1835 Makino Morrowind (8)
In a high-end restaurant in the Rasti area, a fat man with a simple demeanor looked at the sparkling water of a long river in the distance, and an old man with a dry figure opposite him cherished the last bit of bread crumbs on the plate and put it into his mouth with a fork.
There was no one else on the entire third floor except for two people, and the huge hall was not too spacious, but a little cramped.
The fat man glanced at Duo Zhi, who was becoming more and more like a miser, took out a copy of Wen Jiàn from under his buttocks, put it on the table casually, and said with a wry smile at the corner of his mouth: "This is impossible, the empire has lost more than 10 million in the southwest region, where is the money to build a university in the Rasti region now, and the war here is preliminary, although it has been restored, it will only be next spring at the latest, didn't you propose to build the entire Rasti water network in winter? Why did you suddenly think of building a university!"
Duo Xue hesitated for a moment, with a rare smile on his face, and said, "This is the request of the Parabun Academy, His Majesty has invested heavily in a university in the southwest region, isn't it because the old scholars in Parabun are too high-minded, and they always think that such a thing as a university can only appear in a place like the thousand-year-old imperial capital of Paraven, and now it's okay, under His Majesty's heavy money, Obaro scholars are flocking here, and those guys think that the empire is going to shift the cultural center to Obaro, and they found me this time!" In any case, I still have the title of Honorary Lecturer of the Parabun Academy hanging over my head, so I can't pretend that I can't see anything like everyone else." "But this year I really don't have any money!"
The fat man spread his hands with a depressed expression. Said that he is now a typical example of poverty and whiteness, September. In the last month of the third quarter, the new fiscal and tax revenues have not yet been collected, and a lot of money has been spent. Although more than 50 million oil and water were scraped from the Dongting people, it was only in name, the real oil and water were in the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the more than 10 million yuan that was smashed by the construction of the Southwest University Mansion was still the fat man's own private money, and now it is still painful, the fat man said shamelessly, this kind of thing is to pretend to be a big money, which is to look glamorous on the surface. There are blood and tears inside,
Duo Xuan nodded unexpectedly, at the beginning of Aaron. He is such a tragic character like a little daughter-in-law, facing the old ship Doroke, which is full of holes, blocking left and right, and looking extremely beautiful on the surface. Known as the greatest guide of Dorok for hundreds of years. But what did it really bring to Dorok? Hunger, famine, widespread corruption, the death of hundreds of thousands of Dorok people, for a while, Duo Zhi had already decided in his heart that he was the culprit of these disasters in Dorok.
How much ability to do a lot of things, this is the restraint that a true leader should have, and he used to be in Doroke. Duo Zhi always thinks that the Vechia Falcon, who fed war with war and swept away the continent's number one power, Rui Erdian, must be a brutal military supremacist. All the power of the country is used for the military, and the civilian population suffers, but in fact, on the contrary, after throwing himself into the arms of the Vecchian Falcon, he sees that the financial context of the entire empire is not as he imagined,
Only less than half of the real used for the military, more wealth without hesitation into the infrastructure of the region, from the beginning, the Falcon Dynasty took a deviant road, deviating from the aristocratic foundation that lasted for thousands of years, but replacing the aristocratic civilization with commercial civilization, the most prosperous area must belong to the Falcon Dynasty, the wide road that can parallel four carriages at the same time is all over the country is only the Falcon Dynasty, the dense and bring a bumper harvest of water network system, the developed route center that can drive the wealth and trade of the country is still the Falcon Dynasty, here, merchants and commoners are the main body of the country, and the nobility has no privilegesIn order to be able to continue the family, a large number of nobles with a glorious family went to the sea to do business, here, you can't see the stereotypical lifelessness of several other countries, you can't see the drunken dreams of the nobles, but the pedestrians on the street exude the light of hope.
This emerging country swept across the continent of Ikadiva in a few years is not only military, but also more economic bases that have long thrown other countries out of the streets, and the person who forged this qiē is the young man in front of him, the emperor who is only 26 years old, a guy who stands like a god of war on the battlefield or in economic development, this is a legend that no one can surpass, so while expressing his agreement that the fat man has no money, he also sneers at the dead fat man's call for poverty." If it's really difficult, there is a way for his subordinates! The empire doesn't need to spend a penny, and the empire can be full of schools!" Duo Xue tilted his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his gray hair made him look like an old fox who saw a fat hen "Oh, let's talk about it" The fat man heard that he could get it without spending money, and his eyes were glowing, who said that education costs less, it really doesn't hurt to stand and talk, and the money spent by a university can build ten Imperial Dragon-class warships, which is the total amount of funds that the Imperial Navy only has in a year. "There are thousands of families in the empire that can be called wealthy businessmen now, all of them are emerging wealthy families with assets of more than one million, and the adoption of the mayor system by His Majesty can be said to have captured the psychology of these guys, and they are eager to jump on the table, and His Majesty can also completely delegate the power of college construction to the city!"
