Chapter 319 Chapter 317: Empire Changes (Subscription Request)
Nowadays, the magic industry in Flower Territory has been clearly divided into two parts.
Maruna is responsible for all the processing machinery, magical firearms, secret medicines, and ore smelting in the suburban factories outside Brussels.
He is considered to be the most loyal of Luo Yi's loyal descendants. It can be said that he was promoted and trained by Luo Yi himself, and is the most capable of implementing his ideas and policies.
Nowadays, the most profitable business of Xianhualing is also here.
In addition, batch after batch of practical workers with strong hands-on skills have been trained one after another.
These people may not have high upper limits, but they are all good at their jobs.
Moreover, they are the foundation for the Magic Energy Factory to reduce costs, increase efficiency and continue to expand, and are also reserve candidates for grassroots cadres.
It can also be said that Luoyi spares no expense in cultivating professional talents.
The other part is under the responsibility of Lord Hick Cruz.
This old man was a real man of action. He had no complaints about Maruna taking over the most profitable job.
Instead, he focused all his work on mining and railways.
There are quite a few railways in Xianhualing, but so far, all the transport capacity has been used for freight.
In other words, there was not a single passenger train running.
Moreover, according to Luo Yi's plan, the road will probably not be open to traffic in the short term.
As for mine construction, it is a transition from manual mining to mechanical mining.
Although the environment in the mines is still not good, the popularization of machinery has indeed reduced the demand for manpower and improved mining efficiency.
With the promotion of the magic energy industry, the demand for steel in Flower Territory has been growing at an exaggerated rate.
It was because Lord Shik Cruz was stationed there, running back and forth, keeping a close eye on the production and transportation of the mine that no mistakes were made.
But this is not a long-term solution, and the old man has written to complain more than once.
The core demand is just one: we want people!
To be precise, we need enough miners!
You have to admit that among all occupations, the work of miners is definitely the hardest and most tiring, and the working and living conditions are extremely poor, with a high mortality rate.
No one wants to be a miner if their family conditions are better or if there are other options.
It was also at this time that Roy learned that most of the previous miners were bought by Count Carl Raymond.
That’s right, it is purchased regularly from outside through slave traders.
The Old World was still relatively orderly, but the New World and those islands had too many indigenous people, and they were also the main source of slave trade.
However, Luo Yi could not accept this kind of deal!
Therefore, when this problem comes to him, the only way to solve it is to improve the working environment, reduce labor intensity, increase wages and benefits, and dispatch professional doctors.
With good conditions, it will naturally attract some people, and this is the limit of what he can do at this stage.
After these matters were dealt with, Luo Yi turned his attention back to the accounts.
At this time, it was already late October of the 313th year of the New Divine Calendar. Half of the year had passed, and the income from the flower collection could be roughly calculated.
It should be said that the accounts of the magic power factory managed by Mira Greenman are the clearest.
Every income and expenditure is clear and easy to see at a glance.
Through the diagram constructed by Deep Blue, Loy could almost clearly see the monthly growth rate, which was almost a straight line going up.
Especially after the arsenal was opened, the profits were even more exaggerated.
However, as income increases, purchasing expenses also increase significantly.
For example, lapis lazuli, and the various required parts and raw materials, all cost a considerable amount of money.
Almost all of these were purchased from the Habsburg Empire through the channels of the Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group, which can be considered a virtuous cycle.
However, it is very unwise to rely entirely on procurement. A complete industrial system must have its own production capabilities.
Therefore, Luo Yi thought that the next step should be to support as many industries as possible.
But this is not something that can be solved at this stage.
Of course, in addition to the income from the magic industry, the income from several other areas of Flower Territory is also rising steadily.
For example, the ship trade in Siren Port, with the regular patrol of magic warships, the majesty of the lion flag is growing, and after the safety is guaranteed,
Since then, it has become more prosperous!
With the increase in the number of ships traveling back and forth, the types of goods became more and more diverse, and tax revenue was naturally guaranteed.
The perfume trade, gold exchange income, grain import and export, land tax, horse farms, etc. were also reported.
Last year was a chaotic year for Xianhualing, with all revenues shrinking significantly.
