The sun shone in through the window, making the whole office bright. Because the autumn harvest was coming, Lelouch had to deal with the problem of falling food prices due to the bumper harvest, so he was very busy during this period.
At this moment, Lelouch was lying on his desk reviewing documents. At this time, the newly recruited secretary walked in with a cup of coffee in his hand.
"Mr. Mayor."
The secretary had an outstanding appearance, a tall and plump figure. She bent down and placed the coffee next to Lelouch and spoke softly.
Because of the angle, Lelouch could see Yuanyuan when he looked up.
But Lelouch is much more reliable than playboys like Marshall, Al, and Libya. He won't have any improper relationship with the secretary.
"Thank you, Miss Amida." Lelouch thanked the secretary politely.
"You're so polite, Mr. Mayor." Miss Amida looked at Lelouch with charming eyes.
The mayor is not interested in the secretary, but the secretary is interested in the mayor.
At present, the most wealthy bachelor in the White Eagle Territory is of course Luther Pompey, the White Eagle Governor and the next generation head of the Pompey family.
The next bachelor is the golden bachelor Lelouch.
Amida applied for the secretary position, but she had an ulterior motive.
"Lelouch." At this time, footsteps sounded, and Luther walked in quickly. He was stunned when he saw the situation in the office, and then he said jokingly: "I think I came at the wrong time."
"Don't be naughty, kid." Lelouch didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then said to Miss Amida: "Make another cup of coffee."
"Okay, Mr. Mayor." Miss Amida nodded, then glanced at Luther and left with a twist of her head.
Is this White Eagle's number one ideal fiancé, Luther Pompey? I feel excited just by looking at him.
My heart is about to jump out of my chest.
"Nice figure." Luther said with a smile after Miss Amidah left.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm not interested in secretaries." Lelouch rolled his eyes at Luther.
"That's a shame. Office romance is exciting." Luther said regretfully.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Luther came to the chair in the office and sat down, and asked, "Mr. Mayor, is there a coal mine in my territory?"
"This is truly miraculous. There is a medium-sized coal vein in the White Eagle Territory."
Lelouch showed a good luck expression, bent down, took out a map from the drawer and unfolded it. The map showed the seven cities in the White Eagle Territory.
"here."
Lelouch said, pointing to a spot.
"Billy City?" Luther said.
The shape of the entire White Eagle Territory seems to be a vertical oval. The northern territory is Silver Wing City, the southern territory is Pompeii City, and Bili City belongs to the hinterland of the territory.
The discovery of coal resources in Bili City is a very, very beneficial thing.
"It's Bili City." Lelouch nodded, then put away the map and said, "No one cared about coal before, and no trace of coal mines has ever been found within the White Eagle Territory. We are really lucky this time."
"But what's the use of coal?"
Lelouch was still confused.
"Governor, your coffee." At this time, Miss Amida walked in again, twisting her waist and handed the coffee to Luther.
"The purpose of coal will soon be revealed. If you want to know, accompany me to Bili City. Oh, and send someone to inform Miss Alice that the eldest daughter of the baron wants to get a piece of the pie. It just so happens that I am not very interested in worldly business at the moment, so I will leave the matter of making trains and rails to her."
“By the way, send someone to find my mother as well. A business like mining has to be in our own hands.” Luther said.
"I don't understand." Lelouch shrugged, then looked up and said to Miss Armida: "Send someone to inform Madam Sophie and Miss Alice to gather at the City Hall. Tell them that we are going to Bili City. Prepare guards and escort knights."
"Yes." Miss Amidah responded and went downstairs.
"It's convenient to have a secretary." Luther said with a smile.
Lelouch ignored him, the pervert.
Soon, the carriages, guards and escorts gathered, and Mrs. Sophie and Miss Alice also came. The four of them squeezed into a carriage and headed towards Bili City.
Since Lelouch took charge of the entire White Eagle Territory, he has done a lot of work.
The most important thing is the expansion of roads. All the main and secondary roads in the White Eagle Territory were repaired and expanded.
This is based on Luther's theory that if you want to be rich, build roads first.
So riding in a carriage is not bumpy at all, but rather very comfortable.
"What kind of business is this? You should reveal some information now, right?" Miss Alice was like a hungry strong man, eager to learn more about this mysterious business.
"What is the use of coal?" Mrs. Sophie asked curiously. Mrs. Sophie had only heard of opening iron mines and copper mines, but had never heard of opening a coal mine.
That thing is just a black stone. Although it can burn, it is not as useful as wood.
Luther glanced at Miss Alice and remembered that he had always been teased by the eldest daughter, so Luther decided to tease her as well.
"Miss Alice, do you know why steam comes out when water boils?" Luther asked with a smile.
"When water evaporates, of course there will be water vapor." Miss Alice rolled her eyes at Luther.
"Oh, I underestimated you." Luther said with a smile, and then Luther smiled and said: "Then do you know that water vapor is actually a kind of energy?"
"Energy, what kind of energy is water vapor?" Miss Alice really didn't understand and was full of question marks.
"I just won't tell you." Luther said with a smile.
Miss Alice exploded at once, but considering that Madam Sophie and Lelouch were present, she did not act strangely. However, she made up her mind to tease Luther when there was no one around.
Let this guy know that beautiful women are not to be messed with.
After walking for several days, the group finally arrived at the city of Belgium. It took another three hours to reach a piece of land in the northeast of Belgium.
There were large fields all around, covered with golden wheat. One of the fields was bought by the city hall, and all the crops were leveled.
Several small cabins were built on this farmland.
"The exploration team has been disbanded, but there are still two wizard apprentices left, Miss Michelle and Mr. Mabusi. The others are some officials and practitioners from the city hall."
Lelouch said in the carriage.
As they were talking, the cabin had already arrived. The guards opened the doors on both sides of the car, and Luther and his party of four got out.
