Philip laughed dumbly, the hostility between the local city and the provincial capital city existed in that world, the provincial capital city occupied most of the economic resources of a province for political reasons, and the natural development rate exceeded that of the local city, so it was relatively rich, and the people in the provincial capital city naturally looked down on the people in the local city, and always thought that they were countrymen from small places.

The people in the local cities think that all the funds and policies that should belong to them have been taken away by the provincial capital, and it is the provincial capital city that has caused the local development to be very slow, so they are hostile to the provincial capital, thinking that they have taken away what belongs to them, plus the provincial capital.

In addition, the class concept of the people in this world is still very heavy, the Afrikans consider themselves to be residents of the provincial capital, born to be people of big cities, and they look down on people in other parts of Galia from the bones, and even have a kind of "they are inferior", even if the development of Lobit is faster than that of Africa, and the economy is more prosperous, they still think that Lobit is an upstart.

Over time, the two places became hostile to each other.

Now, the Seven Cities have united in a letter, demanding not only that Galia be reunited, but also that Lobit and Galia be reunited, and that Lobit be the provincial capital, so that the Lobites can finally despise the Africans in turn.

Not only do you not have the money, but you are also rednecks from small places!

With these words, the Lobbites can finally be returned to the Africans intact!

Outside the window, the man playing a musical instrument had jumped into a carriage and stood on the roof of it. Facing the direction of the Lord's Mansion, playing and singing, behind him was a crowd of people who were following and shouting slogans, they raised their hands in the air, as if cheering in the direction of the Lord's Mansion.

"Hooray, lord!"

"Lord Philip, I love you!"

......

The sound came from several unclosed windows, and outside, the voices of people saluting Philip. The feelings of ordinary people are the most simple. Whoever gives them benefits, who makes them glorious, is their loveliest person.

Pushing open the floor-to-ceiling window, Philip stood in front of it. Wave to those outside the fence. Enjoying this glorious moment that belongs to him.

——————

Interaction with civilians ended. Philip was just about to sit down to attend to some business when Grace walked in from outside, clutching a magic letter in his hand. The pale blue light flowed in the duchess's hand, and it looked very beautiful.

"The Watson family wants the Electric Magic Chamber of Commerce to develop magical weapons that the bloodline can use?"

Philip looked at the contents of the letter, mainly because the Watson family wanted Philip to make a batch of magic weapons for the human warriors recruited by the Watson family.

This reminded him of his previous work with some design institutes.

Some projects that require a lot of calculation and theoretical research are often entrusted to universities or design institutes, and it is difficult to complete this kind of project that needs basic theoretical support by direct project units alone, and it is impossible for the direct developer of the project to invest too much in the research equipment that is not used several times a year, and it is impossible to hire some experts and scholars who are engaged in basic research all year round and cannot directly bring economic benefits.

For example, the control equipment manufacturers of the Celestial Empire, when they broke the monopoly of Europe and the United States in high-end control equipment, commissioned the top universities of the Celestial Empire to conduct research on the fluid mechanics of equipment, basic materials science, and microelectronic chip design.

Now, the Watson family seems to be following the same path as these device manufacturers, with Philip having the Lobit Academy, James as a top scholar, and a large number of magic crystal mines, which are the best for designing magical weapons. Of course, Philip also has a magical electrical magic technique, which can make the research of magic weapons more effective with half the effort.

"Franklin, how are the students of the Magic Department at the academy studying?"

James is the honorary dean, but he is mainly studying the new techniques of electrical magic, and Philip is mainly grasping the development of Lobit Academy in the general direction, and most of the current daily management falls on Franklin, and these details must be asked to the old butler.

"With the magicians of the Elven Kingdom, the magic students are making rapid progress and are already learning all the necessary knowledge for intermediate magicians. ”

"Oh, so fast?" Philip raised his eyebrows, very surprised, not all the students brought by James himself were intermediate magicians, and ordinary students were progressing faster?

"That's not it, the main reason is that the theoretical knowledge of junior magicians has been learned in advance, and the students can't always meditate, and the young people always can't sit still, so the three elven great magicians discussed with me and asked the students to learn some basic knowledge of intermediate magicians in advance. ”

The three great magicians are the three most powerful magicians in the group of elven teachers that Seymour supported him, and it seems that they are still very serious and responsible.

"In this way, find a few teachers who know magic weapons to guide students in the skills of magic weapons, set up a magic weapons research department under Lobit Academy, recruit part-time students and teachers to make magic weapons for the Watson family, and also set up a research group to conduct magic weapons research, you allocate research funds according to their requirements, as long as it is not too much, you call the shots. ”

With the full rollout of the magic energy network, the income of the Electric Magic Chamber of Commerce can now be measured in daily income, almost every household can use the magic lamp without worry, those merchants are even more open all night, and Lobit wants to be a city of lights that will never be extinguished at night.

Long hours of business, the use of cheap lighting can expand the income of merchants, more and more merchants move to Lobit, there are more and more shops in the city, the construction period of each expansion of Lobit has not been completed, and there are new expansion plans on the agenda, in order to accommodate new immigrants faster and more, Philip even stripped off the other wall of Lobit, except for those cities occupied by the enemy, there has never been a city in the history of Bugas like Lobit, only two directions have walls, and the other two directions are completely unprotected by walls。

The more people there are, the more taxes they receive, and the more money the Electrical Magic Chamber of Commerce can make, and sometimes, he doesn't even need to look at the small amount of more than 100 gold coins, and directly let Franklin deal with it. In order to deal with the sea of books every day, the economics students at Lobit College even have to go to the finance department to help.

With the arrival of the gold coins, a magic weapon research department has been set up in Lobit Academy, which provides raw materials by the Electric Magic Chamber of Commerce, and students can make magic weapons in this research department as long as they pass the assessment of the elf magician, and the Electric Magic Chamber of Commerce will purchase them according to the power of the magic weapon, and then pay a fee to the maker, which is also equivalent to an additional work-study project in Lobit Academy.

Although the money the students get can't catch up with the wages of the manufacturing workers in the magic weapon workshops outside, they don't have to pay for the raw materials themselves, and they don't have to lose money if they do it badly, and the elf teacher is on the side to guide them, which is something that those capitalist businessmen can't give.

Moreover, here, they could also meet the magical lord of Lobit, the magical great magician who could fill thousands of homes with light, sitting beside them at the moment, clumsily carving a magic circle into a long sword, just like these students. (To be continued......)
