When it was the turn of the Ministry of Chemical Industry, Kaimo snorted, "Your Highness, I hope you can find the real person in charge as soon as possible, I don't want to come to this kind of meeting for a second time." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"......" Roland rolled his eyes secretly, after becoming a leader, he found that there were some words to be selectively ignored, where is it so easy to find a talent who has dabbled in alchemy and chemistry?

"No," Kemo shrugged, "that's why I need to spend more energy and more people working on this project, rather than sitting here wasting time," he said after spending a lot of time in town, and he also had some Roland vocabulary in his words, "If I had to report, I would only say that the lab is short of people, and the more people who come, the better." In addition, although these five people who have recently joined are not very old, they are all quite smart, and it seems that the primary education you got is still of little use. ”

Well, the chief alchemist is probably the most disrespectful of his words and attitudes, but considering the age of the other party and the degree of enthusiasm for chemical experiments, Roland has no objection. You must know that after he was completely cured by Nanava after the explosion, his first reaction was that he could experiment unscrupulously, and he also planned to taste the taste of different acids, and there was no one else who was enthusiastic about it.

"Alright...... You continue to study, I'll let Barov find a way to fill the shortfall. ”

"By the way, Your Highness," said Camo again, "has your book of Medium Chemistry been written, and if you could have given me a detailed reference, perhaps I would have come up with a large-scale method of making acids sooner." ”

"I said at the award ceremony that I would give you the books as soon as the apprentices and assistants you trained could fill the newly built laboratory," Roland said. In fact, the book has not been touched at the moment - elementary chemistry alone has drained him of what little knowledge of chemistry he had, and intermediate chemistry may not be able to make up a few pages even if he racks his brains.

The fourth is the Minister of Construction, Carl Van Burt.

"First of all, I would like to thank Lord Shidamaki," he nodded to him, "and I am really happy to know that these children have graduated." ”

Compared to the chief alchemist, Mr. Stonemason's social talent can be described as a world of difference, and the scroll nodded back, "This is what I should do." ”

Then Carl opened the notebook he was carrying, and said in an orderly manner: "Now all the projects in the town are progressing steadily, the main projects are the Kingdom Road, the Chishui Bridge, the new residential area and the new city wall. Among them, the construction of the Kingdom Avenue has reached 4,500 people, half of which comes from the Changge Fortress, which is expected to be completed next spring. The Chishui Bridge is still undergoing construction of the underground cement wall, and the residential area has been extended to the vicinity of the old city wall, with about 1,000 people building, and as long as the supply of bricks and cement can be guaranteed, the scheduled task of moving all the fugitives from the eastern border into the town can be completed before the arrival of the demon moon. ”

Since Karl often reported to Roland on the latest developments of the project, this statement was very brief, such as the expansion of the castle district and the construction of the witch's house, which he did not mention. In addition, after the new city wall is set in a position and the line is pulled, it is completely carried out by Lian alone, and the progress is maintained at about 100 meters every day.

"Hard work," Roland nodded, the engineering department is the department with the largest amount of money in terms of personnel and allocation, so it has the most results, "While stepping up construction, don't forget to publicize the preferential treatment policy of the border town, these handymen from the fortress can also be regarded as a qualified craftsman after a year of practice, you have to keep them in the town as much as possible." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Karl replied.

"So the next one...... Iron axe. ”

It was the first time for Iron Axe to participate in such a meeting, and it seemed a little uncomfortable. He cleared his throat, "Your Highness, the army is mainly two things, first of all, the second army has completed the basic training and can be sent to the fortress at any time. Secondly, with the addition of new blood, the First Army now has 825 people, leaving aside the 350 men of the artillery team, and the rest of the soldiers have all been reequipped with revolver rifles. That's all I have to say. After the report, he gave a military salute.

"Yes, let the Second Army set off tomorrow, remember to have reliable men in the ranks, and not to interrupt daily training and ideological training in the fortress, and to report to the town every week. Roland instructed.

The last to speak was Barov, who first looked around the crowd for a week before saluting Roland unhurriedly, "Your Highness, since the last time you paid the transportation money and the Tasa mission to the Margaret Chamber of Commerce, the gold inventory of the city hall has dropped very seriously, and this time there is a bumper harvest, but the Ministry of Agriculture still buys grain at the normal market price, resulting in only more than 2,000 gold dragons left in the inventory, which is a relatively dangerous boundary. ”

Two thousand golden dragons...... It was a lot of money compared to the previous winter, but Roland also knew that the situation in the town was no longer the same. The monthly remuneration of more than 5,000 workers in the engineering department alone is a huge expense, and the current high-paid First Army, factories, chemical laboratories and town halls all cost a lot of money.

In other words, the frontier towns are now making money and spending money quickly - and this is based on the fact that most of the materials and machinery are self-sufficient.

"I see. But by the time the Margaery's caravan arrives in town early next month, it will be able to earn some money from the sale of steam engines," Roland responded, "and the purchase of food and the transportation of fugitives are not part of the daily expenses, so you don't need to worry too much about the gold inventory in the next six months." He paused, "Also, I'm going to raise your salary." ”

"Salary increase?" Barov was stunned.

"That's right, now that the town hall is no longer the agency that runs on a dozen people, your workload has increased dramatically, and your pay will naturally go up as well. The prince smiled, "From this month onwards, you will be raised to the salary of the monthly hardware dragon, and the department head will be two golden dragons per month, and then with reference to this ratio, the apprentices and assistants will also be uniformly raised." Rest assured, this money is not much, only about twenty or thirty golden dragons. ”

Although the hardware dragon is not very lucrative for the position of the head of the city hall, Roland knows that Barov loves power more - at present, all the financial revenues and expenditures of the border towns are counted and distributed by him, and there is no supervision department, and he can get hundreds of times the income if he keeps any hand. So far, there has been no sign of embezzlement.

Of course, in addition to relying on the other party's self-awareness, Roland can also use the Nightingale's ability to maintain the integrity of the department, and under her inquiry, no one can hide his bad deeds.

"Also, there's one thing you probably already know," he continued, "and I'm going to officially build a city here after the end of this year's Hive Moon, in other words, the town will be upgraded to a real city." This great city will stretch from the wilderness to the west, to the fortress of Changge in the east, and to the hills and seas in the south, and its walls are natural mountains and natural hazards, and the area will far exceed that of the royal capital, or even any city of the four kingdoms. ”

"So you still need to hurry up the work at hand and be in a better position to welcome the establishment of the new city," Rowland said after a pause, word for word, "I hope that this city will be as warm as spring even in the middle of the endless winter." (To be continued.) )
