"Come on...Brother Sean, let me introduce you."
"Your Highness!"
Before Claude could speak, Illya behind him suddenly spoke.
Well……
"You are." His eyes lit up when he looked at the other person.
Claude has reached the age to get married. In this world, people get married early, and his sister's situation is considered unusual. And since he has bestowed the status of Earl Luke, it is estimated that the two of them will get married soon.
"Are you Brother Sean's new maid?" Claude asked directly.
"I told you to call His Highness, otherwise you might not be able to leave this door." Illya said unhappily.
"It's not that serious... Claude is someone I've known since my early years. Let's just be casual in private. Go prepare some herbal tea first." After sending Illya Sean away, he looked at the person next to Claude.
show:
[, Half-Demon], favorability is [Respect]...
A level 7 orderer who actually has demon blood.
"Who is this?"
The man looked like an ordinary person, except for his fluorescent pupils. He was a short man. Because of his beard, it was hard to tell whether he was in his thirties or twenties.
"Brother Sean, you don't know him." He looked disappointed.
Should I know him?
"Oh, that's right. Brother Vanir and Sister Latina never told you back then, and you didn't have time anyway... This guy's called Yorkie Wedger, and he's the mechanic in their mercenary team."
When he said this, Sean remembered.
When I first recruited the Vanir mercenary team, I often heard them say that they used to operate in groups of five, and that a mechanic left the team because he thought they were too lazy.
However, later on, because the mercenary team was doing well under his command, he called the mechanic back.
"It's you!"
"Greetings, sir... I should call you Prince now. We met before in Oro City, but I was not able to enter the Earl's Palace and instead worked in Claude's factory."
Sean paused for a moment when he heard this.
"Of course, His Highness took great care of our team at that time. It was just that he went to Brother Claude's factory."
He can still talk.
At least he can talk better than Vanir and the others!
"I heard you were a mechanic."
"My family has always been mechanical foundry workers, since I was a child..." said Yorkie.
Sure enough, bloodline does make sense. People who focus on casting may not be human if they can be traced back to the most ancient times. However, Sean didn't have time to study these things at the moment. He took the two of them and went straight to his palace.
"It's just right that you're here. Come with me first... I have a lot of things to discuss with you." Illya waved her hand while pouring tea to the back.
"Let's take them to the palace together."
Behind
Claude jumped over to Illya, who was holding the teapot.
"Sister's name is Illya? Why does it sound more like she's from the Zambutal region?"
"Sister? It seems like you are older than me."
"What about my sister?"
Illya rolled her eyes at him.
"Stop talking nonsense, this name was given to me by His Highness."
………………
In the prince's palace, Sean rushed to the study as soon as he entered...
All the sand tables sent by Melsusa have been completed here, and during this period of time, he also used the fast flying ability of the falcon to open the maps of most capital cities.
Now, by observing the flow of people throughout the capital every day, we can find out where it is more appropriate to plan.
"The reason I'm in such a hurry to get you here is because I want to use your strength to improve the backward status of Adak's industry. I think you should have noticed when you came here, how is the industry in this area?" Sean asked the two people, and also wanted to hear their opinions.
"Very bad." Claude said bluntly.
"No wonder we were able to suppress the enemy with artillery, they didn't even need them!"
"That's because their strength far exceeds these, so there's no need to use firearms."
The battle with the Golden Group was almost the second time Sean felt that he was about to die. Their fighting power was beyond words.
Simple artillery...
Even more powerful artillery would be useless against such fierce combat, so firearms were at most used by civilians for hunting or as toys for nobles.
"But explosives and artillery are worth keeping in reserve. You never know when they might be useful. But these things may not be the most urgently needed in this area."
Turn to Yokeri Wedger and ask him what he thinks.
"I think it should be production. When we came here, I saw with my own eyes the means of transportation they used. Flying dragons are indeed more stable than airships, and the transportation capacity of iron-hoofed oxen far exceeds that of modified mechanical carriages."
"Yes, that's it!"
As expected, everyone in the mercenary team is talented.
"This is what I need from you. I plan to spend the next few years increasing the industrial productivity of the entire Jagun. For example..."
In fact, what most people need most is medicinal materials. Medicines are luxury goods no matter which country they are in.
Normally, when people are sick, they have to spend a lot of money to buy a certain amount of potions and herbs from alchemists.
But Sean now understands alchemy, and that thing can be partially replaced by industry... Ordinary medicinal herbs are very easy to obtain, and if they are not available, just ask someone to grow them.
With simple processing and synthesis, it can be turned into ointment or powder, even potion is not difficult to make.
On the other hand, regarding the steel and metal tools used, Jagun is really not as good as countries like Zambutal in this regard.
Others are refining metals industrially, but here we still rely heavily on ordinary blacksmiths and even more alchemists...
Why did the golden sword turn into a golden shape when he held it? It was because the golden sword had the alchemist's refining array, and it was activated by the blood of his family, so there was the scene of confirming the identity that day.
It looks good.
But in Sean's opinion, it is essentially inferior to the fine forging, and others can be mass-produced.
"So the task before us is very serious. I need you to build a factory in the capital. I have already found a location." Sean pointed to a place on the sand table that he had been observing for a long time.
This place was decided after considering the wind direction, water source and population flow.
"Then I need you to take advantage of the low prices of your products to enter the market within these few months."
"Are you in such a hurry, Brother Sean?" Claude said.
"I have to be impatient. I don't have much time left... If it takes too long, the ministers will definitely complain. Besides, this is also the question I set for you."
Just like in Oro City.
There are many things that you don't need to do yourself. Just give them to your subordinates and they will rack their brains to complete the task.
