Chapter 3 Infrastructure Promotion Department

Viscount Resus looked at the greeting note in his hand, his heart full of doubts.

"What the hell is this place?"

Flipping through the post, seeing the emblem printed with the logo of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the back of the post, Viscount Resus hesitated for a moment and asked the butler beside him, "You said that there was a man who came with him who had been a servant here before?"

The butler nodded slightly: "Yes, Lord Viscount." This servant is called Kompany, and when I was in the palace before, I was very serious and a human being, so I still have some impressions. He's from our town, so I guess there's no problem. ”

"That's right......" Viscount Rysos looked through the post twice more and waved his hand. "Then invite them in. ”

"Yes. ”

Moments later, Joshua and Kompany, led by the butler, walked into the parlor of Viscount Ressos' manor on the outskirts of Arafat.

At the sight of Viscount Ressos sitting on the main seat, Kompany immediately saluted him respectfully.

"The villain has seen Lord Viscount. ”

Joxiuan glanced at Viscount Rysos with interest, and then bowed slightly.

"I've seen Lord Viscount. ”

Viscount Resus glanced at Kompany, and immediately lost interest in looking at him, turned his head and swept Joshua up and down, seeing that he was well-dressed, elegant, and with a confident smile on his face, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person, so he stretched out his hand and pointed to the guest seat next to him: "Please take a seat." ”

After Joshua sat down, Kompany hesitated for a moment before carefully sitting down next to his chair. But he kept his head down and looked at the ground. He didn't dare to look up and look at Viscount Ressos.

In his mind. The mayor of the town, Viscount Resoth, was already a big man in the sky, and he never thought that he would one day be treated as a guest by the mayor.

Seeing the two of them sitting down, Viscount Rysos groaned slightly, lifted the greeting note in his hand, and asked Joxiuan: "You claim to be the manager of the infrastructure promotion department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, why have I never heard of such a department in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Joxiuan smiled slightly: "Because this department was only established in August last year, it has only been in trial operation in the Duchy of Stantin and the Lampari Kingdom, and this year is the first time to enter the Falk Kingdom." It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it before, Lord Viscount. ”

"Really?" Viscount Rysos glanced at Joshua suspiciously. "So what's this...... What the hell does the Infrastructure Promotion Department do? This name sounds really weird. ”

Joxiuan took out a copy of the text from the bag he had brought with him and handed it to Viscount Resos.

"The so-called infrastructure promotion department is the department mainly responsible for promoting infrastructure construction. I am one of the promotion managers in this department and am currently in charge of the promotion of the Duchy of Drake and the Kingdom of Falck. ”

Viscount Resus took Wen Jiàn and glanced at it twice, but did not look closely, frowned and asked: "Then what kind of infrastructure are you talking about, and what is it? Why do you want to promote it in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

"Infrastructure is a very broad topic, if subdivided, it can be roughly divided into five categories: transportation, energy provision, education and training, medical and health care, sports and culture, and then subdivided, it will be specifically ......"

"Alright, alright. Don't subdivide. Viscount Resus frowned and waved his hand. I said. Why do I sound so confused about these things you are talking about? I can barely understand the transportation, isn't it the propaganda slogan that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amrley Chamber of Commerce have been saying, what is it called? Oh yes, 'If you want to get rich, you must first build roads'?

"Yes. However, transportation is not only about building roads, but also about river transportation and sea transportation, as well as rail transportation that our Chamber of Commerce is currently studying and air transportation that should be implemented in the future. And in order to ensure the smooth flow of these transportation, the necessary follow-up maintenance and repair and logistics creation are also problems that must be solved, so ......"

"Stop!" Viscount Rysos interrupted Joshua again. "You said so much, what does it have to do with your coming to me this time?"

Joxiuan smiled and pointed to the document that had just been handed to Viscount Ressos.

"Lord Viscount, this is the cooperation plan formulated by our department to promote infrastructure construction in various places, please take a look. ”

Viscount Resus frowned and glanced at him, and then he seriously looked at the text in his hand.

Although this article is not thick, it took Viscount Resus half an hour to read it all.

After reading it, he pondered for a while before he said to Joshua again, "I have two questions. ”

"Excuse me. ”

"First of all, from the perspective of this plan, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will help the partners to complete various infrastructure projects, including helping each other build roads, hospitals, and even schools...... Even if it's just our town, if you want to get all these things mentioned in this plan, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins, right? Listen to what you just meant, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not just in our place to get these things, so even if your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is rich, I'm afraid it won't be able to cope with it, right?"

