Father...Is it really necessary for us to do this?
On a clearing field outside Glow City, Hornquin looked at the busy workers from a distance and asked with a little dissatisfaction.
Located in front of the two was a rectangular flat square, which was about one thousand meters in longitudinal direction and only about half of the horizontal direction since the engineering team of Grayburg entered the morning light, the new length measurement method has also spread among the nobles.
It is different from the squares made of beautiful bricks and stones in the capital. The surface is completely paved with cement and looks gray, neither outstanding nor distinctive.
If you have to say one advantage, it may be convenient to build it. It only took less than a week from leveling the land to building and forming it.
However, even so, the workers involved in the construction are all from the team trained by the Quinn family themselves, which shows the importance.
oh?Hoverde Quinn, the current Lord of Dawn, looked at him with interest, what are you referring to?
His Majesty Roland had too many instructions. Horn said with his fingers, "It's both bridges and roads, and it's all major projects that cost dozens of miles. If you gather all the long-time workers in the family to do these things, what should you do if the work in the territory?"There are still several places to be repaired in the castle that have not started yet.
Of course, his dissatisfaction is by no means one or two points.
My father really valued the King of Graycastle too much.
It can even be described as harming others.
For example, cement, an alchemy product that looks like a wide range of ways will inevitably bring huge profits if monopolized in the hands of the family.
However, just because of the words in His Majesty Roland's letter, please make sure to expand its output as soon as possible, my father summoned the great nobles into the palace and announced the recipe in public.
Gathering the power of major chambers of commerce under the nobles, several cement factories were indeed established in a short period of time, but the achievements of the Quinn family were undoubtedly reduced.
When it was the turn to build the road, the situation turned the other way around.
Those great nobles all pushed and stopped, so my father simply did it himself.
From recruiting personnel to cooperating with the Grayburg Engineering Department to completing the construction, the Quinn family is responsible for it.
This is by no means a small fee. Although the annexation of the property of the Moan royal family has greatly increased the family's strength, it is also as fast as water.
Seeing the coins in the vault drop day by day, Horn said it was impossible not to feel sorry for him.
The key is that building roads does not mean commercial investment. The Golden Dragon that pays for business may be exchanged for more wealth, but what can the road connecting Mobei River to Langshan be reaped?
It is not even within territory controlled by the Quinn family!
Even if it can promote business development in disguise, the only ones that are cheaper are the lords on the border.
Judging from the current situation, His Majesty Roland wants to build more than one or two things. This inexplicable and invisible flat ground in front of him is proof.
If you continue to squander like this, the family will sooner or later encounter a dilemma of not being able to make ends meet.
In fact, he has heard a lot of criticism from some branches within the family.
What made Horn feel most unpleasant was his father's attitude towards the Greyburg people.
Not only do every project be personally inquired, but officials from the engineering department are often summoned to the palace and actively asked about their requirements.
It would be fine if the other party was a noble, but the problem was that Horn found out clearly that these foreign officials were all civilians and had no prominent family background.
His father, as the king of a country, invited civilians to talk to his deskmates, which was really hard for him to accept.
And today, when I heard that someone from the Gray Castle was coming to Glow City, my father brought a large group of people to the outside of the city early to wait. This is simply incredible that as the ruler, it is enough respect for meeting in the castle. How can the royal family achieve this?
Horn suspected that his adoptive father was atonement to Andrea.After all, all this change began after Hoverd said goodbye to his daughter.
What can I do?Hoverd shrugged, "The others don't want to work hard, I can't let them do it, right?"You have also seen the power of Graycastle. Do you think I can hold this position without the support of the Wimbledon family?
No, father...I'm not asking you to fight Grayburg, Horn waved his hands repeatedly, but you just told me a few words to let your subordinates do it, and Roland Wimbledon couldn't find any fault.The funds required can also be slowly negotiated with the local lord to make a deal a compromise. The more anxious the merchant is, the easier it is to suffer losses. This is the truth you once taught me.
Unfortunately, the battle of divine will is not a deal.
It is true, but... Horn bit his lip and finally mustered up the courage to say, but you are like this now, some people think that you are not like the Lord of the Dawn, but the minister of His Majesty Roland Wimbledon!
He thought this would make his father furious, but the latter just stared at him for a while, and then laughed lightly. I ask you, why do this continent have the sayings of four kingdoms, not five or three?
Uh... Horn was caught off guard when facing the sudden change in the topic, because... these four are the strongest families?
More precisely, it is within their respective territories.Hoverde replied that the power of the family will weaken as the distance increases. The so-called border is the critical point where the forces on both sides reach equilibrium.But now, this critical point no longer exists. As long as Roland Wimbledon is willing, he can completely take all the territory of the four kingdoms. Since that is the case, what's wrong with me being his vassal?
Horn subconsciously retorted, Father!Even if the army of Graycastle could fight, he could not control such a large territory!Have you exaggerated his abilities too much...
It's you that you haven't realized the changes in Graycastle, kid.Hoverd breathed a long sigh. Roland might not have it before, but now distance can no longer be an obstacle to his rule. Of course, if you have not learned in depth what he has done, it is naturally hard to imagine how far he has done.
How did you... know?
Hoverd smiled, Andrea replied to my letter.
This made Horn's heart sank.
Just as he was about to persuade his father again, a burst of screams suddenly came from afar.
Then there was a dull buzz.
Horn looked in the sound and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.I saw a neat black shadows appearing in the sky, which lined up in a straight line and were flying towards the city of Glow along the skyline.
Is that... a migrating bird?
But after a moment, the idea was rejected, and the size of the black dots quickly grew to a level far beyond any kind of bird in the world, and it was still expanding.
Horn gradually widened his eyes, it turned out to be something artificial!
The workers present who witnessed this scene couldn't help but put down the tools in their hands and screamed.
Many passing caravans also stopped and looked up at the sky.
It was incredible... He actually did this.Hoverd raised his lips and said the person I want to pick up... is here.
Hearing this sentence, Horn was stunned. Could it be that these square birds were vehicles made by Gray Castle?
How is this possible!?