This year, after stabilization, there will naturally be an explosive recovery and growth, coupled with the huge profits of the magic energy industry,
Loy was almost certain that both the Red Dragon Virgil and the vassals and knights would be very satisfied.
I have to say, after seeing the accounts, Luo Yi felt a little relieved.
Of course, while checking the accounts, Luo Yi also took the time to deal with the numerous letters.
There is no need to say much about the letters of Douglas Hill, Lady Linda and Gary Mills, but the content of Baron Miller's letters is extremely rich.
Since taking up the position of Minister of Railways, Miller has been traveling almost all over the empire.
Whenever he arrived at a place, he would send people to survey the terrain, determine the development plan, and draw up a railway construction map.
Then, they contacted the local aristocracy and promoted railway construction through a "joint venture model".
It should be said that every place has its own problems. Some places are relatively smooth and have shown positive performance.
Although there were setbacks in some places, the project could be carried out with the support of Loy's railway company.
But there was strong opposition in some places, and even Miller himself encountered danger many times.
The most serious incident involved a fourth-tier assassin attacking him, and several natural disasters surrounding him, who were really trying to kill him.
It was only after the powerful men sent by the empire risked their lives in a battle that they bought enough time for Miller to escape through the magic teleportation array.
The result of this incident was the rage and thunderous measures of Hohenzollern III!
This one even had a fifth-level legend take action to find all those fourth-level natural disasters one by one and hang them in the street!
As for the nobles and a series of forces behind them, none of them escaped and all were punished.
All territories were confiscated, those with titles committed suicide by taking poison, and all heads of families were hanged.
Then, one person will be selected from the branch to inherit the title, retain the surname, and leave some wealth, that's all!
It was also after this time that the legendary Royal Society sent a member to follow Miller.
From now on, no one dares to have any bad ideas anymore!
Since then, Miller's work has become much smoother. No matter where he goes, he is greeted with smiling faces.
Because everyone saw the emperor's determination, naturally no one dared to offend him.
Of course, these are just small episodes in the letters. Miller discussed with him more about the local customs, development conditions and many policies of the empire.
From his writings, Loyi could sense the drastic changes taking place in the empire.
Luo Yi's meditation potion and soul-calming spices have indeed stimulated great strides in education.
After a period of settling down, the number of magic apprentices with magical powers almost exploded.
They may not go far on the road of magical machinery, but they are definitely excellent magic gunners.
Nowadays, the Imperial Magic Academy has been continuously raising its admission requirements.
Before, students had to learn basic meditation after entering school, but now, only those with magical powers are eligible for admission.
Basic meditation courses have been popularized in primary and secondary education.
In addition, with the emergence of various processing machines, a rare phenomenon of "talent sinking" has occurred in magic machinery.
In the past, a second-level senior mechanical wizard or a third-level extraordinary mechanical wizard had to use specific magic to process various magical machines.
Nowadays, with processing machinery as the basis and skilled operators, even a first-level senior mage apprentice can do it!
All these circumstances made the empire rumble forward like a chariot running at full speed.
Based on this, the empire launched many plans including popularization of education, military reform and expansion, large-scale infrastructure, urban reconstruction, etc.
The empire is progressing and developing at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye.
Even Baron Miller was passionate and excited in his letters, and even found it difficult to suppress his emotions.
Luo Yi could understand that feeling, it was the awakening of a strong national consciousness and self-confidence.
Correspondingly, the power and prestige of the supreme emperor were so great that no one dared to look him in the eye.
But this is very dangerous!
Very dangerous!
Because, Luo Yi seemed to see a beast struggling to escape, sharpening its claws and fangs.
You never know when you will have to choose the people you eat!
Especially when the magic energy industry develops to a certain level and the domestic market becomes saturated, a large number of products need to find a way out...
Only then will the world be truly turned upside down!
However, although Roy had this feeling, he didn't even dare to mention it in his letter to Miller.
Another ten days passed, and after checking the accounts, Luo Yi turned his attention to the submarine trade.
In just over ten days, Master Walter and the Sea Monster King met twice more, and the number of times they communicated and negotiated was even greater.
Then, they finally confirmed one thing.
There is indeed a silver amber mine on the seabed, which is the current territory of the Siren Tribe!
The second update will be later, and there will only be two updates tonight.
