"One thing I forgot to tell you, tomorrow I'm going to visit the Karon Industrial Zone, where there are already several factories, the largest of which is the National Mint," Roland leaned against the door and pointed to Anthony's pocket watch bag, "If you are interested in doing business in the Karon Industrial Zone, go to 10 Independence Avenue tomorrow morning to find me. ”

Despite all the complaints, Anthony Fogel rushed to report to the Cabinet office early the next morning.

Roland showed up on time at eight o'clock, along with Lyudmila. The last time Roland inspected the industrial zone, he was accompanied by Antron, and today Antron is still on vacation, and the industrial zone is not a subordinate department of the central bank after all, Roland went to inspect today as an assistant to the prime minister, and was accompanied by Lyudmila, the "cabinet senior affairs officer", and the name was rightly changed.

Being able to accompany Roland out for a walk, Lyudmila couldn't ask for it. These days, Roland always works in the central bank, she can't lift her spirits alone in the cabinet residence, and she sneaks to No. 10 Financial Street to take a walk around when she has nothing to do, sometimes Roland is too busy for her to be disturbed, and it is also very satisfying to peek at him through the window to focus on his work. I thought that I could take the opportunity of a business trip to be alone with Roland today, but as soon as I went out, I bumped into an eyesore guy, and listening to his tone of greeting Roland, it seemed that she had already made an appointment to go with her, which made her secretly unhappy.

"This kid is a little familiar......," Lyudmila stared at Anthony up and down, turned around and asked Roland, "Is it the one we turned into a snake in the temple dungeon?" ”

"That's right, I'm that guy." Without waiting for Roland to introduce Anthony, he confessed, "Good morning, Miss Lyudmila." He didn't dare to be rude to the hot-looking and pretty giantess in front of him, not only because the other party was the baby daughter of the Minister of Commerce and the Queen-to-be, and the lover of His Royal Highness the Prince, but also because he had suffered from Lyudmila when he was choked by the giantess from behind in the dungeon.

Lyudmila didn't have a good impression of Anthony Fogel, nodded coldly and ignored him, turned around and asked Roland in a low voice: "Why did you bring this guy with you?" ”

"There are already a lot of factories in the Karon Industrial Zone, at least half of which are factories that serve the government like the mint, and the accounting problems involved are relatively complicated, and in the eyes of some people, the state will not make money for nothing, and if it is not supervised, tax evasion and even fraud in collusion between officials and businessmen will surely become popular." Roland glanced at Anthony and continued to say to his girlfriend, "Don't underestimate this person, no one knows better than him about those crooked ways in the field of accounting and taxation, no matter how seamless the fake accounts seem to be, they can't hide from his eyes, I plan to contract the audit business of the industrial zone to him, and take him to meet Semyon and Isaac and others, which can be regarded as a warning to them." ”

"This kid himself is from a profiteer family, aren't you afraid that he will collude with the audited manufacturer?"

"I don't have the energy to supervise hundreds of enterprises in the industrial zone, and handing over these troublesome things to Anthony can be regarded as 'fighting poison with poison', as for him colluding with the manufacturer to deceive me......" Roland smiled faintly, "I can't rule out this possibility, so I will be especially wary of the audit report he submits, unless he has the confidence to lie under the dual monitoring of 'seeing through lies' and 'the domain of honesty' and not being seen through by me, otherwise he will not do such a stupid thing." ”

"Hey! Please, can you not beware of me as a thief? Anthony cried out, "I'm a man of principle!" ”

Roland raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to be excited, and said calmly: "I don't say this against you, in fact, anyone in your position I have to take him as a thief, otherwise there will be suspicion of dereliction of duty, but on the other hand, I can't find a more suitable person than you to contract this business." ”

Anthony listened to this very pleasantly, and confidently puffed out his chest: "Time will prove that you have made a wise choice, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

"Let's not talk about that, let's hurry up and hit the road."

There are more places to run today, and Roland will not take the train anymore, so he calls the "navigation messenger" Sputnia to come out, hold the hands of Lyudmila and Anthony, and teleport directly to three hundred miles away in the next moment.

The lower reaches of Karon Falls were originally a desolate river beach, and it is no exaggeration to describe the changes that have taken place in the Far East in just three months.

As the first base in the Five-Year Plan, Karon Industrial Park brings together all the resources that the Kolas government can mobilize, including not only millions of dollars, but also talent from all walks of life recruited from the "capital town circle" from Krasburg to Grand Rapids.

Before the park has completed the infrastructure, the number of enterprises that have signed letters of intent to set up factories in the industrial zone has reached three digits, including almost all the elites of the Far Eastern industrial circles, and even the most ordinary construction workers have to choose young and experienced construction workers, otherwise they cannot cope with the tight construction schedule and strict construction standards.

Roland and his party teleported directly outside the gate of the mint. The director of the management committee of the industrial complex, Semyon Ivanovich, and the director of the mint, Isaac Trifonovich, are already waiting. Lyudmila and Anthony were still visiting for the first time, and Roland gave a brief introduction to both sides, and then offered to visit the coin smithing workshop.

Last time, because of temporary things, he didn't have time to visit, Roland deeply regretted it, and today he finally got his wish and saw with his own eyes how "Jintale" was processed.

The processing workshop is located on the riverbank, the turbulent river water impacts the huge water turbine, the rapidly rotating steel cast wheel blades roll up the waves and throw them into the sky, and the water vapor spreads above the river surface, forming a white mist that lasts for a long time, and the morning light is refracted into a rainbow.

"My lord is above, this is beautiful!" Lyudmila looked at the rainbow above the river, her eyes lit up in admiration.

"yes, that's beautiful......," Roland muttered to himself.

In front of him was a stamping mint connected to a water turbine, using a complex gearing to convert the impact of the river into mechanical power, pulling ten parallel hammers high and slamming them down in the same cycle, while a conveyor belt, also driven by a water turbine, carried a standard 25-pound gold brick to an anvil beneath the hammer.

The large bricks are hammered like soft dough spread out on an anvil, and after repeated impacts, they become a flatbread of uniform thickness, which is then sent to the next group of punches by a conveyor belt.

The second set of punches is covered with a thick layer of steel plates, the surface of which is neatly engraved with the reverse pattern of the gold coin, with a delicate security pattern around the number "1" and the currency unit "Thaler (t)".

The pure gold plate was placed on the punch press, and the workers with quick hands and feet firmly fixed it, then released the insurance, pulled down the switch, and the heavy hammer hovering above the punch machine roared and smashed down.

This process appears to be much the same as before, except that instead of being smooth and flat as the previous one, the hammer is engraved with the standard "Quintal" motif, including a portrait of King Rudolf I on a side, delicate patterns on the edges, and an abbreviated prayer "Praise be to my lord Sindra".
