Blue Silk City is not rich in blue velvet, but it seldom rains here, the weather is always sunny, and the blue sky is as beautiful as velvet.
Alfred liked this city. He and Matthias lived in the same manor and chatted until late at night with good wine and delicious food.
Reggie was not in the mood to chat, and chatting with these old foxes was too energy-consuming. The government affairs of Shattering Snow Country were not yet that mature, and during the days of the expedition, a lot of troubles had occurred in some places.
First, the cotton in Drawing City was seriously unsaleable, and cotton farmers began to gather together to cause trouble.
Reggie was not surprised by this. The mainland's economy has reached the brink of collapse. Most countries have been brought down by the war. Countries that have not been affected by the war have also spent their limited gold coins on food. When they are not full,
, people don’t spend money on clothes.
All cotton can only be sold domestically, but the population of the Snow Country is limited, and after several years of cultivation in Drawshaft City, the cotton output has set a new record.
The cotton farmers' problem was easily solved. Reggie allocated gold coins with a stroke of his pen and purchased all the cotton.
It is not difficult to solve the problem once, but if Origino continues to struggle in the flames of war, the economy of Shattered Snow Country will collapse sooner or later.
The second problem is steel production. Although Jinguang City has added six iron smelting plants, the transportation capacity is still a bottleneck that cannot be broken. As a rigid need for the war, the consumption of steel has once again exceeded the production speed.
The economic situation of Silver Pine City has improved significantly, but serious corruption has occurred among local officials. More than 40,000 gold coins were confiscated from the home of a commercial officer. For Silver Pine City, where the per capita annual income is less than one gold coin,
, such an official should be hung on the gravel.
This was an ironclad case with little to discuss, but Nipoli wanted to intercede for this official. Reggie saw the official's performance. He opened up the domestic and foreign sales of wood pulp paper. Under his suggestion, the bank
Songcheng built three paper mills, which not only created a lot of wealth, but also found jobs for many people.
This was a very capable official, and the wealth he brought was much more than the gold coins he was greedy for. In the early days of establishment, Silver Pine City needed such a capable official, but after hesitating for a long time, Reggie still issued the order to be executed.
Tolerance without principles will turn into a virus and infect Silverpine City, which has just begun to grow, with an incurable disease. Before the virus starts to spread, it must be eradicated.
The next news made Reggie even more depressed. The Heavenly Punishers resurrected and they burned two orc peons to death near Hanmaple Fortress.
Reggie was furious that these gangsters dared to commit murder in a military important area. All the captured Heavenly Punishers were burned at the stake, and Will Rogers was given two months to find the leader of this group of Heavenly Punishers.
Some farmers privately sold their land to wealthy businessmen. A businessman from Baita Kingdom bought more than 1,700 acres of land in Jinguang City.
Reggie asked Decto to give the wealthy businessman a message: either give up his land and leave the Shattered Snow Country within a time limit, or give up his life and leave everything in the Shattered Snow Country.
As for farmers who sell their land, their land will be confiscated, the proceeds from the sale will be confiscated, and they will be whipped.
Selling land is illegal in Suixue City. If you don’t want to farm, you can rent the land to others. If you feel that the land is a burden, you can get rid of the burden forever.
…
After reading more than 30 government affairs, I finally saw a piece of good news. The first railway in Suixue City was opened to traffic. The first train in Suixue City, the Fire Dragon No. 1, spewed thick smoke and pulled the whistle all the way to the dock.
, loaded with coal and arrived at the foot of Broken Snow Mountain.
The residents of Shattered Snow City witnessed this great moment, and they cheered for the lord's magical power for a whole day.
After a day, the cheers turned to jeers.
The Fire Dragon One lacked power and was unable to climb the Snowy Mountain. It was stranded under the city for three full days, and Reggie was laughed at by all the residents for three full days.
The locomotive depot was in Suixue City, and the train could not turn around under the city. Suixue No. 1 was not equipped with a reverse gear and could not reverse. In desperation, Khalaf hired 200 day laborers to unload the coal at the foot of the mountain and push the train forward.
Broken Snow City.
In the past two years, this railway and this train have consumed nearly half of the steel in the Snowflake Country. Now the train is sealed in the garage, and the railway has become a topic of ridicule for Reggie.
"Laugh, laugh as much as you want!" Reggie gritted his teeth, "Do you think I will be afraid of your ridicule? Do you think I have never done anything more embarrassing?"
Late at night, tired Reggie walked out of the house. He wanted to visit Yang Qiu.
Yang Qiu is a rare talent, extremely talented and intelligent, and has a calm and sophisticated temperament.
Reji needs such talents, but there is a gap between him and Yang Qiu that is difficult to eliminate. Yang Qiu participated in the rebellion of the Hades Wizards. Reji should not have let him live to this day, and so far, he has no feelings for Reji.
Showed absolute loyalty.
Maybe it's because of everything he has paid for Tuodao, or maybe it's because he is a Dongsang person and he has the blood of Qinges Continent. Something about him strongly resonates with Reggie's previous life. In short, Reggie
I couldn't bear to kill him.
In front of Yang Qiu's door, two nurses were sleeping soundly and sweetly. Modesa wanted to kick them awake, but she smelled a different smell in the room.
"Stand behind me!" Modessa pulled out his musket, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. There were only a handful of people who could make him so nervous. Reggie quickly stepped aside and fired his musket.
Pulled it out.
"Don't worry, I have no other intentions," a familiar voice came from the room, "I just want to see my miserable disciple."
It's Saga! He actually sneaked into Lansi City and came under Reggie's nose quietly.
This is the legendary pervasiveness. If Saga wants to be an assassin, any target he targets will probably die.
"Your idea is too absolute," Saga sighed, "If I had that kind of ability, I would immediately go to Jiaoye City and kill Kui Sha."
Reggie was startled. It seemed that Saga's witchcraft had improved again. He could actually hear his own voice from such a long distance.
Modesa did not dare to slack off. He carefully opened the door and found that Saga was feeding Yang Qiu some decoction. Yang Qiu woke up, but could not speak yet. Judging from his expression, he was very happy. His eyes kept staring.
Saga is like a boy staring at his father.
Reggie sighed softly: "I'm so sorry, I didn't take good care of him."
"I expect you to take care of him?" Saga sneered, "He is extremely lucky to be alive today."
"There is really no excuse," Reggie said with a wry smile. "To this day, I still don't know the reason for his injury."
"It's a spell backlash. Someone identified the key points of the magic circle and directly caused lightning to hit the caster."
"Identification? Backlash? Are you talking about Alice?" Reggie shook his head and said, "Although I didn't see the guy's face clearly, I'm sure he is a man."
"Alice doesn't have such a skill yet, but someone has learned her witchcraft." Saga put down the jar, looked at Reggie and said, "Emperor Suixue, I don't mean to offend you, but I have to know one thing.
Seriously, did you really kill the demon king Mandasa?"
