When morning came, Charles, who had been sleeping on the sofa all night, opened his eyes.

Then he saw Linda, who was wearing only pumpkin pants and a small tank top, with her back to him, as if looking at something on the bed.

Charles moved, making a little noise, and Linda turned around and said, "Wake up, I want to wake you up later." ”

"Ahem......"

Charles coughed twice and said, "Wake up, hurry up and put on your clothes." ”

Linda said indifferently, "Anyway, when I have a child with you in the future, I will be seen by you, and it is nothing to show you in advance." ”

Charles was speechless, muttering "what's there to see".

Linda is a little older than Charles, fifteen years old this year, about the same height as Artoria, and her figure looks more petite and delicate, and the mountains are not high.

She beckoned to Charles and said, "Come over and help me see, what dress should I wear today?"

Charles walked over and saw two sets of clothes on the bed, one in a bright and brilliant skirt, and the other in a short khaki trench coat with trousers.

Linda looked at the clothes on the bed and said, "Today we will go to the east to see, Marquis Marlan and they plan to build a textile factory there. ”

"If you wear a skirt, you go in a carriage, and if you wear a riding costume, you go on a horse. ”

Charles thought for a moment and said, "It's up to you to ride a car or a horse." ”

Linda looked at Charles and said, "You're going with me too." ”

Charles didn't seem to be able to run away, so he said, "Put on your riding clothes, I'll use my car to ride you over more conveniently." ”

As a joke, Charles decided to ride Linda on his motorcycle, and the problematic brake line he had already dealt with yesterday while waiting for dinner.

Linda put on the riding suit in front of Charles, and Charles also changed into suitable clothes in the room, and the little girl didn't mind, and he wasn't hypocritical.

"You're really ...... It's very chic!" Linda looked at Hei Chaoru and didn't know what to say for a while.

The atmosphere of the Kingdom of Bischberg was not as free-spirited as that of the Duchy of Milan, and even Linda could not accept it at once.

But Charles didn't bother to care so much, what he wanted was a showy effect.

Just as Charles was about to go out, Linda grabbed him, still holding a perfume spray bottle in her hand.

Linda said, "Squirt a little and then go out." ”

Charles had a black line on his head and said, "This is a women's perfume." ”

Linda said, "You don't smell like my perfume on you, unless you hug me and get some smell." ”

In the end, Charles could only spray a little perfume on his suit.

Linda said a little depressed, "Am I not pretty, I don't want you to hug you." ”

Charles smiled and shook his head, saying, "If you're not you, I'm not me, then it's more than just hugging you." ”

After he finished speaking, he pushed the door open, and Linda, who had tossed the perfume aside before going out, walked up quickly and took his hand.

Uncle Rhine, who was Linda's bodyguard, lived downstairs, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw Charles's outfit and almost drew his sword.

After eating breakfast in the tavern, Charles asked where he was going to inspect later, then threw out his motorcycle and drove Linda away, leaving Uncle Rhine to greet the Marquis of Marquis Marcel.

There weren't many people on the road early in the morning, and Charles's motorcycle didn't attract a large crowd, so he quickly left the city and headed east.

To the east of the city of Catania there is a mesa with a radius of two or three kilometers, which is not high, twenty or thirty meters higher than the city, and the slope is not too steep, and the motorcycles quickly follow the path to the top.

Charles was a little surprised by the sight on the terrace, there were no big trees, only bushes that had just reached his waist. The bushes rise and fall like waves with the wind, and you can see quite a few rabbits, goats and deer living here.

There was a path on the ground, and Charles rode his motorcycle slowly forward.

He said to Linda behind him, "This place doesn't look good, it's short of water." ”

Linda said, "I heard that there is a river to the east, so let's go and have a look." ”

Charles saw that the road ahead was not easy, so he got out of the car and walked east with Linda.

On the way, Charles squatted down and checked the ground, and found that the ground was full of rocks, only a thin layer of soil, no wonder there were no big trees growing.

The two of them came to the east side of the mesa and were amazed by the sight before them.

The east side of the entire terrace is like a birthday cake that has been cut with a knife, and a river valley two or three hundred meters wide appears in front of them, the river surface is dozens of meters at their feet, and the turbulent river water rushes from north to south, and you can see the waves stirred up by the reef at the bottom of the water.