"Is this appropriate for the merchant to study the academy?" the fat man blinked with some hesitation,
"Appropriate, and very proper!" The corners of Duo Xue's mouth twitched, he is a real nobleman, and he has a deep understanding of many wealthy businessmen from noble backgrounds, those wealthy families who are no longer glorious, but they are dreaming of restoring the glory of the family, and those families who have previously jumped into wealthy families also want to make their families glorious for a hundred years.
Therefore, for the construction of the academy, which is a boastful thing after a hundred years, it will never be refused, and as an attractive new city, a city with a university is undoubtedly the most attractive to the population, just look at the millennium imperial capital Parabun, the whole continent agrees that Parabun, which has fallen apart a thousand years ago, is a thousand-year orthodoxy, isn't it because the Parabun Academy is still standing after hundreds of years,
Although the cost is huge. But if the wealthy businessmen of a city are united, it is not a problem to build one or two small colleges, in some big cities. It is also possible to build universities, so that the empire's problems in the education of the lower and middle levels will be solved" The multi-choice said in a slow tone, "You mean to allow private education?" The fat man shuddered when he heard it, and looked at the multi-choice who was foaming at the mouth, and sure enough, he was the speaker of the council who was born in incitement, and he could see more thoroughly than himself in mobilizing civil forces, "That's pretty much what it means." I had wanted to do this before in Dorok, but it didn't work, even though I was the Speaker. There is also the embarrassment of being rejected by the council!To get those guys who want to make money out of everything, but it is more difficult than ascending to the sky" Duo Xue shook his head with a shuffled face, indicating that if His Majesty had any hesitation. Rasti can be the first pilot. If something goes wrong, in such a newly pacified area, it will all be overthrown, and there is no need to use much force.
"Okay, let's start this winter! I'll give you this power, but the ugly words are ahead, when the time comes, there will really be chaos, and the army should march into the city to kill people. It's useless for you to stop it!" The fat man took a deep breath, the educational foundation of the empire was too weak. I can spend a lot of money to smash a university, but I can't smash a college in hundreds of cities in the empire, not to mention the number of countless small towns to build primary schools, relying on the Sky Temple system to develop the theology of education is too heavy, after a long time, it is inevitable that the kingship and the divine power will collide again.
Giving education to the private sector can save a lot of money in the empire, but the nature of the businessman's pursuit of interests makes the fat man very uneasy, but it is worth trying, at least it can also guide the direction of private funds, forming a trend of running schools for all, it is better than these guys who have more money and no place to spend gradually develop a social atmosphere of comparing luxury, and wait until such a system is established, and then the empire will find a way to carry out macro management
"Don't block it, as long as Your Majesty agrees!"
Duo Xue raised his head in a strange tone, and stacked the shiny plates that he almost didn't get to add to them, he wasn't like this before, although he was hungry when he was a teenager and a young man, but he didn't fall to the point of licking the plates, and this time, the old man who was supervising the water network connected to the river, hurriedly nibbled a loaf of bread from noon yesterday, until he saw the fat man, there were some problems with the construction of the water network, and the torrential rain that hit the Danny area some time ago also did not let go of the Lusti area, and there were floods in many places,
Half of the water network that had been built for a whole quarter was washed away, and he ran back and forth between many places, and fell ill directly on the way to the inspection, the fat man hurriedly ran from the southwest district to visit, and when he arrived at the governor's palace, he got the news that this guy ran to the most severe area where the water network was washed away, and the angry war horses did not come down, and rushed directly to here, and the fat man wanted to persuade this old man, who was already over the age of sixteen and always lamented that there was not much time, was old, and he was still a young man! Don't toss yourself up and down by then!
To be honest, this flood is too weird, far more than I expected, I want to find someone to help, only to find no one to find, Majesty Xià happens to be the creator of the water network system, rather than asking about people, it is better to ask His Majesty directly for advice" Chose to roll up the cuffs of his clothes, stood up from the opposite seat, his outfit was extremely ordinary, and the fat man's clothes were not gorgeous, a simple civilian clothes, "In fact, I don't understand the water network!" But maybe the blind cat can touch the dead mouse," the fat man smiled innocently, telling the truth, he was just a theoretical creator, and the actual hands-on work was handed over to the people below. At the beginning, it was Lidarchus who repaired the water network, and the guy who was engaged in logistics was always able to perfectly realize the above intentions, and he just drew a rough sketch, and the guy built the water network according to the sketch, although it was very simple, with many shortcomings, water breaks, floods, or something often happened, but at least it provided the basis for the empire's water network technology, and with the continuous improvement in the future, there was a water network technology that the empire now has quite a standard
The two of them came down from the floor, followed by twenty guards who stayed outside, and then ten guards from the Governor's Palace outside, more than thirty people at a time, and the mighty procession attracted a lot of attention from the streets for a while, for the old man who had been patrolling the dam for more than half a day, the locals only thought that it was the investigators sent by the Governor's Palace, and they chose to be easy-going and approachable, and they ran around with a few guards who completely concealed their identities, and they only asked about the situation when the flood broke out. It's really hard to connect with the governor of the powerful side of the Falcon Empire,
"You all go back first!I'll take a walk with the Governor of Duoxuan," the fat man waved his hand in displeasure with an unhappy face,
"陛xià. This is absolutely not possible, the security of His Majesty is at stake in the safety of the Empire......" The captain of the guard in charge of security had an ugly face
"Don't worry, without you following, who will go crazy and find trouble with two inconspicuous people! It's only when you are in trouble!" The corner of the fat man's mouth twitched, in fact, he had his own plans, and it was really inconvenient to say something in front of too many people, otherwise it would become a joke. The guards could only stop and follow from a distance of 100 meters.
