"The Duke of Downton has an order, because the war is imminent, so there is no way to give everyone a holiday, but every family can go to the town hall and receive a benefit, one hundred gold coins, or rice, flour, fish and meat, according to the number of family members, of their choice!"

A goblin courtier made the announcement, and there was another commotion in the streets.

"Did you get your head broken with joy when you were shouted a few times, and this city has a population of millions at least, right?

The Janissary didn't want to see Downton's high-spirited appearance, so he made belittling remarks.

"Don't come out and be embarrassed if you have a low IQ, gold coins can be circulated in order to generate value, and the master has obtained the wealth from Lubgana, which must be converted into war dividends as soon as possible!"

Abagon rolled his eyes, "Forget it, don't bother to say it, you can't understand it anyway!"

"You ......"

The Praetorian Guard has lived for thousands of years, but for the first time, he was despised by a goblin and almost died of anger.

"Don't make any noise!"

Nicole stopped that when it came to economics, Abagon was indeed a giant.

"It's still comfortable to live in your own home!"

After taking a hot shower to get rid of the tiredness of the journey, Downton returned to his study and began to take care of his business.

Nicole was very curious, so she visited, and instead of a female secretary in professional attire, she saw a large group of green-skinned goblins, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Master!"

Miria put the coffee down, hugged the plate, and didn't leave.

Juliet had something to do and left for the time being. ”

Downton replied casually, the more insipid he was, the less she thought about it.

"I see!"

Knowing that her daughter was safe, Miria drew a cross on her chest and prayed sincerely. She wanted to ask her daughter what she was doing, but she was too embarrassed to disturb Downton when she saw that he was so busy.

"Worthy of a Templar, so kind!"

Nicole teased that looking for Juliet, Downton made a special account of the undead troops who stayed behind in the Dragon Cemetery. If it were replaced by other nobles, let alone looking for it, Juliet's family would be thrown into the dungeon first and brutally abused.

"Master, the ministers have arrived. ”

A goblin secretary knocked on the door to report that with a break in the war and the return of the commanders, a plenary meeting was to be held today to decide the future direction of the country.

"It's not about career!"

Downton got up and left. He had his own secretary to help him get the papers.

"No need, I'll do it!"

Sissi took the paper, like a female secretary, ready to be dispatched,

In the large conference room, it was already full of officials, more than a hundred people, and the ones closest to the main seat on the left were all Downton's descendants.

The guards stood up and saluted. To announce, Downton waved his hand. There is no need to signal.

Crunch!

The door was pushed open by the guards.

The moment they saw Downton walk in, the room stopped talking, got up in unison, and straightened their backs.

"Your Majesty!"

The neat and uniform slogan is extraordinary.

"Call me Duke!"

Downton walked to the main seat with a blank face, and Harley tried to avoid suspicion. I haven't seen him all the time, which makes him very uncomfortable, after all, the two of them are also close friends.

The officials were silent, and they were like tigers, for this man who could decide their fate with a single word. They responded with 120,000 spirits.

Abagun followed Downton first, so he asked for the first position on the left, and for it, he also fought with the unconvinced Arnold, and finally won it with the threat of military spending.

"Sit here!"

Seeing Sissi, Abagun gave way with a smile.

"No, I'll just stand here!"

Sissi stood behind Downton with the papers in her hands.

The officials didn't squint, but their hearts were shocked, this is the Bavarian rose, Princess Lombardy, if you don't love Downton to the core, how can you condescend to do such a servant thing?

Sissi said this, but Abagun dared to let her stand, and immediately ordered the servant to move the chair, and placed it at Downton's side.

Because of this thoughtful gesture, the goblin housekeeper received a sweet smile from Sissi to express her gratitude.

"Before starting the meeting, I would like to make a decision that in the future, Frankfurt will create the position of local consul to administer the conquered countries and lands, the basic idea is, whoever lays the throne, who governs, from today onwards, Arnaud will be the consul of Lubcana!"

Downton observed everyone's expressions while narrating, and sure enough, hearing this, the generals were short of breath, no way, who doesn't want to open up the territory and seal the marquis, and the civil officials are envious, jealous and hateful.

