transported to the south.
However, because the transportation conditions are so poor, it will take at least half a month for the grain to finally reach Sicily.
Sicily is relatively rich in products, and there are not many people still alive there, so it is not difficult to survive this half month.
After Rambo learned about these situations, a hanging heart was also relaxed, what he was most worried about was that those people died in vain, and now with Eugen's ability, he can already change the fate of many people.
Eugen is also very happy about this, he is born in the poor, naturally he is very willing to help the poor, he knows very well that sometimes the superior can make countless poor people live better just by waving his hand.
It's just that in his opinion, half a month's transportation time is still too long, thinking that when he was a college student, there was a big earthquake in the country, which shook the whole country, and the situation of the people in the disaster area was very critical.
At that time, with the words of the superiors, food and supplies from all directions were quickly transported to the disaster area, and the people in the disaster area had sufficient food security that night, and even were able to live in warm tents.
This powerful efficiency shocked the world, and at the same time, it was widely acclaimed and praised by countless people.
In that case, the ability to other aspects is not mentioned for the time being, and the transportation aspect alone makes the current Eugen very concerned.
Under the order, the support of the sea, land and air lines, and the unimpeded various transportation channels can quickly deliver the materials needed, which shows how important good transportation conditions are.
Eugen also had a long-term perspective, and so far, his business has spread quite large, basically covering the entire Holy Roman Empire.
But this is only the scale of the flow of money, and in terms of commercial trade, it is not satisfactory, and a large number of weapons produced in the industrial area of Lebor City are hoarded in warehouses and cannot be shipped everywhere.
Since Eugen defeated the coalition of the Holy See and the Wittelsbach family with new weapons, the letters of purchase from nobles everywhere have flown like snowflakes, and a large number of large and small orders have been signed, but the main problem now is that the orders are signed, and the speed of delivery is difficult to keep up.
After all, it is an important material, and every time it is delivered, it has to be escorted by the caravan of the turnstiles, with a part of the soldiers, and then transported to a distant city.
These caravans still used the most primitive horse-drawn carriages, and a trip was as short as three days and five days, and as long as ten days and half a month, which was too delayed.
For this reason, long before, Eugen ordered the institute to put the research of railways and trains in the first place, since the invention of the steam engine, Eugen had the idea of relying on this technology to make trains, and now, the research of the institute has been basically completed, and the industrial area of Lebour City has also begun to mass-produce railways and trains, and now the only thing lacking is the chief engineer of a railway design.
It was at this time that Rambo returned to him.
"Hahaha, Rambo, don't go back to Sicily this time, I have a new mission for you." Thinking like this, Eugen said to Rambo happily.
Rambo was a little worried about Redburg's affairs, after all, he had been there for a long time and had some feelings for where, but he only hesitated for a moment, and then he was firm and ready to carry out Eugen's orders.
"Okay, Lord Eugen, you speak, I'll listen to you."
Eugen smiled, among all his subordinates, Rambo can be said to be the most reassuring one, this Italian has a steady personality, excellent ability, but can adapt to changes and quickly accept new knowledge, basically can be said to be an all-round talent, no, even a genius is not an exaggeration.
In this aspect alone, even Eugen admired him a little, and when he saw him agree, Eugen smiled and said: "Hahaha, that's great, then I will appoint you as the chief engineer of the railway design of the city of Leber, and you will be responsible for all the food related to the railway and the train." ”
Eugen thought that Rambo would be very happy to hear the news, after all, the position of chief engineer is not small, this is the first railway in human history, as the chief engineer, Rambo can even go down in history with this.
However, Rambo's expression was a little surprised, and he hesitated after half a ring, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.
"Huh? What's up, Rambo, do you have any questions? ”
Seeing Eugen asking, Rambo said in a hesitant voice: "Well, Lord Eugen, since you asked me, then I will say it." I also know that Lebbar City is growing very fast now, and the funds are very abundant, but you can't waste it like this. Is it bad to pave with stones? Why do you have to use iron, and what kind of train, it's not easy to make a car out of wood, but you want me to burn them with fire, what a pity. ”
Hearing Rambo's words, Eugen immediately burst out laughing, and he remembered that he hadn't explained the relationship between trains and railways to Rambo, and as a result, he misunderstood it, and completely said that there was no boundary.
But these things can't be explained clearly for a while, Eugen patted Rambo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Rambo, Rambo, forget it, I can't explain these things to you now, go back to Parma and ask him to take you to visit the institute, and you can also learn about some of the most cutting-edge technologies in our Lebor City." ”
Eugen's words aroused Rambo's curiosity, and his heart was like a cat scratch, eager to know what this mysterious new technology was.
One of the most admirable virtues of Rambo is Eugen's endless curiosity and desire to learn, and in the face of new things, he is not repulsive, but willing to accept, learn, and understand.
In modern times, this is not a rare quality, most of the young people in modern times have such ability, but in the current situation, it is commendable.
After deciding this matter, Eugen asked Rambo to go down and prepare, and rushed back to Lybor City with them, but Rambo did not leave, after thinking about it, he still made up his mind and said to Eugen: "Lord Eugen, actually, I have one more thing I want to trouble you. ”
"Huh? What's the matter, you just say it, don't be polite to me. Eugen said with a smile, speaking of which, he has not rewarded Rambo with anything until now, and at this moment he has decided that no matter what Rambo asks, he will agree to help him do it.
