"In the land of the Empire, there are tens of millions of peasants, do you think that so-called factory of yours can hold so many people?"

When Princess Dorothea heard Xia Lin's words, she frowned, obviously disagreeing with Xia Lin's inference.

In her impression, the workshop was just a place where a dozen or so craftsmen gathered together to produce, and the factory should be more or less existing.

"Your Royal Highness, if it is an ordinary workshop, it is naturally impossible to accommodate so many peasants to work, but the factory is different.

When the first chimney stands on the ground and the machines in the factory begin to roar with civilization, change has already arrived.

And the biggest aspect of this change is the change in productivity.

The so-called productivity is the ability of a person or a group to produce materials.

Today, the productivity of a small workshop can only meet the needs of a dozen or dozens of people.

But in a factory, a single worker can produce several times or even dozens of times the materials of a small workshop, and at that time, it will not be a delusion that everyone will be fed and clothed.

Only such a factory will organize its hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of workers to work in it, so as to produce enough materials to satisfy the whole society. ”

"How can there be such a thing in the world?"

Faced with the huge factory that Xia Lin envisioned completely contrary to their worldview, Elsa questioned with a look of disbelief.

"How could there be no such thing? The change I'm talking about is already happening.

Perhaps the two ladies can learn about the recent roving market and spinning market in the imperial capital.

The recent price volatility in these two markets has been so great that countless spinners have stopped spinning and many women spinners at the bottom have lost their jobs.

And that's because I designed a new spinning machine for the Greg family, which is dozens of times more efficient than traditional spinning machines, so one spinner is equivalent to dozens of spinners before.

There are hundreds of new spinning machines in the sheds set up outside Greg Manor, employing the same number of female spinners, which is what I call a factory. ”

Xia Lin took a sip of green tea and talked eloquently.

"Is that the factory?"

Princess Dorothea, who attended the banquet held by the Greg family, naturally knew about the changes that had taken place in the Greg family, and even Xia Lin was highly recommended to her by Ellen Greg after she asked curiously.

Naturally, Dorothea had seen the spinning shed outside Greg's Manor, and indeed saw a lot of new machines stacked inside.

"That's right, that's the basic prototype of the factory, and I also have a purpose for this trip, that is, to get the support of Her Royal Highness, so that I can get a piece of land in the slum for the construction of seven factories to form an industrial park, to mass produce red bricks, cement, sugar, paper, soda ash, cloth and other products.

These products have great profit margins, and I have also reached a cooperation with His Excellency Manan, the head of the Royal Academy of Magic.

Doesn't Her Royal Highness find it uncomfortable that Hurgana, the imperial capital of the great Sassen Empire, is next to a slum as ugly as a tumor?

I would like to take the lead in initiating a slum upgrading programme to transform slums into new urban areas comparable to those of the North and South districts.

At that time, the new town will not only provide a steady stream of tax revenue, but also allow the people of the empire to bask in the light of Her Royal Highness. ”

Xia Lin took this opportunity to make his own request, and finally put forward a plan for the slum transformation that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"What kind of support do you need? What do I get besides fame? ”

The princess Dorothea was obviously a little moved, she knew the profit of the sugar, and if the paper was guaranteed by Dean Manan's vision, it should not be bad.

"First, land, I need a legal land certificate, which is currently about 80 arls, and the demand for this part will gradually increase in the future.

Second, money, it costs a lot of money to invest in a factory, and my industrial park plan will cost a total of 1400 gold lundes.

At present, only the Greg family is willing to invest 300 gold lundes, and the remaining 1100 gold lunds are still being raised, and I hope that Her Royal Highness will be able to invest some of them, and at the same time raise some more from those who are willing to follow you.

Third, relationship, I need to rely on the strength of Her Royal Highness to temporarily hire some royal craftsmen, including blacksmiths, carpenters, and gemstones, in addition to some connections that I need, and also help contact her through the power of Her Royal Highness. ”

Xia Lin explained his requirements in detail, and then said in a confident and firm tone:

"If Her Royal Highness is willing to support me, then I will provide 25% of the shares in these factories, and Her Royal Highness will become the largest shareholder in these factories.

At the same time, Her Royal Highness may soon be able to see the new world, the new empire I envisioned.

This empire will be even more powerful than the Sassen Empire founded by Albis the Great.

It was able to easily assemble millions of soldiers, each armed with swords made of steel and well-armoured, to conquer every inch of the continent for His Majesty the Emperor.

It is capable of producing and transporting supplies as vast as the Dragonbone Mountains, so that everyone in the empire can be fed and clothed and bathed in the glory of His Majesty the Emperor.

It was able to conquer the world and bring the Christians of the North, the Natives of the South, the Sains of the East, and the Elves, Half-Elves, Subhumans, and Dwarves of the West into the territory of this great empire.

At that time, not even the sea will be able to isolate our footsteps, and even the sky will not be able to contain our ambitions. Our journey, in the kingdom of the gods in the sky, the vast sea of stars! ”

With such a majestic ambition, Ren is the second princess of the empire, and Dorothea has never thought of conquering the whole world and stepping into the kingdom of the gods in the sky, does this young man really know what he is talking about?

But Dorothea's blood was boiling for the first time in a long time, and the last time she felt such a warm and surging emotion was when she rode the half-breed horse given to her by her father for the first time as a child, and galloped through the endless wilderness of the countryside.

After weighing the pros and cons and realizing that what she could gain from this plan was far more than she could give, she decided to follow her inner instincts and deliver her trust:

"If you can do what you say, then you will get what you need!"

On this seemingly sunny and ordinary afternoon, Her Royal Highness Dorothea, the second queen daughter of the Sassen Empire, was fooled into his camp by Xia Lin, a PPT Dafa Xiaocheng person.

Beside them was Elsa Hozia, who was watching the two of them like a madman.