"Strange to say, there were no floods here before! At least not on that scale! Because of the lack of adequate preparation. So the water network here is almost completely destroyed" Duo Xue walked on the mud-covered embankment with a sad face, watching his painstaking efforts turn into piles of pebbles and mud washed away by the water, and his face was full of bitterness, indicating that the flood broke out quite strangely. The water network behind the levee was completely washed away. More than a month of hard work all in vain, the structure of the water network is fine, the embankment is also very strong, if you can't find the problem, the water network here will be completely paralyzed" Duo Xue stopped his voice, looking at the fat man with a look of hope, he has not withdrawn, if the water network here cannot be repaired. It will affect a third of the Rasti region.
Under the hopeful gaze of the multi-choice, the fat man's eyebrows were raised. Squatting down, he pretended to look around, "If I'm not mistaken, it's a problem with the river, for example, somewhere in the upper reaches of the river has been blocked, although it has been dredged, but a lot of sludge has been silted, so that the bottom of the river is raised, and you can't usually see anything, and when you encounter a flood of a certain scale, the flood will unceremoniously sweep the silt down, and the water network behind the embankment will be washed down along the raised river, so you just need to get rid of the silt"
"The river has been raised by silt?"
Duo Xue was stunned for a while, how much does it take to raise the silt of a river channel! But since it was what His Majesty Falcon said, Duo Xue immediately sent someone to check upstream, and sure enough, thirty miles upstream, he found that there were many piles of mud on the middle line of the river, and there used to be a barrage here! The person sent was from the military, and after a general look, he made such a judgment and replied, and Duo Ze was very shocked when he heard it, could it be that the Falcon of Vekia just left is not only the god of war, but now he is also a part-time god stick?
Anyway, it's easy to know where the symptoms are,
Duo Zhi immediately organized people to clean up the mud upstream, and the fat man had just entered a villa in the Rusti area, which was purchased by Dark Thorn during the war, and the environment was good, and through the window, he could enjoy the gorgeous maple forest on the opposite hill in autumn.
Handing over the cloak to the guard, the fat man walked into a clean office humming a tune, pulled out a wine stopper that could cost a thousand gold coins outside, poured a glass into the transparent crystal cup, and took a sip gently, the fat man's heart was extremely refreshing. Duo Zhi must be surprised now!
In order to drive the battleship into the internal water section of the Rasti checkerboard network, the fat man deliberately ordered people to block the river in some sections to raise the water level so that the battleship could pass through guò, and after the war, the dams that raised the water level were cleared, but the silt accumulated in the interception area did not have the kung fu to manage, and such an environment was not overflowing with floods.
If it weren't for the problem with the multi-choice repair water network, no one would have mentioned this matter.
It is very dangerous to intercept the river dam during the flood period, and the time requirement is short, and it is a strict order from His Majesty the Falcon, so the Second Army of the South directly mobilized 17,000 Gallic prisoners in its hands at that time, and less than 5,000 people survived in the end. The fat man squinted his eyes, the delicious wine swirled around the base of his tongue, the sweet and sour grape flavor was faint and strong, and a guard walked in with a letter, and said with some hesitation,
"A letter from Gallic Kyoto?" the fat man took the letter unexpectedly, it turned out to be just a very ordinary letter, not a secret letter from the Imperial Army, nor a report from that guy, but since the Southwest Intelligence Department did not tear it up on the spot, he said that this letter was valuable.
Curiously opened the letter, the fat man's eyes immediately narrowed into a line, it turned out to be a letter from his so-called "mistress", no wonder,
This woman can't go through the channels of the military, she can only take the route of the Ministry of Intelligence, but this woman who pulls her tiger flag is said to be a mixed party in Gallic Kyoto, and the obscure identity of Vikia's falcon mistress has made her play amazing again and again in Gallic Kyoto, and it is rare to be regarded as a channel that can communicate with the high-level of the Falcon Empire.
At this point, even the fat man can only smile bitterly, he knew that the name of his mistress was so valuable, he should have stuffed 12,000 mistresses into Gallic Kyoto, it is estimated that the Gauls will not even sleep peacefully, but unfortunately, I am afraid that the wives will be jealous, and I don't want to sleep well......!