"Your concerns, Lord Viscount, are very justified. Indeed, it is impossible for our chamber of commerce to have such abundant financial resources to cover all the expenses......"

"Do you want me to pay for it?" Viscount Resus looked at Joshua with a wary expression. "Sue you, don't look at me as the mayor of the town and the viscount, but you asked me to take out hundreds of thousands of gold coins at once...... That's too hard for a strong man. ”

"Of course, I won't let you bear the burden of your lordship. Joshua wasn't at all surprised by Viscount Resoth's reaction. He had seen too many of these things when he was promoting them in various places before. "In terms of funding, we will be responsible for the part, and the rest will be raised through other means, and your country's parliament will also provide some financial support. As for the Viscount, you just need to give you some support when necessary. ”

Viscount Rysos was stunned: "You said that the Kingdom Council will also pay for it, and you have obtained the approval of the Kingdom Council?"

"Yes. Joxiuan rummaged through his bag again, took out another copy and handed it to Viscount Ressos.

Seeing the emblem representing the Kingdom Council of the Falk Kingdom on this document, the expression on Viscount Resso's face became stern, and he took this document from Jo Xiu'an's hand and carefully read it twice, and after confirming that there should be no forgery, he couldn't help but glare at Jo Xiu'an dissatisfied.

Since this guy has the official document issued by the Kingdom Council in his hand, why didn't he take it out as soon as possible?

"Ahem...... Since the Royal Assembly has made it clear that it supports it, I will of course follow the advice of the Royal Assembly. But ......" Viscount Rysos deliberately lengthened his voice. "About Xiu'an...... What are you going to do, manager? If you do what you just said, what kind of transportation can be ......?"

"Energy provision. Jo Xiu'an reminded softly.

"Yes, if you get the energy supply and all that bunch of stuff out, I'm afraid it's impossible to get it done in a day or two?

"Of course. Joshua smiled and nodded. "Lord Viscount, based on my visit to the town of Arafat in the past two days, I think ...... Since the town of Arafat is now connected by a road, there is no need to worry about infrastructure construction in other aspects, and the first problems that need to be solved are actually mainly focused on education and training. ”

"Education and training?" Viscount Rysos looked at Joxiuan with some confusion. "What do you mean by this education and training?"

"It's simple. Joshua pulled Kompany, who had been sitting beside him without speaking. "You see, this is my wife's brother-in-law, Kompany, and he has two children, the eldest of whom is ten years old and the younger one who is almost six years old. But they have not been to school since childhood, and have not received any education and vocational skills-related training. ”

"Isn't that normal? Viscount Rysos wondered.

This Kompany looks like an ordinary commoner, how can he let his children run away to receive private education.

Let's not talk about whether he has so much money, first of all, he doesn't have that qualification at all.

Education is a power that only the aristocracy can have!

"No, it's not normal. Jo Xiu'an straightened his face, and shook his head sternly for the first time. "Viscount Resos, a person who has been educated since childhood, and a person who has not received a corresponding education, is completely different from the value that he can create when he grows up. If you want to grow better in the future and become richer in the future, then investing more in education is the most necessary. ”

Viscount Rysos was confused.

By allowing a few children of the common people to receive so-called education and training, can the small town of Alphao develop better?

How can it be so exaggerated.

Viscount Rysos didn't hide what he was thinking at all, so Joshua saw the suspicious look on his face, and of course understood what he was thinking.

However, he didn't intend to convince Viscount Resus just by words, and the purpose of coming this time was only to get his approval.

"Lord Viscount, you may not understand the meaning of this now, but I believe you will understand it later. In addition, our chamber of commerce has formally reached a cooperation agreement with the council of the kingdom of Falk on infrastructure promotion, and now after my investigation, I have decided to take Arafat town as the first pilot of our chamber of commerce's plan in the kingdom of Falk, and I hope that you, as the mayor of Alpha Town, will give enough support to this plan. ”

Viscount Rysos looked at the document signed by the Kingdom Council in his hand, pondered for a moment, and nodded helplessly.

"Well, I'll talk to you after I've sent an official letter to the council for advice. ”

"Okay. Joshua smiled and stood up. "Then Lord Viscount, in half a month, I will visit again, and I will have a detailed discussion with you at that time. (To be continued......)
