Chapter 371(1/2)
: Getting the bag for peace
He took a few subordinates to raft on the canal and admired the natural scenery on both sides of the straits. A spirit of "instructing the country and inspiring words" arises naturally.
Unfortunately, the more you move forward, the less satisfied the canal. The narrowest place is the water surface is only more than twenty meters wide; the shallowest place is only four meters deep.
In such a river, a small boat worth hundreds of tons is OK. If you come to meet a few big boats with one or two thousand tons, it will probably be a feeling of a wrong car on the country road.
"Jacob, what did your government department do? Why didn't it meet the design requirements?"
Hudson asked angrily.
He invested a lot of manpower, financial resources and material resources, and the canal he created finally failed to meet expectations. Isn’t this a slap in the face of Mr. Hudson?
According to the initial plan, after the artificial canal with a total length of more than 200 kilometers is opened, it will be the canal with the strongest navigation capacity in the Kingdom of Alpha.
Even the slogans, Hudson had a conspiracy in his mind. In the future, this "Swamp Grand Canal" will be a business card for the mountain territory to the outside world, showing the development of territorial transportation to the outside world, so as to avoid being considered a small countryside place.
Unfortunately, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. From the current situation, the capacity of the Grand Canal of the Swamp is similar to that of several artificial canals in the kingdom, and it cannot gain the reputation of maximum navigation capacity.
"Master Earl, we all carry out construction according to the plan. In theory, we can carry two giant ships in parallel.
However, the water flow in the canal cannot keep up, and even if we have introduced multiple water sources in the territory, it still cannot meet expectations.
According to the current development progress, it will take us at least five years to complete the farmland transformation of the swamp. The subsequent water conservancy project construction can only be postponed later.
But relocation of a shipyard is a troublesome job. Not only does it require moving the factory, machinery and equipment, shipbuilding raw materials, but it also requires moving employees and families.
The news that he was able to deceive Caesar IV proved that his subordinates did a good job in confidentiality and had not yet been leaked.
If you offend a stupid fool like Maxim, it would be easy to solve it. If you design a few traps, you can always get the beasts.
If the relationship eases, it is also a competitor. Especially when the Koslow family wants to go to the ocean, they have directly collided with the Dalton family.
As for the little tricks in the secret, I will let Maxim go over and wander around to shock those little ones."
"There is a solution, but the investment costs are a bit large, the time is also taken, and there is no guarantee of success.
Next, your government department has a heavy task. Economic development is a long-term process, and in the short term, you can only choose industries suitable for mountainous land.
Theoretically, Hudson could also build a stepped canal, build a dam in the middle to store water to ensure water levels, and open the gates at a fixed time every day to prevent water and navigate.
Misunderstanding leads to wrong results, so Hudson naturally won't help correct it.
Lending a pile of paper to help the kingdom overcome the financial crisis, everyone still has such a little patriotic sentiment.
The Ministry of Government plans to expand the tributaries of the canal after the swamp is fully developed. It can not only facilitate daily irrigation, but also introduce the accumulated water from the Blackstone Mountains into the canal.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jose! Governor Pierce is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration and will not provoke disputes at such a time.
In addition to salt, there is another industry - fishery.
But Berkshire Shipyard is not bordering us, and we have to pass the Dalton family's territory halfway through, and I'm afraid they will destroy it."
It would be normal for some accident to happen in the middle. If the Daltons did not respond, that would be the problem.
Hudson didn't care about the low-level monsters on the periphery. He dared to cause trouble, so he captured them. The mother was a beast and the male was a mount.
However, the technology has not met the standards these days, and it is easy to build a few gates. When it comes to specific operations, no one can guarantee whether it can be retracted and released freely.
However, thinking of Hudson's status in the late stage of the war, Jose instantly understood. A typical example of getting rich - relying on war.
"According to your pace, let's deal with it normally!
Select a group of young and strong people from the leaders and let them practice water quality in the canal. When the familiarity is almost done, they will arrange for people to go to the offshore area for attempted fishing.
…”
As for the call for everyone to acquire war bonds not long ago, which fell into the eyes of Caesar IV, it was Hudson who was doing a political show.
Jacob replied seriously.
By looking at the navigation along the way, you will know that in addition to having special management agencies on both ends, everyone is allowed to freely navigate.
There is a direct conflict between these two plans and is still under internal discussion and discussion. There is no relevant plan and feasibility report analysis yet."
After detecting the magic, Hudson took the letter and opened the envelope directly in front of everyone.
In addition, the factors that cannot be separated from homeland are almost inevitable, and some people resist migration.
I was originally planning to escort the griffin cavalry, but unfortunately the griffin was limited in strength and could not carry a large amount of bonds.
