"Gentlemen, take a look, there's a new shipment, cigarettes from the Flying Wing Kingdom. Take a sip to refresh your mind and ensure that you are more productive. ”

The little boy wore a flat hat, a blue shirt, black suspenders, and a box hanging from his chest, in which were placed cigarettes marking from various countries, and passers-by came to buy them from time to time, some to buy a pack, and some to disassemble and buy one or two.

The Tor Federation focuses on food and agriculture, and most of the cigarettes that have become popular in the past two years rely on imports, in fact, not only cigarettes, but most of the novelties in the Federation rely on imports. But now there was an industrial boom in the southern part of the Union, factories were popping up overnight, and a large number of civilians were recruited as workers.

The textile factories produced a steady stream of cloth bearing the Torce's logo, which had just been removed from the workshop and transported to steam locomotives for transport to other countries. The same is true of the nail factory, the knife and fork factory, and the other factories of the ironworks, which seem to have endless work to do, and are very different from the slow pace of life that used to be.

The industrial revolution in this world is slightly different from that on Earth, but history is always strikingly similar, and Charon knew that once he got on this car, the benefits would be unimaginable. The war reparations of the Flying Wing Kingdom, as well as the savings of the Del family, some of the money spent on armaments were invested in the textile industry and various new means of transportation extended by the new power steam engine.

With a large amount of money, the south of Thors became one of the largest cloth producers in just a few months, and the track laying of steam locomotives connected the nine main cities, whether it was imported or exported, relying on steam locomotives, which greatly saved transportation time.

If it weren't for the lack of funds and the amount of work required to lay the tracks, Charon wanted to make steam locomotives go through every town, so that the products of various places could circulate with each other and build a large market. Nowadays, this is not possible, and the main city of the eight old districts and the new district can only be used as a transit hub, but this has allowed the short- and medium-distance transportation industry to be fully developed, and the main road connecting the town to the main city is carried by numerous horse-drawn carriages every day.

In the past, there was a large number of labor force left in the township, and the young and strong who were not selected by the army could only nest in their hometowns, and three people did what one person could do, and lived a basic life with a meager salary. But now people are needed everywhere, factories need people, transportation industries need people, and people need people to sell goods, as long as you do it, the salary is several times higher than before, and with money, you can let your family buy products from other places, improve your living standards, and change the way of life.

The calm society is gradually becoming impatient, everyone is working hard, people who seize the opportunity to get rich overnight abound, and the sprout of capital has broken through the ground and is developing rapidly.

Charon knew that he had suddenly accelerated everything, and while winning the opportunity, it would also bring a lot of drawbacks, and this time he took the time to return to the south just to sort them out one by one, he didn't want the rule of the Del family to be overthrown by the big capitalists in the future, and he didn't want the deformed development to lead to a weak successor in the future.

"All capitalists can only be the wheels of a chariot, and the only one who drives this chariot is the Del family. ”

The cold voice spread throughout the venue, dozens of people gathered around the conference table about twenty meters long, and those who could sit here were all loyal people carefully cultivated by the Del family, and the industries under the name of the Del family were usually handed over to them to take care of, and the economic lifeline of the Del family was in the hands of these people, and the Del family controlled them.

"Large textile factories should be controlled in their hands, small workshops should also have reasonable and standardized management, the general direction and guidelines I have given, the specific details and implementation by you to fill, I will set up a regulatory department to supervise the progress and effect, I hope you do not let me down. ”

Everyone agreed in unison, and no one looked up at Charon, who was sitting on a high place, even if he couldn't suppress his curiosity and peeked out of the corner of his eye, it was a blur, as if the light around him was distorted.

Even if they are the social elites cultivated by the Del family, they only know that the Del family is the ruler of the south, basically all the transcendents are included in the management, and the southern army is also their family's private army. As for the appearance of the head of the family, they have never seen it, and the mystery makes people feel awe.

"The first batch of students sent out to study technology will soon return home and put them in suitable positions to develop our place as a place of revolution. We should monopolize the key core industries, and the secondary industries should also occupy a large share, and the parts that we do not control should also be broken up into small-scale and small collectives as much as possible. ”

Charon clapped his hands, and the attendants handed out plans to the people attending the meeting, he was not a businessman, but under the constant indoctrination of the information age, he also knew a lot about how business operated. He only listed the general points, and how to implement them was the business of these people.

After the general direction was determined, Charon stopped talking and quietly listened to the opinions of the crowd. The meeting lasted for a long time, except for the lunch break, almost the whole day was spent in discussions, after all, this meeting was related to the development of the next three years.

After the meeting, Charon, accompanied by Stien and Doron, went to the Sirian Hotel, which was the property of the Del family and where he rested tonight.

The Sirian Hotel is only ten stories high, white all over, with red scarf bands around the edges, and a large open space in front of the door, planted with half-height flower beds and vegetation on both sides, and a disc-shaped fountain in the center, and the windows of the building are brightly lit and the figures are gone.

As soon as he entered the hall, Charlie, the hotel manager, stood in a line with a line of attendants, waiting for the distinguished guests. In the eyes of outsiders, Charlie has a deep background, even in the face of government officials or big businessmen, he is arrogant, as if he does not belong to the same level as others, and he is never afraid of offending people, where has he ever seen him waiting for others so humbly.

Just when everyone was surprised, a group of mermaids rushed in, and a Ling Ran momentum suddenly burst into the palatial hall, and the merchant lady only felt a tightness in her chest, this feeling was like facing a superior person, but it was a little different, as if there was a gap between the two life levels.

Surrounded by the crowd, Charon walked to the center of the hall, sensing the sight around him, he pressed his hat, his facial muscles twisted, and his original appearance changed slightly.

Charlie stepped forward quickly and bowed deeply, "Charlie has met Your Excellency, and it is a great honor for Charlie to be here. ”

"Don't be so polite, Mr. Charlie, I know your loyalty, and now take me to a resting place. ”

Hearing the praise, Charlie was overjoyed, straightened his back, and stood to the side to lead Charon, and his demeanor also fell into the eyes of everyone, and the keen people whispered to each other.

"Do you know where that gentleman came from?"

"I don't know, but Mr. Charlie must have a deep background in such a grand welcome, maybe we can do more business with this line. ”

The two merchants looked at each other, and each turned to order his men to investigate, but no matter how much they searched, they could not find any useful information. By this time, Charon had already walked up the stairs accompanied by Charlie.