"Duke, I have an objection!"

A middle-aged man stood up, this was the first nobleman to fall to him, and now, he has become the spokesman of some nobles.

"Say!"

Downton had expected it.

"Generals are good at fighting, but it takes knowledge and experience to govern the place, let them be consuls, not to mention paying taxes to the treasury, I am afraid that the province will not be able to be self-sufficient, and in the long run, it will lead to a ~ rebellion. ”

The middle-aged man is good at language skills, and the superior is most concerned about taxes and political stability, so he attacks his opponents from these two points.

"Fart, we can also learn, as long as we use the right talent. ”

"Yes, isn't the master just capable of anything?"

"Don't forget, the master is the number one general in the north, but he is also a good hand at governing the country. ”

The generals immediately slapped the table.

"How many all-rounders are there like the Duke?"

The aristocracy argued that Downton was too special to be an example.

Downton did not stop it, but allowed the two sides to quarrel, this kind of topic can only be solved by talking about it, and the confrontation between the military and the government is conducive to him to control these officials.

"What do you think?"

Sissi used soul teleportation to ask secretly.

"These civil officials have forgotten one of the most important issues, that those countries have recently been conquered, riots and rebellions are inevitable, and only these generals who can fight well can suppress them, and in the first ten years, I have no intention of recovering much of the taxes, settling down as soon as possible, and denationalizing them. Assimilating them is the most important goal. ”

Downton explained.

"You look at the countries of the Western Continent, the feudal system is an inevitable factor in the decline of the kingdom, and now the nine empires have realized that they are all strengthening the centralization of power in the central ~ central government, but the aristocratic power of those who have a large number of fiefs has not been lost. In order to avoid this situation, I chose the centralization system of the central ~ central government, but I can't let people say that I treat the soldiers who are in order to open up the territory, so it is undoubtedly the greatest reward to divide the consuls. ”

"Kill two birds with one stone!"

Sissi pondered.

"No, it's the three virtues, a multi-ethnic country, due to culture, beliefs, customs, etc. There will be many problems with integration, for example, Arnold will go to Ghana, and those barbarians will also choose to follow, because the policy issued by Arnold will definitely treat them preferentially, which can prolong the time of conflict intensification. ”

Downton spoke eloquently, much to the amazement of Homer, the Cheap God, and Sissi.

"But what about the future? A region full of a certain race is definitely not conducive to national unity, right?"

Sissi has personal experience. Don't look at Lombardy as a union country, there are already a lot of independent ~ independent countries now. That's still a human race, and if it were another race, it would probably be more resolute.

"When Frankfurt was as strong as a great empire, an ethnic group demanded not independence~independence, but more voice. ”

Downton shrugged his shoulders, "Anyway, I don't necessarily live to that point." So that's the matter for my children and grandchildren to worry about, or rather, Frankfurt is dead, so let's take the step at hand. ”

"You've thought about it, right?"

Homer continued to ask.

Downton shook his head. But in fact, he thought about the separation of powers, constitutionalism, the right to vote, the right to vote, and many more, but he can't say this, you must know that all the countries on the mainland are still half-slave and semi-feudal, and Lombardy has seen some signs of capitalist germination, and if he says this, he will be the public enemy of the ruling class on the whole continent, and he will definitely be burned at the stake.

Of course, Downton has built a huge empire, and there is absolutely no possibility of giving it up for nothing, even if it finally goes to the people ~ the lord, he must get enough benefits.

The meeting was going on in an orderly manner, and now Downton is a dictator with great power ~ dictatorship, so the rebuttal of the civil officials is powerless, and they can't convince Downton, so they can only obey or die, and quit? That depends on whether Downton lets them go.

"Don't get drunk on this pleasure!"

Seeing the smile on Downton's face, Homer quickly reminded how many kings were so fluttering, and then arrogant and went to perdition.

"Those messengers have been waiting for a long time, do you want to meet them?"

At the end of the meeting, Abagon asked about the next itinerary.

"Let them wait, Nicole, would you be interested in visiting my dungeon?" Downton called out to everyone present, "put aside what you have at hand first, and go with me to Porusna." ”

Hearing this, the officials were excited, that was Downton's biggest secret, and now revealing it meant that they were recognized.