The height on the opposite side of the terrace is about the same as this one, and it seems to be a larger terrace, and it seems that people can be seen hunting in the distance.

Linda was obviously a little afraid of heights, and she grabbed Charles's arm so that she didn't fall to the ground.

Charles helped her aside, cleared a piece of the ground and covered it with a slime tarp, then let her rest on it.

Linda brushed her hair, which was a little messy by the wind, and said, "It's too windy here, can you build a factory here?"

"The wind is still a small thing, the point is that the valley is too deep and it is difficult to get water," Charles said. ”

Linda said, "The Marquis of Malan said that he had hired the dwarves to take care of some things, which may include fetching water. ”

Charles was relieved to hear her say this, and perhaps the dwarves had a way of getting water from the valley cheaply.

The textile industry is labor-intensive, and there is enough water for workers to live here, otherwise everything is in vain.

It was almost noon that the Marquis of Malan came here with a large group of men.

It's just that the Marquis of Malan looked at Charles with a look in their eyes, as if he decided that Charles and Linda had done something bad here.

He walked over to Linda and asked, "What does Your Highness think of here?"

Linda didn't answer, but looked at Charles and said, "Charles, what do you think of here?"

Charles smiled and said, "The water shortage in this place is quite serious, if this problem can be solved, it will not be a big problem to repair the road again." ”

Marquis Marlan smiled, then pointed to a dwarf standing on the edge of the valley and was looking down, and said, "Bishop Grundfos already has a plan for fetching water. ”

Grundfos heard someone mention him and walked over.

The Marquis of Malan said to him, "Bishop Grundfos, please tell Charles about the plan for getting water. ”

Grundfos glanced at Charles curiously, and then said, "It's not difficult to get water, it's just to build a few auger pumps upstream, and use the wind power here to pump the water up one by one." ”

"Charles must have been able to think of it if he was so smart, but his mind was not on it. ”

After Grundfos finished speaking, he looked at Charles and Linda beside him with the eyes of a man who understood.

The people brought by the Marquis of Malan all laughed, Charles giggled in response, and Linda blushed in cooperation.

The next step was to study the location of the factory, and the team brought by Linda had professionals in this area, who had accumulated enough experience, and these professionals would directly connect with Marquis Marquis Marlan's subordinates.

At this time, the bigwigs stood on the edge of the valley and watched the scenery, and the Marquis of Malan said with a little emotion: "If only there was a bridge here that could lead to the opposite side." ”

Charles asked, "Where is the other side?"

"Over there is the town of Jare Ville, where the port leads to all places, but unfortunately there is a long detour to the north from the city of Catania, and you have to cross the pontoon bridge upstream to get there." ”

"And that's someone else's territory. ”

Charles looked at the rapid, reef-strapped river beneath his feet, which was not at all suitable for boats.

At this time, Louis, who was on the other side of the Marquis of Marlan and had been ignored by Charles, said, "It is really impossible to build a bridge here. ”

Marquis Malan sighed and nodded, and said, "Yes, we have tried many methods but failed. ”

Charles, on the other hand, was thinking fast there, and he had an idea after making a budget for the project in his head.

He said, "Isn't it just a bridge?" ”

"I've been a little strapped lately, as long as the money is in place, I can build the bridge in one or two years at the earliest, or two or three years at the slowest. ”

"Impossible!" Louis then stretched his face over, "are you going to build a stone arch bridge or a stone bridge in general?"

"The span of the stone arch bridge is not large enough to cross the valley, and the river below cannot be built with piers. ”

Charles didn't even look at Louis, and he said to the Marquis of Marlan, "Your Excellency, Marquis, do you agree that I will auction that storage necklace and issue bonds for the construction of the bridge in Catania?"

"When the bridge is completed, I just need to collect the bridge toll until I get back to my capital. ”

The Marquis of Malan looked at Charles in surprise, and after a few minutes asked incredulously, "You didn't lie to me?"

Charles grabbed Linda beside him and said, "If I lie to you, Linda will spare me?"

The Marquis of Malan looked at Charles, then at Linda, and then nodded.

Charles smiled, as a Chinese, how could he forget the Jiang Bridge, the ancient Zhaozhou Bridge, and the Luding Bridge that appeared in the textbook when he was the mayor of Nanjing.

Here, a replica of the Luding Bridge is over.