"You go back and tell Your Majesty that I will take this secret mission."
If you want others to work wholeheartedly in the future, you cannot simply use force to solve the problem. If you need to be comforted, you must comfort it.
Build fishing boats and make various fishing tools. There are related information in the warehouse. You can find it yourself.
More than 90% of the salt circulating on the cities in the southeastern provinces comes from the sea, and is monopolized by the entire Dalton family.
Originally, everyone was following the royal family, but suddenly they wanted to work with a country noble, and the gap in their hearts was bound to be indispensable.
The water flow is so high, and no matter how the canal is repaired, the upper limit will be stuck.
It is unknown how much strength has increased, but the body shape is even more bluffing. If you go out to pretend to be the Dragon King, I am afraid that 99:99% of people... will be deceived.
The situation is different now. The sea is not from the Dalton family. They can extract salt from the sea water, and we can do it too.
Hudson continued to ask.
It can not only ensure efficiency, but also have enough force. It can also avoid the holy See's eyeliner when acting at night.
Not to mention offending all of them, even if you offend one of them, it is a great risk.
However, the biggest problem here is transportation. Ordinary people are sent to you, not to mention safety issues, it is too late to go through time.
As an inland noble, the Koslo family should not have these non-spoken information under normal circumstances. However, according to Hudson's tone, his lord not only has it, but also has a lot of information.
Hudson doesn't know the specific amount, but this must be an astronomical number anyway.
The money from the Holy See is useless if it is not profitable. If you want to collapse the finances of the Kingdom, you will naturally have to pay the price for it.
As soon as the mission was dispatched, a pair of griffin cavalry suddenly fell from the sky and landed accurately on Hudson's ship.
The best way is to transport the bonds to various parts of the mainland, sell them to the Holy See in batches, and then redeem them and then take them back and destroy them publicly.
Backing against the sea is our greatest advantage and we must use it as soon as possible.
Jacob explained with a grievance.
They dare not take the canal project that the lord personally arrested, but some things cannot be solved by hard work.
Purchase from the royal family?
Just think about it. It would be a big miracle that the royal family could sell the shipyard to the mountain tribe.
Of course, he is not only the one who performs the mission together. The Kingdom will also send Sky Knights and the Great Magicians to escort them together.
Hudson encountered such a thing many times during the previous immigration relocation. However, the immigrants were all serfs and did not have the courage to force the lord.
This is also another tacit understanding between the great nobles, deliberately setting up technical barriers to increase the difficulty of the rise of emerging nobles.
The bear with great face in his family said that the monsters inside were not easy to mess with, so Hudson naturally would not make things uncomfortable for himself.
As expected, Hudson had to bring his monsters with him when he went to the toilet, otherwise he would probably die inexplicably.
There is plenty of rain in the mountains, but no matter how sufficient rainwater is, it has its limit.
What's more, I gave the Dalton family a big gift not long ago, and they were embarrassed to turn against each other so quickly.
If you offend it, a rogue bear like Bear Stearn who is good at beating pokers, then there will be no peace.
Hudson said calmly.
Now that the canal has been opened, the next step is to make good use of this canal and make the territory's economy prosperous.
Judging from the current market price, if you make a comeback and flip, you will have at least 10% of the profit. If the bond price continues to recover, the profit will be even higher.
...
When it comes to fighting and causing trouble, Bear Stearn is better than a little more flexible; but when it comes to being scary, Maxim is more professional.
God knows how many bonds the Holy See received during the transportation process. If a large number of bonds were smashed together, the Kingdom of Alpha would not be able to bear it.
There is no way, the kingdom is playing too much this time.
"Dear Count Hudson, we will hand you this letter on the order of the king!"
It can be seen that Hudson was very reluctant. But there was no way. The Holy See would use up all the cash flow of the Kingdom without hesitation to pay money and force the Kingdom to declare a debt default.
Caesar IV's response plan this time was very consistent with his appetite. Since the Holy See wanted to buy war bonds on the market, we should just sell more to them.
The craftsmen in the shipyard also have no personal freedom, but their vision and insight are still higher than those of serfs.
Anyway, as long as the kingdom government is willing to admit that there is no such bond, it will not affect the final redemption.
"Don't worry, Count, I will handle this matter properly.
If something happens in the middle of the journey and the bonds are not delivered safely to the local area, the Alpha Kingdom will really only have one way to lose money.
Usually these things are accumulated slowly by time and experience.
I wishfully thought that the mountain lord lacked financial resources and it was impossible to take out a lot of cash to take over the kingdom.
The huge body was originally very good, especially after following him, his body developed again and grew two meters later.