"It's an honor!"

Nicole chuckled.

Stepping out of the huge portal that had been rebuilt, everyone was stunned by the brilliant lights of the city, because the sky was in a state of darkness and gloom with the rushing clouds, but now, with the opening of various factories in full swing, the lighting system such as the street lamps has been laid and rebuilt, and a city that never sleeps is born.

In the field of vision, huge chimneys towered like knights' spears, billowing black smoke curled up and echoed in the ears, echoing the deafening roar of the machines, and the rail traffic on the road, extending in all directions, like cobwebs.

Tick!

In the long whistle, there is a magic train dragging a long cargo box, like a long dragon, galloping on the tracks.

Ahh

Many people sneeze when they smell dust and soot for the first time.

"Master!"

A goblin guide arrived.

"Tell them about it!"

Downton walked onto the platform in front of the portal, and a group of people hurriedly followed, while listening intently to the goblin guide's introduction.

In Russia, a sightseeing train with a glorious license plate arrived, and the tour guide beckoned everyone to get on the train.

"We have established five transportation hubs, fully realized the urban rail transit, can use trains, in half an hour, to reach every corner of the city!"

Tour guides distribute tour books.

Due to the use of many new words, most of the officials do not understand very well, but there are always some geniuses.

"Can we do it in other cities? So that in the event of a riot, the soldiers can arrive as quickly as possible and suppress it. ”

"Not only that, but it will reduce the number of horse-drawn carriages and ease traffic congestion in the city. ”

"I think the first thing is to lay between cities, first, it can increase communication and contact, increase the control of Wangcheng over the surrounding cities, and second, increase the transportation capacity, these carriages can transport goods at one time can top a lot of carriages, and it seems that it is not too affected by the climate, if there is a track, it can also be transported at night, right?"

The officials talked a lot, and they understood that His Majesty brought everyone here, and it was definitely not as simple as a visit, so they racked their brains one by one to deal with it, just to show their talents.

"There are still some visionaries among your subordinates!"

Nicole listened, and there were some words that even she felt like she couldn't help but appreciate.

"Bring me those people's files tomorrow. ”

Downton smiled and named the officials who had spoken to the point.

The goblin secretary immediately made a note of it.

The officials who were named immediately straightened their backs, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the excitement in their hearts, they knew that the day of their prosperity was coming.

Other officials were not discouraged, Frankfurt was thriving, and Downton was a man of great fortune and had the opportunity to use his talents.

"The idea of urban rail transportation, but the master put forward it, he happened to see the drawing of the magic chariot on the drawing, and immediately removed the tires and replaced them with this combination of wheelsets and rails, and named it locomotive, which means power mechanical vehicle!"

The tour guides proudly announce that it is their honor to have a great host.

As the tour guide introduced Downton's idea in detail, exclamations erupted, and the officials were not complimentary, but really admired this idea, which was definitely an epoch-making plan that would bring great changes to Frankfurt, and Downton's intelligence was definitely ahead of a generation.

Nicole was silent, looking at Downton carefully.

"What's wrong? I have flowers on my face?"

Downton teased.

"I'd love to cut open your head and see what's inside!"

The queen's words are full of appreciation and admiration.

"This is the man I fancie!"

Sissi smiled proudly, hugged Downton, and took a bite, this scene fell in the eyes of the officials, and they were even more shocked, and they were more optimistic about the future prospects of the country.

"The large building in front is the steam airship factory that we cooperated with the Lombard Alliance, and it is also the most valuable industry in the dungeon, all the airships produced will be used to form the Guns and Roses Airlines, and at present, the output value of the Gun Flower Company has reached 60 billion gold coins. ”

The tour guide pointed to a castle-shaped building and continued to introduce, "By the way, it is an industry invested by the owner and Princess Sissi!"

Exclamations abounded, of course, the officials had heard of the new type of company, which had contracted the aviation business of the whole continent, convenient, fast, and comfortable, and which nobleman traveled abroad, if he did not take the steam airship of Gunhua Aviation, it was the performance of the hillbilly.
