"Of course. With your funding, everything goes very smoothly." Lelouch smiled happily, let go of Luther, and the two sat down.
Then, Lelouch told Luther about the recent developments in the White Eagle Territory.
Thanks to Luther's financial support, schools were set up smoothly everywhere. The meat and food needed by the 720,000 prospective knights were all provided by the Pompey family.
As long as we hold on for seven or eight years, we will have 720,000 knights.
Luther's educational program was the first of its kind in Prussia.
It also brought great popularity to the White Eagle emblem of the Pompeii family. Now, all seven cities in the White Eagle Territory are surrounded by the White Eagle emblem.
Not to mention that Luther promoted agriculture, a plan that was beneficial to all the lower-class people.
"If this continues, it won't take a hundred years. When the top combat power of the Pompeii family reaches the top, they will be able to be compared with the Count of Libya and the Duke of Ferge."
Lelouch sighed, he never dreamed that this day would come.
Originally he and Luther planned to strive for the title of baron, but now with this piece of land, it would not be too much to give him the title of duke.
"Don't be so quick to grin. The problem now is the outcome of the New Party's confrontation with Count Libya and Duke Felger. It's still a question whether I, the White Eagle Governor, can keep my seat firmly."
Luther shook his head calmly.
"Don't I know you? You must have a plan in your mind." Lelouch rolled his eyes at Luther, as if he was a worm in Luther's stomach.
Lelouch watched Luther climb up step by step and knew that his friend was very cunning.
"Hey, you saw through me." Luther smiled.
After laughing, Luther stood up and walked to the window, pulled the curtains and looked outside, a colorful metropolis.
Today, Pompeii is bustling with people, and has schools, opera houses, and various facilities that are very complete.
This is my city.
A city with a white eagle emblem.
It is my responsibility to protect this land.
"Although the situation is good now, we should not take it lightly. Because of the agricultural promotion, the price of food in White Eagle will definitely drop this year. Those nobles who own serfs will sell their serfs, and some farmers will choose to work. This is a big challenge for the city hall."
Luther turned around and said.
"Don't worry, I have done a good job in attracting investment. The six families, the Morgan family, the Habsburg family, the Gandal family, the Wilson family, Miss Alice, Baron Philip, and Baron Billy will cooperate with us to build more factories in the White Eagle Territory to meet the challenge."
Lelouch had a very smug look on his face, and his long mustache jumped up and down in a funny way.
Luther was a little surprised. Let’s not talk about the first few families, which have always been traditional allies of the Pompeii White Eagle Emblem, but Baron Philip and Baron Billy.
Speaking of which, there are some minor problems between these two families and the Pompeii family.
After all, it was the Pompeii family who deprived them of their hereditary territory.
It seems that as the saying goes, money can move people's hearts. There is money to make money, and the development of White Eagle Territory will be a big cake. For the sake of money, everyone can forget the new and old hatreds.
This is good.
"Not only these families, but also some wealthy people. With the decline in the agricultural population and the increase in the number of migrant workers, they will also be unable to resist building factories and recruiting workers. The new party's construction of the territory is a mess. By then, our White Eagle Territory will become the industrial center of Orange and burst out with powerful energy."
The Industrial Revolution.
Luther missed his past life, when steam engines and trains were invented first. As a time traveler, it was too much for him to use primitive tools in horse-drawn carriages to transport supplies.
Don’t worry about anything else, just lay the tracks and build the train.
As transportation costs decrease, the number of people required will decrease, and the extra people can become workers.
Orange can burst out with powerful force.
By the way, fast travel can also connect different places more closely. My poor Orange Hot Springs Resort is ready and just waiting to open.
I hope that when peace comes, all the rich people will come by train.
Thinking of this, Luther's heart was filled with warmth. Luther couldn't help rubbing his hands, and said to Lelouch with a smile: "By the way, how many wizards are there in our territory now, Mr. Wizard Apprentice?"
Before this, Luther recruited a group of wizards to go to the Treasure Star, but more wizards were unwilling to accept the magic contract.
So now there are still many wizards left in the territory.
"There are sixteen registered wizards and fifty-two apprentices." Lelouch had a good memory and answered immediately.
"Find these wizards, pay to form a geological exploration team, and find coal mines and oil." Luther took a breath and said seriously.
"Coal mine? What's the use of that thing?" Lelouch was a little confused.
Of course there are coal mines in this world, but they are not taken seriously. Wizards are not interested in developing secular technology. They specialize in the human body, powerful weapons, and so on.
People couldn't use coal mines for burning, after all, it was difficult to burn a whole piece of coal. As for oil, not many people liked it because it had a strange smell when burned.
Wizards also once said that oil is poisonous after burning and is a very bad thing for ordinary people.
"Coal and oil will make our White Eagle Territory fly." Luther smiled, stretched out his right hand, opened his palm, and raised it upwards.
"I don't understand." Lelouch shook his head, but smiled and said: "But your actions all have a purpose, and so far, your chaotic ideas have become good policies and projects. I believe in you, don't worry, I will get this done."
"You are worthy of being my partner." Luther smiled.
What do trains need as energy? Coal.
As long as we can find coal, building trains won't be a problem. Because wizards in this world are all very smart, and every one of them can become a scientist.
It's just that they don't usually pay much attention to these things. As long as Luther spends money and lets them build trains and lay rails, they will definitely do a better job than the engineers in the previous life.
Money makes the world go round, this saying is applicable in any world.
Then, Luther talked with Lelouch for a long time, sorting out the things in the territory, and then walked out of the city hall with satisfaction.
If nothing unexpected happens, Luther will stay in the territory until the new party decides the outcome on the one hand, and the Libyan Count and Duke Ferger on the other.
Industrialization was carried out in the territory, and Prussia was engaged in thief capture and development of Kazakhstan.
It feels so good to build your own country and territory bit by bit.
